Britain The capital is London, which was once the most prosperous city in the world. As the world overlord capital of the British Empire, London can be called the center of the world.

But sadly, those days are gone. The powerful British Empire collapsed in this war, which directly made London no longer prosperous. Even when the war was about to break out here, the entire London had become turbulent.

The residents living in London have already escaped long ago. Except for those who really had no place to escape, everyone who could escape had already fled. The rest are mostly just the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Millions of troops entered London and surrounding areas. They were busy building fortifications every day, almost turning the entire London into a huge construction site. The labor of millions of soldiers was very fruitful. At least, London has completely changed due to their efforts.

The bustling streets were dug into pits and filled with barricades and fire points. The windows of many buildings were also sandbagged. These buildings would become the high ground once in battle but not destroyed by enemy artillery. Deploying a machine gun can block a large area and cause huge casualties to the enemy.

It can be said that London has now completely turned into a city of war and soldiers. Everyone here has only one thought, which is to defeat the Germany people and defend London in the upcoming war. Of course, it is very difficult to say whether this can be achieved.

Buckingham Palace, as the most magnificent palace König, this place is also in a state of tension and panic. The palace guards stood ready, as if an enemy would attack them at any moment. Of course, these palace guards are just showing up. Wearing gorgeous clothes, their real combat effectiveness is not as good as those veterans who survived the battlefield. In addition, if even these palace guards need to go to the battlefield, then the battle situation has developed to an extremely unfavorable situation for Britain.

A car with a Prime Minister's residence traffic sign drove into the Han Palace. After the car was stable, Prime Minister Churchill and Minister of War Richard Haldan got out of the car. The expressions on both of their faces were very solemn, as if someone owed them money and hadn't paid them back.

"Your Excellencies, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the office!" Servant said.

Churchill and Richard Haldan nodded and went straight to King George V's office.

"Your Majesty, good afternoon!" Churchill and Richard Haldan greeted respectfully. Although, König no longer has any real power. However, it still has a very high prestige among the people. This makes these Cabinet senior officials still behave respectfully and modestly in front of König.

"Your Excellencies, please sit down!" King George V said. His Majesty the King looked very tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not rested for a long time.

In fact, King George V started to worry after German military landing in Britain. Although he knew that the possibility of the British army resisting the German military attack was very small. But he still hopes for a miracle. However, God does not seem to favor Britain people anymore. Not only did the miracle not happen, but they also waited for the bad news of the British army's defeat.

"Prime Minister, Minister of War. The Germany people's attack on London will start soon, right? Can we withstand the Germany people's attack here?" King George V no longer seems to have any confidence in this.

"Your Majesty, we will do our best to defend London! In the past few months, we have been strengthening London's defense. Now we have achieved initial results." Churchill said.

"So, is it possible for us to resist the attack of Germany?" King George V asked.

"Your Majesty, this is probably very difficult! The attack power displayed by the Germany people on the battlefield is far beyond our expectations. Of course we can use fortifications to attack the Germany people. But whether we can succeed is undoubtedly difficult to say." Richard Haldan said.

Battle of Canterbury After the tragic defeat, the morale and confidence of the British army have been severely damaged. This makes Richard Haldan not have much confidence in the next battle.

"Is British Empire destined to be destroyed this time?" King George V couldn't help but sigh.

George V feels very aggrieved. Why is his luck so bad? While others were acting like König, British Empire dominated the world and continued to expand its territory. No other country in the world dares to confront British Empire. It was his turn to be König, but British Empire fell straight from the top to the bottom without even a transition period. Now, the enemy has landed on British mainland, which has never happened in hundreds of years. British Empire is already facing a life and death crisis. If things go wrong, British Empire's destruction is right in front of us!

"Your Majesty, even if London falls, or the entire Britain falls, British Empire will not be destroyed. We will continue to persevere." A trace of determination flashed in Churchill's eyes.

Even though the current situation is very unfavorable to Britain, Churchill is still confident that they can win the final victory.

"Your Majesty, we have prepared everything in Canada. Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary has arrived in Canada first, and we have reached an agreement with the Americans. If the mainland falls, we will go to Canada to continue fighting. The United States will give us the greatest support. We may fail in this war. However, we may not have a chance to defeat the Germans in the next war. As long as we can defeat the Germans in the next war, the British Empire will have a chance to revive!" Churchill said.

"Canada?" George V frowned. Although Canada has a vast territory, other conditions are too poor. George V obviously believes that it is undoubtedly very difficult to rely on Canada to revive British Empire.

"Your Majesty, Germany people are about to launch an attack on London. We hope Your Majesty can leave London and go to Canada. In this way, Your Majesty's safety can be guaranteed. At the same time, we can lead Empire's subjects to continue fighting when the situation is not good for us!" Churchill continued.

George V was a little hesitant. Although he was afraid of death, he also didn't want to escape British mainland. After leaving British mainland, is his König still König?

However, after careful consideration, King George V nodded and agreed to leave Britain.
