Six hundred and thirty-seven. The last gentleman(1/2)

!December 16, 1942, this was a good day.!

The Germans' plane bombing had been away from London for a long time, and the biscuits they brought conveyed a very clear message to the British:

The war may be over soon.

The journey of suffering has been so long, and now it is finally coming to an end.

And this day, what made the British even happier was that the annual rowing competition was coming, which added some highlights to London, which lacked entertainment activities.

Early in the morning, the Londoners began to gather at the venue of the rowing competition. They were discussing something happily and looked into the distance in a hurry.

Then, many well-dressed British people in the upper class came one after another, which made the scene more lively. Then, British Prime Minister Winston.

Churchill also appeared with a large number of government officials, which quickly caused a lot of cheers.

Churchill himself, he was not willing to participate in any rowing competition. The United States had just declared war on Japan and there were too many things waiting for him to deal with. At this time, no minute or second could be wasted.

But this is a competition held by the royal family and is a relatively important festival in London. If the British Prime Minister does not participate, he will be subject to many unnecessary discussions in the future.

When everyone arrived one after another, a large group of royal guards appeared, and then a loud voice sounded:

"Here is the kings of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and other territorial and territorial kings, heads of the Commonwealth, and defenders of the state religion, George VI, came!"

The music of "God Blessing the King" immediately rang out.

When King George VI of England and his family appeared, every man present bowed deeply, and every lady curtsy welcomed His Majesty the arrival of their king.

It was this stuttering king who sat on the throne of the British king in the most dangerous time in Britain, overcame his weakness in stuttering, and gave an inspiring speech, which instantly greatly improved the royal prestige in the hearts of the British people.

So this is a very popular king.

When the music of "God Blessing King" ended, everyone gave a huge cheer.

Standing next to George VI was Princess Elizabeth, who had already joined the army. She kept looking forward to her hope to see her "Princess Royal" and the newly hired rowing master:

Ernst.

Alexson.

Feng.

Baron Bryme!

She was not disappointed.

She saw Baron Alexanderson with her "Royal Princess" rowboat, and she seemed to see the smile on Baron Alexander's face.

A charming enemy one.

Princess Elizabeth suddenly thought so.

Several people holding military horns stood up, and then, everyone all looked at George VI standing on the viewing platform.

George VI announced the beginning of the rowing in the simplest language, and the war horn rang.

This is the order - those rowing boaters who participated in the competition raised their rowing boats and rushed into the water. The annual Royal Rowing Conference has begun!

Sir Monlington and General Rosen did not look at their rowboats but turned their attention to the "Princess Royal". This rowboat is perhaps the most "expensive" rowboat in the world.

Its owner is Princess Elizabeth, the first heir to the future throne of Britain, and its rowing hand is Marshal Alexanderson of the German Baron.

Is there anything more valuable than this rowing boat? What both of them are even more worried is the reaction of the whole British after the incident is made public.

Sir Monlington's "Prince Dobert" rushed to the first rowing player, Blos, was a good rowing player from Cambridge and even participated in previous Olympics.

It is also because of this that the "Prince Dobert" was regarded as the favorite to win this competition.

As for the "Royal Princess", not many people are optimistic about it. Originally, its rowing roarist Lu Geyi was a very powerful guy, but he fell ill on the eve of the competition. Who knows where the newly hired rowing roarist comes from?

"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Charles de Gaulle is here."

Hearing this voice, Churchill said with a faint "happiness", as the chairman of the French National Liberation Committee, the leader of the Free France movement, and the commander-in-chief of the French Mainland Army Charles Andre.

Joseph.

Mali.

When Charles de Gaulle appeared, Churchill expressed his polite welcome to him.

It was just polite. The rowing party had begun, but the French guests were late. This was obviously disrespectful to the owner. Of course, this did not rule out that Churchill's attitude had undergone some subtle changes due to the arrival of Baron Alexanderson.

"Sir, I'm sorry I'm late." Charles de Gaulle glanced at His Majesty the King not far away and said to Churchill apologetically: "There are too many things. We have another important resistance organization in Paris that has been destroyed by the Germans. I have to reconsider the general manager in Paris"

Churchill did not answer immediately.

After Baron Alexander returned to Germany, the German intelligence officer in Paris was also replaced by the more experienced veteran spy chief Nikola.

As soon as this man arrived in Paris, he activated the huge intelligence network in his hands and quickly destroyed many important French underground resistance intelligence networks, causing heavy losses to the Free French movement.

