Age of Rebirth

Since the British government went into exile in the United States, Roosevelt and Churchill met a lot. They got together every now and then to discuss matters related to the Allies and the Allied Forces. Especially after the start of the Australian War, they met almost every day.

But after not seeing each other for more than ten days, Churchill who appeared in front of Roosevelt seemed to be a different person. His originally fat and strong body had almost lost a circle of weight. Wrinkles piled up, his face was dull, and the eyeballs that were originally radiant were also covered with bloodshot eyes, sluggish and dry, bags under the eyes were swollen, and the whole person was lethargic, with no trace of life in sight!

Roosevelt was very surprised and hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Prime Minister, why are you feeling unwell recently?"

After greetings, Roosevelt felt a little regretful. Didn’t he ask the question knowingly? The Australian war was extremely miserable, and almost all the British troops were sent to the Australian battlefield. As the prime minister of the British Empire, he had great ambitions in his heart. Churchill, who wanted to revive the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, suffered a blow that was unacceptable. What made him uncomfortable was not only physically, but also mentally!

Going forward, Roosevelt didn't know what to say, so he comforted his old friend, what can he do if he is neither salty nor bland?The comfort is deep, and the pain and scars in Churchill's heart have to be uncovered again. Isn't it more shocking?

"Hehehe!" Churchill smiled wryly, and replied, "Thank you for your concern, President, my body is still normal!"

Roosevelt curled his lips imperceptibly, and said to himself, "You are about to die at any time. Your body is not much stronger than mine. Is it normal?" Immediately, he thought of the current situation in the United States.He couldn't help feeling sad, and the look of sadness and pain in his eyes was fleeting.

Churchill keenly noticed the strange look in Roosevelt's eyes. He came to see Roosevelt today because he had something important to discuss, and he didn't intend to go around in circles.Then he said, "Mr. President, I'm here to see you today because I have something important to report!"

"A big deal?" Roosevelt couldn't help being taken aback.Looking at his old friend suspiciously, "What's the big deal in Britain right now?"

"You and I are old friends. What does your Excellency have to say? It's okay to say it straight!" Roosevelt's face.He piled up a smile and said kindly.

"It's about the British Empire government!" Churchill looked at Roosevelt's face and said solemnly: "After careful consideration by me and the royal family, the British royal family and the government are planning to leave the United States and go to the West Indies to establish a provisional government!"

"Mr. President, you know the situation. Britain fell into the hands of the Germans. All the people of the British Empire never dare to forget the great cause of restoration. This is also the only task of our cabinet. Therefore, a provisional government in the West Indies The government can just call on the British people from all over the world to contribute their own strength to the great cause of national restoration, try their best to make a comeback!"

"The West Indies will be the base for the restoration of the British government in the next few years. Of course, we will not forget the American government and people, especially Mr. President, who gave us the British government during the fall of the British territory and the royal family and government in exile in the United States. Her Majesty the Queen specially entrusted me to express my highest thanks to Mr. President for the care and strong support of a family member!"

After finishing what he wanted to say in one breath, Churchill felt inexplicably relaxed, and looked at Roosevelt calmly. As for what was hidden behind this calmness, only he knew best in his heart. In fact, these words were very difficult to say. Others, definitely don't have such a thick skin!

Especially now, when the United States is facing the strong military pressure of the three Axis countries, it is always on the verge of destroying the country, but it has proposed to go to the West Indies to establish a provisional government. No matter how you look at it, it will leave the precarious United States , meaning to run away by oneself.

In fact, this is what Churchill planned. He was an old and cunning politician. The British Empire was ruined and his family was destroyed. The Australian war lost his last bit of capital. , is definitely not a safe place, and it is not a safe haven for the royal family of the British Empire and the government-in-exile. Under the strong military pressure of the three Axis countries, the United States is like a huge ship that is about to sink.

That smart man, under such circumstances, did not rush ashore or find a way out, and had to sink with the ship. Churchill saw clearly that with the current national strength of the United States, it would definitely not be the opponent of the Germans and Japanese. Even if the United States does not die in the end, it must be weak. Under the hostage of Germany and Japan, it will be difficult to restore its former strength. Is it necessary for such a United States to continue to stay?

Relying on the United States after the war, unable to make decisions of its own, and looking up to Germany and Japan everywhere, the dream of the British Empire to restore the country is completely shattered. Therefore, it is the most wise decision to leave the United States, which is about to be in flames of war. Avoiding evil is one of the most basic qualities of a politician, it has nothing to do with morality!

