You can't survive without victory

This retreat, code-named "dynamo", faced layer upon layer of obstacles in the planning stage, and even the simple question of "whether to proceed" provoked debates in the British cabinet at the time. The then British Prime Minister Churchill, who had just assumed office for 16 days, succeeded Chamberlain who lost the trust of the people. Churchill has always given people a stubborn and belligerent image. He has always been the biggest opponent of the palliative policy. It is better to say that he has no fear of war. He, who is familiar with the international situation, has long been alert to the crisis that will result from repeated concessions.

However, even if his position is clear, the popular database cabinet he faces and the whole of the UK have not yet shaken off the cowardly and partial mentality, especially after the one-sided defeat in the war, the conservatives headed by Sir Halifax began to re-emerge. The old tune of appeasement policy hopes to conduct peace talks through the Mussolini government in Italy as an intermediary, so that the besieged British army chooses to surrender instead of trying to rescue.

Churchill resolutely opposed it, and the two sides launched a heated debate. After the use of various political means, this man once shouted: "Victory at all costs, no matter how terrifying, no matter how far and hard the road is, but also to strive for victory, Because there is no way to survive without victory.” The prime minister finally took the lead in the policy, completely reversed the atmosphere of appeasement, and established the conduct of the retreat. The Prime Minister, who never surrendered, established a new national policy and spirit for Britain.
