In a small bar in London, the old man Greif is drinking with two officers of the British Navy. The supplies throughout London are now scarce, except for the bar owners who have a wider access, and wine and food can still be supplied in sufficient quantities.
"I heard that the German has landed?" The old man shook the wine glass in his hand and said to the friend next to him, the submarine captain a few days ago, "The world is so uneven ..."
"A few days ago, I was ordered to attack the German transport routes by sea, but was chased by the destroyer, so I wasn't able to return." The captain of the submarine sighed and said with a trace of dissatisfaction and grudge: "Not everyone can have Good luck like the Odin. "
"The situation on the front line is not good, some important information has been rushed to Liverpool, I heard that it will be arranged to ship to Canada." The officer in charge of technology said: "The king ordered that all scientists and technicians , You must report to the government and be ready to leave here at any time. "
"The plan you mentioned a few days ago has begun to be implemented?" The old man Greif asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, the king and the prime minister ordered the implementation of the" silent mourning "plan to rush all war resources to Canada, including supplies and technical personnel, drawings, scholars, art, and gold."
"Everything is really ... I don't want to defeat the Germans. The escape plan was executed so quickly." The submarine captain was obviously dissatisfied with the above arrangement. This cowardly escape behavior made him disdain.
The technical officer spread his hand and said: "Of course the frontline troops must think about how to win the war, but as the leader of the country, they must consider how to deal with the worst situation."
What else can you do? Part of the British royal family has fled to Canada, and part of it is preparing to go to the Indian Ocean. Only the immediate family members of His Majesty the King often attend public events in the UK. They have said more than once that they want to coexist and die with the British mainland, but almost no one can know. The British royal family will eventually take a submarine to take refuge in Canada.
The war is expanding and British troops in North Africa are attacking the Italian troops and the North African colonies controlled by the French government of Vichy, but another French North African force under Charles de Gaulle was ordered to join the British camp, two of which belong to different French governments. The troops fought on the African battlefield, and North Africa was in full swing for a while.
Turkey is continuing to send its own troops to the Middle East. Although the preparations for the war are still insufficient, and it is not determined to board the German thief ship, as a ground snake in the Middle East, Turkey ’s actions still allow the Middle East oil region ’s Britain The defender was terrified.
On the battlefield of China, Japan still remained indifferent to the Soviet Union, but its ground forces, with the cooperation of the navy and air force, captured Guangzhou in China, and confronted the British defenders in the Hong Kong area. What made the British shocked was that Japan landed in Vietnam. Announced the formal independence of this French colony.
"Is the British royal family really planning to escape this way?" The old man Griff didn't seem to believe that the British leaders would easily give up the British Isles.
"Otherwise what can I do? Ireland has already frowned with the German government. It seems that we have reached a consensus on some cooperation. Naturally, we will not easily give up in the northern mountains, but how to stick to it is not yet a specific plan." Technical officers drink After a sip of wine, he sighed and said, "We don't want to retreat, but I heard that the Germans have occupied Norwich ..."
"What? Norwich lost it?" Griff was shocked, and quickly begged the submarine commander on the other side: "Boy ... can I arrange a boat to Canada? I have sold some assets these days. Open another small bar over there ... "
"The boat is there, and it's not difficult for you to keep up with Canada ... But you don't know, the German submarine activity on the route recently is very rampant, I worry about your old safety ..." The submarine officer thought for a while Replied.
"I can pay a lot of money, if it's not possible, warship?" Mr. Greif is a rich man, so he looks more greedy and afraid of death.
"Look at what you said, I heard that you know the Naval Personnel Department ... Could you please trouble the old man, help me make a line, talk to me, and let me go to Canada with my family ... I heard that a submarine is needed there too "It usually looks honest, with a patriotic stubborn submarine captain, but he said a soft word that made the technical officer almost spray water.
