Chapter 688 American Choice

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, the British Empire will not surrender to the Germans. We will continue to persevere. Even if the mainland is completely occupied by the Germans, we will not give up resistance." Sir Edward Gray said.

U.S. Secretary of State Brian frowned suddenly, and he recognized the hidden meaning of Sir Edward Gray. That is, even if the British mainland falls, they will not give up hope and will continue to fight.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Bryan asked.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, we plan to retreat to Canada once the British mainland falls, and then continue to resist the Germans!" Sir Edward Gray said directly.

"What? Your government is moving to Canada?" Brian exclaimed. Obviously, he never expected the British to have such great determination. In addition, this is not a good thing for the United States.

"Yes, Your Excellency. We will continue to resist," said Sir Edward Gray.

"However, in that case, the flames of war will be ignited in America." Brian's expression became a little serious.

"Once the Germans occupy the mainland of the British Empire, they may not have much strength to attack Canada. Therefore, we should be safe." Sir Edward Gray said.

"Once the Germans have finished digesting the occupied areas, they will definitely attack Canada. Of course, this time may be a few years, or it may be longer. But the Germans launched an attack on Canada, which is impossible. Stop it! At that time, the flames of war will burn on the American continent." Brian said.

"Your Excellency, we will fight the Germans with all our might."

"Huh! Can you resist the Germans? Canada only has a few million people, and at most an army of hundreds of thousands of people is armed. The Germans can easily crush you."

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, I think the United States will not sit idly by then, right? After all, once Germany captures Canada, their next target must be the United States. There will be no doubt about it!"

"Your Excellency, are you deliberately trying to draw the flames of war to the United States, and then take revenge with the help of the United States?" Brian's face became very ugly.

"Of course not. Your Excellency, Secretary of State, you should be very clear that after the Germans defeated us, no matter what, the United States will become the next target of the Germans. The United States is too large. Not only is it a large land area and a large population, The economy is also very developed. Coupled with the barriers of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the security of the United States can be guaranteed. Therefore, the United States already has the basic conditions to become a world hegemon. And the Germans defeated the British Empire to become the new world hegemony Will they be willing to see their hegemony threatened by the United States? Therefore, once the Germans recover, they will inevitably suppress the United States, even including military strikes. The British Empire has been the world hegemony for hundreds of years, We have always done that. It's just a pity that this time we couldn't deal with the Germans, but were about to be defeated by them." Sir Edward Gray said.

The expression on Bryan's face was constantly changing. The United States would be the next target of the Germans, of course he knew it very well. This is also the consensus of the US government. Therefore, the U.S. government will do its best to develop military power so that they can resist German attacks in future wars. Of course, it would be great if the Germans could be defeated and replace Germany as the new world hegemon.

However, it is undoubtedly very difficult to defeat Germany, which is in full swing. At least judging from the current strength of the United States, they have no chance. This is also what makes the US government feel uneasy.

"Secretary of State, if the British Empire can no longer defend its homeland, it will have to move to Canada. At that time, our two countries can cooperate with each other. We both have a common enemy, so our two countries should unite. Yes. The United States has strong industrial strength, but it is still relatively backward in terms of cutting-edge technology. The British Empire undoubtedly has a great advantage in this regard. We can complement each other's advantages. In this case, the strength of the United States will definitely increase You have stepped up to a higher level. You will have greater confidence in resisting the German attack, and even defeating them!" Sir Edward Gray continued.

"Your Excellency, I have to admit that your words are too tempting. I will report to the President. However, I cannot guarantee that the President will agree." Bryan said.

Hearing what Brian said, Sir Edward Gray finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the Americans would definitely agree.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, I believe that Your Excellency the President is a very wise person, and he must know what choice is most beneficial to the United States of America!" Sir Edward Gray said.

After the meeting, Bryan rushed to the White House immediately and reported the matter to President Woodrow Wilson.

After listening to Brian's report, President Woodrow Wilson frowned tightly.

"Are the British trying to pull us into the water? Since the outbreak of this war, they have been thinking about pulling us into their camp. However, the British are right. Although we avoided this War, but we have also become the next target of the Germans. Therefore, we know that the British have bad intentions. But our options are running out." President Woodrow Wilson said.

"Your Excellency, do you mean we are going to promise the British?" Bryan asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency Secretary of State. Regardless of whether the British government moves to Canada or not, we will become the next target of the Germans. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to strengthen our own as much as possible before the Germans launch an attack." Strength. Only in this way can we have enough strength to deal with the Germans. Although Britain has fallen, many technologies in their hands are what we need. This time, just take this opportunity to let the British transfer those technologies Give it to us!" said President Woodrow Wilson.

Secretary of State Brian nodded. He knew that President Woodrow Wilson's decision was right. Now that the next war cannot be avoided between the United States and Germany. Then, it is correct to do everything possible to make yourself stronger.
