The British once again experienced what it was like to be alone on the continent, and unlike their previous glorious isolation, this time they were jointly targeted.

From the standpoint of the Germans, what they did was completely correct, and since they couldn't win, of course, they had to stop the loss in time.

The continent has never been told to fight to the end, and the Germans have paid a much smaller price than they did at the same time in history.

There has not been much change in the military, they have all been restricted, and even more restricted, but in terms of national sovereignty, they have not been divided.

What about the restoration of the electoral monarchy, which is a tradition in the German region, has never lacked adherents.

The new reparations plan will be much more rational than the previous one, not less than 30 percent of the fiscal revenue, and not less than 30 percent of the annual currency issued by the German government.

Everyone learned wisely, this time everyone only took cash, and the reparations paid were settled in lev and gold, and no one chose direct German industrial products as war reparations.

The exact amount of reparations is still being calculated, and the bottom line of payment has been determined, which does not exceed the limit of compensation for the Germans.

In this respect, even if the battle was lost, the Germans did not gain much, and as losers, they used their strength to win everyone's respect and won more relaxed conditions than the Versailles system.

At the cost of millions of lives, they got such a treatment, whether they lost or earned, I am afraid that only they themselves know this question.

Outside London

The makeshift headquarters, set up in a bomb shelter, has now gathered a large number of dignitaries, including former Prime Minister Stanley Winn Baldwin, who has retired from politics.

Now that the war has been fought, the main war faction within the British government has weakened, and the momentum of the main peace faction has risen again.

It's just that it's not so simple to get peace, and Bulgaria, as a rival, won't let them go so easily.

Churchill said with a pale face: "Gentlemen, let everyone take the risk today, I will not repeat what the purpose is, I will first talk about the basic situation of Great Britain!" ”

"On the Army: In order to defend against enemy landings in the British Isles, we have mobilized 3.46 million troops on the mainland, which is basically enough, and if the war requires it, we can mobilize another million.

The Dominion of India, which is now under the greatest military pressure, is threatened by Bulgaria, East Russia, and Japan.

The government also attaches the most importance to this area, and we have formed 327 colonial divisions with a total strength of 4.52 million, and we are still expanding at a rate of one division per week.

The Dominion of Australia, we also mobilized 600,000 troops, and due to the Japanese invasion, they could only cooperate with New Zealand to defend and could not support other battlefields.

New Zealand also mobilized ten infantry divisions, plus the navy and air force, for a total strength of about 180,000.

The Dominion of Canada has mobilized nearly a million troops, including about 760,000 troops in 62 infantry divisions, and there are still 1,300 Canadian pilots defending the British Isles.

The three North American countries are the regions with the strongest comprehensive strength under the Commonwealth except for the mainland, and their main responsibility in this war is to provide us with strategic materials.

Now the three countries have also mobilized 120 infantry divisions, and the total strength of the navy and air force has exceeded 2.3 million.

Theoretically, the three North American countries could continue to expand their armies, but local legislatures have rejected the proposal.

They believe that the current military expansion has caused unease among their neighbors, and that North American countries have followed suit, and that a bad one could easily lead to a war on the North American continent.

……”

Churchill simply said the main regions, and more fragmentary colonies were ignored. The already lost regions of South Africa and Egypt, not to mention, have no value.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to say that we still have enough military strength, but we can't put it together, right?" Stanley Winn Baldwin asked

Churchill confidently said, "Yes, Mr. Stanleywin!" There were more than 600 million people under Great Britain's rule, which was more than the entire Holy League combined.

If we can burst out this part of our strength, not to mention defeat the Holy Alliance, but it is not a problem to end this war with dignity!

In addition, we have more than 17 allies around the world, and their individual strength is not very good, and if they are integrated, their strength is still above that of the French. ”

Everyone's faces changed slightly, it was obvious that his explanation was too far-fetched, and there were not more wars than people, no matter how much he boasted, it could not change the Pan-International Front's inferiority on the battlefield.

Once the European continent is integrated, not to mention a great British Commonwealth, even if all the countries of the world combined, it will not be an opponent.

As a result of Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the European continent was much stronger than it was at the same time in history, or the United States was finished, and the share of European countries in industry automatically increased.

As for the strength of the allies, that's a joke, there is no problem with these countries waving their flags, and it is still reluctant to engage in logistics, let them help fight the war, or don't dream.

No one is a fool, they still want to jump into the fire pit knowing that it is a fire pit, and they do not turn against each other, that is, because the Royal Navy is still there, and they dare not jump out.

Chamberlain said unceremoniously: "Mr. Churchill, there is no point in what you say, the reality has already told us that no matter how strong we are overseas, we cannot change our disadvantage on the battlefield.

The power of Canada and North America, at most, we can only throw it into Australia and let them fight the Japanese.

On the European battlefield, even if they are willing to come, we have no way to guarantee their logistical supply, and now that the enemy's landing war has not yet begun, our local material supply is in trouble.

These problems, you must also know very well, from the industrial age to the present, London's smog has dissipated for the first time, and the people can't even supply coal for heating! ”

This is also the rotation of feng shui, in history, Chamberlain was on the stage, was caught by Churchill and criticized, and now the primary and secondary transposition, it is his turn to be criticized.

