Churchill's inauguration as Prime Minister was very simple. On the same day that George V approved Asquith's resignation, he moved out of the Prime Minister's Office, and Churchill began to perform his duties as Prime Minister.

The entire cabinet remained, and Churchill became Prime Minister as Secretary of the Admiralty. However, Churchill's main focus was on the defense of his homeland. His first order after taking office was to further expand the army, strengthen training, and prepare for battle. Construct defensive positions in major cities and transportation nodes. In the places where the Germans could land on the coast, build shore defense positions and prepare for the coming war.

Churchill also sought the support of the royal family, and on the evening of his assuming of the prime minister, he went to Buckingham Palace to make his point clear to George V.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the British Empire. Despite their best efforts, the Royal Navy was defeated by the Germans. So, we could no longer stop the Germans from occupying the entire ocean. In the foreseeable future, the Germans will also launch an attack on the mainland of the British Empire through the sea. Churchill said.

King George V nodded, but he was still a little haunted by the Royal Navy's fiasco. After all, the Royal Navy has been the most powerful navy in the world for hundreds of years. In order to ensure this status, Britain has always spared no effort in investing in the Royal Navy. In order to ensure that the Royal Navy remains strong. The British Empire is an island nation, and the strength of the Royal Navy is of paramount importance to them. But they didn't expect that even in such a situation, they still lost in the end.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don't understand why the Royal Navy lost and lost so badly?" George V asked.

Churchill seemed to have anticipated that George V would ask this question, and he had already figured out how to answer it.

"Your Majesty, the main reason why the Royal Navy has failed is that there is a fundamental problem in our shipbuilding ideas. The British Empire has the largest number of colonies in the world. And these colonies, in turn, are scattered all over the world. So, in order to protect these colonies, we need a large number of warships with high endurance, high speed, and firepower. This makes the construction of our capital ships always adhere to this idea. All capital ships value speed and firepower, and despise speed. The Germans, on the other hand, paid more attention to defense, that is, the survivability of warships in naval battles. This makes their warships very strong in naval battles. It is precisely because of this that their warships can exert extremely powerful power in naval battles. Our warships, after being hit, will be heavily damaged. The German battleship, on the other hand, suffered only a little wound at most. In such a situation, it is natural that we suffer even more. Churchill said.

"Damn! Why is there such an error? Shouldn't the construction of battleships be fully demonstrated? George V was furious. It is precisely because of such mistakes that the future of the British Empire has been buried! Otherwise, the British Empire would still be the most powerful country in the world, and it would never have fallen so easily.

George V vented his anger and calmed down. He also knew that the battle had already been lost, and there was no point in pursuing this issue now. After all, history can't be repeated. Even if we understand why we failed now, it is impossible to recover those sunken battleships.

"The other point is that the Germans are far ahead of the British Empire in the use of new technology and new tactics. Their planes, already able to take off from battleships and drop bombs and torpedoes, attack surface warships. In this decisive battle, we lost more than a dozen capital ships under the attack of German aircraft. The French and Italians surrendered because they were frightened by the planes of the Germans. It is because of this that we lost this naval battle. Churchill continued.

"It seems that we also need to develop the aircraft in a big way. The scientific and technological strength of the Reich was no worse than that of the Germans. If we hurry, we should be able to catch up with them. George V said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. That's not the most critical issue, though. The most crucial problem is that we must resist the German attack in the next war. It was foreseeable that if the Reich refused to surrender to the Germans, they would inevitably launch an attack on the Reich itself. And that gave us a chance. If we can withstand the Germans' attack and let them suffer heavy losses in the war. Perhaps, they will give up on destroying the British Empire. When the time comes, the British Empire will be at peace at very little cost. That would be the best outcome for the British Empire. Churchill said.

George V nodded: "Your Excellency, I also hope that we can withstand the attack of the Germans. So, you just let it go. I will fully support you! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Churchill was very pleased to have the full support of King George V. In this way, he will be able to mobilize more power.

"Your Excellency, will we be able to withstand the Germans?" George V was still somewhat worried.

"Your Majesty, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to resist the attack of the Germans. However, we are fighting on our own soil, and we also have a big advantage. If God forbid, it is not impossible to withstand the German attack. I promise that we will do our best in the next battle. Churchill said.

George V nodded in approval.

"Your Majesty, we must prepare for the worst at the same time. If the battle is lost, I hope that Your Majesty will be able to go to Canada. We will try to transfer the wealth of the empire as much as possible. In this way, we can continue to fight the Germans in Canada. Even if the homeland falls, we will not compromise with the Germans. I am confident that under the wise leadership of His Majesty, we will be able to defeat the Germans in the future. Churchill said.

If this is not possible, leaving the UK and heading to Canada is a better option for George V. In that case, at least I don't want to be the king of a dead country.

This made George V very satisfied with Churchill's performance and willing to fully support Churchill's home defense plan.
