1806 Unprecedented isolation 1
"This is not the worst, do you know? Someone has already proposed the idea of stopping the war in the parliament. It is said that the Swiss brought the previous suggestions of the German Emperor. As long as the British Empire no longer interferes in the European continent and is willing to make some compromises on the colonial issue, the German Emperor is willing to stop the war, and many people in the parliament are very interested in this idea." Chamberlain said.
"This is no secret, it has been there before." General Heg said disapprovingly.
"But this time it's different! We discussed the situation of the empire with generals from the Army and Navy, but the conclusions we came to were very bad. Although the North Sea blockade line tried its best to reduce the supplies of the Germans, as the US fleet cruised in the waters near Europe on the grounds of protecting its own rights, our blockade line was destined to have some breaks. This is not a technical and military issue. If we can make it clear, it is that we must give Americans more than one strike to battleships!"
Chamberlain's words revealed helplessness! Because during this period, he and many British senior officials experienced the process of going from hell to heaven, and then from heaven to hell! If the British were worried that the Bavarian Legion would ring the death knell of the Western Front of the Battle of the Western Front and make the British feel like they lived a life of year, then, when there was a turmoil within Germany, they seemed to see the dawn of victory. When the news of the parliamentary faction occupied Berlin was passed to the British House of the Upper House, some old nobles were even in joy and praised St. George for once again protecting the great Britain.
But then I found that the Germans seemed to have enough energy. While fighting in the internal situation, they could also block the British and French allied forces' attacks. This was not the most worrying thing about the British. The most terrifying thing was that this time, the Americans actually had the tendency to play in person! The Americans expressed their tendencies to the entire Europe and even the world through multiple channels. The US Secretary of State even explicitly stated to the French ambassador to the United States in a public situation: "Americans will never look at their German friends' failure!"
The Americans never just said but did not do it. Then, the US government immediately issued a statement claiming that the British blockade policy was wrong! Because it targeted the German people rather than the German army! In line with humanitarian principles, the US government decided to provide material assistance to Germany. At the same time, American fleets began to frequently appear in the waters near Europe. Although there has been no incident of accidents between the two sides so far, various soft confrontations, and even bumper ship incidents have occurred several times!
Now the British are absolutely unable to start filming with the Americans while dealing with the allies. So, this time, some people in the British Parliament are really afraid! They are afraid that if the Americans can't sit still, it will be a situation where the Allies are completely defeated! So even Prime Minister Asquith is considering what to do if the United States directly joins the war team. After all, although both the United States and Britain speak English now, it is not an exaggeration to describe this plane as blood feud. In history, the British not only burned the American White House, but also helped the Japanese to beat the United States that wanted to rise in the Far East!
It has to be said that the British strategists of this era are still very skillful. After some analysis, the British believe that as long as the UK does "not too much" and considers "the face of the Americans", then the possibility of a direct military conflict between Britain and the United States is not too great.
First, the US Navy wanted to stay after the war to deal with the Japanese, so at this time, the Americans were subjectively unwilling to fight the British fleet. Secondly, the Americans had a very complicated attitude towards Germany. Although both sides were still friends, the Americans were not very welcome to the rise of Germany. If the Germans had not repeatedly promised not to enter the Far East, then the relationship between the US and Germany might have become normal now! Therefore, after understanding these issues, the British believed that they still had a chance to take a try.
"In other words, in fact, from the moment, the imperial government has no hope for completely solving the trouble of Germany?" General Heg asked. After Chamberlain told General Heg about the recent internal affairs of the British senior management, General Heg finally understood that in fact, the British were only a little stronger than the French... and were also considering the question of when to stop. However, in the eyes of the British, with an invincible large fleet and sea base air force, the British did not have to worry about the Germans holding military parades in London, so they could hold on, but the French had to consider what to do in their capital...
"Well, I'm now aware of my responsibilities and I will do my best, but I hope the imperial government can urge the Japanese, we need more troops and labor to make up for the lack of manpower." General Heg said after thinking for a while.
"This, since the main forces of the two divisions of the Japanese Army were completely wiped out in Asia Minor and the British Expeditionary Force, the Japanese government is no longer willing to send troops, even if we are willing to pay," Chamberlain said with some embarrassment.
"What kidding? The news I got is that the Japanese Army has expanded the numbers of at least ten divisions in the past year. Even if some divisions are short of organization, there are at least 150,000 people. This does not include the expansion of the Marine Corps, as well as the expansion of some existing standing divisions and the expansion of the reserve troops. They cannot lack troops." General Heg said in disbelief.
"They are indeed expanding their troops, not just the army, but also the navy and the air force, but their expansion is not to help us, but to get a piece of the fragmented Russians. At the same time, to resist the revenge of the Americans," Chamberlain said.
"Are the Japanese crazy? Faced with the heavy pressure of the US and German fleet, they actually want to get benefits from the Russians' bodies?" General Hege said he could not understand.
"On the contrary, the Japanese are very rational. In fact, after this war, the Germans did not want to make a big fight. They helped the Americans just fulfill their promises and helped the Americans get back the islands that Germany had previously transferred. As for completely killing Japan? The Germans don't have this idea, and we will not allow the Americans to do so. In this world, when you have more friends than enemies, you will definitely win. On the issue of Japan, the Germans are not enthusiastic. We and the French do not want to see the Americans dominate the Far East, so the Japanese cannot die." Chamberlain said.
