At this time, what we need most is firm faith, and Churchill's faith has never disappeared.

For Churchill, nothing is insurmountable. This is only a temporary difficulty. However, when he came to the prime minister's office and met French Prime Minister Renault and French commander-in-chief gammerlin, Churchill knew that he still overestimated the French.

Now, it was just daybreak, and everyone didn't sleep. Their eyes were red and their faces were gray.

"We have to stop the German armored forces. Their impact is too fierce." A voice said.

Hearing this voice, Churchill was delighted. So far, there are such firm commanders in the French army?

He looked at the man he knew. Maxim Weigang, 72, had been chief of staff for five years in World War I. now, he has just returned from Syria.

The failure of the French army must be borne by someone, and the most suitable candidate is, of course, the current commander-in-chief of the French army, gammerlin. His arrogance and his wrong judgment ruined the whole French army.

Wei Gang's arrival doomed Gan Molin to step down, and now it is the last handover.

"But we don't have a strategic reserve team in our hands. Now there is no army that can hold hands between the German armor cluster and the English Channel. The Germans can march effortlessly towards the sea," said Gan Molin. "Wei Gang, what can you do?"

Gammerlin judged that the main attack direction of the German army was the north, so he sent all the reserves to the north. Now, all of them have fallen into the German siege. Where can we mobilize more troops to block the Germans?

"Now, our army just lacks the spirit of fighting to the death." Wei Gang said, "we must give orders to the troops on the front line and never retreat! Among them, the British first armored division is a strong force. Now, we are just frightened by the German offensive. As long as we put it on the spot and carry out positional warfare, we can still save the situation. "

Wei Gang has just returned from Syria. He doesn't know much about the situation in Europe. He just has the aura of a famous general in World War I. now he is still active in landlords' War. However, when he commanded several battles, he immediately changed from a firm advocate of war to a capitulationist.

In fact, his statement is also good. Although the Germans seem very fierce, it is also an important aspect that the fighting will of the front-line army is too weak. As long as the command of a dead war is issued, it is possible to save the situation.

Wei Gang's idea was the same as that of military order No. 227 of the later Soviet Union. At the beginning, Stalin used this means to forcibly stop the trend of military retreat.

Now, Wei Gang wants to do the same. Unfortunately, it's impossible.

For example, Churchill, who had just entered the door, absolutely did not want to do so.

Indeed, what may be saved by a dead war, but more will be lost. For example, how many people will be killed by the British Expeditionary Force? Now that failure is inevitable, why continue to fight?

Wouldn't it be better to retreat first?

Hearing Wei Gang's words, Churchill finally said, "ladies and gentlemen, I have a suggestion."

Qiu pangzi's words made everyone stop arguing and looked at him.

"Now, our most important thing is to save our troops." Churchill said, "as long as the army is preserved, the hope of victory is preserved."

Churchill is right.

In World War I, Britain and France lost a whole generation of young people. Of course, they have now realized that population is the most important. If these troops are eaten by the Germans, it is impossible for Britain and France to reorganize an army with the same trees.

The best way to save the troops trapped in the siege is to save them.

"But we don't have enough reserves. We can't save them." Gammerlin almost repeated what he had just said.

There is no reserve team. In the south of the encirclement circle, it is the most elite armed SS in Germany. If you want to break through their defense line and save your own army, you need an absolutely elite army.

They didn't.

"We don't have to save them from land." Churchill said, "now, the best way is to rescue the Germans from the sea before their siege is formed."

Get out of the sea! Hearing Churchill's words, Renault's eyes lit up "how to save it?"

"Immediately launch all our transport ships to transport our troops to Britain at the port of Dunkirk where the Germans have not yet arrived." Churchill said, "this is the last plan to save the army in the siege. It must be fast!"

Churchill's tone was hasty: "we don't have more time. We must make a decision as soon as possible. Once the Germans attack Dunkirk and surround it, we won't have a chance."

It is impossible to retreat from the land, because there is no reserve, but there is no need to worry from the sea.

Although the British fleet had just suffered a disastrous defeat at sea, it was in the Atlantic after all. On the narrow English channel, British land-based fighters would provide air control. German warships could not risk running into the English channel to block it.

Must be fast!

Wei Gang was stunned. If all these troops retreated, what would he do to stop the German army?

You know, those in the north are the main force of the French army! The rest of the Southern troops belong to the second-line troops. If these troops retreat to Britain, how can France continue the war of resistance?

It can be said that once these new forces leave, France will not have to fight and surrender directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, only by preserving the troops can we win in the future. If these troops are eaten by the Germans, it will be difficult for us to turn over." Churchill's tone increased a bit: "we have missed an opportunity. Now, we can't miss it any more."

Churchill was absolutely sure that he infected everyone: "because of our initial mistakes, the war against Germany is bound to be a difficult war. When we are at a disadvantage, we must try to save our army until the day of victory!"

Churchill's eyes crossed everyone's face and told everyone with his firm eyes that his plan was correct!

When his eyes finally fell on Renault's face, he met Renault's four eyes, and Renault nodded.

"I agree with Prime Minister Churchill."
