Chapter 278: War is no joke

Han Li had already exhausted all his resources by bombing and playing London, and it could be said that he had lost the ability to drive the six aircraft carrier fleets back to Shanghai.

This moment.

He could have used his summoning privileges to redeem them and resupply them all at once, but he chose to contact Germany.

Contact Hitler.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

At this moment, Han Li's enemy was Britain, so he had to unite everything that could be united, and he contacted Hitler, saying that he hoped to be able to get close to their shores for supplies, and the supply was gasoline.

If Hitler was willing to help, then he was Han Li's hardcore ally.

Han Li didn't want this, because everything he did after that was not too late for Han Li, of course, in the eyes of the British legal person, Han Li was probably already a devil, already the same as Hitler.

Han Li also chose to contact without care.

When Hitler found out, he did all the research, so to speak, and finally chose to agree, but he had to pay more expensive money, because their gasoline was not bought for free.

Han Li contacted Lao Jiang.

Lao Jiang used the country's foreign exchange reserves to pay the money, so everything was arranged.

Han Li's aircraft carrier formations were replenished one by one, and it is said that the German army took this opportunity to take a lot of photos, taking pictures of helicopter gunships, J-15 fighters, and aircraft carriers.

Han Li ignored it, and when the resupply of the ships was completed, the next ultimatum was delivered to the British Prime Minister and Chamberlain through Roosevelt.

He took the ultimatum and said speechlessly: "See, the Germans don't pay attention to our ban at all, and no one wants to help you when your country is in a passive position." ”

The ultimatum was again in the hands of the generals in battle.

It is still clearly written, "This time our army is going to bomb the city of Manchester, please evacuate the people there after twelve o'clock tomorrow noon." ”

Manchester City is not only home to Manchester United and Manchester City, but also the world's first industrialized country and the most important city in the United Kingdom.

If this place is destroyed, Britain will not be able to breathe for ten years.

In terms of importance, here is no worse than London.

The destruction and burning of London has already made the British people angry, angry, and want to continue the war, want to fight back, but in the same way, looking at the corpses, they also realize that the war has begun, and they are not far away.

So the upper echelons are also distressed.

At first, they thought that the war would be fought on the sea, in Asia in the Far East, but they did not expect that the other side would directly kill and wreak havoc on their own land.

It was a complete mistake.

Moreover, the opponent's fleet was at his doorstep, and he could bomb anytime and anywhere, and his side was helpless, he originally wanted to drag down Han Li's supplies, but the German army actually chose to agree, and actually chose to help.

This is simply to add insult to injury.

A naval general threw his combat pen there and said helplessly: "Let's talk about peace, they just want to be their own concession, this is nothing at all?" Why should we shake the foundations of the British Empire? ”

"They're doing things in India, and now the Indians are ready to pick up guns, and if it goes on like this, everything will be played by the British Empire."

Some of the doves, the servicemen, who did not want war, made a noise.

The hawks, led by Churchill, did not want the war to end like this, to lose like this, but this era is no longer a war for the army.

They sent the army in many places, sent large-scale tanks and artillery to block the attack, but they didn't think about logging in, and round after round of bombing was enough to destroy Britain.

Britain is big enough, but there are only a few cities that are really useful, and because of the bombing of London, they have lost face internationally.

They contacted Japan, and Japan was naturally willing to cooperate, but Japan had no way at all, and could not help, and their defeat was inevitable.

If you really reach cooperation, you will really pull yourself down the water.

As for saying, France.

France was happy, and when France was defeated, the French people lost all their face and had no standing in the international community, but at this time Britain was the same.

The French people raised their heads again and looked at the bad luck of England with a smile.

Such a series of analyses.

Almost the only reinforcement from Britain was the United States.

Chamberlain listened to the discussion of the people below, and knew that there was no way to continue the discussion, everyone was actually waiting for him to make a decision, and as a conservative prime minister, he actually hoped to finish this battle as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, he walked to his office, picked up the phone, and contacted Roosevelt.

Although the United States and Britain also fought, they were of the same clan and clan, and they were all descendants of the Anglo-Saxons.

Chamberlain said directly, "President Roosevelt, do you think my country is going to continue this war?" ”

"War should not appear in this world in the last place, hand over the public concession and, you will be the leader of the world, but you choose to fight, then this is the result."

At this time, Roosevelt's United States had not yet become the world's largest power, so it was basically isolationist at home and did not care about the mess of other countries.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, it is said that Roosevelt knew about it, and it was to get Congress to pass the war, otherwise it would not have been possible to fight at all.

At this time, Roosevelt also knew very well that the United States would not wade into this troubled water, and would not come to help Britain, so he persuaded him: "Let the world restore peace, and we can help with the construction of London." ”

“······”

Chamberlain understood thoroughly that the United States would not help, and said in a deep voice: "Let me go and meet our king." "Didn't attend the meeting.

Directly in the car, he found George VI, who had taken refuge in the manor at this time.

George VI looked at the ultimatum and completely understood that he was going to bomb Manchester City, and asked: "Is it impossible to fight?" ”

"Yes, the rescuers from other territories have not yet arrived, the Indian side is also in chaos, and the situation on the mainland is also very bad, there is no air supremacy, and the other party has not thought about logging in, so there is really no need to fight anymore, and it can be fought if it continues, but the losses will be greater, and we have almost no allies left, and we have made the wrong choice for this war."

Chamberlain bowed his head, "After the peace talks, I will take the blame and resign, I will choose to go down, and ask the king to give me this right for the sake of the lives and finances of all the people." ”

"Your power is given by the people, and I have no opinion."

No opinion does not mean surrender, but you can choose whatever you want, the king of England at this time only has this little power, he shrugged his shoulders and gave Chamberlain a hug.

Chamberlain nodded, "Then I see." ”

Leaving the estate where the royals were on vacation, Chamberlain thought a lot along the way, thinking about countless great achievements of the British Empire, but the result.

This war is going to be lost.

Almost for the first time in hundreds of years.

He took off his hat, knowing that his prime minister had done it, but that would not make him have any superfluous thoughts, and if he had to choose, he would rather not be prime minister, or rather, he would rather use his life to save the honor of the British Empire.

But it simply doesn't work.

So he was very helpless and regretful, sighed, and couldn't help himself for a long time.

Fortunately, when he passed the message of the peace talks to Han Li through Roosevelt.

Han Li said with a smile: "Of course we want peace talks, I'm not interested in the war, I just want to go back to our concession and hope that they can agree immediately, and then the war will be over." ”

Han Li added, "The conditions that were promised to them at the beginning can still be met, and they can be recovered within five years, and the concession will now belong to me." ”

"Okay."

Roosevelt passed the message.

Chamberlain threw the terms of the peace talks to the generals who were clamoring for war, saying: "Is it worth it to exchange these conditions for Manchester in my British Empire, and is it worth it to exchange London and tens of thousands of lives?" ”

“······”

Everyone was speechless, and the solution was obvious.

The peace talks were successful.
