"From the current situation, it seems that our Hungarian allies will find it difficult to cause a heavy blow to Austria." Prime Minister Asquis said helplessly.

If it was a complete Hungary, it would naturally bring a heavy blow to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But now, Hungary is already divided, Slovakia in the north has gradually been taken over by Vienna, and the Croatia region in the southwest is also rapidly approaching the center. Transylvania in the southeast, the gathering place of Romanians, has become a mess. Now half of the places that the Hungarians can control! And in this half of the area, there are still many internal disputes... Just this piece of material, can you expect how high the combat effectiveness it has?

"If we can cooperate with the Count Obernie of the Independent Democratic Party when necessary, some old antiques will let them enter the garbage dump of history. No matter what, in this winter, an incident that can shake the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire will be broken, whether it is independence or regime change! By the way, there are also distant relatives of the unsuccessful Habsburg family, and Grand Duke Karl can also use it. Isn't he a fairly king? Didn't the Hungarian nobles want a king? I think the cooperation between them is very good." Prime Minister Asquith said meaningfully.

"By the way, how did our operations in the Arabian Peninsula go? I remember that this was led by a colonel named Thomas Edward Lawrence?" Prime Minister Asquis asked.

"It's not good. Colonel Lawrence convinced Hussein Ibn Ali to launch an uprising against Turkey. It started very smoothly, but later, in order to fight the Asian Minor battle, the military recruited some Arab soldiers into the British army, which led to the weakness of the rebel army. You know, there were already a large place and sparsely populated areas, so the result is now very bad." Lloyd George said embarrassingly.

"Okay, this is really not good news." Asquith said, but he didn't take this matter seriously. In the eyes of the British, this is just a step of chess. It is good to be successful, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

The inertia of history is huge. On this plane, a great Arab national uprising broke out. The person who led the uprising was still Hussein Ibn Ali, a person who was directly related to the founder of the *** religion, brought great harm to Turkey in history. The Allied Powers recognized Hussein's kingship and national independence as the condition that these Arabs fought for the Allied Powers. Then after the war, Britain and France decisively broke the contract and divided the lost lands of Turkey. The so-called national independence also became a bubble.

But unlike in history, the Arab uprising on this plane was very failed and did not cause much harm to Turkey. Of course, for the British, this was just a small matter. Although it was a bit regretful, it did not hinder the overall situation.

When the frontal battlefield cannot gain an advantage, the British will gradually accumulate advantages from other corner battlefields, thereby accumulating a small victory into a big victory, which will eventually change the entire battle situation and even use scraps. Then the British are also very concerned about Japan, the fourth largest ally among the Allies.

"How much cannon fodder and labor can the Japanese provide us next year?" Asquith asked.

"The Japanese are very cunning. Their combat quality in Europe and Asia Minor is much lower than before. In the new year, they have refused to provide more troops and are only willing to provide labor. Of course, they have put this responsibility on the Americans. The Panama Canal does not allow ships carrying armed personnel and weapons to pass. This is actually restricting Japan from sending troops and equipment to us through the Pacific Ocean. In short, it is actually difficult to make Japan play a greater role." Lloyd George said.

"Haha, do they still want to survive after the war? Soon, we can get everything we lost from the Japanese!" Asquis snorted. In the eyes of the British Prime Minister, even if the situation is bad, even if France is over, relying on the English Channel and the large fleet, the British can at least have the opportunity to negotiate with the Germans, but Japan? After the war, what ability can Japan face the pressure of the two superpowers of the United States and Germany? At that time, Britain can make money back sooner or later!

"Then buy it with money! In short, if nothing unexpected happens, this war will always end next year. Even if the troops cannot be increased, we must at least keep the number of Japanese workers in Europe above 300,000. The French manpower has been overdrawn, and this investment is necessary." Asquith said.

"By the way, how is our route on the Indian Ocean? Asquis suddenly turned his head and asked Churchill. Recently, I haven't heard of any major events in the Indian Ocean.

"Since the Americans decided to close the Panama Canal to us, a considerable number of military supplies have been traveling from the Indian Ocean, but we circled a big circle and operated outside the range of activities of the two German battleships. In the last battle, although the two German fast battleships killed two Japanese warships, they seemed to have suffered a lot of damage, so there has been no movement." Churchill said.

"Is that so? It seems that this is the only good news recently." A smile appeared on Asquith's face.

"No, absolutely impossible, this is not normal." Churchill said flatly.

Churchill now understands it. How is the "Two Wolves of Indian Ocean" that had been very active before, now quietly like the "Two Hahas of Indian Ocean"? This is not normal! You know, Thomas took the British Empire's most powerful squadron up and didn't get the other party. Not long ago, Su Xiong and Earl Spey bit the Japanese. Even though the ship was needed to be repaired a few months ago, what about now? It should have been repaired long ago, right? Then why didn't you come out and let go?

Churchill felt that he was a little persecuted and paranoid. If the German fleet caused trouble, he might be more at ease, but if he didn't cause trouble, Churchill wouldn't sleep well and always doubt whether the Germans had any major conspiracy!

If the leader cannot sleep well, the people below will not sleep well. They need to collect more information and then try to find the German "conspiracy" from the "clues". Whether it is true or false, they always have to look for it! Then write a report and submit it. Isn't the bureaucrats like this? According to the leader's wishes, there has never been any change in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad!

However, what is unexpected is that this time, Churchill guessed it a little right!
