"Gentlemen, God bless British Empire! Germany people are so arrogant that they have made a stupid move now. Do they really think that their military strength is strong enough to be the enemy of the whole world at the same time?" Prime Minister Asquith, with a smile on his face. It was as if the huge pressure from the previous period had suddenly disappeared.
As Germany becomes more and more dominant in the war, Britain is under increasing pressure. In order to dispatch more Expeditionary Force to European continent, the mobilization efforts of British mainland have become increasingly intensive. Many young men were pressed into service. This makes Expeditionary Force's military strength continue to rise. Of course, British mainland's defense has also begun to be strengthened. British government is still worried. If Anglo-French Allied Forces cannot resist German offensive in France, then a large number of troops will be needed to defend the country. Only in this way will they be able to continue to persevere in the war.
"Yes! Prime Minister, God must be blessing British Empire!" Foreign Minister Edward? Sir Gray also said.
The current occupation has become very detrimental to Britain. However, if United States can join Allied Powers in the battle, this will undoubtedly change Britain's difficult situation, and even win the war is not impossible.
Just as German military believes that they will definitely win the next two crucial battles, British government also believes that their army will definitely be able to withstand German offensive. In this case, although the situation is very unfavorable to them, they still have a great chance of winning.
"Gentlemen, do you think Americans will be angered by Germany people and join the war?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this may be very difficult. Although the United States and the Germans are now at war with each other. However, it is undoubtedly difficult to say whether the Americans have the confidence to join the war. The military strength displayed by the Germans in this war is really too strong. The United States The Chinese have never been good at fighting. Their industrial strength is very strong, but their military strength is not strong. It also takes a long time to transform industrial strength into military strength. Therefore, the Americans may not compromise this time." Churchill was not as optimistic as Prime Minister Asquith.
"Mr. Churchill, you are too negative. Americans's military strength is indeed not strong. However, if they are given enough time, their industrial strength can be converted into military strength. As long as we can withstand the attack of the Germany people, when United States's military strength breaks out, we will definitely be able to win." Prime Minister Asquith said.
Although, these senior officials of British Cabinet all look down on upstarts like United States. But the funny thing is that now United States has become their life-saving straw. They all hope that United States can join Allied Powers at this time to help them win the war. Obviously, they no longer have the confidence to win this war on their own.
"Prime Minister, that's exactly the case, so we have to be more careful about Germany people. In order to prevent United States from joining the war and affecting the war situation. The Germany people will definitely launch an attack in a short time and try to defeat us. In this case, even if United States joins the war, it will not pose much of a threat to them. "Churchill is still a little worried.
"The Germans will launch an attack this spring. Isn't this something we have long concluded? At the same time, we have been preparing to deal with the German attack. The expeditionary force we sent to France has reached as many as 500,000 people. There are also 500,000 army troops in the mainland. And our French allies, their army has expanded to 2.5 million people. The troops used to deal with the Germans in the north alone have as many as 2 million people. The British and French coalition forces with a total of 2.5 million people will definitely be able to withstand the Germans. Attack. The Royal Navy has also improved a lot after the "Queen Elizabeth" class battleships and "Revenge-class" battleships were put into service. Perhaps, it is still not a problem to compete with the Germans. Therefore, if the United States can join the war, the outcome of this war will be changed. The British Empire will defeat the most powerful enemy in history and win the final victory of the war!" War Secretary Richard Haldan seemed very confident.
"Then, the most critical question now is how Americans will join the war. Can we add fuel to the flames?" Prime Minister Asquith said.
"Prime Minister, this is actually very simple. Don't Germany people want to ban all ships from arriving at Britain and prohibit other countries from transporting supplies to us? We can just take this opportunity, Place more orders with United States and let Americans merchant ships transport supplies to us. In order to make profits, those United States merchant ships will definitely force them into Germany people. Unauthorized delineation of Prohibited Navigation Zone. When the time comes, once the United States merchant ship is seized or sunk, you can only imagine what kind of reaction US government will make. If the price United States pays is high enough, then the possibility of them going to war with Germany will undoubtedly be great," Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd? George said.
"Well, let's do this. Place as many orders as possible to Americans, so that United States industry and commerce will go crazy because of this. Only in this way will they ignore the warnings of Germany people." Prime Minister Asquith said.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Everyone replied.
"Prime Minister, if possible, we can lend more money to United States. In this case, as long as Americans does not want those loans not to be recovered, they will only support us. This will make us and United States have common interests." Foreign Minister Edward Sir Gray also said.
"Very good, let Sir Sir handle this matter!" Prime Minister Asquith nodded.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Edward? Sir Gray said quickly.
"Gentlemen, the current situation is developing in our favor. Maybe, the war situation will be reversed soon. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to win this life-and-death battle for the British Empire. Whether British Empire can survive for a long time depends on this battle!" Prime Minister Asquith said.
"British Empire will win!" all Britain Cabinet Minister shouted. They are full of desire and confidence for victory.
