Chapter 1193: Fight to the End

Long Yufei has always been wary of the UK. As a world hegemon, Britain's heritage is very terrifying. The British were very rich from the wealth they had collected from the colonies over the centuries, and if they had used all of this wealth to arm their armies, they would have been able to quickly regain their strength even if they had suffered heavy losses in the war.

Coupled with the UK's industrial and technological strength, it is still at the forefront of the world. Therefore, there is only one way for the empire to completely solve this opponent. That is, with the help of this war, Britain will be completely destroyed, and all the industrial equipment in Britain will be dismantled or destroyed. Those talents in Britain are also taken away as much as possible. Of course, as the main culprit of the destruction of Britain, many of those British scientists and engineers will not be used by China. When necessary, the Empire will even take certain measures to get rid of these people, lest these people work for the enemies of the Empire.

"Your Majesty, the British are so insincere. However, if they were able to renew reasonable terms, they could consider making peace talks with the British. After all, the British armed too many troops on their homeland. If we want to destroy Britain, we will probably have to pay a big price. "Prime Minister Lin Zihao is a little worried, the British have armed an army of five million, which is indeed a lot of pressure on the empire. If too many Imperial troops were killed in the war to destroy Britain, it would also be a blow to the Empire.

"No, Britain has to perish. Even if millions of people die because of it, it's worth it! Long Yufei said firmly. With the current strength of the empire, it can fully withstand a million casualties.

"Your Majesty is relieved. To destroy Britain, it is not necessary to lose a million people in battle. Even if the British desperately resisted. We lost a maximum of 100,000 people. The British, though numerous, were a rabble. Face the elite units of the Imperial Army. They simply don't have the power to fight back! Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, said.

"Hmm!" Long Yufei nodded, if 100,000 people died and Britain was destroyed, the empire could fully bear it.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do with them after we destroy the British?" Lin Zihao asked. After all, even if Britain is destroyed, it will definitely not be able to kill all the British. The total population of the United Kingdom is more than 25 million.

"Britain's industrial base had to be destroyed, and the key was their shipyards. Whether it is equipment or talent, it must be destroyed as much as possible. In this case, the British Navy will have no chance of re-emerging and will not be used by our opponents. In addition, the UK must be divided into several parts. Scotland in the north and the island of Ireland in the west will be separated from England. Only England and Wales remained. In this case, Britain would be much less of a threat to us. Once all overseas colonies were lost, Ireland and Scotland were separated from Britain. So. Britain has no chance at all! Long Yufei said.

Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Foreign Minister Wei Yuan both nodded, in that case, Britain would indeed be abolished. The Empire no longer had to worry about Britain posing a threat to the Empire.

"The next battle is very important for us. It is imperative to destroy Britain completely. The General Staff and the Cabinet should coordinate well. Guaranteed attrition at the front. One qiē, all in order to defeat the British," Long Yufei said solemnly.

The British Cabinet received telegrams from Switzerland one step ahead of the Reich. Albeit. It was late at night. However, the British Prime Minister, Earl Stanley, convened the cabinet members to discuss the situation.

"Gentlemen. Now it seems that the road of peace talks will not work. The Chinese directly closed the door to peace talks. They are determined to destroy the British Empire once and for all! Earl Stanley's face was a little pale. The war reparations of 10 billion Chinese dollars proposed by the Chinese Empire were simply unaffordable for Britain. Of course, with the wealth that Britain has accumulated over hundreds of years, it may be able to afford it if it sells iron. But in that case, Britain would really be poor.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, since the Chinese do not want King Khan to hold peace talks with us, then we can only fight. The British Army was ready for battle. Once the Chinese land, we will definitely make them pay! Said the Marquis of Anglesey, Minister of War.

The Earl of Stanley nodded, but he did not believe the Marquis of Anglesey's words. Although, the total size of the British Army reached an unprecedented three million plus two million reserves. However, this already includes almost all adult men in the UK. Moreover, the training of these armies is not very good. Once sent to the battlefield, what kind of expression will there be, he really can't guarantee it!

