The rockets of the German army, as if they were building blocks, made up the last piece. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info gave the German army a strong firepower at once, causing more trouble to the British army.

Churchill and all his officers were now at a loss, they knew that the Germans were now only a day or two away from London, and that the capital of the British Empire was now really at the front.

This means that the German troops have no way to quickly move their troops through the Channel, and if they can, it is possible that weapons such as K5 train guns have already begun to shell London......

At this moment, Churchill was standing in front of King George VI with his commander-in-chief, Sir Deere, to explain the problems caused by the rout of the 1st Army.

"You mean, the German army is already on its way to London?" Frowning, the king of England spoke in a tone that was no longer so friendly.

Now George VI is scolding the street in his heart, because he was originally a wall-rider, not an out-and-out iron-blooded king.

In his thinking, if he can't beat it, he should honestly ask for peace. And Churchill, as well as the Duke of Hamilton and others, played diplomacy and played Germany to the end of the current miserable situation, which in his opinion was completely the work of bastards.

"They stopped about 20 kilometers from London, and our troops are organizing a new line of defense." Sir Dill looked at his Majesty the King and spoke.

The future Queen Elizabeth was still a little girl at this time, and she stood beside her father, looking at several gray-faced ministers, talking about the worst foreign invasion in British history.

"The 2nd Army has abandoned part of its line of defense and is massing towards the London Line. The 3rd Army has been reinforced to the 1st Army, and we are sworn to prevent the enemy from entering London. "Churchill could only make his promise once again to his past Majesty.

It is a pity that now his promises are simply worthless: he promised that the Germans would never be victorious, and now the Germans have won again and again; He had promised that the Germans would not be able to threaten the British mainland, but the Germans were already under the city of London......

Sure enough, hearing Churchill's words, King George VI of England became even more annoyed: "Yesterday, you said that the Germans would never cross Medstone!" But now it's a German city! ”

Originally, the king of England did not have the power to influence the war. The royal family is more often like a mascot, more than a symbol.

But now, when it came to whether his country could continue or not, the power of the king was infinitely magnified, and the country was nominally His Majesty's ......

What he didn't know was that by the time he questioned Churchill, German troops had taken control of many areas and towns along the route of the withdrawal of the 2nd Army.

Many towns were deserted, and many chose to leave with the troops to escape the brutal rule of the Germans.

German forces bloodlessly captured a large area of southern England, including Eastbourne. Now the focus of the German offensive is on one side in Chatham, and on the other hand, along the coastline, all the way to Brighton.

Hough, Worthing...... Along the coastline, German troops would soon be able to occupy Portsmouth. And after occupying it, the so-called English Channel barrier of the British army completely ceased to exist.

"What is the best way now for the Germans to stop the offensive?" Eventually, the topic of the conversation returned to a real problem.

In Britain today, the vast majority of people have begun to waver. Everyone hopes that the war can be ended soon, not that it will continue to persevere.

As long as the German army is willing to withdraw from the British mainland, then Britain is willing to give up most of its colonies, and even willing to give up some naval warships to make all-round reparations to Germany.

Regrettably, from the moment the German landing, the Führer and his top commanders closed all channels of communication. Even if Britain wanted to compromise, there was no way to communicate now.

Germany now seemed to have no intention of negotiating any further with the British, and they were on the offensive all the time, without the slightest delay.

"What exactly do they want? If you want to garrison troops in the UK, just agree! Anyway, they've already called now, haven't they? George VI asked a very real question.

Previously, the British scoffed at the conditions of the Germans demanding that the British mainland be stationed, because it was foolish to abandon the English Channel.

But now that the Germans themselves have crossed the English Channel, it would be complete self-deception to continue to wrestle with the question of whether to garrison troops or not to garrison them at this time.

Therefore, it is in the interests of Britain at this stage to agree to the Germans' terms that they should halt their advance and sign a peace treaty than to fight the Germans.

As for whether or not today's shame will be washed away in the future, and whether or not the field that has been lost now can be recovered, it will depend on the development of national strength in the future.

