Chapter 772 The King Leaves London

Leclerc, that is, Ortke Locke. After he came to England, he met Churchill. Churchill instructed the establishment of the Free French Organization to lead the French people to continue the war of resistance.

Leclerc did it silently, after all, to let him go back to France to lead the people's underground struggle would be just courting death, now under German rule, the French are paid more than they used to be and treated well, the French I didn't even think about resisting.

He can only go to the colonies to develop. After all, after France announced its surrender, there are still many colonies, and there is no clear statement.

Leclerc made it! He has found a new base for Free France, and he has opened up!

Although the Free France is still very weak, it is a good start. When they have trained their troops there, they will develop northward and continue to occupy the French colonies.

De Gaulle is gone, and the historical responsibility of de Gaulle is completely entrusted to Leclerc.

Hearing this news, Churchill silently lit a cigar, took two puffs, and finally spoke: "The road to struggle is rough, but, as long as there is firm confidence, I believe that victory must ultimately belong to Ours. Throughout history, we've never been really beaten!"

The smell of cigars can make Churchill sober, Churchill silently left No. 5 Downing Street and went to Buckingham Palace.

In 1837, Queen Victoria first moved to the residence in July, only three weeks after her accession, and Buckingham Palace was officially regarded as the residence of the British royal family until now.

King George VI of England lived here.

Now, the United Kingdom is precarious. During the day, the Germans will even launch large-scale air raids on the capital London. Although the Royal Air Force is constantly resisting, there are still many German bombers flying over London to drop bombs.

Whether intentional or not, Buckingham Palace has never been bombed.

Even so, members of the royal family were evacuated to the basement of the palace, in case of German air raids.

In this case, the king still chose to stay in London, no doubt for the sake of inspiration. During the day, when the king and queen appeared at the bombed site and directed the rescue, their images were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Until now, the hearts of London are still stable, they firmly believe that Britain will win the final victory.

However, at the top, everyone knows the risks involved.

"Germany is advancing too fast. Although the supplies from the United States are being transported, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to hold London before the arrival of the supplies." Under the electric lights in the dim basement, Churchill looked at George VI in front of him.

The smoke was lingering, and George VI was even a smoker. He almost never left his hand. After World War II, he did not live for a few years and died.

Now, the eyes of George VI, looking at Churchill, are full of complex emotions: "We, mobilized, the whole country, nearly half of the army, we, in the homeland, fighting, now, we, still, no hope , hold on, we, our capital?"

Half the army! If the expeditionary force hadn't been captured on French territory, Churchill could have patted his chest and said that he would definitely hold on, but he couldn't.

He really has no confidence. How powerful are those hastily summoned troops, while shouting to fight for the empire? To tell the truth, it is not as good as the colonial army!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope you can leave London temporarily and go to the northern cities to continue to be the leader of our country and lead our people to fight against resistance." Churchill said: "You are the spiritual pillar of our people, your security relationship major."

George VI's mood is mixed, he does not want to be the king of England.

Before the rank, his name was Albert, and in character, he was a very shy and shy person, and suffered from severe stuttering all his life.

Therefore, when he speaks, he will say the words one by one, which is not easy to express. If he speaks fast, the word will be repeated many times.

He was displeased when he learned that his brother, who succeeded Edward VIII in 1936, had finally decided to abdicate over marital problems and that he would inherit the throne. He was enthroned at Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937, and changed his name to George VI,

Who knows, after ascending the throne, the country will decline rapidly. At this time, he has no other choice but to stand up and lead the people's war of resistance throughout the country as a spiritual leader.

Although he stutters and is shy, he is also the one who will not give in on the issue of national sovereignty.

"I, won't, leave, London," said King George VI.

As a king, he must have dignity. In history, how many kings have guarded their castles. No matter how many years they were surrounded, they still lived and fought in the castle.

Leaving the seat of the royal family for hundreds of years and running to the north, what is this?

And, if the Germans captured London, what happened next? The Germans will continue to push north until they occupy the whole of Britain, so where should they go?

It is better to be a monarch who died in battle and stay in London all the time, and you can make yourself famous for the ages.

King George VI was very persistent.

"Your Majesty, as long as you are here, there is hope for our people." Churchill said, "You may not know that even France, which has surrendered now, has organized the Free France. In Chad and Cameroon, there has been a rebellion. , formally supporting Free France."

Free France? Colony in France?

Hearing this, George VI's heart rekindled hope, yes, even if the mainland fell, so what? Britain still has a vast colony. Even if she goes to the colony, she can continue to lead the people to fight against Germany. As long as she does not fall, she will continue to fight against Germany!

Choosing to die is the behavior of the weak. As the king of the United Kingdom, it is his true mission to drive away the Germans and restore the dignity of the United Kingdom!

After successfully talking about George VI, Churchill was relieved. No matter how good the propaganda was at the beginning, what should coexist with London, now, when it's time to go, he still has to go, and he has to go quickly!

"Your Majesty, pack up. Tonight, I will send you and your family out of London. You should go to Liverpool first, it is safer there." Churchill said.

Liverpool, in the middle of England, at the same time, leaned on the Irish Sea, and if the situation continued to deteriorate, it was also easy to send the king from there, leave the homeland, go to the colonies, and continue to organize the war of resistance.
