The atmosphere at 10 Downing Street was depressing. The message sent by the United States for help suffocated the entire cabinet of the British Empire.

In the 10 months since the start of the war, the U.S. military has suffered tremendous losses, and the U.S. soldiers have lost more than one million in many battles. Although the US submarine force has dealt a considerable blow to the Chinese warships and transport ships operating on the east coast of North America, their surface ships and air fighters have been destroyed and sunk by the Chinese Air Force like dumplings......

At the same time, a large number of infrastructure facilities in the United States have been blown up, railways, highways, bridges, power stations, and warehouses stockpiled with massive amounts of materials have been wiped out, and factories built with huge sums of money have been turned into white ruins.

All these actions are constantly consuming the combat potential and overall national strength of the United States, and by now, the US military is not only unable to replenish the troops that have suffered huge losses, but is also running out of munitions, ammunition, and all kinds of military supplies. At the same time, the loss of Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Washington and other places also caused the American people's confidence in the war to fall into a valley. The people's hearts are in turmoil, and the value of the new dollar is also violently turbulent, and with the gradual shortage of domestic supplies in the United States, the United States has entered a desperate situation.

New York must have support, both military and war materiel, military and civilian. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the United States to hold out for much longer.

Now that the Americans' straightforward rescue message is in front of the British Empire, what should be done? The leaders of the British Empire could not jump to conclusions for a while.

The United States and Britain do not deal with each other. Not to mention the independence of the colonies of the thirteen states more than 100 years ago, only to talk about the little-known Second War between the United States and Britain. A small number of British lobster soldiers swept all the way into Washington, the capital of the United States, and burned down the presidential palace of the United States -- why is the White House called the White House? That was to whitewash the traces of the fire after the war. In 1814, the brownish-red stone walls of the presidential residence were painted white.

In the history of time and space, the relationship between the United States and Britain lasted until after World War I. None of them have been well relieved. Even though the Americans made a huge contribution to the victory of the Anglo-French bloc, the British still used Wilson as a monkey at the Paris Peace Conference.

However, in this time and space, since the last war, the relationship between the United States and Britain has officially had a high and low master, with the British being the boss and the Americans being the younger brother of the British. Whether Americans are willing to do so or not, they agree with the relationship for the sake of revenge and their own development.

So so. It has been 20 years since the United States and Britain combined, and now the Americans are in trouble, so of course they are reaching out to the British for help.

It's just that the British Empire has lost its naval supremacy, lost Australia, and lost India, and at this time, are the John Bulls still capable of supporting the United States?

The United States is now a big quagmire, and it doesn't matter if a dozen or two hundred thousand people are thrown into it. If we really want to stop the decline of the Americans in the short term, 500,000 reinforcements are necessary. And to prepare a large number of fighters and pilots.

The British can afford to pay for it. But after this expense was paid to the Americans, what was left of the British Empire itself? When millions of Chinese troops came westward to Europe, could only the Germans and the French be able to hold back the steel flood of the Chinese?

On top of that, the British though lost the Vancouver area of Canada. But there are also along the Great Lakes. The Chinese took 99 percent of Michigan and bombed Toronto and Ottawa in turn, but their ground forces never crossed the border. This is how a hair hung the hearts of the British. It has given the British people a new change in their attitude towards the United States that they have to consider.

Whether it's Prime Minister Herbert. Henry. Asquith is also the current King George V of the United Kingdom. It's hard to draw conclusions for a while. That's the difference between 'own' and 'someone else's', even if this 'someone else' is the little brother that he has known for 20 years.

The British Empire has lost Australia. India is about to be lost, and if Canada is lost, the entire British Empire will no longer be called the 'empire on which the sun never sets'.

All those present today have a clear understanding that saving the United States is equivalent to losing Canada, and the possibility of the collapse of the United States is extremely high; If you don't save the United States, you may not lose Canada, but the United States will definitely perish.

This multiple-choice question overwhelmed everyone.

53-year-old George V subconsciously ripped open the button on his neckline, and his chest was rising and falling violently. Like a vulgar coal worker, not a noble British imperial juggernaut.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a big choice. The choice that the British Empire had to face in this war. ”

"We all know that the Chinese sent a notice before the Australian war, destroying Australia, destroying the United States, and dividing India, which is the strategy that the old emperor of the Chinese has formulated after the end of the last war.

