Chapter 169, The Prime Minister Who Had a Stroke
What some people may not know is that among the leaders of the great powers during World War II, Winston Churchill had the most prominent background.
Churchill's ancestor was the famous Duke of Marlborough, who had won many battles in the War of Spanish Succession. He established a mission to defeat the arrogant French "Sun King" Louis XIV and crush the Bourbon dynasty's ambition to dominate Europe. contribution. For this reason, Queen Anne of England at that time specially rewarded the Duke of Marlborough with a royal palace - Blenheim Palace near Oxford.
In British history, Churchill's family is the only one who can live in a palace without being born into the royal family.
Therefore, in terms of noble blood and prominent family status, Churchill's family is the top among modern British aristocrats, enough to look down upon the contemporary wandering painter Hitler, tabloid reporter Mussolini and Stalin, who was born into a shoemaker family. Roosevelt, who also came from an American political family, was completely incomparable to Churchill in terms of family background. In Chinese history, it was at least the level of the Wang Xie family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Winston Churchill lived and grew up in Blenheim Palace when he was a child, and left many wonderful memories here. Therefore, when the disgraced and exhausted Churchill set foot on England again, the most urgent desire in his heart was to go home.
Although there should be no relatives left in this ruined country, at least there is still a place he once called "home".
Regrettably, despite such an eager desire, Winston Churchill, a traveler who had returned from a long journey, was still unable to step into his home... Outside the gate of Blenheim Palace, Churchill and his party were actually encountered by more than a dozen people. Concentrated fire sniper shooting with a rifle! Fortunately, no one or the car suffered any serious injuries.
What shocked and angered Churchill even more was that the once luxurious, elegant and graceful Blenheim Palace had not only become far more dilapidated than Windsor Castle, but had also been transformed into an ugly, ferocious but... Strong fortress: A wide and deep trench was dug around the palace, and many sharpened wooden stakes were poked at the bottom of the trench. Some of the buildings of the palace itself were knocked down, and their masonry, earth, and debris were used to form a defensive wall similar to a barricade. A small-caliber anti-tank gun was also hung on the roof of the main building, turning it into a simple fort...
——Obviously, during the period when Britain fell into a land of chaos, Blenheim Palace, which once belonged to the Churchill family, has been occupied by a group of armed refugees, or gangs, of unknown origin. Moreover, the other party is very hostile and is obviously not a being that can communicate peacefully.
Therefore, Churchill, whose arm was grazed by a bullet, had no choice but to turn around and return angrily. Fortunately, the jeep was not damaged or leaked oil, and the armed gang entrenched in Blenheim Palace did not come out to pursue Churchill and his party... To make matters worse, on the way back to Windsor Castle, Churchill was unfortunately caught in a heavy rain. As a result, as soon as the group returned to Windsor Castle, the fat old man who had a family and could not return home fell ill...
——The bad living habits of smoking and drinking for a long time, the huge mental blow of losing the war and subjugating the country, the damage to health caused by running around the world, the depression of having a home and not being able to return, and the unforgiving age... In the end, he was injured and exposed to the rain. As a trigger, all the problems in the body burst out!
As a result, Churchill collapsed from the disease. Although he did not suffer from any terminal illness, just a common cold, he was in bed for three months because of his poor health... Fortunately, he got the disease at Windsor Castle. Thanks to the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, some medicines left by the Soviets, and the careful care of his trusted servants, the fat old man finally survived. But by the time he was able to walk around, it was already February of the following year.

Although this serious illness almost killed Churchill, he also thought about many things clearly during the three months he spent lying in bed.
In other words, Churchill thought he had figured out a lot of things.
First of all, Churchill had to admit that after experiencing this catastrophe, Britain would definitely never be able to return to its past appearance. The authority of the old ruling class had long been trampled into the mud. Nobility and family status will no longer be regarded as the same thing by anyone. A nobleman like him will definitely fall into the mortal world, but this is their own fault as the ruling class. Since they lost the war, they should accept the harshest punishment...
Therefore, even if one is robbed of his ancestral manor and property, under this background, there is nothing to complain about.
Secondly, all the British who survived this catastrophe are the strongest, toughest, and most precious survivors. They will shoulder the important task of reviving the Anglo-Saxon nation...if they don't behave tougher and more violently. , how can we survive in this cruel world?
Compared with England's future hopes, the ownership of a mere Blenheim Palace is nothing at all. And for him, a sinner who lost the world war, he deserved punishment... Thinking of this, Churchill gradually calmed down, and his body began to recover.
However, some time later, when Churchill, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was walking in the courtyard of Windsor Castle wearing a coat and leaning on a cane, he accidentally noticed that the originally empty Windsor Town not far away was filled with unknown objects. At that time, it actually gained some popularity, and there was still smoke rising from the kitchen.
