At 4 p.m. on June 8, Washington, the capital of the United States, on the lawn in front of the White House.

Dozens of guards were scattered around the roofs of the White House or around the lawn, forming a vague encirclement, protecting the three people walking on the lawn in the middle.

Roosevelt was sitting upright in a wheelchair, his secretary was pushing the wheelchair in the back, and Viscount Halifax walked to the right side of the wheelchair.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, I've disturbed your weekend break," Halifax said.

"It's okay, Mr. Viscount," said Roosevelt.

The three of them walked to the shade of the thick yew trees on the lawn. Roosevelt sent the secretary and said bluntly: "I know your purpose, Mr. Viscount. The day before yesterday, I held a small meeting with some ministers and generals. At the meeting, I asked them if it was necessary to declare war on the Axis powers. The results of the discussion were still very unoptimistic, and the anti-war factions had the upper hand.

Their attitude largely reflects the attitudes of Congress and the people. I’m sorry, I can’t lead the United States into war by risking disobeying public opinion or even the risk of national division.”

In the end, this was the result, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in Halifax's heart.

Britain has really become a lonely army, and no real friend is willing to help Britain at this time.

Knowing that he could not convince Roosevelt, Halifax changed his strategy in time.

"Mr. President, I understand your difficulties very much, and I don't want you to go against public opinion. The Prime Minister wants me to ask you whether the US loan leasing bill and escort transportation can continue to be guaranteed?"

"Yes, but the transportation volume may be reduced, and more will be concentrated on the daily necessities," said Roosevelt.

The United States has lost confidence in the prospects of the war. They want to withdraw.

Halifax feels the situation is even worse.

"Mr. President, after Japan occupied Southeast Asia, it is very likely that a war against Australia will be launched. By that time, not only Britain, but also the interests of the United States in the Pacific will not be guaranteed. According to my understanding of Japan, their ambitions will never be satisfied. Wars between the United States and Japan will surely break out. I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance." Halifax said.

Roosevelt looked up and his gloomy gaze swept across Halifax's face.

"Thank you for your reminder. Mr. Viscount." Roosevelt said coldly.

Halifax was a little disappointed when he saw that Roosevelt did not express his opinion because of his provocation. He was about to speak again when he suddenly saw two people walking in the distance.

One is the secretary who just left, and the other is a general in military uniform.

It seemed that General Arnolden, why did he always come to disrupt the situation? Halifax thought resentfully.

Roosevelt stared at Viscount Halifax who had left in disappointment with his gloomy eyes, and did not look at General Arnold until his back disappeared.

"There is new progress in that matter?" Roosevelt asked.

"The news I just received was that the day before yesterday morning, the foreign ministers of four countries held another meeting at the German Foreign Ministry. After the meeting, Molotov and his men hurriedly left. It seemed that there was something urgent."

"There were major differences in their negotiations, or did there be major breakthroughs?" Roosevelt asked.

"I personally think that after nearly twenty days, the four countries suddenly restarted talks, and it would not be a major difference, but a resolution of the differences that arise in past meetings in these twenty days."

"We have a consistent view, and if this is true, it will be a Shakespearean tragedy for our British allies. I hope Mr. Churchill can withstand this heavy blow."

The next morning, No. 10 Downing Street, London, England.

Aiden was almost frightened when he walked into Churchill's office.

I saw Churchill's office, smoke was shrouded in smoke and smelly.

Looking at Churchill, who was covered in smoke and alcohol, had messy hair and swollen eyes, Aiden said in pain: "You haven't slept all night?"

Churchill nodded blankly.

Aiden picked up an empty bottle of wine and asked, "Drink a bottle of whiskey?"

Churchill still nodded in confusion.

"The afternoon is voting. No matter what the voting result is, you always have to show up in public. How do you show up in public now?"

Churchill looked at the watch and said with his tongue wide, "It's still early, I have time to take a shower and have a sleep, and then go to Westminster Palace. I'll go to bed first, goodbye."

Aiden looked at Churchill, who was shaking and pushing the door open, and couldn't speak. Finally, he had to stomp his feet and leave No. 10 Downing Street, waiting for goodbye in the afternoon.

More than three hours later, Churchill was awakened from his sleep by his secretary.

Churchill opened his mouth and a smell of wine came to his face, making his secretary grin and his teeth smolder.

"Sir Prime Minister, it's time to get up. In addition, there is a telegram that requires you to read."

"Take it over, I'll see it here."

After a while, Churchill leaned against the head of the bed and read two emergency reports with drunken eyes.

The first telegram was bad news. The British army in Hong Kong Island could not resist the Japanese attack and decided to surrender to the Japanese army.

