Chapter 462: The Lord and the Sect
General Montgomery is the one who opposes negotiation the most. In his opinion, the victory of the British Empire for hundreds of years was obtained from the battlefield, and was exchanged for the soldiers of the three armies of the British Empire. They must get their honor back on the battlefield. If they negotiate with China in this way, they would fall into the trap of China. Unfortunately, they need him on the battlefield. They don’t need this guy in politics. What they need are those who can bring decent to the British Empire. Especially at this time, the British Empire cannot fall behind from the First Group. Now many people say that the United States and China are the first group in the world. Where does this put the British Empire’s face? In their opinion, the United States and Britain should be the United States and Britain. Why can China join the First Group? And it is the position of the British Empire.
General Montgomery silently closed the door of Prime Minister Churchill's office. This door probably would not be opened for him soon. General Montgomery spent a whole morning hoping to convince Prime Minister Churchill to continue to send more troops and let General Montgomery fight with China. However, Prime Minister Churchill did not listen to this guy finish his plan and rudely interrupted General Montgomery's speech and asked him to go back and prepare a defense plan immediately. In the near future, he did not launch an attack on China's positions. In addition to the huge cost of casualties, Prime Minister Churchill was also under tremendous pressure. According to Prime Minister Churchill's idea, it was the same as General Montgomery, but the British royal family and the top leaders of the British Parliament did not want to continue fighting. They did not want the whole of Britain to become a ruin.
During World War I, although Britain also participated in it, and many battles took place and lost a lot of money, Britain was still much faster than France, because Britain was not a ruin, and when France fought against Germany, it almost turned into a ruin. If we continue to fight now, even if the British Empire achieved the final victory, what would it be like? What is the difference between winning in a wasteland and not winning? Everyone has become accustomed to enjoying happiness. How can we return to that difficult life now? The British Empire has accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation to have today. It is not enough to be bombed by the Germans, and it has to be bombed by the Chinese!
Montgomery raised his head helplessly and looked at the dim sky. In addition to the bad air caused by the battle in recent times, major British factories have also stepped up their horsepower to produce with all their strength, which has also led to even worse weather in the local area. If Mao Yuanshan was here, he would know what this weather is called. This is the smog in China in the future, but it will appear in the British Empire in advance.
This gray weather made Montgomery feel very uncomfortable. In fact, the weather is secondary. The most important thing is that he has no strong backstage. General Montgomery was able to come to power because of Prime Minister Churchill's appreciation. Now Prime Minister Churchill has almost given up on him. As long as he adopts a policy of peace talks, the generals in their army will be left behind, and political politicians will be the most important.
Montgomery was sitting in his car, thinking about what Prime Minister Churchill said to him just now. At this time, there is indeed no way to fight against China. Britain's industrial production capacity, because the routes in the Birmingham area, has been reduced to 60% of its strongest moment. Speaking of which, they are not much different from Germany, but they have the support of the United States. Now Germany and China have strengthened the battle in the Atlantic Ocean. The arrival of each American merchant ship represents the sinking of another American merchant ship. The American merchant ship has almost reached a sinking rate of 50%. This is the first time in American history, much more powerful than during the First World War, which has also made the US shipbuilding industry step up to manufacture merchant ships.
For American shipbuilders, it is really not enough at this time. On the one hand, they have to speed up the completion of major orders from the Navy Department, and on the other hand, they have to manufacture these transport ships. They originally thought that the losses of transport ships were not that high. After the Navy strengthened escort, the losses of transport ships had almost dropped to the lowest level. Who knew that when the Chinese submarines joined in, their losses were even greater than before. It can only be said that the escort ability of the US Navy was not as good as the attack ability of the Chinese submarines. Apart from this explanation, they could not think of any other explanation.
In addition to this matter, Churchill also told Montgomery that a more important thing was that the security team had begun to build large airports in the Birmingham area. The specifications for the construction of the airport were to take off and land the B17 heavy bomber. Everyone knew the transportation capacity of the security team. Once they were asked to build the airport, at least hundreds of aircraft would have to stay there. By that time, the entire UK would be within their bombing range. Although the British themselves also had heavy bombers, could they fly to China? Of course, it was impossible. They could only park there and watch. So if they were more heavy bombers than China, they would still be the ones that were lost. As long as they got up, they would throw the bomb down with their eyes closed, it would cause huge losses to the UK.
This reason is also a major reason for the British government to negotiate, especially the British royal family represented by King Edward III of Britain. They absolutely do not want the British land on which they rely for their survival to become a ruin. The Germans did not bomb the palace and other areas during the bombing. That is because everyone is European and at least they have to leave a face. But if the Chinese bomb, it is hard to say about those places. China has no friendship with them. If the Chinese recall it carefully, then only hatred will be left! The British entered their royal gardens back then. If the Chinese did the same, they would probably not be able to save a series of royal palaces such as Buckingham Palace in the UK.
So at this time, the British adopted the strategy they thought was right, that is, to negotiate with China. If China can meet its requirements, and when Britain recovers in the future, it will start a war with China again. However, this is their dream. Only God knows whether the war can be started.
