Zhou Zhihan said: "The Germans bombed London, and we bombed Berlin in tit-for-tat. Of course, we must do it to inspire the people and let the British people see that we have the ability to make the Germans pay a greater price for this. But I think today, There is something wrong with bombing Berlin at night!"
Churchill looked at Zhou Zhihan and motioned for him to continue.
Now Zhou Zhihan is the only non-British person in the entire conference room, and perhaps he is the calmest.
"The German bombing of London happened just a few hours ago. If we immediately retaliate and send bombers to bomb Berlin, the Germans might bite back tomorrow morning and say that we bombed Berlin first and then they retaliated against us, because now London The news of the bombing was not known internationally.
I think it is necessary to wait until tomorrow when we announce to the world that the Germans have blatantly violated the international agreement not to harm civilian targets, blatantly violated the Geneva Treaty, expose their ugly crimes to the world, and then we will punish Germany all over the world. When condemned, launch a sudden and violent counterattack. This will not only make a name for itself, but also gain the sympathy of the international community. It will also make the people of the country share the same hatred and unite closely to resist the Germans and fight to the end. yield! "
"Um!"
Mr. Prime Minister nodded slightly.
What Zhou Zhihan said was exactly what Churchill wanted. He thought so at first, but he was worried that military personnel would say he was too cautious. At this moment, all parties are very sensitive. He must conform to the hearts of the people and military generals. Thousands of innocent people were killed in bombings and thousands of soldiers died in battle are completely different things.
Now the senior generals are very angry and have decided to retaliate immediately to appease the people. If he insists on stopping it, it may be counterproductive. If he makes a slight mistake in handling this kind of tragedy, he may end Zheng Zhi's career at any time.
When these words were spoken by a foreign colonel, they were more convincing than when spoken by the Prime Minister.
Sure enough, after Zhou Zhihan gave his reasons, the generals all whispered:
"It is very rare for a foreigner to fight the Germans through life and death for the British Empire. What he said bluntly just now is reasonable and reasonable..."
"That's right, what Colonel Zhou said is very reasonable. He was so blind and blind, and the Germans said back that we were the first to bomb Berlin. It's really difficult for the international community to distinguish the truth from the false..."
"Yes, after Colonel Zhou said this, I think we have been a little too hasty..."
"You don't know yet," Prime Minister Churchill took the opportunity to say, "After the Germans bombed London, Colonel Zhou, who was on a mission outside, happened to be passing by on his way back. He was the first to rush to the scene, drive away the German bombers, and force the Germans to When the planes left in a hurry, they dropped many bombs in remote no-man's land, which reduced our losses in London. One of the bombers had its wing damaged by Colonel Zhou and made an emergency landing on the French coast."
The generals in the room all praised Zhou Zhihan. Every time there was a crisis in the British Empire, Colonel Zhou always appeared immediately and turned the tide. From now on, we must have good exchanges with China.
General Hugh Dowding continued: "When Colonel Zhou went to intercept the two bombers, he discovered that a large number of German aircraft were going to bomb a large oil storage tank facility located 20 kilometers east of London. He gave an early warning and then The German conspiracy was not allowed to succeed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Tonight, Colonel Zhou takes the greatest credit!"
Zhou Zhihan's record has long been a household name in London. He once again saved a large oil storage tank facility that is the lifeline of the Air Force, which made everyone even more impressed by him.
The Minister of the Air Force had a calm expression, holding a cigar between his fingers, and his face was slightly red: "Everyone, after listening to Colonel Zhou's analysis, tell me your opinions. Should we launch an immediate counterattack tonight, or should we consider it in the long term?"
All the generals gradually calmed down and looked at the Prime Minister.
"What Colonel Zhou said makes sense. We cannot give the Germans a chance to confuse right and wrong. The bombing of Berlin is imperative, but..." Churchill dragged his voice for a long time, then took out a lighter and lit the cut cigar in his mouth. , took a few sips, during which he glanced around casually, observing everyone's expressions.
Everyone seemed to know what the Prime Minister meant.
