Chapter 850 The British Empire (Part 2)

"Gentlemen, let me share my thoughts on the current situation..." Churchill glanced at everyone and said with self-mockery, "I know many people are waiting for me to resign, and some people are eager to kill me tomorrow. After the people's voices and protests started, they would pour dirty water on me, as if I led the British Empire to defeat. You don't even think about it, who allowed Hitler to rearm? Who agreed to Hitler's entry into the Rhineland? Who acquiesced to the Third Reich's annexation of Austria? Who went to Germany to sign the contract to sell out Czechoslovakia and at the same time show off "Peace for a Generation"? It was me, Winston Churchill? What? If you had stopped the Germans in any of the above-mentioned aspects, you would have had so many troubles! Just like you set the house on fire and called the police only after the fire spread, but in the end you blamed the rescue firefighters for not working hard? "

Everyone was silent. Although Churchill was used to speaking forcefully, these words were indeed correct. There was only one word in everyone's mind: regret! Of course, some people expressed their disdain for Churchill's behavior of scolding Chamberlain behind his back - Why did you go there earlier?

"I actually know that you have contacted the Germans through various means and channels. I even know what you talked about. Without me pretending not to know anything, how could you have talked so freely, so happily, and so peacefully? ? Without me leading tens of millions of British people to resist desperately and shamelessly going to the United States to beg for help, would the Germans have taken you seriously? Is there any chance to negotiate terms with them now?" Churchill scolded everyone with a serious face, "If we really pursue the case, we can all be arrested and sent to prison. Did you ever think about you when you called me an American bastard? Yourself? Aren't you a full-fledged German spy? I did the hard work, the tiring work, the dirty work, and the scolding all by myself. Now that the situation is unfavorable, you are planning to liquidate me. What a fucking gentleman. Is there anything you can do?"

Everyone shrank their heads, but it was still scary when Fatty Qiu started to rage.

“Today I want to make my words clear to you, so that we don’t misjudge the situation and have a bad relationship with each other, which would be detrimental to the future of the British Empire:

First, I, Winston Churchill, will never surrender. If you want me to take the lead in surrendering to the Germans, and if you want the descendants of the noble Duke Barborough to surrender to the Austrian bastard, don’t even think about it. At worst, I will take it with you. The king and the government went to Canada. I will explain why they went to Canada in a moment;

Second, in the current situation, the Germans may land in the blink of an eye. Even if you want to negotiate or surrender, you have to wait until they are defeated and landed. Once the alliance under the city is signed, the situation will be passive. Who dares to fully expect Hitler to abide by the agreement? Anyway, I have never seen him keep his promise. Can you tell me which agreement Hitler finally abided by?

Third, I have asked the United States for help through official channels and asked the United States to send fleet support. The Americans did come. You might as well wait for two days and see the results. What if the Germans are repelled? To be honest, Great Britain has been ups and downs for hundreds of years. I never thought that Hitler could force us to surrender with just a few planes, rockets or blockades. The last time Great Britain was conquered dates back to the Norman Conquest, which at least was We need to send troops to land. If possible, the Germans can bring the armored divisions up first.

Fourth, the conditions offered by the Germans are indeed much more favorable than those of the French, but compared with the strength and dignity of the British Empire and the world status of the British Empire, such conditions can only be said to be better than nothing, just like a noble family with a middle-class family. In the end, the prodigal son was still complacent and left some leftovers. Where is the glory of his ancestors? What about the history and traditions of Great Britain? You must understand that the family fortune of Great Britain was not earned by you or me. It was saved bit by bit starting from the defeat of the Armada and the defeat of Napoleon. It is very easy for people to sign the peace conditions today and hand it over. In the future, history will write a colorful chapter. Pen——You don’t even want your own posthumous name? "

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to respond to these sentences. The Prime Minister's eloquence was still good, and these sentences were considered reasonable and well-founded. After a long silence, veteran Aiden said: "None of us want to surrender. The problem now is that the situation is like this and it is difficult to hold on any longer. I heard that the United States is also negotiating conditions with the Germans, and one of the conditions is to abandon us In exchange for Hitler giving up Japan, many things cannot be delayed indefinitely... Moreover, the German offensive is so fierce today, and tomorrow the people's voice will make some people in the party make noise again, so..."

Churchill sneered: "A bunch of rabble, what are you afraid of? What are the Martial Law and the Suppression of Espionage Act used in extraordinary times? What are the millions of troops and machine guns used for? It's not like I haven't done anything to suppress them. , You dare not spill your blood, I dare! As for those weaklings in the party, what do you care about them? It’s not like I have never quit the Conservative Party! When will the British Empire need to listen to the opinions of these idiots?"

