Chapter 784 – Churchill’s Resignation

The two rebels were singing in unison, they were restrained in their words, but the nature of what they said was very serious.

To make an apt comparison, it can be likened to robbery, which is a standard crime of a bad nature, no matter how much money you rob and how small the consequences are, as long as the nature is in place, the start is ten years, even if you just robbed a few dollars.

Once the Conservative Party split, there is no doubt that Churchill will be recorded as a power-loving image, then so many years of Churchill’s struggle, not only in the post-war defeat, even the Conservative Party has no place for him, which is a very serious consequence.

At this moment, Churchill did not say anything for a long time, he also realized, but has not yet met this day of psychological preparation. Churchill thought that even if Labor supporters did not understand, the Conservative Party should be to understand his leadership of Britain to achieve the merits of the World War.

The truth is that it was the British electorate that didn’t understand, the electorate couldn’t understand a Prime Minister who had fought a World War at such great cost. Add to that the fact that Adderley had made no major mistakes in his two terms, and had stayed out of the Korean War, and was already considered by voters to be a credible prime minister, compared to Churchill’s behavior in draining the last drop of blood from the British Empire, and the highs and lows were there.

The most disturbing impression is that the British perception of Churchill has come to equate Churchill with a war monger.

The British press discussed at length the question of what would happen when Churchill’s finger touched the trigger of a British weapon. The Daily Mirror ran a huge front-page cartoon of Churchill with his hand on the trigger of a pistol.

A number of Labor newspapers also kept emphasizing that Churchill was eighty years old and citing the judgment of various doctors that an eighty-year-old man looked like his body was inevitably failing even if he was in good spirits.

Being deaf and speaking upside down is simply no longer a secret to the current parliament and a major source of flak from the Labor Party. In fact some of the diatribes that Churchill used to take under Labor have been addressed.

For example, the iron and steel industry is an important indicator of whether a country is strong, after the war, Britain’s steel production rose steadily, but limited by the quality of the local iron ore and the scale effect, the improvement is also very difficult. After all, Britain’s domestic iron ore is not rich, which will add a lot of extra costs.

In the second term of the Labor Party, Churchill once said in Parliament, if he was Prime Minister, the solution to the British steel industry, the way is, want to get the help of the Americans to complete its plans to expand the army. An agreement was reached for the United States to supply steel to Britain in exchange for non-ferrous metals.

This was solved by the Imperial Commissioner in Kuala Lumpur, and this is what Alan Wilson has been doing for the past few years, well aware of the importance of steel production in general in this day and age, and for this reason has been surpassing Britain and catching up with the United States in Sarawak, borrowing the high quality of iron ore from Australia, and piling up production day and night.

It can be said that Alan Wilson is very hit Churchill MP’s face, with the British colonial non-ferrous metals and the United States dutifully steel deal idea, became a famous joke among the Congress.

After perseverance, now the Conservative Party also recognized a basic fact, the choice of Churchill to continue to lead the Conservative Party, the benefits a little bit did not see, can see all the bad.

So on the matter of the third post-war to the prime minister’s throne, Aidan and Macmillan now came to the door to give the answer, so that Churchill can leave in a dignified manner, this is the two made the greatest sincerity.

Churchill can be said to be very disappointed to look at, once the words of the two people, but the expression of the two people show that Churchill this color of disappointment, not enough to make the two people change their minds.

Eventually, Churchill, who recalled leading Britain’s protests against Germany, spoke in a slow tone, “I will resign. If you think that my presence is indeed a negative asset to the Conservative Party.”

“Honorable MP, perhaps we were wrong in our judgment. But change is always going to happen!” Aiden didn’t feel the slightest bit of attachment, he had been ready for it for a long time, both physically and mentally, he had thought freely about leading the Conservative Party and even going further to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Now only the first step had been taken, and it was time to make this almost relic of the last century disappear from the Conservative Party. In Aidan’s eyes, Churchill had a lifelong penchant for fame and fortune. He was delighted that cities were flocking to elect him as an honorary citizen of their city.

Aidan’s lack of retention showed Churchill the attitude of the Tory forces in his department now, and eventually, with difficulty, he said he was willing to resign just so that the Conservative Party would not be divided.

“We want to be able to get these things done before the general election.” Aidan and Macmillan looked at each other and spoke, “A lot of people have been waiting for this day.”

This day was a disappointment for Churchill, a disappointment even greater than the unexpected defeat of 1945.

British colony of Malaya, Alan Wilson was preparing for the expansion of the Malayan garrison, on the one hand he was helping to stabilize the conservative social climate of the Chinese and Malays, on the other hand, with the presence of the garrison in Malaya, you can’t expect the British soldiers to live the life of eunuchs one by one.