Similarly, Churchill also saw a great change in the attitude of the officers present on whether to bomb Berlin immediately.
Sure enough, Churchill went on to say: "The bombing of Berlin is inevitable, but we have to calm down and plan carefully how to make Hitler feel more painful..."
At two or three o'clock in the morning, the intensity of the Luftwaffe's bombing of the British mainland suddenly weakened.
When Zhou Zhihan returned to the sky over Brighton Airport, the east had turned white. The airport had been plowed by German bombers again. Large fires had been put out in many places. The smoke was still billowing and the area was devastated. Under the guidance of the tower, the A214 Spitfire was barely found. Land in an open space, then drive the plane to a hidden place and hide it.
Just after getting off the plane, the ground staff told Commander-in-Chief Zhou that the Allied Forces suffered heavy losses today. Two pilots from the 303 and 304 Squadrons each died in battle, and planes from the 302 and 305 Squadrons also crashed. Fortunately, the pilots bailed out and escaped. Everyone's morale is currently low.
Zhou Zhihan walked into the underground waiting room of the airport and wanted to chat with the pilots. Instead, he saw a dozen team members sleeping on the floor with their clothes on and snoring everywhere. He couldn't bear to be disturbed and quietly left.
When I returned to my residence a few kilometers away from the airport, it was dawn. When I heard the door open, Karen, who was washing, ran over with small steps, jumped on him, hooked his neck, touched his forehead lightly, and touched his face. It's full of sweetness: "It's so cold!"
Zhou Zhihan hugged Karen: "Karen, why are you up so early?"
"I came back early yesterday afternoon. As soon as I got off the car, I felt weak, dizzy and nauseous, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. After I came back, I went to bed early and woke up before dawn!"
"What's wrong Karen?" Zhou Zhihan hugged her and sat on the sofa, asking with concern, "Are you sick?"
"I'm not sick!" Karen's face flashed with shyness and joy, and she lay in Zhou Zhihan's arms. "When I went home this time, I saw that the neighbor's children were so cute! Zhihan, do you like children?"
Zhou Zhihan nodded: "I like it! Last year, my cousin gave birth to a boy who was only a few months old. He was very cute, with white skin, big eyes, and black hair. He was very cute and cute. Every time I go there Everyone needs to hug him!"
Karen asked mischievously: "If we have a baby in the future, would you like me more or the baby more?"
"like it all!"
"Will you give half of the love you give me to the baby?"
Zhou Zhihan smiled and pinched Karen's cute nose: "I will treat you twice as well!"
"Then I'm relieved!" Karen looked at Zhou Zhihan with happiness in his eyes, "Zhihan! You...you are going to be a father!"
Zhou Zhihan was stunned at first, and then he was surprised: "What? Karen... you..."
"Yes, you are going to be a father, Zhihan!" Karen repeated again, with happiness on her face, "You are going to be a father!"
"Oh... Karen..." Zhou Zhihan was overjoyed. He reached out and wanted to pick up Karen and spin him around, but he quickly retracted his hand, jumped up and jumped up, "Karen..."
When he traveled to World War II, he never thought that one day he would have a child. Even if he thought about it occasionally, he would quickly change his mind. God knows what kind of children the time travelers would give birth to...
Now, Karen is pregnant, he wants to be a father, and the time traveler can also be a father...
Jumping, jumping, smiling like a fool, suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhou Zhihan's mind - Karen said she only came back yesterday afternoon - hiss...
"Oh..." Zhou Zhihan stopped jumping, "Karen, you... when did you come back?"
Karen smiled and widened her eyes: "Yesterday, the 24th, I came home from my parents' house in the afternoon. What happened?"
Zhou Zhihan's smile froze on his face: "You just came back yesterday afternoon? Are you sure?" After saying this, Zhou Zhihan was stunned. Julia Kristeva also asked him this early this morning.
Why does Julia Kristeva ask this?
Karen's eyes widened: "I'm sure! I came back yesterday afternoon and I went to the hospital when I felt uncomfortable. The doctor said I was pregnant. What's wrong, Zhihan?"
