Chapter 28 D-Day (11,900

The long team of MPs were escorted out and boarded the truck that had been prepared. Marshal Brooke and others saw the company he prepared. They had been restrained by other members of the 101 Contingent who had sneaked in early, and even their weapons were confiscated.

"Bad!" Pang De cursed angrily, not knowing whether he was scolding the operation team members or scolding Marshal Brooke who arranged the operation.

When Admiral Porter walked past Churchill, he whispered when others were not paying attention, "Winston, you are playing with fire**! You messed up everything!"

I thought the other party would look ashamed, but Churchill looked down and scolded, "Daughty! What do you know? The British Empire is bad for you guys who are not good enough to do anything!"

Major Effler led his troops to escort everyone into the car, and whispered to Jonathan Churchill, who had not yet appeared, "The first step has been successful. What should I do next? Go directly to the airport?"

Jonathan nodded: "First send the Prime Minister's family and some important personnel to the plane, and then follow the plan."

"Then how do we get out? Now the British troops should have taken action."

"It doesn't matter, I have a way to follow my instructions." Jonathan led the convoy to three or two turns, and drifted significantly from the "escape" route that Marshal Brooke and others originally designated until he encountered a guard post.

"This is my ID." Jonathan took out the MI5 ID from his pocket. It was all real guys, and it also included the highest level pass. "I am currently on a special mission."

The other party repeatedly verified the documents and finally asked: "There is a special password today, do you know?"

"Know."

“British!”

“Dominion of Canada!”

"It's right, I wish you a good journey."

The convoy immediately left the booth at a speed of lightning. Although the lieutenant on duty felt something strange, all this seemed to be impeccable. He touched his head and thought he had thought too much. After 2 minutes, he couldn't laugh. The ringtone rang. The inquiry phone finally reached him. After learning that the "coup" convoy had just left, Lieutenant General Mills Dempsey, the commander of the British Army Second Army Group, who was responsible for suppressing the rebellion, put down the phone and said to Attlee: "Grand, they did not follow the scheduled route, but left from other openings, and the company we were responsible for tracking was confiscated and detained in Parliament by them."

According to the original script arrangement, Attley, Aiden and others were not present at the cabinet trust case questioning scene, and they suppressed the rebellion on the outside. They just received a signal from the meeting site. They had already begun to press the "script" to "press the rebellion", but there was no subsequent signal. Dempsey sent someone to check the situation and found out that it turned out like this in the end. He immediately called each checkpoint to intercept it. Unexpectedly, the movement was slow and the convoy was mixed up. Now the night was in a vast area, where to find the convoy?

"Damn it! Winston fooled us!"

“What should I do now?”

"They must have gone to find His Majesty."

Dempsey immediately said: "Then I will lead my troops to surround him immediately..."

"No!" Attlee waved his hand and pondered for a moment, "If he is really there, don't disturb them and let His Majesty go!"

Dempsey was stunned and suddenly remembered that Churchill had troops in his hands now, so it would be not good if the exchange of fire accidentally injured the royal family. He immediately changed his words and said, "Okay."

"Send a telegram to Black Cat and invite him to return home as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation." Attlee gradually calmed down from the initial panic and was scheduled to take over as the next prime minister. He must have the ability to independently control the overall situation and properly handle emergencies. "I don't know what Winston is doing, but with the strength in his hands, we cannot go against us. The British Empire has 3 million troops, and the US troops only have 100,000 US troops. Notify the garrisons from all over the country to surround the US military camps and ask them to hand over their weapons! But don't open fire, I can't let this incident turn into a civil war."

"Do you need to be detained?"

“Not for now.”

Aiden thought for a long time: "Do you want to give Berlin some information?"

"Not for the time being." Attlee refused firmly.

Aiden immediately understood: letting Germany intervene now can certainly introduce German forces, but it may also complicate the situation. What will the officers and soldiers who are still fighting desperately with Germany not long ago think? Once they ask for help from Berlin, it means that their side cannot control the situation and will inevitably be underestimated by the Germans in the future. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Attlee was probably good. After the 101st Secret Service team succeeded, the 2nd Division of the US Army led the troops to Buckingham Palace and then ran into the trembling George VI family. Although he was afraid of death, he still pretended to be calm and comforted his two daughters.

