Chapter 109 History takes a turn
Pa! ! !
A newspaper was thrown heavily on the table, and King George VI angrily roared at Propaganda Minister Bracken
"Asshole! You are going to let me write this kind of report. Is my daughter going to die?!"
Bracken took out his handkerchief to wipe the saliva from his face and glanced at Prime Minister Churchill beside him.
"You are the boss, and you asked me to publish the article. Now that my father is here, you have to speak..."
"Ahem!" The Prime Minister coughed lightly and picked up the newspaper on the table, seemingly looking at it seriously. Suddenly, it read "St. George Bless England" on the front page. The picture was a huge photo. Among the crowd, a fifteen-year-old girl raised the St. George flag high in her hands, while the people around her all around her.
The style of the entire photo is like the world-famous painting "Liberty Leading the People"
The main writer of the article wrote in extremely provocative words:
"In 353 Before, the great English navy hoisted the blood-red triangular flag of St. George in the Atlantic Ocean, which represented our will to fight bloody battles and never retreat. Now this flag has returned to the hands of the same noble name." (The British government at that time of Elizabeth I)
"We are now facing a more powerful enemy, and that flag has appeared again, being held high in the hands of a brave girl. She is fearless and brave. She is only 15 years old, but she can fly a fighter jet and fight fiercely against the ferocious enemy alone. , just to fulfill the promise of protecting the weak and defending the nation!"
"This is a journey spanning three hundred years! The cycle of years will come again, and victory will surely come again in our hands! "
"St. George bless England! St. Elizabeth bless England!"
The words are very bold, not only the Any girl with a title was associated with the legendary Queen Elizabeth I, and a holy word was added to her name without permission.
The Holy See may not be satisfied, but the people's support for the royal family has reached its peak through this article and photos.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Elizabeth's current state is almost like being put on a fire rack, and her every move is watched by people from all walks of life.
"Your Majesty, please don't get excited. This is just necessary political propaganda." Churchill first calmed the furious monarch. "Actually, this is not a bad thing. With this resume, Her Royal Highness's future political Her career will be very smooth, and the people will definitely support her."
George VI calmed down a little bit, "So what about now? Can the princess get off again if she just gets there? This time, the enemy can use this as an excuse to attack us and it is an ugly political show. If I let my Elizabeth continue to fly, how will you ensure her safety?"
I have to say, This king, who has stuttered since childhood, has suffered from health problems, and is more politically inclined to Chamberlain's appeasement policy, can only be regarded as a mediocre or even ordinary ruler, but to his daughter, he can be regarded as a Good father. At this moment, the consideration is not how to expand political influence, but the safety of the eldest daughter.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we have made careful arrangements. Please look here." Air Force Commander Hugh Dowding took the conversation and raised his hand to let someone open the slide on the side. A group of people appeared on it. A chubby guy.
"This is our latest invention. Engineers call it radar. With it, we can always keep track of the movements of German aircraft."
"So?" The king obviously did not understand what the other party meant.
“What I mean is to let Her Royal Highness the Princess act as an air patrol. It’s still the gray-white Spitfire. We will send the best pilot to fly it. The Princess only needs to wait until the enemy has arrived. Turn around in the air. After getting the warning, we can quickly guide Guide her to land."
Churchill continued, "This can not only enhance the public's confidence in resistance, but also improve the princess's image in the hearts of the people, and ensure her safety to the greatest extent."
< br>"Is this foolproof?" George VI asked in a deep voice. "There is no such thing as foolproof in flying, but this is the safest method." Hugh Dowding said immediately.
"Well~" the king pondered for a moment, "I want to hear her own thoughts. If she doesn't want to, I will not force her in any way."
" No need to ask, I am willing!" came a female voice, and the eldest princess pushed the door in. Unexpectedly, she had been eavesdropping for a long time.
The girl walked up to Churchill "Mr. Prime Minister, as a member of the royal family, I have an obligation to stand up when the country is facing threats, but I have a condition."
"We will be the biggest I will meet your requirements to the maximum extent possible." Churchill accepted it without even thinking about it.
"I want to personally choose the driver who will take me to heaven!" The girl straightened her body and expressed her request.
In this way, after the leadership reached an agreement, the eldest princess Elizabeth instantly became the focus of wartime propaganda. The feat of taking off to meet the German army that day was reported in more detail because there were a large number of witnesses. The public's recognition of princesses is very high. When mentioning the word princess, they often add "our" in front of it.
The historical rails were quietly moved here. In the original history, Elizabeth joined the army in order to boost morale and received the title of lieutenant. However, she joined the auxiliary motor transport unit, and Today's Air Force is a far cry from that.
Although everyone, including He Chi, who was forcibly recruited as a pilot, believed that Elizabeth was just a mascot-like existence in the Air Force, but who can say accurately about what happens in the sky?
Belgium, the temporary base of the 26th Fighter Wing of the Luftwaffe, Adolf Galland is packing his bags. He has just been notified that he will return to Berlin to be awarded a medal and get the opportunity to meet the head of state. To reward him for achieving double ace.
But his interest is not high now.
That afternoon, the white figure soaring in the sky lingered in his mind for a while.
Even the Knight's Cross of Swords and the status of lieutenant colonel commander he had already obtained could not lift his spirits. Now Adolf Galand just wanted to fly into the sky again, and with that white The Spitfires duked it out in an upright manner.
"Congratulations, Adolf, you will be my commander when you come back this time." Flight Captain Hawke Duwe opened the door and came in.
"You know, I actually don't care about this. Enjoying the battle is what I want." Garland said indifferently, and then handed his companion a cigar, "Want one?"
Hawke waved his hand, "This is still a military camp, and I don't have as many kills as you to be unscrupulous. I'm here to tell you news today. The person you have been looking for has appeared."
"Oh. ?" Garland suddenly became interested.
"See for yourself." The companion dropped a newspaper, with a white Spitfire soaring in the sky at the top.
Garland looked at it twice and threw the half-packed suitcase back into the closet.
