Jagged Germany

Chapter 687: Secret visit to the United States

"Your Excellency, South Africa is too close to the Germans, Australia is too far away, and India is too backward. Therefore, Canada is our best retreat! Although, if the Germans only send one million people to attack the British mainland, we have It is very possible to resist their attack. However, we have to prepare for the best and the worst. Once the mainland cannot hold on, I hope we can withdraw to Canada and continue to fight!" Churchill said to Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray .

??The German army is too strong. Even if only one million people are sent to attack the British mainland, Churchill still does not have the confidence to hold the British mainland. What's more, no one can guarantee whether the German army will send more troops to the UK after they resisted one million German troops. After all, in order to win the final victory, Germany will definitely go all out. With the other battlefields already over, the German army can already gather the main force to deal with Britain. In contrast, the strength of the British army is really terrible.

"Your Excellency, I know. I will do my best to arrange everything. I will try my best to communicate with the Americans. However, this time, the Americans may have too many demands!" Sir Edward Gray said .

??Churchill nodded: "If our homeland falls, there is really no way out. Even if the Americans ask too much, we can only agree!"

?? "That is to say, no matter what demands the Americans make, shall we agree to them?" Sir Edward Gray frowned.

?? "Come in and get the best conditions for us!" Churchill sighed.

??The former British Empire was the hegemon of the world! Now, it has fallen to such a point. This is indeed very sad!

?? "Okay, Your Excellency, I understand!" Sir Edward Gray nodded.

??In order to send Sir Edward Gray safely to the United States, the British Navy specially dispatched a cutting-edge destroyer to set off overnight. Although, the German navy blocked Britain. But at night, there are still many loopholes that can be drilled. What's more, the speed of the destroyer is very fast. As long as it uses the night to get rid of the tracking of the German navy, it will not be so easy to catch up with it during the day.

??Although Canada is a colony of the United Kingdom, it is actually a self-governing dominion now, with greater autonomy. Whether it is the Governor-General or the Prime Minister of Canada, as well as those politicians, they all hope that Canada can achieve true independence. If the British government moves from the mainland to Canada, it will deal a heavy blow to Canada's independence process. Therefore, they will not welcome the British government.

?? Fortunately, the current British government still has a lot of influence in Canada. The military, in particular, is basically under the control of the British government. Therefore, if the British government forcibly moves to Canada, the local political forces have nothing to do.

??After British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray arrived in Canada, he held secret talks with Canadian Governor-General Arthur William Patrick Albert and Prime Minister Robert Laird Borden. Both Governor Albert and Prime Minister Bodden clearly opposed the move of the British government from the mainland to Canada. None of them wanted war to come to Canada.

?? Sir Edward Gray assured them that as long as the war with Germany ended, whether it was victory or defeat, the British government would eventually move out of Canada. Moreover, he promised the two that Canada would be given true independence by then.

??Governor Albert and Prime Minister Bodden knew that it would be difficult for them to refuse the request of the battalion commander's government. After all, Canada is still a British colony. At the same time, the army was still under the control of the British government. There are only about seven million people in Canada. Even if Britain is now in decline, it is not something they can resist.

??Therefore, Governor Albert and Prime Minister Bodden had to agree to Sir Edward Gray, agreeing that once the British mainland fell, the British government would move to Canada. The two of them also asked the British government to guarantee that once the war is over, they must move out of Canada. At the same time, try to avoid the flames of war from burning to Canada. The current Canadian body is too fragile to withstand a tragic war at all!

?? After Sir Edward Gray basically solved the Canadian problem, he secretly went to the United States and held a secret meeting with US Secretary of State Bryan in Washington.

"Your Excellency, the Germans are about to launch an attack on our homeland. Although the British Empire will continue to resist and persist until the end, we have to admit that the Germans are too powerful. Even if we try our best, we may not necessarily able to withstand a German attack," said Sir Edward Gray.

?? "Your Excellency, I can fully understand. The fighting power of the Germans is really too strong. They almost defeated the entire Allied Powers by themselves!" Brian sighed. Now, the United States is fortunate that they are not involved in the war. Otherwise, perhaps the United States is now having a headache as to how to end the war.

?? "Yes! No one thought that the fighting power of the Germans would be so strong, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations!" Sir Edward Gray said. In particular, the Royal Navy has always regarded itself as the number one in the world. But I didn't expect that after a few naval battles, their main force was almost wiped out.

"Your Excellency, if the British Empire can't hold on, then just end the war! The United States of America can mediate for you. Of course, the Germans are very greedy. If the British Empire wants to end the war, it will definitely pay a huge price ’ said Brian.

??Germany has severely blackmailed the Kingdom of France and Italy, which is already known to the whole world. If Britain wants to end the war, it is estimated that the price it will pay will be greater than that of France. Britain is richer than France, and the Germans will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

?? Of course, none of this has much to do with the United States. The United States hopes that Britain will continue to exist. In this case, with the enmity between Britain and Germany, they can undoubtedly hold back part of the energy of the Germans. America will be safer.

??Even though the United States is doing its best to develop its armaments, they know that the military gap with Germany is too great. Without long-term accumulation, it is almost impossible to catch up with Germany. With the British at the front, they will be under a little less pressure.
