Chapter 688: Secret Alliance (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

U.S. Secretary of State Brian and British Foreign Secretary Edward? Sir Grey's second meeting was again in the evening. Under the cover of night, many hidden things are better laid out to discuss.

Meanwhile, Edward? Sir Grey's rebellion against the United States this time needs to be kept secret. The Americans and the Germans do not want to know what the United States is hooking up with Britain at this juncture.

The sale of battleships by the United States to Britain has already made the Germans gnash their teeth with hatred. If it were not for the imminent start of the war against Britain and the fact that Germany's national strength could not be further attritional, perhaps Germany would have gone to war against the United States. Therefore, the Americans did not want to over-irritate the Germans. The current United States does not have enough strength to deal with the Germans.

"Your Excellency the Secretary of State, Your Excellency the President has promised not to object to the relocation of the British Government to Canada. The prerequisite, of course, is after the fall of the British mainland. If you can keep your homeland, this will be null and void! Brian said.

"Of course, Your Excellency, we will do everything in our power to keep our homeland. Only when the homeland falls, will it be moved to Canada as a last resort! "Edward? Sir Grey said.

Although it is very likely that the British mainland will be reduced to ruins in the next war, in the eyes of the British, it is naturally their own land that is better. If it is not a last resort, they will not leave their homeland and flee to Canada. But if there is even the slightest possibility of holding the homeland, they will not give up.

Brian nodded: "Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, in this case, it is naturally the best!" ”

"Your Excellency, what about the two of us joining forces against Germany? Has Your Excellency the President agreed? "Edward? Sir Grey said. Compared to the previous question, this question is what he really cares about.

Although Canada is a vast country, its population is too small, with only a few million people, and it is almost impossible for Canada to develop to withstand the German attack. Therefore, if the British government wanted to move from the mainland to Canada and resist the pursuit of the Germans, it had to have the support of the Americans. Otherwise, they would not have been able to gain a foothold in the Americas, let alone seek revenge on the Germans. Without its homeland, the British government can only survive for a long time. They no longer had the strength to defeat the Germans. And in this world, except for the United States, other countries do not seem to have that kind of strength. This made the British desperate to unite with the United States, and only then could they hope for revenge.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, Your Excellency the President is not very much in favor of union with Great Britain. After all, if Britain loses its homeland, it will lose its strength. Not only will I not get much benefit from uniting with you, but I will also take great risks. This is a bit too cost-effective. Brian said.

Edward? A hint of shame flashed across Sir Gray's face, these hillbilly Americans dared to look down on the British Empire, which was a complete humiliation for them.

"Your Excellency, after losing our homeland, we have indeed lost a lot of strength. But we also have the power to help America become stronger. So, it's definitely a great deal to work with us! "Edward? Sir Grey said.

Brian nodded, "Yes, I think so too. The military agrees. Therefore, His Excellency the President did not refuse. The military hopes that Britain will transfer the design drawings of aircraft carriers and aircraft, as well as related technologies, such as aircraft engine technology, as well as the design drawings and engine technology of new tanks, to the United States. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the U.S. * army can be greatly improved. In the future, it will be more certain to resist the attack of the Germans! ”

Edward? Sir Grey was stunned, he knew that the Americans were making a request. If Britain is unable to meet these demands, the so-called union will not be able to proceed at all.

"Your Excellency, these are the most cutting-edge technologies of the British Empire. We have invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in these technologies! "Edward? Sir Grey said.

"We know, that's why we're very interested in those technologies. The stronger the United States, the better it will be for the United Kingdom. If we can defeat the Germans in a foreign war, Britain will be able to return to its homeland. Brian continued.

Edward? Sir Grey thought for a moment, then nodded, "Well, I agree. If the United States is willing to ally with Britain, then the British Empire is willing to share those cutting-edge technologies with the United States. ”

"Very well, I believe that will really allow us to learn from each other's strengths. The strength of our two countries will grow rapidly as a result. When the time comes, the possibility of us defeating the Germans will be even greater. "Brian was very happy.

"The Germans are the common enemy of our two countries, and we should do everything we can to defeat them!" Edward? Sir Grey said.

"Your Excellency, the United States Government has a small request. If the government agrees, then the U.S. government will formally form an alliance with the United Kingdom. Brian continued.

"Your Excellency, please speak!" Edward? Sir Grey is colored.

"Your Excellency, the U.S. government hopes that the British Empire will be able to transfer its colonies in the Middle East to the United States. Compared to the huge colonies of the British Empire, the United States has few colonies. If the United States were to help Britain defeat Germany, it would have to pay a huge price. So, we hope that the colonies in the Middle East will be the reward we deserve! Brian said.

Edward? Sir Grey's face was not very good. The British Empire has always regarded its overseas colonies as its lifeline. Now, the British wanted to seize their colonies, which they undoubtedly could not accept.

But, Edward? Sir Grey also knew that the Americans were already determined to win those colonies in the Middle East. If they don't agree, the alliance will probably come to naught.

It is still very cost-effective to exchange the colonies in the Middle East for an alliance with the United States. After all, the colonies in the Middle East are not of much value, almost all of them are barren. The Americans were fairly acquainted and had no claims to those core British colonies.

"All right, Your Excellency. Once we defeated the Germans, the British Empire promised to transfer the Middle Eastern colonies to the United States! "Edward? Sir Grey said.

"Well, we're happy to work together!" Brian smiled and held out his hand.

With two hands clasped tightly, the United States and Great Britain officially formed an alliance.
