This time Lin Youde guessed wrong. </ > Churchill did not curse, but sat slumped at the ancient desk that had been used by dozens of prime ministers, looking at the documents on the table in a daze. Although he was holding a pen, he had not been writing for a long time. No words were written. After his foreign minister opened the door and came in, Churchill said in a tired voice: "Can we not even defeat Israel now?" "How is it possible to fully mobilize the sea, land and air forces, just Israel" " We will not have the opportunity to mobilize so many troops there. We only have one chance, which is to use the troops already in Egypt to quickly defeat the Israelis. I mean, before the United States and Germany intervene." Churchill shook his head, "But. We seem to have lost the possibility of doing this. It is my fault that I did not expect the Israelis to attack directly. I should have fought for more war budgets and invested more troops in Egypt." "We can. Unite the French, like this" "The French will not stand with us, especially after witnessing the poor performance of our expeditionary force. This is a fact. If you win, everyone will look at you with admiration. If you lose, your weight will also be reduced. The international community is so direct." Churchill sighed, "Of course the French don't want to spit out the benefits they have already eaten, but they don't want to offend the United States and China at the same time. In Germany, their politicians will say, you see, the British are deflated, so it is not shameful for us to spit out what we eat. Their people will also agree with this statement. " Churchill's last sentence is of course. It was a joke, but there was also deep helplessness in the joke. He stood up, slowly turned around and looked out the window at the London street scene. "I have expected this situation for a long time, but I have always refused to accept the reality that the sun never sets on the empire in our hands. For this reason, I have been working hard these years, trying to do something to save everything, At first, I thought I did a pretty good job. We won a great war and won the glory of not losing to Wellington. I thought the empire's revival was just around the corner, but unfortunately I found that even if we took away the German colonies, there would be no success. What's the point? Compared with the United States across the sea, the British Empire is undoubtedly in decline." Churchill sighed. "But at that time I still thought there was a chance to reverse this situation, but hope slipped away little by little. I began to pursue at least keeping Britain among the top in the world. To this end, I did what I thought was right. , But this time" Churchill shook his head. "Winston," the Foreign Secretary did not address Churchill by his official title, but called him by his first name. "Everything has not reached the point of no return. We still have a chance." "We lost India, South Africa, Suez, and others. Commonwealth countries are also showing increasing centrifugal force. Where are our opportunities? We once had the opportunity to keep up with the pace of science and technology, but we were immersed in our existing glory, but those countries that have always been inferior to us are working tirelessly. Looking for possibilities beyond us. They develop technology and build factories under the stimulation of our light, but we, because of our arrogance, turn a blind eye to these." The Foreign Secretary remained silent, while Churchill continued to stare at the street scene outside the window. "Although I am extremely reluctant," he finally said, "Britain may have to surrender to its former colonies in the future. Our last efforts have failed, Woodson." ** In February 1951, Germany and the United States seized The Israelis took the opportunity to attack the British army and intervened in the war in Egypt. The international community, which had turned a blind eye to the war preparations of Britain and France in the past ten months, seemed to recall the main theme of national equality in an instant, and unanimously condemned the "aggression" of Britain and France. The talks were held in Cairo, and military operations by various countries in Egypt were also terminated. For the first time, the United Nations sent military observers to monitor the armistice. This will probably be recorded in the history of the United Nations as a sign of the establishment of a new order in the international community. The Six-Party Talks will be extremely difficult - this is almost certain. The more forces and factions participating in the talks, the more difficult the talks will be. This is true regardless of time and space. Despite the extremely difficult circumstances, the parties reached an agreement in April 1951, stipulating that the British and French troops occupying Egypt must begin to withdraw before July of that year, and complete the withdrawal by the end of 1951. As for the Israeli army, it needs to start withdrawing its troops immediately after the resolution takes effect and returns to the line of actual control of Israel before the war began. This trivial difference in withdrawal time is the penalty for the Israeli army to actively attack the British army. As soon as this agreement was announced, there was a large-scale wave of denunciation of Churchill in the UK, and the opposition also took the opportunity to accuse Churchill of??Traitor the country. Therefore, Churchill had to announce his resignation as Prime Minister in May of this year. In this time and space, Churchill's second term as Prime Minister