Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know that Suning had been exposed, and the Japs didn't plan to touch Suning yet. He also didn't expect that what he did in the 78th Brigade would be noticed by anyone. After all, a brigade was among the Japs' forces, and he didn't expect that anyone would notice what he did in the 78th Brigade.
It's not that big. Although the 78th Brigade had a lot more things to do at the beginning, it was still only at the brigade level.
The busy days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, May passed and June came.
On June 4, the British and French troops' Dunkirk evacuation ended. In just 8 days, more than 330,000 Allied troops who were besieged in a small area around Dunkirk miraculously evacuated. The British government called for
British coastal residents used their small boats to rescue soldiers on the other side of the strait, and even officers of the Admiralty personally joined the rescue team. Churchill reported the success of the Dunkirk evacuation in the House of Commons, but also reminded that "wars are not won by retreat."
.”
"We will fight to the end. We will fight in France, we will fight in the seas, we will fight in the air with ever greater confidence and with ever greater strength, we will defend our homeland at all costs, we will fight in the
We will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the enemy's landing points, we will fight in the fields and in the streets, we will fight in the mountains. We will never surrender, even if our island or most of this island is conquered and starved -
I never believed that this would happen - that our imperial subjects overseas, armed and protected by the British fleet, would continue to fight until the New World, in God's sight, should bring forth all its might to save it.
And liberate this old world." Churchill waved his hands and shouted. The soldiers were withdrawn, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he wanted to encourage these people who had temporarily lost their courage and asked them to stand up and resist the invaders.
Defend their own home!
"Oh~" The House of Commons cheered and applauded, for this exciting encouragement, for this exciting speech, and for the future of their UK and the future of the world.
In the United Kingdom, the power of the House of Lords once overrode the elected House of Commons. However, since the 19th century, the power of the House of Lords has gradually overshadowed that of the House of Lords. The House of Lords is also known as the House of Peers, and most of its office holders are hereditary from the nobles. But the House of Commons is different.
Members of the House of Commons are directly elected constituency by constituency, and the House of Commons will form the cabinet, which is the government.
The congressmen also believe that the prime minister will lead them to a bright future.
On the same day, Churchill's speech was reprinted by various newspapers. For a time, there was a wave of resistance to the Nazis all over the world, and Churchill's words also brought courage to many people.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the newspaper, smiled and sighed, "Sure enough, some people are born to be excellent orators and can easily stir up the atmosphere." All the British's subsequent persistence is inseparable from Churchill. If Chamberlain is allowed to remain as Prime Minister, the British
They had continued to be appeasement for a long time. After France did not resist, Britain would definitely give up. Therefore, it is still lucky that Britain replaced Churchill, even if Churchill was notorious before.
"Yes, these words made my blood boil." Liu Yuan put the newspaper on the table, "It seems that Germany and Britain are still fighting, and the British troops have withdrawn safely."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "But if there was only Britain, the European battlefield would not be chaotic enough. At this moment, I am afraid that the Chongqing government is discussing sending troops."
"send troops?"
…
"Dear Mr. Jiang, now that China and Britain have formed an alliance, your allies are now in danger, so our Prime Minister hopes that you can lend a helping hand." Locke ran to Chongqing at some time and replaced Eisen.
s position.
"Mr. Locke, we are honored to form an alliance with your country, but you have also seen the situation in China. I don't know what the assistance your Prime Minister is talking about?" Lao Jiang frowned. It has been a week since we formed an alliance with the United Kingdom. Today, we have only
I saw British Prime Minister Churchill's speech in the newspaper, but here we came to him for help? What can China help? It's just a source of troops! The First World War was actually the European War. Although China declared war on Germany, it did not
After sending one soldier after another, more than 140,000 Chinese workers appeared in France as non-combatants. Then, when the war broke out, almost all the workers were sent to the front line. From digging trenches to repairing fortifications, from field rescue to digging burials
From building roads and bridges to unloading grain, grass and ammunition, Chinese workers were engaged in the most arduous and arduous work.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek didn't know what these workers did during World War I. He just knew that there was such a thing. Now that Locke has come to visit, he means to ask China to take action again. After all, in this world, China has the largest population.
No country has the most.
"Mr. Chiang, decades ago, a group of Chinese also participated in World War I!" Locke said, "We can imitate the situation of World War I, or Mr. Chiang directly sends troops! Of course, if Mr. Chiang sends troops, we
The Prime Minister hopes that Mr. Chiang can send soldiers from the independent division to fight!"
Lao Jiang's face slowly darkened. He sent the independent division to fight? How many people can the independent division send? Once the people of the independent division are transferred away, the balance in North China will be broken. So isn't this mediation in vain? Then
, Lao Jiang remembered that the person in front of him seemed to be one of the witnesses of the mediation.
"We need to discuss this matter." Chiang Kai-shek did not refuse directly. After all, the alliance had just been formed and it would not be very friendly to call back the allies' first request for help.
"Then I'll just wait for the good news." Locke withdrew, leaving only Lao Jiang and others, "Chonghui, what do you think?"
Every time when negotiating with ambassadors from other countries, if Chiang Kai-shek was there, then Wang Chonghui, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, would naturally be there too.
"Commissioner, we have just formed an alliance with Britain. It is difficult to refuse the request for support from Britain." Wang Chonghui said, "But how many people should be supported? Which people should be supported needs to be discussed. It cannot be said that they want an independent division.
Let the independent division go into battle. The independent division now affects the balance of North China and must not be moved."
Lao Jiang nodded, "Let's have a meeting later."
"yes!"
…
Zhou Weiguo guessed right. Britain really wanted people from Chiang Kai-shek, and it was his Independent Division. However, the Independent Division had no time to play with the British now. Once the Independent Division had troops, they would be transferred out.
, the Japanese will get the news over there. This kind of news cannot be hidden at all. Once the Japanese get the news, they will have to take small measures. What's more, today's independent divisions, if Lao Chiang wants to transfer them, he still has to
We need to ask the Communist Party for their opinion.
…
"Your Excellency Prime Minister! The Germans are so arrogant! The French don't even want to resist! This is really not good news for us!"
"I know." Churchill picked up his pipe and looked deeply.