It would undoubtedly be best if the Chinese Empire could accept Britain's request for peace talks. However, the conditions put forward by the Chinese directly cut off the possibility of them proceeding with the negotiations!

"Your Excellency the Marquis, is our army capable of defeating the Chinese who landed in Britain?" The Earl of Granville, the Foreign Secretary, asked.

"Your Excellency, if we want to completely defeat the Chinese, it is impossible. First of all, in the face of the blockade by the Chinese, our national strength is rapidly declining, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. However, in the early stages of the war, we can concentrate superior forces to defeat the Chinese. "The Marquis of Anglesey told the truth. After all, Britain is no longer even self-sufficient in food, and if the blockade of the Chinese navy continues, it will only weaken Britain's combat strength.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, although, the Chinese do not want to have peace talks with us. However, I think that if our army can inflict a lot of casualties on the Chinese after the battle begins, perhaps the Chinese will agree to negotiate with us. In this way, we can take the opportunity to lower the conditions of the Chinese. After all, Britain would not have had a chance to win if the war had dragged on. Even if we can win the war in the early stage, as the war continues, we will not be able to sustain the war because of the heavy losses. Said the Earl of Granville.

"However, the appetite of the Chinese is very large. This time, everyone can see the conditions they proposed, a full 10 billion Chinese dollars! Converted to pounds, that's two and a half billion pounds. Earl Stanley said.

"But, Your Excellency, there is no other way! Fight to the end, and Britain will inevitably perish. It was only by means of some victories that war could be used to promote peace, so that Britain could continue to exist. The Earl of Granville insisted.

Count Stanley looked at the others and asked for their opinions.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary's words are very reasonable. The Chinese are already about to win, and even if we persist, we can't change the final result. It would be in our best interest if we could end the war on less harsh terms! "Chancellor of the Exchequer Benjamin. Disraeli was the first to speak.

"Your Excellency, I agree." Secretary of the Navy Charles. Sir Adam also expressed his opinion.

"Your Excellency, Marquis? What do you think? Earl Stanley continued.

"Your Excellency, if the conditions of the Chinese are not too harsh, you can consider accepting them!" However, if the Chinese still refuse to negotiate peace with us at that time, or if their conditions are still very harsh, then we will have to fight to the death! Said the Marquis of Anglesey, Minister of War.

"Well, the army will try to defeat the Chinese when they land, inflicting unimaginable damage on the Chinese." When the time comes, take the opportunity to hold peace talks with the Chinese! Strive to end the war on the strongest terms for Britain. Earl Stanley said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Both the Marquis of Anglesey and the Earl of Granville nodded.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we may be able to think of other ways!" The Earl of Granville continued.

"What's the solution?" The Earl of Stanley was now in a state of flux, and he was willing to do whatever was in favor of England.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is foreseeable that the future world will be dominated by the Asia-Europe military alliance. In the Eurasian military alliance, in addition to the Chinese Empire, there are other powerful countries. The Kingdom of Prussia, in particular, was second only to the Chinese Empire. With the help of this war, the Kingdom of Prussia not only unified Germany, but also continued to expand into Eastern and Western Europe. An incomparably powerful German empire was about to emerge in Europe. And the relationship between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire in the future will certainly not be too harmonious. The German Empire will have the ability to challenge the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire will inevitably suppress the German Empire. In Europe, the influence of the German Empire will inevitably be greater than that of the Chinese Empire, thousands of miles away! Said the Earl of Granville.

"You mean, we approached the Prussians to enlist their support?" Earl Stanley asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The confrontation between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire in the future, that was inevitable. In contrast, the Chinese Empire was a little stronger, while the German Empire was at a disadvantage. Especially in terms of navy, the German Empire could not be compared with the Chinese Empire at all. The British Empire, on the other hand, could cooperate with the German Empire in this regard. The Chinese Empire will certainly not allow the British Empire to have a strong navy, and we can only complete the revenge with the German Empire, and let the current Kingdom of Prussia support us! "The Earl of Granville threw out his plan. (To be continued......)
