Therefore, the Germans are very clear about the meaning. Asking for Americans does not play a big role in Germany. Whether it is the ally relationship between Germany and the United States or the hard power of Germany, the United States will not play a big role. Secondly, Americans will not let Britain go easily. In this era, major powers are generally more revengeful... If you want to ask Americans for help, first think about how much money the British have in their own shriveled wallet! As for the last point, don't forget to have an outside country. If Britain chooses to stand with the United States, then Britain is likely to face the second large-scale war immediately. Regardless of the outcome of this war, the British colonies in the Far East will be beaten to pieces. In short, this is the case, you can do it yourself!

"Damn it! It's a complete defeat!" Belfort knew that when the talks reached this point, at least at his level, Britain had not had many countermeasures. The first thing to be noted is that the British knew very well how much their remaining family was. As the Germans said, even if Germany's conditions were more harsh, the British could still have a lot of family assets. And taking these family assets to be brothers for the Americans? The British government is not so stupid yet!

Therefore, Belford's previous statement was actually to scare the Germans, tell them not to be too much, be careful that everyone would split up, so that the Germans would lower the price when they offer. However, they didn't know that the Germans didn't believe Belford's rhetoric at all, so this so-called intimidation was a joke! What's more serious is that the Germans' subsequent words were very rigorous, and it can even be said to analyze this problem from the perspective of the British, so even Belford believed that asking for help from the United States at this time was not a good choice...

The current situation can be described as such a scene. Two swordsmen were about to draw their swords and fight. As a result, one of them just put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the other party was defeated... Now this is what Prince Belfort and Prince Batenberg feel, and they can't even find a place to counterattack!

"However, is the cost of 3 billion pounds too high? The British Empire cannot afford such a high amount of compensation. You should know that the Franco-Prussian War was only compensated 5 billion francs, which is about 200 million pounds! And this time, what you asked for is more than 15 times that of the Franco-Prussian War!" So, when you could not become tough, Belfort could only cry decisively!

"However, the French paid 5 billion francs in just three years, and this time, we have enough time to get you to pay the compensation." Prince Baden paused and continued: "And what I need to make is that the compensation you need to pay is no longer 3 billion pounds. Due to the poor performance of your country's navy, we boldly increased the compensation price! As for the specific amount, we have to negotiate with our top leaders, and it also depends on your country's performance! It is really meaningless to play tricks at this time!"

"Haha, I think if the negotiations between us eventually collapse, then the differences in compensation costs may account for more than 40%. As for asking the British Empire to cooperate with your country, I can only say that you are thinking too much." Sir Belfort's sharp words did not give him much extra points, but instead made people feel that he was strong on the outside and was fucked by the inside! However, the Germans on the opposite side did not want to let him go.

"Then I want to know what is the other 60% of the reason for the collapse of the negotiations." Prince Baden said with a smile.

"Losing the entire Africa is unacceptable for the British Empire, especially in southern Africa, where the most important non-ferrous metals, gold and diamond mines of the empire are. Unless we can retain these areas and use the production here as compensation, your country will receive only meaningless banknotes." Earl Belford paused for a moment and continued: "We can exchange other territories with Southern Africa."

"This suggestion is not possible without room for implementation. Australia and Canada. It is too far away from us, and you will not give it to it. The empire has promised that the United States will no longer seek colonies and garrisons in the Far East, so we will not choose Southeast Asia. As for India? I think the British government will not give it to it, right? So, we will not give it to the issue of African colonies." Prince Baden said.

"Then this is another part of the reason for the failure of the negotiations." Earl of Belfort sighed.

"It seems that our differences are so big today that it is difficult to bridge them." Earl Schelling said after looking at the two British representatives, who did not make too many statements.

"From your performance, I think it is meaningless for us to continue this informal contact. After all, we all know what each other wants, but are unwilling to compromise. Then we can let it go first. In addition, I need to add to your country's armistice statement that when your country decides to truce, the main military departments must stop operating, and all Royal Navy ships must not leave the range within 30 nautical miles of the British mainland. The Air Force must ground all aircraft with an air weight of more than 2 tons and conduct centralized storage. Then hand over the list of relevant aircraft and ships to us, and we will also send personnel to check. After everything is confirmed, we will accept your armistice request." Earl Schelling said at last.

"This is simply to let us put down our weapons and surrender! We cannot accept such conditions!" Prince Batenberg said loudly.

"Then the war will continue," said Prince Baden without caring. "Of course, you can contact the Americans during this period and see if the Americans offer will satisfy you. I can guarantee that Americans will be much more than us to some extent."

"Then at least the fleet that transports food and medicine should always be able to enter Britain safely, and war should not be targeted at civilians." Earl of Belfort wanted to fight for it in the end.

"What makes sense is that war should not be directed at civilians. If your country can practice this sentence, there will be no North Sea blockade. We respect morality, but we prefer to go tooth and blood for blood! The blockade of submarines and long-range bombers will continue! Unless the UK admits defeat!" Then Prince Baden made a stop gesture, indicating that all negotiations had ended, and the German side would no longer discuss with the British how to discuss topics related to the negotiations!

"Will the British surrender?" After the talks, Prince Baden said to Earl Schelling on the way back to his car.

"Yes, because we have the advantage," said Earl Schelling.

"Even if there is the help of Americans?" the prince continued.

"Even with the help of the Americans, the situation will not change." Earl Schelling said with a smile.
