Chapter 181 Resolve Churchill

“Brigadier General Victor said that the most incredible thing about you is that you predicted the direction of the Pacific War.” Churchill pushed the glass to Lin Yue: “The Battle of the Coral Sea, the bombing of Tokyo, and the Battle of Midway Island and the Battle of Alamein on the North African battlefield. You said one by one, this strategic vision is not something a captain can have.”

“No, you are now a lieutenant colonel. You are the fastest promoted officer I have ever seen.”

Lin Yue raised his glass and took a sip of wine.

“This is not the native whiskey of United States, this taste… Johnnie Walker of Scotland.”

Churchill put down his glass: “Mr. Lin also has research on whiskey?”

“I drank some at the airport where Brigadier General Victor was stationed last year. I remember its taste. It was rich and smooth without losing its sweetness. I heard that it was a royal wine in the British Empire. After Lin Yue finished speaking, he glanced at Churchill, “Yes. Mr. Prime Minister’s favorite brand, have a drink early in the morning, and you will be refreshed all morning. ”

“Haha, it seems that Mr. Lin has a deep understanding of me.”

“Of course, what I admire most is a person like you who is brave and brave enough to face it. Amidst the appeasement of the British Empire’s political arena, you are the only one who has always advocated being tough on the **, and you have suffered a lot from it. Criticize.”

Churchill took another sip of wine: “Mr. Lin came here today, not just to talk about my hobbies and past events, right?”

“Mr. Churchill, I made a special trip to visit you this time, hoping that you can condescend to go to New York to meet with the first lady in order to strengthen and consolidate the friendship and unity between the Chinese and British people.”

Churchill glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Yue said: “I know that there are many misunderstandings between you and the first lady. In fact, this is caused by the different cultural and social backgrounds of the two countries. Many people are dissatisfied with the British Empire. Because of the social background in East Asia, most people cannot understand the subtle differences between you and Prime Minister Chamberlain in stand and proposition. Coupled with your consistent tough style, the first lady has a lot of misunderstandings about you. And the dissatisfaction caused by misunderstanding.”

Churchill still did not speak, but looked at him with a smile.

Lin Yue continued: “When the Maginot line of defense was lost, the torrent of steel drove in, the British and French soldiers retreated steadily, and the appeasement faction in your government stepped forward. You picked up the phone and talked with President Roosevelt on the other side of the ocean. After a long talk, when you ask the United States government for help with a complicated heart, you hope that the brother countries of your compatriots can support some destroyers and are rejected. Even the P-40 fighters you paid for have to find a way to transport them back from Canada. In the British Isles, I don’t know what your mood was like, anger? Resentment? Disappointment?”

“When the Anglo-French coalition forces who were retreating on the front line fled to Dunkirk, and there were not enough warships to evacuate them, you called Brigadier General Nicholson and all the soldiers of the 30th Infantry Brigade in Calais, ordering them to fight the army to the last minute. When you won the first line of life for the British and French forces in Dunkirk, when you know that the Big Brother of the little girl who telegraphed you can no longer go home because of your orders, Mr. Churchill, will you be depressed, lost, and hate yourself? ?”

“Later, the territory of the Axis countries became larger and stronger, and the United States government’s attitude was loosened. It was not until the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor that they made up their minds to join the war. I wonder if you are sitting on the toilet while smoking a cigar. While drinking whiskey, would you curse “These stupid hillbillies finally made a correct decision.” Would you think that if there is no British Empire to withstand the German attack? Facing the German-Japanese-Italian combined fleet, United States How can you compete with the Axis powers?”

“Back to the issue of China and Britain. Prime Minister Chamberlain implemented the policy of appeasement and was ambiguous about the Japanese invasion of our country. When we hope to get solidarity and support from your country, what we get in return is just watching, indifferent, and even indulging. If you Is a Chinese person, will he be angry, resentful, and disappointed?”

“When the land of China fell nearly half, Japanese imperialism showed its fangs to Southeast Asia, and the interests of the British Empire were threatened. China and Britain announced an alliance. My expeditionary force went out of the country and went to Burma to fight against Japan. What happened? Your army? I gave up without contact with the Japanese army, and our expeditionary army became the main force to cover the main force of the British retreat. How many people died in foreign countries, and even gave them no chance to collect their bodies, Mr. Churchill, if you are the leader of China, would you? Blame yourself, sad, frustrated and lost for this situation?”

“The Japanese didn’t care when they captured the Northeast, and they only realized it when the guns of the Japanese were on their foreheads and repented of the past. In the face of the British government’s repetitions, if you are the leader of China, would you curse “this group of arrogant and arrogant people” The guys, have their brains finally opened up? “Will you think that if China falls, or if you are like Thailand, you are willing to be a rung of the Japanese army, and use the material and labor of East Asia to supplement the Japanese army, and Burma, India, and Australia will quickly become the Japanese occupation zone? At that time, what did the British Empire use to fight the war of attrition with the German and Italian forces that almost conquered the European continent?”

Lin Yue looked at Churchill and said, “We have all experienced the difficulties you have experienced. We have all experienced the pressure you have endured. We have all the emotions you have experienced. So you should be the one who understands us best. people.”

Churchill drank the wine in the glass in one sip, then went to the front of the wine cabinet to pour half a glass, holding the glass and said: “The idea is clear, logically organized, good, very good, you will be a good speaker.”

Lin Yue shook his head: “I am here to see you, not as a lobbyist, but to ask for your help.”

“When the King of England lacked trust in you, the soldiers on the frontline retreated steadily, and the appeasement factions in the cabinet members stepped forward, asking you to accept Mussolini’s mediation and peace talks with the **, where did you go at this critical juncture? You went to the London Underground Station. You talk to the miners, to the bricklayers, to the weavers, to ask them how well they have been recently, to ask them what they think about this war, and to ask if they have won this war Confidence, ask them what everyone will do when the enemy appears on the street. You listen carefully to their answers and regain confidence in their answers. You are a prime minister who loves and respects the people, and they give you back, It is a feat of Dunkirk’s great retreat, and a chivalry spirit that will never admit defeat.”

“And now, in the distant East Asia, there are such a group of respectable and trustworthy people who are fighting with the British people on the forefront of the anti-Chinese war. I sincerely hope that you can condescend to visit New York, not for the first lady or Someone in power, but for the kind and respectable group of them on the land of China.”
