Chapter 949 D-Day (11,900 Votes Plus Additional Content)

The long line of congressmen were escorted out one by one and boarded the trucks that had been prepared. Only then did Marshal Brooke and others see a company of troops he had prepared in the corner - other members of Task Force 101 who had been infiltrated in advance. Live, even the weapons were confiscated.

"Trash!" Pound cursed angrily. He didn't know whether he was scolding the group of action members or Marshal Brooke who arranged the operation.

When Admiral Porter walked past Churchill, he took advantage of others not paying attention and shouted in a low voice: "Winston, you are playing with fire and burning yourself! You will mess everything up if you do this!"

I thought the other party would look ashamed, but Churchill's face darkened and he scolded: "Childish! What do you know? The British Empire is ruined because of you guys who fail to succeed and fail!"

After Major Effler led the troops to escort everyone to the car, he whispered to Jonathan Churchill, who was codenamed "Spider" and had never shown his face: "The first step has been successful. What should we do next? Go directly to the airport?"

Jonathan nodded: "First put the Prime Minister's family and some important personnel on the plane, and then carry out the rest as planned."

"How do we go? British troops should be in action."

"It doesn't matter, I have a way, follow my instructions." Jonathan led the convoy in three turns and two turns, greatly deviating from the "escape" route originally planned by Marshal Brooke and others, until they encountered a guard box.

"This is my ID." Jonathan took out the MI5 ID from his pocket - these are real guys, and they also include the highest-level pass. "Now I am performing a special mission."

The other party repeatedly verified that the documents were correct, and finally asked: "There is a special password today, did you know?"

"Know."

"Great Britain!"

"Dominion of Canada!"

"That's right, have a nice trip."

The convoy immediately left the post at a lightning speed. Although the lieutenant on duty felt that something was wrong, everything seemed to be flawless. He rubbed his head and thought that he was overthinking it. After 2 minutes, he couldn't laugh anymore. The phone rang rapidly, and the inquiry call finally came to him. He learned that just after the "coup" convoy left, Mills, the commander of the Second Army of the British Army in charge of counterinsurgency- Lieutenant General Dempsey put down the phone and said to Attlee: "Sir, they did not follow the planned route, but left through other entrances. The troops we were responsible for following were confiscated by them and imprisoned in the Capitol."

According to the original arrangement, Attlee, Eden and others did not attend the Cabinet Confidence Question, but were "counterinsurgency" on the outside. They had just received the signal from the meeting and originally started to "counterinsurgency" according to the script. , but no follow-up signal was sent out. Only after Dempsey sent someone to check the situation did he realize that it had turned out like this. He immediately anxiously notified each checkpoint to be responsible for intercepting. Unexpectedly, the action was still too slow, allowing the convoy to get out. It's dark now, where can I find the shadow of the convoy?

"Damn it! Winston tricked us!"

"What now?"

"They must go to His Majesty."

Dempsey immediately said: "Then I will immediately lead troops to surround..."

"No!" Attlee waved his hand and thought for a moment, "If he is really there, don't disturb them and let His Majesty go!"

Dempsey was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Churchill had troops on hand now. It would be bad if the royal family was accidentally injured in the crossfire, so he immediately changed his words: "Okay."

"Send a telegram to Black Cat and invite him to return to China as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation." Attlee gradually calmed down from the initial panic. He was scheduled to take over as the next prime minister. He must have the ability to independently control the overall situation and properly handle emergencies. "I don't know what Winston is doing, but he can't fight us with the power he has. The British Empire has 3 million troops and the US military only has 100,000. Inform the troops stationed in various places to surround the US military camps and ask them to hand over their weapons. But don't open fire, I can't let this turn into a civil war."

“Do Americans need to be imprisoned?”

"No need for the time being, just let them stay in the camp."

Aiden thought about it for a long time: "Should I send a message to Berlin?"

"Not yet." Attlee refused firmly.

Aiden immediately understood: Letting Germany intervene now would certainly bring in German power, but it might also complicate the situation - what would those officers and soldiers who were fighting Germany not long ago think? Once we ask Berlin for help, it means that we cannot control the situation and will inevitably be looked down upon by the Germans in the future. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Attlee was right. After the 101st Special Service Team succeeded, the 2nd Division of the U.S. Army led the troops directly to Buckingham Palace, and then ran into the trembling family of George VI. Although the king himself was scared to death, he still pretended He calmly comforted his two daughters.