Especially importantly, the German army's attitude in France is becoming softer and more charitable, which has attracted the favor of the Parisians who had not had much resistance.!

Now, it is difficult for the underground resistance organizations to continue to receive support from their compatriots.

These are nothing. The most terrible thing is that under pressure from Germany and the country, Churchill was forced to cancel the military parade of the originally agreed-upon Free France movement, which caused the originally intimate British-French relations to quietly appear.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I need the assistance of the RAF." Charles de Gaulle's attention was not at all on the rowing race: "This time, we are going to airdrop 100 to 150 intelligence personnel, so one."

"Mr. Charles de Gaulle, do you like rowing?" Churchill suddenly interrupted his words and asked inexplicably.

De Gaulle was stunned and nodded reluctantly.

"Yes, who doesn't like this sport?" Churchill smiled and said, "Look, the whole of London is crazy for today. Everyone wants to release their emotions today and discuss the matter in Paris at this time. "I don't think it's appropriate."

"Ah, yes" De Gaulle's mood was blown away.

However, he was not willing to give up: "Mr. Prime Minister, did I hear that Baron Alexander has arrived in London? This is the best opportunity I think we can."

"Look, Princess Elizabeth's 'Royal Princess, the number is coming!" Churchill interrupted Charles de Gaulle again.

De Gaulle stopped talking about anything, he knew it would be difficult to discuss any formal issues with Churchill today.

The "Royal Princess" gradually caught up with him, and the rowing boats on it were nimble and rowing the oars. The "Royal Princess" passed one row after another like a bolt.

Cheers on the shore sounded, and almost everyone was cheering for the Royal Princess.

After George VI worked hard to improve the royal status of Princess Elizabeth and joined the army, the British people's confidence that the royal family had lost completely returned. They loved their king and princess again. It was driven by this mentality that everyone became the cheerleaders of the "Royal Princess".

Now, the water surface has become a contest between the two rowers, "Princess Royal" and "Prince Dobert". Blos rowed hard. After all, he was an Olympic athlete. As the "Princess Royal" approached, Blos tried hard to get a distance from it again.

However, the tenacious "Royal Princess" did not decide to give up, it brought one closer again.

Princess Elizabeth watched the rowing chasing me and excitedly kept cheering her rowing boat. If it weren't for her identity, she would have screamed out loud.

At the last kilometer, the competition reached a white-hot stage 1.

Eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters per one.

Bros is too strong and always has the advantage of being one ship position.

You know, Wang Weiyi has done his best. He is not a real rowing player but just a temporary score. It is already amazing to be able to maintain the second place.

However, an accident happened suddenly. Just when the end was still three hundred meters away, the oar in Blos's hand suddenly broke!

Bloss was stunned. The Prince Dobert stopped.

But Sir Monlington, who was on the shore, smiled.

Yes, this is a good thing he did, and last night he sent someone to secretly use the oars in Bloss to do something.

This is just a symbolic competition, and the first place cannot bring you anything.

If that's the case, why don't you give the championship to Princess Elizabeth and Baron Alexander? It's also considered some things you did for them.

Wang Weiyi didn't know what was going on, so he still tried hard to make the "Princess Royal" quickly surpassed the "Prince Dobert".

The excitement of the audience on the shore reached its peak. They cheered for the Royal Princess with exhaustion. Even George VI and Churchill couldn't help but join the ranks.

When the "Royal Princess" was the first to cross the finish line, huge and fanatical cry resounded across the Taiwan Strait!

First—The royal family won the first place in the rowing race!

Crazy cheers, crazy crowds, everything fell into huge madness.

Sir Monlington stopped laughing, and he knew that a good show was about to take place.

"The second place, 'Hound, No. 1, is owned by General Rosen, rower Peter I."

When the third and first place were announced one by one, the scene was quiet, and the emcee began to announce the names that everyone paid the most attention to:

"The first place, 'Royal Princess, No., its owner is Princess Elizabeth one."

Only then did the words come out, and the warm cheers came again, forcing the emcee to stop and wait until the cheers passed before he recited again:

"Roading Hand"

The emcee suddenly stopped, with an incredible expression on her face, as if she was suspected that she had read it wrong. Everyone didn't know what was going on.

After a full minute, the emcee said in a trembling voice:

"Its rowing boater is Ernst Alexander von Bryme! Baron"!

The scene was dead silent.

Churchill opened his mouth wide and could not believe what he had heard.
