What good way did Li Mengyang think of?
Well, just follow what Churchill said now, our Pacific Empire will give you supplies, then you go to war.
As for the people who died in the war, of course it was you British......
I have to say that this trick is indeed a bit of a loss, which is really the truth.
This is simply a proxy war, and the model of proxy war, that is played more by the British.
Britain is an ancestor in this regard, and now, Li Mengyang asked the British to be a substitute for the dead, which is simply ......
Embarrassing, super embarrassing!
But just say no?
Churchill couldn't do it either......
In fact, Britain was very uncomfortable at this time, and King George V was not to blame for his knees being so weak, in fact, his decision was deliberate.
In the last war, Britain actually exposed a lot of problems, the most important of which was that its own production could not keep up with consumption.
This production mainly refers to the military, such as weapons and ammunition, tanks, etc., to put it bluntly, the production capacity of large industries is insufficient.
Very early, at the 1851 London World's Fair, when Queen Victoria declared that Britain was the factory of the world, it seemed like an incomparably honorable honor, but it was just after that. Britain is actually in industry. It's going downhill all the time.
In a particularly fashionable sentence from Li Mengyang's era. That is, since that time, Britain has carried out its own industrial transformation, which can also be said to be industrial upgrading, the service industry has grown, and the industry has declined.
Mr. Thomson, who Li Mengyang borrowed before, told him that the peak of steel production in the United Kingdom is 3.8 million tons a year, which is incomparable to the United States, Germany, France and other countries combined, but. This high peak is really a peak, and it will fall year by year.
With such a peak steel production, London was called the fog capital back then, and now, the air in London is very good......
These industries are actually going out, for example, they have moved to the United States, and the British have begun to play other things, finance, this kind of service industry, of course. It's not that it's completely absent, such as sophisticated technology. The UK is still the strongest...... Otherwise, how could they compete with the Pacific Empire to land on the moon?
But when there was a big war, it became clear that Britain's production was completely insufficient, and the most important thing was steel, the whole steel, which its own country could not be self-sufficient at all, and could only buy it from the side of the Pacific Empire...... There's no way, and no other country can sell them.
And now, after the last war, this industry has not recovered, because it is very simple, this kind of industry, steelmaking or something, these things are all high-pollution, high-cost, but low-profit industries, and the British side has to find more profitable industries in order to recover their economy quickly.
Therefore, the share of heavy industry production in the UK's GDP is getting lower and lower, and what about now...... George V was very aware of the state of his army, and according to the current situation, if he fought a war on British soil, it would probably not be enough to consume, so he felt that it was better to surrender.
Churchill also understood at this time, so he came to the Pacific Empire, in fact, ...... It's coming.
Of course, this is Li Mengyang's opinion, and he knows it very well, so Li Mengyang is also very realistic, so ......
Did Churchill say yes or not?
"Your Majesty, of course we have to fight resolutely against Germany, so ......" Churchill was ready to agree.
Isn't it just some death? Isn't that just us British?
Come on!
But...... I just heard Li Mengyang say.
"Mr. Churchill, wait a minute, we need to talk about something else...... For example, I recently learned that in many parts of Africa, the locals are complaining that you British people are doing very inhumane, very barbaric, which seems to be not in line with the British standards, so I think that at this time, in such a civilized world, the enslavement of people should not occur, so should Britain withdraw from these colonies? Should these places that belonged to the local indigenous people be returned to them? Set them free......"
This one......
Fack! Fack! Fack!
Churchill cursed in his heart!
He has thought that it is impossible for the Pacific Empire to aid himself in vain, of course, he is also ready to pay the bill, in pounds, with real money, and even heard that this Emperor Clint Lee is a big SE ghost, and we can marry a member of the royal family in the British royal family, but ......
He didn't expect this Clint Lee to be so excessive!
How simple it is for Clint Lee to say that Britain should give up its colonies in Africa?
Actually, this matter is also very understandable, that is, we Britain have given up these places, so your Pacific Empire will not come in?
And, ah, these colonies played a key role in the blockade of the Atlantic Ocean before......
In other words, Li Mengyang also asked for such a condition because of this. The British colonies in Africa are too good, the geographical location is simply not said, the entire west coast of Africa is theirs, before the Suez Canal, then anyone who wants to take the eastern route has to buy the British account, no way.
And Li Mengyang's request is very simple, no matter what you Brits say, you have to pay some price, right?
So, this requirement ......
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, I have no choice but to make this decision......" Churchill told the truth.
yes, he's just a prime minister, such a big decision. How could he do it?
"Okay......" Li Mengyang was not in a hurry. He knew that this kind of thing wasn't going to come out right away.
But though. Li Mengyang is very confident, he feels that if the British are not too stupid, then they will agree, after all, fighting the war now is the most critical and the most priority.
So, just wait?
Churchill did not return to England. Rather, it was in the Pacific Empire and other news, but now, the situation in Europe has changed again......
Spain is embarrassed, after Italy tied itself to Germany, then now the more powerful powers in Europe are left with Spain, of course, there is Hungary, Romania, and a whole bunch of countries in Eastern Europe. But at the moment, the most anxious thing is obviously Spain.
Now Spain is headed by Alfonso XIII. He's the son of the twelfth, but this guy has a lot of backgrounds in marrying a wife, and that's ......
British royalty!
Originally, this was nothing, most of the royal families in Europe were family, and everyone had a relationship, but the British royal family, this is a bit of a problem, because the British royal family, Queen Victoria, and most of her children have hemophilia!
Close relatives, this disease is difficult to avoid, so, this Alfonso XIII's wife, she does not have hemophilia, but she carries this gene in her body, so, her children......
So, this is interesting, this thirteenth has a lover...... He is a member of the Saxe-Gotha family.
That is, the aristocracy from Germany, so this thing ......
"I, Alfonso XIII! He will surely lead the Spanish Empire against the evil German army...... Meantime! Declare war on Germany! ”
Well, Alfonso XIII this guy has a strong will to declare that he is going to resist, to deal with Germany, this matter......
"Good! The King of Spain expressed his determination! ”
"The King of Spain is a strong warrior!"
"That's good news for the whole world!"
Well, finally someone stood up and said NO loudly to Germany.
In fact, the reason why Alfonso XIII is like this is also very simple, not because of why Britain is still a German aristocratic lover, but he knows from that lover that German guys have killed a lot of nobles, and the guys who used to be pro-royal are now miserable.
So, how could Alfonso XIII surrender?
But!
Just two weeks after this declaration of war......
"The German army has marched into Madrid!"
"Oh God! President Adolf is so young! ”
"O people of Spain! Let's put our hands up! Come and welcome the great liberation! ”
"Salute! Flowers! To the great Chancellor Adolf and the great German soldiers......"
It's really surprising, the Spanish media who were still scolding Germany before, and soon they turned around, the key is that the German army really drove to Madrid!
The Spanish army is almost about to collapse at the touch of a button!
There's no way, you can't beat it, these Spanish guys may still be very good at bullfighting, but for fighting, their glory days are really over.
The Spaniards who used to be extremely wealthy, these guys are now a bunch of sloppy clowns......
The point is that the contrast is too stark, what Alfonso XIII said before was too awesome, and this result is really too stupid and too fast......
The year 1911 was not yet over, and the remaining countries on the European continent that could resist Germany, the countries that had a little hope, were now gone......
Oh, well, and the Soviets, it's just that the two of them signed a contract before, and they don't invade each other, so ......
Some people are combined, will the two of them do it?
In other words, this is pinning all hope on a communist country......
So, if nothing else, will Germany and the Soviets really fight?
