"It was an unpleasant day." Elizabeth complained depressedly, then looked at the food in front of her, completely losing her appetite.

She was not a fastidious princess and was even willing to serve in the war. But she's been depressed lately, which has affected her appetite.

"What's going on on the Saudi side, can we take some ...... Forget it, maybe it's a good choice not to anger the Germans at this time. She wanted to ask if she could do something about it.

After the news of the discovery of Saudi oil in Germany broke, the British government-in-exile pondered whether to cause some trouble for the Germans.

One of the most direct ways to do this was to send a navy to attack the coastal areas while the Germans were building the oil fields in the Persian Gulf.

Truth be told, the oil fields in the Middle East, while abundant, are almost zero in their defense against threats from the sea.

Saudi Arabia's oil-producing areas are located along the coast of the Persian Gulf, close enough that ordinary naval guns can cover almost everywhere.

The British government-in-exile had two battleships, and if they drove over and opened fire in the night, and left quickly at dawn, it would cause incalculable damage.

General Phillips, now the commander-in-chief of the navy of Britain's government-in-exile, had drawn up a detailed plan of attack that would destroy all the existing investments of the Axis powers in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, this prepared battle plan was rejected by Mountbatten from the beginning.

"Your concern is necessary, now it is better for us not to provoke Germany." Mountbatten nodded yes and explained, "I'm afraid I'll make the Germans make a wrong judgment." ”

If the Germans had been distracted by attacks in the Middle East and had made any agreement with Japan against the British government-in-exile, their good days would have come to an end completely.

At that time, once Germany had made a partial compromise and Japan had reaped the benefits it wanted, the British government-in-exile had no way out.

Even if Germany could be defeated by the Soviet Union in the future, and even if Japan might be counter-killed by the United States in the future, there would be no British government-in-exile.

Because long before the day of the defeat of Germany and Japan, India would have been divided between the two countries and completely conquered......

Montgomery repeatedly called and hoped that the Navy and Air Force would not provoke Rommel's army and not engage in any harassing work.

In fact, on the Air Force, the British government-in-exile had no decent harassment plans at all. After all, they have too few planes in their hands to fight on two fronts.

Just the increasing number of Japanese planes on the Burmese side is already a headache for the Indian side, not to mention the difficult Luftwaffe.

The Navy still has a little defection from the family, and the aircraft carrier Athletic God, which was originally in India.

But the Air Force really doesn't have many planes - India can't produce planes, it can only receive P-40s from the United States and some other rags.

Relying on such an air force, it is already difficult to maintain one's air supremacy, and who will be idle to go to trouble with another strong enemy?

"The domestic news is also very bad, and this guy Attlee has started to move the team left by Prime Minister Churchill...... This is not a good sign. Although Mountbatten was a general, he still had political vision as a governor.

Recently, a series of changes in Britain have been sent to India, intentionally or unintentionally, which has given him a basis for judging the situation.

"It seems that the pressure from the Germans has played a role, and there are already many voices of capitulation in the country." Mountbatten made his own point of view cryptically.

Elizabeth nodded and said, "His Majesty has no way at such a time, in order to secure the country, he will choose to compromise...... Things are getting a little tricky. ”

Earlier, they already knew that the British were producing shells for Germany. If the cooperation between the two sides deepens further, Germany's power will be strengthened like never before.

If the British industry was used by the Germans, and the accumulation of a hundred years of seafaring experience became the experience of the Germans, then the sea would no longer be a barrier, but a smooth road for the Germans.

"What I care about most is helping the Germans train their ......navy," Mountbatten paused for a moment before voicing his concerns.

"Once the Germans have more sailors, they will be able to fight with the warships that our country has handed over to them...... At least a third of the hundreds of warships will be transferred to the Indian Ocean to fight us. "Mountbatten spoke of the worst.

The legacy of the British Navy, which now Germany has not inherited. If Germany completes the handover, then the weakness of the German navy will be a thing of the past.

"Germany, which controls the Mediterranean, will immediately enter the Indian Ocean, and we will be completely passive." Elizabeth understood a little and spoke.

"Now it seems that maybe we shouldn't have bet on both sides at the time...... The Germans clearly have a better chance of winning, and if we don't mess with it, maybe Britain will be able to retain its second place in the world for the future. She was a little aggrieved and felt that her efforts had come to naught.

Mountbatten was not in a good mood either, which is why he had been depressed for the last month: he had less and less hope of victory, and his future was nothing more than a choice of subjects between Japan and Germany.

"Send a secret telegram to the country and ask my father...... Turn on 'Avalon', Attlee's side is no longer trustworthy. Elizabeth had an idea, and seemed to have thought of a way to crack it.

Avalon was a separate communication channel for the royal family when she left, a radio station that no one knew about.

The purpose of leaving this radio station is to deal with this situation of not knowing who to believe. The use of Avalon at this moment also proves that Elizabeth has nothing too good to do.

"Send a secret telegram to His Majesty the King, and as a last resort, I have decided to take the risk and surrender not to Germany, but to the British Empire!" Elizabeth intended to use a diplomatic detour to push the problem back to Germany.

She did not negotiate terms with Germany, but with the British Empire! Unless Germany did not recognize this peace and obstructed the unification of the British Empire, they could only put forward some corrective conditions.

In this way, India, a British colony, is still a British colony, not a "German-occupied zone"! Judging by the results, it doesn't seem bad.

"That's right! Kick the ball to Germany! That's a wonderful solution! Glancing at Elizabeth appreciatively, Mountbatten nodded and sighed: "In this way, we can be more calm and wait to see what happens until September!" ”
