The Duke of Windsor's visit to Edinburgh was a trip full of ambiguity and warmth. The Archduke's return home may seem reckless, but it is deeply in line with the restless hearts of the Sugs who worship "the thief" in order to save the thousand-year-old city of Edinburgh from the destruction of war.

Longing for the "heroes" to fly the eaves and walls, fighting swords and rivers and lakes, the martial arts complex in the hearts of the British is no less than that of the Han people.

At the same time, when the multinational forces were defeated, the Allied "Hou Xi" plan was in full swing, and the North American continent was in the midst of war, Eisenhower promised to meet with the Grand Duke of Windsor.

With the defeat of the multinational forces in Europe already assured, did Eisenhower have to find a way out for himself in advance?

On the island of Great Britain, the Allied land, sea and air forces are approaching in three dimensions, and Hadrian's Wall is not the Great Wall of China, more precisely, it is just a long wall. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army relied on the Great Wall to prevent the onslaught of the Japanese army. And this Hadrian's wall is unlikely to cause any obstacles to the highly mechanized Han army.

In the Cheviette Hills region of southern England, the multinational forces were defeated in three battles under the three-dimensional attack of the Allies. 70,000 U.S. troops and 50,000 Canadians were cut off by the 2nd Guards Panzer Corps in Northumberland and had to surrender.

In the battle of Leeds, the strength of the multinational force seemed to have run out, and Eisenhower's bargaining chips became less and less.

"General Ike, you should have made a decision!"

At the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, in the reception rooms of the Château de la Saint Cross, the burning pine wood in the fireplace made a crackling sound, but Eisenhower's did not feel any warmth. Scotland in November is cold, but even colder is the hearts of American admirals.

The defeat of the multinational forces on the battlefield of Great Britain was assured, and as commander-in-chief, Eisenhower did not even have a chance to evacuate early. Both in the air and on the sea, they have been controlled by the Allies. There is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and on this isolated island that has been completely blocked, the US generals, like other soldiers of the multinational force, have no chance of escaping.

"Decided?" The Duke of Windsor's words were like a talisman. The war is already like this, the United States mainland is being invaded by the largest scale in history, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of multinational troops have suddenly become motherless children and are left on this isolated island. The so-called decision is nothing more than surrender to the Allies. And that would mean that he would become the first general in the history of the United States to surrender to the enemy...... Eisenhower did not dare to think further.

"Actually, this time, there was another person who wanted to come to Edinburgh with me......"

"Oh?" Eisenhower raised his head, and the Duke of Windsor looked like he was still talking, obviously posturing. But at this time, how can the general still have the heart to reprimand this goods, in other words, this goods is now a piece of fragrant bait, who makes the family and the Han Emperor "irreversible"?

"Well, yes, General, you know this man, Webb, Mr. Sam Webb!"

The Duke of Windsor took a sip of hot coffee, although this is his home, but to be honest, the climate in Scotland is really not as good as Canberra in South China.

"Sam Webb? Workers' Party Leader/Seat? Didn't he defect after he was released from prison? ”

Although he led troops abroad, Eisenhower was always well aware of domestic political and political trends, not only in the military circles.

"Yes, Ike. Mr. Weber re-established the headquarters of the Workers' Party in Hawaii and amended the constitution to seize power by force. Well, you know, this program/program of the Workers' Party, in cooperation with the Han Empire, is not a fantasy. Moreover, Mr. Weber intends to invite you to join the Workers' Party of America, and promises that if you agree to join the Workers' Party, he will nominate you to be the Vice-Chairman of the Workers' Party and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Workers' Party's armed forces. ”

"What?" Windsor's words made Eisenhower's thin body tremble slightly, and a few drops of coffee from the cup in his hand spilled due to the shaking.

"Don't get excited, General!" Windsor thought that his words had insulted the American general, "You also have to think about the lives of the hundreds of thousands of multinational force soldiers under your command......"

"Grand Duke, when is Mr. Webb coming?"

"I ......," the Duke of Windsor laughed in surprise, "this...... Also get in touch later! ”

Eisenhower almost burst into tears, he was so excited that he dared to love this thing was pure foolishness!

"Ike, don't worry, I'll send a message to Jiang Shuai now!" Windsor also knew that it was too big to play, and immediately got up.

……

The battle for Scotland took another eerie pause. What is even more surprising is that Eisenhower moved the headquarters of the multinational force to Glasgow. In the eyes of others, this was, of course, in response to the aggressiveness of the Allied navies. But who knows, Edinburgh, which has been quiet a lot, is preparing to usher in its own new life, is preparing to become the focus of the world, and is preparing to change the world!

The first part of the "Hou Xi" plan, the North American landing operation, has basically achieved its strategic objectives.

The five million Grand Alliance troops were caught between the two sides, and the snow swept across the West Coast of the United States and the U.S.-Mexico border like a typhoon. MacArthur sadly discovered that in just three weeks, Phoenix, where his West Coast Theater Command was located, had become the front line of the confrontation between the two armies.

