Chapter 995 Future plans
"If the war ends like this, then Germany will have the ability to enter the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean in the future. In the Atlantic, they will be based in Spain, and in the direction of the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf will become the best base for the German High Seas Fleet. At the same time, the newly established
Russia will also serve as Germany's
They exist as vassals. The Allied Powers will fully stretch their bodies, and they will reach the peak of their power. But at the same time, they will also be in a state of hostility with the entire world." When Churchill said these words, Lloyd George was shocked. He
I really can't figure out the reason for this.
"The Americans did not try their best in this war. When Germany wanted to fight on two fronts, the Americans chose to sit on the sidelines. But when Germany defeated Tsarist Russia and transferred its troops to the Western Front, the United States hurriedly entered the war. And then
By that time, we were already exhausted. The United States had overestimated its own power. They were unable to defeat the Germans and their allies alone. And when Germany included most of Europe into its sphere of influence, the United States
You must consider your own safety
, the Atlantic Ocean is not that wide. And the United States, which can only rely on the Panama Canal to communicate between the two sides, must consider the threat from Germany, especially the threat after the terrifying High Seas Fleet acquires the Spanish port. If Germany before was only a possible threat to the United States,
Then Germany will become a real threat to the United States, and more importantly, Germany means this, and their activities in Latin America have seriously dissatisfied the United States!" Churchill was not nervous because the other party was the Prime Minister.
"You mean, after the war, the United States will regard Germany as its biggest enemy? Then why not China?" Lloyd George thought for a while and said. "From a geographical point of view, China is more like a maritime country than Germany, and
Maritime powers have always expanded outward. Spain and Portugal are like this. France is like this, and Britain is like this. There is no reason for China not to expand outward."
"But the Pacific region has been completely divided! Hawaii is permanently neutral, and both China and the United States lack a transit base as a support point for attacks. The United States has been driven out of the Far East. Not even a foothold is left. Of course, if
If the British Empire can provide Australia, it will give the Americans a chance, but will you do so?" Churchill asked rhetorically.
"Haha." Lloyd George smiled and said nothing. Everything was said without saying anything. Of course, Britain will not become a stepping stone for Americans to expand to the Far East. Things are not settled in Europe, so how can there be time to take care of the Far East? More
What's more, China's development prospects are worse than
Germany is stronger. It has more people and more land. Although the newly incorporated Siberia is inaccessible, it is vast after all. If the Germans picked up a peach in this war, then China picked up one.
watermelon.
"And unlike the Germans, the leaders of China knew where their limits were. After acquiring the original German Far East colonies, they did not make any further moves eastward. They did not take advantage of the European war to
Heading towards Australia. The other party's intention is to leave Australia as a buffer. Of course, you can say that China is trying to carve up Russia and is unable to do what it wants, but in reality, for China, it is far from reaching the limit of its power." Churchill
The conversation changed.
"China's next target is the Middle East, which is the current Ottoman Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula. Although I don't know why the Chinese leader cares so much about this place, in fact, apart from Siberia, this direction is where China has invested the most energy.
place. Even the exchange for aid to Germany was to obtain oil exploration rights in the Mesopotamian plain." Churchill pointed to a corner of the map and said.
"But China is not short of oil. Especially after acquiring the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies, and looking at it now, the oil production in the Middle East is not high. From an economic point of view, this is a very irrational choice.
.And more importantly, the Middle East is now the sphere of influence of the Germans. If resources worth fighting for both sides appear here, it will inevitably lead to a comprehensive intensification of conflicts!" Lloyd George finally understood what Churchill meant, and Hua
Xia was already in the Middle East. Although under the special circumstances of World War 1, the Germans agreed to China's request, but after the war, when Germany recovered, who knew whether the Kaiser would betray his promise? And such a situation
If it comes, the conflict between Germany and China will be inevitable! Coupled with the pressure on Germany from the United States in the Atlantic, it seems that if Germany makes a strategic misjudgment, it will indeed become an enemy of the world.
"So in your opinion, even if the war is over, the external environment of the British Empire will not worsen, but there is a possibility that Germany will fall out with its allies in the Far East? It's a very good idea, but even so, it does not mean that the British Empire
The empire will rest easy." Lloyd George was not optimistic about the reality. China has not yet conflicted with Germany, and after all, the United States is separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and whether it will fully support the United Kingdom, Lloyd George has no idea at all!
