Chapter 939 939 This is the chapter name
In the early autumn of 1944, the Pope issued an initiative to the world, believing that this protracted war had brought too many disasters to the world, and hoped that all parties could sit down at the negotiating table and seriously discuss how to end this war.
On the day the proposal was issued, the British Parliament voted on a bill urging the government to hold peace talks, which had already been proposed, but the Pope issued an initiative before the vote, which was so coincidental that people felt that there must be something strange in it.
It must be explained here that in another time and space, Germany actually wanted to ask for peace in both wars. In the Second German Empire of another time and space, Emperor Wilhelm had British ancestry, and the Queen of England was his relative, and then traced back to it, the British royal family actually had Hanover blood, and Hanover was one of the Electors of Germany at that time, so before World War I in another time and space, the British and German royal families were in-laws, and the German emperor was still a British control, so he wanted to keep peace with Britain, but unfortunately the German army only had one set of battle plans, that is, to attack France through Belgium, and the condition for maintaining neutrality proposed by Britain was that you could not move Belgium.
So the Kaiser's plan for peace with England went bankrupt.
And when it came to the period of the mustache, that is, the mustache himself died, and he went back on his word again and again, and in the end, even Chamberlain did not believe in the mustache, and the whole of Britain did not believe anything that Germany said, and the mustache himself buried his diplomatic credit, so in the early stage of the war, the mustache wanted to make peace with Britain and the United States to fight against the Soviet Union, and the British and the United States did not bird him - this is exactly the same as the prophecy of "the wolf is coming".
But this time and space is different, Lin Youde has kept all the promises he made, and Germany has not taken the initiative to attack any country. Lin Youde's diplomatic credibility is full, and many neutral countries think that Lin Youde is trustworthy and can be trusted, and among the countries that are at war with Lin Youde, there are also many politicians and diplomats who think that Lin Youde can be trusted.
The recent peace agreement between Lin Youde and Russia has increased his bargaining chips even more, and no one expected the German army to retreat from Baku and Kuban very simply, according to the logic of the great powers, I will eat these two pieces of fat, and they will be mine anyway, unless you defeat me, don't want me to spit it out. Therefore, Lin Youde withdrew his troops so simply, which shocked the politicians and diplomats of the great powers.
Kuban is okay to say, it's just a grain-producing area, Baku is an oil field, or one of the largest oil fields now, Lin Youde patted his ass and left, and gave it back to Russia, who dares to believe it.
All in all, Lin Youde's very "polite" way of letting the British troops retreat safely from Alexandria had already made many people in Britain who did not want to continue fighting move up and put forward bills.

"Peace, huh." Winston? Churchill shook his head, "They have no idea what kind of impact the peace talks will have on the British Empire now!" These idiots are still stuck in the past, thinking that once the war with the Human Innovation Alliance is stopped, things will get better. Is this possible? India is now full of demonstrations demanding independence, Egypt has been taken, independent forces in Burma and other places are also on the verge of mobilization, and the colonies of the British Empire are in danger! Only by winning the war against Germany can we hope to regain some of our former glory, can't they even see this? ”
"The problem is," Greenwood whispered, "we can't win against Germany." ”
Churchill rarely refutes this statement.
Churchill in another time and space, he dared to make that speech to fight to the end, in fact, there was a background. Before delivering this speech, Churchill carefully understood the combat power of the British army, and he knew very well that the Luftwaffe had short legs and could not take the air supremacy of Britain, or even the air supremacy of the Channel. He also knew very well what ships Germany could only use to launch an invasion of Britain, and knew that the British navy was fully capable of dealing with such an invasion.
In addition, Churchill knew that the colonies of the world were moving troops to Britain, and that Britain had not only the troops withdrawn from Dunkirk, but also the second group of expeditionary soldiers who had boarded ships from the southern and western ports of France, so Britain actually had plenty of combat troops.
Taking North Africa as an example, when Montgomery was in a full-scale counterattack in North Africa, the troops invested included troops from India, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and other colonies, which were much more numerous than the German-Italian Afrika Korps.
So Churchill in another time and space knew that even if the United States did not enter the war, Britain could at least guarantee that it would be undefeated.
But Churchill in this time and space obviously miscalculated. This is actually not to blame him, after all, there is a guy opposite who opens the halo of the protagonist.
Now, in the face of this situation, Churchill has to admit that Britain has no chance of winning, and even the United States has little chance of winning.
"The Americans made it a really bad decision." Churchill said indignantly, "If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. military was too deep in the open, Europe would not be like this." ”
"But if the U.S. military didn't act at that time, the new Ming Dynasty would echo Lin Youde's north and south after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, and Russia might not be able to stop it." Greenwood shook his head, "Looking back now, we think it was a mistake, but at the time, none of us felt that there was anything wrong with the United States getting involved in the Chinese civil war. At that time, we still felt that this would be good news for us to allow Russia to concentrate on fighting Lin Youde. ”
"Lin Youde's goddess actually resisted the oppression of the dominant Russian goddess, hmph, this liar, why did he want to drag the goddess off the altar, and in the end, it was not the women who resisted Russia."
Greenwood responded with silence to Churchill's almost venting words.
At this time, Churchill's butler pushed the door in and reported: "Mr. Speaker of Parliament and the deputies of the members of Parliament have arrived. ”
Churchill let out a long sigh, then nodded: "Let them in." ”
He said this with a stern expression, and he knew very well what the sharp interrogation he was about to face next, while Greenwood cast a sympathetic look at Churchill.
It didn't take long for the deputies of the council to rush into the room.
"I know what you're going to say." Churchill directly took the lead, "The government is seriously considering the possibility of making peace with the human renewal alliance, but this is not only our business, you must know that our alliance with the United States stipulates that neither side can make peace with the enemy alone." We have to consult with the U.S. government. ”
"Mr. Prime Minister," a representative of Parliament spoke first, "we know that we have to consult with the United States. But we believe that before consulting with the United States, our government should -- should be unanimous, Your Excellency, you agree with the current situation, should we negotiate peace? ”
Churchill was silent for a moment before replying: "I agree to make peace with the enemy on the condition that the terms of the peace treaty are favorable to our country." ”
