After the Prime Minister finished speaking, the House of Representatives also nodded.
As for Burma and Yunnan, they are not afraid of giving up, but India must not let them go.
The Army Minister said:"Currently, our most important thing is to imitate the tanks of the Republic of China and build our own tanks.
Germany seems to be working overtime to build this new tank.
Moreover, the Republic of China also has a Stuka bomber. , this kind of single-wing aircraft is faster and more accurate.
It has a great deterrent effect on battleships without air defense capabilities.
At the same time, its deterrent effect on the battlefield is more powerful than airships and reconnaissance aircraft.
I predict , Now the form of war has changed, tanks and aircraft will definitely become the key factors that determine the outcome of the war.
Therefore, I propose that the production scale of tanks should be rapidly expanded to promote the application of aircraft in war."
The Navy Minister nodded:"I agree"
""I agree too." Almost all MPs agreed.
Although they are not soldiers, they are not idiots.
War is fought with technology, and whoever has good equipment is more powerful.
They can still see it.
Prime Minister David Lloyd George His heart moved, and then he nodded and said:"This is a good suggestion.
However, at present, our Minister of Munitions has not yet decided on a candidate."950"
I propose that Churchill be appointed Minister of Munitions."
Hearing this, all the MPs began to discuss.
Since the resignation of the previous Prime Minister Asquith, King George V appointed Lloyd George to form the government.
He first established The purpose of establishing a five-member"war cabinet" was to get rid of the leadership of each ministry in order to fully guide the war. The past system of responsibility of each ministry to the cabinet was changed to a system of responsibility to the prime minister to strengthen the powers of the prime minister.
It can be said that at this moment, Lloyd George, at this time, was at the pinnacle of his position.
His influence in Congress was huge.
British Commander-in-Chief Douglas Haig said:"Churchill must bear some responsibility for the Dardanelles War. I think Churchill was inappropriate."
Chief of Staff William Robertson also nodded and said:"I also think that the candidate for Minister of Munitions should be considered. Churchill is a big problem."
The two were unhappy with Prime Minister Lloyd George, and sometimes they had different opinions on the military. , did not discuss with them at all.
What made the two of them unhappy was that Prime Minister Lloyd George directly bypassed the Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff and took command alone.
Damn, this is called ultra vires. They set up a decoration, and of course they were not happy. The opportunity for eye drops was not missed.
The two highest military commanders disagreed, which made Churchill at the top of the House smoke expressionlessly.
Prime Minister Lloyd George said lightly:"Investigation of the Dardanelles War The committee issued its report in January this year.
The failure of the Dardanelles had been confirmed, with Prime Minister Asquith and the Secretary of War being primarily blamed.
You two marshals agreed at the time.
Nowadays, it is inappropriate to talk about this matter.
I think Churchill is qualified and capable to be Minister of Munitions.
At the beginning, Churchill, who was only 35 years old, served as Home Secretary. In the Ministry of Home Affairs, he made contributions in prison reform and other aspects. On
October 25, 1911, Churchill exchanged positions with McKenna and became Lord of the Admiralty.
He advocated a naval arms race with Germany, bringing naval funding to the highest level in history; changing the fuel of the warships from coal to oil, which improved the operating speed and combat efficiency of the warships; and ordering the naval combat forces to be on permanent alert.
It now seems that all of Churchill's orders have greatly benefited us in the UK.
It was precisely because of Churchill that Britain's naval superiority could not be challenged.
Otherwise, we would have been defeated by Germany by now.
Churchill's contribution is obvious to all."
As the Prime Minister recounted Churchill's achievements, the members of the House of Representatives present also nodded, feeling that Churchill was still very capable. The
Prime Minister's confidant, the Minister of War, hurriedly expressed his position:"I support the Prime Minister's appointment. Churchill fully He is qualified and capable to hold the position of Minister of Munitions."
The Admiralty Minister was the beneficiary. He said directly:"I also support the Prime Minister’s decision."
In an instant, more than 450 of the 650 members of Congress raised their hands in agreement.
Seeing this, Churchill and the Prime Minister Lloyd George was very happy.
Now that the victory was in hand, Prime Minister Lloyd George even said with a smile on his face:"The two marshals seem to have a lot of far-sighted MPs, don't you think so?"
This made the commander-in-chief and chief of general staff look ugly. The implication of these words was that they had no foresight.
But the matter was at this point, and they were unable to change it, and they said nothing more.
After the conference decision, Churchill was directly appointed as the Minister of Munitions.
The main purpose was to promote the accelerated R&D and production of tanks and aircraft.
They did not expect that Prime Minister Lloyd George would borrow tanks and aircraft and propose Churchill to be Minister of Munitions.
This gave Churchill an opportunity to rise again in the political arena.
Of course, Churchill was The prestige in the military is still very strong.
Soon after the parliament,
British Minister Zhu Erdian received an order from Prime Minister David Lloyd George to formally protest to the Republic of China.
Foreign Minister Zhao Gang said directly:"Myanmar has been my country since ancient times. The vassal states of the DPRK have always paid tribute to our country, and we do not accept the British protests.
The truth is within the range of cannons, and we still use cannons to identify the truth."
