London, England, on October 18, 1939, was destined to be anything but peaceful.
"Chamberlain's appeasement, connivance, and concessions have brought shame to the British Empire. If this continues, the prestige established by the British Empire over the past hundreds of years will be lost!" The leading congressman said indignantly: "Chamberlain
It's time for him to step down, and if he still has any sense of shame, he should submit his resignation to the king immediately!"
The defeat of Poland greatly shocked the British political arena.
Poland, the fifth most powerful country in Europe, which was originally regarded as the best chess piece on the continent by Britain, fell into ruin in just one month. Such an unexpected outcome of the war was like a high-voltage bomb, causing great shock to all walks of life in Britain.
The British people, who had been immersed in the dream of a superpower, suddenly woke up from the news of Poland's subjugation. They finally discovered that war was actually so close to them!
There is no shortage of insightful people in any country, let alone the most powerful British Empire in the world.
These British elites who were originally blinded by Chamberlain's appeasement theory realized how terrible Germany is now from the tragedy of Poland. If they still want to do what they did before, they imagine that Germany is under the firm control of Britain, and even let Germany continue to
Destroy the British Empire's smaller allies.
In the near future, when Britain needs allies, perhaps all of them will be dead. By then, the British Empire will be alone, facing the German beast that it has indulged and raised.
The British civil society, political circles, and military circles began to reflect one after another. When Poland was fighting hard, what did we do when we promised to rescue them?!
In the end, people were surprised to find that except for a meaningless symbolic Saar attack, the support provided by the majestic British Empire, whether it was material or weapons assistance, was actually so insignificant!
"Chamberlain is not worthy of being our leader, and nothing he has done is worthy of the position of Prime Minister of the British Empire! Only Mr. Churchill, who took the lead in criticizing the appeasement policy against all opinions, is the real leader who can lead us to victory.
!" An old congressman thought of Churchill, who had just entered the war cabinet a few days ago because of his anti-German ideas.
When the appeasement policy reached its peak, Churchill ended his speech against appeasement amidst boos, and thus lost his position as Lord of the Admiralty.
But as the situation developed exactly as Churchill had originally predicted, the British people began to regret it. So Churchill changed his identity and returned to the position of Lord of the Admiralty, becoming a representative figure of the British war faction in one fell swoop.
There are even rumors that Germany has Reinhardt, a master of prediction, and Britain also has Churchill, a super prophet. Since the Germans can trust Reinhardt and achieve today's brilliant achievements, Britain should also learn to rely on Churchill.
The "Reinhardt of the British Empire".
Although this British visionary looks a little fatter than other German heads of state, he always gives people the first impression of a fat man. But it is not his fault that he is potbellied!
What does the old saying from the East say? A belly full of knowledge, a belly full of talent, a belly full of wisdom.
"To be honest, the Germans have good taste." Churchill, who was being harassed by a group of main battle generals, took the coffee brought by a naval colonel and sighed with emotion to these officers who supported him: "I
I have known this person a long time ago, and just by looking at his ruthless determination to spare the entire German Western Front garrison to blitz Poland, you can tell that this person is definitely not a simple person!"
After taking a sip of coffee, he continued slowly: "No matter what means he used, he was able to combine the armies originally belonging to Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary to the present level, which is enough to make the German people proud of him.
Already."
Churchill has always paid considerable attention to Reinhardt's amazing growth.
When Reinhard first became famous, his performance was not as calm and profound as it is now. If it weren't for the fact that he publicly insulted the famous British general at the time, David Beatty, who was the former British Lord of the Admiralty, Churchill at that time
You won't even be able to pay any attention to the nature of this little person.
As a member of a defeated country, provoking the famous general of the most powerful country in the world is simply an act of stupidity.
But it was precisely from this accident that Churchill gradually discovered that Reinhardt, who seemed immature at the time, seemed to have some incredible luck and stood in the most favorable position for him at the same time time and time again.
Then, after more than ten years of hard work, Reinhardt's talents not only did not fade, but became even sharper. From sergeant to head of state, it took him ten years to complete what others would never complete in a lifetime.
He found a way. But he walked as steadily as a mountain and was impeccable!
Years of observation have allowed Churchill to have a very thorough understanding of this future imaginary enemy. The opponent can always make the most of certain small favorable factors and is very good at predicting the development direction of the situation.
To be fair, if the chips were equal, Churchill would never be Reinhardt's opponent.
"It's a pity..." In the middle of his words of praise, Churchill suddenly changed the subject and sneered: "Germany's geographical location is too poor and its foundation is weak. No matter how outstanding the German head of state's personal talent is,
There is no way to turn things around in this harsh external environment. As long as we, the British Empire, intervene strongly and hold back Italy with appeasing means, and at the same time unite with the French army, which has always been the hegemon in Europe, Germany alone will never be able to defeat us.
opponent!"
Churchill's self-confidence was not Mussolini's self-deceptive bragging, but a reasonable conclusion reached after careful consideration and repeated reasoning.
Most of France's Maginot Line has been completed, which means that if the German army wants to attack France frontally in the future, it will inevitably have to break out into a tough battle with the French defenders who are ready to go.
Once the Germans choose to attack the Maginot Line, they can basically declare defeat.
The French's military strength is not inferior to that of the German army. Coupled with the 10 divisions of elite expeditionary forces that the British have shipped to the French mainland, their combat effectiveness on paper is even slightly better than that of the German side.
Churchill could not guarantee the strength of the French. However, the 10 divisions of the British Expeditionary Force had sufficient transportation equipment to ensure mobility and a large proportion of professional soldiers to ensure combat quality.
In addition, the Germans will more or less definitely leave a legion stationed in the Polish-occupied areas on the eastern front to guard the border. The number of troops that the German army can use to fight the British and French coalition forces is unlikely to exceed the total number of British and French coalition forces.
In addition, the Belgian government, which has always followed France's lead, can also provide 22 infantry divisions used as cannon fodder. Churchill is convinced that his side's forces will definitely have an advantage!
Unless the German commander was a genius rarely seen in a millennium, and the coalition commander on his side was a fool rarely seen in a century, besides, Churchill really couldn't think of a reason why he couldn't defeat the German army.
