The impact of the Anglo-German naval battle in the middle of the Atlantic was undoubtedly far-reaching. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info not only let Germany see the strength of the Royal Navy, but also made the Royal Navy realize that they are very likely to lose in this war.

This also made the British begin to think of other ways to recover their disadvantages and win the war.

On the morning of September 6, the British ambassador made an urgent appointment to meet with US Secretary of State William Brown. Jennings? Brian.

"Hello, Your Excellency!" The British ambassador's face was less proud than before, and he looked a lot more humble. You know, in the past, the British looked like a hillbilly or a nouveau riche in front of Americans.

Historically, the United States was a colony of the United Kingdom. Although, in the American independence war, the British were defeated, and they had to pinch their noses and recognize the independence of the United States. However, that's because of a variety of factors. If it weren't for the fact that France was also fighting Britain all over the world at that time, so that Britain could not do its best to suppress the resistance of the Americans, perhaps, the Americans would not have been able to win the war of independence at all, and there would be no United States of America now.

"Hello, Your Excellency, Ambassador." A hint of surprise flashed in Secretary Brian's eyes. The United States is not aware of the British Navy's defeat in the naval battle.

"Your Excellency, I have been instructed to request support from the United States of America. The war that was now going on made the British Empire feel somewhat overwhelmed. In particular, the despicable use of the Germans to break the engagement put our sea lines in danger of being cut off. The British government wants to hire American merchant ships to transport supplies for us, and we want the U.S. government to provide us with a loan. The loan was to be used entirely to purchase war materials in the United States and to be shipped to Britain by American merchant ships. The British ambassador said.

After Secretary of State Bryan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, is this still what the arrogant British can say? You know, haven't the British always looked down on them? Now that he has taken the initiative to ask them for help, is the sun coming out of the west?

"Your Excellency, I confess that I was very surprised by what you just said. Is something going on? After all, the war had just begun, and the British Empire could not hold out? It's unbelievable. Secretary Bryan said.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the British Government, I cordially invite the United States of America to join the Entente in the fight against the evil Central Powers. If the Allies had won the war, the whole of Europe and the whole world would have been ruled by their wicked rule. When the time comes, the United States will definitely not be able to stand alone. The British ambassador said.

Secretary Brian's face couldn't help but become nervous. The words of the British ambassador made him very nervous. How is this going on? The mighty British Empire was actually pessimistic about the situation of the war, and in this case, didn't it mean that the British were about to be defeated?

"Oh God! How is this possible? Secretary Bryan exclaimed.

In the eyes of Secretary of State Brian, Britain is the hegemon of the world! Although Britain's industrial output has been surpassed by the United States and Germany, Britain, with its vast overseas colonies, still has the most powerful navy in the world. With the help of a powerful navy, their overseas interests can be guaranteed. It can be said that as long as the world colonial system built by Britain does not collapse, Britain will still be a world superpower. However, it is unbelievable that the war has only been going on for a little more than a month, and that the British feel that they cannot win the war.

"Your Excellency, it is not up to me to decide whether or not to join the Entente in the war. I need to report back to His Excellency the President. Personally, however, I am in favour of joining the Entente. However, I needed a reason to convince the president and the cabinet. Could you please tell me, what happened? Secretary Bryan asked.

"Your Excellency, I won't hide it from you until now. The Royal Navy fought two naval battles with the Germans. In the first naval battle, we lost. The battlecruiser 'Lion' was sunk. The British ambassador said.

Secretary Bryan nodded, and the United States was informed that the battlecruiser "Lion" had been sunk. However, it was only the loss of a battle cruiser, which was nothing at all for the deep-pocketed British.

"Yesterday we had another naval battle, right in the middle of the Atlantic. The Royal Navy attempted to annihilate the German Navy's broken fleet, but instead fell into an ambush by the Germans. In the fierce battle, the Royal Navy suffered heavy losses. Seven powerful battleships were sunk, three battlecruisers. In addition, a battle cruiser and a battleship were heavily damaged. It can be said that the Royal Navy has already been dealt a heavy blow and has been broken to the bone. The British ambassador did not hold back, telling Secretary of State Bryan all about the defeat of the Royal Navy.

The British believed that only when the Americans felt the strength of Germany would they feel that they would feel that they were in a state of death, and that they would fully support Britain and even join the side of the Entente to fight.

After all, the British are well aware of the ambitions of the Americans. The Americans, like the Germans, wanted to replace Britain as the world hegemon. It's just that their attitude is a little more moderate and less radical than that of the Germans. However, it's all essentially the same.

If the Germans had won the war, Germany would have replaced Britain as the world hegemon. A German Empire that ruled Europe would be much more powerful than the British Empire is today. When the time comes, if the United States wants to become a world hegemon again, it will be impossible. If the Americans still wanted to become world hegemons, then they would never have been able to allow the Germans to win the war.

"Oh God! Are the Germans so strong? "Secretary Bryan was completely stunned.

"Your Excellency, we need the support of the United States of America." This was stated by the British ambassador.

"Your Excellency, I will report to Your Excellency the President immediately." Secretary Bryan said.

Immediately after the British ambassador left, Brian rushed to the White House to report the news to President Wilson. At the same time, before leaving, he informed the other cabinet ministers by phone. The U.S. government must be cautious in handling such a major matter. Whether or not the United States joins the war will have a bearing on the future of the United States.
