Winston Churchill

On May 13th, 194

Last Friday night, I was ordered by Your Majesty to form a new government.

According to the wishes of the Congress and the people, it is obvious that the new government should be based on the broadest possible basis and should be compatible with all political parties.

I have finished the most important part of this task. During the war, the cabinet was composed of five people, including the Labour Party, the opposition party and the Liberal Party, which reflected the unity of the whole country.

due to the extreme urgency and seriousness of the situation, the new cabinet government must be formed within one day, and other key positions were arranged yesterday. A list will be submitted to the king tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of several key ministers tomorrow.

as usual, the appointment of other ministers was delayed. I believe that the appointment will be completed and perfected by the next session of the National Assembly.

for the sake of public interest, I suggest that the speaker convene the parliament today. At the end of today's agenda, it is suggested to adjourn until May 21st, and prepare to hold a meeting in advance if necessary. Members will be informed of the matter as soon as possible.

Now I ask the Congress to make a resolution, approve the steps I have taken, put the enlightenment on record, and declare my trust in the new government. The resolution is as follows:

"Our country will welcome the formation of the new government, which embodies the unshakable determination of the whole country: to fight against Germany until the final victory."

organizing such a large and complex government was originally a major task. But we are in the initial stage of a great war that is rare in history. We are fighting in many other places-in Norway, in the Netherlands, and we must be prepared in the Mediterranean. Air combat is continuing, and many preparations must be made at home.

at this critical juncture, I think I can forgive you even if my report to the congress today is too brief. I also hope that all the friends, colleagues and old colleagues who have been affected by this reorganization will not mind any shortcomings in the necessary etiquette.

I made it clear to Congress that, as I made it clear to the ministers who entered the cabinet, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We will face an extremely severe test, a protracted struggle and suffering.

what is our policy? My answer is: fight on land, sea and air. Do our best, fight with all the strength given to us by God, and fight against the brutal tyranny unprecedented in the dark and sad history of human sin. This is our policy.

what is our goal? I can answer in one word, and that is victory. At all costs, to win-not afraid of all terror, to win-no matter how long and hard the road ahead is, to win. Because you can't survive without victory.

We must realize that without victory, there will be no British Empire, without victory, there will be no everything that the British Empire symbolizes, and without victory, there will be no strong demands and impulses for centuries: human beings should move towards their own goals.

I am full of energy and confidence to undertake my task. I am sure that if we unite, our cause will not be defeated.

at this critical moment, I feel I have the right to ask for support from all sides. I want to say, "Come on, let's work together and move forward side by side!"
