Something Baron Steakpuncher said is that Thatcher has the greatest presence among british leaders, and that she can make the UK have the same status as OTL instead of something akin to Belgium.
So I wonder how she would react to the attachè telling her that...
If England manages to hold off the Germany invasion for long enough until Goering's Ponzi scheme economy collapses, every leader will get their own unique quote in their victory event:
Collabs:
Thatcher: Protected by a woman with the heart and stomach of a king.
Macmillan: Macmillan promised "never again," and his word was good.
Maudling: Maudling had proven himself in the toughest task.
HMMLR:
Jellicoe: Once again, a Jellicoe stood in the gap and saved England.
Wilson: And Wilson had kept the flag flying throughout it all.
Also of note is that the victory event for HMMLR is a lot more somber, lamenting the tremendous cost that England paid in beating back the Germans, but celebrating the fact that in the end, it was England that stopped Goring's plans for world domination when the rest of the world were either unable to do so, or have written England off as doomed.... For the Collabs, however, the victory event was much more triumphant, declaring that England had purchased the right to be a nation worthy of a great power's respect once again.
So, in the case of Thatcher, if England was able to beat back Sealion II under her watch, the fact that OFN refused to aid England directly would only add to her well of political capital, in saying that it was only under her leadership as the 'Iron Lady' that England was able to beat back the Germans, without needing the help from those damn Yanks!
