As early as the 4th century BC, Sun Bin, a famous Chinese militarist in the Warring States period, put forward the idea of "fighting one and guarding two", advocating that one-third of the troops should be used as the vanguard to fight the enemy; Take two-thirds of the troops as the rear team and move at the command.

Alexander, the king of Macedonia in Europe, put forward the idea of using infantry with medium equipment as the reserve team, established and timely put into the reserve team in the battle of gaucamilla, and defeated the Persian army.

Napoleon's defeat was also because there was no reserve team in the end.

At a critical time, more than one reserve team can play a decisive role.

But now, gammerlin can't wait to press all the reserves, which makes the British generals feel uneasy. Especially now, it is Churchill, the highest representative of Britain.

With the cigar in his mouth in his hand, Churchill's eyebrows were frowned. He asked his question to gammerlin opposite.

The war has just begun. Will all the troops be pressed up?

"Now is the best time to join the reserve team. We have judged the direction of the German main attack." "We must tell the Germans with a beautiful victory that no matter how many advanced tanks they have, they can't pose a real threat to us," said gammerlin

Now is the best time to defeat the Germans completely! This is the judgment of kammerlin. At this time, he believes in his judgment.

After that, he paused and continued: "although we have pressed all the reserves, we will immediately mobilize national defense, and follow-up troops will be formed continuously. In a week at most, we will have another reserve force of 10 integrated divisions."

Now that the war has begun, we must carry out new war mobilization, recruit retired soldiers into the army, and it is easy to come up with another army.

The thought of the cruel meat grinder in World War I made many people's hearts tremble, but now they have no choice. Twenty years later, just a new generation of young people grew up, they need to be consumed on the battlefield.

If you want to blame, blame the Germans!

Churchill still had questions, but before he mentioned it, an adjutant hurried in and said to Churchill, "Mr. Churchill, please return to London immediately."

Return to London immediately? Churchill could not help asking the adjutant, "what happened in London?"

"Chamberlain is going to resign. He nominated you to take over as prime minister." The adjutant's words stunned Churchill, followed by another joy.

Arthur Neville Chamberlain was the representative of British Appeasement Policy in the 1930s.

Born in 1869, he is now 70 years old.

People who have experienced World War I do not want to experience a war any more. The call for peace echoes over Europe. In this case, Chamberlain, as prime minister, made a series of concessions to Germany and Italy in exchange for peace in Europe.

His policy was called "appeasement policy" by later generations.

Germany marched into Sudetenland, sent troops to invade Austria, and then sent troops to the Czech border. Chamberlain delivered a speech in the house of Commons condemning Germany's aggression, but there was no specific action.

When Germany occupied the whole Czechoslovakia, Britain began to take measures to strengthen its defense, and Chamberlain announced to give Poland military support.

However, after Poland was invaded by Germany, although Britain declared war on Germany, there was no war action.

Chamberlain's all this is for the peace of Europe. He doesn't want Britain to enter a state of war. Britain is afraid of another generation of young people.

In fact, Chamberlain's acts were welcomed by the British people. After the Munich agreement was signed, the old Chamberlain returned to Britain by plane. At the airport, Chamberlain was welcomed unprecedentedly.

He brought peace to Britain!

However, with the change of the current situation, Chamberlain was finally abandoned by the British.

When Germany bombed the British naval base, Britain was in an uproar, and they felt very angry about it.

In the face of the German attack, Chamberlain made some decisions, such as bombing the Libyan oil field, but these did not play a real role, and the German all-out war was the last straw to crush the camel.

"You've been sitting here too long and haven't done anything good. Let's go and let us tell you in the name of God. Get out!" In Congress, a congressman quoted Cromwell's declaration when he dissolved Parliament in his speech. He waved his fist and was very angry.

He seems to have forgotten that when the Munich agreement was signed, he also waved this arm to support it.

"There must be a vote of no confidence in the government, now, now!" Another congressman said loudly, "look at our government. What good things have been done over the years!"

Germany's attack on France has made these British politicians realize that Chamberlain's policy has been wrong. Appeasement has made Germany stronger and stronger. Now, Germany has begun to really threaten Britain and France!

In fact, from the perspective of future generations, all the appeasement made by Chamberlain in the 1930s was in line with the situation of that era. No matter who sat in that position, he had to do so.

Churchill was tough, but who supported Churchill at that time? When Churchill released the German threat, Churchill was reprimanded.

"Qiu Pang, get out of here and leave the parliament!" Once a member of Parliament directly scolded Churchill, said what we don't like to hear, and became a person we don't like.

Churchill's war argument was not supported by anyone, but Churchill was driven out of the government.

When the war broke out, the British suddenly realized that Churchill was right and quickly invited the tough Churchill back as their prime minister.

Now, this is the process.

The vote on the no confidence motion of Chamberlain's government was held almost ten minutes later. Dozens of members who originally supported the government voted against it. Chamberlain standing aside knew that he should step down.

Although Chamberlain intended to stay in office until the end of a new round of crisis. At the juncture of this crisis, he wanted to turn the tide and draw a successful end to his political career, he still had to submit his resignation to the king and formally recommend Churchill to succeed the British Prime Minister.

At this time, Churchill, who repeatedly predicted Germany's ambitions a few years ago, was finally popular.