This made Zhu Erdian very angry, but also very powerless. Today is different from the past. The Republic of China has become stronger and has the qualifications and ability to dare to fight with their Yingguo.
At the same time, on the battlefield of Burma and Yunnan, the Eighth Military Region led by Sun Liren sent troops from Yunnan to attack Burma and Yunnan.
A brigade of the Eagle Kingdom defended Lashio.
This is the ultimate road to Mandalay.
Mandalay City is also known as"Wa."City" is the imperial city of Burma.
At the same time, Governor Hubert Lance also deployed a brigade on the left and right sides of Lashio to form a triangle of defense.
Originally, Hubert Lance thought that the Republic of China army would attack frontally.
He did not expect that , Sun Liren attacked directly from the left wing.
As soon as he appeared, he used artillery fire.
At the same time, the three tanks seemed to be in an uninhabited land. The defending British army was no match for Sun Liren. For two hours, more than half of the British army was killed or injured.
The remaining All the British troops under the command abandoned their positions and ran away directly. Those who were captured had no choice but to surrender.
Regarding the British troops, Shen Hao's policy was different from that of Little Japan. Surrendering did not require killing.
Governor Hubert Lance originally He thought he could still compete, but he thought too simply and did not expect the army of the Republic of China to be so powerful. The
British army responsible for defending Tonggu's left wing had already abandoned its position and fled, while the British army on the right wing was also frightened by the army of the Republic of China. There is no morale.
For British soldiers, they are unwilling to leave their hometown and station in this barren Burma.
Now they have to sacrifice their lives to defend this place, and of course they are even less willing. In their view, this is meaningless....
Due to the defeat of the left-wing British army, the gate of Lashio was opened straight.
Lashio is the only place leading to Mandalay, an important town in the north, guarding the chokepoint of waterways, highways and railways.
With the fall of Lashio, Sun Liren's army could advance northward more quickly.
In just one day, Sun Liren captured Lashio.
2,065 British soldiers were killed and 1,850 British soldiers were captured. It can be said that the first battle was a victory.
Shen Hao was not surprised when he received the news.
During World War II, the British army was beaten by the Japanese and was scattered all over the ground.
During World War II, the British army's best behavior on the battlefield in Burma was to retreat. They retreated all the way from the south to the north of Burma, and then finally retreated to India.
They lost Yangon, they lost Ren'an Qiang, and even the 7,000 British troops were surrounded by the vanguard of the Japanese 33rd Division, and they had to rely on the expeditionary force sent by the bald principal to rescue them.
The battle between the Japanese army and the British army was not like a war at all, but more like a march.
The British army collapsed at the first touch. They lost heavy equipment such as tanks and heavy artillery, and all kinds of firearms and supplies were scattered all over the ground, and these became the trophies of the Japanese army.
During World War II, Churchill’s strategy was to abandon Burma and Yunnan. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Their ultimate goal is to retreat the British and Burmese troops to India. After all, India is his focus.
The biggest role of the bald principal's expeditionary force in entering Myanmar is to slow down the Japanese army's attack speed to cover the smooth retreat of the British army to India!
It can be said that the bald man was fooled around.
Britain's interests in Burma and Yunnan are far less than those of India.
It can be said that India is the lifeblood of Britain.
As Sun Liren attacked as fast as possible, he had already reached Mandalay in three days.
The British army defending Burma and Yunnan collapsed when they encountered the Republic of China army, and had no morale.
This made the British cabinet lose face and feel helpless. They had no choice but to give in if they couldn't fight.
But there was nothing they could do, they couldn't support them at all.
In order to keep India, they chose to abandon Burma, which was unanimously agreed upon by all cabinet members.
Therefore, Prime Minister Lloyd George decided to give up all of Burma and Yunnan to Shen Hao after cabinet deliberations, but the prerequisite was that Shen Hao could not advance 0.8 to attack India.
Therefore, the British Minister Jourdian was sent to negotiate.
When Shen Hao learned of the intentions of British Minister Zhu Erdian, he also ordered Sun Liren to hold his troops temporarily until the outcome of the negotiations was completed.
This time, Shen Hao directly summoned the British Minister Zhu Erdian.
Facing Shen Hao, British Minister Zhu Erdian showed unprecedented respect[]
He directly stepped forward and saluted:"Dear President, it's great to meet you."
After hearing this, Shen Hao raised the corner of his mouth and remembered the scene when he met the British Minister Zhu Erdian for the first time.
It seems that when Lu Jianzhang got his son married in the capital, Shen Hao went there.
Foreign ministers also went there, and the British minister Zhu Erdian even had his nostrils turned to the sky, and his status was like that of the Supreme Emperor.
The second time we met was in eastern Guangdong. Zhu Erdian was still extremely arrogant and disdainful of Shen Hao.
Such a respectful and courteous attitude now makesHao felt a little uncomfortable.
Shen Hao said lightly:"Minister Zhu Erdian, I still appreciate your rebelliousness back then."
Zhu Erdian's mouth twitched. He also wanted to be rebellious, but he didn't dare.
If Shen Hao is really angered, it is very likely that India will also encounter something unexpected.
By then, he will probably become a criminal in Britain.
He was pulled back and shot by the Prime Minister..
