Chapter 823 (2/2)
Whether it comes from outside, or from within his party or government, the hope he can see is increasingly dim.
”Gather ships, take all ships, anything that floats on the sea, all... Send them across the Strait, withdraw our troops.”
Churchill can only put his hope on himself and bear all the pressure.
They want to fight and resist. Peace is never achieved by negotiation. But in his heart, Churchill inevitably wavered.
If they really can't win, where will he take Britain?
At this time, no one can believe in anything. Originally Churchill was firm, but his confidence is being destroyed by his own people.
May, it all starts in May.
After another frustrating and exhausting cabinet meeting, Churchill sat in his study all night.
It's just what he thinks. In fact, when his wife pushes the door in, it's only midnight.
”Honey, you have guests. Visitors are here.” Mrs. Churchill turned on the light and stroked her husband's old face with some old hands.
He looked so haggard, as if he put the burden and pressure of the world on his shoulders.
”I'm... I'm not in the mood... I'm not... Seeing any guests.” Churchill also had a severe stuttering, and the pressure weakened his old self-control.
”Who is it?” After that, Churchill was somewhat curious about the visitors.
”Your Majesty.” Seeing him pick up his spirits, Mrs. Churchill turned and walked to the door.”Your Majesty?” Churchill was still a little confused. After a long time of meditation, he recovered completely. He murmured, ”of course, our majesty.”
”Churchill, I'm sorry to disturb me so late, but in fact, your wife, thinks it's the right time tonight.” George VI came in through the door.
”When, of course, yes, would you like a drink?” It was Churchill's way of expressing intimacy, and it was important for him to have a drink.
”I met a lot of people tonight And the gentleman next to me. ” Said George VI to the people next to him.
It was not until then that Churchill saw that there was a man standing beside his majesty, and that he was no stranger to that face.
”Charles Marquis Lee It's a pleasure to meet you at this time Churchill's expression was like a roller coaster with a bright light in the dark.
Charlie Lee, the American super rich, energy tycoon, real estate developer, arms giant, food and medicine giant, the most successful Chinese in Europe, America and even the world.
”I am equally honored, your excellency.” Li Zitao took off his hat and said with a smile on his shoulder.
”Gentlemen, let's sit down and talk about it.” Seeing Churchill's grip on his hand, George VI had to cut in.
”Oh, yes, would you like a drink?” Churchill is here again.
”No, there are more important things waiting for us to do.” Li Zitao sat next to George VI, smiling and waving his hand.
”Mr. Churchill, my wartime cabinet prime minister, heard that the possibility of peace talks was greatly increased.” George VI took the lead in speaking.
”The wartime cabinet drafted a letter to Mussolini asking him to act as our intermediary for peace talks with the dwarfs.” Churchill's voice was a little hoarse.
These days, the huge pressure, in vain to come to the door, but also with Li Zitao's attitude of George VI, let him a little confused.