"Germany's entry into the Middle East has been a strategy that has been formulated for a long time. After the war, they are likely to expand their sphere of influence towards Iran and India. In the future, we may have to compete with Germany in India. External intervention
Before, it would be more difficult for us. But even if China has not expressed anything, the United States has already taken all actions, whether it is financial or material, and will have some expressions." Churchill seemed worried about this most precious colony of the British Empire.
.
"It seems that the armistice is not a good idea, but it is the only way out now. The British Empire needs to reintegrate its forces to deal with more severe challenges. Maybe in more than ten years, you will be sitting on my
Now the position is on par with the Germans." Lloyd George said with some helplessness.
While the British were thinking about the armistice and future plans, the German ambassador to China had expressed to Xu Jie that he hoped that China would mediate the war between the Allies and the Central Powers. On this issue, there was endless debate within China.
Few people think that there is no need for West China to intervene in this matter. If Europe is willing to shake things up, it can be done. What does it have to do with us? It's better.
Good money is more real. Others are worried that if the Allies fail, the Allied Powers will target China. After all, China has always been leaning towards the Germans during the war. If the war can be stopped at this time, Germany will
We can continue to contain the forces of Britain, France and the United States, so that they cannot do anything to China. China can still have both sides.
The first kind of people's ideas are very practical, but have great limitations. In the end, they only focus on money. The second kind of people have more advanced ideas. They at least know that leaving Germany to continue to contain the Allies has some foresight, but it is not enough.
Those who are truly capable are the third type of people. Well, this type of people is only Xu Jie and a few others. Their ideas are more far-reaching, that is, how to use various operations to allow the Allies led by Germany to continue to cooperate with the Allied Powers led by Britain and the United States.
The Allies fight to the death!
An armistice is necessary, but an armistice cannot solve all problems. On the contrary, it will leave all kinds of contradictions. So that at some time in the future, the two major military groups will fight again! At the same time, the strengths of both sides must be balanced. Germany is in this battle.
We have made money in the war, so in order to prevent Britain and France from collapse when they fight again in the future, we must try our best to avoid the weakness of Britain and France. At the same time, China cannot mediate for the two major military groups in vain, and at least needs to charge some "
"Benefit fee". China has already thought about this benefit fee, that is, the Allies and the Entente Powers must recognize the legality of China's acquisition of land from Russia, and at the same time obtain some benefits from countries such as Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. Xu Jie believes that even if Germany expands in the Middle East, it will
It cannot bring the entire Arabian Peninsula or even Iran into its sphere of influence. Otherwise, when oil in the Middle East is exploited in large quantities, won't Germany become the American emperor of its own plane?
Although we know our own plane, it was in the 1960s that the countries of the Arabian Peninsula discovered a large amount of oil, but who knows how drilling technology will develop in the next few decades? Strike first to gain strength and suffer disaster later. It is always good to be prepared first.
.To a certain extent, Xu Jie is already very satisfied with the world situation in this plane. China occupies most of North Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia, and its territorial area has exceeded that of the country known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. If operated
Appropriately, Europe still remained after the war
It is a situation where two powers stand side by side. Although the United States has no strong strength, it is still limited to the Americas. It does not even have access to places such as Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba. When I think of it, I have conspired against the superpower in the previous plane.
, a sense of pride arose spontaneously. And thinking that the country in the north of China that once cut off more than three million square kilometers of land from China has completely turned into a second-rate country in Europe, Xu Jie is not only proud,
That’s quite a sense of accomplishment! I even wake up laughing while dreaming!
This war should be stopped. It is in our interests for the four countries of Britain, France, Germany and Austria to fall. At the same time, we must let the Americans do hard work in vain. I think everyone will be very unhappy if we cannot gain benefits from the war. Although this position
On the surface, the United States is already miserable enough, but Xu Jie believes that it should be made even more miserable. The Americans tried their best to take advantage, but in the end they took action too late, and they only went up when their allies could not hold on. When they wanted to fight
when,
The allies don't want to fight. This is probably one of the saddest things in the world. What can the United States gain from this war? In addition to huge casualties and consumption, I am afraid it is some combat experience? The hegemonic status he wants to obtain and so on
I'm afraid it's all in vain, after all, Germany has not fallen in this dimension. By then, even across the Atlantic Ocean, the United States will not relax? And in his own dimension, William II is causing trouble in the back garden of the United States, and he should be even more unscrupulous now
