Chapter 2273 Defeated Before Making a Move
Although the situation is very bad, you would be wrong to say that the Earl of Belfort has no means to fight back. The situation is already so severe, but the British still have to fight again! They also have their own cards!
"I think these conditions are tantamount to the collapse of the British Empire, and if the Empire is really unsustainable and doomed to collapse, then I would like to ask, why should we give the legacy of the Empire to our enemies? If you lose it, then it’s better to just destroy it!” Earl Belfort’s words revealed a hint of determination!
"Hehe, I never thought that the British Empire, which has stood at the pinnacle of the world for hundreds of years, would not even be able to pay the German Empire's war compensation." Prince Baden deliberately emphasized the words "British Empire".
"We have always believed that even if our conditions are harsher, Britain will not give up its past glory to be the younger brother of other countries. I don't know if my understanding is wrong or the person opposite me is too blind. Since Your Excellency You think paying the compensation to the German Empire is so difficult, so why don't we talk about what is left of your country after paying the compensation to the Empire?" Prince Baden said unhurriedly.
"We are still willing to guarantee Britain's colonies and interests in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. India, the brightest jewel in the British crown, still exists, and Australia and Canada, the two most important dominions, are still under the Union flag Under the circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the armies of these two dominions is very good. I don’t think it is worse than the elite British Empire’s local army. The resources in these two places are even richer. Britain still has vast colonies, markets and raw material production areas. If there is If you want to give up so many things, then I think the British sages will jump out of the coffin in anger and teach you unworthy descendants?" Prince Baden said with a smile.
"As for the power that Britain wants to rely on, this empire is also very clear. You are nothing more than trying to use the Americans to put pressure on us, but I don't know if the two of you have thought about a problem." Prince Baden paused and continued: " Is the American help free? Can the Americans really keep the empire from getting what it deserves? Why are they? Is it money or military? If money really works, then it doesn't There is a war, and if it is the latter, I know with my knees what will happen if there is a military conflict between Germany and the United States. What's more, now that Germany and the United States are still allies, I think the American people can't understand that Americans will fight for an enemy A move to go to war with an ally?"
"I need to remind Mr. Balfour and the British government behind you. When negotiating with Germany, you only need to meet the requirements of the German side. But if you recruit the Americans, you must also meet the requirements of both Germany and the United States. And if you look at the history of the United States and Britain, do you think the Americans will let the United Kingdom go lightly?" Prince Baden finally said.
"Here, I need to add one more point. At least for now, Britain and Japan are still allies. If one day your country chooses to cooperate with the Americans, have you ever thought about the result of the British colonies that are close to Japan? Maybe Japan will lose in the end, but before it fails, Malaya, Sarawak, Burma and even Australia will be affected by the war. The empire has only economic interests in the far east, and Britain is not the same. You and the British government behind you Have you figured out how to deal with this matter?" Earl Sherin said.
The German high-level officials naturally knew that the British wanted to improve relations with the United States at this time and then let the latter make a move, so they would naturally make targeted arrangements. What did the Prince of Baden mean when he started talking about the colonies and dominions that Britain could keep? Nothing more than to tell the British,
You still have a lot of ground. It is far from the so-called end of the mountain, thus vetoing Belfort's so-called statement that the United Kingdom cannot afford to jump over the wall in a hurry.
And then, Prince Baden pointedly pointed out that it is unrealistic for the British to expect the United States to provide help! The reason is simple, there is no free help between countries in this world! Especially the one who helped you was a former hostile country! Well then, will the Americans help the UK? From the perspective of restricting Germany, it should be possible, but now the question is, can the British afford the price of Americans helping Britain?
Among other things, the thing that Britain and Japan joined forces to beat up the U.S. Navy and Army in the Philippines has not yet passed! In the following ten years, the exclusion of the United States by Britain and Japan in the Far East could not be skipped! The previous conflicts between the two countries required real benefits to smooth out, so well, British, are you ready to pay a huge price in exchange for US support?
Next, Prince Baden shot again, even if Britain is willing to pay the price, even if the Americans are willing to help, can the Americans really make Germany give up a lot of benefits? How can it be? The ultimate solution to problems in this era is war! And if the problem can't be solved by war, it really can't be solved. Not to mention that Germany and the United States are still considered allies at present, even if it is time to tear their faces apart, will the United States really go to a head-on conflict with Germany for the sake of the United Kingdom? What are you thinking? ! If the Americans had the confidence and strength, they would have attacked Japan long ago. Why would they wait until the end of World War I to join forces with Germany before attacking Japan?
However, the Germans still feel that they are not putting enough pressure on the British! There is another country in this world called Japan! And Japan in this plane is a bit strong. The Philippines, most of Kalimantan, and most of Guinea are controlled by Japan, intertwined with the British colonies in Southeast Asia. It is conceivable that if the United Kingdom chooses to seek help from the United States, the Americans will definitely ask the United Kingdom to stand by them in the future Pacific War. Germany has no colonies in the Far East. Naturally, it is not afraid of Japanese retaliation, but the United Kingdom has such a large area in Southeast Asia. The colonies of Japan, and even India, which is vital to the life and death of the British Empire, is not far from Japan...
Leaving aside the outcome of the war, does Japan's victory or defeat mean much to Britain? Not a big deal at all, and Japan was sure to mess up the British colonies before the war was over anyway. The final result is that Britain after the war will not only be unable to benefit from the colonies, but will be dragged down by the colonies... This matter is troublesome!
