Chapter 770： The king leaves London

Leclerc is Altcrock. After he came to England, he met Churchill. Churchill instructed to create the Free France Organization and lead the French people to continue the war.

Leclerc did it silently. After all, let him return to France to lead the people's underground struggle. It was simply looking for death. Now under German rule, the French earn more than before, and the treatment is also good. The French I didn't even think about resisting.

He could only go to the colonies to develop. After all, after France announced its surrender, there were still many colonies without a clear statement.

Leclerc made it! He found a new base for free France, and he has opened up the situation!

Although the free France is still very weak, it is a good start. When they have trained an army there, they will develop northward and continue to occupy the French colonies.

De Gaulle is gone, and the historical responsibility of de Gaulle is completely assigned to Leclerc.

Hearing the news, Churchill silently lit a cigar and took two sips. He finally spoke: "The road to struggle is rough, but as long as there is firm confidence, I believe that victory will ultimately belong to Ours. Throughout history, we have never been truly defeated!"

The smell of cigar was able to make Churchill sober, and Churchill silently left No. 5 Downing Street and went to Buckingham Palace.

In 1837, Queen Victoria moved to her first residence in July, only three weeks after she assumed the throne. Buckingham Palace was officially regarded as the residence of the British royal family until now.

King George VI of England lives here.

Now, Britain is in a precarious manner. During the day, the Germans will even carry out air raids on the capital, London. Although the Royal Air Force continues to resist, there are still many German bombers flying over London to drop bombs.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not. In short, Buckingham Palace has never been bombed.

Even so, members of the royal family were evacuated to live in the basement of the palace to guard against German air strikes.

In this case, the king still chose to stay in London, undoubtedly for inspiration. In the daytime, when the king and queen appeared at the bombed scene and directed the rescue, their image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Until now, the hearts of the people in London are still stable, and they firmly believe that the UK will be able to win the final victory.

However, as the highest level, everyone knows the risks involved.

"Germany is advancing too fast. Although American supplies are being delivered, we can't guarantee that we can hold London before the supplies arrive." Churchill looked at King George VI in front of him under the electric lights in the dim basement.

The smoke was full of smoke, and George VI was even more of a smoker, almost inseparable from the smoke, and he did not live for a few years after World War II, so he died.

Now, King George VI’s eyes, looking at Churchill, are full of complex emotions: “We, mobilized, the whole country, nearly half of the army, we, are fighting on the mainland, and now, we are still, hopeless. , Hold on, we our our capital?"

Half of the army! If the expeditionary army had not been captured on French territory, then Churchill could now pat his chest and said that he would hold on, but it would not work.

He really doesn't have the confidence. How powerful is the combat effectiveness of the troops that have been assembled in a hurry while shouting to fight for the empire? To be honest, it's not as good as the colonial army!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I hope you can leave London temporarily and go to the northern cities to continue to be the leader of our country and lead our people in the war." Churchill said: "You are the spiritual pillar of our people and your safety and security. major."

George VI's mood is complicated. He does not want to be the King of England.

Before the ranks, his name was Albert. In character, he was a very shy person and suffered from severe stuttering throughout his life.

Therefore, when he speaks, he will bounce and say words one by one, so that it is not easy to express his mouth to eat. If he speaks quickly, the word will be repeated many times.

He was very unhappy when he learned that his brother, who succeeded Edward VIII in 1936, finally decided to abdicate due to marital problems and that he would inherit the throne. He was enthroned at Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937 and was renamed George VI.

Who knows, after he became the throne, the country declined rapidly. At this time, he had no other choice but to stand up as a spiritual leader and lead the nation's people in the war of resistance.

Although he stutters and is shy, he is also the one who will not compromise on the issue of national sovereignty.

"I, won't, leave, London." George VI said.

As a king, he must have dignity. In history, how many kings guarded their castles, no matter how many years they were surrounded, they still lived and fought in the castles.

Leaving the seat of the royal family for hundreds of years and going north, what is this?

And, if the Germans conquered London, what next? The Germans will continue to advance north until they occupy the entire United Kingdom. Where should they go?

It is better to be a monarch who died in battle and stay in London, and you can also make yourself famous forever.

King George VI is very persistent.

"Your Majesty, as long as you are still there, our people will have hope." Churchill said: "You may not know that even France, which has surrendered now, has organized a free France. In Chad and Cameroon, there has been a rise. , Officially supports Free France."

Free France? In a French colony?

Hearing this, hope rekindled in George VI's heart. Yeah, even if the mainland has fallen, so what? Britain still has a vast colony. Even if it goes to a colony, it can continue to lead the people in the war against Germany. As long as it does not fall, it will continue the war!

Choosing to die is an act of the weak. As the king of the United Kingdom, it is his true mission to finally drive out the Germans and restore the dignity of Britain!

After successfully moving George VI, Churchill was relieved. No matter how good the publicity was at the beginning, or what he wanted to coexist and die with London, now, when it is time to go, he still has to go, and fast!

"Your Majesty, clean up, and tonight, I will take you out of London with your family. You should go to Liverpool first, it is safer there," Churchill said.

Liverpool, in the middle of England, at the same time, relying on the Irish Sea, if the situation continues to deteriorate, it will be easy to send the king away from there, leave the mainland, go to the colony, and continue to organize the war. 91108
