"Mr. Prime Minister! The night bombing failed... Our plane is returning... The losses are too heavy..." An air force officer lowered his head and reported to Churchill, who had not yet slept.

Just like Hitler in 1945, Churchill began to be unable to fall asleep and became nervous.

He had insomnia all night and began to suspicion of anyone around him. He even considered shooting Cunningham, but finally got back to his senses and canceled the ridiculous order.

"Failed again? Hahaha! The shadow of the Germans is the reason why we failed one after another!" Churchill started to look like he always appears recently.

His subordinates also began to get used to it and waited for their leaders to continue their performances. If nothing unexpected happened, he would then turn all the responsibility on the "shadow" of Germany.

"Hitler! Hitler has laid many spies among us! You don't know! Many of our commanders and many senior officials are spies! They are all Germans! They are all Germans!" Churchill chattered there.

Sure enough, everything was guessed by his subordinates who had been used to it. The other party lowered his head and listened to Churchill's constant nagging.

And what accompanied his nagging... was the burning and explosion plane in the gray sky; the Middle East defenders squatting in the trenches with guns in despair; the young people looking up at the sky behind the English Channel cement fortifications.

To this day, too many British people think that it should be over. Only Churchill is still fantasizing that he can turn the tide.

...

In the British palace, which had been half blown up, the king was looking at Dudley Pound, the commander-in-chief of the British Navy, with a cold look, and asked slowly: "Can the Navy......... stop the German army from landing?"

"As long as the air force can hold the German air force, a naval warship will enter the landing field, it will be enough to wipe out the Germans!" Dudley Pound is very confident in this kind of thing.

Since 200 years ago, the British Navy has been fighting near the English Channel. It has always been the back garden of Britain, so the British Navy also regards this place as their forbidden body.

"If there is a night shelling, victory can be easily guaranteed. The Germans have no reason to die in this situation..." Dudley Pound added this sentence.

In fact, he was more worried that the Germans had not put the bet on the victory in the plan to land in the UK.

The other party was busy booking landing, but it was just the most clumsy trick. In fact, the Germans' real killer move was on the Atlantic Ocean and had already been stabbed out.

The German fleet attacked the British transportation line, wiped out the TC transport fleet, and severely damaged the ck-1 transport fleet, which made the British Royal Navy feel the approaching end of the doomsday.

Because there is a huge gap in force between the navies on both sides, the British Navy does not care about the local fleet failure.

Although the Germans sunk warships such as the Hood did make the British Royal Navy look dull, it is far from shaking its Atlantic sea control.

But the Germans were trying hard to attack Britain's maritime transportation lines. After these transportation lines were cut off, the powerful British fleet might be starved to death and trapped in the local area.

"His Majesty the King, what we are most worried about now is the tactics of the German Navy to cut off our transportation lines." Dudley Pound said in a low tone in the face of George VI.

After hearing the words of his naval commander, His Majesty the King sighed: "God General, can't the navy stop the Germans from being unscrupulous in the Atlantic Ocean?"

"In a short period of time, we will all be passive. There are too few high-speed battleships, which makes it difficult for us to form a tactical advantage over the German Navy." Dudley Pound answered His Majesty the King's question helplessly.

The British Navy owes too much debt, including the disadvantages on carrier-based aircraft and the serious problems caused by the aging of battleships.

These are all hidden dangers left by saving money back then. In the case of Germany, which was not strong in naval power, there was almost no problem dealing with it. But who would have thought that the Germans suddenly changed their gameplay?

Germany, which was originally devoted to the design of old-fashioned battleships, corrected all its mistakes at once and used the simplest combination to create the most powerful combat power.

Just the launch of an aircraft carrier, coupled with the advanced fighter jets and a set of appropriate tactics, the only warships of the German Navy have exerted amazing combat power.

Those new warships that basically served after 1930 could run at a fleet speed of 25 knots on the turbulent Atlantic Ocean!

