Chapter 818 Secret Visitor

Now that Britain has fallen, those who obeyed Edward VIII are all traitors to the United Kingdom. As long as the counterattack goes back, then these people will be sentenced!

Many of them are nobles, that is to say, when this war is over, a large number of ancient nobles will disappear in Britain, and at the same time, new nobles will be born!

Just look at the history of England. How did the aristocracy come into being? Almost most of them appeared in the army and made military exploits for the United Kingdom before they were named nobles.

Therefore, many people present will be named nobles, with hereditary titles, their families will also enjoy the glory, and at the same time, they will also gain more wealth.

There is almost no doubt that the assets of the overthrown aristocracy became, of course, the new aristocracy.

In this case, everyone's future looks good. Of course, the premise is that they can survive the war. Churchill put forward this premise, but deliberately left out the other one. Then they have to win the battle. .

Churchill succeeded in arousing everyone's confidence, and there was a kind of eagerness in everyone's eyes.

When Churchill's speech was over, George VI followed, and continued to agitate in the words he had become fluent.

"I, King George VI, swear by the King of England, the sole king of the Windsor family, that all those who are loyal to me, who will restore the English rivers and mountains and drive away the German invaders as their goal, will receive their due rewards. People, after the war, will be named nobles, and the existing nobles will be promoted."

King George VI raised his right hand. For several years, he has had the style of a king. After these words, the eyes of those present have become serious.

They also raised their right hands: "We will unite around the king and shed every drop of our blood to defeat the Germans and restore the rivers and mountains!"

Auchinleck also raised his right hand and said the same thing, but his eyes were always turning, showing that his inner activities at this time were also very contradictory.

Churchill came down and patted Auchinleck on the shoulder: "Auchinleck, now, I officially promote you to the Secretary of Defense of the United Kingdom, responsible for all the colonial armies! At the same time, promote your rank to marshal."

Churchill's words made Auchinlake suddenly stunned, Secretary of Defense? This is simply a few levels up!

Moreover, the rank was promoted to marshal! For all soldiers, the marshal is an unattainable height, and now, it is close at hand.

"Thank you for the promotion of the Prime Minister." Auchinleck said, at this time, he was grateful from the heart.

Although Churchill's resume is not good, for example, he has never won a battle, but over the years, when it comes to playing with power and penetrating people's hearts, Churchill is definitely a good player.

He had succeeded in capturing Auchinleck's heart.

Just a few hours ago, Auchinleck had just met with a mysterious visitor who told him that General Hobart wanted him to lead the army in Egypt and allegiance to Edward VIII!

Auchinleck was in a dilemma with General Hobart's proposal. Logically speaking, he was also unwilling to surrender to Germany. However, generally speaking, the kings in London were the objects of their allegiance, especially King George VI. , has disappeared.

Moreover, the visitor told him that once George VI came to Egypt, he hoped that he could control George VI and escort him back to England. In this case, even if Auchinleck made a great contribution, he was promoted to rank, that is for sure.

And now that Churchill has elevated his office to the top, Secretary of State for Defence, what could be bigger than that? That is the Prime Minister.

On Edward VIII's side, this position belongs to Hobart, and it is definitely not his turn.

Churchill was finally relieved. This is a typical rise and fall. He was promoted to Secretary of Defense, but it was a vacant post. In this way, Montgomery was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the British Army in the Middle East. This has real power!

He never doubted Montgomery's loyalty. At that time, Montgomery would rather jump into the river with his troops and swim across the English Channel than surrender to Germany. This shows that he hated Germany. It is absolutely impossible for him to obey the Germans and Edward VIII.

After the speech, the banquet began. George VI held a cup and clinked with everyone cordially. The following people were extremely moved. Now let them go to the battlefield to die, and they will have nothing to say.

The banquet went on for more than three hours, and everyone was drunk before it was over.

Auchinleck also drank a few more drinks, and some of them went up. He returned to his room in a daze, and saw the man sitting on the sofa. He was shocked and all the alcohol was awake.

"John, you haven't left yet?" asked Auchinleck. The man sitting on the sofa was the secret visitor Hobert sent to lobby him!

"General Auchinleck, are you expecting me to leave early so that I can serve King George VI?" John spoke slowly, but his tone was cold: "If this is the case, then you are really wrong, follow George VI. Now, with the end of the British war, Germany will definitely mobilize the main force into the desert. If Rommel has five armored divisions, it will be enough to sweep the entire Middle East!"

John seemed to know everything, and it was very simple. In fact, it was enough to buy a maid who had just served wine at the banquet.

Auchinleck's mind was spinning rapidly, filtering out Churchill's words just now, and sure enough, he also found this problem.

The main force of the Germans is fighting against the United Kingdom. What will Germany do when the British mainland is resolved? The main force will definitely be transferred to the Middle East, because there is George VI here!

They couldn't stop the German attack at all, and everything Churchill promised was just a dream!

"General Hobert is wise. He has seen the situation in Europe. Over the years, how many monarchs have hoped to unify Europe. Now, Germany has done it." John said: "This is the trend of history, whoever hinders, whoever will be crushed by the wheels of history."

"Now, you still have a chance, please arrest George VI, Churchill and others immediately, so that you are still a hero of Britain." John said: "Your future is in your hands, and I will give you two Hours, if you don't do it, it's up to me to solve it."

John stood up, walked out, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that your wife and children in India are all safe now."

In an instant, Auchinleck's face turned pale, damn, the other party dared to threaten him with his wife and children!