Everyone was shocked. Is the Prime Minister going to become a dictator? Thinking of Fatty Qiu's consistent power, everyone felt a chill on the back of their necks.

"Let me talk about the Americans again. Yes, the Americans do have the idea of ​​​​leaving us behind to make peace with the Germans alone, but you must understand that the Americans can make peace with the Germans but cannot make peace with the Japanese. If Hitler had some foresight, he would not have given up on Japan easily, so the Americans would not be able to make peace with them for a while. In addition, the Germans also occupied the Falkland Islands and controlled a small half of South America through the Peron regime. This is Can he give up? Hitler is now supporting his younger brother everywhere and trying to piece together the European Union. If he dares to give up even one of them, the Germans will not let go unless they have to.

Therefore, it is impossible to quickly resolve the contradiction between virtues! Do you think Wallace was an accident? This was obviously released by Roosevelt to test the Germans, but the price gap between the two sides was too big for the Germans to be fooled... I bet you that Joseph Kennedy, who came to us two days ago to fly back home, was Roosevelt's secret envoy. Since Roosevelt and Hitler did not reach an agreement, Americans did not dare to give up on us at will, so Wallace had the only option of "suicide in fear of crime", and then Truman came to London to visit. Gentlemen, this is just politics. Is it just a show for who to see? Why don't you show it to me? "

In fact, when Churchill proposed convening an emergency meeting, part of him intended to use the meeting to discuss the specific conditions. But now that Churchill had talked about it, the idea that everyone just mentioned disappeared in the blink of an eye. The compromise faction and the resolute resistance faction are both minority groups in the UK. The resistance faction represented by Churchill hopes to unite the United States to achieve final victory, while the compromise faction represented by Edward VIII wants to replace both George VI and Churchill. Peace talks with Germany, but the neutralists (ambiguous factions) are the majority. This group of wallflowers sometimes favors the resistance faction, sometimes favors the compromise faction, and is full of indecision.

"Now I can explain to you that I hope to take His Majesty and the government to Canada." The explosion outside had subsided. Churchill lit a cigar, took a few deep puffs and said, "I am not afraid of death. I want to avoid going to Canada because I want to ask you, do you think the Germans will win?"

Look at me, everyone, and I look at you, with confused expressions: With the Germans’ current attitude, can they still win?

"The Germans have a great advantage. I admit that this advantage is greater than I thought. If I had known that Germany had such a great advantage before the war started, I would never have fought the Germans, but I want to tell you. , the Germans may not win yet. Germany has an endless stream of new weapons, so what if the Americans are developing powerful and destructive weapons? What if the situation changes in the future? What should you do?" Churchill raised his voice and said, "I have dealt with Roosevelt and Truman. These are ruthless people. Their political skills are not inferior to Hitler. You are too far behind them. Such people. Can you simply say the word "?"

Everyone shook their heads slowly. Everyone believed that even if the United States was not in danger on its homeland, the most it could achieve was a decent peace.

"I went to Canada to save Canada for Great Britain, and to prepare for a possible reversal of the war situation in the future." Churchill took two strong puffs on his cigar. Through the smoke, everyone could only see the bright and dark cigarette butts, but not the Prime Minister. With a gloomy expression, "There will be two Great Britains in the future, one in the British Isles and one in Canada - if the Germans win, Edward VIII will be the orthodoxy; if the Americans win, George VI will be the orthodoxy, do you understand?" ! ? When all the old guys like Roosevelt and Hitler are dead and the world situation stabilizes, Great Britain will be reunited, do you understand?

"If you still don't understand, you might as well look at De Gaulle and Free France. Although Peitian shouted at De Gaulle every day, have you seen any substantive actions on his part? Did he send agents to assassinate him? No! Think about it, why did Pétain keep de Gaulle? Isn't he worried that one day the Americans will turn around and let de Gaulle take over France..." Churchill said sadly, "I hope everyone will think carefully about what is wrong with Great Britain when they go back. It’s in the best interest of the Empire! Dismiss the meeting now! Let’s go separate ways to rescue the people. Let the people of London see that we are with them at this critical moment!”

As soon as everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Churchill added unexpectedly: "I forgot to tell you that I made an agreement with the Americans that Spruance's fleet is going to Australia, and I asked him to take the two natives of South Africa with him. Division and related materials were brought to India to land in India and provide some support to Mountbatten. Now the Japanese fleet is blocked in the central Pacific, the German fleet is in the North Sea, and the Indian Ocean is empty..."
