Chapter 570 We Will Fight to the End (Plus 3)
"Great people of Great Britain, today, I have a sad news for you." After the meeting, Churchill came to the radio room to broadcast to his people.
"Our battle in France is about to fail. Our army of hundreds of thousands is being surrounded by the Germans in the Flemish region of northern France. These armies are the future and hope of our country. We must not look at them. into the hands of the Germans."
"We are going to conduct a large-scale retreat, we are going to withdraw the expeditionary force from the mainland, and now, we need the support of the people."
"Stayed in northern France are our relatives, our lovers, our fathers and sons, and we have no choice now."
"Dark clouds hang over the whole of Europe, and our current army is our last hope. Whether from a personal or national perspective, we must not give up on them!"
"Now, I beg all British people who have heard the broadcast to act immediately. We have a serious shortage of ships. Even a sampan that can cross the English Channel can rescue a few of our brave soldiers. Now, the army We need you, the country needs you! Please, under the command of the navy, go to France, go to Dunkirk, and save our army!"
"This war on the European battlefield, we have temporarily lost, we will withdraw from the European continent, but we are definitely not completely defeated, we will fight to the end!"
"We will defend our homeland at all costs, we will fight on the beaches, we will fight on enemy landing points, we will fight in the fields and in the streets, we will fight in the mountains. We will never surrender!"
"Even if our island or a large part of it were conquered and starved - I never believed that would happen - our imperial subjects overseas, armed and protected by the British fleet, would continue to fight until the new world, as God sees fit, will use all its might to save and liberate the old world."
When Churchill's cadenced voice appeared on the radio, many gray-haired British elderly people shed tears, they remembered the cruel World War I, and World War II will be even more cruel than World War I!
Let's go and save your child! The fisherman put on his cloak and was ready to go out to drive his shabby fishing boat.
In the ship repair yard, the boatman put down his work and drove his own barge.
The noble noble also resolutely kissed his wife goodbye, started his own private yacht, and headed for Dunkirk!
Barges, tugboats, cargo ships, passenger ships, fishing boats, motorboats, private yachts, all kinds, as long as they can sail in the sea, are heading towards Dunkirk.
They are going to Dunkirk to bring back the British Expeditionary Force!
The radio waves spread all over the UK and were naturally picked up by Germany.
"Crack." Graff, Cyric's captain of the guard, turned off the radio, which had just finished playing Churchill's speech.
Cyric already knew English, so he could understand Churchill's speech almost without translation.
When the speech was over, Cyric closed his eyes and thought about it carefully.
What is Qiu Lame doing? Hard to catch? Or fake it?
This broadcast doesn't sound like much of a problem. One of the main problems is that he actually said the location of the rescue, Dunkirk!
This is different from history, because Dunkirk has been occupied by our own side. If the other side really wants to retreat from Dunkirk, it will never be announced on the initiative!
As long as they call those fishing boats together, and then naturally a naval ship will take them away, they will know where they are going. Why do they have to say it on the radio?
There must be something wrong!
Opening his eyes, Cyric stood up and looked for a long time in front of a large-scale map in front of him.
On the opposite side of the English Channel, the closest and most effective places are Dunkirk, Calais and Bren. Historically, Calais and Bren were occupied by German troops, so the British would retreat from Dunkirk.
But now, these ports are all under their control, and Dunkirk, as well as Rommel's main armored division.
Although Dunkirk is the closest retreat port to the British Expeditionary Force, but now that the German Armored Division is already well known, no one would be stupid enough to hit the German Armored Division's muzzle.
Why do the British believe they can open a breach in Dunkirk and save their troops?
Lame Qiu, there must be a conspiracy! In particular, if he was able to directly mention Dunkirk, it would definitely not be there!
If you let yourself choose, Calais and Bren are better choices.
I'm afraid, the British are also playing this idea, right? That being the case, let the British enjoy themselves!
"Order, Guderian's armored forces, move quickly in the direction of Calais and Bren, and completely block all the nearby coasts!"
It is not only the ports that can withdraw troops. There are a large number of coastlines around these three ports. Large ships cannot come up. Those small ships can easily drive to the vicinity of the beach, and then let the troops on the beach board the ship. .
The equipment is useless, at least people can withdraw it.
In the past, Cyric only looked at Dunkirk, but ignored other locations, but now, he will block all the surrounding coasts to see how the British retreat!
As the encirclement continued to shrink, the line of defense that the German army needed to guard became smaller and smaller. Finally, the Waffen SS could be freed up. Now, it was time for them to guard the beach.
The only problem is speed, they have to be fast!
Cyric also knew that there were water nets everywhere, the roads were muddy, and the advance of the army was very affected. Now, it depends on whether the army is tough enough. He believes that his Waffen SS will never let himself Disappointed!
Want to go back? It's not that easy!
At the same time, the radio broadcast also reached the anxious Anglo-French coalition forces that were being surrounded.
The military uniform on his body has long been defiled, and even the epaulette on his shoulder has fallen off. The unshaven French general's eyes shine again.
General Gaston Bjort, he's under a lot of pressure right now. Many times, he couldn't even bear this kind of pressure, and thought about simply sitting down and waiting to surrender to the Germans. The only motivation that supported him was the honor of being a soldier.