This is also the norm in British politics, and the opposition party attacks the ruling party, which is necessary, and after entering modern times, no government can be an exception.

"That's right, the enemy has blockaded the British Isles with aircraft and submarines, and we have to do it secretly to transport supplies from the sea, which is a shame for every British.

But does that make us compromise?

No, the great Great Britain will not compromise!

The supply of materials is insufficient, and the government is already figuring out a way, and from the outbreak of the war to the present, we have opened up more than a million acres of land ourselves, and this number continues to increase.

There was not enough meat to eat, so the heroic people of Britain ventured into the sea to fish, replacing beef and mutton with fish.

There was not enough coal for heating, so our people took spontaneous action, and dozens or dozens of people gathered together to make fires to save energy to the greatest extent.

There is no difficulty that can frighten us, and the great Britain will not be crushed by any enemy! ”

There is no doubt that Mr. Churchill is in a state of speech, but there is no good audience in the room, and no matter how passionate he may be, everyone is indifferent.

No amount of reason can hide the fact that the British Isles are too small to be self-sufficient, and after being blockaded by the enemy, it is inevitable that they will be in trouble.

"Mr. Churchill, this is not the time to speak, what we need is a solution!" Rival Chamberlain said with a gloomy face

"I can resign!" Churchill said unhurriedly

The current British Empire is a mess, and he is not afraid of anyone's threats. Just a sentence of "you can do it, you can go up" is enough to discourage anyone.

Everyone is not stupid, everyone knows how bad the situation is now, and no one can save the fall of the British Empire.

There was no way, they misestimated the strength of the British Empire before the outbreak of war. Ignoring the strength on paper is never reliable.

For example, now, theoretically, the British still have the strength to fight a war, and the comprehensive national strength is not below Bulgaria, but once the battlefield starts, this is not the case at all.

The armies of North America simply cannot be put into the European battlefield, and the risk of sea transportation is too great, and if it is discovered by the enemy, it will be a shipwreck.

Not to mention the transportation of troops, even the daily supply of materials is insufficient, and even the basic living needs of the local people have problems.

If there were enough strategic materials and a huge number of reinforcements, the Germans still didn't mind fighting, they were already on a military adventure, how could they stop so easily?

"Mr. Churchill, please pay attention to your identity, as the Prime Minister of the British Commonwealth, you are not a child, so if you are so willful, it is better not to say it!" Edward VIII scolded

It was his job as a king, to reconcile the parties after the outbreak of the political crisis and prevent it from expanding.

Edward VIII is much luckier than in history, he is still sitting firmly on the throne, he is a hardcore pro-German, but as early as more than ten years ago, Britain and Germany stood together, and he, the pro-German king, will naturally not be ostracized.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I lost my temper just now!" Churchill descends the donkey trail downhill

It is impossible to resign, and now he dares to resign, and he must not want to see the sun tomorrow, when those who want his life can line up from London to Paris.

"Well, you guys go ahead!" Edward VIII said calmly

If you lose, you lose, anyway, it's all done, and he doesn't need to be responsible for it, even if the cabinet wants to shake the pot, it can't get rid of him, and the British royal family at this time is not a soft persimmon.

Even if war criminals are pursued after the war, there will definitely be no royal relationship, and the Bulgarian royal family must ensure their status even for the honor of the family.

At most, it is to abdicate and give an explanation to the people in the country. Edward VIII also did not attach so much importance to this throne, and in history he voluntarily abdicated.

Churchill thought for a moment and said: "It is clear to everyone how bad the situation is now, and now we have three paths, and the Cabinet has decided to proceed at the same time:

On the one hand, he approached the Bulgarians to try to solve the problem by political means;

On the one hand, we are preparing for a defensive battle at home, so that the enemy can see our determination to resist and strive for an honorable end to the war;

If both of these options fail, then the government will move the capital to North America and rely on the ocean to defend against the enemy's attack! ”

Militarily speaking, the third option is the most reliable, once the British retreat to North America, the whole chess game will be alive, not only can they block the enemy's attack, but they can also gain more room for development.

The best option militarily is the worst option politically. Even if the people in China oppose it, we have to see if North America welcomes them.

It would be embarrassing if no one welcomed it.

Before the outbreak of the World War, they wanted to lurk in North America, and they would be welcomed wherever they were.

Now it's different, if they moved the capital at the beginning, they brought huge benefits with them, but now the British have moved the capital, and what they brought with them is war.

"It's better to choose between the first two paths, the government can pat itself on the back and leave, but the more than 40 million British people can't follow along.

Without these people, there would be no Great Britain! Stanley Winn Baldwin said with a gloomy face

His words represent the hearts of most people, leaving the British Isles, they are the lost dogs, and the accumulated family business will be ruined.

"The British Isles are our home, and we won't give up here until the last moment!" Churchill hurriedly assured

The time of abandoning the British Isles is the end of his life, and a prime minister who has lost his homeland does not want to have a good life, and the angry people must want to tear him apart.

Of course, the prime minister's status is too high for the people to reach him, but the British consortium will never mind giving him a peanut to vent his anger, and the whole family will have to take a local plane.

Edward VIII is also now pale, he can tolerate defeat, but he cannot tolerate abandoning the British Isles to North America.

For him, it would be better to surrender directly to the Holy Alliance than to run to North America.
