Age of Rebirth

Chapter 1476 British Cabinet Meeting

Looking at Adams' excited back, Alexander suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. Will this suggestion of his own take in the last bit of the British Empire's possessions in the South Asian subcontinent?

With Tang Qiuli's cunning and treachery, could he not have thought of this?In case this is another trap of his, he surrounded himself with tens of thousands of soldiers in Xiduo, and used this as bait to lure the rest of the Indian army to come to the rescue. Alexander repeatedly weighed the odds of this possibility in his mind, He couldn't help but want to call Adams to stop.

He stopped him from sending a telegram for help. In the end, he didn't do so, because this was the only chance for himself and tens of thousands of soldiers. If he missed it, he could only become a prisoner of Tang Qiuli, expressing his gratitude to the Chinese people he hated the most. , Abandoning weapons and surrendering is absolutely intolerable for the proud Alexander.

In just a few minutes, the sharp thinking exhausted all of Alexander's energy, and he lay limp on the stretcher, his mind fell into a state of consciousness again, let fate, Alexander secretly sighed in his heart.

At around [-]:[-] pm on May [-]th, London, the capital of the United Kingdom, experienced a large-scale air raid just ten minutes ago. The German Air Force dispatched more than [-] sorties of bombers and fighter jets to bombard London. Indiscriminate bombing. [

On the streets of London, there are ruins and ruins everywhere. Among the collapsed buildings, smoke is still rising, and some of them are still burning. Huge pits can be seen everywhere on the roads. In the streets and alleys, the whole city was filled with a burning smell, and he hadn't recovered from the horror just now.

In the conference room at the bottom of the Prime Minister's Office, a temporary emergency meeting is being held. All the cabinet members of the wartime cabinet, the directors of the General Staff, the Military Intelligence Bureau and other units are participating in the meeting. Here.All the important officials from the military and political circles of the United Kingdom were gathered, suits and leather shoes and shining generals, complementing each other, but the atmosphere was oppressive and breathless.

British Wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill.With a gloomy face and a fat body that filled the entire armchair, the heavy cigar smoked constantly, emitting light blue smoke, making the Prime Minister's uncertain face even more elusive.

on the table in front of Churchill.There was an urgent telegram from the Indochina Peninsula in Asia, "Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the British Empire, and to all members of the cabinet, the General Staff, and the Ministry of War. Our troops stationed in India have recovered the troops in the Indochina Peninsula and are in the process of withdrawing to East India. In the middle, near Xiduo, which is close to the border area of ​​East India, was encircled by the Chinese army Tang Qiuli's headquarters, and now it is impossible to rely on its own strength to break out of the encirclement."

"More than half of the soldiers were killed or injured, medicine and supplies. They can only last for three or four days. The battle situation is extremely critical. I implore the Prime Minister and the General Staff to mobilize all the troops of the British Empire in India as soon as possible to come to the rescue. Otherwise, we will The whole army is in danger of being wiped out.”

"The development of the war situation in northern Myanmar has exceeded the original expectations. Tang Qiuli's troops are stationed on the border of East India. Its purpose is obvious. If our army is wiped out, the defense of the East India region will become blank. Directly The consequence is in the East India region. There is no force that can stop the Chinese from marching into the region, and the city is waiting."

"Furthermore, Tang Qiuli's troops can go directly to the subcontinent of Asia. The dangers involved cannot be experienced on the battlefield. The above suggestion is by no means alarmist, but a conclusion based on the war situation in the East India region. , I implore the Prime Minister and the cabinet to implement it as soon as possible! With the greed and ambition of the Chinese Tang Qiuli, when our entire army is wiped out, it will be the day when Chinese soldiers enter the South Asian subcontinent!"

This earth-shattering telegram was the reason why Churchill called this temporary military meeting. The British have the English Channel, otherwise, the iron hooves of the German Army would have set foot on the land of the British Isles long ago.

I can't do my best to mobilize all the national power in the UK to deal with the German attack. I can't go into exile like other governments on the European continent. Churchill, too, was unwilling to do that.

The domestic affairs have already broken his heart, and the far east does not let him worry. First, the Japanese beat the British Empire army in the Indochina Peninsula to pieces, and then the Chinese Tang Qiuli, grandiosely Having stolen the Indochina Peninsula, now, they have set their greedy eyes on India!

With Churchill's personality, such a bad situation would never be allowed to happen. Although the British Empire is now covered with bruises, it is not something that China, which has been impoverished and weak for a hundred years, can easily bully. A tiger is a tiger after all. As for Alexander, Churchill I don't have any interest in him anymore, a dead man is not worth paying attention to!

