“Mr. Attlee, long time no see!”
Hearing this familiar voice, Attlee was shocked.
He was too familiar with this voice, because on the eve of the fall of the empire, it was the breakdown of his negotiations with this man that caused the German army to completely lose patience and no longer pin their hopes on peace talks, but chose to resolve the battle by force, which led to the devastating disaster of the Fog City and even the entire British Empire!
It can be said that among the 20 million people who died in the British Empire war, more than half of them died because of him, Attlee.
Attlee didn’t tell anyone about this secret, he didn’t dare to say it, because he knew he couldn’t bear such terrible consequences!
Therefore, his greatest wish was to spend the rest of his life in peace and he didn’t want to mention this matter again.
However, Ribbentrop’s arrival undoubtedly broke the tranquility of his life!
“You, what are you doing here?”
Having failed to defeat the other party at the negotiation table and reach a treaty favorable to the British Empire, Attlee was even less confident when he faced Ribbentrop again as a prisoner of the other party!
Moreover, he could not figure out the purpose of the other party’s visit, but he instinctively felt that something was not good!
“Of course I came to catch up with my old friend!”
Ribbentrop looked him up and down with a smile. He was a little surprised. Looking at Attlee’s state, he seemed to be very satisfied with his life on the farm. This adaptability was really admirable.
After all, from a high-ranking government official in the upper class, to becoming a prisoner of war, being sent to a wild place like Scotland to deal with loess, this huge gap, most people might not be able to accept it, right?
No wonder the Prime Minister chose him. Just for this reason, he deserves to be looked up to!
“Haha, Mr. Foreign Minister, you are joking. I am a prisoner, so how could I expect the busy Foreign Minister of the Third Reich to visit me? What’s more, the relationship between you and me is not even that of friends. So I think Mr. Foreign Minister, you don’t need to beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want!”
After the initial chaos, Attlee quickly calmed down.
He knew that the other party must have some purpose for this visit, and this purpose was most likely related to himself.
Since Ribbentrop came in person, it means that his personal safety is still no problem. If the other party really wants to kill him, there is no need to make a trip in person. A telegram or even a phone call can cost him his life!
He made such a big fuss and it is very likely that he needs to do something for him or even for the Third Reich.
Considering his identity as a senior official of the former British government, Attlee already had an idea in his mind, and he probably guessed what the other party was going to say!
Ribbentrop smiled and nodded:”As expected of the Home Secretary of the British Empire, Sir Attlee’s vision is indeed sharp. Yes, I came here specifically to find you!”
“What do you want from me?”
Seeing that the other party’s words confirmed his judgment, Attlee breathed a sigh of relief and became alert again.
“Of course it’s a good thing!”
“The head of the empire is about to end the military rule of the British Empire. The head of the empire cannot bear to see the British Empire residents suffer from the misery of being displaced, poorly clothed and hungry, so in the spirit of humanitarianism, he intends to help your country restore its independence!”
While speaking, Ribbentrop observed Attlee’s expression.
Sure enough, when he heard the word”restoration”, Attlee’s pupils suddenly shrank!
Although he concealed it well and returned to normal in an instant, it seemed as if nothing had happened, but all of this was seen clearly by Ribbentrop, and he was not deceived by the other party!
“Really? But what does this have to do with me? I’m just an ordinary farmer!”
Attlee’s words sounded a little insincere. Although on the surface he seemed to not care at all, from the details of his right hand clenched into a fist so tightly that his knuckles began to turn white, he was definitely not as calm and indifferent as he looked! If the
British Empire wants to restore its country, who will be the king and who will be the prime minister?
These questions are all very critical!
They took the initiative to find him, and they must hope to use their prestige and influence in the British Empire to serve as cabinet officials, and this official is very likely to be the prime minister!
Sure enough, Ribbentrop soon spoke:”Sir Attlee, I now officially announce that your reform life in the Scottish Farm has officially ended, and the Empire will officially restore your title of knight. In addition, the head of Mainz has nominated you as the new prime minister of the British Empire. You will be responsible for leading the work of restoring the British Empire!”
Ribbentrop’s words made Attlee excited, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
The position of Prime Minister of the British Empire!
This was what he had been thinking about before the war, but unfortunately he had not been able to achieve his wish until the British Empire was destroyed!
And at this moment, this position was so close to him. As long as he nodded, his dream would come true, which made his heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid.
“How about it, not interested? If not, forget it. Anyway, we have captured many high-ranking officials of the British Empire, including former Prime Minister Sir Stanley. I think he should be interested in this proposal!”
Seeing the hesitation on the other side, Ribbentrop immediately threw out another person’s name, which made Attlee anxious!
“I can accept the appointment of the head of state, but the British Empire has been rebuilt in South Asia, and His Majesty King George V has appointed Churchill as the new Prime Minister of the Cabinet. It is impossible for me to be recognized as the Prime Minister!!”
Attlee struggled and hesitated for a long time, and expressed his concerns.
He still couldn’t resist this temptation, and if he didn’t become the Prime Minister, sooner or later someone else would become the Prime Minister!
If this position was taken away by someone else, then he might really have to spend the rest of his life in this wild farm! Although the days on the farm were still abundant, he couldn’t help but feel excited when he thought of his comfortable and luxurious upper-class aristocratic life!
No one can refuse such a life, not even him!
However, being the Prime Minister is not so easy. If the name is not right, the words will not flow. The British Empire has established a new government and appointed a new Prime Minister. Even if he succeeds as Prime Minister in the Fog City, I am afraid he will not be recognized by many people!
Therefore, if this problem is not solved, he will be in name only, and he is just a pure puppet.
“Churchill was appointed by King George V, and you will be appointed by the Queen. You are not loyal to the King of India!”
“What, the Queen? What Queen?”
Attlee was stunned for a moment. How come he had never heard of a Queen in the British Empire?
Did George V pass on the throne?
“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, this is your new monarch!”
