Chapter 995: Future Plans

"If the war ends like this, then in the future Germany will have access to the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. In the Atlantic, they will be based on Spain, and in the Indian Ocean direction, the Persian Gulf will become the best base for the German high seas fleet. At the same time, the newly formed Russia would also exist as a vassal of Germany. The Allied bloc will fully stretch their bodies, and they will reach the pinnacle of power. But at the same time, it will also be in a state of hostility with the whole world. When Churchill said this, Lloyd George was shocked, and he couldn't figure out why.

"The Americans did not try their best in this war, when Germany wanted to fight on two fronts, the Americans chose to stand on the sidelines, and when Germany defeated Tsarist Russia and transferred its forces to the western front, the United States hurriedly entered the war, and at this time, we were exhausted. And the United States overestimated its own power, they were not capable of defeating the Germans and their allies alone, and when Germany included most of Europe in its sphere of influence, the United States had to think about its own safety, and the Atlantic Ocean was not so wide. And the United States, which could only rely on the Panama Canal to communicate the two shores, had to consider the German threat, especially the threat of the dreaded High Seas Fleet after gaining Spanish ports. If Germany was only a possible threat to the United States before, then Germany will become a real threat to the United States later, and more importantly, Germany has this meaning, and their activities in Latin America have already made the United States seriously dissatisfied! "Churchill wasn't nervous about being prime minister.

"You mean, after the war. Will the United States regard Germany as its worst enemy? So why not Huaxia? Lloyd George thought for a moment and said. Geographically, China is more like a sea power country than Germany, and sea power countries have always expanded outward. This is true in Spain and Portugal. This is the case in France, and the same is true in Britain, and there is no reason why China should not expand outward. ”

"But the Pacific has been divided! Hawaii is permanently neutral, and both China and the United States lack a transit base to support their attacks. The United States has been driven out of the Far East. Not even a foothold remained, of course, if the British Empire could offer Australia, it would give the Americans a chance, but would you do that? Churchill asked rhetorically.

"Huh." Lloyd George smiled but didn't say a word. A qiē is all in the words. Britain, of course, will not become a stepping stone for the expansion of the Americans into the Far East, and things on the European side are not even, so how can there be time to take care of the Far East? What's more, China's development prospects are stronger than Germany's. He has a larger population. More land. Although the newly incorporated Siberia is inaccessible, it is still a vast area. If the Germans picked up a peach in this war, then Huaxia is equivalent to picking up a watermelon.

And unlike the Germans, the leader in China knew where his limits were. After acquiring the original colony of the German Far East. He did not make any moves to continue eastward. They did not take advantage of the war in Europe to march on Australia. The other side meant to leave Australia as a buffer. Of course, you can quite say that Huaxia was unable to carve up Russia, but in reality, for Huaxia he was far from reaching the limit of his strength. Churchill changed his mind.

"China's next target is the Middle East, which is now Ottoman Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula. Although I don't know why the Chinese leader cares so much about this place, in fact, apart from Siberia, this direction is the place where China has invested the most power. Even the aid to Germany was offered in exchange for the right to exploit oil in the Mesopotamian plain. Churchill said, pointing to a corner of the map.

"But there is no shortage of oil in China. Especially after the acquisition of the oil fields of the Dutch East Indies, and from the point of view of now. Oil production in the Middle East is not high. From an economic point of view, this is a very irrational choice. And more importantly, the Middle East was now the sphere of influence of the Germans. If there are resources here that are worth competing for, it will inevitably lead to an all-round intensification of contradictions! Lloyd George finally understood what Churchill meant, China was already in the Middle East, although in the special circumstances of World War I, the Germans agreed to China's demands, but after the war, when Germany eased up, who knows if the Kaiser will be treacherous? And in this way, the conflict between Germany and China will be inevitable! Coupled with the pressure on Germany from the United States in the Atlantic, it seems that if Germany miscalculates strategically, it will indeed be an enemy of the world.

"So it seems to you that even if the war is over. Wouldn't the external environment of the British Empire deteriorate even more, while Germany was in danger of falling out with its allies in the Far East? That's a good idea, but even that doesn't mean the British Empire will rest easy. "Lloyd George is not optimistic about reality. China has not yet clashed with Germany, and the United States is separated by an Atlantic after all, and whether it will do its best to support Britain, Lloyd George has no bottom at all!

