After twirling a page of paper with his fingers, a general in a British army uniform looked at the haggard king of England, and then with a slightly embarrassed expression, he continued to read the reports in his hand that made him difficult to say.
As commander-in-chief of the British army and now commander-in-chief of the ground forces of all members of the British Empire, general Alan brook's daily job is to report all kinds of embarrassing failures. He took over the command of the army, until now, the British army has not been able to achieve even one exciting large-scale victory in the battlefield.
The old general spoke difficultly and reported all kinds of failures in the recent week in a low voice: "in Saudi Arabia, 11 armed Indian divisions were defeated by German and Italian forces. They are now retreating to Iran, and about 40000 people are surrounded and captured..."
"General aranbrook, send a telegram to our commander, montbarton, asking him to find a way to arm more local Indians, do everything possible to defend Iran, and stop the German army from moving eastward." King George VI of England looked at his army commander's orders, as if he knew that all his orders would not be carried out at all.
"Your majesty! You know, we can't continue to arm the Indian local forces, which waste arms and often disobey orders, and thousands of them are defeated and captured by the German army. " "So, a few hours ago, general Mountbatten called, hoping that we could send one or two British or Canadian divisions to India to help him continue to fight the enemy," he explained
"I'm kidding. Canada has limited the number of troops that can support us to the standard of only 10 divisions at most. We have exhausted four in the past time, and then transferred two... What can we do to defend Canada and Iceland?" Asked George VI, somewhat vexed.
General aranbrook pondered for two seconds, then suddenly suggested to his Majesty the king: "Your Majesty, according to incomplete statistics, we have about 500000 troops who have become German prisoners of war. They are locked up in concentration camps, Every day for a piece of bread production shells and military uniform to deal with ourselves... The whole British Isles have become occupied by the German, in this case, we continue to adhere to, also not long
"Not long? A month ago, you generals told me that we won't last long! But we still insist on it till now! My people believe me! My people support me! As long as we don't give up, we can stick to it all the time! " George VI looked at Alan brook and roared with great excitement. Other people may accept the fact that they are defeated and surrender, but he, the king of England, never dare to humiliate and beg for peace.
"Your majesty! With all due respect. If our naval fleet is still in existence, we still have the hope of winning miserably. Now the navy is suffering heavy losses. We will continue to persist. Once the Germans land in Iceland, what can we do to stop them? " Aranbrook heard that King George VI was so stubborn, so he had to threaten: "there is only one division in the garrison of Iceland, and the Germans may only use two regiments to annihilate us!"
In fact, Alan Brooke's calculation is more pessimistic and desperate than this conclusion. Considering that Germany is using special forces on a large scale, a special mode of operation that is difficult to guard against, Alan Brooke thinks that if possible, if the German only invests about 200 special forces soldiers to launch a sneak attack at night, it is possible to defeat the garrison in Iceland and kill the main British commander on the island.
It's not surprising that he was so pessimistic, because after Churchill and his former army commander-in-chief died together in London, Alan Brooke witnessed all kinds of failures: the fierce battle in North Africa ended in Germany's victory, the blockade of Iceland also killed his counterattack plan, and finally the Germans occupied a large area of the middle East, The British, on the other hand, are stuck in India and have no hope of victory.
Now the situation is: the British power in montbarton's hands is becoming less and less, and the public order and rule in India are beginning to shake up. At this time, it seems that it is not much easier to expect montbarton to continue to expand the army, stick to the defense line and prevent the German army from advancing than to take back the British mainland directly. Barton didn't perform miracles in India either. He had to return to India with montbarton. The whole Indian peninsula has consumed 7788 weapons and materials.
Alan Brooke finally said what he thought: "well, your majesty, there is only one choice left. Is it possible to negotiate peacefully with the Germans? We admit defeat, hand over part of our sovereignty and change it for another... "
"Shut up! General Alan brook! I appointed you commander of the army, not to listen to your suggestion that I surrender! I want you to help me win this war! Do you understand? Even if I was... "George VI clapped the table in front of him and yelled.
But before he finished yelling, an officer rushed into the underground command center in Iceland with a telegram: "your majesty! Commander! a german! The German sent a message that they had developed atomic weapons! The intelligence says that the power of an atomic weapon explosion can destroy a city! "
What George VI wanted to say was abruptly interrupted by others. He looked at each other angrily. Before he got angry, he was frightened and confused by the other party's shouting words. He subconsciously gathered up his emotions, then looked at the officer who delivered the message, frowned and asked, "you... What did you say? What weapon? Where did you hear the news? "“ Atomic weapons... Are the super weapons reported to you by our scientific advisers, which can change the course of war. " The officer looked at the army commander Alan Brooke, who looked a little ugly and didn't say a word. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to say to George VI: "it has been confirmed that many international politicians were taken to a secret experimental base by the German head of state and witnessed the weapon experiment with their own eyes... But the news is still being confirmed, The United States has already got the relevant information. " This is great news. If the Germans are allowed to take the lead in developing the super weapon that can frighten the world, how can the war continue? If the war between the United States and Germany is over, what will happen to him, the king of England? Sent back to Germany as a nomination? Or do you want to be a nobody? He didn't even want to think about these things, so he had to look at the army commander Alan Brooke around him, tried to soften his voice, and said: "fully cooperate with the intelligence department to make this matter clear... If the Germans make such a big news, there must be news worthy of our concern in it! I want to know as soon as possible, the more comprehensive the better! "“ Yes! Your majesty! As your commander of the army, I would also like to ask you, if the Germans really control some powerful weapons and are enough to threaten Iceland and Canada... Do you want to prepare and arrange a special envoy to Germany or Israel? " Alan Brooke asked cautiously“ Sir! Sir! Your majesty! radio! radio! Channel one in Germany... That man is speaking! ha-ha! It seems that Germany is irritated by the Japanese! " Before George VI could answer Alan Brooke's question, another politician ran in and yelled to George VI excitedly: "maybe it's a turn for the better, maybe! Your majesty George VI felt that everyone was offending his dignity today. Who dares to interrupt him repeatedly? As a result, several people rushed in today and let him swallow half of what he said. But he did not attack, control their emotions, went to the radio, turned on the top of the switch. So in the noise of electric current, a familiar and strange voice suddenly reverberated: "I, the head of the Third Reich, solemnly pronounce here that the axis powers are guilty of violating international law, using chemical weapons without authorization, and violating humanitarianism! 1700 people were sentenced to death, including Hideki Tojo, Shoichiro iwagaki and so on Now, the soldiers of the Third Reich of great Germany, go and carry out my sentence! " With a slight shake, George VI felt that he might collapse and fainted. His ancestors laid a huge territory and left England a title of never setting sun! However, after he took over the British Empire, the country fell apart and the native land was occupied. Now the powerful opponent has extended his influence to the Far East. Compared with Britain, this new opponent is more like a real empire that never sets“ Your majesty! Your majesty Alan Brooke looked at George VI, who was a little bit impolite, and whispered twice, which brought the lost king back to reality from the pain: "nothing else, then I will go to confirm the German secret weapon related problems."“ Don't bother... We can wait here quietly. If an atomic bomb goes off in Japan, it's not too late for us to take countermeasures! " George VI waved his hand to Alan brook and said, "wait. All we have to do is wait for the result of this news."
