Chapter 456: Churchill's Determination and Roar

"At such a grim time...... It could be a critical juncture for the survival of the country...... I ...... to my people Whether at home or abroad...... Convey...... The news...... We have been forced to be embroiled in an even more dangerous bombardment...... We must protect ourselves, protect our country...... We will win! ”

"Therefore, the 'rocket artillery coast' set up by the German army in northwest France and other places, we must completely destroy it, no matter what the cost is, we must try to destroy it!"

Then King George VI couldn't bear it, and finally called Churchill, who was restless, the most important decision in his heart, and said loudly.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Churchill, who was distraught by the massive bombing of the German army, immediately responded briefly.

"Good! Then you will come to my palace, and I will go with you and my wife Elizabeth to London to inspect the most bombed areas, and the British people there! I want to preserve and ensure that the prestige of the royal family in the public will not be ruined by this great German bombing! ”

Then King George VI continued to give orders to Churchill.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Prime Minister Churchill replied briefly.

"Good! Come to me! I'm going to send my Royal Guard out and go out to inspect the bombing site and comfort the civilians! ”

Hearing the other party's respectful voice, King George VI also nodded with satisfaction in response.

He immediately dispatched his tall black bearskin hat and red uniform; Handsome in appearance and in a loud voice; And the elite "Royal Guards" who serve the safety of their monarch, which is the most famous British Royal Guard in Britain.

There were now less than 3,000 infantry left in the entire Buckingham Palace, as the rest of the British Royal Guard had been deployed to fight the Germans on the Western Front.

Especially after the defeat of the Battle of Sicily, King George VI of England reluctantly dispatched elite royal guards such as the "King's Janissary Regiment (i.e., the Armored Reconnaissance Regiment)", the "King's Blue Regiment (i.e., the Tank Regiment)" and the Palace Honor Guard Cavalry Regiment to Tunisia to wait for Montgomery to fight against Germany.

After receiving a call from King George VI, Churchill also hurriedly took a secretary and hurried to Buckingham Palace in a car.

On the way, Prime Minister Churchill has been thinking about how to mobilize more troops to deal with the German army.

In particular, he was able to borrow the prestige of King George VI, although he had already agreed with King George VI that he had agreed to mobilize 12 million men for the war, with a total force of 5.4 million.

But now we are only halfway through the plan, and we still need to work on it.

However, he is still very confident in the current British troops, because before the war against Germany, Britain had more than 10 battleships, several battle cruisers, 6 aircraft carriers, more than 50 cruisers, hundreds of destroyer troops, and almost 60 submarines, which was about the same strength as the US Navy.

After the start of World War II, Britain began to accelerate the development and production of more advanced ships, and has now equipped more than 60 aircraft carriers; Among them, more than 30 have been built by themselves, and more than 30 have been leased from the United States, which can be said to be several times more than Japan's ships and aircraft carriers in the Pacific.

Therefore, the British Navy during World War II was definitely the second largest in the world except for the United States in the midst of a major outbreak, and even Japan had no way to compete with it.

Moreover, the current British Air Force has also followed Churchill's death order, and desperately produced and equipped more than 200,000 aircraft, only 4 heavy strategic bombers have 60,000, Spitfire and Hurricane are the world's top fighters, and even their Meteor jets, and the "Attacker" carrier-based fighter, known as the "prehistoric monster" of the jet age, have also been successfully developed and produced, which Japan is far from being able to compare.

Because in the face of such a strong aviation force in the United Kingdom, the urgent need for pilots and aviation fuel is beyond the reach of many countries.

If the British Hugh Pillmarin "Brown Swift" fighter, the Hawker "Hunter" fighter, and the Gloucester "Javelin" fighter could all be developed and produced in advance, I am afraid that even the US Air Force would have been thrown off a street by them.

So after having such a powerful and well-equipped British army, Churchill's irritable heart was still a little calmer; But now the thing that gives him a headache is the British army units.

Because Britain took the route of elite soldiers, the number of troops was not large at all before the war, but their weapons and equipment were the most advanced, the most sophisticated, and the most mechanized; It is also a well-trained elite unit with good logistics and air support, and its strength is similar to that of the Royal Guard.

And now the British Army has produced and equipped more than 3 tanks, as well as more than 500,000 vehicles.

Moreover, there are many advanced and excellent individual combat weapons, including rocket launchers, anti-tank guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons and equipment, and of course, heavy artillery and artillery with fierce firepower are also in full swing Large-scale production.

Especially when the major cities in Britain were bombarded by the German army's large-scale V2 and V1 rockets and missiles for 10 days, and air raids, the British high-level leaders were even more determined to resist Germany to the end, especially under the firm combat determination of King George VI and Churchill's iron wrist means, so the development and production of these weapons and equipment were even more uncontrollable, and the production of these weapons and equipment was even more uncontrollable, and the production of large-scale overtime was carried out.

Moreover, it also encouraged more British people to join the army to prepare for a home war.

Therefore, the British Army units at this moment are not vegetarians, especially the 8th Army Group, which Montgomery has rigorously trained, is even more elite among the elite.

As for the British army in Southeast Asia in history, they suffered heavy casualties by the Japanese army, lost their armor and retreated; That's because the focus of the First British Army at that time was not in Southeast Asia, because Britain's strategic direction was in Europe.

Moreover, there are not many British regular troops deployed there, probably only more than 100,000 people, and there are many second- and third-rate colonial troops; For example, the Indian army, and the Burmese army, etc., and Southeast Asia is far from the British mainland; So logistical supply is also a problem, so the outcome of the battle can be imagined.

However, the strength of the two corps of Canada and Australia in the British army is not weak, and its strength is no worse than the elite troops in the British mainland.

"Strength! Everything is strength, and I will never be defeated by Hitler so easily! ”

"I will make Britain rise again and become a glorious colonial empire!"

As he was about to arrive at Buckingham Palace, Prime Minister Churchill clenched his fists and muttered ambitiously.

Although Churchill was only 50 percent confident about whether the British Empire, which was gradually declining, could continue to regain its glory, he was ambitious at this moment and determined to get what he wanted.

Not long after, he entered Buckingham Palace to meet King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.

As expected, not long after he entered, he heard that the German V2 rocket and missile group had once again broken through their London fighter group and bombed the city with various air defense nets.

As a result, the sound of deafening explosions resounded throughout the city of London.

"Hitler, you wait for me, I will definitely find a way to bomb your Berlin into scum and ruins!"

Hearing the roar that seemed to shake the earth, Churchill couldn't help but laugh and roared hoarsely.

It's a pity that his roaring voice was bombarded by more and more violent V2 rocket swarms; and the sound of explosions was drowned out, and not many people heard it.
