Chapter 448： Return home as prime minister

People seem to have forgotten how much they hated Churchill's remarks in the past few years. The chattering words of war threats made people want to tie Churchill to a shelf and burn him to death.

But now, they suddenly discovered that Churchill had foresight long ago! Everything that Churchill predicted is true, and at the same time, Churchill is still a firm representative!

Although the United Kingdom is also a free country, unlike the United States, the British general election is not the election of the Prime Minister, but the election of members of the House of Commons.

The general election implements a simple majority election system. Voters vote for members of the House of Commons from 650 constituency seats and win more than half of the constituency seats in the country. That is, a party with more than 326 seats will be in power, and the leader of the party will become the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

In other words, as long as there are enough members of the party, they can be prime minister. At the same time, if the number of members of the party is not enough, they can also unite with other parties to form a coalition government.

In the UK, the prime minister is not elected.

In this eventful season, Britain was even more unable to carry out various election activities. After Chamberlain knew that he had been abandoned by Parliament, Chamberlain elected Churchill, whom the public had hoped for, to serve as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In this way, Chamberlain is also good. When Churchill becomes prime minister, Chamberlain can be pardoned for all the mistakes made by Chamberlain, and even Chamberlain can continue his political career, as in history.

After Churchill came to power, he helped Chamberlain block those impeachments and even gave Chamberlain some positions.

After Chamberlain resigned as prime minister, he remained the leader of the Conservative Party. Although the Labour Party and the Liberal Party encouraged Churchill to expel Chamberlain from the government, Chamberlain still received the support of most Conservative MPs, so Churchill still asked him to stay in the war cabinet.

Churchill initially wanted to appoint Chamberlain as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but was strongly opposed by the Labour Party and the Liberal Party, and finally appointed him as the President of the Privy Council and in charge of the important Council of the President of the Privy Council.

As a British politician, Chamberlain continued to perform his work faithfully and provided many useful advice to the government.

Churchill's approach was also rewarded. In 1940, due to the inability to conquer Britain, Germany offered to negotiate a peace with Britain, which almost caused the government to split. Chamberlain initially supported the acceptance of the terms, but Churchill successfully persuaded Chamberlain to stand with him and oppose the peace.

Chamberlain is still supported by most Conservative Party MPs, while Churchill is only supported by Labour Party and Liberal Party MPs. Chamberlain is worried that this phenomenon will weaken the government, so he encouraged Conservative Party MPs to support Churchill on various occasions.

Looking at these examples, we know that the British government is still very harmonious. In short, there will never be an anecdote of a certain eastern country where the president is in front of him and a scandal broke out and was finally thrown into prison.

And now, Chamberlain knows that he is no longer suitable to be Prime Minister, so he should find a suitable person to lead the UK, and this person, of course, is Churchill!

When Churchill received the news, he was taken aback at first, and then immediately recovered. He is already the Prime Minister, then he will serve the interests of Britain!

He was in Paris and wanted to coordinate the British Expeditionary Force and France in the war against Germany, but it is not important now, he must return to England.

Britain, what is missing now is hope, and Churchill hopes to give hope to the country and the people through speeches!

Britain has never failed, and this time too!

"Prepare a special plane immediately, I want to return to the UK." Churchill said.

Transforming into the wartime system, enlisting reserve forces into active service, and continuing to seek help from the United States, all of this needs to be arranged immediately. Britain has lost too much time, and now we must race against time!

Churchill looked at Gan Malin one last time and said to him: "General Gan Malin, I suggest you leave some reserve teams. The Germans opposite us are very cunning."

The coach here is Gan Malin, even if Churchill uses his status as the new prime minister, he can't give Gan Malin an order, after all, this is French territory.

He can only suggest.

After he finished saying this sentence, he hurried away from the conference hall. For him, there is a more important task. Britain needs him!

At the same time, there was a sense of pride in his heart. Even if it is getting worse, the British heritage is still rich. Germany can't win, and Britain will definitely stick to the end!

"Thompson, after returning, go to see His Majesty the King." On the special plane, Churchill said to his personal guard.

In Britain, in the bourgeois revolution that year, it did not directly send the king to the guillotine like France, but maintained the existence of the royal family.

The royal family leads the people spiritually, while the prime minister specifically handles the country’s government affairs. After each prime minister has completed his election, he must first report to His Majesty the King.

Now the king of England, UU Read is George VI, who only came to power the year before.

"Yes." Thompson replied to him. From then on, Churchill will have to deal with a lot of things. As a personal guard, he must protect Churchill's safety and plan his itinerary.

While flying over the English Channel, Churchill fell asleep. It wasn't until the body shook gently that Churchill woke up.

"Prime Minister, I have arrived in London." Thompson said.

Already here? Churchill got up from his seat, and when he opened the curtains and looked outside the cabin, he was taken aback.

I don't know when, there are people standing outside! At this time, it was raining lightly in London, and the people outside the cabin, without umbrellas, were looking at the special plane with a focused gaze.

"Sorry, I don't know why, when our plane landed, there were already so many people in the airport." Thompson said.

Churchill remembered that a few years ago, when Chamberlain returned to London after the Munich Agreement was signed, the airport was the same, but the mood of the people was different.

At that time, it was easy, but now, it is depressing.

"Well, let's go out." Churchill said, he had to change his plan temporarily, after getting off the plane, give a speech to boost morale in Britain!

If you want to be a qualified politician, you must be a qualified orator. A mustache can agitate the whole of Germany from the haze of World War I. This is the charm of language.

And Churchill can definitely complete this task, you know, Churchill himself is a literati.

The light rain in London was pattering, while in the drizzle, a pair of eyes looked at the plane restlessly, the top hat pressed his face, and his hands trembled slightly.
