The British once again experienced the feeling of being alone in the European continent. This is different from their previous glorious isolation. This time, they were jointly targeted by everyone.
From the standpoint of the Germans, their approach is completely correct. Since they cannot win, of course, they must stop loss in time.
大陆 The European continent has never died. The Germans acknowledged in advance that the price paid was much smaller than in the same period in history.
There has not been much change in the military, and they have been restricted, even more severely, but in terms of national sovereignty, they have not been separated.
怎么 样 What about the restoration of the monarchy? This is a tradition in the German region, and there has never been a lack of supporters.
The new compensation plan can be more rational than the previous one, not less than 30% of fiscal revenue, and not less than 30% of the German government's annual currency issuance.
Everyone has learned to be smart. This time, everyone only received cash, and the compensation paid was settled by Lev and gold. No one chose direct German industrial products as war compensation.
The specific amount of compensation is still being calculated. The bottom line of payment has been determined, and the Germans' payment limit has not been exceeded.
In this respect, even if this battle is lost, the Germans have not lost much. As losers, they have won everyone's respect with their strength and won more relaxed conditions than the Versailles system.
I paid millions of lives and got such a treatment, whether I lost it or made a profit. I am afraid that this issue is only clear to them.
郊 Outside London
的 The temporary headquarters set up in the air-raid shelter has now gathered a large number of politicians, even the former Prime Minister Stanley Win Baldwin, who has retired from politics.
Now that the war has hit, the main faction within the British government has weakened, and the momentum of the main faction has once again risen.
It's just that trying to get peace is not so simple, as a competitor Bulgaria won't let them go so easily.
She Churchill said palely, "Gentlemen, let everyone take risks today. I will not repeat what they are for. Let me talk about the basic situation of Great Britain!"
上 "On the Army: In order to prevent the enemy from landing on the British Isles, we have mobilized 3.46 million Army forces at home, which is basically enough. If the war requires us, we can mobilize another one million.
Indian Dominion, this is the area where we have the most military pressure now, and at the same time it is threatened by Bulgaria, East Russia, and Japan.
The puppet government also attaches great importance to it. We have formed 327 colonial divisions with a total strength of 4.52 million. At present, we are still expanding at the rate of one division every week.
Australian Dominion, we also mobilized 600,000 troops. Due to the Japanese invasion, they can only cooperate with New Zealand to defend and cannot support other battlefields.
New Zealand also mobilized ten infantry divisions, plus the navy and air force, with a total strength of about 180,000.
The Canadian Autonomous Territory has mobilized nearly one million troops, including about 760,000 of 62 infantry divisions. There are now 1,300 Canadian pilots defending the British Isles.
三 The three North American countries are the regions of the British Commonwealth with the strongest comprehensive strength besides the mainland. The main responsibility in this war is to provide us with strategic materials.
The three countries have now mobilized 120 infantry divisions, and the total strength of the Navy and Air Force has exceeded 2.3 million.
In theory, the three North American countries can continue to expand their military forces, but the local council has rejected the proposal to expand the military.
They think that the current expansion has caused anxiety among neighbors. North American countries have followed suit. A bad one can easily lead to war on the North American continent.
Uh ... "
But Churchill only spoke of major areas, and more fragmented colonies were ignored. South Africa and Egypt, which have been lost, let alone let alone any value.
"Sir Prime Minister, do you mean to say that we still have enough military strength, but we cannot integrate these strengths, right?" Stanley Win Baldwin asked.
Churchill said confidently, "Yes, Mr. Stanley Win! There are more than 600 million people under the rule of Great Britain, which is more than the entire Holy Alliance combined.
If we can explode this part of power, let alone defeat the Divine Alliance, but it is not a problem to decently end this war!
In addition, we have more than seventeen allies in the world. Their individual strength is not good. If they are integrated, their strength is still above the French. "
Everyone's face changed slightly. Obviously, his explanation was too far-fetched, and the war was not more than people. No matter how he bragged, he could not change the pan-international front's disadvantage on the battlefield.
大陆 Once the European continent is integrated, let alone a British Commonwealth, even if all the countries in the world add up, they cannot be rivals.
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the strength of the European continent is much stronger than in the same period in history, or the United States is dead, and the industrial proportion of European countries has automatically increased.
As for the power of the allies, that is a joke. These countries have no problem waving flags, and they are still reluctant to engage in logistics. Let them help to fight, or stop dreaming.
No one is a fool, knowing that it is the fire pit that has to jump into it, and there is no reversal, that is because the Royal Navy is still there, and they dare not jump out.
Chamberlain said politely: "Mr. Churchill, what you said doesn't make any sense. The reality has told us that no matter how strong we are overseas, we cannot change our disadvantage on the battlefield.
The power of Canada and North America can only be deployed to Australia and let them fight the Japanese.
On the European battlefield, even if they are willing to come, we have no way to guarantee their logistical supply. Now that the enemy's landing war has not begun, our local material supply has encountered a dilemma.
You must be very clear about these problems. From the industrial era to the present, the haze in London has dissipated for the first time, and the people cannot even supply coal for heating! "
This is also Feng Shui's turn. In history, Chamberlain was on the stage and was caught by Churchill and criticized. Now he is transposed in a major and minor way, and it is his turn to be approved.