Defeat in Europe is not a terrible thing, as long as the next war is won, almost all the price paid before can be recovered.

Churchill heard George VI's words and knew that the king, or many people behind him, had already moved to make peace with Germany.

He also had to admit that continuing to resist now was completely draining the country's blood -- the advantage of the Channel no longer existed, the colonies were far away, and now Britain could no longer afford to continue fighting.

"We are trying to restore communication with the Germans in the hope that they will accept our terms for peace talks." Churchill glanced at the Foreign Secretary beside him and explained.

The Foreign Secretary also nodded and introduced to His Majesty: "As long as the German army is willing to negotiate peace, we have many concessions that can make the other side feel our sincerity." ”

In order to satisfy the German army, the diplomatic department drew up a treaty that was enough to humiliate the country. They thought that anyone who saw such a condition would immediately sign the contract.

Britain ceded its colonies of India and the Middle East, recognizing them as permanent German ownership. The treaties signed between Britain and these regions will be transferred to Germany.

At the same time, the British Navy, in order to balance the power between the two countries, was willing to hand over 5 battleships and 20 cruisers, as well as 40 destroyers, to Germany.

This strength is almost the majority of Britain's home fleet. Even counting Britain's H fleet, Britain took out almost half of its savings.

A treaty of friendship and commerce was signed between the two countries, and any German ship in the English Channel was free to navigate.

Britain allowed the German garrison, but the garrison area was transferred to the Wall Peninsula. The area was almost three times the size of the current German occupation zone.

In addition, Britain had tens of millions of pounds in war reparations every year, which was paid until 1951.

Looking at this treaty alone, it can be said that Britain has given all the exchange benefits it can give. If the British were willing to sign the treaty two months ago, it is estimated that Li Le would have considered it.

But on February 14, 1941, the German army had already fulfilled most of the preferential conditions of the treaty with a series of combat operations of its own.

The Channel advantage was no longer there, and the German troops were already only 20 kilometers from London.

The only clause in this treaty that could make Germany feel good was that it could get a part of the British Navy's warships, which could be regarded as gaining a lot of naval combat power at once.

It's a pity that Li Le can't look down on this bit of power now. He preferred to crush Britain and build a new, stronger and more secure version of the Atlantic barrier.

"Then, on the one hand, restore communication with the Germans as soon as possible and give our terms for peace talks as soon as possible...... "George VI felt that he was really an unlucky king, and he lost all the face of his ancestors during his reign.

He looked at Churchill and commanded in a half-commanding and half-pleading tone: "On the other hand, the army should also strengthen its defenses and prevent the Germans from moving further closer to London......"

At this point, he looked at the commander of the army, Sir Diere, and asked, "Is the army capable of stopping the Germans from continuing their offensive until the peace talks are completed?" ”

"With the assistance of the US military, we are forming a new armored division in Liverpool, and the army should be able to hold its own line!" Churchill replied first.

Glancing at Churchill, Sir Dill thought with some dissatisfaction: "You are unashamed to talk about it, if something really goes wrong, I have to bear the responsibility!"

"The Americans' assistance is a little too late now, and although we are building the 1st Guards Panzer Division in Liverpool, it is somewhat too impractical to expect new troops." This time, Sir Deere decided to tell the truth and not save any face for Churchill.

George VI no longer had the energy to entangle with his men, and he had been living in a basement bomb shelter for the last few days, and his health was not very good.

After a yawn and the meeting adjourned, His Majesty left the room with his daughter.

Churchill glanced at Sir Diere, who had just dismantled his stage, said nothing, turned and left. Dill didn't say anything, nodded to the Foreign Secretary, and walked out as well.

The fighting continued, and the British top brass knew they were running out of time to fight each other. There's so much they have to do, like keep Chatham.

Once Chatham was lost, the Germans could attack London from two routes, and the 1st Army would have to fight the German armored forces only in the wilderness, which was a very disadvantageous thing.

The day of February 15, 1941, ended on a busy note for everyone. The sun was slowly setting, and the land of the British mainland was once again covered in darkness.
