29 January 1912, Buckingham Palace......

In terms of name, this palace of course originally belonged to the Duke of Buckingham, of course, the Duke of Buckingham and the current British royal family...... Well, it's not a family, it's really not, it's a lot worse.

This history is relatively long, but even if this Buckingham Palace was built and then bought by the British king, but from here, then the British royal family is actually different.

What Li Mengyang knows, the British royal family was later Windsor, the Windsor dynasty, and why is it called this name?

Because this was changed by the British king himself, because in their name, there is a German name, and this name ......

Saxony-Coburg-Gotha!

That's right, that's it, and the fact is that since 1901, that is, the death of the old lady Queen Victoria, the British royal family is different, they should be called the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, no way, Prince Albert is a German, a member of this family, and his son should of course be the same, so, their family, this dynasty, in fact, should be, and must be German!

Because of the war, the name of this Germany is not good, so people changed their names, this is something Li Mengyang knows, but now......

On this day, Buckingham Palace, as usual, was also the sun rising in the east, but outside, it was crowded, and it seemed that all of London had come.

You know, the location of Buckingham Palace is not very good, as far as Li Mengyang knows the CBD concept, it is absolutely not compatible, this is a suburb of London. So. Why do so many people come to the outskirts of London?

It's not time for the spring outing, right?

Apparently. It's because the King has something important to announce, and it is, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, King George V appeared!

"Ladies! Gentlemen! Sons of the British Empire! After a difficult discussion, as well as arguments, and even ...... We made a decision, and it was a very difficult decision, and I was the King of the British Empire. did not lean towards this decision, but, for the sake of the vast number of subjects of the British Empire, for the sake of the British Isles, for the sake of Ireland, for the sake of Scotland...... The well-being of England, I must announce this decision now, and that is...... We, the British Empire, will establish a long-term, close, all-encompassing alliance with the German Republic! ”

This is ......

"Ahhh

"Shhhh......h

"Oh God! I simply can't believe my ears! ”

"Oh my God! Are we British going to be lackeys of the Germans? ”

When George V finished his words...... All right. Before he finished speaking, the whole scene was chaotic. At this time, the atmosphere in London was extremely great, but there were many, many military police officers at the scene, and they could only shout and vent their emotions, otherwise they couldn't do anything.

Is it going to bleed?

That's right, the one who stormed Buckingham Palace was indispensable for a stick, and he might have been shot, so forget it, but it's not ......

The news is that the British Empire has surrendered to Germany like this, right?!

It should be true, although the King of England used a lot of modifiers and used a lot of twists and turns, but this central meaning is like this.

What makes an intimate alliance?

Isn't it just to the German side, then this news will naturally explode all over the world!

"The King of England declared an alliance with Germany?"

"The King of England is the king of kings!"

"The King of England has made the right choice, and he is indeed a wise man!"

"The King of England is fantastic! We need to learn from him! ”

This one...... That's right, that's what came later, the news all over the world, except for a few businesses that questioned the actions of the British king, such as the newspapers of the Pacific Empire, the newspapers of the rest of the countries were mostly praising the British king's choice!

What about this...... Isn't the style of painting wrong?

Isn't this Germany an aggressor? They're conquering cities on the Great Highway of Europe.

And the British, who are not the leaders of the League of Nations, how can they be so undisciplined and submit to Germany in this way?

I should say, it's a bit wrong...... Well, that's all from the British point of view, they just think a little, a little.

But if you look at it from the perspective of the British royal family, or a longer period of time, a larger situation, it is history, and the current world situation, then ......

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this choice!

Really, from other people's perspectives, it seems difficult to understand, but from the perspective of the British Crown and the British upper echelons as a whole, it is much simpler.

First of all, who is the King of England now?

German!

No matter how you analyze it, even if the dynasty does not change, then the previous dynasty is actually inseparable from Germany, and everyone is really a family!

So, isn't it easy for a family? Right?

Secondly, what is the situation now? What is the state of the world?

The British economy is finished, very, very finished, this state is so bad that people want to cry, of course, maybe Britain can recover, but it has to wait for time, it was so miserable to be fooled before.

So, if the economy is not good, how can this battle be fought?

What was the situation in Germany at this time?

The German army, on the European continent, is devastated, and anyone who stands in front of them will have only one end, and that is to be crushed!

Moreover, after the German defeat of France, their strength increased again, not to mention that France was very strong, and they had a lot of ships.

Although many ships escaped to the British side, many ships were acquired by Germany, which was a very important war capital.

At this time, the development of the British navy was not very good, otherwise, they would not have scolded the Pacific Empire for being unrighteous and undermining the London Convention on the Sea.

The Navy is too expensive, and the British Royal Navy, where do they have any money? Some of the money is also going to the moon.

This strength is like this, Britain's original naval strength is the first, but now, they have fallen, originally the Pacific Empire is the second, the French side is the third, but now, the Pacific Empire is the first, and Britain is almost the same as France.

In this case, according to the current comparison of naval strength, Germany plus France, then Italy, Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands...... Although many ships have escaped, everyone is about the same.

Even if Britain brings a group of younger brothers, these little brothers are remnant forces, and then deal with Germany, which almost unified Europe, this is really, there is no certainty!

In addition, that is the power of the Soviets, they have already taken all of Northern Europe, just look at the map, if Northern Europe completely falls into the hands of Soviet Russia, then Britain is equivalent to being surrounded on three sides.

There is a nice island in the north called Iceland, but that Iceland has always had a bad relationship with the British because of the cod...... Many people don't know that British fishing boats always go to the north, where there is good cod, very ...... The most common dark dishes of the British are potatoes and fried fish, and that fish is cod.

At this time, there is no maritime convention at sea, and a London maritime convention still restricts warships, as for what economic zone, what 12 nautical miles, there is no concept at this time.

Therefore, the relationship between Britain and Iceland is very bad, then, when these conditions are put together, Britain is equivalent to being surrounded, of course, there is still a gap.

And ...... of this Yes, Britain can ask the Pacific Empire for assistance, and they did so, and they photographed Prime Minister Churchill, which can be said to be very important, but but!

The demand of the Pacific Empire is that Britain wants to cede its colonies in Africa, so how can Britain control the other colonies?

The most important thing is India!

Africa is gone, the Suez Canal is difficult to pass, and the Pacific Empire still has a certain strength there, so is India, the pearl of the British Empire, still in the hands of the British Empire?

And ah, this is also the land of our British Empire, right?

That's right, it seems that the Pacific Empire's conditions were agreed, so the British Empire lost even more territory, right?

In the end, is the British Empire just? Is the German Republic evil?

That's right, now Germany, they didn't massacre, and they didn't have any bad moves, everyone just went to war, several European countries lost and were captured, that's it, there is nothing else, the war is lost, people are the winners, that's it.

And Britain is indeed inferior to Germany now, and I heard that Germany has come up with a very powerful tactic to make its own army appear behind the opponent's defensive line, which is simply ......

The English Channel is useless!

That's right, right now, like Germany, there is no very good way to fight in the air, space and ground with aircraft, artillery and tanks, otherwise Europe would not have fallen so quickly.

Therefore, it was a natural thing for the British king to surrender to Germany, and they did not declare war on Germany in the first place, so ......

After this news came out, what would be the consequence for the Pacific Empire, a country that had already declared war on Germany?

Wait a minute!

It seems that our Pacific Empire has been isolated all of a sudden!
