To Arthur's annoyance, even though he had come to London in person by this time, he could not find a British senior executive to negotiate with and make a definite plan.

As was customary, Arthur was supposed to go to the current king of England.

However, after the death of George V, Crown Prince Edward succeeded to the throne as Edward VIII. Do you want to negotiate with Edward VIII how to unite France against Germany? This is a bit too unrealistic.

Why? Immediately after succeeding to the throne as King of England, King Edward VIII arranged for the Simpsons to divorce and proposed to the cabinet a plan to marry Mrs. Simpson.

It is clear that the British government would not have agreed to such an absurd proposal.

This also brought the relationship between Edward VIII and the cabinet government to a freezing point, and even triggered a constitutional crisis in Britain.

If it weren't for George V's funeral to temporarily alleviate the contradictions between the two sides, I am afraid that the news of the discord between the British kings would have spread to all corners of the world.

March 9, 1936, after the funeral of King George V.

Arthur met with the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Baldwin, and had a long exchange with Prime Minister Baldwin about the good relations between the United Kingdom and Australasia.

During the meeting, Arthur also mentioned the current performance of the Germans. The Germans were too horrible in the German war, and their war potential was far greater than that of the French.

It stands to reason that both Britain and France should unite to prevent further German expansion in Europe.

Even, if the Germans continued to expand their army and make no secret of their ambitions, Arthur said that Britain, France and Australia should take the initiative to strangle the German threat in the cradle as soon as possible.

As Arthur expected, Prime Minister Baldwin was vague about Arthur's proposal.

Although he served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom many times, Prime Minister Baldwin's reputation in later generations was not so good. As one of the moderate prime ministers, it is precisely because of the appeasement policy of many British prime ministers, including Prime Minister Baldwin, towards Germany that Germany has come step by step to the point where it is today.

Had the British government been active in halting German expansion from the outset, Germany would not have become the powerful country it is today.

But then again, moderation and pacifism are the main currents in politics today. Nor is appeasement the responsibility of the British, and even France, which is very hostile to the Germans, is not pursuing a policy of appeasement?

But for the current situation in Europe, a moderate prime minister is no longer clearly suitable for the UK.

Like the current King Edward VIII, their presence will only be a drag on the British Empire.

Arthur, who was disappointed, gave up on uniting the current British government, instead of setting his sights on the next British king, George VI.

George VI, now known as Duke Albert, was more suitable as king than his older brother, Edward VIII.

At the Duke Albert's bedchamber, Arthur met the king who led the LinkedIn people to victory in World War II.

"Your Majesty Arthur, long time no see." Duke Albert saluted Arthur with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Bertie (George VI's nickname)." Arthur nodded with a smile on his face, smiling at Duke Albert.

"Bertie, what do you think about your brother marrying Mrs. Simpson?" Arthur asked straight to the point.

Duke Albert didn't expect Arthur to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment, and then said tentatively: "Marrying a woman who is not qualified to be a queen as a wife is a blow to the prestige of the British royal family." ”

Arthur nodded and said very bluntly, "To be honest, your father and I once made an agreement on the succession to the British throne.

If Brother Ling behaves well after succeeding to the throne, it will naturally be better. But if it causes a crisis on the British throne, for the sake of good relations between Australasia and Great Britain, for the survival of the monarchy, for the sake of the British royal family, I think it is necessary for Edward to understand what he is doing. ”

If history goes by the way, even if Prime Minister Baldwin ends his term, the next Prime Minister will be Neville Chamberlain, a guy who is also engaged in appeasement.

Chamberlain's premiership lasted until 1940, and would the war drag on beyond 1940? Apparently impossible.

This also means that before the outbreak of war, the British government must abandon its previous moderate thinking and become a pro-war faction.

It is very suitable for the main war faction in Britain now, and it is naturally the famous Churchill. But for Churchill to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he had to have the support of the King of England.

After careful consideration, Arthur intended to help George VI ascend to the throne while avoiding a constitutional crisis for the British royal family as much as possible.

If something goes wrong with the British, Germany would take advantage of this opportunity to start a war, which would be a catastrophe for all the countries of Europe.

