"Churchill bomb vests? This is ridiculous! Who would put on a vest full of explosives and die with someone else? This kind of thing is not useful at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 🔥 And, why should I name it after my last name? ”

At 10 Downing Street, Churchill, who was about to leave for a meeting with US President Roosevelt in Akinsha Bay, Newfoundland, received a report from MI6 on Afghanistan, which mentioned a strange weapon named after him - Churchill already knew that MI6 was secretly working with German and American agents in Afghanistan.

Of course, the British Prime Minister also agreed to this kind of cooperation, after all, Britain, the United States and Germany have the same interests in Afghanistan, and they all want to make trouble, so there is nothing that cannot be cooperated. Moreover, the Soviet Union was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even if Britain, the United States, and Germany colluded to make it bad, it would be difficult to stop the Red Army from liberating Afghanistan.

Kandahar was captured by the Soviet Red Army on April 23, and the fall of Kabul was a matter of days, and the Royal Government of Afghanistan had moved to the precarious Panjhi Valley a few days earlier, where it was ready to fight a protracted war for a long time.

Under such circumstances, if Britain, the United States and Germany do not pinch their noses and cooperate, the day when the red flag will be planted in Afghanistan will not be too far away.

"Prime Minister, this is not what we named, it was named by the Germans......" Admiral Diere, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, shook his head in confusion, "I really don't know how the Germans could have thought of such a crazy weapon?" ”

"That's because they knew that the war would end in a crushing defeat for Germany!" Churchill snorted, "If Hitler and Hersmann don't want to go to the gallows, they'll have to put on this bomb vest for the last resistance." ”

Fat Qiu paused, and then asked, "Is there any other important news?" ”

Foreign Secretary Eden frowned and reported, saying: "The new Pope of Rome has been elected, and it is the former Austrian Cardinal Theodore. Inzeniel, called Mark II. ”

"I already knew it was him," Churchill snorted, "did he issue an encyclical against us?" ”

"Not yet, but sooner or later." Aiden sighed.

Mark II was clearly a German-backed pope, had always been pro-Nazi, and now, of course, he was looking for the British Empire. And the British plane did kill the previous pope......

"Prime Minister, it is estimated that after the Pope's encyclical is issued, Spain will take advantage of the situation to declare war on us," Aiden said. ”

Spain is a country with a lot of Catholic power, and sending bombers to drop bombs to kill the British who blew up the Pope is undoubtedly the devil of anti-Christ in the eyes of devout Spanish Catholic believers! Therefore, after the martyrdom of Pius XII (being killed by the devil's bomb, of course, is martyrdom, and will be canonized after a while), all the pro-British factions in Spain did not dare to speak, otherwise they would be suspected of being an accomplice of the devil and the Bolsheviks!

Therefore, there was no obstacle for Franco to lead Spain in declaring war on England at home, and he now believed that Germany and Italy would win.

"We don't have to wait for them to declare war," Churchill snorted, "and we break off diplomatic relations with Franco's government and recognize Juan. Negrin's Spanish Republic-in-exile government. ”

The Spanish Republic's government-in-exile was the republican wing of the Spanish Civil War, who fled to France after the defeat of the Civil War and fled to Mexico City after France's surrender.

Churchill went on to say: "So that we can help the Spanish government-in-exile to recover the Canary Islands." ”

Britain had now occupied Madeira with the tacit approval of the Portuguese government, but Spain had assumed the posture of defending the Canary Islands, deploying planes and a lot of ground there that it seemed not so easy to take down. Therefore, the British did not move the Canary Islands immediately after occupying Madeira, but mobilized their troops to prepare for a landing battle.

By late May 1941, the British had assembled an infantry division in Madeira, and had deployed a large number of Wellington bombers and Bristol 'Beaufort' torpedo bombers, as well as P-51 fighters with a larger range. Already capable of attacking the Canary Islands, now it's a short excuse.

In addition, the British defense of the Gibraltar Peninsula has been much stronger than in March, with more than 30,000 defenders, and a number of mobile deployable 7.2-inch howitzers (183mm) and 25-pounder field guns (87.6mm) have been added.

"What about Crete and Tubruk?" Churchill asked again with a frown.

"Nothing has changed yet," replied Admiral Diere, "but there are rumours that the Greek crown is in secret contact with Germany to prepare for surrender, and if they do, it is likely that the Greek army on Crete will surrender with them......"

