Chapter 815: Smell the crisis (1/2)
Cairo, across the Nile River, is majestic and majestic. It is the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of the entire Middle East. This ancient city has now become the focus of attention all over the world.
The hot climate makes people feel quite uncomfortable, but after all, it is many times better here than in the submarine, so that Queen Elizabeth has been breathing, breathing, as if trying to drive the endless diesel in the lungs. The taste is the same.
In a car, Churchill and George VI are discussing.
”General Wavell was missing during the Battle of Tobrug, so now we appoint General Okinlake to succeed him as the commander-in-chief of the British Middle East Army. At the same time, we send General Montgomery with tank troops to support. Now General Montgomery is the commander of the main Eighth Army.” Churchill was analyzing.
Aukin Lake was appointed by Churchill himself, and Montgomery led the most powerful British army, so now, their safety should be no problem.
While talking, the convoy has entered the city of Cairo. In a modern building in the city center, it is the British Command.
Claude John Aukinlake was born in Aldershot, England in 1884. At the age of 12, he entered the famous Wellington College in England. In January 1902, he was admitted to Sandhurst Royal Military Academy. After graduation in December of the same year, he went to serve in India.
After that, Aukin Lake's life history was mainly spent in India. He once participated in World War I. Before serving as the commander-in-chief of the Middle East, he was the commander-in-chief of India.
He is a tall general with a burly figure. Now, his rank has become general, promoted by Churchill.
”Your Majesty, Mr. Prime Minister.” Okinlake greeted them at the door: ”You have worked hard all the way.”
The queen has already taken her two daughters to the house. They now need to take a comfortable bath and then take a good night's sleep.
”General Aukinlake, the situation in Britain is not optimistic right now.” Churchill said: ”At this critical juncture, when you can see people's hearts, your loyalty to the empire will be written in history.”
Churchill can only use this kind of national righteousness to talk about it now. I have fallen here, and I am still waiting for the army from the Middle East to counterattack and return to the British mainland.
Upon hearing this, the expression on Aukinlake's face was quite intriguing.
Churchillton was a little stunned, he didn't want the worst to happen.
”We are here, we have held a banquet to welcome the king and the prime minister to escape safely.” Okinlake continued.
In a blink of an eye, he walked into the banquet hall, inside, there were already countless fine wines waiting for them.
A well-known general present was all paying tribute to them. Churchill glanced around and asked nonchalantly: ”Why didn't I see General Montgomery?”