He eliminated all hidden dangers for the Chinese. The ownership of Oceania can give Chinese an advantage in the Pacific and Indian Oceans; The fall of the United States of America would eliminate the threat of the countries of Central America completely. For reasons that are well known, Canada is not in a position to pose a real threat to the South.

Then there is India, splitting the whole of India into one small country after another, and there will be no longer a threat to the Chinese.

The Chinese have made it very clear that their attitude should be extremely resolute, and I believe that even God cannot stop them. ”

George V looked at the cabinet ministers with a sad face, and to his disappointment, everyone's expressions were even lower than him.

"If the Chinese complete all the strategic arrangements of their old emperor, then no country in the world will be able to pose a threat to China's rule, and the Chinese will surely rule the 20th century and beyond." So the British Empire, the French Third Republic, the Second German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, and the American Republic, Western civilizations of different positions came together, and then this war broke out that had been going on for four years.

We started this war to prevent the Chinese from ruling the entire earth in the years to come. But the strength of the Chinese is too strong. Yes, too powerful. I'm in despair. Their superiority in the air gave me no hope of victory. ”

And so. Another telegram from the Chinese gave us a second option. Give up this war. Although to cede the throne of the world to the Chinese. Although India and Australia would be lost, the British Empire would inevitably suffer heavy losses. But we can also continue to have Canada and the vastness of Africa. We can even maintain our interests in the Middle East. ”

"It is only necessary to sacrifice Austria-Hungary and the more distant Balkan Union." By the way, it will also completely ruin the credibility and honor of the British Empire.

"Gentlemen, your decision now corresponds not only to the fate of the United States, but also to the fate of the British Empire. Whether I would rather be crushed like a beautiful jade, or like a cheap tile to preserve myself, as a king who respects the Constitution, I put the fate of the British Empire in your hands. The clerk was quickly recording every word spoken by anyone at the meeting, even though the document might not be released until a hundred years from now.

……

Beijing in the winter of 1918. The sea was crowded with people.

Unlike the old emperor who only needs to master the military situation in North America in North America, Emperor Liu in the ZN sea needs to control the war of the whole world, and at the same time must pay attention to the situation at home.

Even Emperor Xiao Liu's power has fallen a lot. But there are still countless documents that need to pass through his hands every day. Happily, however, there was a great deal of good news from all over the world, especially the Empire's wars in India and North America. No amount of fatigue will be shocked by these happy good news, and it will become dissipated; No matter how weak the body is, it will become a dragon and a tiger after the baptism of good news!

For example, now, after Emperor Xiao Liu, whose eyes were about to cry just now, saw an urgent telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his whole body was like being beaten with chicken blood, and his whole body exuded vigorous energy. "Quick, contact the Cabinet and ask if it is possible for the British to withdraw from this war!"

A successful person. Never lie in the glory that has been obtained, nostalgic and reluctant. Liu Sheng, who had just received a telegram from the British Foreign Office, told Liu Sheng that 10,000 messages about the 'selfishness' of the British -- the fate of the United States had been exchanged for the safety of Canada. In an instant, the possibility of the British Empire withdrawing from the war came to mind.

"Send this good news to North America quickly." In addition, Liu Sheng did not forget to send a message to his father, although he was sure that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must have sent a report to North America at the same time when it sent a telegram to him.

Liu Xian at this time. Old Emperor Liu, who had a cold that had been relieved, continued to nest in the Nuan Nuan General Headquarters. Holding the telegram just sent from Beijing, he said to the attendants beside him: "Go and call back to Beijing." Increase investment in the Ottoman battlefield, raise 300,000 to 500,000 troops as soon as possible and concentrate them in the Ottoman area, and launch a large-scale counterattack against the Austro-Hungarian army. Increase air input in the Ottoman theater. Liu Xian will not give up any opportunity, taking advantage of the vacillation of the British, he will show his strength even more, so that the little pill in the heart of the British will become a big tree in the sky little by little. Later, Liu Xian sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, asking if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had responded to the situation......

