Le Claire, that is, ottlock. After he came to Britain, he met Churchill. Churchill instructed to establish a free French organization to lead the French people to continue the war of resistance against Japan.

Le Claire did it silently. After all, to let him return to France to lead the people's underground struggle is simply looking for death. Now under the rule of Germany, the French have higher income and good treatment than in the past. The French don't want to resist at all.

He can only go to the colonies to develop. After all, after France announced its surrender, there are still many colonies that have not made a clear statement.

Leclair succeeded! He found a new base for free France. He has opened the situation!

Although free France is still very weak, this is a good start. When they train troops there, they will develop northward and continue to occupy French colonies.

Charles de Gaulle is gone. Charles de Gaulle's historical responsibility is completely entrusted to le Claire.

Hearing the news, Churchill silently lit a cigar and took two breaths. He finally spoke: "the road of struggle is rugged, but as long as we have firm confidence, I believe that victory must belong to us in the end. Throughout history, we have never been really defeated! "

The smell of cigars can sober Churchill. Churchill silently left No. 5 Downing Street and went to Buckingham Palace.

In 1837, Queen Victoria first moved to Caicai as her residence in July, only three weeks after her accession to the throne. Buckingham Palace has been officially regarded as the residence of the British royal family until now.

King George VI of England lives here.

Now, Britain is stormy. During the day, the Germans will even carry out large-scale air strikes on the capital London. Although the Royal Air force is constantly rising to resist, many German bombers have flown over London and dropped bombs.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. In short, Buckingham Palace has never been attacked by a bomb.

Even so, the royal family evacuated to live in the basement of the palace in case of German air strikes.

In this case, the king still chose to stay in London, no doubt for inspiration. During the day, when the king and Queen appeared at the scene of the bombing and directed the rescue, their image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Up to now, the people of London are still stable. They firmly believe that Britain will win the final victory.

However, as the highest level, everyone knows the risks.

"Germany is marching too fast. Although American materials are being transported, we can't guarantee to hold London until the materials arrive." Under the electric light in the dark basement, Churchill looked at George VI in front of him.

Smoke swirled, and George VI was a smoker. He almost couldn't leave his hand. After World War II, he didn't live for a few years and died.

Now, George VI's eyes, looking at Churchill, are full of complex feelings: "we, mobilized, the whole country, nearly half of the army, we, at home, fight, now, we, still, no hope, hold, our capital?"

Half the army! If the expeditionary force had not been captured in French territory, Churchill could now pat his chest and say he would hold it, but he couldn't.

He really didn't have confidence. How much combat effectiveness did the hastily summoned troops have while shouting to fight for the Empire? To tell you the truth, it's not as good as the colonial army!

"Yes, your majesty, I hope you can leave London for the time being and continue to be the leader of our country and lead our people in the war of resistance against Japan." Churchill said, "you are the spiritual pillar of our people, and your safety is of great importance."

George VI's mood is complex. He doesn't want to be king of England.

Before the grade, his name was Albert. In character, he was very shy and suffered from severe stuttering all his life.

Therefore, when he speaks, he will jump word by word, which is not easy to show that he can eat. If he speaks fast, the word will be repeated many times.

When he learned that his brother, who succeeded Edward VIII in 1936, finally decided to abdicate for the sake of marriage and that he would inherit the throne, he was very unhappy. On May 12, 1937, he ascended the throne at Westminster Abbey and changed his name to George VI,

Who knows, after he ascended the throne, the country declined rapidly. At this time, he had no choice but to stand up and lead the people's war of resistance as a spiritual leader.

Although stuttering and shy, he is also the one who will not give in on the issue of national sovereignty.

"I won't leave London." Said George VI.

As a king, he should have dignity. In history, how many kings guarded their castle and still lived and fought in the castle no matter how many years they were surrounded.

What is it to leave the seat of the royal family for hundreds of years and run to the north?

And if the Germans conquer London, what happens next? The Germans will continue to push North until they occupy the whole of Britain. Where should they go?

It's better to be a dead monarch, stay in London all the time, and make yourself famous forever.

George VI was very persistent.

"Your Majesty, as long as you are still there, there is hope for our people." Churchill said, "you may not know that even France, which has surrendered now, has organized a free France. In Chad and Cameroon, it has risen up and officially supported a free France."

Free France? A colony in France?

Hearing this, George VI's heart rekindled hope. Yes, even if the mainland fell, so what? Britain still has vast colonies. Even if it goes to the colonies, it can continue to lead the people in the war of resistance against Germany. As long as it does not fall, it must continue the war of resistance!

Choosing death is the behavior of the weak. As the king of Britain, it is his real mission to finally drive away the Germans and restore Britain's dignity!

After successfully persuading George VI, Churchill was relieved. No matter how well he publicized at the beginning, he wanted to live or die with London. Now, when it's time to go, he still has to go, and fast!

"Your Majesty, please tidy up and send you out of London with your family tonight. You go to Liverpool first. It's safer there. " Said Churchill.

Liverpool is in the middle of England. At the same time, it is close to the Irish sea. If the situation continues to deteriorate, it is easy to send the king away from there, leave the mainland, go to the colonies and continue to organize the war of resistance against Japan.
