"Prime Minister, Germany people have stopped attacking. They have more than 400,000 people stationed on the other side of the Appalachian Mountains to confront us." David Magson reported.
Prime Minister Churchill nodded. "We cannot take it lightly. We must assemble our troops to defend ourselves. Especially in the St. Lawrence River mouth area. Be prepared for Germany people to launch a landing operation using Marine Corps."
German Marine Corps performed amazingly in this war, easily defeating Coastal Defense Force of American-British Allied Forces many times.
"Yes, Prime Minister." David Magson nodded.
"Gentlemen, what should we do now?" Prime Minister Churchill asked.
American-British Allied Forces failed miserably at Nova Scotia peninsula and New Brunswick province. The US military lost hundreds of thousands of people, and the British army lost no less troops than they did. Even more, if the losses of the British army in Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island are added, the losses of the British Army are already close to one million. You know, British Army only had one million in total before the war. Although more than one million troops were once again recruited after the war broke out, this was already the limit of their mobilization. After losing its homeland, Canada, which has a vast territory and a sparse population, simply cannot allow British Empire to build a strong military force.
Prime Minister Churchill doesn't have much confidence in this battle anymore. Although Americans's military power is very strong, it seems that it is just data on paper. In the real battle, they were still vulnerable and were easily defeated by German military.
Originally, Prime Minister Churchill wanted to rely on United States to defeat Germany, then counterattack the mainland and recover those colonies occupied by Germany. Now it seems that this was all just a joke.
"Prime Minister, we have suffered too many losses in this war. Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have almost been lost. The army has also lost most of it. Although there are more than one million troops left, most of these troops are new recruits and have no combat effectiveness at all. Once the Germany people continue to attack, it will be difficult for us to resist the Germany people's attack. The Germany people can attack all the way along St. Lawrence River until they reach Toronto," said Foreign Minister Anthony Eden.
Minister of War David Magson did not refute this. It is obvious that even he himself agrees with this statement.
"The war between Nova Scotia peninsula and New Brunswick province has made us see clearly the strength of Americans. They are just paper tigers. They look scary, but in fact they are not powerful at all. There is no fighting power. The outcome of this war may have been determined. And British Empire must make a choice. Otherwise, our country may really be destroyed." Anthony Eden continued.
"Americans still has several million troops, and they are fighting in North America. They won't really lose that miserably, right?" Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Kingsley Wood was a little unbelievable.
"Hmph! Americans's millions of troops are like paper in front of the Germany people. The Germany people only invested more than one million people in New Brunswick province and Nova Scotia peninsula, and they have already defeated us., unable to resist. Once more German military lands on North American continent, the final result will be that Americans will lose completely." First Sea Lord Sir Dudley also said.
"Prime Minister, it is true. The possibility of United States losing this war is very high." David Magson also echoed.
After one defeat after another, Britain's military leaders were no longer optimistic about this war. And this means that they will most likely lose the war. Everyone knows very well what the consequences will be if we lose this war.
Prime Minister Churchill's brows knit together tightly. He has served as Minister of War and First Sea Lord successively, and he also knows the situation of the army very well. After British government went into exile to Canada, he took charge of the government for more than 20 years. The reason why Britain fully cooperated with United States at the beginning had only one purpose, which was to keep British Empire and allow British Empire to continue. It would be best if we could take back our homeland and those colonies and make British Empire stronger. However, Prime Minister Churchill is absolutely unwilling to see British Empire go to destruction step by step.
"So, gentlemen, what do you mean?" Prime Minister Churchill asked. In fact, he had already guessed what everyone meant. However, since he is Prime Minister after all, there are many things he cannot say.
"Prime Minister, if we continue to fight, we will definitely lose. It will even make our country perish faster. Therefore, we must find a way to negotiate with Germany. As long as the Germany people can agree to let our country continue to exist, then we will end this damn war." Anthony Eden said.
"Are you going to surrender to the Germany people?" Prime Minister Churchill felt a little uncomfortable.
When the homeland was lost, in order to continue to fight against the Germany people, he led the government into exile in Canada.
"Prime Minister, as long as we can keep our country, it is not a big deal even if we surrender to the Germany people. I believe that the Germany people will definitely put forward harsh conditions. However, no matter how harsh the conditions are, it will not be worse than the complete destruction of our country. If the war continues and the Germany people completely destroy us, then there will really be nothing left." Anthony Eden continued to persuade.
The other ministers also nodded. For them, protecting the country is also their top priority. In other words, by protecting the country, they can also protect their own interests. They and the country have long been tied together.
Prime Minister Churchill thought for a while, then nodded. "Okay, secretly contact the Germany people. If the Germany people agree to let our country continue to exist, then we will surrender to the Germany people!"
"Yes, Prime Minister." The ministers couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Churchill's answer. They are most afraid that Churchill will choose to continue to resist. In that case, it will really be the worst result.
"However, I'm afraid His Majesty the King won't agree so easily." Anthony Eden was a little worried.
"His Majesty the King, I will explain it. I believe that His Majesty the King also understands that the overall situation is the most important thing." Churchill said.
In fact, during the more than two decades that Churchill has held power in the country, British Royal Family has not much power and influence left. Completely reduced to a puppet.