The more than 2 million square kilometers of land that the United States had seized from Mexico were suddenly occupied by the Allies. Imagine that the coastal defense lines of Los Angeles and San Francisco, which had been contested for a long time, were lost in less than a week.

The plan to massively deplete the enemy's forces along the coastline in order to force the Allies to retreat suddenly became ridiculous. The lack of war experience of American soldiers was infinitely magnified in battle. In many cases, no matter how much a soldier is trained, there needs to be a process of familiarization and maturity on the battlefield. Under the fierce three-dimensional offensive of the Allies, many American GIs became hesitant because of their inexperience, and finally lost their lives needlessly, which also made the West Coast defense line easily breached.

Important cities such as Oakland and Sacramento were lost one after another, and the Coastal Range and Sierra Nevada became the world of the Guards Mountain Division, and under the leadership of Indian guides, the 29th Guards Mountain Division won successive battles, and in less than a month, the 10,000-strong Mountain Division captured more than three times as many prisoners as its own soldiers. The Indian Brigade, which accompanied them, had to build a large prisoner camp in Salinas to house tens of thousands of American GIs.

On the southern front, the Allied forces advancing in Mexico, Nogares, and Juarez in Mexico also showed an unstoppable momentum, breaking through continuously. The Battle of Tucson of the Central Route Army alone surrounded six divisions of American troops.

Large swathes of California and New Mexico were liberated by the Allies and returned to Mexicans.

The whole of America is in decline. Although both the ruling Democratic Party and the opposition Republican Party are crying out for the American people to unite and resist aggression. However, all strata of the United States generally look down on this "kingship vs. freedom" war. The reason is nothing more than "The big alliance led by the Han Empire is too strong!" "The defeat of the United States in Africa and Europe has proven that the American army cannot compete with the Han army!" "The total economic volume of the Han Empire has already surpassed that of the United States to become the world's first, and in terms of war potential, the United States is far behind the Han State!"

The American Workers' Party wisely did not mention again that communism, which is not too popular in the United States, in this political offensive launched by them, but sang about the war, attacked the current American government, and instigated the discontent of the people.

Obviously, after some days of contact with the Han Emperor, Weber also learned the theory of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king". In the North American continent, when patriotism is spreading and the people are vying to be the first to serve as soldiers to defend their homeland and defend the country, any further struggle between communism/proprietorism/righteousness and capitalism will only make the people more disgusted. The Workers' Party's propaganda strategy chose to downplay the prospect of war, calling on the American people to choose another way to preserve their country when victory was not possible.

The Han Emperor completely instilled Wang Dameinan's set to "Uncle Sam".

"Why does it have to be war? It was the hateful plutocratic monopoly and hegemonism that brought the war to the United States. Why can't the U.S. cooperate with Han? Share the benefits brought by the great development of science and technology to mankind. 'The earth belongs to all the people who live under the sun!' Aren't Americans yearning for freedom and democracy? Who turned the freedom-loving and democracy-loving United States into a source of war? Who initiated the invasion of its neighbors and brought the flames of war for hegemony to the United States? Who was the revenge of the Han army for the massacre of the Indians? We need to recognize the mistakes we have made, and the American people should dare to face the mistakes they have made......"

In front of tens of thousands of Americans, Mexicans, and Indians in Trois-Rivières on the Rio Grande, Webb gave his famous speech titled "America Doesn't Need War." Well, quite quite famous.

Of course, whether it is notorious or "keeping Dan's heart and sweat", that is a matter of the benevolent and the wise. Anyway, at the speech scene, which was tightly controlled by the Mexican military police, applause and scolding rang out at the same time, and flowers and eggs flew together.

Subsequently, "Uncle Sam" flew to London, the capital of England on the island of Great Britain on the other side of the Atlantic, and met with Marshal Jiang Yunzhi, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Europe, at Cambridge Garden Castle, and then went to Edinburgh on the heavy cruiser Xingba of the Han Royal Navy.

At the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the royal palace of Scotland, the Grand Duke of Windsor has been waiting for a long time. Waiting next to the warm fireplace was another American officer, the commander of the U.S. 3rd Army, Lieutenant General Bradley.

As a classmate and close friend of Eisenhower's time at the Western Military Academy, it was not surprising that Lieutenant General Bradley would serve as the negotiator of the multinational force.

The content of the Edinburgh trio talks was also extremely confidential in later generations. However, when discussing the history of the North American continent, many scholars habitually refer to the Edinburgh Talks, whose content is unknown, as "a turning point in the history of the North American continent", and call it one of the three major historical events that changed the history of the United States, along with the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Because it was the Edinburgh talks that opened the prelude to another civil war in the United States.

In the eyes of many later Americans, this was more embarrassing than the North American continent being invaded and defeated by the Han army and returning to Mexican land. Even decades later, when the Democratic Republic of America and the Confederation of the United States were reunited, could not hide that shameful history.
