2285 Rainstorm

 Text Volume 2285 Heavy Rain When the Allied forces began to attack Tunisia, the death of Major Campbell continued to unfold.

Dr. Grant was a native of Portsmouth and his family lived in Manchester. After the news of Major Campbell's death spread back to England, Dr. Grant's behavior was controversial and his family was threatened by unknown forces.

In a war environment and at a time when nationalism is rampant, the relationship between Southern Africa and Britain is still so special. Not everyone is sensible. Winston has also been criticized and accused by some members of Congress because of his weakness towards Southern Africa.

Some members of Congress have very strange thinking that ordinary people cannot understand.

In their view, even though the balance of power between the British Empire and Southern Africa has undergone earth-shaking changes, the British Empire now relies more on Southern Africa to resist the threat of Germany

Southern Africa cannot be superior to the British Empire. It must give the British Empire enough respect and recognize Britain's suzerainty status over southern Africa.

Winston was helpless.

Some people are not unwilling to face reality, but are deliberately looking for trouble. If they were the prime minister, they would compromise more thoroughly than Winston.

It would be good if you don’t kneel down and lick it.

"Major Campbell's death was an accident. This is something none of us want to see. Professor Robert is certainly responsible, but Major Campbell has an even greater responsibility. Now that Major Campbell's death is irreversible, we can only try our best to compensate Major Campbell."

His family, the Ministry of War has decided to award Major Campbell the Order of the Empire." Winston took the initiative to go to Congress for questioning. The true cause of Major Campbell's death was blocked by the British government, and Campbell was portrayed as a hero of the British Empire.

This is outrageous.

But this is normal in a war situation. Even if Winston is reluctant, he will squeeze out the last remaining value of Major Campbell.

As for whether the facts are deliberately obscured.

It does not matter.

"Oh, since Major Campbell has greater responsibility, he should bear all the consequences related to it; since Dr. Grant is also responsible, he should also accept punishment. A doctor in the British army refused to accept the order from the British officer.

Under the command of doctors in southern Africa, we have reason to suspect that Dr. Grant has betrayed the Empire and he should be tried for treason!" Fuel and Power Minister Ge Weilin George, the youngest son of Lloyd George and a member of the Liberal Party, took action.

.

After Lloyd George resigned, he tried several times to regain his strength and put forward inflammatory slogans to run for office, but his efforts ended in failure.

In 1933, Lloyd George wrote "Memories of the Great War" and in 1936 published "The Truth About the Peace Treaty". After the outbreak of World War II, Winston invited Lloyd George to join the war cabinet and was

Lloyd George refused on health grounds.

Ge Weilin followed Lloyd George into the British political arena and was committed to restoring the influence of the Liberal Party in the British political arena. He and Air Force Minister Archibald Sinclair were both leaders of the Liberal Party, and clashed with Winston in Parliament many times.

"Mr. Minister, please don't get excited. The world is not as black and white as you think. Of course we can punish Dr. Grant, but we have to consider the consequences. This matter has come to an end. If it continues If things continue to ferment, the truth of the incident will be made public sooner or later, and we will face greater troubles by then." Winston explained patiently that Ge Weilin may not have understood, but was just using the topic to play on.

Winston's prestige in the UK is not high. The Conservatives don't like him, the Liberals don't like him either, and the Labor Party hates Winston. Winston is just a victim of Britain's withdrawal from the difficulties it faced.

No one expected that Winston could lead Britain to win the Battle of Britain and divert the disaster northward, shifting the battlefield to Russia, leaving Britain in the most advantageous position.

Now that the Russian battlefield has not yet decided the winner, some people in the UK can't wait to jump out and try to seize the fruits of victory. Even the smallest mistakes will be magnified infinitely.

"It is immoral to deceive the people. We should take the initiative to make the truth known to the public and let the people choose." Labor leader Clement Attlee also had ideas. He was not targeting Winston, but the entire aristocracy.