"It's no problem, I'll leave with Weiqi on your submarine ... Isn't that a problem?" Greif patted the technical officer's shoulder and said, "We are ten years old and no one can leave. Who ca n’t drive it. If it ’s not John ... "
"Don't say it, it's an honor for him to give up his life at the head of the national crisis. Honor the little John!" The three men raised their glasses and paid tribute to the destroyer captain. The commander of the destroyer named Little John died in the North Atlantic two days ago. He was sunk by a German submarine at night and disappeared into the icy water with his own warship.
While three people were toasting and drinking together, another corporal named John's London Air Defense Command was sitting in the air raid shelter where he was sitting on the mattress facing two grenades.
This is a self-defense weapon issued to the citizens of London by the London Defense Command, but everyone knows that these weapons are not used for self-defense, but rather used for the same purpose as the German invaders. It's just that John can't understand why they and the Germans have reached such an endless end. Doesn't the convention say that civilians have the right to be protected?
You can hear someone sobbing vaguely. After all, not all people are willing to die unclearly. John didn't know what other people thought, he couldn't understand it anyway, why His Majesty the King has no meaning of peace talks until now. Could it be said that the war is now what it is now, is there any chance of victory in Britain?
London is almost in ruins. I heard that the German army had landed near Norwich. Presumably, even if the war was won, the British might have nothing left in the end. Why should we continue to fight this situation? John didn't know or wanted to know.
"If, I mean, if the Germans hit London, you must live with your children! I die enough alone, I die alone for the country and our family, nothing. Two different things ... "John looked at his thin wife and whispered:" You want to help us raise our children, do you understand? "
His wife did not speak, but wiped her tears silently. Not far away, Mrs. Mary was holding her husband and weeping silently, and there was a sad atmosphere in the entire bomb shelter.
These days because of the weather, a few days ago, because the Luftwaffe bombed Norwich and concentrated its troops, London was not patronized by bombers, but the city is no different from the ruins, so it lives in the basement and air raid shelter. There is no difference in living in the rubble on the ground.
John covered the sleeping child with a quilt, then gently kissed the foreheads of the two little guys, got up and walked to the aisle outside Mrs. Mary's family. A few words, then put the two grenades that Mrs. Mary had placed on the pillow and got up and walked out with John.
"I'm trying to find a way to send my son to Canada ..." The officer lit a cigarette and didn't shy away from John. He said directly: "If things can succeed, it depends on these days ... I have such a great ability." , There is no way to piggyback on your family. "
"Thank you ..." John also knows that not all things can be smoothed out by his own backer. The days when he was able to be bombed in London were not so bleak, and it was all thanks to this benefactor. So he knows how to be grateful and nods his thanks.
"It's really nice to meet you at such a bad time." The officer stretched out his palm and shook John's palm: "I submitted a report today to promote you to sergeant, Help me take care of my wife these days, I will try to help you get a position, at least let one of your children follow Mary on board. "
"Thank you! Thank you for your help!" John felt a glimmer of hope immediately. He smiled and thanked, and his eyes were filled with tears: "If, Your Majesty the King asked me to be faithful to Britain, I can die, but My children and my wife should not be responsible for this war, they should be alive ... "
The officer sighed: "The truth, that is the truth, but who will tell us the truth about the officials above and the Germans?"
He said while pointing at the ruins in the distance: "A huge London, as long as there are hundreds of stupid people who feel that they are patriotic and can die with the Germans, as long as they sound the grenade and cause casualties to the Germans, you think the Germans still Will the rest of the British be spared? They will only shoot and kill all the targets they find dangerous, forcing the other British to fire grenades ... this is a cycle of sin, until one of them is dead. "
"My God ..." This time, short-sighted John only knew what kind of dead end he was facing. Those malicious officials, the so-called British elites, used such a way to make them deeply in love. The common people of the British Empire have flu and blood only to let them win an illusory "victory".
"Victory? Victory!" In his heart, John cursed fiercely.