Arthur and Duke Albert had a conversation that lasted for several hours, but no one knew what was going on.

At the end of this conversation, Arthur met with the famous Churchill to refine his plans in Britain.

"Mr. Churchill, what do you think of the current situation in Europe?" Arthur smiled, as if chatting normally, and asked Churchill without the slightest care.

Churchill was stunned for a moment, not understanding whether Arthur was just an ordinary chat or a deeper temptation, so he could only follow his heart and say, "Very bad, Your Majesty." ”

"Oh? Can you tell us what you think? Arthur asked, smiling, as if interested.

"I've criticized the weakness of the government before. I believe that only a tough stance against Germany and Italy will stop their expansion in Europe and beyond.

Otherwise, by the time a more powerful Germany emerges, Britain is likely to pay much more to defeat him than it does now. Churchill said as he expressed his dissatisfaction with the government and regret for the situation.

Arthur nodded, still satisfied in his heart.

Churchill is still the same Churchill, and making him Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is good for both Britain and Australasia.

"Mr. Churchill, do you want to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?" Arthur asked bluntly.

"Why me? Your Majesty. Churchill was not excited, but looked at Arthur very calmly and asked.

"As you say, what Britain needs at this time is a ruler who can see the situation clearly and can face Germany and Italy with a tough attitude. I think you're such a guy. This is good not only for the UK, but also for Australasia. Arthur said with a smile.

Churchill nodded, not surprised by Arthur's statement.

The choice of the British prime minister is also very important for Australasia.

The two countries are close allies, and the attitude of the British Prime Minister determines the attitude of the British government, and the attitude of the British government determines the situation in Europe.

Germany had an alliance with the island nation, and Australasia certainly didn't want to see the Germans getting stronger.

This also means that Churchill and Arthur are on the same page in their views of the Germans, which is why Arthur wants Churchill to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

"What should I do? Your Majesty. Churchill asked with a serious face.

He doesn't pretend either, he really wants to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The reason is not the desire for the prime ministership, but the love for Britain and the fear of Germany.

Churchill confidently believed that if he became the prime minister of Britain, he could contain Germany's development as much as possible, and even go to war with Germany.

At present, there is still a power gap between the British Empire and Germany. With the help of France, Austria and Australasia, the British Empire would have won the war as it had done in the last European war, and would have solved Germany's heart-wrenching problem once and for all.

"Try to be active in politics and promote your political ideas." Arthur smiled and said, "The sky in Britain is about to change, and your idea will come true soon." ”

Even if Edward VIII had not abdicated, Arthur would have had a way to put Churchill on the throne as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Arthur controlled a considerable part of the British newspapers and media, and the offensive of public opinion was enough to change the minds of the British people.

What's more, the current Germany does blatantly expose its ambitions.

It stands to reason that after the end of the German-Polish War, the Germans should have dismantled their mobilized troops.

But on the contrary, more than a month has passed since the end of the war, and the Germans have not only not reduced their army, but have expanded the size of the army to about 1.2 million.

What are the Germans trying to do?

All indications are already that they still want to start a war, to start a super-war.

If Britain, France and Australia do not unite at this time, it will be too late for the Germans to take the initiative to provoke a big war.

Arthur was reluctant to invest millions of troops to defeat the Germans, and the war in Europe should be resolved by the Europeans, and Australasia only needed to concentrate on the island nation as an enemy.

Of course, the appropriate input of cannon fodder to help Britain, France and Austria stabilize the situation is also what Arthur must do.

The best outcome was that Britain, France and Germany consumed each other, and in the end all European countries lost a lot, and only Australasia benefited.

The first step in achieving such a good outcome is to turn the current British government into a belligerent, and then to influence the position of the French.

After the end of the talks with Churchill, Arthur can be regarded as fulfilling his purpose in Britain in disguise.

Accompanied by Prince Albert, Arthur boarded a plane leaving London and began his journey back to Australasia.

On the way back, Arthur decided to visit the Persian Gulf Territory, inspect the garrisons stationed in the Persian Gulf Territory, inspect the oil fields and oil field extraction equipment in the Persian Gulf region, and make minor repairs in the Persian Gulf before taking a flight back to Fort St. Arthur.
