Chapter 817 Smell the Crisis

Cairo, straddling the Nile River, is majestic and magnificent. It is the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of the entire Middle East. This ancient city has now become the focus of the world's attention.

The hot climate makes people feel quite uncomfortable, but after all, it is many times better than the submarine, so that Queen Elizabeth has been breathing, breathing, as if to expel the lingering diesel in her lungs. Same taste.

In a car, Churchill and George VI are negotiating.

"General Wavell disappeared in the Battle of Tobrugg, so now we have appointed General Auchinleck to replace him as the commander-in-chief of the British Central Army. At the same time, we have sent General Montgomery with a tank force to come to support, Now General Montgomery is the commander of the main Eighth Army," Churchill analyzed.

Auchinleck was personally appointed by Churchill, and Montgomery led the most powerful British army, so now, their safety should be no problem.

While speaking, the convoy had entered the urban area of ​​Cairo, and in a modern building in the center of the city was the British Army Headquarters.

Claude John Auchinleck was born in Aldershot, England in 1884. At the age of 12, he entered the famous Wellington College in the United Kingdom. In January 1902, he was admitted to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. After graduating in December of the same year, he went to India to serve.

After that, Auchinleck's life experience was mainly spent in India. He participated in World War I and served as the commander-in-chief of India before serving as the commander-in-chief of the Middle East.

He was a tall general with a burly stature, and now his rank has become a general, promoted by Churchill.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Prime Minister." Auchinleck greeted them at the door: "You have worked hard all the way."

The queen has already taken her two daughters to the residence, and they now need to take a comfortable bath and then have a good night's sleep.

"General Auchinleck, the situation in Britain is not optimistic now." Churchill said: "At this critical moment, it is a moment when you can see people's hearts. Your loyalty to the empire will be written in history."

Churchill can only use this kind of national righteousness to make clichés now. It has fallen here, and is still waiting to use the army from the Middle East to counterattack back to the British mainland.

Hearing this, the expression on Auchinleck's face was quite intriguing.

Churchill's heart skipped a beat, he didn't want the worst to happen.

"Here we are, a banquet has been held to welcome the safe escape of the King and Prime Minister," Auchinleck continued.

Turning their eyes, they walked into the banquet hall, where countless fine wines were already waiting for them.

A famous general present was paying tribute to them. Churchill glanced around and asked nonchalantly, "Why didn't you see General Montgomery?"

"General Montgomery was in El Alamein, ready to fend off Rommel's attack, so he didn't come this time," Auchinleck said.

Hearing this, Churchill felt his eyelids twitching wildly. He had realized that a huge crisis was appearing in front of him, and he had overestimated the loyalty of the general in front of him!

They are loyal to the British royal family, and not only George VI alone. Now, the one in London is, after all, a genuine member of the British royal family. In terms of seniority, it is even older than George VI!

How to do? Churchill's mind was thinking rapidly, now, it is very difficult to leave Cairo, where they are unfamiliar, and there are not many reliable people, and Montgomery is still far away, crossing a long distance. In the desert to find Montgomery, it is even more difficult than taking a submarine, or you will die of starvation and thirst in the desert.

"I want to say a few words first," Churchill said, striding up to the front stage.

"Everyone, I am very happy to be able to see you in Cairo. As long as you are here, the United Kingdom will never be destroyed. As an empire on which the sun never sets, we will never surrender or compromise with Germany!"

Churchill tried his best to suppress his voice, making him look even lower: "Now, our situation is not optimistic, our homeland has fallen, and, in our royal family, there have been traitors, Edward VIII for the sake of Satisfying that biao son's attempt to become a queen, he actually cooperated with the Germans and sold England to Germany!"

Sure enough, when Churchill said this, he saw a pair of angry eyes from below. It seems that the situation is not as bad as he thought!

As long as there are some loyal people among the following people, myself and the king, they will not be reduced to the point of being kidnapped and sent back to England. The people here are still proud of the British people!

Churchill subtly mobilized the atmosphere of the people below. Originally, the former king married a woman who had been divorced twice, and there was already a stir in the country, and everyone knew it. Now, Churchill reset Edward VIII, saying Success is the ambition of this woman, and of course it is more likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of the people.

"If there was no betrayal by Edward VIII, the domestic situation would not have been so bad." Churchill said: "Yes, we are now facing the most dangerous situation, our homeland has fallen, and we have only colonies left, but , we definitely did not lose!"

"Our colonies account for a quarter of the world's area, and our population is close to 400 million! Although we have lost our local industry, behind us is the United States, which is equally unwilling to see Europe fall to the German iron shoe! We Don't worry about any weapon supplies and backups!" Churchill said: "Although Germany is aggressive now, Germany's defeat is doomed! From ancient times to the present, our British Empire has never been defeated by a country!"

What Churchill said is indeed true. The mainland is a small place, and the colony is still very large, so they are definitely not a bad card in their hands.

Although there is no local industry, there is the United States behind it!

"I am very sad to see that under the threat of the Germans, many traitors have appeared in our country. This is our shame, and at the same time, it is also a new opportunity for us." Churchill continued: "When When this war is over, the old Britain will disappear and a new Britain will be born again!"

"Everyone present is a hero to restore Britain!" Churchill said: "I can't guarantee that everyone will survive the war, but I can guarantee that everyone who survives will become a noble of the new empire. All will gain more status and wealth!"

"In the process of building and dying a country will be accompanied by the transfer of huge wealth. As long as we use our blood and loyalty, we can bring supreme glory to ourselves, our family, and the whole family!" Churchill He continued: "Should I surrender to Germany and be a puppet of the Germans, or be the founder of a new empire, a hero and aristocrat admired by all people? I believe that everyone present can make the right choice!"
