Chapter 2085 All Thoughts Are Lost One

"His Royal Highness, the Port of Calais is already in our hands." That night, Little Maoqi reported to Ruprecht.

"Very well, I will leave the rest to you," said the Crown Prince.

"Then are you going to the navy?" Little Moqi asked.

"Maybe we won't go to the port of Kiel immediately, but it's time for the navy to play. By now, the British have no choice. Therefore, the next game between the two sides will be in the English Channel." Ruprecht said.

The so-called joy and sorrow of some families, when the Germans rejoiced that they had finally plunged into the encirclement net of the British army, Marshal Haig was struggling like a fish caught in a net! He knew very well that when the German boots entered the port of Calais, at least half of the British expeditionary force could not go back, because the transportation capacity of the port of Dunkirk was simply not enough to support the retreat of the British army!

"Your Excellency, we have failed." Marshal Haig's trembling voice appeared in the microphone.

"I know that Calais has fallen," said Prime Minister Asquith.

"The commanders of the fourth and fifth armies on the southern front reported to me that they couldn't hold on anymore, so they decided to surrender to the Germans tomorrow morning. The other three armies on the northern front can't hold on for long." Marshal Haig Said. "There is no point in continuing to fight. We have tried our best, and what we have done is worthy of the honorable title of imperial soldiers, but as a commander, I cannot allow my subordinates to sacrifice meaninglessly."

"Your Excellency, please, negotiate with the Germans." Haig said that he was a little weeping here, and millions of British troops had already stepped into hell. More than 300,000 people were surrounded, and this time the number was more than four times that of the Dunkirk retreat! If all these troops are lost, it is really not too much for the British to describe the dead generation!

"Marshal Haig, if the Germans can let the French go, then I can understand it, because France and Germany are next to each other. France lost the bridgeheads of Alsace and Lorraine, which is a disadvantage for Germany. The German army is too strong. , They are not afraid that the French will be hostile again, but it is different for the British, the crown prince regards us as the biggest enemy! Get rid of it and hurry up, our concession and tolerance cannot be exchanged for the tolerance of the other party." Aspen Prime Minister Ques said with some cold words.

After a few days of thinking, Prime Minister Asquith came to his senses, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Germans are so ruthless! This time, Crown Prince Ruprecht didn't just want to defeat Britain militarily, but wanted Britain to fall from the status of world hegemon forever, and then fall to pieces!

Simply asking the British to pay a lot of manpower and resource costs in the war is not enough to bring Britain down, because Britain has vast colonies, markets, and raw material production areas. The loss of a large number of colonies to the United Kingdom will not guarantee the collapse of the United Kingdom. The reason is very simple. The British are very sophisticated in managing the colonies. Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which enjoy a high degree of autonomy, are willing to survive under the protection of the British, so they A lot of supplies and troops can be provided to help Britain. It is impossible for the Germans to obtain territories such as Australia and Canada, and entering East Asia and Southeast Asia will also arouse the vigilance of the Americans, so Germany can only start from Africa, and Africa has a limited position in the British colonial system!

So, the German crown prince separated the UK from its potential allies in the diplomatic and international environment in addition to the battlefield and the colonies! Like France! If the Germans enter Paris again this time, even if the Allies lose,

So this hatred and irreconcilable conflict can keep Britain and France close, but what about Russia? After a large amount of territory was seized by Germany, no matter who is in power in Russia, they are sworn enemies with the Germans! It can be said that 20 years later, it is possible for the three powers of the Allied Powers to gather again, and if the relationship between the United States and Britain can be coordinated by then, then it is not impossible to pull the United States in the future!

Therefore, for the UK, it is not that it has not encountered a strong enemy in its history of dominating the planet for hundreds of years, nor has it failed temporarily, but in the end, the UK survived! Previously, in Prime Minister Asquith's view, perhaps this war could be called the biggest defeat in British history, but it should definitely not be the focus of British hegemony, but now it seems that the situation is far from as good as he imagined! Because, in the troika of the Allied Powers, the French have already jumped out!

The contradiction between Britain and Germany is irreconcilable. Unless one side kills the other, the two sides will always be hostile, just like Britain and France in the Napoleon era. The contradictions between Russia and Germany are also irreconcilable. The Allies defeated the pride and glory of Russia for 300 years. No matter who inherited the government of the largest land country in the world, they must take revenge on the Allies. Fight again for their lost status, land, resources, and population with the Germans!

And the only place where reconciliation is possible is France, although the French also lost Alsace and Lorraine, although the French are more proud than the Russians. However, France is the only one among the troika of the Allied Powers that cannot compete with Germany! The British have the English Channel, the strongest fleet in the world, and colonies all over the world. To put it bluntly, if one day the British Isles really cannot hold on, the British government can still go into exile in Canada and Australia! As for the Russians? Their land of more than 20 million square kilometers has already prevented them from being destroyed by external force, but it is a pity that France cannot!

Maybe the Germans can't destroy Britain and Russia in World War I, but they can kill France. The so-called alliance and the credibility of the empire are worthless when the country's life and death are at stake! If the Germans don't give the French a way out, the French may fight to the death, but when the Germans give the French even a little chance, the French will kick the British away without hesitation, just like now!

The French did a lot of things for the Germans. Apart from directly sending troops to attack the British Expeditionary Force, they have done everything they can! And since the French are so decisive now, it means that France has already figured out one thing, that is, France and Britain are already enemies after the war, and France is going to change its doors! This move is really high! The Crown Prince Ruprecht used threats and tolerance to achieve a success that could not be achieved by pure force-to resolve an enemy and make the relationship between Britain and France beyond redemption!
