The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters German requirements
"What? The Chinese are preparing to attack us? Prime Minister Holweg, are you sure this news is true? I'm sorry, I didn't question your meaning, but this news is too important for us.
I need to be sure!" Prime Minister Asquith was shocked. Other members of the British cabinet also had a trace of panic on their faces. Now
The only Allied Powers left were the United Kingdom, which put great pressure on them, and China has shown extremely strong strength in this war. Whether it is the army or the navy, the United Kingdom does not have any advantage. Therefore,
, if China wants to attack the British mainland, it may be difficult for the UK to defend it. And if it cannot defend it, what happens to the United States will be their fate!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, I can understand. I can tell you with confidence that the news that the Chinese are going to attack Britain is absolutely certain. The Chinese Second Army has already set off from southern Spain! If it weren't for the Vatican
If what happened had restrained the energy of the Chinese, they might have launched an attack on Britain long ago! It is expected that the fleet carrying the Chinese Army's 2nd Army will enter the English Channel in four to five days!" Holweg
the Prime Minister said.
"Oh God! Can the Chinese still be tempted to attack us? What should we do?" British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray said with some worry.
"Sir Fisher, can the Royal Navy stop the Chinese attack?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Royal Navy still has 19 'dreadnought' battleships, and the Chinese have a full forty battleships in the eastern waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and there are 4 aircraft carriers! If there is a battle between the Royal Navy and the Chinese Navy
If so, we have absolutely no chance of winning!" Sir John Fisher replied with a frustrated look. The current Chinese navy is already an existence that the British Royal Navy can look up to!
"Your Excellency Churchill, how is the Army's defense completed? If the Chinese launch an attack on the British mainland, can we hold it?" Prime Minister Asquith asked. Since the Navy has no other options, the Army has become the last resort.
The solution!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the army is mobilizing. Now we have armed more than two million troops. However, these troops are only enough for us to build a defense line in southern England. If the Chinese land elsewhere, we may not be able to stop them! After all, these troops are only enough for us to build a defense line in southern England.
, leaving us too little time!” Winston Churchill
Said. In fact, he was not telling the truth. With the powerful strike capabilities of the Chinese Navy, dozens of capital ships and four aircraft carriers, even if the British Army can build an impregnable defense line in coastal areas, it will not be able to defeat the Chinese Navy's large-caliber ships.
In front of the cannon and heavy aerial bombs, it is also like being made of paper.
This answer disappointed Prime Minister Asquith. If the British army cannot guarantee the security of the country, then everything is in vain!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, please don't be discouraged. The Chinese military strength is now the best in the world. No country has the strength to defeat China alone! Even Germany! Although Germany is still an ally with China
relations, but China’s threat to the entire Western world makes us vigilant! This time I came to the UK to save the UK and allow the UK to end this war at the minimum cost!" Prime Minister Holweg said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Hollweg, do you have any good suggestions?" Prime Minister Asquith asked. Since the UK no longer has the strength to protect the UK, it has no choice but to ask for help from foreign countries. Although the two countries were still hostile before
The two countries are still at war even now. But this does not prevent the two countries from coming together because of their common interests.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, in Germany's view, there is no need for Britain to continue the war. Britain has no hope of winning the war. Now the British government's duty is to find ways to reduce Britain's losses.
To the lowest! Therefore, I think Britain should admit defeat now and end the war!" Prime Minister Hollweg said.
Prime Minister Asquith was hesitant, Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray nodded in agreement, Sir John Fisher was expressionless, and Winston Churchill had a flash of anger on his face!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Hollweg, do you mean that Britain should surrender to Germany? But what good will this do to us?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, there are many benefits. First, if Britain surrenders to Germany, Britain will not be in danger of national subjugation. Germany can guarantee to Britain that once Britain surrenders to Germany, Germany will do its best to protect British territory.
and the integrity of sovereignty. Second, we have a common enemy. The Chinese and the Eastern world they represent pose a great threat to the entire Western world. If the Western world does not want to be enslaved by the Eastern world, then we can only unite
rise up and jointly deal with the Chinese threat. At this point, our interests
They are unanimous! Third, Germany can promise Britain that as long as we can defeat China in the future, Britain will still be one of the major powers in the world!" Prime Minister Holweg said. These are the conditions offered by Germany. Of course, these conditions
More is at least a promise, and Germany's actual demands have not yet been made. Only after the British side agrees can he take advantage of the situation to put forward Germany's specific demands. Prime Minister Holweg believes that the British side will definitely agree. After all,
, if Britain is occupied by China, then Britain will never have a chance again!