Now, the crux of the problem is how to frustrate Tang Qiuli, a Chinese who he hates from the bottom of his heart, plotting the ambitions of the South Asian subcontinent. As for launching this war to recover the Indochina Peninsula, which led to the current situation, Churchill has no regrets at all , that was originally the overseas territory of the British Empire, do you need any reason to take back the land that originally belonged to the British Empire?

It's just that the stupid and capable commanders on the front line, such as Alexander and his like, turned Churchill's great ambitions into a series of failures. Therefore, in Churchill's heart, the battlefield that happened in distant Asia was the root cause of the failures , It does not lie in how strong the Chinese are, but in the ability of the commander of the British Empire army!

After reading this telegram, Churchill's idea was very straightforward. He mobilized all the troops stationed in India to keep the Chinese out of the gate of East India. If necessary, they could rush back to northern Myanmar.

However, after my assistant finished reading the telegram, all the military and political officials in the house stared and said nothing. Looking at these well-dressed military and political officials with neat military uniforms, the old monk seemed to be in a state of calm, determined After making up his mind, with an attitude of only showing his ears but not speaking, Churchill's heart burst out with an irrepressible anger.

The muscles on Churchill's fat face twitched a few times, and he asked: "Gentlemen, after hearing this telegram, do you have any good opinions? Just raise it, this is a top priority issue involving our overseas territories of the British Empire, you want to Show attitude!"

What touched Churchill's sensitive nerves was not the fate of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the British Empire, but the serious consequences that followed. That damned Chinese, Tang Qiuli's forces, would infect the South Asian subcontinent, abruptly from the British Empire. Cut off a large piece of fat from the body, think in another way, Churchill himself would do the same, so he decided that Tang Qiuli would do the same!

Silence, still silence, these ministers and generals have always opposed or disapproved of Prime Minister Churchill, regardless of the domestic situation, insisting on sending troops to northern Myanmar to fight the Chinese Tang Qiuli, the situation in the country is already Worryingly, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don’t know what kind of nerve I committed, but I want to go to war with the Chinese allies in Asia. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

However, Prime Minister Churchill's strength and stubbornness are difficult to convince. Now that the war situation in Southeast Asia is erosive, it is difficult for everyone to come up with ideas, isn't it embarrassing?Poor God, which of you here has been to that distant Southeast Asia?And how to come up with good constructive suggestions? [

Furthermore, as far as the Chinese are concerned, are they still so aggressive?It may not be true that they are blatantly plotting the territory of India. I am afraid that it is an alarmist story fabricated by the commander of the besieged army stationed in India in order to obtain reinforcements!

Churchill was angry. He slammed the table with his short and fat palms and shouted: "No, I will never allow those despicable and cunning Chinese to challenge our bottom line. I will never allow it. Today's meeting will be decided." Come down, how to thwart the conspiracy of the Chinese Tang Qiuli, General Brandes, tell me, what is the plan of the General Staff?"

He was hit on the head, no matter how dumb he was, he couldn’t be fooled. General Brantes, the chief of staff of the British army, knew that he couldn’t avoid it, but in his heart, there was no good way. Others might not understand the As the chief of the general staff, he still knew the situation of the army. Alexander took away all the elite troops.

In northern Myanmar, when fighting with the troops of the Chinese Tang Qiuli, they lost everything, and the rest were some local garrison troops. The quality of equipment and soldiers was barely second-rate, but what about the combat effectiveness?God only knows!

The most terrible thing is that these troops have never been on the battlefield. Even I doubt whether these soldiers will shoot once they arrive on the battlefield. , Can't even withdraw to East India, what the hell can these second-rate troops go up to?

Admiral Brandes can only wander these words in his heart. Even if he said them, the Prime Minister would not listen to them. If necessary, he would order the soldiers in India to fight the Chinese with sticks. Prime Minister Your Excellency is such a stubborn and crazy person.

The disbelieving eyes of those high officials have already explained a lot of problems. The only thing I can do is to help His Excellency the Prime Minister and persuade these military and political officials. At the same time, I can also divert the attention of the Prime Minister from myself. After questioning, I couldn't come up with a countermeasure, and my face was smeared, and the General Staff was also ashamed.

Admiral Brandes, who had made up his mind, turned his attention to the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff, Major General Orebrand, and then he said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, colleagues, before making a decision, the Military Intelligence Bureau The chief, Major General Orebrand, has important information to report, perhaps, it will help us make up our minds!"
