In addition to the German Empire, the current EC has three great powers, Great Britain, France and Russia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe England and France are not the "Little Britain" that people later know and the "Little France" that is about to become Franstein. If you look at the world map of 1944, these two countries are undoubtedly two world empires.

The territory of the two countries was made up of native and colonial territories, of which the French mainland now included Algeria and French Morocco in North Africa. The colonies, on the other hand, included large territories in West and Central Africa and Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, as well as numerous overseas islands and small territories in India. The total area of the mainland plus the colonies is more than 12 million square kilometers. It is 5 times larger than the territory of Germany and its dependencies combined, and the population under its rule is close to 100 million.

As for the British Empire, although now divided into two, the colonies loyal to London still included all of India and British possessions in Africa, as well as numerous islands in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The total territory was no less than that of the French world empire, and it ruled over more people than the whole of Europe.

Moreover, London also received a promise from Berlin that there is only one Britain in the world, and that it is opposed to two Britains or one Britain and one Plus in any form. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the British islands in the South Pacific were all integral parts of the British Empire.

That is, once the United States is defeated, the British Empire will remain an empire on the map!

And for most of Britain living on the island of Britain in 1944, the glorious empire of the sun never sets does not exist only on the map, but in their hearts and dreams, and it is as real as it is.

Because just a few short years ago, this glorious empire still existed and "ruled" the world!

Therefore, the British people of this session are different from the French and Russian people of this session.

The French had no idea of world domination after the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, while the Russians, having been educated by the Bolsheviks for more than twenty years, also knew that imperialism was wrong. As for the idea of emancipating all mankind, there is no such thing as a thought - if the young people of Russia go to Germany, to France, to other rich countries of Europe, they will know that it is they who need to be liberated, and not the human beings living in Paris, Berlin or London.

Therefore, the French and Russians today are more willing to accept a Europe dominated by the Germans, as long as they can get more oil and water from it.

But most of the British people do not want to do this, they still fantasize about going back to the past, or leaving the European Community (the British don't like it anymore) and creating their own Commonwealth.

The current British Prime Minister Moseley is very clear about this idea. But the reality before the more than 40 million British people requires them to bow to Europe and become one with it.

Only in this way will the pampered English be able to continue their decent and elegant gentlemanly life in the future. Otherwise...... Moseley didn't know how to become the Prime Minister of the British people.

On the outskirts of Europaburg, in a villa that originally belonged to the Hohenzollern dynasty, Prince Friedrich and Chancellor Moseley, who had come to visit on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, were talking secretly in a richly renovated study on the afternoon of June 17.

By this time, both of them already knew that the Germans were going to take advantage of the atomic bomb and blackmail the Americans to push the process of European unification even further, to turn the Community into a United States.

It's not as simple as changing a name! The community or something, that is, the customs union plus a monetary union, is basically the nature of a union of states, not even a confederation. The process from the European Community to European unity is therefore reversible.

And the United States of Europe is different, it is a "state", there is a unified constitution, a unified parliament, a unified government, but also a unified navy, air force and atomic bomb force!

While each country was able to keep its own army, it didn't mean much to Britain. Because Britain has never relied on the army to claim hegemony, the navy is the pillar of the British Empire.

Although there are no ships in the Royal Navy in London, the spirit of the Royal Navy is still there, the developed British shipbuilding industry is still there, and most of the soldiers of the British Navy are still alive.

As long as the economy eases up, the British Empire will still have a chance to continue shipbuilding and restore the navy.

In fact, the revival plan of the British Royal Navy has already begun. The design of the new generation of "Daring" class aircraft carriers was completed before October 1942, and the first ship, "Daring", was visited at the Harlan-Wolf shipyard on October 24, 42, although the construction of this large fleet aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 33,500 tons was stalled due to the defeat on British soil. But the aircraft carrier under construction was also not bought by the Germans, but continued to be owned by the British. As long as the finances are a little better, the project can be resumed.

