Jagged Germany

  Prime Minister Asquith and Lloyd George stared wide-eyed. The attitude of both of them is very firm, unwilling to compromise. This made it impossible to discuss the matter further.

  Prime Minister Asquith is determined to resign as prime minister, unwilling to take responsibility for the sinking of Britain. And Lloyd George is even more unwilling to take the blame. This makes the contradiction impossible to resolve.

   "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, why don't we find another candidate for the Prime Minister's successor. In this case, you can resign as Prime Minister, and I don't need to succeed as Prime Minister." Lloyd George said.

   Prime Minister Asquith nodded, this seemed to be the best way. However, other people are certainly not fools, how could they jump out to take over the post of prime minister at this time? Isn't that asking for trouble?

   "Other ministers in the cabinet, I am afraid that no one is willing to take over the post of prime minister?" Prime Minister Asquith said. It was precisely because of this that he wanted Lloyd George to take over. After all, Lloyd George was Deputy Prime Minister and it was his duty to take over as Prime Minister. But who knew Lloyd George would be so cunning? Would rather resign than take over as prime minister.

   "Your Excellency, other people may not be willing to take over the position of Prime Minister. But, I think, there is one person who will definitely be eager to become Prime Minister." Lloyd George said.

   Prime Minister Asquith frowned, but soon, his brows relaxed. He had thought of Lloyd? Who was George talking about? At the same time, he also believes that it is indeed a very good candidate for the prime minister's successor.

"His Excellency Churchill wants to continue to lead the British Empire and continue to fight until the Germans are defeated. Then, if he can become the Prime Minister of the British Empire, then he can implement his plan more easily. I think he will definitely He will not refuse to be the Prime Minister of the Empire. If this is the case, it is also good for us. If it is impossible, we will leave Britain immediately and go to Canada!" Lloyd George said.

   Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "Well, in this case, the possibility of Churchill succeeding as Prime Minister is undoubtedly very high. George, you go back first, I will let Churchill come over immediately, and talk to him again!"

   "Okay, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Lloyd George could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the hot potato of the prime ministership is not handed over to him, he will thank God for blessings.

   Churchill had just returned to the Admiralty when the Prime Minister's Office called and asked him to go to the Prime Minister's Office immediately. The Prime Minister had important matters to discuss with him.

  Although, this made Churchill a little confused. But he went to the Prime Minister's Palace by car again.

   When Churchill came to Prime Minister Asquith's office, he found that Asquith was already waiting for him.

   "Your Excellency, is there anything else?" Churchill asked.

"Your Excellency Churchill, I have thought about it for a long time. I personally admire your persistence. Everyone thinks that the British Empire has no chance and has lost confidence. However, you are still willing to continue fighting, This is very rare. I also sincerely hope that you can succeed." Prime Minister Asquith said.

   "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, thank you for your support. I promise, I will do my best to resist the German attack." Churchill said immediately. If he can get the Prime Minister's approval and support, then his plan will undoubtedly be easier to implement.

"However, Your Excellency Churchill. I believe that there will be a lot of troubles in the future. You are dedicated to the country, but there must be many people who don't understand. Besides, you are the Minister of the Navy. The Navy is fighting with the Germans again. During the naval battle, you suffered an unprecedented fiasco. This made other people even less willing to trust you. In the future, there will definitely be many people who will defy you." Prime Minister Asquith continued.

   Churchill nodded again and again, although he didn't know what Prime Minister Asquith was saying. However, he had to admit that what Prime Minister Asquith said was embarrassing for him.

   "Your Excellency Churchill, I have decided to fully support you!" Prime Minister Asquith continued.

   "Thank you, Prime Minister." Churchill was overjoyed. With the support of Prime Minister Asquith, his pressure will be reduced a lot.

   "I have decided to submit my resignation to His Majesty the King. You are the one who will take over my position as Prime Minister. I think you are the most suitable candidate." Prime Minister Asquith said suddenly.

  Churchill was stunned immediately, he had never expected such a turning point. Prime Minister Asquith actually wanted to resign and let him take over as Prime Minister.

   Churchill suddenly felt like being hit by a pie. After all, the position of prime minister is a huge temptation for anyone. But then, Churchill knew that there would not be such a good thing in the world. After thinking about it for a while, he knew Prime Minister Asquith's intention. Obviously, Prime Minister Asquith is not optimistic about the upcoming war, so he wants to pick a pick.

  However, the position of prime minister is very important to Churchill. If he can become the prime minister, then he can justifiably lead the soldiers and civilians of the British Empire and continue to resist according to his requirements. In this way, no one can disobey his orders, and no one dares to obey his orders. This will be very necessary to resist the German attack in the next war.

   "Your Excellency, this... this is too surprising to me?" Churchill said.

   "Your Excellency Churchill, this is after my careful consideration. Please don't refuse, because you are indeed the best candidate for prime minister." Prime Minister Asquith was afraid that Churchill would refuse, so he said hastily.

   Churchill thought for a while, and finally pretended to be very embarrassed, and accepted the proposal of Prime Minister Asquith.

   Seeing Churchill nod, Prime Minister Asquith was very happy.

   Early the next morning, Prime Minister Asquith went to Buckingham Palace to meet King George V.

   Prime Minister Asquith formally submitted his resignation to George V. King George V was extremely reluctant to stay, and hoped that Prime Minister Asquith could withdraw his resignation. However, Prime Minister Asquith's attitude was very firm. Seeing this, George V had no choice but to allow Prime Minister Asquith to resign.

   Regarding the successor, Asquith recommended Churchill. George V did not nod immediately, because according to the convention, Lloyd George should take over as prime minister. However, when other cabinet members supported Churchill's succession as prime minister, George V did not insist.

   In this way, Churchill miraculously became the trusted prime minister of the British Empire.
