Chapter 2086: All thoughts are ashamed

This is not the first time the crown prince has used such a clever strategy. Thinking about the current situation of the Allied Powers, half of the reason is due to the naval battle that took place in the Philippines ten years ago! To be honest, the British really regret it now. Even if they abandon Japan and let the Russians kill Japan, the situation in Britain will never be as bad as it is now! At that time, the United Kingdom really did not intend to offend the United States subjectively!

　　 But there is no intention to offend subjectively, but it does not mean that objectively it will not be offended... What happened back then seemed to be accidental. The U.S. and Japan took a fancy to the colony of the Philippines almost at the same time. By coincidence, the two countries took action at the same time! Prime Minister Asquith believed that with the strength and mentality of the Japanese at the time, even though the Japanese fleet had an advantage at that time, they would not take the initiative to offend such a big country. What would happen? The world was unpredictable, and the two sides fought out seemingly inexplicable! To outsiders, this TM is too inch, right?

　　 But in the eyes of Prime Minister Asquith, there must be a driving force behind all these things! Some people have insight into the thinking of the United States and Japan, and can even predict the strategies and plans of the two sides. There may indeed be luck in the Philippine naval battle, but there must be instructions in general!

　　 Different from the confusing battle of the Philippines, this time the German plan is very obvious. Prime Minister Asquis had to admire Crown Prince Ruprecht's vision and skill. Before the war was over, the three carriages of the Entente were completely dismantled! However, now is not the time to care about these things. The French abandoning Britain has become a foregone conclusion. Even the two sides have almost no possibility of reconciliation in the future, betrayed by their allies, and cost millions of British troops. This enmity and resentment is much more than the enmity between China, the United States and Japan in the Philippine naval battle of the year! Look at the current relationship between the United States and Japan, and then look at Britain and France... Ha ha.

"We will consider the matter of peace talks, but I am afraid that there will be no results in a short time. The Germans cannot completely kill us this time, and the Americans will not allow it, but I feel that the Germans still intend to take our expeditionary force Eat it." Asquith said carefully.

　　What does this passage mean? The underlying meaning is that even if the Germans want peace talks, it is estimated that the peace talks will only be after the elimination of the British expeditionary force! Destroying the British Expeditionary Force is not a bargaining chip to the Germans, but an opportunity to consume British national power!

　　 And this kind of national power consumption is even more terrible than simple capital and colony consumption! Because it consumes people! A person who needs to grow up for 18 years and consumes a lot of social resources in growth! What is the most important thing in the 21st century is talent, in fact, it is the same in the 20th century! The casualties of millions of people are enough to hurt the vitality of a country of the size of the United Kingdom, because you have lost young and middle-aged people, a large number of technicians, and the most dedicated group of people in this country!

　　The Germans are not destroying the present Britain, but to destroy the future of Britain! And Asquith believes that Americans must also be happy to see this scene! Therefore, if you want to save the British Expeditionary Force through negotiation, you should go to sleep. The Germans are here to kill this time! Of course you have to say is there a way to save it without negotiating? Naturally there is, then surrender.

But use your brain. As a world’s pinnacle empire, it is already quite embarrassing for your army to surrender tens of thousands of people. (Pay attention to the difference between surrendering and being captured. The former is active and the latter is passive.) Thousands of people have been captured, enough to make the British Empire face disgraced, what if you surrender millions of army? Please, I guess the coffin plates of the Duke of Wellington and the Iron Duke will not be able to hold down! I am afraid that Lord Nelson of the Navy will jump out of the coffin and say: What a shame, get out of the group!

　　 "The only way we can now is to withdraw?" Marshal Haig asked.

　　 "Yes, it is to withdraw troops. Tell me your needs. The Empire will try to help you withdraw from France." Prime Minister Asquith said.

　　 "Okay, I will report related matters soon" Marshal Haig smiled bitterly in his heart. Although I said so, but to be honest, from a professional point of view, Marshal Haig knows that I am afraid that many people will not leave! It is conservatively estimated that 60% of the people will stay on the land of France in the end!

　　 However, the following facts prove that Marshal Haig’s ideas are still too optimistic, even naive. Since the English Channel can serve as the last barrier for the British, it will sometimes become the British lookout! Can see the opposite hometown, but you just can't go back! Of course, this is something later, let alone mention it!

In just a few words, the core mission of the British in the final period of the Western Front has been finalized, that is, running. However, it is easy to say that it is difficult to do. In the evening, the commander of the large fleet, Admiral Jericho, rushed. Back to London, to participate in the withdrawal of troops, and the British government also rarely issued an order to the whole country, requesting all idle ships across the country, even sampan kayaks! The reason is very simple~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you want to withdraw troops, how many people can you withdraw only by Dunkirk Port? When necessary, let the soldiers walk directly to the beach and use small boats to pick them up and transport them to the ships that cannot be docked! Sometimes the transport boat on the battleship does this!

"Commander Jericho, the empire will never allow millions of troops to be annihilated. The British Expeditionary Force is an indispensable part of the empire, just like the navy. Therefore, we must do our best." Asquith received it with exhaustion. With Jericho, Asquith said as soon as the two sides met.

"The navy will send warships into the Strait of Dover, but at present, we can only send destroyers and light cruisers. Battleships do not play a big role in the strait. Instead, they are the most easily attacked targets. During the day it is the Luftwaffe. In the world, we can only act at night, and before the fleet officially enters, we still have a lot of things to do. The minefields and anti-submarine nets we had previously deployed in the Strait of Dover need to be demolished," Jericho said.

　　 "Then, if the anti-submarine nets and minefields are removed, what about the influx of German submarines and destroyers into the strait?" Asquith said with a frown.

"This is another problem. Although the anti-submarine nets and minefields we set have not destroyed many German submarines, they have effectively contained their frequency of activities. Now, we have to destroy this system by ourselves. The German Navy will definitely come in. Believe me, Prime Minister, the Strait of Dover will definitely be a **** storm for some time to come!" Jericho said.