Princess Elizabeth was now 18 years old. As an adult and as heir to the throne, she could calmly view unexpected changes. Four years ago, she made her first radio speech on behalf of the royal family, addressing all children who were evacuated and hoping that they would Be able to pay attention to safety. She knew that something must have happened when her father suddenly brought her and her sister Margaret back to London from their refuge in Balmoral, Scotland some time ago, but she never expected that it would be such a scene - she was still planning to join the field rescue nurse Class training matters.

Buckingham Palace's defense force is not strong. How can a few royal guards resist the fully equipped U.S. army? They scolded the American soldiers desperately, but it had no effect. The Americans themselves felt quite embarrassed, so they simply stayed out of sight and out of mind after disarming the guards. Finally, at around 9 o'clock in the evening, they waited until Churchill led the troops. People arrive at Buckingham Palace.

Churchill took a step forward and said with a pun: "Your Majesty, the wind has picked up, let's go."

"Winston, has things really come to this?"

"Yes...it's irreversible." Churchill smiled bitterly, "The Dominion of Canada cannot live without you."

"What about the tens of millions of local people?"

"Them?" Churchill shrugged. "They will soon have a new Majesty, a new Prime Minister, and will usher in a new life... Everyone thinks they will be stronger than before, although I don't think so."

"Okay." George VI sighed, "I'll go with you."

"Father, I don't want to leave, this fat man is a bad guy!" Princess Margaret suddenly broke away from her sister's embrace, pointed at Churchill's nose and cursed, "Every time he comes to the palace, he does bad things! This time he wants to You can’t be fooled into trying to lure you to Canada.”

Being pointed at and scolded by a princess who was younger than his granddaughter, Churchill was helpless, but he couldn't argue: "Your Highness, I..."

"Okay, okay, don't be willful. Don't meddle in adults' affairs." George VI usually doted on his younger daughter, but now he couldn't say more in the heat of the moment. "You and your sister go and pack your things." Bar."

"Sister, please say something...tell my father that they are lying to him." Margaret's face was full of tears and she asked Elizabeth for help.

"Mr. Prime Minister, is this good for the British Empire?" Elizabeth asked in a mature tone that did not match her age.

"Your Highness, I am doing this for this country and for the glory of the royal family."

"Including running away to Canada in despair?"

"This is a necessary strategy."

"A king leaves his country and his people behind, does he still have a future?"

"One day I will come back. If I can't come back, Your Majesty can't come back, you can come back!"

"Do you believe this yourself?"

"I've always believed it."

Seeing that the dignified prime minister was still bickering with his two daughters, King George VI stamped his feet anxiously: "Winston, I know, why don't I just go with you?"

"Have you brought everything?"

"I have sorted out some personal belongings and left the rest to my brother, just like he left it to me..." George VI seemed disinterested. "To be honest, if it were not for the British Empire, I would rather stay in London and be a civilian." People, I believe that my brother will not make things difficult for me."

Churchill shed tears and said: "Your Majesty, I want to do this too, but the lofty mission we shoulder forces us to do this. There is no other choice."

"Let's go..."

At 11 o'clock in the night, Attlee received intelligence: the royal family had been "hijacked" by the US military and headed for the airport. Someone asked whether to intercept it, but Attlee vetoed it. Letting the royal family go to Canada was a pre-arranged drama, and it is still generally following the script. Everyone couldn't understand again. Why did Churchill want to break the previous tacit understanding?

"No interception is allowed, let alone firing. Your Majesty can go wherever he wants."

"Now that all the MPs are in Churchill's hands, what if he takes them with him?"

Attlee's face twitched: Taking away all the MPs would be a troublesome matter, which means that the local constitutional tradition is broken. This is undoubtedly equivalent to the collapse of the sky for British society that regards constitutionalism as life.

He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Then don't act rashly. If there are no members, the worst thing is to hold a new election and select another batch."

"Choose another batch?"

A thought came to everyone, the world has gone crazy - by then Great Britain will have two kings, two prime ministers, and two parliaments?

"Prime Minister, other troops have protected the nobles and headed towards the airport." Jonathan asked, "Are you going to the airport? The first batch of planes took off at 2 a.m., a total of 24; the second batch of planes took off at 5 a.m., a total of 36; the third batch took off at 8 o'clock in the morning, a total of 12. The last batch is more dangerous and may be intercepted by the Germans."

"Wait a minute, let's go to Liverpool."

Jonathan was shocked: "This is too dangerous, I just go."

"You can't go alone, you can't suppress them." Churchill shook his head, "Keep all the MPs at the airport as hostages to prevent Attlee from leading troops to attack the airport. If necessary, you can kill a few demonstrators at random. Don't be merciful. Don't be merciful. No big deal!"

Under nightfall, the convoy slowly split into two groups, one headed towards the airport, and the other turned around and headed towards Liverpool...
