Beiyang reactionaries

Because a lot of people don't like Churchill.Churchill's character is not pleasing. Many people think that Churchill is a "hooligan" who is completely incompatible with those who pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor in British politics.

Besides, Churchill's reputation was not very good before he became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and he did not have any outstanding achievements.

First of all, Churchill entered the political arena by relying on the Conservative Party, but in the political circle for more than 30 years, Churchill is like a chameleon.One will be the Conservative Party, one will be the Liberal Party, and the other will be the Labor Party, making many people in the political arena despise him.Moreover, during World War I, as the Minister of the Navy, he approved the navy's plan to capture the Dardanelles, but in the end the navy was unable to capture the strait and paid a huge price, becoming a Waterloo in his political arena.

He later served as Secretary of State for War and Air Force, where he actively promoted plans to intervene in the Russian Civil War.The result was that the plan suffered a disastrous defeat, and the Russian Civil War was eventually won by Soviet Russia.The result not only caused heavy losses to Britain, but also made British diplomacy passive.

After Britain and France declared war on Germany, Churchill entered Chamberlain's war cabinet as Lord of the Admiralty.However, in the just-concluded Norwegian campaign, the British Navy performed poorly and suffered considerable losses.

This situation made many people dislike Churchill.

Not to mention the political arena, even the British royal family doesn't like Churchill.It's really because Churchill is too "rude" and doesn't look like a British aristocrat at all.Mouth full of foul language and no manners observed at all.The royal family invited her to dinner and talked to him about the current situation, and he could talk while feeding the dog what was on the dinner table.

So many people think that Churchill's opposition to the "appeasement policy" was just luck.Even though Chamberlain has stepped down, the forces headed by Chamberlain still occupy the mainstream in British politics.It's just that the pressure of public opinion is too great now, so Chamberlain resigned.

So after Chamberlain came to power, he had a very headache.

The first thing Churchill has to solve at present is the issue of the Anglo-French coalition forces in Dunkirk.In order to withdraw these troops, the British began to hire civilian ships.But just after receiving the call, only [-] ships were produced, which made Churchill furious.

What can three hundred ships do?

More than 40 people are currently surrounded by German troops.Not to mention so many people, even if tens of thousands of people were to be evacuated, three hundred civilian ships would not be enough.Britain is the world's naval power, how did it raise [-] ships?

Churchill is really angry, a bunch of idlers.

"Prime Minister, what about China?"

Halifax didn't like Churchill.

Because Halifax is a true British nobleman, he pays great attention to his usual words and deeds.For a rude person like Churchill, I don't like it from the bottom of my heart.In the eyes of Halifax, Churchill was the scum of the nobility.

However, Halifax is still the British Foreign Secretary, and Chamberlain's resignation did not affect his position.He knows the current situation, and the current situation does not allow Britain to be affectionate.Britain needs to stand up and resist. At this time, a character like Churchill may be more suitable.

Therefore, although Halifax didn't like Churchill smoking a cigar, he still fulfilled his responsibilities and did not delay his work.

"How's it going?"

"Due to the war, the negotiations with China failed to produce any results during this period. But the 40-day period announced by China is coming soon. Our Consulate General in Chongqing, combined with information from the Chengdu Consulate and the Kunming Consulate, is currently China raised a large amount of various materials in their southwest region and sent them to Tibet. Our consulate general in Lhasa also gave us information that a large number of infantry artillery was sent to the front line through Lhasa.”

"Shit, all fucking shit."

When Churchill got angry, he dropped the cigar in his hand, cursing.

Halifax frowned immediately.

This is the most unacceptable thing about Halifax.Churchill was really uneducated, and he would swear at every turn.Churchill didn't care what Halifax thought. Anyway, Churchill has always done his own way, and British politics knows this.

Although he was cursing, Churchill kept thinking.

How to solve the current problem.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Eduardo, tell me what to do?"

"As long as China promises not to go to war with us, we should make concessions or retreat, and retreat or retreat."

Halifax answered directly.

It is not because there are many criticisms of the "appeasement policy" in the UK that it will suddenly become tough.Halifax, as foreign secretary, just speaks his mind.In the current situation, facing a big country like China, it is necessary to make concessions.

Churchill squinted at Halifax.

