Canada, Toronto, Prime Minister's residence.

Although British government was forced to leave his homeland and went into exile Canada. However, Britain still has considerable potential power on European continent. The battle between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe also made Britain ecstatic.

Some optimistic Britain ministers even believe that this war will cause heavy losses to Germany. At that time, Britain may be able to take the opportunity to counterattack the mainland. The various foundations of Canada are really too weak, which makes it almost impossible for Britain to become strong again with the help of Canada.

Originally, the population of Canada was only a few million. However, when Britain lost its homeland and defeated Canada, Britain people continued to flee to Canada from the homeland and other colonies. Especially after German military began to attack Britain's colonies, Britain people from all over the country gathered in Canada, making the population of Canada exceed 10 million.

But even so, it is far from enough for British government, who wants to become stronger again, defeat Germany, and take back British mainland. Therefore, they will cooperate with Americans.

This time, Americans incited Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire to start a war, and Britain people also contributed a lot. Otherwise, everything would not go so smoothly. Not to mention anything else, when Karl I proposed the decision to withdraw from Allied Powers, the Britain people used their strength to let Austro-Hungarian ministers who were influenced by them support Karl I's decision. This allowed the decision of Karl I to be approved.

In the end, the war broke out as expected. This makes Britain people ecstatic. Even if Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot defeat Germany, as long as Germany can make Germany pay a relatively large loss, it is still a victory.

However, the final result does not seem to satisfy Britain people.

When a series of news from Europe were summarized, the ministers of British Cabinet all turned pale.

"God! It's hard to imagine that Austro-Hungarian Empire has always been known as one of the great powers. However, they are so vulnerable. The Germany people just called, and this powerful Empire has already fallen apart. Germany This time, the people will not only not pay a heavy price for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but they will also be able to defeat a powerful country around them in one fell swoop, making them safer! This is not a good thing for the British Empire," Churchill said with a dark face.

"Yes! No one can believe that Austro-Hungarian Empire can be so weak. But the emperor Karl I, doesn't he know? Knowing that his country is so weak, he went to provoke Germany people, this is simply seeking death. Habsburg dynasty How could such an emperor be born? "British Foreign Minister Edward? Sir Gray sighed.

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

"Prime Minister, what should we do next? I'm afraid we won't be able to regain our homeland." Minister of War Kitchener said with a look of regret. If we can take back our homeland, British Empire's strength will increase a lot. Among other things, enough soldiers will expand their army to more than two million. Unlike now in Canada, even for extreme mobilization, it can only be expanded to one million at most. With such a small force, it is almost impossible to go on an expedition to Europe and defeat Germany. Therefore, they can only place their hopes on Americans, hoping that Americans can be more powerful.

"We can only wait for the moment. We need to wait for the opportunity. Wait until we become stronger again and our American allies has the strength to defeat the Germany people. It will be difficult to defeat the Germany people with our strength alone!" Churchill sighed.

The other ministers nodded repeatedly, although this result was very frustrating. But that's the fact, and there's nothing they can do about it.

"Prime Minister, Americans sent fleets to Eastern Atlantic. Originally, they planned to cooperate with Austro-Hungarian Empire Navy and attack German Navy. But now, Austro-Hungarian Empire is so vulnerable. I think it would be useless for Americans to send a fleet to Eastern Atlantic," First Sea Lord Admiral Jellicoe said.

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

"Americans sent the fleet to Eastern Atlantic, just to demonstrate to Germany people. Unfortunately, Imperial Navy's strength is now greatly damaged, and the rebuilt Capital Ships has not been able to serve. Otherwise, we can unite with American Navy and make Germany people pay a heavy price!" Churchill said.

British Navy was almost completely lost in the last war, which meant that when they fled to Canada, there was not even a single Capital Ships. Those Capital Shipss built in British mainland fell into the hands of Germany people before they were completed. This makes Britain have to rebuild Capital Ships if it wants to revive the navy.

The shipyard of Canada does not have the ability to build Capital Ships, which forces Britain to invest heavily in upgrading the shipyard first. These projects are completed before construction of the new Capital Ships begins. So far, it is only half completed. If you want to serve, you may have to wait for another year.

All in all, British Cabinet is very disappointed with the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire this time. I originally wanted to use Austro-Hungarian Empire's hand to make Germany pay heavy losses. Unexpectedly, the final result was that Germany easily solved Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Also very disappointed with the performance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is Island Nation of Far East. The last time Island Nation failed miserably, it not only spit out all of South Seas's colonies. At the same time, the coastal areas of the country were reduced to ruins by the Germany people, which can be described as heavy losses.

Originally, they were still thinking about a war breaking out between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire. Once the war reached a stalemate, they could take the opportunity to send troops to attack South Seas again. In that case, not only can they avenge their shame, but they can also take the opportunity to occupy South Seas's colony and let Island Nation solve the resource bottleneck.

But unfortunately, they never expected that Austro-Hungarian Empire would be so vulnerable. This made Island Nation's plan end before it even started to be implemented.