During his predecessor’s time, because the war treasury had just ended, such things were not particularly important. After all, some other crimes were negligible compared to the war where heads fell.

But things have to be solved, and after Allen Wilson took office, he began to bring in foreign workers to solve the problem. He will not deliberately hide anything, first from Japan, and later from South Korea, now the source of workers is more mixed, Malaya’s economy has made initial progress, the attraction has appeared, what South Vietnam, Cambodia has also become the source.

It does not make sense for an Imperial Commissioner to pimp this out again, but if he were to leave it alone, it would be the local population that the garrison would harass.

Pamela Mountbatten can also feel her husband’s difficulties, the increase in the number of British troops will certainly bring some problems. Although the British army’s military discipline was definitely ranked in Europe.

“It would be best if there was no problem with the sale of human beings.” After hearing that her husband was preparing to introduce women, Pamela Mountbatten worriedly said, “Otherwise it will have an impact on your personal popularity.”

As a wife, how could Pamela Mountbatten not know that her husband was a complete official fan.

“Don’t worry about that, as long as the colonial government turns a blind eye and then curbs crimes against women. No one can catch me at it, and in case you didn’t know, Japan used to specialize in developing armaments with the money from women selling their bodies.” Alan Wilson snorted and said, “As long as the people in the Malayan colonies have more money than the people in the neighboring countries, we don’t have to do anything, they’ll come to our door on their own, and since it’s a money deal, that’s fair enough.”

The basis of all the problems lies in the economic base, Alan Wilson certainly now not let the people of the Malayan colony, are open to small cars, but motorcycles have not been rare, can not let everyone here everyone Louis Vuitton, but dressed clean and tidy, than many people in neighboring countries areas, what does not need a time.

Speaking of the economy this issue, Pamela Mountbatten back to Europe trip, along with the sale of oil shares and calculate the proceeds of the World Cup, a net profit of thirteen million dollars. It can be said to be faster than even a money printing machine.

Of course this also includes the cost of contacts in the UK to help the French pull out of Vietnam, and there is no denying that the Honorable Admiral Mountbatten, Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, was sold a good deal by his youngest daughter.

“Progress on ballistic missiles is worrying, and more investment is needed, if you don’t mind my dear, put that money in.” Wrapping his arm around his wife who was sitting on his lap, Alan Wilson said in a persuasive manner, “The Soviet Union’s ballistic missiles can be ahead of us, this thing is important, it’s not like Washington thinks it is, it’s a weapon of a poor country.”

The Soviet Union’s ballistic missiles are certainly in the forefront of all countries at this time, he can remember, the Soviet Union successfully developed the R-7 ICBM just three years later, and then immediately into the deployment status. U.S. ICBM technology is inferior to the Soviet Union, the U.S. development of the Cosmos intercontinental missile in the performance and development time behind the Soviet Union’s R-7.

The R-7 has a range of up to eight thousand kilometers, can be launched up the east coast of the United States with an accuracy error of only five kilometers, and is capable of launching nuclear warheads of megatons of TNT yield in half an hour’s time to the United States.

The Soviet Union’s achievements in missiles and spaceflight scared the self-conscious United States to death. If Britain can keep up with the Soviet Union’s steps and get the Blue Light missiles out there ahead of or at the same time, it’s in a relatively favorable position.

“I’m keeping an eye on the progress of the Blue Light Missile, but if it’s still committed? Pamela Mountbatten is not lack of money, but after all, it is a new thing, always a little lack of confidence.

“Darling, it’s a life saver. If we make progress before England. We might even be able to exchange it for something good, and the progress of the nuclear submarine is slow right now. It wouldn’t be a bad deal at all if we can trade the success of the Blue Light Missile for the reactor technology of the nuclear submarine.” Alan Wilson corrected his wife’s misconception, “Wouldn’t it be disappointing if you, as a big bourgeoisie of the Soviet population, weren’t involved in the military-industrial field?”

“It’s only the military-industrial field that deserves the absolute support of the state and makes it easier to achieve supremacy.”

A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the woman who was hugging her husband’s neck, then she kissed the man with a big smile, “That makes sense. I can’t let my husband down.”

London time, October 21, 1954, former Prime Minister of the British Empire, current member of the House of Commons, and leader of the Conservative Party, Churchill, formally announced his resignation as leader of the Conservative Party at this point in time, delivering a decent speech, wishing the Conservative Party another year of greatness under a new leader, and so on.

Speech when Churchill’s voice trembled, although the heart has been prepared, can leave the time is still difficult to avoid the heart of sadness, then, the news from London spread around the world.