ended sadly after less than half a year. Probably from now on, Winston Churchill's figure will completely disappear from the world's political arena. Lin Youde also pretended to write a signed article, affectionately saying "farewell to this good opponent." This article was decisively reprinted in full by a newspaper owned by Churchill's opponents in the UK. It is said that after Churchill got the newspaper, he tore it into pieces together with the painting he had just painted. ? ** One day in June, Lin Youde was enjoying the early summer sunshine on the terrace of Sanssouci Palace. "Winston Churchill has left, and Thatcher is still a fledgling girl," he said in a pleasant voice. "In the intervening more than ten years, I can't remember anything else that Britain was capable of. Politicians deserve to be wary. " "It's better to be careful, maybe there will be some 'original' talent here." Viola sat opposite Lin Youde, lying lazily on the lounge chair and basking in the sun. It was a warning, but there was no tension in her voice, so the warning seemed casual. "Original capable people," Lin Youde shrugged. "So far, it seems that we have not foreseen a few people who have relatively strong abilities and have never appeared in another time and space. They are basically Shen Ji. According to this rule, as long as Just pay attention to the goddesses in the UK. Isabella, are there any goddesses in the UK who have particularly strong ability to govern the country? " "There are no goddesses I know." Isabella, who was tapping Erlang's leg, was also like this. In a lazy tone, "As for those goddesses who were not born when I left the UK, I don't know. But by the time those goddesses come to power, that Thatcher will have reached her most powerful age, right?" "Absolutely." Lin Youde shrugged, "I remember that Mrs. Thatcher was around thirty-five years old when she first became a female parliamentarian. Now she is still a member of a constituency in Kent County, and she is still far away from the throne of prime minister." " Mrs. Thatcher's life trajectory does not seem to have changed much due to the difference between the two time and space. Fox's intelligence agents have been keeping an eye on her, so Lin Youde is aware of her every move. Lin Youde once thought of sabotaging Mrs. Thatcher and After meeting her husband, Thatcher, who was not considered rich, probably did not have enough money to learn all the knowledge of becoming a lawyer. You must know that before Mrs. Thatcher became "Mrs.", she was working in a chemical company. She found time to study law and participate in political activities, and her life was tight. But Lin Youde's action failed. The Iron Lady still met her true love, and she finally got rid of her tight life and could go on with more leisure. I am studying law and participating in political activities. ¡°To be honest, I am looking forward to competing with the Iron Lady. "Lin Youde shrugged, "The only thing that makes me regret is that she is not a goddess, otherwise she could have succeeded Churchill earlier. I would like to see if she can bring the current Britain back to life. " "There is something wrong with the logic of your words. The UK now should be more likely to come back to life twenty years from now, right? "Viola turned over and pointed out in a lazy voice. "Well, that seems to be the case. "Lin Youde nodded. "I am here so calmly listening to you speak ill of the motherland," Isabella sighed, "I have indeed become a complete traitor. " "Haven't you already been there a long time ago? Why are you still sighing now? Viola complained, "However, the fact that you failed to conceive the child has already done a lot of help to Britain. This allows them to at least have a new goddess born, and they don't have to worry about the succession issue for the time being." ¡± Isabella responded with a vague voice. I wonder if she has no expectations for having a child. Now Isabella can face these topics calmly. At this time, Xiaolu Climb up from the outside of the terrace and climb over the railing: ¡°Dad, why are you always basking in the sun? Xiaolu tilted her head, "Is it fun to bask in the sun?" " "Of course it's interesting. Xiaolu, when you grow up a little, you'll be able to appreciate the beauty of it. "Lin Youde opened his eyes and glanced at Xiaolu through his sunglasses. "As long as I have something to eat, I'm satisfied. "Xiao Lu said and took out the biscuits. "You really bring food with you anytime and anywhere. Lin Youde couldn't help but smile, "This looks more and more like Oh Jiang. You are actually Oh Jiang's daughter, right?" " As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Oh Jiang appeared from the path where Xiaolu appeared. She climbed over the balcony railing and looked at Lin Youde and the others. She said "Oh" and seemed to be asking "Who is calling me?" Lin.Just as De was about to say something to Oh Jiang, a siren sounded faintly in the distance. "What's going on?" Isabella sat up and looked at the direction from which the alarm came. "It sounded like it was coming from the northwest, about three kilometers away." "Yes, it came from the research institute group. "Viola is still lying on the recliner, "Maybe there's something wrong with one of the research institutes. Just wait for the call at this time. I feel like I'm getting used to these things like explosions, gas sample leaks, and plane crashes." Ah," Lin Youde scratched his hair, "I think it's time to hold another safety month for scientific research activities. I feel like there have been a lot of accidents recently"