Anyone who knows the truth of the matter will look down upon Major Campbell's behavior.

Major Campbell was touted as a British national hero. Behind this incident was the encouragement of the entire British aristocracy. The British aristocracy needed a hero to prove the existence value of the entire aristocracy, so that they could enjoy the benefits brought by the aristocracy with peace of mind. privilege.

Attlee was a lawyer by training, participated in the First World War, and served as Deputy Prime Minister and President of the Privy Council in the war cabinet formed by Winston.

There are currently three important committees in the UK. The War Cabinet and the Defense Committee are both headed by Winston, with Attlee serving as deputy on these two committees; the final Privy Council Speaker's Committee is led by Attlee, and the first two committees are headed by Attlee. A committee is in charge of military and government affairs, and the Privy Council is in charge of civil affairs.

In the war cabinet, Attlee was Winston's staunchest supporter. During the war, cabinet members changed frequently, but Winston and Attlee were the only ones who never left.

However, Attlee and Winston had certain differences in their attitudes towards Russia.

Winston was a staunch anti-Russian. In order to make both Germany and Russia suffer, Winston strictly controlled the amount of aid to Russia, which caused Attlee's dissatisfaction.

Attlee hopes that the war can end as quickly as possible, and then the British government can focus more on restoring the economy and providing a better life for the British people. This is also the core proposition of the British Labor Party.

Unlike Macdonald, Attlee did not just shout slogans, he really wanted to benefit the British people.

The Daily Mail in another time and space once conducted a selection, and Attlee was considered by an undisputed advantage to be the greatest British Prime Minister after World War II.

Due to time constraints after World War II, Winston only ranked sixth.

"The opinions of the people are not necessarily correct. Our society has always moved forward under the leadership of the elite." Winston did not want to make it public. He is also a member of the British aristocracy.

"Ha, our Prime Minister actually thinks so. Do you dare to walk out of the Palace of Westminster and say this to the voters who support you?" Ge Weilin laughed, mocking Winston for his duplicity.

"I don't dare, but do you dare to stick to your words in the House of Lords?" Winston had to respond. The British House of Lords is dominated by nobles.

At this time, Winston's secretary hurried to Winston's side and handed a telegram to Winston.

Winston frowned after receiving the telegram. Just now, Dr. Grant's wife was attacked by an unknown person.

Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Britain began to implement a rationing system and limited the supply of daily necessities, including food.

An hour ago, Dr. Grant's wife was shamelessly attacked by a man in black while receiving food stamps. Mrs. Grant was hospitalized due to injuries. The Southern African Consul in Manchester immediately went to the hospital to visit Mrs. Grant.

Winston put the telegram in his hand and remained calm.

Like MPs, ordinary British people are equally polarized about southern Africa.

Don't have too many illusions about ordinary people.

All members of Congress have at least received a relatively good education. Even Labor members are not from real workers. They are only divided into different camps based on different interests.

Ordinary people in the UK do not have many opportunities to receive education, and they do not pay enough attention to education. There are still a large number of child laborers in factories. We cannot expect the British people to have a clear understanding of the current situation.

This is despite the continuous cultural export of southern Africa and the desperate brainwashing efforts of newspapers and media. There are still many British people who have a colonial mentality towards southern Africa.

Especially when seeing the glamorous southern Africans in movies, and then looking at Britain where food is rationed, many people's mentality is completely out of balance.

"Send someone to the hospital to protect Mrs. Grant," Winston whispered to his secretary.

The secretary took the order and left.

The exchange between Winston and his secretary attracted many people's attention.

"Everyone, I would like to remind you that if we continue to struggle on this matter, it will definitely affect our relationship with Southern Africa. If Southern Africa cuts off its aid to the United Kingdom, think about how tragic the situation will be.

"There are many supporters of Southern Africa in the British Parliament, and many British MPs are funded by capital from Southern Africa.

"This is the root of the problem. Even members of Congress are emotionally inclined to southern Africa, so Dr. Grant's behavior can be explained." Someone soon revealed the truth.

