"When George from the moment he returned from the United States, he decided that we would continue to be hostile to the United States for some time to come, because we rejected the Americans' request. When we were at our weakest, we all said no to the Americans, which would be equivalent to dispel the last slightest fantasy of the British Empire, at least in the next few years. We and the Americans have returned to a state of hostility before the war. This state will not change fundamentally because of some minor problems between the United States and Germany!" Asquith said.

"A few hundred million pounds of orders? Are you kidding?" Earl Belford said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"This is no joke. Just before coming to Germany, the Japanese government submitted a 200 million pound order contract to the empire, including a large number of supplies including machinery, various minerals, rubber, crops, and weapons. The payment conditions of the Japanese were very good. I could not refuse from a purely economic point of view. Now our trade with Japan has begun, not only normal trade but also military trade!" The words of Prime Minister Asquith surprised Earl Belfort.

"This is impossible! The British Empire's military power is basically concentrated in Europe, and more than 70% of it has been destroyed! How can we have excess military assets to sell to the Japanese? We are still blocked, so we can choose what we want to send out!" Earl Belford said in surprise.

"Haha, although the British Empire has suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, even if there are some broken and knocked things left, the total amount is still considerable! And these things are outside the control of the Germans! For example, our base in Singapore, there are hundreds of various artillery, hundreds of mines and torpedoes, as well as various communication facilities, aviation equipment and army equipment! And our aircraft engine manufacturer in Canada is actually providing aircraft engines to the Japanese. This may be one of the important reasons why the Americans asked Canada to separate from the empire. As for various minerals and agricultural products, let alone various." Lloyd George said.

As the highest commander of British military production during the war, Lloyd George naturally knew the military production of the British Empire. In fact, because the blockade of German submarines on the British mainland was getting worse, Lloyd George had already dispersed the British military production more than a year ago. For example, Canada will use a better industrial foundation to produce aircraft engines. A well-produced aircraft engine can be fully transported to the UK by high-speed cruise ships. The probability of being ambushed by submarines during this process is very small, and Canada's resources and manpower can be fully utilized. Now that the UK is defeated and the aircraft cannot be used, the spare aircraft engine production capacity can naturally be used in other aspects... For example, export to Japan!

To be honest, the British are really short of money and crazy now. Even if the Germans don’t make this hole, the British will try every means to do business with the Japanese! And the current situation is basically that as long as the Japanese want to buy and the price is reasonable, the British will sell it! The British understand this, the Germans understand, and the Americans understand it too! Even Asquis doubted whether the aircraft engines produced in Canada and precision instruments were exported to Japan, which led to the Americans wanting to separate Canada from the UK......

There are many things that you know will lead to bad consequences, and it is easy to be willing to do, because if you don’t do it, it will lead to more serious consequences! What will happen if the British really cut off all economic and trade ties with the Japanese? The British lost a large number of orders and even financial bankruptcy is light! It is very likely that the British colonial system in the Far East will collapse!

This is definitely not an exaggeration! Allies are birds of the same life, but when the disaster comes, they fly away! To a certain extent, even if allies use each other, they even cheat each other! Belfort thinks very well. For his own interests and in order to reconcile with the United States, the United Kingdom can throw the Japanese aside! Then sorry, the Japanese are not good men and women! If you can do the first day of the lunar month, they can do the fifteenth!

For Japan, the basis for maintaining the British-Japanese alliance now is that Britain can help Japan fight against the United States! Well, if the British cannot help Japan fight against the United States, what will Japan do in the face of an unprecedentedly weak Britain? When it is about to fight a war with the United States that concerns the destiny of the country, Japan will definitely attack the British colonial area! If nothing else, at least you can grab one first! And why should Britain stop the Japanese at this time?

Once the Japanese really take action, India and Southeast Asia, which have long been dissatisfied with British rule, will definitely have a series of chain reactions! What will this lead to? For Britain, which is unable to suppress it, it will naturally lead to the collapse of the colonial system. If the British lose Southeast Asia and South Asia after losing Africa, then the British Empire will really return to hundreds of years ago overnight and become a pure island country. Even Australia and Canada will change their courses! After all, the British Empire is useless, and it is better to find a new master for the two dominions!

So, now we can fundamentally destroy Britain, and there are not only Germany and the United States, but also Japan. When the latter is just possible, but it is just this possibility that the British must continue to bite the bullet and do business with the Japanese!

As for if Britain is forced to fail, can Britain jump and stand on the side of the Americans? How can I say this? Americans may accept Britain as their younger brother, but they will never return the previous interests to Britain! Because the United States does not need a Britain with potential to become a superpower. From a pragmatic perspective, Britain's military power has not been big in a country of the United States and Germany for a considerable period of time after the war! The Americans do not need to fall out with the Germans for this insignificant ally! There is no need to pay too much price! This is the sad reality of Britain at present!

Therefore, from the current situation, even though the UK is really unwilling to continue to maintain relations with Japan, it still has to do business with the Japanese in order to repay the war reparations. The Japanese also have enough means to force the British to continue to maintain the British-Japanese alliance. In order to prevent Japan from going wild, Britain must maintain good relations with Japan! As the British's biggest enemy, Germany, I also hope that the British-Japanese relations can be maintained, thereby blocking the approach of the United States and Britain and consuming the Americans.
