Although he knew that the turning point in the Battle of London was the two German bombers that lost their way, the words spoken by Churchill just now still made Zhou Zhihan instantly feel chilled to the bone.
In order to win the war, many big figures will do whatever it takes to win the war.
Now he finally understood why there were only five people in the room for the meeting, which also made his back instantly wet. Fortunately, he flew over directly and was still wearing a flight jacket without having time to take it off.
Sometimes it is better for little people not to know the secrets of big people, otherwise they will die without knowing.
At this moment, Zhou Zhihan had the idea of leaving England. A sudden premonition told him that he could not stay here for long and had to leave as soon as possible.
Zhou Zhihan was caught off guard that Churchill was looking for him for this matter. He was stunned for a moment and did not speak for seven or eight seconds.
The room fell into dead silence.
after awhile.
Churchill stood up, walked over, smiled, and patted Zhou Zhihan's shoulder gently with his broad palm. Zhou Zhihan's reaction was as he expected: "Colonel Zhou! We had no choice but to make this move. You saw it too. , the Royal Air Force is on the verge of collapse. To use a word from you Chinese, all we can do now is "lose the vehicle and save the commander." Once the skies over the English Channel are controlled by the German Air Force, the cause that we all work hard for will be It will turn into nothing, and the world will fall into darkness from now on.”
"Mr. Prime Minister! I..." Zhou Zhihan froze after saying one sentence, not knowing how to continue.
Faced with such a major event that determines the course of the world, he is a little at a loss.
Although it was the pilots of the two German bombers who changed history, they did so unintentionally. If the two pilots knew that the place where they dropped bombs was London and killed many citizens, they would probably rather be shot down by the Royal Air Force than parachute. Know how to drop bombs and become the first executioner to attack innocent citizens of London.
This kind of thing will be nailed to the pillars of history forever.
"Colonel Zhou!" General Hugh Dowding also stood up. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were sunken, and his face was full of worry. He seemed to have aged ten years in the past month, and his hair on his temples was almost all gray. Stop smoking: "We urgently need the support and sympathy of the international community now, just like China back then. If we don't have the international community's helping hand and public opinion support now, it will be difficult for us to survive."
Zhou Zhihan was stunned again.
yes!
When China fought the bloody Battle of Songhu, wasn't it just to let people all over the world see the Chinese people's determination to resist the invaders to the death? Wasn't it just to win sympathy and support from the outside world?
If China had not shown its determination to resist to the death, the international community would not have sympathized with China and offered help, and the Soviets would not have helped the Chinese air force when it was running out of ammunition and food. Later, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, the Americans It has extended a helping hand to China, and all of this stems from China's self-rescue.
God saves himself and saves others!
Although the United Kingdom opened the long-closed Burma Highway for their Far East interests, the prerequisite for opening the Burma Road was that the United Kingdom saw China's persistence and determination.
I would like to ask, are people willing to help those who are poor but positive and work hard to change their destiny, or are they willing to help those who are lazy and lazy, pretend to be cowards when seeing the strong, bully the weak, and sneak around all day long?
Seeing that Zhou Zhihan didn't speak, the veteran Air Force Minister held a cigar in his left hand. The smoke in the room made his face look a little blurry. He knew that Zhou Zhihan's silence meant that he had some ideas.
He kept tapping the table with his right fingertips: "Colonel Zhou! Do you have concerns that letting the Luftwaffe bomb London will destroy all life in London?"
Zhou Zhihan didn't speak. The Air Force Minister's fingertips were beating quickly on the table, indicating what he was calculating.
The Air Minister's sharp eyes hiding behind the smoke seemed to see through Zhou Zhihan's heart, and he continued: "Don't worry, if you have the means, we can evacuate the residents of London in advance.
In fact, sixty-seven out of ten residents in the city have now evacuated to the countryside on their own, and those who remain in the city are mostly soldiers and paramilitary personnel involved in the defense.
As for those buildings in London, you don’t have to worry at all. As long as the Luftwaffe can bomb London, even if no one is injured by the dropped shells, we can still win the sympathy of the world. "
Major General Pike suddenly said: "In times of war, the best thing to look for is corpses."
Zhou Zhihan looked at Major General Pike thoughtfully. Pike's words were simple. After all the citizens were evacuated, after the Germans dropped the bombs and flew away, they could find many corpses to replenish their numbers.
"Colonel Zhou!" Prime Minister Churchill walked to the chair and sat down. He put his hands on the handle of the chair and leaned back: "We, Britain and China, are already allies. There is a saying in China that "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." If Britain falls to Germany, In the hands of others, Germany, which is an ally of Japan, will definitely close the Burma Highway, which will have a great impact on China's anti-war cause."
Zhou Zhihan knew that Churchill's words were not a threat to him. If Germany really defeated Britain, the alliance between Germany and Japan would definitely close the Burma Highway.
As a time traveler, Zhou Zhihan knew that on the night of August 24, two lost German bombers would drop bombs over London. Since history has been established in this way, why don’t I take this credit and contribute to China’s war of resistance? The career is getting better.
The course of history has a certain trajectory. Perhaps it was because of my existence as a time traveler that the two German bomber pilots lost their way due to a strange mistake. When their brains got hot, they dropped the bomb.
Of course, the most critical thing is that the five people in today's meeting will never tell this matter until they die.
Zhou Zhihan frowned and thought deeply for a few seconds: "It's not impossible, but it's a bit risky..."
Zhou Zhihan did not immediately tell Churchill, Dowding and others what he could do. Now was not the time, but instead went around in a circle first.
You throw your problems to me, and I have to trap you in a trap.
"any solution?"
Major General Parker asked immediately.
Although Churchill, the Secretary of State for the Air Force, and General Hugh Dowding did not react as violently as Parker, it was obvious that hope appeared on their faces.
Zhou Zhihan pretended to be mysterious: "I have two plans, but one of the two plans is simple and clear, and can directly provoke Hitler to bomb London. The other plan is just a prototype and needs careful design, which may take time."
"I knew I was looking for you to make sure I was right!" Major General Pike slapped his thigh, "You have never let us down when you have taken on important responsibilities. Let me talk about the first simple and clear plan first!"
Prime Minister Churchill, Air Force Secretary, and General Hugh Dowding each put down their cigars and pipes. They stared at Zhou Zhihan, forcing themselves to suppress the pounding in their hearts.
The war has reached this point. If Zhou Zhihan can find a way to let the Luftwaffe fly over London, it may be able to change the current decline of the Royal Air Force on the edge of the cliff.
"Bomb Berlin!"
Zhou Zhihan's eyes were firm and he spoke slowly, word by word. His voice was low, but every word could make a thunderous sound in the hearts of the four people.
really.
Everyone's face was shocked.
He didn't speak for a while.
With different expressions, they stared blankly at Zhou Zhihan.
Zhou Zhihan knew that they would not agree, and he also knew that maybe they wanted to do so, but they just couldn't find an excuse.