In addition, the development of the "Sea Fury" carrier-based fighter and the "Sea Mosquito" carrier-based torpedo bomber for the "Daring" class aircraft carrier is also progressing smoothly because of the support of Germany.

Now the "Sea Fury" carrier-based fighter has been put into production, that is, the Fokker 636 of the German Naval Aviation, and the "Sea Mosquito" is undergoing test flights.

But just as the Royal Navy was quietly beginning to rebuild, the Germans suddenly accelerated the process of European unification, and secured the support of the leaders of France and Russia.

"Your Royal Highness, the United States of Europe is taking too big a step." Prime Minister Moseley was very embarrassed and said that "the community is barely acceptable to the people, and the United States has gone beyond what is acceptable to the people......"

When Prince Friedrich heard this, he smiled mockingly and interrupted: "Prime Minister, whether the people can accept the United States or not is only your personal opinion, and it does not represent the people. ”

The prime minister can't represent the people, so who can? Moseley looked at the prince with some confusion, "Your Highness, I understand the ...... of the British people"

"Let's let them vote!" Prince Friedrich waved his hand, "We can only agree to Hitler's request, but the final choice should be left to the British people." ”

"You mean to hold a referendum?" Moseley asked.

"Of course!" Prince Friedrich said, "Such a big thing must be referendum." Not only Britain will have to vote, but Germany, France and other countries preparing to join the United States of Europe will have to vote. ”

Europe is Europe after all, and the process of reunification cannot be completely contrary to the will of the people. The referendum process is mandatory, but referendums can also be manipulated by politicians and political parties.

Especially now that Germany, Russia, and France are not very democratic, the ruling parties are very strong, and there are no really favorable legitimate opposition parties. But the situation in Britain was different, and the fascist coalition was not very popular.

"But if the referendum doesn'......t pass," Moseley asked, "I think there is such a possibility, what will happen then?" Can Germany really accept the result of our non-membership? ”

This possibility is not only existing, but very large!

Not only the British people may vote against joining the United States of Europe, but even the French and Russians may vote for a "no joining" outcome.

In response, Germany offered another option - not to join the United States of Europe, but to remain in the European Community.

The European Community, of course, will coexist with the United States of Europe for a long time. Theoretically, the European Community was the primary stage of European unity, while the Confederation (similar to the pre-Civil War era) was the intermediate stage of European unity, and the federal United States was the final form of European unity.

However, these three stages can coexist, and it is unrealistic not to require all the European Community countries to choose to become United States at the same time - in fact, there are three countries that Germany would like to draw into the European Community, such as the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland, and have been outside the Community and have not joined.

In addition, although Franco's Spain formally joined the European Community in 1942, it repeatedly delayed its accession to the European mark area and the European customs area. At this meeting of the leaders of the European Community, although Franco also expressed his support for the United States, he still refused to join the European Mark Area and the European Customs Area on the grounds that "his own economy is too fragile".

Spain's neighbor, Portugal, was simply "ignored" by the European Community and remains a "free" independent country.

As for the Roman Empire, which could be "alongside" with the European Community, there was no possibility of joining the European Community or the United States of Europe, which in the eyes of the Roman Caesar was nothing more than an alliance of Germanic and Slavic barbarians, to which the noble Romans did not bother to join.

The British, on the other hand, have a similar plot to the Romans, and they have always had a tradition of "Europe from the outside". If the British can choose for themselves, let alone the United States of Europe, even the European Community they want to withdraw!

But could the Germans really allow Britain to leave?

In response to Moseley's question, Prince Friedrich only smiled bitterly and said: "The Queen will respect the choice of the British people on this issue, and as long as the British people are willing to choose a path full of suffering and hardship, I don't think the Germans will use force to interfere." But they will not make it easy for us, after all, we have lost the war, we have lost...... There is a price to pay! ”
