Chapter 405: Fighting to the End (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Bastard! It's so hateful, it's too arrogant. Do they think that www.biquge.info the Germans have already been defeated? Their army has taken over the whole of Britain, and we can only let them slaughter it? Prime Minister Asquith roared angrily.

When the conditions put forward by the German side were sent to Prime Minister Asquith, he completely extinguished the desire to sue for peace. In his opinion, there was no sincerity on the part of the German side at all. It is completely to slaughter Britain as a defeated country. If they accepted the terms offered by the Germans, then the British Empire would really have no place to die. In the future, the British Empire will not only cease to be the hegemon of the world, but will not even be considered a great power, and will be completely reduced to a second- or third-rate country. How could Prime Minister Asquith agree to such a condition?

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the conditions put forward by the Germans are indeed very harsh. It is impossible for us to accept such conditions. Therefore, the Germans really had no idea of making peace with them. They are very confident in their military strength, and they plan to use their strong military power to defeat us directly. "Edward? Sir Grey was also depressed. He could vaguely feel that the Germans were closing the door to peace talks, probably thinking that they would make Britain pay a greater price. Once Britain loses the war, they are completely finished.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "From now on, no one is allowed to mention peace talks with the Germans anymore." We have no choice but to continue the war. Unless we can defeat the Germans in the war, we must be able to withstand the Germans' attack, no matter how bad we are. Otherwise, there would be no future for the British Empire. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." All British cabinet ministers said. Through this contact with the German side, they also knew that it was impossible to keep the British Empire through peace talks. In this case, there is only one last way left, and that is war.

"Lord Churchill, the Royal Navy must be prepared for a decisive battle with the Germans. If the Royal Navy could win the decisive battle, the crisis of the British Empire would be resolved. If the Royal Navy could not win, then our homeland would have to be prepared to resist the German landing. Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Churchill nodded. He knew that the Royal Navy now had a heavy task, and whether they could withstand the German attack was directly related to the survival of the British Empire. He also promised that he would do his best to win the war. However, whether he can win or not, he does not dare to pack a ticket. After all, this time the opponent is too strong.

"Your Excellency, the Minister of War, next, the Army will be fully mobilized. It is not only necessary to maximize the strength of the expeditionary force, but at the same time, there must be enough troops to defend the homeland. If, the navy was not able to withstand the attack of the Germans. Well, it's up to the Army. Prime Minister Asquith said solemnly.

He knew that once the flames of war reached Britain, it would bring a disaster to Britain and even to all the British people. However, the Germans were reluctant to engage in peace talks. As a result, they had no choice but to prepare for battle with all their might. If Britain was to be kept from perishing, the only way to do so was to resist the German attack. Even if the war was fought on its own soil, it had to resist the Germans, otherwise Britain would be completely finished.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Army is already planning a third batch of mobilization. At that time, in addition to the number of expeditionary forces sent to France will be increased to 1 million, there will also be 1.5 million land forces on the mainland. If there is enough time, we will also carry out the fourth batch of mobilization. In that case, our strength will be further enhanced. "Secretary of War Richard? Haldan said.

"Hmm!" Prime Minister Asquith nodded with satisfaction: "However, in addition to the further expansion of the army's strength, the innovation of weapons and equipment must also be hurried. Before the Germans landed on the Reich soil, they developed equipment that could restrain the Germans with advanced weapons such as tanks. Otherwise, it is very likely that our homeland will not be able to hold on. The tanks of the Germans on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, shining brightly, and the Russians were embarrassed. According to the information obtained, the Germans will also deploy a large number of tank troops on the Western Front this time, and we must be prepared. I hope that once the war is fought on the Reich itself, we will fight to scorch the land and defeat the Germans! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. As for the tanks used by the Germans, we have already begun to develop them. At the arsenal, samples have already been taken out, and after demonstration, they will be mass-produced. In addition, we are also developing weapons capable of destroying the tanks of the Germans. After research, it was found that the small-caliber cannon, which could be directly used as an anti-tank gun, had great lethality against the tanks of the Germans. If the German Army dares to land on British soil, we will surely let them shed their blood here! "Richard? Haldan's face was resolute.

For the British, if the navy fails, then only the army is left to defend the homeland. If the army had not been able to withstand the British attack in the Great War on Homefront. The demise of Britain, then, was inevitable. Naturally, no one wants Britain to go that far. Whenever there was any possibility, they hoped that the British Empire would continue to exist.

"Very well, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that with the concerted efforts of everyone, the British Empire will be able to overcome this difficulty and win the final victory!" Prime Minister Asquith said.

Although, the current situation is very critical. However, the good news is that no one has completely lost their fighting spirit. And this gave Britain a glimmer of hope of victory. Prime Minister Asquith couldn't help but have a little more expectation in his heart: "Perhaps, God can bless the British Empire and win this war!" ”

Prime Minister Asquith then rushed to Buckingham Palace to report the situation to King George V. King George V, despite his concerns about the future of the British Empire, also expressed his support for Prime Minister Asquith's decisive battle. King George V claimed that the royal family would do everything possible to support the government and the army. After all, if Britain no longer exists, he, as a king, will naturally not be able to continue.
