Churchill's clamor, Prime Minister Asquis frowned in displeasure. Although the British and French coalition forces had already gained a foothold in northern France, they were still very far away from defeating the German army. In the past year alone, Britain has been
The army sent more than one million expeditionary forces to France, and the losses reached more than 400,000. Such huge losses were difficult for Britain to bear. In addition, on the battlefield on the Western Front of Europe, there are trenches everywhere, and these trenches are
, blocked the German attack, but at the same time, it also made the British and French coalition forces pay a heavy price to attack the German army. Therefore, Prime Minister Asquith did not believe in Winston at all.
Churchill said that he could drive the German army out of Germany and even attack Germany before the end of the year. In his opinion, Winston.
Churchill is useless except for being able to speak big!
"Everyone, I agree with the peace talks with Germany.
Or, let Germany go for the time being. China is our biggest enemy, and the entire Western world. We can completely wait until we solve China and ensure the interests of the British Empire on a global scale before we can trouble the Germans. After all,
If we want to defeat Germany, we still have to pay a great price. It is time to temporarily stop the war with Germany and be consistent with the outside world. After all, we don’t want the East to rise again! Historically, the East is the center of the world, until industry
The West became the center after the revolution. We cannot let the yellow race rule the entire earth!" said Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Minister.
Foreign Minister Edward.
Sir Grey's words made the cabinet members deeply agree that these guys are white supremacy racists. China has risen rapidly in less than twenty years, completely expelling British forces from the Far East, and now it has connected India and
These two most important colonies in Australia were preserved because China intends to release water, which made the British, who claim to be the leader of the Western world very dissatisfied. If Germany can stop, the United Allies and even the entire West
The best choice is undoubtedly to defeat China first.
"His Excellency, the Navy has eliminated the main force of the German High Seas Fleet, but the German Navy's submarine forces are still very active. Their submarines have been attacking our warships and merchant ships. Just last month, we lost three destroyers and one
Cruisers and more than 100,000 tons of merchant ships were sunk by German Navy submarines! We now lack powerful weapons to deal with German Navy submarines. Therefore, if Germany can be withdrawn from the war, it will be very good for the British Empire.
Advantageous!" John the Secretary of the Navy.
Sir Fisher said.
Originally, Army Secretary Winston.
Churchill had to refute it, but John.
Sir Fisher spoke, and he had to swallow the words back into his stomach. After all, in Britain, the navy's status has always been much higher than that in the army. Especially now the navy has achieved a major victory. John, the Minister of Navy.
Sir Fisher's reputation in Britain was further improved again, and his status in the cabinet was John.
Sir Fisher is better than Winston.
Churchill, the Army Secretary, is much higher.
"Everyone expressed their opinions, and I understand it. However, in my opinion, the US government's strategy of defeating China first is certainly considered from the US security first, but it is also understandable. After all, China is
The Army's performance on the Mexican battlefield is really amazing. The US Army has also paid a heavy price for this. At the same time, the main fleet of the Chinese Navy gathered in the Eastern Pacific also made the United States very worried. Similarly,
Defeating China is also of great benefit to us. At least India and Australia will be completely safe. In addition, the Persian Gulf can also return to the control of the British Empire. If China can be destroyed, support a relative in China
If the British government says that, the British Empire will gain the largest market in the world, and the British Empire will be revived! Therefore, for the future of the British Empire, it is acceptable to temporarily let Germany go and give priority to China to be resolved!"
Prime Minister Squius said that with most cabinet members agreeing, his words have already achieved a final result. And everyone understands that letting Germany go and defeating China first will lead to the United Kingdom
There are more benefits. You can wait until you defeat China and then start a war with Germany again. At that time, Britain will be more prepared and may be able to win the final victory at the lowest cost.
"It's useless to let Germany go, and the Germans have to make peace. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. In addition, if France agrees to this plan, Germany has to withdraw from France and
Only Belgium can do it!" Army Secretary Winston.
Churchill said. In fact, this is the most critical issue. German Emperor William II and German senior officials are not fools, and it is very difficult to make peace for them.
