Chapter 2300: Helplessness and Reality II

"When Lloyd George returned from the United States, in the next period of time, it was decided that we would be hostile to the United States, because we rejected the Americans' demands. When we were weakest, we were all against the United States. If people say no, then it is tantamount to dispelling the last glimmer of American illusions about the British Empire, at least in the next few years. We and the Americans have returned to the pre-war hostile state. This state will not be due to virtues. Some of the minor problems of the company have fundamentally changed!" Asquith said.

　　 "Orders of hundreds of millions of pounds? Are you kidding me?" Count Balfour said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"This is really no joke. Just before coming to Germany, the Japanese government submitted a 200 million pounds order contract to the Empire. The products include a large number of materials including machinery, various minerals, rubber, crops, and weapons. Japan. People’s payment terms are very good. From a purely economic point of view, I cannot refuse at all. And our trade with Japan has already begun, not only normal trade but also military trade!” Prime Minister Asquith’s words made Earl Balfour Surprised.

"It's impossible! The British Empire's military power is basically concentrated in Europe, and more than 70% of it has been destroyed! How can we sell excess military assets to the Japanese? We are still under blockade, so we choose It's impossible to send things out!" Count Balfour said in surprise.

"Hehe, although the British Empire has been hit harder than ever before, even if it is the remaining bits and pieces, the total amount is still considerable! And these things are outside the control of the Germans! For example, our base in Singapore, there are several Hundreds of various artillery, hundreds of mines and torpedoes, as well as various communication facilities, aviation equipment and army equipment! And our aircraft engine production plant in Canada is actually supplying aircraft engines to the Japanese. This may also be one of the important reasons why the Americans demanded that Canada be separated from the empire. As for all kinds of minerals and agricultural products, let alone say." Lloyd George said.

　　As the supreme commander of British munitions production during the war, Lloyd George knew all about the military production of the British Empire. In fact, because of the intensified blockade of the British mainland by German submarines, Lloyd George has dispersed British military production more than a year ago. For example, Canada with a relatively good industrial base will be used to produce aero engines. The produced aero engine can be transported to the UK by a high-speed cruise ship at high speed throughout the entire journey. In this process, the probability of being ambushed by a submarine is very small, and it can make full use of Canadian resources and manpower. But now that the United Kingdom is defeated and the aircraft can no longer be used, the spare aero engine production capacity can naturally be used in other areas... For example, export to Japan!

　　 To be honest, the British are really short of money and crazy now, even if the Germans don’t open the mouth, then the British must find ways to do business with the Japanese! And the current situation is basically that as long as the Japanese want to buy and the price is reasonable, then the British will sell it! The British understand this, the Germans understand, and the Americans understand it! Even Asquith wondered whether the aero engines and precision instruments produced in Canada were exported to Japan, which caused the Americans to want Canada to be separated from the UK...

　　 There are many things, and you will continue to do it if you know it will lead to bad consequences. Being willing is simple, because if you don’t do it, it will lead to more serious consequences! What will happen if the British really sever all economic and trade ties with the Japanese? Britain loses a lot of orders and even financial bankruptcy is light! The collapse of the British colonial system in the Far East is very likely!

　　 This is definitely not alarmist! Allies are birds of the same fate, and the catastrophe is coming! To some extent, even if allies use each other, they even cheat each other! Belfort thought very well. For his own benefit and to reconcile with the United States, the United Kingdom could throw the Japanese aside! And sorry, Japanese are not good men! If you can do the first year of junior high school, people can do the fifteenth!

　　 For Japan, the basis for maintaining the Anglo-Japanese alliance is that Britain can help Japan against the United States! Well, if the British cannot help Japan against the United States, what will Japan do in the face of an unprecedentedly weak Britain? When it is about to wage a war with the United States that is related to the fortune of the country, Japan will definitely fight against the British colonization! Nothing else, at least you can grab a wave first! And why does Britain stop the Japanese at this time?

　　 And once the Japanese really do, India and Southeast Asia, which have long been dissatisfied with British rule, will surely produce a series of chain reactions! What will this cause? For Britain, which has been unable to suppress it, will naturally lead to the collapse of the colonial system. If the British lose Southeast and South Asia after losing Africa, then the British Empire will really return to hundreds of years ago~www.wuxiaspot. com~ has become a pure island country, and even Australia and Canada will change their course! After all, the tiger skin of the British Empire is no longer useful. It is better to find a new master for the two dominions!

　　 Therefore, it is now possible to fundamentally destroy the United Kingdom, and it is not only Germany and the United States, but also Japan. Of course the latter is only possible, but only this possibility makes the British must continue to bite the bullet and do business with the Japanese!

　　 As for saying that if the United Kingdom is forced to fail, can the United Kingdom jump back and completely stand on the side of the Americans? How do you say this? Americans may accept Britain as a younger brother, but they will never return their previous benefits to Britain! Because the United States does not need a United Kingdom with the potential to become a superpower, and from a pragmatic point of view, for a considerable period of time after the war, Britain's military power is not considered to be a country of the level of virtue! There is no need for the Americans to fall out with the Germans for this insignificant ally! There is no need to pay too much! This is the sad reality in Britain at present!

　　 So, judging from the current situation, even if Britain is really unwilling to continue to maintain relations with Japan, it still has to do business with the Japanese in order to repay war reparations. The Japanese also have sufficient means to force the British to maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance. In order to prevent Japan from going outrageously, Britain must also maintain a good relationship with Japan! As the greatest enemy of the British, Germany also hopes that the relationship between Britain and Japan can be maintained, so as to block the approach of the United States and Britain and consume the Americans.
