"The Royal Navy is the foundation of the Empire. The next decisive battle between the Royal Navy and the Third Reich Navy is a matter of life and death for the empire, and there is no room for sloppiness. It is understandable that the Royal Navy should preserve its strength before defeating the Third Reich Navy and winning the decisive battle. If a Royal Navy battleship enters the strait and is damaged, it will seriously affect future decisive battles. said Winston

"Yes, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"Sir Dudley Pound immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Prime Minister Winston would ask the Navy to send battleships into the strait. In that case, he would not be able to refuse this order at all.

But the Secretary of War Leslie Bertha was very Not willing to give in.

Those are hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the expeditionary force! Do you just give up like this?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what about the expeditionary force? Are hundreds of thousands of soldiers abandoned like this?"Lesley Bertha asked.

Winston's face was very ugly, but he finally sighed.

"Sir, there is nothing we can do about this. Compared to the expeditionary force, the Royal Navy is more important!"Winston said.

Leslie Bertha nodded, although he was very dissatisfied. But he knew that Winston was very helpless in making such a choice.

There is no doubt about the importance of the Royal Navy.

If the Royal Navy Being able to win future naval battles will undoubtedly ensure the safety of the Empire on which the sun never sets and prevent it from being attacked by the Third Reich.

But if the Royal Navy fails in the decisive battle, the consequences will be disastrous.

The narrow strait can no longer be blocked To stop the Third Reich, the powerful army of the Third Reich will, with the assistance of the navy, land on the mainland of the Empire on which the sun never sets. And can the army of the Empire on which the sun never sets resist the invasion of the Third Reich and defend their country?

At least, after this great battle, the Imperial Army on which the sun never sets will most likely not be a match for the Third Reich Army.

"Well, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I respect the cabinet’s decision!" said Lesley Bertha

"Your Excellency, in addition to dispatching capital ships, the Navy will try its best to help the expeditionary force withdraw to the mainland. However, it is very difficult to say how many people can be withdrawn."Sir Dudley Pound felt a little sorry.

Although there are many conflicts between the Imperial Navy and the Army, they can be regarded as comrades fighting side by side now. The Royal Navy is unwilling to dispatch capital ships to rescue the expeditionary force. , somewhat unauthentic.

Leslie Bertha nodded and said nothing more.

Next, the Royal Navy still actively rescued the surrounded expeditionary force, but because they did not dispatch the capital ship, they were in the Army of the Third Reich. Under the firepower of the heavy artillery force, the losses were huge.

Almost every night during the withdrawal, large ships and transport ships would be destroyed by the heavy artillery force of the Third Reich Army.

As a result, the Royal Navy was able to dispatch fewer and fewer battleships and transport ships.

Three days later, huge losses forced the Royal Navy to give up the rescue expedition.

You know, in these three days of battle, the Royal Navy had lost more than 150 merchant ships and transport ships. If this continues If this happens, the empire's long-distance transportation capacity will suffer a heavy blow.

This will directly affect the overseas trade lines of the empire, especially when it is encircled and suppressed by the submarines of the Third Reich. If the maritime trade lines are because If the transportation capacity is insufficient and cut off, it will seriously affect the domestic material supply of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and even weaken the war potential of the Empire on which the sun never sets. For an island country, the importance of maritime trade lines can be imagined. If sufficient transportation capacity cannot be guaranteed, a series of adverse consequences will occur.

However, this decision of the Royal Navy is undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Army of the Expeditionary Force.

Many expeditions The officers and soldiers fought desperately to block the Third Reich's attack because they believed that there was still a glimmer of hope for returning home safely. For this reason, they dared to fight against the powerful Third Reich Army and fight to the end, even if they could win for their comrades. A chance to return to the homeland is also good!

But now, the withdrawal plan has been stopped directly, which undoubtedly abandons the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force.

This also makes the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force lose their fighting spirit.

Ha. After receiving the order from China, Lieutenant General Rod Alexander even cursed

"Damn politicians! Are they going to abandon these hundreds of thousands of warriors who are fighting for their country? How could they be so shameless?"Lieutenant General Harold Alexander was furious.

In the past few days, only tens of thousands of the entire 3rd Army of the Expeditionary Force had returned home.

The rest of the troops were still surrounded in Dunkirk.

"General, we are ordered to board the ship this evening. Tomorrow, there will be no more ships coming."The adjutant said.

Although the Sun Never Sets Empire has definitely given up on these expeditionary forces. However, the generals and senior officers of the expeditionary forces can still return to the Empire. Therefore, another batch of transportation will be dispatched tonight. Ships and merchant ships came over.

Lieutenant General Harold Alexander nodded:"Okay, let's make secret arrangements and notify the generals and officers to evacuate tonight."

As for the ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, there is no doubt that they can only give up.

"Yes, General!"The adjutant replied.

On the evening of October 11, the Royal Navy evacuated a group of expeditionary forces from Dunkirk for the last time.

The number was not large, only more than 10,000. Most of them were wounded, as well as generals and officers.

As for the expeditionary force The rest of the army was abandoned by the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.

On the evening of the 12th, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force suddenly discovered that no transport ships and merchant ships were coming. And their generals and senior officers were nowhere to be found..

This made the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force realize that they were immediately abandoned.

Countless officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force yelled and cursed the politicians who issued such orders. The hatred in their hearts almost soared to the extreme. At the same time, their will to resist , also collapsed all of a sudden.

On the morning of the 13th, the expeditionary force, which had lost its fighting spirit, collapsed instantly under the attack of the Third Reich Army. They did not have the courage to continue to resist, and directly chose to surrender.

For a whole More than 300,000 expeditionary officers and soldiers entered the prisoner-of-war camps of the Third Reich. This war also came to an end._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