Could this... be loyal subjects scattered across the United Kingdom? They heard that the Queen had returned, so they came to Windsor to serve the royal family and seek asylum?
Curious and excited, Churchill excitedly came to the town with his valet to find out. As a result, he discovered that there seemed to be some subtle differences between the current situation in Windsor Town and his guess: Windsor Town, which had been completely abandoned, had indeed become prosperous again. Some of the houses that are basically intact are already occupied, while other dilapidated houses have been roughly repaired. Others used the remaining wall roots and foundations to build shacks. Although they looked simple and messy, they at least made the place no longer dead and had some life.
However, these new residents of Windsor Town are obviously not traditional residents of the island of Great Britain - among the new residents who have recently appeared in Windsor Town, a small half are black and a large half are white, but even those white people follow the traditional The appearance and physical appearance of the British were very different. They spoke some languages that Churchill could not understand at all, and they were divided into several small groups. They were distinct from each other and were vaguely wary and hostile to each other. On the other hand, many of those black people could speak English, but unfortunately their accents were so weird that Churchill couldn't figure out their origins for a while. And looking at the appearance of these black people with big muscles, round waists, and fleshy faces, and looking at his own old arms and legs, Churchill, who had already suffered a loss once, did not dare to casually approach them to inquire.

Just when he was confused and confused, he suddenly saw Arnold Joseph Toynbee standing at the intersection of the town, negotiating something with an arrogant Soviet officer. So, after the Soviet officers left, Churchill got closer and tried to learn from Toynbee the origins of these foreigners in Windsor... Then, he got such an unexpected answer.
"...The identities of these people in Windsor Town? They are all Stalin's exiles just like us!" Toynbee said with a stinking face.
"...exiles?" Churchill's eyes widened, "...but they are obviously not British!"
"...Of course they are all foreigners. In the town of Windsor alone, there are Turks, Afghans and Chechens from the North Caucasus. They are all 'class enemies' who resisted Soviet rule. Those black people are captured British After the war, the soldiers of the indigenous troops in the imperial colonies originally wanted to be repatriated to South Africa, but the South African authorities refused to accept them, so the Soviets threw them to the island of Great Britain too! "
Toynbee explained angrily, "...the more than a thousand people who were exiled to Windsor are only a small part of this group of exiles. There are many more exiles who have been placed in the In addition to the ethnic groups I just mentioned, there are also Arabs, Indians, and Southeast Asians in other British counties. Aboriginals, as well as serious criminals from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries! All the bastards that the Soviet authorities did not want were thrown to the island of Great Britain! What a hell to think about in the future! I can’t even sleep peacefully with people as neighbors!”
"...This...this...God! What does Stalin think of the island of Great Britain? How could he do such a thing?!"
Churchill's breathing suddenly became rapid, his old face turned red, and his chest rose and fell like a bellows, "...This is not his Siberia! This is our motherland! This is the land that belongs to us Anglo-Saxons! How could he...how could he..."
"...Haha, of course Stalin can do whatever he wants! We have been defeated! This island country no longer belongs to us!"
Toynbee gave him a cold look, with unspeakable condemnation, sorrow and despair in his eyes, "...Losers have no power! Mr. Churchill! No matter Stalin is planning to turn Great Britain into a penal colony or a trash can , we can only endure it silently. Just like the colonial natives back then... Besides, Mr. Prime Minister, isn’t it all thanks to you that the island of Great Britain has ended up like this?”
He put away his last courtesy, pointed at Churchill's nose, snorted coldly, put on his hat, turned around and left without looking back.
Watching Toynbee disappear at the end of the street, Churchill turned around blankly on crutches, but happened to see several newly arrived Afghan exiles tearing down the cross on the top of an abandoned chapel. And several other black people were carving an oak beam into a strange totem pole... These discoveries seemed to have stimulated him, his expression became very strange, and the corners of his mouth trembled one after another.
"...Why is this like this? After the collapse of the empire, will there be a barbarian invasion immediately? God, what will happen next?! Everything is over. Under the sky of Rome, people speaking foreign languages are looking up. The crowds of people, the earth and the sea were turned upside down..."
After standing there stunned for a while, Churchill muttered confusing words in his mouth, while leaning on his crutches, he turned around and walked back toward Windsor Castle. However, before he could take a few steps, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground.
The loyal valet rushed over and tried to help Churchill up. Upon closer inspection, he found that his old master's mouth and eyes were crooked, foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching, and he made a "haha" sound in his throat. But I couldn't say anything...I was suddenly shocked:
"...He's dead! The Prime Minister has had a stroke!!!"
