Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since the British government fled to the United States, Roosevelt and Churchill met a lot. They got together every now and then to discuss matters related to the Allies and the Allied Forces. Especially after the Australian War began, they met almost every day.

    But after not seeing each other for more than ten days, Churchill appeared in front of Roosevelt as if he had become a different person. His originally plump and strong body had almost lost weight, and his big, red and oily face had turned into a completely different person.  There were wrinkles on his face, his face was gloomy, his eyes, which were originally bright, were covered with red bloodshot eyes, dull and dry, the bags under his eyes were swollen, and his whole person was sluggish, with no trace of vitality in sight!

    Roosevelt was greatly surprised and hurriedly said hello, "Mr. Prime Minister, why have you been feeling unwell lately?"

    After greetings, Roosevelt felt a little regretful. Didn't he ask questions knowingly? The war in Australia was extremely miserable, and almost all the British troops were on the Australian battlefield. As the Prime Minister of the British Empire, he had ambitions and great ambitions in his heart.  Churchill, who was determined to restore the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, suffered a blow that was beyond human acceptance. He was not only uncomfortable physically, but also mentally!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????Roosevelt didn't know what to say. He comforted his old friend with a few words. What could he do if he was neither salty nor bland?  The comfort is profound, isn't it even more shocking to have to uncover Churchill's inner pain and scars?

    "Hahaha!" Churchill smiled bitterly and replied: "Thank you very much, President, for your concern. My health is quite normal!"

    Roosevelt curled his lips imperceptibly and said to himself: "You are going to die at any moment. Your body is not much stronger than mine, is it normal?" Then he remembered the current situation of the United States.  He couldn't help but feel sad, and the look of sadness and pain in his eyes was fleeting.

    Churchill keenly caught the strange look in Roosevelt's eyes. He came to see Roosevelt today because he had something important to discuss, and he didn't intend to talk in circles.  Then he said: "Mr. President, I came to see you today because I have something important to report!"

    "A big deal?" Roosevelt couldn't help but be stunned.  He looked at his old friend suspiciously, "What big things are there in Britain right now?"

    "You and I are old friends. Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, just say it." Roosevelt's face.  He put on a smile and said kindly.

    "It's about the British Empire government!" Churchill looked at Roosevelt's face and said solemnly: "After careful consideration by the royal family and I, the British royal family and government are ready to leave the United States and go to West Indies to establish a provisional government!"

    "Mr. President, you know the situation. Britain fell into the hands of the Germans. All the people of the British Empire never dare to forget the great cause of national restoration. This is also the only task of our cabinet. Therefore, the provisional temporary  The government can just call on British people from all over the world to jointly contribute their own efforts to the great cause of national restoration and strive to make a comeback!"

    "The West Indies will be the base for the restoration of the British government in the next few years. Of course, we will not forget the American government and people, especially Mr. President, who gave us the best when the British soil was lost and the royal family and government were in exile in the United States.  Her Majesty the Queen has specially entrusted me to express her highest gratitude to Mr. President for your family-like care and strong support!¡±

    After saying what he wanted to say in one breath, Churchill felt inexplicably relaxed and looked at Roosevelt calmly. As for what was hidden behind this calmness, only he knew best. In fact, these words were very difficult to say.  Others are definitely not so shameless!

    Especially now, when the United States is facing strong military pressure from the three Axis countries and is always on the verge of annihilation, it has proposed to go to the West Indies to establish a provisional government. No matter how you look at it, it leaves behind the precarious United States.  , meaning to run away by myself.

    In fact, this was Churchill's plan. He was an old and cunning politician. The British Empire was ruined and his family was ruined. The war in Australia lost all his last bit of capital. Although he was mentally and physically exhausted, he did not lose his ability to observe and judge. The current situation in the United States  , is definitely not a safe place, let alone a haven for the royal family of the British Empire and the government-in-exile. Under the strong military pressure of the three Axis powers, the United States is like a giant ship about to sink.

    That smart man, under such circumstances, would have to sink with the ship if he did not hurry ashore or find a way out. Churchill saw clearly that with the current national strength of the United States, it would definitely not be the opponent of the Germans and Japanese.  Even if the United States does not perish in the end, it will definitely be weak. Under the hostage of Germany and Japan, it will be difficult to regain its former strength. Is there any need for such a United States to continue to stay?

    Relying on the United States, which after the war was unable to make decisions on its own and looked up to Germany and Japan, the dream of restoring the British Empire could not be fulfilled.?It is completely shattered. Therefore, it is the wisest decision to leave the model and face the war-torn United States. Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster is one of the most basic qualities of a politician and has nothing to do with morality!