"Germany's entry into the Middle East has been a long-standing strategy, and after the war, it is likely that they will expand their sphere of influence in the direction of Iran and India. In the future, we may have to compete with Germany in India. It will be more difficult for us until an external force intervenes. However, even if China does not say it, the United States will already have all actions, whether it is in terms of funds or materials, there will be some indications. Churchill was worried about the British Empire's most prized colony.

"It seems that an armistice is not a good idea, but it is the only way out now, the British Empire needs to regroup its forces to meet more serious challenges, and maybe in a dozen years, you will be sitting in my current position and separating the Germans." Lloyd George said helplessly.

While the British were considering the armistice and the future layout, the German ambassador to China had already expressed to Xu Jie the hope that China would mediate the war between the Entente and the Central Powers. On this issue, there are also endless debates within China, many people think that there is no need for West China to meddle in this matter, and Europe is willing to fight the sky upside down, what do we care? It's better to make good money. Others were worried that if the Allies were defeated, the Entente bloc would turn the finger at China, which had always been inclined to the Germans during the war. If only there was a truce at this time. Germany can continue to contain the power of Britain, France and the United States, so that they cannot do anything to China. Huaxia can still be left and right.

The first type of person thinks very practically, but has great limitations, and in the end they only focus on money. The second type of people have a higher level of thinking, at least knowing that leaving Germany to continue to contain the Entente is a bit of vision, but it is not enough. The real level is the third type of people, well, this kind of person is only a few people such as Xu Jie, and their ideas are more far-reaching, that is, how to make the Central Powers led by Germany continue to fight to the death with the Entente led by Britain and the United States through various operations!

An armistice is necessary, but it will not solve the problem of a qiē, but will leave all kinds of contradictions. So that at some point in the future, the two major military blocs will fight again! At the same time, it is necessary to balance the strength of both sides, Germany has won in this war, so in order to prevent Britain and France from collapsing at the touch of a button when they do it again in the future, it is necessary to avoid the weakness of Britain and France as much as possible. At the same time, Huaxia cannot mediate for the two major military blocs in vain, and at least collect some "benefit fees." And this benefit Fei Huaxia had already thought of, that is, the Central Powers and the Entente Powers had to recognize the legitimacy of Huaxia's acquisition of land from Russia, and at the same time obtain some benefits in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East. Xu Jie believes that even if Germany expands in the Middle East, it cannot include the entire Arabian Peninsula or even Iran into its sphere of influence. Otherwise, when the oil in the Middle East is exploited in large quantities, won't Germany become the US imperialist of its own plane?

Although the discovery of a large amount of oil in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula in the 60s is really in the 60s, who knows what the drilling process will develop in the next few decades? It is always good to be prepared first. Judging from a certain Cheng dù, Xu Jie is already very satisfied with the world situation in this plane. China occupies most of North Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, and its territory has surpassed that of the country that claims to be the empire on which the sun never sets. If done right, Europe will remain a two-power situation after the war. And the United States, despite its great power, is still confined to the Americas, not even Hawaii, the Philippines, and Cuba, and the thought of having cast a shadow on the superpower in the previous plane gives rise to a sense of pride. And thinking that the country in the north of China that once cut off more than 3 million square kilometers of land from China has completely turned into a second-rate country in Europe, Xu Jie is not only proud, but also a considerable sense of achievement! Even wakes up laughing when dreaming!

It's time for this war to stop, and it's in our interest that anyone in Britain, France, Germany, and Austria falls, and at the same time we have to let the Americans do a lot of hard work in vain. There is no benefit to be gained from fighting, I think anyone will be very unhappy, although the United States is sad enough on this plane, but Xu Jie thinks that the United States should be made more sad. The Americans tried their best to pick up the bargain, but it turned out that they were a little late, and they only went up when their allies couldn't hold on, and when they wanted to fight, their allies didn't want to fight. This is probably one of the saddest things in the world. What does the United States have to gain from this war? In addition to the huge casualties and attrition, I'm afraid it's some combat experience, right? I'm afraid that the hegemony he wants to gain will be lost, after all, Germany has not fallen in this plane. When the time comes, even across the Atlantic, the United States will not relax, right? And his own plane, William II, should be even more unscrupulous now, right?
