The leader of an empire finally ushered in his tragedy.
He had a good chance, at least he could have fought for a decent ending for himself and the motherland.
It's a pity that everything he did after coming to power was almost like being obsessed and clamoring for war fanatically. He always believed that his brave and powerful army could defeat all opponents and do better than the arrogant imperial guys.
A hundred times!
As early as the moment Chamberlain stepped down, the situation was destined to develop in this direction.
Yes, Churchill, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, also met his end.
The Soviet attack was not as effective as he imagined.
On the contrary, as if the Germans had already guessed that the Soviet army would attack, they made strict arrangements and executed the defense plan accurately.
Even the German SS troops who retreated before seemed to be making a strategic advance rather than a retreat as advertised by German newspapers. Looking at their current posture, it seems that there is a bigger counterattack plan about to be implemented!
The German troops on the British Isles continued to advance and intensified their offensive like crazy.
Completely opposite to what Churchill expected, although the German army was indeed preparing to quickly divert troops from the battle against Britain and move eastward, they adopted a more radical approach to free up their hands by completely defeating Britain!
"This is not our war originally. The Germans have a territorial dispute with Poland and they have a feud with France. However, we can mediate and stay out of it, just like the Americans did."
Due to excessive disappointment and the extreme decadence of the frontline war, a man in a suit who was Churchill's confidant actually forgot his identity and complained in front of Churchill.
You know, after the Battle of Dunkirk, Reinhard showed goodwill to Britain more than once internationally, ostensibly extending an olive branch in front of the whole world.
In the eyes of many people, it was Churchill's insistence on opposing peace negotiations with Reinhard that led to today's tragedy.
Although Churchill did the right thing, and although Churchill clearly understood that Reinhardt's so-called peace negotiations may not be sincere, he could not make everyone believe so.
And now, even if everyone wants to believe it, it is already too late.
After glaring at his confidant angrily and scaring him into silence, Churchill unexpectedly did not pursue the man's responsibility.
In other words, he no longer has the energy to pursue a subordinate's quarrel.
Not to mention that confidant, even Churchill himself is now wondering whether he has missed too many opportunities.
Indeed, after the defeat at Dunkirk, Britain had lost the possibility of victory. And as the German troops landed on the British mainland, their chances of even defending the victory were very slim.
However, God finally showed mercy to the British at this moment and gave them an opportunity. The sudden attack of the Soviet army on the Eastern Front was no longer a secret, because the Soviets had no intention of concealing their intentions!
At that time, if Britain could show goodwill to Germany, which was locked in a two-front war, and sign an armistice agreement that satisfied both sides, it would even be possible.
After all, the Germans suffered the loss of fighting on two fronts in the last world war, and suffered unforgettable pain. Once the British come up with the policy of jointly resisting the Red Soviet Union during the Chamberlain incident, the Germans are very likely to be willing to fight on the Western Front
ceasefire.
Although the British army did not hold the beach, they could still rely on their geographical familiarity and the convenience of local operations to support their defense for a period of time. Even if the German army was good at fighting, they would carefully consider the gains and losses.
On the other side, the British themselves also understand that if they continue to fight, they will definitely lose. Therefore, even if this armistice agreement is not so equal, it is at least a hundred times better than an agreement signed after defeat.
But at that time, Churchill strongly opposed it again.
He regarded the Soviet attack as a turning point that would determine the outcome of the war. He also made arrogant speeches to mobilize, declaring that he would never surrender.
He also vowed to take the entire British Empire with him and fight the Third Reich on the beaches, at the landing sites, in the fields and streets, and even in the mountains to the end - even if the British island, or much of it, was conquered and starved.
middle!
But now it seems that even Churchill's cronies are not willing to join him in resisting hunger. In fact, few people are willing in the first place.
Even Churchill himself, who swears by this slogan, still eats well three meals a day.
"What you said makes sense." Churchill once again said surprisingly, actually slightly agreeing with the words of his confidant.
"Tomorrow I will go to meet the king and describe the current situation to him." After a few seconds of silence, Churchill said abruptly: "The next decision cannot be made by me alone. Your Majesty the King, it is time to stand up
Come out and speak out.”
Churchill then continued viciously: "As the king of the British Empire, he has the responsibility to lead the people to resist until the last moment!"
Hiss~
All the Prime Minister's confidants present couldn't help but gasped.
Listening to what Churchill just said, they almost thought that the Prime Minister was going to turn around and negotiate an armistice with the Germans.
As a result, Fatty Qiu just felt that it would be better to take the responsibility with the king than to shoulder the responsibility alone.
This fat man has no intention of turning around, he just wants to go all the way to the dark side!
........
Southern England, headquarters of the German, French and Norwegian Allied Forces.
As the leader of the German paratroopers, Stuart was discussing the next combat strategy with General Weygand, the commander of the French army, and Commander Sundero of the Norwegian 5th Division.
It is said that the three countries discussed it together, but in fact the Norwegian officers were just making a fool of themselves. The real decision-making power was made by Weigand and Stuart, the two generals who held the main force.
"I heard that the German army that landed in Portsmouth is progressing smoothly, and the next strategic target has been set in London."
In the headquarters, Wei Gang preached to Stuart through an interpreter.
"That's right." Stuart nodded and confirmed to Wei Gang.
"So..." Stuart smiled and continued with some meaning: "Our army can also set its next strategic goal as occupying London."
"Oh?" Wei Gang couldn't hide his joy and excitement when he heard this.
You know, if the French army can also become a member of the capital of the British Empire, it will undoubtedly be a great honor.
"However, we are halfway between London and a strategic city where British troops are stationed on a large scale." Wei Gang looked at the large-scale map on the wall.
"Greenwich?" Stuart also moved his eyes to the map, nodded lightly, and waved his hand naturally: "That's ours."