This made the British battleships with only a fleet speed of about 17 knots and the limit was only 20 knots.

Without the battlecruisers, the British fleet's disadvantage in speed has already made them suffer.

"Prime Minister Churchill... in terms of fighting will, the Prime Minister is still worthy of our respect... But in terms of specific tactics, I still hope that you can think about how to defeat the enemy from a more professional perspective." The king stuttered and said to Dudley Pound.

Continuous failures and rumors about Churchill's mental problems have already made King George VI question his prime minister.

Regarding the farce of the German shadow intelligence force, His Majesty the King has a great opinion on his prime minister. The Prime Minister almost destroyed the entire senior management and made all military operations mysterious.

Sometimes the king didn't know what the ongoing battles were like. Several fatal failures were notified to the royal family later.

The concealed way of action has caused resistance from the royal family and other politicians, and the conservative parties are even more hostile to Churchill, who has always been disliked.

"Let Hamilton...the Duke come to see me... maybe, maybe he can solve the dilemma we are facing now...there are now." George VI sighed again and said to Dudley Pound.

Originally, George VI was a conservative who relied heavily on Chamberlain, and he was the kind of person who did not oppose peace with Germany.

The battle is not good now, so he naturally thought of the tricks he had already used before, asking Duke Hamilton to contact his German friends and play the negotiation tricks again.

Britain was isolated overseas, and even if it was peace, it would definitely retain its complete territory. As long as the price offered by the Germans was not too high, George VI thought it was acceptable.

After the contract is signed, at least some vested interests can be given up, and at least the British decency can be maintained - first appease Germany, and after making up for its disadvantages and having advantages, then find an opportunity to seek justice from the Germans is also a good choice, right?

George VI's plan was actually very wise: Britain could choose to turn to the United States without any pressure at any time and fight with the Germans!

As long as the Americans enter war, no matter how many peace treaties signed between Germany and Britain, they are just waste paper.

When Dudley Pound heard that His Majesty the King of Stammer lifted Duke Hamilton, who had been left behind, again, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

The Germans were indeed very enthusiastic about obeying the peace proposals of Duke Hamilton before, but that was a long time ago.

Since July, Germany has not even mentioned the word peace talks, except for asking Hess to contact Mr. Duke several times.

Germany now seems to have placed Britain in the goal of smoothing out. And because Prime Minister Churchill lacks interest in peace talks, Britain will naturally not actively use the chess piece of Duke Hamilton.

But now... if the Duke of Hamilton goes to the Germans to talk to the peace talks, will the Germans believe it?

You know, the previous peace talks were delayed with a playful scent. This time it was really not easy to exchange for the trust of the Germans...

"The current situation in Germany...even if we negotiate peace with us, the conditions proposed may not be something we can accept." Dudley Pound said helplessly to His Majesty the King.

If he were the generals on the other side of the battle situation in front of him, he would not have been in a hurry to seek peace at this time.

Because once the British mainland is successfully blocked, Germany is even possible to solve the disaster of Britain once and for all.

A servant walked in and came to George VI and whispered to his king: "Mr. Prime Minister is starting to go crazy again! The news of the failure of the air strike made him start targeting Germany's 'shadow' again."

"It seems...we, we can't, we can't count on Mr. Prime Minister..." George VI pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

Then he looked at Dudley Pound and continued to command: "You, go find the Army Commander, I, I want General Montgomery, no matter what, no matter what, guard the Middle East!"

The losses in the Mediterranean have been highlighted. The rubber supplemented by the UK from Southeast Asia and the oil obtained from the Middle East have to detour South Africa before returning to China.

The increased distance and the losses on the way have already made Britain unable to make ends meet. Once Rommel's army rushed into the Middle East, the matter would be really uncontrollable.

Without the oil supply from Iraq and Iran, the UK will be completely passive. Don’t say stupid things like the United States produces oil, because that is American oil!
