The so-called "Sea Lion Plan" is a plan to completely eliminate the British air force and naval power, and then use the army to occupy the British Isles.
Unfortunately, there were problems with Germany's ship preparations and logistical supplies, so Hitler switched to a pure air force attack, forcing Britain to surrender. Friends who are familiar with history know that Hitler later announced that the "Sea Lion Project" would be postponed indefinitely because Britain could not be eliminated.
That few air forces.
The British played guerrilla warfare in the air, often attacking more with less, rushing into a melee of German bombers, and then taking off at the right moment.
At the beginning, Germany only bombed British air bases and naval fleets. Later, it was so annoyed by British aerial guerrilla warfare that it simply switched to a large-scale bombing of London. While countless neighborhoods in London were bombed into rubble, Churchill felt that
I breathed a sigh of relief because the air force base was finally able to relax.
Churchill was very hard-hearted. He could crack the German code and pretend not to know, and left the entire city of Coventry undefended for German bombing. He could also take advantage of the German bombing of London to quickly repair the airport and aircraft, and use civilian equipment to
Lives were exchanged for the survival of the British Air Force.
With the help of pilot Ethan, Zhou Hexuan successfully landed the plane, and they were immediately surrounded.
"Is anyone injured?" the ground crew asked.
Zhou Hexuan stood on the gangway and said: "I am Zhou Hexuan. We were attacked by Germans. There are two dead and three injured on the plane. Please arrange a car to take the injured to the hospital."
Zhu Guozhen and Sun Yongzhen helped the injured man to the ground carefully. Someone recognized Ethan and quickly asked: "Where is Hutt?"
Ethan said with some sadness: "Unfortunately, Hurt has gone to see God. Thanks to Mr. Zhou, he not only writes wonderfully, but he is also good at flying airplanes. He flew the plane back to London."
The ground staff were amazed. Some felt incredible knowing Zhou Hexuan, while others who didn't knew him inquired about the situation in detail.
Soon the airport car also arrived, and everyone took the car to the urban hospital.
Wang Rizhang's injury was the least severe. He was just hit on the forehead and suffered a slight concussion at most. Ju Yiqiao's calf muscle was punched with a large hole. He would have to recover for at least a month if he wanted to stand up and walk.
Ethan's injury was the most serious. He suffered a comminuted fracture in his right arm and it will be difficult to fly a plane again after recovering from the injury.
London reporters heard the news, and many came to interview the heroes who escaped from the gunpoint of the German plane. As a result, they accidentally learned the news about Zhou Hexuan, and they all changed their targets, blocking Zhou Hexuan in the hospital and unable to leave.
The reporter asked: "Mr. Zhou, was it really you who flew the plane? When did you learn to fly a plane?"
Zhou Hexuan said modestly: "I only know a little bit about airplane piloting skills."
The reporter asked: "I heard that the plane was hit with dozens of bullet holes by Germans. The situation must have been very dangerous at that time, right?"
"I don't know, I haven't counted how many bullet holes there are," Zhou Hexuan suddenly said sternly, "But I want to severely condemn Germany's shameless act of attacking civilians. We were flying on a civilian plane, and it belonged to Egypt, a very special country.
Aircraft of belligerent countries!”
The reporter asked again: "What is the purpose of your coming to the UK this time?"
Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say: "I am here to visit the UK on behalf of the Chinese government. I know that the British people have always loved peace, but now they are forced to accept war, and countless British people have lost their lives under German guns. In this regard, I represent
The Chinese people extend heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the British people. Fascism is a demon that destroys human peace, and China has been fighting fascist forces for ten years! As early as ten years ago, the Japanese fascists invaded Northeast China. We built with our flesh and blood
Build a new Great Wall. Now, I hope that China and Britain can join hands to resist the invasion of fascist forces and win this war forced by fascism!"
The reporter said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, are you going to negotiate an alliance with the UK on behalf of China?"
Zhou Hexuan said more and more enthusiastically: "China is willing to form an alliance with any anti-fascist force because this is not a war in the ordinary sense. This is a war in which the fascist devil attempts to rule the world."
A reporter suddenly asked: "Can China resist Japan's attack? You seem to have lost many battles."
Zhou Hexuan immediately retorted: "Britain has also suffered many defeats. Hundreds of thousands of British and French troops were blocked in Dunkirk. Do you think Britain cannot win?"
"Uh... of course Britain must win." The reporter said awkwardly.
Zhou Hexuan said impassionedly: "China will never surrender, just like Britain will never surrender. Japan may be able to occupy the entire China, but there will definitely be no living Chinese in the China they occupy, because there will never be any Chinese until all Chinese are dead.
Maybe give up resistance! The world anti-fascist war must win, China must win, and Britain must win!”
The reporters took notes quickly, and someone else asked: "Do you have confidence in the Sino-British alliance?"
Zhou Hexuan suddenly became serious: "I feel very sorry. As anti-fascist countries, China and the United Kingdom should be natural allies. However, the British government wants to compromise with Japan, and the United Kingdom actually wants to close the Burma Highway. That is China's only foreign policy.
One of the two lines of communication, the British government's approach undoubtedly pushed China into a desperate situation. This is a very irrational behavior, because China has delayed the pace of Japan's aggression. Once China loses its resistance, Japan will inevitably speed up its invasion of Britain.
Far Eastern Colonies. The British government’s behavior is short-sighted and cowardly. I hope Prime Minister Churchill can consider it carefully!”
The hospital completely turned into a stage for Zhou Hexuan's speech. Many patients came to listen curiously, and the speech finally ended until near noon.
After the reporters left, Ma Jue said with admiration: "Sir, you spoke so well!"
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Are they okay?"
Ma Jue said: "Mr. Wang has woken up, but Mr. Ju still needs to be hospitalized for recuperation."
"I'm fine," Wang Rizhang said with a bandage on his forehead and a thumbs up. "Mr. Zhou is so amazing that he can even fly a plane. If you hadn't taken action in the moment of danger, we would all have been responsible for it in the English Channel."
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm really not good at flying airplanes. I just catch the ducks to fly."
Ma Jue suddenly pointed outside: "Sir, Ambassador Guo is here!"
Guo Taiqi was still dressed very showily, but his face was a little haggard. He came over with a civilized stick and asked with concern: "Are you all okay? I just received the news, it scared me to death."
Zhou Hexuan said: "It's okay, just a little injury. By the way, has the British government made a decision?"
Guo Taiqi shook his head and sighed: "I haven't decided yet, but that's pretty much it."
In fact, when Zhou Hexuan was flying, the British cabinet had already passed a resolution to close the Burma Highway. However, this resolution has not been announced yet because the UK needs the approval of the United States. If the United States objects, the resolution will have to be invalidated.
