What characteristics do great leaders need? Churchill was a truly great leader, a man of intellect, courage, and speech. In the darkest moment of Britain, facing the huge pressure of the imminent annihilation of the entire army, it is admirable that he did not stubbornly insist on his own decision, nor did he blindly follow the masses. There are also examples in China of negotiating to survive and resisting being destroyed. Although Churchill is not Chinese, he must be well aware of this. It is said that Churchill is not stubborn because he did seriously consider the possibility of negotiation when the situation of the civil marine organization was unclear, but in the face of Hitler, the United Kingdom really had no bargaining chip at its disposal, and the negotiation was surrender. It is said that he is not blindly listening to the people because when he first decided not to negotiate, he did not make a decision when there was no way at all. He came up with the strategy of delaying the encirclement of the German army and organizing the withdrawal of civilian ships, so he decided not to negotiate. He had a certain amount of confidence, unlike those foolish people who only had national enthusiasm, but hearing the voices of the people later only strengthened his confidence. After gaining the support of the people, he won the support of the foreign cabinet and the cabinet step by step through two brilliant speeches. Finally, let’s talk about a factor that some people may disagree with. There are many strange and accidental factors in the historical event of the Dunkirk retreat. I won’t discuss its true or false here, but Churchill’s decision to go with it The firm belief of him and the British people cannot be ignored. Although it is not fully presented in the movie, it is still a very important factor. All of these finally made this great decision and made a great leader!