Princess Elizabeth was 18 years old at this time and grew up. As the heir to the throne, she could look at things calmly. In 4 years, she delivered a radio speech for the first time, speaking to all the children in refuge, hoping that they could pay attention to safety. She knew that her father suddenly brought her and her sister Margaret back to London from Balmoral, Scotland some time ago, and there must be something wrong with her, but she never expected that it would be such a scene. She was still planning to participate in the training of the field rescue nurse class.

The guards at Buckingham Palace are not strong. How can a few royal guards resist the full set of heavy equipment American teams? They tried hard to scold the American soldiers, but this could not play any role. The Americans themselves felt quite embarrassed, so they simply went out of sight and were disarmed. After disarming the guards, they stood outside in disappointment. Finally, Churchill arrived at Buckingham Palace at around 9 o'clock in the evening.

Churchill stepped forward and said in a pun: "Your Majesty, the wind is rising, let's go."

"Winston, has things really come to this point?"

"Yes... irreversible." Churchill smiled bitterly, "The Dominion of Canada cannot be without you."

"What should we do if these tens of millions of people in the country?"

"They?" Churchill shrugged, "They will soon have a new Majesty, a new Prime Minister, and a new life... Everyone thinks it will be better than before, although I don't think so."

"Okay." George VI sighed, "I'll go with you."

"Father, I don't want to leave. This fat man is a bad guy!" Princess Margaret suddenly broke free from her sister's hug and pointed at Churchill's nose and cursed, "There is no good every time he comes to the palace! This time he wants to abduct you to Canada again, you can't be fooled."

Churchill was helpless when he was pointed at the nose by a princess who was younger than his granddaughter, but he couldn't argue: "Princess, I..."

"Okay, okay, don't be willful, don't worry about your adult affairs." George VI usually prefers this young daughter, "You and your sister go and clean up your own things."

"Sister, say something... tell your father that they are lying to him." Margaret's face was covered with tears and asked Elizabeth for help.

"Mr. Prime Minister, is this good for the British Empire?" Elizabeth asked in a mature voice that was not consistent with his age.

"Your Highness, I am all for this country and for the glory of the royal family."

"Including running to Canada in shame?"

“This is a necessary strategy.”

"Will a king leave his country and people? He has a future?"

"There will be a day when I come back. If I can't come back, your Majesty will not come back, you can come back!"

"Do you believe this?"

"I have always believed it."

Seeing that the prime minister was still quarreling with his two daughters, George VI was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Winston, I know, can't I go with you?"

"Have you brought all the things?"

"I sorted out a little personal belongings and left the rest to my brother, just like he left it to me..." George VI seemed distracted. "To be honest, if it weren't for the sake of the British Empire, I would rather stay in London as a commoner, and I believe my brother wouldn't make things difficult for me."

Churchill said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I want this too, but the noble mission we shoulder pushes us to go like this, and there is no other choice."

"Let's go..."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Attley received information: the royal family had been "hijacked" by the US military and headed towards the airport. Someone asked if he wanted to intercept it. Attley rejected it and asked the royal family to go to Canada. It was a drama that was arranged, but now it is still following the script. Now everyone can't understand it, why did Churchill destroy his previous tacit understanding?

"No interception, nor fire, your Majesty can go anywhere he wants."

"Now all the members are in Churchill's hands, what if he takes them away?"

Attlee's face twitched: Taking all the members of the parliament was a troublesome, which meant that the local constitutional tradition was cut off, which undoubtedly meant that the sky had collapsed for British society, which regarded constitutionalism as life.

He squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Don't act rashly, no matter how bad the MPs are, they will be able to re-election and choose another group."

"Pick another batch?"

Everyone had a thought, the world was crazy: then Britain would have two kings and two prime ministers, and would it be that there would be two more parliaments?

"Prime Minister, other troops have protected the nobles toward the airport." Jonathan asked, "Are you going to the airport? The first batch of planes took off at 2 a.m., with a total of 24 aircraft; the second batch of planes took off at 5 a.m., with a total of 36 aircraft; the third batch of planes took off at 8 a.m., with a total of 12 aircraft. This is more dangerous and may be intercepted by the German army."

"Wait first, let's go to Liverpool."

Jonathan was shocked: "This is too dangerous, I'll just go."

"You can't go alone, you can't suppress them." Churchill shook his head, "Take all the members of the parliament at the airport as hostages to prevent Attlee from leading his troops to attack the airport. If necessary, you can randomly kill several demonstrations. Don't be rude, you can't do big things!"

The convoy was divided into two groups under the night, one rushed towards the airport, and the other turned around and drove towards Liverpool...
