More than 60 years ago in the British Senate: there was a storm of impeachment of Prime Minister Churchill all the way, because Churchill, as Prime Minister, not only deliberately concealed in advance the information that the German army would carry out a devastating bombing of the city of Coventry, but instead issued a wrong order to mobilize the public to evacuate urgently to avoid the earthquake, resulting in the death of more than 600 citizens in the carpet bombing by German planes. For this reason, after the war MPs impeached Churchill, who had grossly neglected his duties, without mercy.

Strangely enough, the impeachment campaign died down for no apparent reason, and Churchill continued to serve as Prime Minister. The attempted impeachment of the Prime Minister became a mystery that remained hidden for more than 60 years across the centuries. Only tomorrow, in the 21st century, was it declassified by the British National Intelligence Service. British reportage writer Michael wrote a true story revealing the mystery of the attempted impeachment of the Prime Minister. This has led to greater admiration and reverence for Prime Minister Churchill among all those who are attentive and familiar with this period of history. There were even those gray-haired people who came to Churchill's grave with their old and weak, weeping and confessing that they had wasted Churchill for so long ......

What kind of a past is this?

"The Nightingale (nightingale) warm song"

On the night of November 12, 1940, British spies sent a deciphered telegram to Prime Minister Churchill in a hurry. Churchill received the telegram and read it quickly, but was shocked. The telegram informed that within 48 hours German planes would attack the British city of Coventry, and the operation was intended to be code-named "The Nightingale".

The "Nightingale" was a strategy that Hitler thought he was proud of.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Hitler lost a lot of manpower and resources to painstakingly develop a cipher machine called "Enigma". This cipher machine can combine letters at will, with unlimited encryption, and can also be changed once a day, with absolutely no mistakes and duplication. Hitler was so proud of this that he boasted to his men more than once that no one in the world could decipher it except the German inventors and users.

The German army was even more arrogant since it had the Enigma, and the codes they issued could not be deciphered by anyone, so they could issue orders as they pleased, and let their plans to slaughter and plunder other countries after another fly through the air with the airwaves.

But Churchill was no ordinary man, and he refused to be slaughtered by Hitler. He organized his highly skilled agents to obtain an "Enigma" cipher machine in August 1939, and immediately organized an army of 10,000 British military scientists to work day and night in shifts to decipher its code. After a few months, the British experts finally deciphered the Enigma telegram. From then on the RAF turned around the situation of being passive. They often attacked the Luftwaffe automatically based on the correct information and hit them head-on, resulting in heavy losses to the Luftwaffe.

Hitler suspected that the "Enigma" cipher machine, which he considered the jewel of his life, had been compromised and decided to set up an air raid to test it. If the operation was again met by a prepared British counterattack, it would mean that the British had indeed mastered the code of the Enigma cipher machine and urgently needed to develop an updated one.

Hitler gave the test air raid the code name "Nightingale" ......

Hitler was right, and as soon as his "Nightingale" operation was sent to the Luftwaffe, British spies intercepted and deciphered the horrific massacre order and placed it on Churchill's desk.

Putting a plan in place

Churchill's heart trembled as he sat down on the sofa and rubbed his temples with his fingers crossed, his heart filled with violent contradictions. His heart is clear as a mirror, protect Coventry will be the same as informing Hitler "Enigma" has been deciphered, said not to protect more can not, this bright city is likely to be razed by the German warplanes into a piece of rubble. What to do? What to do? How can we crush Hitler's plot and avoid the bombing of enemy aircraft? How to protect the lives of nearly 100,000 citizens throughout Coventry?

After more than an hour of painful decisions, Churchill finally came up with a plan that was not a plan but the best of both worlds. Churchill sighed in resignation and decided to decide to throw away the pawn for the sake of the whole war and the British Empire.

Once the decision was made, Churchill jumped up and immediately mobilized a whole division of troops to fly to Coventry, and then seeped into the entire city of Coventry like water, with all the local armed forces there all the way night and day, knocking on the doors of the citizen's door to door, tirelessly announced to the citizens: according to reliable guesses, Coventry in the next two days will face a devastating earthquake, please evacuate all the citizens immediately Coventry All citizens were asked to evacuate Coventry immediately and take shelter elsewhere for a while, and then return to their homes once the terrible earthquake had passed.