As for the selection of the West Indies as the seat of the provisional government of the British Empire, it is also helpless. Originally, Churchill’s wishful thinking was to establish a provisional government in Australia. To make matters worse, there was no underwear left after losing, so West Indies became the only option.

Choose to be the neighbor of the Chinese that he hates the most. Churchill is 1 people who are unwilling and even more unwilling, but they have no choice. At least, the current West India region is much safer than the United States, enough for the British government to take a breather , Slow down, after all, the West Indies is a vast territory, and it is still a colony of Britain itself, so it feels like being the master no matter what!

It was Churchill's own decision to move the British royal family and the government-in-exile to the West Indies. As for the royal family's opinion, it doesn't matter at all. It's just a name. He didn't even discuss it with Her Majesty the Queen. The future has far-reaching significance, guilt, morality, etc., are insignificant in the current national interests, and I am a politician, not a soldier!

Roosevelt was silent. He had no reason to allow the British to stay in the United States, but deep down in his heart, there was uncontrollable anger and sadness. Whether Churchill's actions were betrayal or abandonment, it didn't matter. He was also a politician , Knowing that Churchill is facing a critical moment of life and death in the United States, it is correct to do so. I understand Churchill, but emotionally, I cannot accept it!

"It's going to rain, mother wants to get married!" Taking a deep breath, Roosevelt suppressed the rather complicated feelings in his heart, and a Chinese saying suddenly emerged in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "Your Excellency's decision is very wise. Yes, on behalf of the U.S. government, I can help the British royal family and government move to the West Indies as much as I can, Prime Minister, do you have any specific difficulties?"

They are all old-fashioned politicians, masters who turn clouds and rain, even in their hearts, they already regard the British as a bunch of stinky shit. On the bright side, Roosevelt will never speak ill at each other, whether it is Churchill or himself, in his heart They all know very well that from now on, the brotherly relationship between Britain and the United States will no longer exist, and they will be like strangers, but they still have to be gracious and magnanimous!

"This..." Churchill, who has always been known for his thick skin, was rarely embarrassed, and said coyly: "There are indeed practical difficulties, Mr. President, and you are also aware that the Pacific Ocean is now completely blocked by the Japanese navy. Therefore, it is impossible to go to West Indies by sea, so we can only go by land, taking the route of the Allied forces to reinforce the Australian battlefield!"

"However, this route is within the sphere of influence of the Chinese Tang Qiuli. You also know that the relationship between Britain and Tang Qiuli is not friendly. Therefore, I implore Mr. President, in the name of the US government, to send a note to the Chinese government. , arrange for the British royal family and government to go to the West Indies!"

Roosevelt was completely speechless. He admired Churchill's psychological quality and shamelessness. At the most critical moment, he abandoned his allies, and even called his savior, and ran away by himself, and let those who were betrayed by him arrange a retreat for him. , in the world, is there anything more absurd than this?

At this moment, Roosevelt definitely had the urge to curse people, and he didn't want to continue talking with Churchill, fearing that he would be pissed to death, but he still said calmly: "I understand what your Excellency Prime Minister is thinking, okay, I will arrange this right away , Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please wait for the good news! I'm sorry, I have an important meeting to attend, so I'm sorry!"

Churchill took his leave first and left. Of course, before he left, he did not forget to smear honey on his lips. Thank you, Mr. President, for your selfless help to the British royal family and government. Anyway, there is no cost to say thank you.

Seeing this old friend from the past and the stranger from now on, leaving without looking back, Roosevelt's expression was painful and complicated. He closed his eyes, calmed down, called White House Chief of Staff Joelna, and ordered: "You call immediately and ask Secretary of State Christine to come to my office. I have important matters to explain!"

Tang Qiuli, who was assigned by the Independent Division in Yangon, realized that he had become a very busy man. After the two telegrams from Hitler, the German head of state, the U.S. government sent another telegram, explaining that a special envoy was dispatched. Minister Robert, came to Yangon to see his intentions.

When Tang Qiuli read the telegram from the U.S. government, he was shocked at first, and then felt absurd. The Americans begged himself to transfer the "Sky Eye" radar technology, or the finished product, to the U.S. military. Did Roosevelt get sick and confused?

"Go to the doctor in a hurry!" Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered this sentence. The "Sky Eye" radar technology or the finished product will definitely not be given to the Americans. If it is because of the most advanced new radar in the world, the Americans will not This reversed the situation of the battle, didn't he have the thought of hitting the wall?