This is also the normal state of British politics. Opposition parties have criticized the ruling party. It is necessary. After entering modern times, no government can be an exception.
"Yes, the enemy blocked the British Isles with aircraft and submarines. We must transport the goods by sea, which is a shame for every Englishman.
But can this compromise us?
No, the great Great Britain will not compromise!
不足 Insufficient supplies of supplies, the government is already thinking of ways. From the outbreak of the war to the present, we have opened more than one million acres of land ourselves, and this number is still increasing.
There is not enough meat supply, the heroic British people venture to fish in the sea, and use fish instead of beef and lamb.
There is not enough coal for heating, our people acted on their own initiative, and dozens or dozens of people gathered to make a fire to save energy to the maximum.
Nothing can scare us. Great Britain will not be defeated by any enemy! "
No doubt, Mr. Churchill has entered the state of speech, but there is no good audience in the room. No matter how passionate he is, everyone is indifferent.
No matter how many reasons, the fact of failure cannot be concealed. The British Isles are too small to be self-sufficient. After being blocked by the enemy, it is inevitable that they will be in trouble.
"Mr. Churchill, it's not the time to speak, we need a solution!" Competitor Chamberlain said grimly
"I can blame and resign!" Churchill said unhurriedly
The current British Empire is a mess, he is not afraid of anyone's threat. Just saying "you can do it, you go" is enough to discourage anyone.
Everyone is not a fool. Everyone knows how bad the situation is now. No one can save the decline of the British Empire.
There was no way. Before the war broke out, they miscalculated the strength of the British Empire. Ignoring the strength on paper is never reliable.
比如 For example, at present, in theory, the British still have the power to fight a war, and the comprehensive national strength is not yet under Bulgaria, but when it comes to a fight on the battlefield, this is not the case at all.
The North American army could not be put on the European battlefield at all. The risk of maritime transportation was too great. If the enemy discovered it, the ship would be destroyed.
Not to mention the transportation of the army, even the daily supplies of supplies have become inadequate, and even the basic needs of the local people have problems.
If there are enough strategic supplies and a huge number of reinforcements, the Germans still don't mind fighting for one. Originally, they were taking a military adventure, how could they stop so easily?
"Mr. Churchill, please pay attention to your identity. As the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth, you are not a child. It is better not to say such a wayward word!" Edward VIII snapped.
This is the job of his king, reconciling relations between parties after the outbreak of the political crisis, and preventing the crisis from expanding.
Edward VIII is more fortunate than in history and is still sitting firmly on the throne. He is a pro-German, but Yingde and German stood together more than a decade ago. Of course the king will not be excluded.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I lost my state just now!" Churchill went down the donkey.
It is impossible to resign. Now if he resigns, he definitely does not want to see the sun of tomorrow. At this time, those who want his life can line up from London to Paris.
"Well, go on!" Edward VIII said calmly.
If you lose, you lose. Anyway, it is already a boat, and you don't need him to take responsibility for it. Even if the cabinet wants to shake the pot, he can't shake his head. The British royal family at this time is not a soft persimmon.
Even if the war criminals are prosecuted after the war, there will never be a royal relationship. Even if the Bulgarian royal family is for the honor of the family, they must guarantee their status.
At most, abduction is to abdicate, giving an explanation to the people in the country. Edward VIII did not pay much attention to this throne, and in history he took the initiative to abdicate.
She Churchill thought for a while and said, "How bad the situation is now, everyone knows that now we have three paths, and the cabinet decided to do it at the same time:
(1) Contact the Bulgarians and try to solve the problem by political means;
准备 Prepare for the homeland defense war, let the enemy see our determination to resist, and strive for a decent end to the war;
If both plans fail, the government will relocate to North America and rely on the oceans to defend against enemy attacks! "
军事 From a military point of view, the third plan is the most reliable. Once the British retreat to North America, the entire chess game will be alive. Not only can they block the enemy ’s offense, they also have more room for development.
The best military option is the worst political option. Even the domestic opposition is not a problem, and we need to see if North America welcomes them.
It would be embarrassing if nobody welcomes you.
前 Before the outbreak of the World War, they wanted to lurk in North America, and they would welcome them wherever they went.
It's different now ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If they moved the capital at the beginning, it would bring huge benefits in the past, and now the British move the capital, it will bring war.
"Let's choose between the first two ways. The government can pat the buttocks and leave, but more than 40 million British people have no way to follow.
Without these people, there will be no Great Britain! "Stanley Win Baldwin said grimly.
His words represent the aspirations of most people. When they left the British Isles, they were the dogs of the bereaved family, and the family business they had accumulated was ruined.
"The British Isles are our home, and we will not give up here until the last minute!" Churchill quickly promised
The time when I gave up the British Isles was the end of his life. A prime minister who has lost his homeland should not want to have a good life. The angry people definitely want to tear him.
Of course, the status of the Prime Minister is too high, and the people can't reach him, but the British consortium will never mind sending him a peanut meter to get out of the air, or the whole family will have to take a dirt plane.
Edward VIII is also very complex now. He can tolerate defeat, but he cannot tolerate giving up the British Isles to North America.
For him, even surrendering directly to the Holy Alliance is better than running to North America.
Uh ...
