At the same time that Reinhardt issued the bombing notice, the Duke of Hamilton, who planned to use the peace talks to delay the Germans, also returned to London in despair, with the confirmation of both Britain and Germany, using a special wartime channel and taking a plane arranged by Germany.
When Duke Hamilton returned to London, the first person he went to see was not Churchill, whom Reinhard had been obsessed with and sarcastic about, but Duke Gott, who was actually in charge of the overall situation.
"How is it? I heard from Reinhardt's public speech an hour ago that you rejected his peace proposal?" Gott eagerly asked Hamilton as soon as they met at the headquarters.
Hamilton couldn't help but laugh at Gott's words.
Of course, he didn't hear Reinhardt's confusing speech on the plane. However, he at least understood one thing - if Reinhardt's unmerciful peace request could be rejected.
The other party described it as a "peace proposal" in a flattering way. The content of this speech would probably be so shameless that it would drive those who knew it crazy.
Shaking his head, Hamilton responded to Gott's gaze with a wry smile: "If we agree to his request for peace, Britain will become a country weaker than Luxembourg in terms of military strength and political influence."
What was Luxembourg like? At the peak of Luxembourg's military strength in later generations, its total armed forces were only 2,114, composed of the army, gendarmerie and police. Among them, there were 930 soldiers in the army, organized into a light force with 3 companies.
The infantry battalion and an independent company are mainly equipped with 5 armored personnel carriers. There are 682 military police and 502 police. Their combat effectiveness is pitifully low.
Hamilton no longer had to explain to Gott in detail what conditions Reinhardt had offered. He simply compared the strength of Luxembourg to the future of the British Empire, which was enough to explain Reinhardt's requirements simply and clearly.
The irrationality was relayed to Gott.
"Really..." When Gott heard Hamilton say this, he smiled bitterly and no longer wanted to ask for any details.
He has seen too much what politicians look like when they are shameless.
Let’s not go too far, let’s just say that Churchill, the politician in the basement whom Gott was most familiar with, was so shameless that he was completely inhumane!
Not to mention letting the National Guards, who are all militiamen, go to the battlefield, Churchill, the damn fat guy, has given all kinds of bastard orders countless times in order to make the troop numbers look better on paper. He drove away the women and children in the UK.
Go to the battlefield and be forced to fight.
Gott still remembers that before he took over the affairs handled by Churchill, when the German army just arrived in London, Churchill often walked out of the dilapidated air defense fortifications to meet and award England's "last warriors" with honors.
That lunatic, in order to realize his fantasy, fight a satisfactory battle in London, consume a large number of Allied forces, and drag the Soviet army to defeat Germany, actually used a half-seduction and half-coercion method to capture thousands of adult women and male children.
Incorporate into the National Guard and place them in every house, every building, every square, and every place where people can be released in south London, to serve as cannon fodder and victims to delay the German army.
Relying on this inhumane method, Churchill forced the Allied forces that had already invaded south London to take another five days to completely eliminate more than 100,000 female and child soldiers.
Gott also remembered that he had met the brigade commander of the Churchill Youth Brigade who was personally decorated by Churchill. As the oldest young man in the brigade, this brigade commander was only a 19-year-old youth!
The children in the Churchill Youth Brigade are younger than Gott's own son.
Gott couldn't figure out how cruel Churchill was to be so crazy that he drove these children to the battlefield to fight with the professional German soldiers.
He suggested to Churchill that a team composed of women and children could only play a very limited role.
But Churchill's answer made Gott even more crazy. The other party actually said, "Since the effect is limited, it means it is still effective. In extraordinary times, all measures that can play a role should be fully implemented!"
As a result, these children, who were not even able to have a gun each, were gathered together and became the "brave little cannon fodder" in Churchill's hands.
Some of them were also holding British longbows that they found from who knows which museum or from a noble family.
Churchill even obtained hundreds of pieces of armor and spears from the British royal family and distributed them to the older children of the Youth Brigade.
Gott sympathized with these poor children. He could help Montgomery, who had seen through the end, and de Gaulle, as well as the members of the British royal family, to escape from London, but he could not help the children who were brainwashed by Churchill to leave.
Many of the children selected to join the Churchill Youth Brigade are orphans whose parents were killed in action.
Gott remembered that he saw a boy of about 15 years old who seemed to be called "Alan" at the simple investiture ceremony. He was a poor child. During the investiture ceremony, Gott heard praise for Allen's loyalty to the country.
The tribute to courage and determination said that his parents had long been killed on the front line, leaving him alone and becoming an orphan of the war. Then he was found and incorporated into the National Guard, following in the footsteps of his parents.
The officer in charge of the introduction, who was still standing by to introduce the decorated Allen, said that he led his child soldier combat team to ambush and kill three German soldiers with a longbow.
Then Churchill, standing next to Gott, stretched out his fat hand, pinched the child's face and said, "I really hope my general is as brave as you."
Immediately, with the ugly expression of the earth-colored General Gott whom Churchill said was not brave, Churchill hung a small iron medal on the young man's chest.
When the miserable ceremony was finally over, Churchill turned back to his bunker.
Gott also clearly remembered that his adjutant quickly stepped forward and grabbed Churchill's secretary's clothes, and asked the other party in a low voice: "When will Mr. Prime Minister plan to end this damn war?"
Then Churchill's secretary glanced at the entrance where Churchill entered the bunker, and replied in a teasing tone: "The Prime Minister has decided to hold on to London until the final victory comes."
The secretary imitated Churchill's words, and Gott still feels that the words are still ringing in his ears.
Victory? Is he crazy? The Germans may capture London at any time and kill all the resisters. And the best outcome for a fat man like Churchill is to be hanged as a war criminal!
For Churchill, a lunatic, his last act of madness was to drag the city of London along with him to be buried with him.
Gott didn’t want to accompany Churchill to go crazy!