    As for choosing West Indies as the seat of the Provisional Government of the British Empire, there was no choice. Originally, Churchill's wishful thinking was to establish a Provisional Government in Australia. However, after the Australian War, although the Allies and the Allies suffered miserably, the British Empire  Even worse, they lost without even having any underwear left, so West Indies became the only option.

    Churchill was reluctant to choose to be neighbors with the Chinese he hated most, and he was even more unwilling to do so, but he had no choice. At least, the West Indian region is now much safer than the United States, and it is enough for the British government, which is dependent on others, to take a breather.  , slow down, after all, West India is vast and is still Britain¡¯s own colony, so it feels like being a master no matter what!

    It was Churchill's own decision to move the British royal family and the government-in-exile to the West Indies. As for the royal family's opinion, it didn't matter at all. It was just a name. He didn't even discuss it with Her Majesty the Queen. He firmly believed that his decision would be of great benefit to the British Empire.  The future has far-reaching significance. Guilt, morality, etc., all seem insignificant in the current national interests. I am a politician, not a soldier!

    Roosevelt was silent. He had no reason to let the British stay in the United States, but deep in his heart, there was irrepressible anger and sadness. Whether Churchill's action was betrayal or abandonment, it didn't matter. He was also a politician.  , knowing that Churchill was facing a critical moment of life and death in the United States, it was the right thing to do. I understood Churchill, but emotionally I couldn't accept it!

    "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married!" Taking a deep breath, Roosevelt suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart, and suddenly a Chinese saying came to mind, and he said in a calm tone: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister's decision is a very wise one.  Yes, on behalf of the U.S. government, I would like to provide whatever assistance I can to help the British royal family and government move to the West Indies. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you have any specific difficulties?¡±

    They were all veteran politicians, good at turning things around. Even though in their hearts, they already regarded the British as a bunch of stinky shit. On the surface, Roosevelt would never speak harshly to him. Whether it was Churchill or himself, in his heart  They all know very well that I am afraid that from now on, the brotherly relationship between Britain and the United States will no longer exist and become strangers, but they still have to be graceful and generous!

    "This" Churchill, who was always known for his shamelessness, became rarely embarrassed and said coyly: "There are indeed practical difficulties. Mr. President, you are also aware that the Pacific Ocean is now completely blocked by the Japanese navy.  , it is impossible to go to West India by sea, so we can only take the land route, taking the route of the Allied reinforcements on the Australian battlefield! "

    "However, this route is within the sphere of influence of the Chinese Tang Qiuli. As you also know, the relationship between Britain and Tang Qiuli is not friendly. Therefore, I implore Mr. President, in the name of the US government, to inform the Chinese government  , arrange all matters for the British royal family and government to travel to the West Indies!¡±

    Roosevelt was completely speechless. He admired Churchill's psychological quality and shamelessness. At the most critical moment, he abandoned his allies and even his savior and ran away on his own. He also asked the people he betrayed to arrange an escape route for him.  , is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world?

    At this moment, Roosevelt definitely had the urge to curse, and he really didn't want to continue talking to Churchill, fearing that he would be angered to death, but he still said calmly: "I understand what the Prime Minister is thinking, okay, I will arrange this immediately.  , Prime Minister, please wait for the good news! Sorry, I have an important meeting to attend, so I'll excuse you!"

    Churchill said goodbye first and left. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to put honey on his lips and thank Mr. President profusely for his selfless help to the British royal family and government. Anyway, there is no cost to say some words of thanks.

    Seeing this old friend, now a stranger, leave without looking back, Roosevelt's expression was painful and complicated. He closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, called over the White House Chief of Staff Joelna, and ordered:  "You call immediately and ask Secretary of State Christine to come to my office. I have something important to explain!"

    Tang Qiuli, who was commanding the **** division in Yangon, found that he had become a busy man. After the German head of state Hitler sent two telegrams, the U.S. government sent another telegram, stating that it was sending a special envoy and that the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff would fight.  Robert, the minister, came to Yangon to inquire about his intentions.

    When Tang Qiuli read the telegram from the U.S. government, he was first shocked, and then felt quite absurd. The Americans actually begged him to transfer the "Sky Eye" radar technology, or the finished product, to the U.S. military. Was Roosevelt too sick to be confused?

    "If you are in urgent need, seek medical treatment!" Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered this sentence, "God"Radar technology or finished products will definitely not be given to the Americans. If the Americans reverse the situation of the war because they obtained the world's most advanced new radar, wouldn't they be thinking about hitting a wall?"