Prime Minister Asquith thought for a few minutes and then said: "Well, Prime Minister Holweg, what do we have to pay?"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, you must know that the Chinese are going to attack the UK in a few days. There is only one way to stop the Chinese attack, and that is for Germany to send troops to land in the UK. Only in this way can we stop the attack.
The Chinese occupy Britain. In addition, the British Navy had better surrender to the German Navy. Otherwise, the British Navy will have only two final outcomes, either being captured by the Chinese or sunk by the Chinese! Apart from this, there is no other outcome.
!" Prime Minister Holweg said.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Hollweg, do you mean that Germany is going to occupy Britain? In that case, what is the difference between us and the country's subjugation?" Winston Churchill asked angrily!
"Your Excellency, Minister of War, Germany's occupation of Britain is not to destroy Britain, but to prevent the Chinese from destroying Britain. You should know what kind of damage it will cause to Britain if the Chinese land in Britain, right?
When Britain wants to become an independent country, it is simply a delusion!" Prime Minister Hollweg retorted!
"The British Army will stop the Chinese. It is impossible for them to land in the UK!" Winston Churchill said through gritted teeth!
"Haha!" Prime Minister Holweg smiled and didn't say much else, but everyone could see the sarcasm!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, distinguished ministers! Germany has no intentions towards Britain. On the contrary, Germany still believes that Britain is Germany's potential ally. If Britain agrees with Germany's proposal, this will be very important for both of us.
Advantageous. Of course, I don’t deny that Germany also has selfish motives. After all, the Chinese are too powerful. With Germany’s current strength, it is difficult to compete with the Chinese. In order to fight against China, we
We can only look for more allies. For example, in terms of navy, Germany urgently needs British naval talents and shipbuilding talents. This will enhance the strength of the German navy and allow us to have the strength to fight against the Chinese in a short period of time. And this
It is also good for the UK. Once the Chinese attack the UK, the UK will have to pay greater losses! Even at the cost of destroying the country!" Prime Minister Hollweger warned!
Prime Minister Asquith and other important ministers of the British cabinet were silent. Although the demands made by Germany were somewhat difficult to accept, they knew that this was the best result for Britain. As a result of the defeat of this world war
The United Kingdom will probably pay a heavy price. And the most serious consequence will be to turn to the United States.
Like other countries, it was divided up by China and other victorious countries. If Britain agreed to Germany's conditions, then although Britain would suffer heavy losses this time, as long as the Germans abide by their commitments, Britain would also have the opportunity to rise in the future. Of course, Britain would then have a chance to rise.
We will no longer be the hegemon of the world, but at least it will be much better than the subjugation of the country!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Hollweg, this matter is so important that I can't reply to you now! I need to consult other cabinet members and the royal family's decision!" Prime Minister Asquith said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister Asquith, I can understand! However, I need to remind you that time is very tight now. If the German army cannot occupy the UK before the Chinese land, then we will not be able to prevent the Chinese from landing in the UK. By then,
It will be very difficult for us to protect British interests! If possible, it is best to give me an answer before noon tomorrow," said Prime Minister Holweg!
"Okay, Prime Minister Hollweg! Come, please go and have a rest, Prime Minister Hollweg!" Prime Minister Asquith said. Prime Minister Hollweg did not scare them. Once the Chinese landed in the UK
If so, the UK will have to be prepared to pay a huge price
! In Prime Minister Asquith’s own opinion, although the Germans’ demands are a bit excessive, they are already the best result for Britain! However, this is not a decision he can make on his own! (To be completed
