Chapter 1101
The news that the Eagle Sauce was defeated and surrendered, and President Roosevelt was escorted to Berlin quickly spread throughout the world.
This kind of decisive major event on a global scale is impossible to keep secret.
As the main battlefield of the world war at this time, the existence of the Eagle Sauce bought a lot of time for other countries. If the Eagle Sauce had not tied down a large number of German troops, millions of German elite soldiers might have appeared on other battlefields!
Therefore, all countries were generally shocked and uneasy about the news of the Eagle Sauce’s defeat and surrender, because they were all worried that after killing the Eagle Sauce, would the Third Reich look for new targets to attack?
And those countries that might become the target of the Third Reich’s attack were obviously even more worried about this news!
……
South Asia, the capital of the British Empire, New Fog City.
The news from North America immediately caused a commotion in the British Empire.
People generally felt a little uneasy. They were driven out by the German army along the way, so they had a very strong psychological shadow of the German army in their hearts. They were afraid to the bone!
Therefore, when they thought that the German army had ended the battle in North America and could free up their hands to attack them, the British Empire began to panic.
“Everyone, ahem, I believe you… ahem… have heard the latest intelligence from North America. I won’t say anything extra. Today, I will gather everyone together to discuss how to deal with the latest situation!”
Because the news had such a big impact, King George V had to come out to preside over the situation.
Since the capital was moved to South Asia, King George V’s health has been getting worse day by day.
Maybe it was because he missed his homeland, maybe it was because he was not used to the local climate, or maybe it was because the hot and humid climate in South Asia made him feel uncomfortable.
King George V suffered several serious illnesses in succession after the capital was moved, and he lost dozens of pounds. In addition, he was over 60 years old. After the serious illness, he not only lost a lot of weight, but also his hair turned gray. It was as if he had entered old age from middle age overnight.
In view of this, the British government would not bother him most of the time. After many things were discussed by Churchill and the cabinet members, they would report to him at most, and then they could execute them with his consent and approval.
This time, it involved the life and death of the British government, which was of great importance. King George V could no longer sit still. Even if he was not feeling well, he stood up with the wounded soldiers.
“Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!”
The ministers began to worry when they saw King George V’s pale face and constant coughing.
This was a time of trouble. If the old king had any physical problems, it would be even more troublesome. It would take a long time for the new king to ascend the throne, which would take up a lot of energy. Moreover, several of King George V’s heirs lost contact during the war, and it was unknown whether they died in the war or were captured by the German army.
If it was the former, it could only be said to be a tragedy, but if it was the latter, it would be a huge hidden danger. Once King George V died, the children of the king captured by the German army would likely jump out to compete for the throne.
You know, there is still a sun that never sets in the land of the sun. If this really starts a dispute, the legitimacy of the sun empire will be even more confusing!
So whether it is from the perspective of many years of friendship or out of concern for the future and destiny of the country, at least at this moment, most of the people present do not want anything to happen to the king. At least, at least he should hold on until the end of the war before dying!
“Thank you all, I’m fine, ahem, let’s continue the meeting!”
King George V felt very relieved to hear that everyone’s concern was indeed from the bottom of their hearts.
It seemed that he was still very popular in the hearts of his subjects, otherwise how could they care about him so much?
“General Montgomery, you are a representative of the military and a military professional. Could you please analyze whether the German army will launch a new attack on us after ending the war in North America? If there is a new attack, how many troops may the German army dispatch? What is the threat to us? Can we resist it?”
Churchill asked all the questions that everyone was most concerned about in one breath! Right now
, the British Empire is fighting fiercely in Australia and the Foot Basin. With its current strength, it cannot withstand the pressure of fighting on two fronts.
So if the German army really launches an attack on them in the west, then they must immediately withdraw troops from Australia to reinforce their defense.
“I think this possibility cannot be ruled out!”
Montgomery knew everyone’s concerns, and also knew that under such circumstances, what he said would determine the response measures of the British Empire for a period of time.
So he maintained a more cautious attitude and answered
“Oh, really?”
“As expected, it seems the military thinks the same as we do!”
“Imperialism is determined to destroy us. Why is the Third Reich always staring at us like a ghost?”
After hearing Montgomery’s words, everyone present complained, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall became more depressing.
Churchill noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly winked at Montgomery.
Montgomery wanted to pretend that he didn’t see it, because he really didn’t want to say such things.
But the pressure from the prime minister and the frustrated expressions of other ministers made him feel that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he had to stand up at this time.
“Don’t panic, the situation is not that bad yet!”
Montgomery coughed lightly and said
“Eh? Really? Does that mean the Germans won’t attack us?”
“Is that so? That’s great, we don’t have to withdraw our troops from Australia!”
Seeing that everyone was like a chameleon, sometimes sad and sometimes happy, Montgomery didn’t know what to say
“I don’t mean that the German army won’t send troops!”
This statement must be denied, otherwise if something happens in the future, all the responsibility will be pushed onto himself, and he can’t bear such a responsibility!
