Jagged Germany

Chapter 961: Disappointed

??Canada, Toronto, Prime Minister's Office.

??Although the British government was forced to leave the mainland and went into exile in Canada. However, Britain still has considerable potential power on the European continent. The war between Germany and Austria-Hungary in Europe also made Britain ecstatic.

??Some optimistic British ministers even believed that this war would cause heavy losses to Germany. At that time, Britain may be able to take the opportunity to counterattack the mainland. Canada's various foundations are too weak, which makes it almost impossible for the United Kingdom to use Canada to become stronger again.

??Originally, Canada's population was only a few million. However, when Britain lost its mainland and retreated to Canada, British people continued to flee to Canada from the mainland and other colonies. Especially after the German army began to attack the British colonies, British people from all over the world gathered in Canada, making the population of Canada exceed 10 million.

?? But even this is far from enough for the British government, which wants to become strong again, defeat Germany, and regain the British mainland. Therefore, they will cooperate with the Americans.

?? This time, the Americans provoked Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire to go to war, and the British did not contribute less. Otherwise, everything would not be so smooth. Among other things, when Karl I made the decision to withdraw from the Allies, the British used their strength to get the ministers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who were influenced by them to support Karl I's decision. This made the decision of Karl I passed.

??Finally, the war broke out as it wished. This made the British ecstatic. Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot defeat Germany, as long as it can make Germany pay a relatively large loss, it is a victory.

?? However, the final result does not seem to satisfy the British.

??When a series of news from Europe was compiled, the ministers of the British cabinet all turned pale.

"God! It's hard to imagine that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has always been known as one of the great powers. However, they are so vulnerable. Just after the Germans came, this powerful empire has already fallen apart. This time, the Germans, Not only will it not pay a heavy price in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it can also solve a powerful country around it in one fell swoop, making them safer! This is not a good thing for the British Empire." Churchill said with a dark face.

"Yeah! No one can believe that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is so weak. But the emperor Karl I, doesn't he know that? Knowing that his country is so weak, but to provoke the Germans, this is simply courting death. How did the Habsburg dynasty produce such an emperor?" Sir Edward Gray, the British Foreign Secretary, sighed.

?? After all, the Habsburg dynasty is considered a very famous royal family in Europe, and it can be compared with the royal family of the British Empire. However, it is a pity that these two royal families are now under the attack of the Germans and have fallen.

?? "Your Excellency Prime Minister, what should we do next? It may be a long way off if we want to regain our homeland." Secretary of the Army Kitchener said with regret. If the homeland can be regained, the strength of the British Empire will rise a lot. Among other things, enough soldiers will expand their army to more than two million. Unlike in Canada now, even for extreme mobilization, it can be expanded to a maximum of one million. With such a small force, it is almost impossible to go on an expedition to Europe and defeat Germany. Therefore, they can only pin their hopes on the Americans now, and hope that the Americans can do more.

"For the time being, we can only wait. We need to wait further. Wait until we become stronger again and our American allies have the strength to defeat the Germans. It will be difficult to defeat the Germans with our strength alone!" Churchill sighed.

??The other ministers nodded repeatedly, although the result was very frustrating. However, the fact is that there is nothing they can do.

"Your Excellency, the Americans sent a fleet to the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Originally, they planned to cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Navy and attack the German Navy. But now, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is so vulnerable. I think the Americans sent the fleet to The eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean seems to be useless." Admiral Jellicoe, Secretary of the Navy, said.

??Although Admiral Jellicoe commanded the Grand Fleet at the beginning, he was not able to defeat the German Navy, but caused the Royal Navy to fail miserably. However, Admiral Jellicoe, as a general who has fought against the German Navy, has quite a lot of experience. In the absence of other suitable candidates, Admiral Jellicoe is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

"The Americans sent a fleet to the eastern Atlantic Ocean to demonstrate to the Germans. Unfortunately, the Imperial Navy is now in great decline, and the rebuilt capital ship has not yet been able to serve. Otherwise, we can join forces with the U.S. Navy , Let the Germans pay a heavy price!" Churchill said.

??The British navy was almost completely lost in the last war, which made them flee to Canada without a single capital ship. The capital ships built in the UK fell into the hands of the Germans before they were completed. This makes it necessary for Britain to rebuild its capital ships if it wants to revive its navy.

??Canada's shipyards do not have the ability to build capital ships, which makes the UK have to invest heavily in upgrading the shipyards. After these projects are completed, the construction of new capital ships will begin. So far, it's only half-finished. If you want to serve in the military, you may have to wait a year.

?? All in all, the British cabinet is very disappointed with the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire this time. Originally, I wanted to use the hands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to make Germany pay heavy losses. Unexpectedly, the final result was that Germany easily solved the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

?? Also very disappointed with the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there are also island countries in the Far East. The last time the island nation suffered a disastrous defeat, it not only spit out all the colonies in Nanyang. At the same time, the coastal areas of the country were turned into ruins by the Germans, which can be described as heavy losses.

??Originally, they were still thinking about the outbreak of war between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Once the war reached a stalemate, they would be able to take the opportunity to send troops to attack Nanyang again. In that case, not only would they be able to avenge their shame, but they would also be able to take the opportunity to occupy the colonies in Nanyang and let the island countries solve their resource bottlenecks.

?? But unfortunately, they never expected that the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be so vulnerable. This made the island nation's plan come to an end before it even started.
