Chapter 771 The Royal Family Needs To Evacuate
In this world, the largest rayon company is not DuPont, but the British Man-made Fiber Company, which is a super money-making machine in the United States of the textile empire of the British Cote Oz family. The company has 18,000 people in the United States. employees, 7 factories.
Among them, the head of the company, old Sir Kurt Oz's hard work, and now, when he came to Churchill, his face was pale.
On the way here, he has heard the news that his company will be sold!
For a business that is still making money, it is inconceivable to sell it without any internal problems, and now, facing Churchill, the old Sir, maintains the nobility of the nobility.
"Sorry Sir Kurt Oz, this is the only thing we can do in order for the United States to pass Lend-Lease and for us in England to beat the Germans," Churchill said.
Facing Churchill's words, the veteran British gentleman only asked: "Is this decision based on the national interest, regardless of the pain it will cause to me and my company?"
National interests are above everything else, and when necessary, even personal property can be nationalized, and now, he can only ask this question.
"Yes." Churchill's face was shaking, but he still answered in the affirmative.
Everything is for the interests of the UK. If you want to blame it, blame the Germans!
Sir Court Olds did not speak, the old English gentleman collapsed on the seat, and at this moment he felt that there was no strength in his body.
He has just 12 hours to convene a board meeting to announce plans for the sale of the business. It can be said that this is almost the shortest record in the history of corporate mergers and acquisitions in the world.
If you want to give the United States sweetness, it will inevitably be accompanied by the cutting of meat from the British capitalists, because the man-made fiber company is the largest and the most difficult to convince. Churchill did it himself.
After sending the old gentleman away, Churchill closed his eyes. At this time, his brain was also in chaos.
UK, there is no choice. Even if this war goes on and Britain completely declines, the United Kingdom must fight. As a country with a history of thousands of years, how can it bear to become a vassal of Germany?
The US aid bill must be carried out as soon as possible. The sooner the supplies supported by the US arrive in the UK, the UK will have more hope!
In his chair, after closing his eyes and resting for a while, Churchill stood up. He is now dealing with all kinds of opportunities, and the battle on the front line is undoubtedly what he is most concerned about.
When he came to the command room, it was full of smoke and people liked to smoke, but Churchill was not the only one. Many people only had their brains working when they smoked.
"I think we should make a plan for the retreat as soon as possible, at least let the king and the royal family, various government agencies, retreat to the north." A voice said: "Now, the German forward is about to rush to Reading. "
After Exeter was destroyed by German bombers, the British resistance came to a standstill. They had no good way to stop the German advance, even if they wanted to pay enough casualties. There will be no positional warfare with them, and the German bombers will blow up all obstacles!
Under the current circumstances, it is not safe to remain in London.
In the past few days, London has been desperately preparing for the war, and bunkers have been piled up on the streets. Even if the Germans use the Exeter method, London will not yield!
A large number of troops assembled in London, even the third-line militia who had just picked up guns, also participated in the defense of London, and everything in Exeter did not scare them!
However, as a high-level, you must plan ahead.
Once London is conquered, should the king and the royal family be captured by the Germans?
This is absolutely not possible!
At a critical juncture, the royal family showed its calmness as always. The noble kings and queens often appeared on the streets to boost the morale of the people, and their safety was even more important.
Once it falls into the hands of the Germans, what if Germany forces them to surrender?
"Yes," Churchill walked in and said, "The evacuation of the royal family must be carried out immediately. Please rest assured, His Majesty, that even if they are not in London, we will fight heroically."
Churchill is supportive. It is more troublesome for the royal family to stay here. What if the mad Germans dare to disregard the dignity of the royal family and throw bombs over and destroy the entire city?
Without the royal family, the British people are scattered.
"Evacuate north first. The mountains to the north can delay the German attack." Churchill said.
Until now, even Churchill had prepared for the worst. If the Germans conquered London, the United Kingdom would have to remain in the mountains and continue to fight. At the same time, the royal family would even retreat to the colonies, which would be better. led Britain's Great Patriotic War.
If the king disagrees and vows to live and die with the city, that's okay! Churchill was ready to exhort him himself.
As long as the United States joins in, there will be a turning point on the battlefield! Churchill firmly believes in this, and if you persist, there will be hope!
Just then, with a cold wind, an adjutant came in.
"Mr Prime Minister, two news, one good news and one bad news."
"Bad news first."
"Our army in Africa suffered defeat, the German army captured Tobruk, and General Klopp surrendered to the Germans."
surrender! Hearing this, Churchill slammed his fist on the table, fighting to the death, fighting to the death, don't you understand? Look at Exeter, even if the 27th Brigade was all killed, it was unwilling to surrender. Without the spirit of a deadly fight, how could it fight the Germans?
"Our commander-in-chief in the Middle East, General Wavell, and others are currently missing, and they were all in Tobruk at the time."
This is really bad news! Churchill's face was ugly. Could it be that Wavell and others died in battle? Or did he not reveal his identity and surrendered as a lowly private?
"What's the good news?" Churchill asked.
With all this bad news, Churchill gave up hope for the so-called good news.
"We finally got in touch with Prime Minister Leclerc, who is doing well in Africa now," the adjutant continued: "Leclerc went to Chad, where he persuaded the Chadian authorities to join Free France. After that, he led the team to the south. Go."
"After he landed in Rua, Cameroon, with the support of the local people, Cameroon was quickly turned to the side of Free France, and he served as the governor of French Cameroon, where he established the first operating base of Free France. Now, Le Chancellor Claire is organizing and training the army of Free France."
