Just a few days ago, the German offensive on the British fronts such as Dover and Portsmouth was still smooth sailing, and they were advancing all the way, capturing many cities on the island of Great Britain.

But things began to turn around when London was in a hurry, Churchill and his troops were about to be overwhelmed, and fear and darkness were gradually enveloping the British Isles and all the British people.

Just the day before, Churchill was still dreaming that a heavenly soldier would come down to earth, God forbid, and send a super-strong force to attack Germany on behalf of the British Empire.

But no one expected that the next day, the Soviet Union would launch a fierce attack on the defensive positions of the German Eastern Front, and the Soviet troops on the Soviet-German border launched a large-scale attack on Germany from the middle and southern fronts of the northern front in three directions.

Moreover, the attack was so rapid, it is clear that the Soviets have been planning for a long time!

At this moment, people all over the world were dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, the "myth of invincibility" of the German army was broken by the British Army, which the Germans had always looked down on, on the African battlefield, which surprised countless people.

What's going on? A few days ago, public opinion was still overwhelmingly propagandizing the "British Empire in a desperate situation," but the atmosphere suddenly changed to a "Third Reich in a desperate situation."

Eventually, when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill learned of the news, he almost jumped off his desk with joy.

"Hahaha......! The good days of the Germans are short-lived, and we are finally waiting for a turnaround! Churchill roared in his office so loudly that anyone who passed within 20 paces of him could clearly hear his laughter.

Indeed, Churchill had waited too long for this news, although only six days had passed since the German landing, but these six days were a tormenting time in his life.

It is not an exaggeration to apply this word to Churchill.

Fortunately, Churchill finally waited for the good news he wanted.

Although the German army concentrated most of its forces on the Eastern Front at the beginning, only a small part was invested in Britain, and on the British battlefield, Reinhardt did not even send a single famous German general under his command.

On the side of the Allies, the only famous general was General Weigand sent by the French.

Moreover, in the general environment, Germany will definitely not let go of Britain, which is already about to collapse, and the German army that was originally used to fight Britain is only about 10% of the army, and it is almost finished.

At this time, the German army should give up the hard-won landing results and the excellent situation and withdraw its troops, unless the entire German high command is collectively demented.

So to put it bluntly, Churchill is actually a little blind and happy, and some long-term British generals have also seen the clues, but they can't bear to break the chubby prime minister's dreams.

Before and at the beginning of World War II, Churchill had always stood a staunch anti-Soviet stance.

After all, the social system of the Soviet Union was different from that of Britain, and European countries, including Britain, were unanimously wary of the sudden rise of this "beast", and even did not hesitate to use the policy of appeasement to connive with Reinhardt to raise a second beast and confront it.

But now that the Soviets are attacking Germany, it can be said that they are on the same front as the British in the general direction.

And Churchill was the kind of person who believed most that "there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests".

Therefore, almost the day after receiving the news of the Soviet attack, Churchill publicly declared: "Don't say that it is the Soviet Union, even if hell comes to invade Germany, I will say a few good words for the devil in the House of Commons".

As soon as these remarks came out, Churchill's position was basically made clear.

The enemy of my enemies is all my friends!

Originally, Churchill also planned to release a tough and optimistic speech to boost morale.

However, when he was preparing the speech, he found that many of the quintessential lines he came up with in his heart had been said by Reinhardt!

It was the classic speech that Reinhardt gave when Germany aided Norway. Except for the different names of the countries in the speech, all the other contents were conceived by Churchill now!

He suddenly felt a little desperate, what is the situation, the content that he has worked so hard to create has been published by others a long time ago?!

No way, the speech still has to be released. In order to appeal to the Soviets, and to convince the British people, Churchill immediately addressed the nation, saying that it was now necessary to cooperate with the former enemy, the Soviet Union: "For the last 25 years, there has not been a single man who has been as consistently opposed to communism as I have been. I don't want to take back what I said, but it's all overshadowed by the scene that is unfolding before our eyes...... Any individual or country fighting against Germany will be assisted by us. ”

Despite this speech, Churchill has tried his best to avoid repetition. But the last sentence: "Any individual or country that fights against Germany will be aided by us." "By accident," Reinhardt had said in the Battle of Norway that "any individual or country fighting against Britain would receive our aid." ”

But there is no way to say, the most inspiring quotes that Churchill can think of have all been said by Reinhardt. He didn't know what was going on, but it was starting to scare him.

Of course, Churchill famously said, "We would like to see the Germans lying in their graves, but we would rather see the Russians lying on the operating table." ”

But these words, it's okay to talk about it in private, but you can't put it on the table?

The words in his heart that were put on the stage, which were exciting, full of positive energy, became plagiarism of someone else's speech by Reinhardt, the German Führer.

Churchill really can't afford to lose the fact that the prime minister of a country has to copy someone else's speech, and even the speech of the leader of a hostile country. Although, he really wasn't the one who carried out the plagiarism.

Originally, Churchill would have been a great speaker, if not a great politician, and his speeches would have been very appealing.

If it hadn't been used in advance by Reinhardt, Churchill would have really wanted to shout: "We will fight, we will fight in the cities, we will fight in the fields and villages, we will never surrender!" ”

Of course, all of the above has been said, so Churchill had to make up a new paragraph: "Although Britain is an island country, our island has vast land and ridges, and we will take advantage of the opportunity given to us by the Soviets to drag down Germany, which is suffering from the enemy!" Reinhardt and the Germans are paper tigers, and as long as we persist, we will definitely be able to win the war! ”

This time, Churchill used his beautiful fantasies to weave a new speech: "Reinhardt has begun to fail, he will definitely be abandoned by the Germans, he will be assassinated by German radicals, his approach will never win the hearts and minds of the people, and justice and hope will always belong to our British Empire!" ”

"In the near future, after we have defeated the Germans who invaded us, we will also help the French General de Gaulle and his troops to counterattack France, conquer Paris, restore the French Republic, and then we will take Germany, take Berlin, and join the troops who oppose Germany in Berlin, and then we will defeat Reinhardt and his German puppets once and for all! Victory will be ours and the British Empire! ”

However, this speech, apart from the usual optimism of Churchill, was not so convincing.
