"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we must now be prepared to fight to the death. If they surrendered to the Germans, Britain would be no different from their demise. Only by fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of chance. Churchill looked resolute.

"Fight to the death? That would turn the entire British Isles into a battlefield. When the time comes, our land will be scorched, and our cities will be reduced to ruins. And our people will die in the war. In that case, in the end, what is left of the British Empire? "Edward? Sir Grey shook his head against Churchill's view.

"Sir Sir, I hope that we will be able to resist to the end, because I want to fight for the last chance. If, we can withstand the attack of the Germans. Or rather, let the Germans suffer so much in the British Isles that they had to give up the use of force to defeat us. In this way, we may be able to pay as little as possible. This would be very good for the British Empire. Of course, it will also cost us more. But as long as we can achieve this goal, it will be worth it. Churchill said firmly.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded, he certainly hoped that a decent peace could be achieved. In this way, even if he steps down, his face will look better.

"Can our army hold the homeland?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.

"Your Excellency, the home army has grown to two million men. But we lack weapons and equipment, and the soldiers lack training. Once it encounters the attack of the elite troops of the Germans, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. "Secretary of War Richard? Haldan said.

The Army has never been the strong point of the British Empire. The British Army, in addition to having the world's largest navy, has always been small. Unless there is a big war to be fought, the British Army will be temporarily expanded. In such a situation, can you still expect the British Army to be so elite? That's simply not possible.

In addition, the most elite unit of the British Army is undoubtedly the Expeditionary Force. But alas, the expeditionary force has been completely annihilated in France. As a result, the British Army lost millions of troops, and it was still the most elite part of the army. This is undoubtedly a great blow to the British Army. Want to rely on the British Army to hold the homeland, Richard? Haldan, I really don't have much faith.

Prime Minister Asquith's brow couldn't help frowning. If the army cannot hold the homeland, then resisting to the end is a complete waste of time, and the strength of the British Empire is wasted.

"Your Excellency, the expansion of the army to two million men has not reached our limit. With the population of the British Empire, and now it has reached a point of life and death. The army could have been expanded by another two million men. As for weapons and equipment, we can put together step by step. Enough soldiers can make us last longer in the war. The Germans are attacking us across the Channel, and the pressure on their logistical supplies will be very great. This also constrained them from sending troops to the British mainland. I expect that the Germans will be able to send only a few hundred thousand men to land on British soil at most. In this way, our army can fully withstand their attack. As long as the Germans could withstand the attack, there would be room for maneuvering. When the time comes, we may be able to pay less. Churchill continued.

There can be no doubt that Churchill intended to squeeze out the entire military potential of the British Empire. This is undoubtedly an all-or-nothing gamble. However, if Churchill can really succeed, then it will definitely be of great benefit to the British Empire. If nothing else, at least it can preserve the native territory of the British Empire, as well as the power of the monarch, so that the British Empire does not have to be restricted. As for the overseas colonies, how much they can keep, only God knows.

Of course, to achieve this goal, we must also be prepared to pay a heavy price. It is not known how many British people will die on the battlefield because of this. How many families have been ruined and how many towns have been reduced to rubble in the war.

"If you can successfully resist the German attack, it will be a good thing. But what do we do if we fail? "Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd's? George asked.

"Even if it fails, I don't think it's going to be worse than it is now, right? The current situation is already extremely bad! Churchill continued.

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Asquith, waiting for him to make a final decision.

"This war, we have done our best. However, the end result was still not what we wanted. If the war were to end now, the Germans would not have missed this opportunity to slaughter us. Having learned the lesson of the last time, everyone should know how big the appetite of the Germans is. If it surrendered to the Germans, the British Empire would have been completely reduced to a third-rate small state. I don't think anyone wants to see that day. However, if you resist to the end, there are also too many risks. Britain itself will be devastated by the war, and the population will suffer heavy casualties. If we win, that's good, and we can end the war at a smaller cost. But what if we lose? The British Empire is completely finished! Prime Minister Asquith said. Now he is also in a dilemma, not knowing what choice to make.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, even if we can't hold on to it on soil. We will fight to the end. The British Empire would never have conceded defeat to the Germans like this, nor would it have been destroyed by the Germans like this. If the native can't hold on, we can still go to the colonies. Go to India or Canada or Australia. Stay away from the European continent, so that we can continue to persevere. Although the Germans are very strong, they can't cross the ocean to defeat us, right? Therefore, the British Empire will not be destroyed. Churchill said excitedly.

He had already thought about it before that. At a time when everyone thought that the British Empire had lost and had to surrender to the Germans, Churchill had already thought of something more.

Listening to Churchill's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. The British Empire had vast colonies, and it would be best if you could escape to those colonies. At the very least, as cabinet ministers, they can continue to hold power and live comfortably.
