Chapter 824 (1/2)
Churchill knew that he was not liked by the king. He had always been hostile and prejudiced towards himself.
Especially in his brother's marriage to the widow, Churchill had chosen to support it. In his opinion, Edward VIII was much better than George VI.
”It seems that Viscount Halifax is right. What do you think?” George VI stood up a little grumpy.
He is not a patient person. In fact, he is burning with anger at this time, and his heart is full of humiliation and anger.
His best friend and cabinet minister suggested that he should go into exile in Canada, where he could form a government in exile, so as to cope with the potentially more complicated situation.
”In fact, I also want to know... Historically, countries that dare to resist will eventually rise, and those who choose to surrender will disappear.”
”Aren't you afraid?”
”I'm scared to death, my majesty... I can't get the support of the wartime cabinet on the issue of Anti Japanese war. I will inform the house of Commons truthfully later today.”
In fact, it was Churchill's idea before, and he was ready to yield in principle and choose what to say, as long as the conditions of the dwarfs were not so harsh.
For example, to disarm Britain, occupy and control British ports and colonies, or Turning the British government into a puppet of NC.
But now, after meeting George VI and Charlie Lee, Churchill's mind has changed, hoping that they can bring him good luck.
Churchill hoped that they would bring him good news, for he had heard enough bad news this month.
”I support you.” George VI said abruptly.
Surprised, he turned to look at him. Churchill's voice was full of disbelief. ”Your Majesty?”
”I support you firmly, and I have to admit that I have some concerns about you from the beginning, but no one in this country is as afraid of you as a prime minister as a dwarf.”
George VI's tone was full of sincerity. In fact, Churchill was not a good man. He was a difficult, mean and difficult old bastard to get along with.
He likes to drink too much, is arrogant and doesn't listen to persuasion. Every second, his thoughts are changing. No one can figure out what his heart is thinking.
He is also lustful and sleeps naked. After taking a bath, he likes to run naked at home. In his words, this is informal.
But... But there is a kind of courage and confidence in him that others don't have, with a strong incitement.
His speech was obviously stuttering, but it was impassioned and orderly because of the change of tone.
He was a born orator, a giant in thought, and sometimes even George VI was afraid.
It's just that now the country needs him.
We need someone who knows that they can't win, but still wants to lead them to victory. This is Churchill.
Moreover, for the sake of victory, for the sake of the country, for the dignity of the royal family, and not to become a disgraced king in exile in the history of the British Empire, George VI gave up a lot.
For example, his face and dignity personally called and invited Li Zitao to come to London.
Seeing that Churchill had not responded, George VI waved his head to Li Zitao and said, ”Charlie!”
”Well, your honor, I hear you are working on a project, the generator.” Li Zitao's tone was sure and relaxed.
”Why are you...” Churchill wanted to ask him how he knew, but when he saw his Majesty the king beside him, he had the answer.