"If this matter affects the cooperation between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom, then our relationship will not be as good as imagined." Some people fanned the flames.

Amid the commotion, Attlee came to Winston and proactively asked: "What happened?"

Winston handed the telegram to Attlee.

Attlee also had a solemn expression after reading it.

"Who did this?" Attlee's first reaction was that someone was behind it.

"I don't know yet, the police are investigating." Winston frowned. If this matter spread, the impact would be equally bad.

Major Campbell shot and threatened doctors, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the vast majority of British doctors. The British Medical Association has publicly expressed its support for the actions of Professor Robert and Dr. Grant.

Now many people in the UK are paying attention to this matter to see how the British government handles it. If the news of Mrs. Grant's attack is spread at this time, the British government will encounter a new round of crisis of trust.

The people don't care about the British government's difficulties.

As long as the British government fails to obtain sufficient benefits from its relations with southern Africa, then it is an incompetent government.

Meaningless venting of emotions will not solve any problem. While Congress is in a quarrel, the matter continues to ferment.

"The Times" London headquarters, copy editor Maxwell, once again rejected the submission of freelance journalist Jefferson Kennan.

"Why can't it be published? You have to give me a reason?" Kennan was very dissatisfied. His manuscript was carefully revised. Although on the surface it did not contain any offensive remarks against the British government and the federal government of Southern Africa, it was actually very instructive.

"Mr. Kennan, your manuscript does not meet our requirements. Even if I agree, the editor-in-chief will not agree, let alone pass the review of the News Department." Maxwell smiled, seemingly natural and friendly, but in fact he was distant.

After the outbreak of the World War, the United Kingdom set up a Department of Information modeled after southern Africa, which reviewed all newspapers and magazines in advance. If they did not pass the review, they could not be published. The Times was no exception.

"Can you tell me specifically what the problem is? I don't think there is any problem with my manuscript." Kennan insisted that the remuneration of "The Times" is very generous and its influence is very large. Relatively speaking, Kennan is more

Pay attention to the second point.

"If you insist on thinking so, then I recommend you go out and turn right to try your luck." Maxwell was impatient. He had to receive many writers every day, and the "Times" never lacked news.

There are dozens of newspapers and magazines on this news street. Maybe there will be an editor from a certain newspaper who wants to make a big news and give Kennan a chance.

"It's so disappointing. The Times has lost its impartial and strict stance. You are not worthy of becoming the largest newspaper in the UK and have been completely controlled by southern African capital." Kennan spoke impulsively.

After leaving the Times, Kennan went to the United Daily News, which was known for its sharp rhetoric.

"United Daily News" is a newspaper that was founded last year. Its first issue made an in-depth report on the relationship experience of the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson, which made it famous.

"Mr. Kennan, I read your article. It's very good, but it's in the wrong direction." Nelson, the editor of "United Daily News", is very tempting. He is seeking death by attacking the federal government of Southern Africa. Only by targeting the British government can he inspire readers.

enthusiasm.

It was because of its attacks on Southern African leaders that The Times incurred retaliation from the Southern African consortium. It was eventually acquired as a whole and became the mouthpiece of Southern African capital.

Having learned from the mistakes of The Times, United Daily News will definitely not make the same mistake again.

In today's Britain, scolding the British government will resonate with all British people. Not only will scolding Southern Africans bring no benefits, but it will also lead to retaliation from the Southern African consortium, which is not cost-effective.

"I'm not trying to attack anyone, I'm just discussing the matter." Kennan spoke plausibly and his position was clear. Someone has to speak up.

"Come on Mr. Kennan, you can do whatever you want. I don't want to cause trouble for myself." Nelson sneered. Fairness and strictness didn't exist at all.

When Kennan walked out of the United Daily News, the sunshine over London had disappeared, rain clouds were accumulating, the sky was dark, the wind was getting stronger, and a heavy rain was brewing.
