Chapter 2280: The British Transition

"It doesn’t matter who will rule Russia in the future, because no matter who it is, the hatred between them and Germany and Austria will be irresolvable. The achievements of the Russian Empire for hundreds of years have been reduced to ashes in this war. The Germans’ The sword is on the heads of the Russians. The Russians will not give in. The Germans will not be assured of Russia, which still has more than ten million square kilometers of territory. Therefore, this is an endless war until one side completely falls. !"

"The Normanov dynasty does have many problems, but Russia is still strong. They have abundant resources and a large population. All they need is an efficient government. No matter who ultimately wins, the winner is at least better than the other losers. Efficient. After the founding of the country, Russia urgently needs all kinds of support and assistance. We can exchange technology, machinery and other materials for Russian gold, silver and various precious metals. They will become the new dumping ground for the British Empire, but for this Everything, the Russians have no choice, because they must use all means to become stronger!" Prime Minister Asquith said.

　　 "However, the Germans are not fools. They will not sit back and watch us join forces with the Russians again," said King George V of England.

"Yes, they are not stupid. The Germans will definitely set up various obstacles, but it does not matter. We have a very important ally on the issue of supporting Russia, that is the United States! From the negotiations we can clearly feel that the Americans are Germany’s fear. Germans are unlikely to interfere in normal trade between us and Russia. Even if they interfere, we can circumvent them by investing abroad. As for military cooperation? That’s a hidden behavior, and I think, when After the Pacific War, even though the relationship between the United States and Britain is still hostile, the Americans will not sit back and watch Germany do anything to us wantonly." Asquith said.

　　 "These reasons are not sufficient." King George V of England said hesitated for a moment.

"Well, frankly speaking, because we are too close to Germany, in terms of military strength, without the French, after losing the large fleet, the Germans can easily knock us to the ground. But this is not a consideration. Under the ideal situation of Germany’s external pressure and Germany’s internal problems! Leaving aside the external reasons for the time being, I can be sure that Germany will not easily launch a large-scale war after the Pacific War is over!" Prime Minister Sri Lanka said confidently.

"The current German Empire is more like a federation, a federation composed of three powerful states and a bunch of small states. The central power has been greatly weakened. The existence of Bavaria, the parliament and the German emperor makes Germany's internal politics And the contradiction becomes very complicated, which increases the cost and delay in the formulation and implementation of German policies. In addition, Germany needs to do its best to digest the fruits of previous victories and solve complex national issues. Therefore, in this case, they I won’t use force for small things easily."

"We are actually in a race with the Germans. If the Germans complete the domestic integration first, then they will definitely attack Russia or our country again, and if we regain our strength first, we will win over a stronger Russia. , And can reach agreement with the future United States on certain issues, then we will definitely start a war of vengeance first! Therefore, in this race, whether it is us or the Germans, they will not be distracted by small things, moreover Will not deviate from the track."

　　 "Very good point of view, you convinced me, but because of our ally with the Japanese, this may become an obstacle between us and the Americans who cannot bypass the past in the future." George V said.

"The Anglo-Japanese alliance will not last long. Objectively speaking, our two countries are too far apart. We have our own spheres of influence and interests, and we have very little in common. If we can reach an agreement with the Americans, we can guarantee As far as our interests in the Far East are concerned, then the Anglo-Japanese alliance is completely unnecessary! And when our strength is restored, the Americans will not be able to treat us like today. The strong deserve respect!"

"As for the enmity between Britain and the United States? Time is left to solve this problem. Time will dilute everything, just like Britain and France, once mortal enemies, can join forces against Germany. As long as we give up Japan, there will be a relationship with the United States. There is no insurmountable obstacle! Fifteen years, at most twenty years, we can re-establish an alliance against Germany and Austria! This alliance is stronger than the Allied alliance!" Asquith said firmly.

　　 "Let's take this as a long-term goal." George V was skeptical of the blueprint described by Prime Minister Asquith for the simple reason that this plan was too long and too variable. Among other things, who can determine the outcome of the Pacific War now? Is the virtue just to fight for face, even if you fight a game~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or just go to Huanglong? Kill Japan completely? If Japan is killed, then the United States will be a magical attitude toward the two arms reselling Britain? This is unsure. As for the attitude of the United States towards Russia, it is also a mystery. Therefore, King George V only regarded Asquith's idea as a plan or comfort.

"Well, let the future problems be solved by future generations. Many of the things we are talking about today cannot actually be achieved in our hands. Let's talk about the immediate things. The Germans ask us to issue a declaration of defeat, and we have to go through With their permission, this is the most humiliating moment in the British Empire in hundreds of years! And the subsequent negotiations are more problematic. Do you have any ideas?" George V asked.

"With regard to the surrender statement, we have no choice. After all, we have lost. Whether we admit it or not, it is the case. Instead of this, it is better to end the war as soon as possible. As for the negotiation issue, if possible, I hope to negotiate formal Before, I could have a certain level of communication with the high level in Germany." Asquith thought for a while and said.

"Do you want to take advantage of their contradiction? This may not be realistic. The German negotiating work seems to be dominated by the Kaiser and Bavaria, and representatives of both parties will be present regardless of whether it is in public or in private. As a result, there were only two people who had a major impact. One was Crown Prince Ruprecht, and the other might be Grand Duke of Baden.” George V remembered the description of the German side by the Earl of Belfort in the telegram. The Germans' high degree of centralization on negotiation issues makes the British very difficult!
