Chapter 831: Dunkirk Great Retreat


The Windsor Castle, located in Windsor, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, southeast England, is the family castle of the King Roomshaw Dynasty.
However, from today on, these have become history, and Windsor Castle will become the industry of the Grand Duke family in Luxembourg.
Of course, it was claimed to be an asset transfer within the royal family, and the inside castle was bought by Li Zitao for a "big price".
The arms previously delivered, including the CGT and the cruise ships under its name, were all transferred to the Windsor royal family.
In addition to Princess Adelaide's transfer to L.C.A (Lee C. Astor Shipyard), the rest together with the Queen Mary.
Replacing an old castle with tens of millions of assets and arms and weapons seems to be a bit of a ruin, but Li Zitao likes the castle.
The family castle of the British royal family has now become his private property, and it just feels good to think about it.
money?
What is money, not just for spending it!
Besides, besides that, he is not without gains. For example, the Royal Dutch Shell's shares held by the royal family will also be transferred to him at a premium.
This is Li Zitao's private investment and has nothing to do with the series of strategic cooperation agreements reached by Mobil and Shell.
Shell's board of directors has always been full of precautions against him, not wanting to see Li Zitao intervene in Shell affairs in his own name or even be listed on the board of directors.
But in the end he still got what he wanted, more perfect than his plan.
With 7.36% of the shares, Li Zitao became Shell's largest individual shareholder in one fell swoop, not to mention Shell directors, not even himself.
For this, I would also like to thank my dear Majesty George VI. The heritage of the Windsor royal family seems to be quite rich, ‘Are you looking for opportunities to cut some fat and brush down the pot? ’
George VI made up his mind to transfer the family castle to the Grand Duke of Luxembourg because he suffered unbearable humiliation for his dignity.
He was the king of the British Empire and the commander of the most powerful empire in Europe. There has never been a colonial invasion of Britain in history.
Not to mention letting him, the king, flee abroad to form an exile government.
Maybe people in other countries and the royal family can tolerate it, but he can’t. He is different from other royal families, and Britain is also different from other countries.
It is for this reason that George VI changed his mind and turned to support Churchill, and let him call Li Zitao personally for help.
Of course, the effect is also significant.
With the plane and cruise liner sent by Li Zitao, the situation in the British mainland was immediately stabilized. Both George VI and Churchill were full of confidence in the next big retreat.
It is important to know that six 5-ton cruise ships can become aircraft carriers immediately after modification, and it is the best platform for carrying lightning.
But before that, they must first find enough pilots to withdraw the 300,000 troops on the opposite side to the British mainland.
…………
Dunkirk.
The beach is full of frustrated soldiers, patting long dragons on the extended coastline.
The breakwater was full of soldiers waiting in line to evacuate, but there was no longer any hope in their eyes.
The sky is the enemy's interceptor. From time to time, bombers appear above, and shells and machine guns pass by.
Whenever they appear, all that the defeated British and French allied forces can do is to lie down on their heads and pray.
On the empty beach, any escape or evasion is in vain, and it will even attract the attention of the enemy, let the other party give birth to the cat and mouse mentality and ruin your body and mind.
There are fewer and fewer battleships coming from across the strait, and medical ships cannot get close to the beach. The breakwater has become the only way out.
The enemy also knows this, so whenever a bomber appears, they will first attack the breakwater.
The crowded soldiers on top were the best human targets. Cannonballs and machine guns passed by, leaving countless bodies and muddy pedals stained with blood.
Then, the soldiers in the back continued to set foot on the breakwater and looked at the hometown on the other side of the strait with desperate eyes.
"The enemy plane, the enemy plane is coming." Just as the sky lighted up, there was a sharp cry from the observer.
The soldiers lay down on the ground holding their helmets, and some people rushed to escape and hide, but in their view this was completely futile.
Da da da……
The sound of a machine gun blast sounded, and everyone's bodies trembled. Although they knew there was no way to escape, they could not calmly throw it in the face of death.
It's just confusing that this time they didn't feel the trembling of the board and the painful cry of pain beside them.
On the contrary, there was a stumbling of some kind of "click" engine broken above, and the cheering of the sky rang from the beach.
"It's the Royal Air Force, it's our plane, haha, he got rid of that bitch..." the observer shouted excitedly with his fists.
Then from the skyline, more planes appeared in sight.
The streamlined fuselage, handsome appearance, and fast flight speed, like a violent'lightning' gliding from above~EbookFREE.me~The unscrupulous enemy planes that had previously displayed fleeing furiously, several D- The 25 bomber hurriedly dropped the bomb and wanted to run away. The interceptor could no longer take care of them.
But soon they were shot down one by one, circling and falling down on the sea, and louder cheers sounded below.
When six cruise ships appeared in sight under the of more fighters, many soldiers burst into tears with excitement, and they were finally able to go home.
With the assistance of many civilian ships, the soldiers were in turn sent to cruise ships docked not far away.
Dry blankets, hot food, and warm smiles from the waiters made them feel like heavenly warmth.
The spontaneous emergence of more than 800 civilian ships has made soldiers feel the care and warmth from their hometowns.
But more people are filled with guilt and humiliation. They are a group of losers.
When the ship returned to the British mainland and boarded the arranged train, the excitement and happiness of the soldiers disappeared.
When the train entered the platform, they spontaneously buried their heads in their arms and dared not look out.
Clang clang clang...
Something was knocking on the glass and suddenly looked up, the soldier said in an angry tone: "What do you want to do?"
But the two bottles of beer handed in from above the window, and the caring smile outside the window made him stunned on the spot, "This is for you, welcome home, lad."
Tears twirled in his eyes, grabbing the two bottles of beer in front of him, and revived in the quiet car.
On both sides of the carriage were beer, food and cheers handed in by countless strangers. They shouted loudly, as if all this came from victory.
The peaceful atmosphere in the carriage seemed to come alive, and some things that could not be seen were taking root in the soldiers' hearts, gradually awakening.
