Chapter 1806 Unprecedented Isolation 1

"This is not the worst, you know? Someone in the Parliament has already proposed the idea of ​​stopping the war. It is said that the Swiss brought the Kaiser's previous suggestions, as long as the British Empire no longer interferes in the affairs of the European continent and is willing to If there is some compromise on the issue, then the Kaiser is willing to stop the war, and many people in Parliament are very interested in this idea." Chamberlain said.

"This is not a secret, it has been there before." General Haig said disapprovingly.

"But this time is different! We discussed the situation of the empire with the army and navy generals, but the conclusion we came to was very bad. Although the North Sea blockade tried its best to reduce the German material supplies, as the American fleet continued to When we cruise in the waters near Europe on the grounds of protecting our own rights and interests, our blockade is bound to have some gaps. This is not a technical or military issue. If we make it clearer, it is that we must give the Americans more than a dozen The battleship is a face!"

There was helplessness in Chamberlain's words! Because, during this period of time, he and many British senior officials experienced the process of going from hell to heaven, and then from heaven to hell again! If before, the British were worried that the arrival of the Bavarian Army on the Western Front would sound the death knell of the Western Front Land War and make the British feel like their lives were like a year, then later, when there was turmoil within Germany, they seemed to see the dawn of victory. When the news that the parliamentarians had occupied Berlin reached the British House of Lords, some elderly nobles even cried with joy. Praise be to St. George for once again sheltering great Britain.

But then it was discovered that the Germans seemed to have enough energy. While they were fighting among themselves, they could also block the successive attacks by the British and French forces. And this was not what worried the British the most. The most terrifying thing was that this time, the Americans actually There is a tendency to play in person! Americans have expressed their preferences to the entire Europe and even the world through multiple channels. The U.S. Secretary of State even openly stated to the French Ambassador to the United States in a public occasion: "Americans will never watch their German friends fail!"

Americans never just talk and don’t do anything. Then, the US government immediately issued a statement claiming that the British blockade policy was wrong! Because he is targeting the German people and not the German army! Based on humanitarian principles, the U.S. 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 shooting incident between the two sides so far, there have been various soft confrontations, and even bumper boat incidents have occurred several times!

Now the British absolutely cannot deal with the Americans while dealing with the Allies. Therefore, this time, some people in the British Parliament are really afraid! They were afraid that if the Americans could no longer sit still, it would be a complete defeat for the Allied Powers! So much so that even Prime Minister Asquith is considering what to do if the United States directly joins the war group and Britain. After all, even though both the United States and Britain speak English now, it is not an exaggeration to describe this dimension as blood feud. Historically, the British not only burned down the American White House, but also helped the Japanese in the Far East to defeat the United States, which wanted to rise!

I have to say that the British strategists of this era were still very capable. After some analysis, the British believed that as long as the British did "not too much", they would consider "American face". Then the possibility of a direct military conflict between Britain and the United States is not too great.

First of all, the U.S. Navy will stay after the war to deal with the Japanese, so at this time, the Americans are still subjectively unwilling to fight to the death with the British fleet. Secondly, Americans have a very complicated attitude towards Germany. Although the two sides are still friends, the Americans do not very welcome the rise of Germany. If the Germans had not repeatedly promised not to enter the Far East, the Americans would not have entered the Far East.

Then virtue relations may now be back to normal! Therefore, after thinking about these problems, the British believed that they still had a chance to give it a try.

"In other words, in fact, from the current point of view, the imperial government has no hope of completely solving Germany's troubles?" General Haig asked. After Chamberlain described to General Haig the recent events within the British leadership, General Haig finally understood that, in fact, the British were only slightly better than the French... I am also considering when to stop. But in the eyes of the British, with the invincible Grand Fleet and sea-based aviation, the British don't have to worry about the Germans holding a military parade in London, so they can still hold on, but the French have to consider what to do with their capital. .....

"Okay, I have realized my responsibilities now, 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 Haig thought for a while. said.

"Well, since the two main divisions of the Japanese Army were wiped out together with the British Expeditionary Force in Asia Minor, the Japanese government is no longer willing to send troops, even if we are willing to pay." Chamberlain said with some embarrassment.

"Are you kidding? The news I got is that the Japanese Army has expanded the number of at least ten divisions in the past year. Even considering that some divisions are short of personnel, there are at least more than 150,000 people. This Not including the expansion of the Marine Corps, some of the original standing divisions, and the expansion of the reserve forces, it is impossible for them to lack troops." General Haig said with some disbelief.

"They are indeed expanding their army, not just the army, but also the navy and air force. But the purpose of their expansion is not to help us, but to get a share of the fragmented Russians. At the same time, it is also to defend against the Americans. revenge," Chamberlain said.

"Are the Japanese crazy? Faced with the heavy pressure of the German and German fleets, they actually want to benefit from the corpses of Russians?" General Haig said he could not understand.

"On the contrary, the Japanese are very rational. In fact, after this war, the Germans did not want to go to war anymore. They only helped the Americans to fulfill their commitments and helped the Americans take back the islands that Germany had ceded before. As for the Kill Japan completely? The Germans have no such idea, and we will not allow the Americans to do this. In this world, when you have more friends than enemies, you will win, and on the Japanese issue, The Germans are not enthusiastic, and we and the French do not want to see the Americans dominate the Far East, so the Japanese cannot die," Chamberlain said.
