Chapter 639: The New Prime Minister (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Prime Minister Asquith and Lloyd? George and the two, staring at each other with big eyes. Both of them are very resolute and unwilling to compromise and retreat. This makes it impossible to go any further.

Prime Minister Asquith is determined to resign as prime minister, unwilling to take responsibility for the sinking of Britain. And Lloyd's? George was even more reluctant to carry this black cauldron. This makes it impossible to resolve the contradictions.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, why don't we find a new successor to the Prime Minister. In that case, you can resign as Prime Minister, and I don't have to succeed as Prime Minister. "Lloyd? George said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded, and it seemed to be the best thing to do. However, others are certainly not fools, how could they jump out and take over the post of prime minister at this time? Isn't that asking for trouble?

"I'm afraid that no one in the cabinet wants to take over the post of prime minister, right?" Prime Minister Asquith said. It is precisely because of this that he wants to make Lloyd? George took over. After all, Lloyd's? George also served as deputy prime minister, and it was his duty to take over as prime minister. But who knows Lloyd's? How could George be so cunning? Would rather resign than take over as prime minister.

"Your Excellency, others may not be willing to take over the post of Prime Minister. However, I think there is one person who would definitely like to become prime minister. "Lloyd? George said.

Prime Minister Asquith frowned, but soon, his brow relaxed. He already thought of Lloyd's? Who is George talking about? At the same time, he also thinks that it is indeed a very good candidate for the first succession.

"Lord Churchill wanted to continue to lead the British Empire to continue fighting until the Germans were defeated. Then, if he can become the Prime Minister of the British Empire, then he will be able to carry out his plans more easily. I don't think he would refuse to be the Prime Minister of the Empire. In this way, it is also good for us. As soon as that's not possible, we'll leave the UK and head to Canada! "Lloyd? George said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "Well, in this case, the possibility of Churchill succeeding him as Prime Minister will undoubtedly be very large." George, go back first, and I'll get Churchill over at once and talk to him again!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Lloyd's? George couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the hot potato of the prime minister's post is not handed over to him, he will thank God for blessing.

As soon as Churchill returned to the Admiralty, a call came from the Prime Minister's Office, telling him to go to the Prime Minister's Office immediately, and the Prime Minister had something important to discuss with him.

Although, this made Churchill a little confused. But he drove to the Prime Minister's Office again.

When Churchill arrived at Prime Minister Asquith's office, he found that Asquith was already waiting for him.

"Your Excellency, is there anything else?" Churchill asked.

"Your Excellency Churchill, I have thought about it for a long time, and I personally admire your persistence. Everyone thought that the British Empire had no chance left, and that it had lost confidence. However, it's very rare that you're willing to keep fighting. I also sincerely hope that you will succeed. Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, thank you for your support. I promise that I will do everything in my power to fend off the Germans. Churchill said immediately. With the Prime Minister's endorsement and support, his plans will undoubtedly be easier to implement.

"But, Lord Churchill. I'm sure there will be a lot of trouble ahead. You are dedicated to the country, but there will be many people who do not understand. Besides, you're the Lord of the Navy. The navy suffered an unprecedented defeat in the naval battle with the Germans. This makes other people even more reluctant to believe you. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of people who will disobey you. Prime Minister Asquith continued.

Churchill nodded repeatedly, even though he didn't know what Prime Minister Asquith was saying this for. However, he had to admit that Prime Minister Asquith said that he was embarrassed.

"Your Excellency Churchill, I have decided to give you my full support!" Prime Minister Asquith continued.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Churchill rejoiced. With Prime Minister Asquith's support, the pressure on him will be much less.

"I have decided to submit my resignation to His Majesty the King. And the person who will take over my post as Prime Minister is you. In my opinion, you are the most suitable person. Prime Minister Asquith said suddenly.

Churchill was dumbfounded, he had no idea that such a turn of events would occur. Prime Minister Asquith actually wants to resign and let him take over as prime minister.

Churchillton had the feeling of being hit by a pie. After all, the post of prime minister is a huge temptation for anyone. But then, Churchill knew that nothing so good would happen in the world. With a little thought, he knew Prime Minister Asquith's intentions. Obviously, Prime Minister Asquith is not optimistic about the next war, so he wants to pick a pick.

However, the position of prime minister was very important to Churchill. If he can become Prime Minister, then he will be able to lead the British Empire's military and civilian forces in the name of righteousness, and continue to resist as he demands. In this way, no one will be able to disobey his orders, and no one will dare to disobey him. This will be necessary to resist the German attack in the ensuing war.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this ...... That's too surprising to me, isn't it? Churchill said.

"Your Excellency Churchill, this is something I have thought deeply. Please don't say no, because you are the best candidate for prime minister. Prime Minister Asquith was afraid that Churchill would refuse, so he hurriedly said.

Churchill thought about it, and finally pretended to be very embarrassed and accepted Prime Minister Asquith's proposal.

Seeing Churchill nod, Prime Minister Asquith was overjoyed.

Early the next morning, Prime Minister Asquith went to Buckingham Palace to meet King George V.

Prime Minister Asquith formally submitted his resignation to King George V. George V is desperate to hold on and hopes that Prime Minister Asquith will retract his resignation. However, Prime Minister Asquith's attitude was very resolute. Seeing this, George V had no choice but to allow Prime Minister Asquith to resign.

As for the successor, Asquith recommended Churchill. George V did not immediately nod his head, because as is customary, should be done by Lloyd's? George came to take over as Prime Minister. However, when other cabinet members supported Churchill as prime minister, George V did not insist.

In this way, Churchill miraculously became the trusted prime minister of the British Empire.