However, there were still regrets. Although the generals, together with the local armed militia of Coventry, notified every household, there were still many citizens who were afraid of trouble and who thought they could escape from the earthquake, but they did not cooperate or obey, even though the generals mobilized them at the door. Some of them rowed their boats to the lake and made a temporary home there. They think that in that open lake, even if the earthquake of magnitude 10 will not affect their lives. As soon as the earth stopped trembling, they could return to their homes in the first place.

Some people may ask since Churchill sent so many people door-to-door to inform, then why not tell the truth? Because only by telling the truth would the citizens automatically cooperate, automatically evacuate their hometown, and hide far away.

This is where Churchill was in a dilemma after receiving the paper code, and where Churchill was almost impeached by the MPs afterward.

It took two days and one night of door-to-door notification, and it was only an hour before the "Nightingale" was due to move that the soldiers finally evacuated the city of Coventry. As soon as the soldiers were evacuated from Coventry, a large number of German bombers swept in like a dark cloud, unhindered by any obstruction on the way, and arrived over Coventry with a strange scream, and bombs were thrown down from the air like hailstones and fell on the city of Coventry. After 10 hours of indiscriminate bombing, smoke swirled everywhere in Coventry, and fires raged in the sky. Fifty thousand homes were reduced to piles of rubble.

Fortunately, more than 100,000 citizens were evacuated in time, so they were spared. However, more than 600 people died in the flames and fire. These 600 people were those who refused to listen to the soldiers' advice and stayed behind with their luck, and more than 400 of them died in the ships.

Attempted impeachment

The destruction of the city of Coventry completely dispelled Hitler's doubts that the British were still blind, that they had not deciphered our magical infinite codes, and that the Enigma was still invincible.

Hitler was too happy, but he still fell for Churchill's wise plan. Before the smoke cleared over the city of Coventry, Churchill was already in the Prime Minister's conference room, planning a massive righteous counterattack with his own hands. To launch the righteous counter-attack, Churchill excitedly clapped his hands: "Since we have paid a huge price, we have to use our secret weapon master to hit the fascist bandits with a heavy blow. This is the Chinese saying, yea takes the way of the people and treats them back master."

And so the Alamein War, which rocked the world, was fought.

On October 23, 1942, the British Eighth Army under the command of Montgomery launched a sudden attack against the German and Italian allied forces "Afrika Korps" led by Rommel in the Alamein area of Egypt. The British army dealt a heavy blow to the German and Italian fascist armies, with more than 7,000 British soldiers killed and nearly 60,000 German and Italian casualties and prisoners, and 500 German tanks became the spoils of war for the British. This outstanding battle forced the German and Italian troops to retreat to the Tunisian border. The British ended in victory, turning the tide of the war in North Africa and becoming the beginning of the destruction of the fascist armies in North Africa.

The Alamein War was the turning point in the North African war, after which the German and Italian fascist armies began to lose ground in North Africa until they were completely expelled from Africa in May 1943.

Churchill and his commanders were well aware that on the first day of the war, this German invention "Enigma" played a major and crucial role, putting the German army in a situation where it was always passive. Every top secret telegram between German commander Rommel and Hitler was deciphered by the British in time, and even British commander Montgomery saw the secret messages before the Germans did.

The war, which involved the success or failure of the war in North Africa, was won, but the secret of victory was also made public. When it became clear that the secret of victory had been in Churchill's possession as early as the German bombing of Coventry, the vast majority of the people and even the senators were outraged, especially the families and friends of the more than 600 people who had died in the "nightingale's song," and unanimously petitioned the Senate to impeach Churchill for his gross negligence. Churchill, who had failed in his duties, was to be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Of course, the highest levels of the British government knew this secret, and naturally, the impeachment was not successful.

However, for the sake of national interest and future military needs, all British media and even military circles did not make Churchill's secret decision public but classified it as a national secret according to the National Intelligence Agency.

It was not until 60 years later that this British national secret was naturally declassified and made public with time.