"Okay, let's end this meeting today! We will talk in detail after US Vice President Ronaldo Wilson arrives!" Asquis looked at Winston with a full look.
Churchill glanced at it and said.
US Vice President Woodrow.
The light cruiser Wilson arrived in London on the morning of June 8. In order to keep it a secret, the UK did not hold a welcome dinner, but only in Buckingham Palace, King George V of England had a dinner that few people attended. Except for the King's
In addition, only cabinet ministers participated.
The next day, US Vice President Woodrow.
Wilson held talks with British Cabinet Prime Minister Asquis. During the talks, Woodrow.
Vice President Wilson introduced the US plan, and what prospects the plan will have if it is successful, etc. British Prime Minister Asquis agreed with the plan and agreed to assist the United States in persuading France. After all, France is
Germany suffered heavy losses under the attack, and the hatred between France and Germany was also very difficult to resolve. When the US ambassador to France contacted the French government, he received a negative reply. The French Army attacked the German army.
In addition, the losses have exceeded one million people. In addition, the large area of French territory has fallen under the iron hooves of the German army. France always wants to defeat Germany to avenge revenge. Therefore, the French government strongly demands to defeat Germany first.
, and then deal with China.
Of course, the French government is also very interested in the French government's influential Indochina occupied by China and China's huge market and resources. However, in front of the angry people, France obviously cannot make peace with Germany. Otherwise, the angry people will be angry people.
I'm afraid the government will be overthrown immediately. French President Clement.
Armand.
Falier didn't dare to take this risk easily.
After convinced the UK, US Vice President Woodrow.
Wilson was very happy. In his opinion, this seemed to be half successful. On the afternoon of June 9, Woodrow.
Vice President Wilson took the US Navy light cruiser to France. He was accompanied by British Foreign Secretary Edward.
Sir Grey, who will serve on behalf of the British government to help the United States convince the French government.
The French government for Woodrow.
Vice President Wilson's visit was not very active. However, on the KO in June, the two sides held talks. During the talks, British Foreign Secretary Edward.
Sir Grey made a statement on behalf of the British government that Britain agreed with the proposal put forward by the US government, ended the European war first and defeated Britain.
The French government is very dissatisfied with this, and they believe that this is Britain's betrayal of France. In order to appease France, the United States and Britain both said that after defeating China, France can not only get back Indochina, but also give priority to choosing one in China's local area.
Colonial. This proposal immediately attracted the French government. After all, the war was on the French territory. Although it resisted the German attack, France suffered a great loss. This loss was not only for military strength, but also for
Have financial resources and powerlessness. Almost all northeastern France has been smashed into scorched earth. If you want to rebuild it, it will require a lot of funds, and the French government is simply unable to bear it. If you can defeat China and force it on China
If you take a bite, perhaps France's reconstruction funds will be settled.
French President Clement.
Armand.
Falier immediately convened an emergency meeting between the cabinet members. After an hour, President Falier made several requests on behalf of the French government. If the United Kingdom and the United States agree, the French government can agree and temporarily end the German government.
War. The French government's concession, let Woodrow.
Vice President Wilson and British Foreign Secretary Edward.
Sir Grey was very happy. However, when French President Variety made a few conditions, they hesitated a little.
France has three conditions, the first is that Germany must withdraw from France's territory immediately. Moreover, after defeating China, Britain and the United States must fully assist France in defeating Germany and completely eliminate the threat of Germany to France. Second, in
After defeating China, France has the right to claim a war reparation from China to make up for France's losses in the war. Moreover, France has to account for at least 40% of the total reparations paid by China. The third point,
During the war with China, Britain and the United States would provide France with weapons and equipment and various combat supplies.
Although the demands put forward by France are a bit unacceptable, Britain and the United States finally agreed to it in order to make France make concessions. Anyway, these are all paid by China, and they will not lose anything. In this way, Britain, France and the United States
There was a consensus on this issue, and Russia was chosen to be forgotten by them! However, they seemed to have forgotten that China is not so easy to defeat!