The second telegram was a quasi-bad news. The Japanese army was rampant on the Malay Peninsula and has now attacked Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Once Kuala Lumpur is lost, the fall of the Malay Peninsula will only be a blink of an eye. The occupation of the Malay Peninsula means that the Strait of Malacca is blocked, and the main force of the Japanese joint fleet can enter the Indian Ocean at any time and meet with the German and Italian Navy.

"Put it away first, wait until I come back from Westminster Palace before dealing with it." Churchill said, rubbing his slightly painful head.

The vote of distrust was held at 2 pm, and it was almost time to set off.

Churchill got up with his bulky body and washed up, dressed neatly. Just as he was about to go out, Aiden suddenly broke into the living room and sent a telegram to him.

"This is a telegram sent by Viscount Halifax, and the Americans still refuse to join the war, and...you can see it yourself."

"Americans want to reduce the transportation volume and only guarantee the transportation of daily necessities?" Churchill said with a wry smile after reading the telegram. "I guessed they would do this, and it won't take long to urge us to pay back the debt. The supplies we rented are not free."

"What should we do?" Aiden asked.

"I'll talk about it when I come back from Westminster Palace." Churchill said, rubbing his swelling temples.

More than ten minutes later, Churchill and Aiden's cars stopped in front of the Westminster Palace.

Churchill looked at the time, at 1:45.

"You go in. This is not the first time you have experienced such a scene, and nothing will happen." Aiden kindly enlightened Churchill.

Churchill rubbed his still painful head and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I won't have anything to do, see you later."

After saying that, Churchill strode into Westminster Palace and drove directly to the conference room.

Facing the various sarcastic gazes of the congressmen, Churchill stopped as soon as he walked into the conference room door.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is an emergency message we just received, sent by MI6." His secretary trotted and caught up with him and handed a telegram to Churchill.

What happened again? Churchill forced himself to endure the severe pain in his head, picked up the telegram and read it.

Ten seconds later, Churchill's fat body shook with horror eyes, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground like a boneless one, and the telegram also fell from his hands to the ground.

The conference room first fell into a strange silence, and then became in chaos.

Several members of the parliamentarian who had a close relationship with Churchill rushed forward and set up Churchill with his secretary to come to the lounge next to him, and then called the doctor.

In the chaos, Churchill's old rival, Councillor Wardlow, picked up the telegram from the ground.

This morning, the Soviet Union and Germany invaded Iran from the northern and western borders respectively, and are currently advancing towards Tehran, the capital of Iran.

Wardlow was stunned at the telegram.

Did the Soviet Union join forces with Germany?

This world is crazy!

About three hours later, news came from the hospital that Prime Minister Churchill had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. After rescue, he was out of danger of life, but he was unable to take care of himself for the rest of his life, and he could no longer fulfill his obligations.

Clement Richard Attlee, the Minister of Seals and Chairman of the Speaker Committee of the Privy Council, served as acting Prime Minister under the expectations of the public.

The next day, the news of Churchill's cerebral hemorrhage spread rapidly in countries around the world through radio and newspapers, causing lamentations and cheers.

In the United States, Roosevelt sighed to his staff with regret: "It is really unfortunate that he failed to withstand the bad news of the Soviet-German alliance. We must adjust our diplomatic strategies against Germany and Britain in time to avoid fighting on the Atlantic and Pacific lines."

In Italy, Mussolini, who fought with Churchill for national interests but had good personal relationships, said with regret: "My old friend, you fell down like this. I really can't understand what ulterior motives you have destroyed Britain and yourself to this point."

In Japan, Japanese Prime Minister Moon-ri Kobe excitedly said to Emperor Hirohito: "Your Majesty, Churchill is seriously ill, the new Prime Minister comes to power, the people in the UK are in panic, the combat effectiveness of the troops in various colonies will be sharply reduced, the Great Japanese Empire has established a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle, and realizing Your Majesty's dream of eight desolates and one universe is just around the corner. Long live Your Majesty."

Hirohito still showed his seemingly profound smile.

"Thank you for your hard work in the Guards, remember to report the list of meritorious ministers, and I will personally award them medals."

In Germany, Hitler and Gorene celebrated each other. Hitler said: "Churchill's fate is a role model, and anyone who opposes Germany should take this as a warning."

After the joy of Hitler, Goering and others gradually subsided, Chen Daogui advised: "First of the People's Republic of China, I think we should send a big man with enough weight to visit Churchill. But after Britain surrendered, what do you think of my advice?"

"The winner should be generous, I agree." Hitler said without hesitation.