Halifax didn't do much either, looking directly at Churchill.Churchill watched for a while, and found that Halifax had no intention of retreating, so he said, "Eduardo, do you think China really dares to go to war with our British Empire?"

"meeting."

"Why are you so sure?"

"It is human nature to take advantage of the fire, and it is the nature of a country."

Halifax opened his mouth and said: "Now that the European war has resumed and the coalition forces have suffered a disastrous defeat on the European continent, it can be said that our country is at its weakest. China has 30 troops in Tibet and Yunnan. 80 million troops can be assembled in China. How could they give up such a good opportunity? Now the leader of China is a 'dictator', and he is also a 'dictator' who was born as a general who leads troops to fight. Such a person will not Let go of such a good opportunity. As long as we refuse, the Chinese army will definitely invade Burma and India."

Churchill took a cigar from the table and lit it.

He took two breaths and said: "Keep the mainland, everything is possible. Some short-sighted idiots even proposed to evacuate the mainland, such people should be shot. Give it, if you want it, give it. As long as China does not start a war, give it to them. Damn, why aren't China and the Soviet Union at war yet?"

"Before Prime Minister Chamberlain thought of using the League of Nations to mediate the border issue between China and the Soviet Union. Award those disputed areas to China and provoke a war between China and the Soviet Union."

"Then why wasn't it implemented?"

"We have been discussing a security agreement with the Soviet Union some time ago. At that time, we never thought of turning against the Soviet Union directly. Moreover, China withdrew from the League of Nations. In addition, Germany and Japan provoked too many things during that time, so there was no further discussion."

"Stupid, can't even figure out what is important."

Churchill did not give Halifax face in the front.

Swear out very directly.

Halifax is really angry, Churchill is really not a man.But Churchill was not in the mood to care about this, so he immediately said: "The Soviet Union attacked Finland, which is an act of aggression. A meeting of the League of Nations was held to expel the membership of the Soviet Union. Then the judgment on the disputed areas between China and the Soviet Union was passed, and all those disputed areas were assigned to China. I'll see if China accepts it."

"it is good."

"Let's deal with it. Don't worry about the current war, deal with these things first."

"Chairman, just received the news. Italy has declared war on Britain and France, and the Italian army has entered France."

"Mussolini was so smart, he really chose his timing."

Duan Xun smiled.

On June 1939, 6, nine months after Britain and France declared war on Germany, Italy declared war on Britain and France.It can be said that it is long overdue, but Duan Xun appreciates Italy very much.

What is a treaty? It's just a piece of paper.It is a treaty to say that this thing is useful, and a treaty to say that this thing is useless is waste paper.

Benefits are eternal.

During the First World War, Italy was at the two ends of the snake and mouse, and it had its own way between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers.The camp chosen in the end was good, making Italy a victorious country, and enjoyed the treatment of a victorious country for 20 years without much effort.This time is the same, although it signed the "Triple Alliance Treaty" with Germany and formed a military alliance.But seeing Germany singled out these countries on the European continent, Mussolini must have been terrified, so he has been silent and quietly observing the development of the situation.After all, Germany singled out so many countries in Europe, and singled out the two world hegemony countries, Britain and France.But seeing Germany's ease, the crackling solved Britain and France.Moreover, France has reached the brink of collapse, and the time has come for Italy to wait, so it immediately declares war and prepares to pick the fruits.

"Yes."

Several people present nodded.

Because Italy will really choose opportunities.The British and French allied forces began a series of consecutive defeats in Norway, and were chased by Germany with heavy casualties.It was not easy to withdraw a lot of troops in Dunkirk, but the overall situation has been settled, and the British and French troops in the European continent are already in the past.Because the German army had completely bypassed the Maginot Line, leaving the main force of France behind.The French troops are also very funny. The German troops have already bypassed them, but they are still guarding the Maginot Line, motionless.Watching the German army march straight in.

France can't keep it.

Paris has been declared an "undefended city", and the provisional government has sent people to negotiate with Germany.In other words, France has already lost.At this time, Italy suddenly declared war on Britain and France, and then troops entered France, trying to take advantage of the fire and loot some French land.

No matter how you scold Italy, Italy's ability to see through every stitch is worthy of recognition.