Crete and the fortress of Tubruk had now become two isolated strongholds, almost isolated, and the British had no other way to get there than to venture there by submarine. Naturally, there was no talk of reinforcements, and we could only watch as the British army there became weaker and weaker because of the siege, and finally became prisoners of Germany and Italy.

"Make a plan to disarm the Greek army on Crete when the Greeks surrender."

After giving the order, which seemed difficult to fulfill, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill left his prime minister's residence and boarded a train to Liverpool. He would transfer to the battleship "Prince of Wales" in the port of Liverpool and head to the Agin Xia Bay on the other side of the Atlantic to have a historic meeting with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Although the British Prime Minister was traveling on a formidable battleship to the Gulf of Akinsha, surrounded by gray and desolate landscapes, the meeting took place aboard the Augusta, a treaty cruiser with a standard displacement of less than 10,000 tons.

Because the President of the United States "Roosevelt" flew on this slender American heavy cruiser.

The Prime Minister of the British Empire had to meet the President of the United States aboard the Augusta, and then Roosevelt would return to the Prince of Wales. Such an itinerary seems to have shown that the status of Britain and the United States is completely different from that of the last world war.

At 11 a.m. on June 1, Churchill, accompanied by Marshal Pound, First Sea Lord, boarded the Augusta. Roosevelt in his son James. With Roosevelt's support, he stood on the deck of a heavy cruiser, looking tall and mighty. Roosevelt shook hands with the chubby British Prime Minister, who was a head shorter than him, in front of a large group of reporters. The British Prime Minister, dressed in a blue navy uniform, bent over his back, looked up at Roosevelt solemnly and happily, and did not look like a number one person. So much so that the reporters who took pictures of them couldn't help but think of the word "changing of the guard" in their hearts.

The concept of the "changing of the guard" is exactly what President Roosevelt wanted to convey to the American people through the meeting in the Agin Haw Bay -- it is now the United States, not Germany, who will lead the world instead of Britain!

And after the reporters' photographic work was over, the standing president of the United States immediately reverted to his lame appearance, got into a wheelchair, and was pushed by his son and Churchill off the back deck.

The formal talks will be held in the officers' lounge of the "Augusta", and the core content of the talks is only one thing, that is, the entry of the United States into the war!

If the United States, the candidate for world hegemon, wants to "take up the post", then a bloody war is indispensable, otherwise the world will be ruled by Germany. And the United States, as the world's second largest "economy first," will not have a good life in the future.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think you know very well that we could not have defeated Germany without the entry of the Soviet Union into the war."

After the greetings between the two sides, the American president went straight to the point about the important role of the Soviet Union.

Roosevelt then told Churchill, "I have had Stalin invited, but he is not willing to come with us to discuss the defeat of Germany." In fact, he didn't pay any attention to me. ”

Unlike the situation in history at the time of the "Akinsha Bay Meeting", the Soviet-German war has not yet broken out. And Germany and Italy also won the Mediterranean War and gained control of the oil-producing regions of the Middle East!

So now it is the United States and Great Britain that are begging the USSR, not the USSR begging the United States to save their lives.

"The initiative is in Stalin's hands!" Churchill smoked his cigar and said, "But without Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union would not have been able to defeat Germany." "If Britain loses India now, then the British, who support a compromise with Germany, will become the majority." ”

Roosevelt nodded, he understood Churchill's distress. Although Churchill was determined to fight to the end, the British people did not necessarily have such thoughts. Once Britain was sure to lose the world empire, then they would not have the morale to fight any longer.

"Okay, the USSR can't invade India! We will unequivocally convey this opinion to the USSR. Roosevelt nodded and said, "If Stalin insists on going his own way, then he will have to face the Germans alone in the near future." ”

He paused for a moment, and then added: "Stalin asked us the United States to enter the war first, and then the Soviet Union to find an opportunity to join." ”

"So are you going to join?" Churchill asked immediately. "Mr. President, you know, the Germans will soon launch a new offensive at sea...... If we can't win, the next battle will be the defense of the homeland. If you can't join at that time, then I, the prime minister, may not be able to do it! ”

Britain is an island country, and it has been founded on the navy since ancient times, if the Royal Navy really kneels, then the morale of the British people will also collapse, how can they still have the courage to fight the Nazi fascist war machine alone?

Roosevelt nodded and said, "I'm trying to push the United States into the war, but it's not easy...... All I can do at the moment is to provoke our enemies and let them provoke the conflict first. That's what I'm here for. ”

"What are you going to do, President?"

Roosevelt said: "I have prepared a Manifesto, a manifesto that is enough to irritate the Germans. (To be continued.) )