It was a real bonus. Emperor Liu, who had the history of the original time and space as a reference, could not help but think of British politics after World War I and before World War II, and infinitely compromised with Germany -- no matter how much criticism this measure received, from a practical point of view, it was only a kind of maintenance and preservation of the British Empire's self-interest.

In order to maintain their crumbling world hegemony, the British had to watch the Germans get back on their feet. Of course, they knew the pros and cons, and the British had risen step by step to the throne of world hegemony, and a clever foreign policy had always been an important part of their imperial hegemony. Even Chamberlain, who has always endorsed the rise of Germany, Liu Xian does not believe that he is really as 'wretched' as he seems on the surface.

Everything is just a kind of self-preservation of the British, a kind of self-preservation of interests. Their efforts may have been able to interrupt the rise of the Germans, but there was still great uncertainty in Eurasia at that time, and there was a greedy country like Japan in the far East, not to mention the 'uncrowned king' of the United States. It is an irreversible fact that the British Empire, which was bombarded in economic, military, demographic, and all aspects, has lost its crown at the time of the world economic crisis, and the status of the British pound as an international reserve currency tends to decline and is gradually replaced by the US dollar. Under these circumstances, the British Empire chose to condone the rise of Germany, because every leader of the British Empire knew that it would be a disaster for the declining British Empire to interrupt and hinder the revival of the Germans by force.

The British did not hesitate to choose between 'their own catastrophe' and 'the catastrophe of the whole of Europe', and the French did the same, and they really hoped that the Germans would fight the poor Russians. This is like the current situation, between its own catastrophe and the catastrophe of the Americans, London did not hesitate to choose the latter.

They kept Canada, abandoned the United States, promised only that the American government would retreat to Canadian territory, and never gave a single piece to New York. All the Anglo-Canadian army, navy, and air forces that had joined forces with the US forces in the United States to resist received telegrams from London and Ottawa, and left one after another despite the dissuasion of the Americans.

The disappointment of New York can be imagined, and the betrayal of the British at a critical moment will be remembered by Americans for a lifetime. But at this time, it was really difficult for Europe to come up with the 'luxury' of the last war to support the United States. An Ottoman war exhausted Italy and Austria-Hungary, the latter of whom had to deal with the attack of the Poor Party, although the pressure on the Poor Party in Russia and Poland was mainly German.

Most of the French navy also joined the battle, and after years of trembling, only eight of the original twelve escort carriers of the Ottomans remained, but on the other side of the Black Sea, the Yan Kingdom had handed over the new six escort carriers and two real light combat carriers to the Ottoman-clad Japanese and the Southern Heavenly Kingdoms.

North Korean pilots and a small number of naval personnel worked in the Ottoman Empire's aircraft carrier formation for a short time, and then completely withdrew from the aircraft carrier formation because of the fierce contradictions with the Japanese side, and the Nguyen Dynasty was quite close to North Korea, and their main navy and pilots were trained in many aircraft carrier battle formations in China, and there were not many people sent to the Ottoman theater, and they advanced and retreated with the Koreans, so that in the entire Ottoman aircraft carrier formation, except for the Ottoman natives who studied from the Ottomans, there were only Japanese and Nantian people.

For China, the retreat of the British in North America can be seen as the vacillation of the British in the war. It is necessary to strike while the iron is hot, so that the little shoot in the hearts of the British, which cannot be inhumane to outsiders, can quickly grow and become a strong and unshakable tree.

Of course, Emperor Liu planned to take advantage of this war to win world hegemony for China, but he was also unwilling to have a life-and-death battle with the Europeans. Compared with the millions of casualties on both sides, he would prefer to see a scene of overwhelming people.

As long as Britain, France, and Germany retreated in this war, Poland and the battered Austro-Khalinarian Empire would be the target of the Poor Party, and even if Austria-Hungary was not destroyed in the end, the parts of Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Western Ukraine, as well as the influence of Austria-Hungary in Southeastern Europe, would be replaced by the Poor Party. The next time a crisis breaks out, it will be the poor party. If China can successfully produce small mushrooms in the thirties and forties, China's hegemonic position will be completely unshakable.

Liu Xian is old, and the steps that can be planned for China can only go so far.

Liu Xian also hopes that he will live a long life, and he will be able to see the first little mushroom explode in China, and then sleep in peace, but there is not much hope. He had a feeling...... (To be continued.) )
