Once his plan succeeds, the British Empire will not only not have to face the threats of Hans and Eagle Sauce at the same time, but can also win over Eagle Sauce to deal with Hans, and completely resolve the situation where they are attacked from all sides!
However, it is still very difficult to make up your mind to implement this strategy!
The British colonial system has always been the most important link in maintaining their country’s economic system. If they give up the market of their colonies so easily, then they will not be able to enjoy the market of hundreds of millions of people in the colonies alone in the future, and Eagle Sauce will also come to share a piece of the pie!
This is not a trivial matter, but a major event involving the interests of many people. Even if King George V is the king of a country, this decision cannot be made casually!
“Your Majesty, I think we can’t hesitate any longer. This is our only chance. If we can’t destroy the alliance between Hans and the Eagle Sauce, then they will definitely join hands to end our world hegemony. Once our world hegemony is ended, then the benefits we have now will vanish in an instant!
Rather than getting nothing at that time, it is better to cut off some of the benefits to the Eagle Sauce people and win them over to maintain our hegemony. In this way, even if we do nothing, our hegemony can at least last for twenty years!”
Prime Minister Lloyd George had a sharp eye. After seeing the hesitant look of King George V, he guessed the other party’s concerns.
So he began to urge the other party to dispel such concerns, not to limit their vision to temporary gains and losses, but to take a long-term view. Otherwise, they may keep some interests in the short term, but in the long run, they will end up with nothing!
“Twenty years, only twenty years?”
This was the first time that King George V heard someone tell him exactly how long the British Empire’s world hegemony could last!
He was only 52 years old this year, and he would only be 72 years old in twenty years. Considering that his grandmother Queen Victoria lived to be 82 years old, even if he couldn’t live that long, he should have no problem living to be 72!
So, hearing that the once-prosperous British Empire might lose its status as the world hegemon before the end of his life made King George V feel very uncomfortable.
This is his country, the foundation that his ancestors had worked so hard to build. Is it really going to be destroyed in his hands?
If the British Empire really declined in his hands, how would he face the previous kings of the empire after his death?
“Your Majesty, the twenty years is based on us doing nothing, but we are now moving the capital. Once we complete the move, the British Empire will surely return to glory!
Moreover, as long as we can unite with the Eagle Sauce to defeat Hans and completely cut off the possibility of Hans’ rise, the situation in Europe is still under our control.
As long as no one can integrate the scattered Europe, relying solely on the Eagle Sauce, it is impossible to really compete with us, because the Eagle Sauce is just a larger island after all!
No matter how rich their own resources are, their own population is always limited.
There are 2 billion people in the world, and the Eagle Sauce has only 100 million people.
So relying on their own population and land alone, they can only become a big country, not a hegemon!
And what we have to do is to use our homeland as a barrier to protect Europe, keep the Eagle Sauce’s sphere of influence out of Europe, and then use the new territory in South Asia to integrate the world island including Europe, Africa and Asia. The population of these three states adds up to more than 1.7 billion people. As long as we can integrate here, we will have a market of 1.7 billion people.
Sitting on 85 million square kilometers of land on three continents with rich resources, in this case, with only 100 million people and 9 million square kilometers of land, what can you use to compete with us?”
It is not known whether it was to appease the worries of George V, or whether Prime Minister Lloyd George himself really thought so.
In short, he painted a big pie for King George V and the entire British Empire, planning a grand plan that would continue to dominate the world and maintain their rule for 500 years!
King George V was originally very depressed, but after hearing what Prime Minister Lloyd George said, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself!
“Really? Do we really still have such an opportunity?”
If the big pie drawn by Prime Minister Lloyd George can be realized, the strength of the British Empire will be far beyond the past, and it will truly become a hegemon that controls the whole world. At that time, King George V will not only not be a king who loses his country, but will also become a great ruler who pacifies the world and dominates the world!
If he dies in the future, the emperors of all dynasties will definitely boast and praise his merits when they see him!
Thinking of this, King George V had no worries and immediately nodded and said,”Okay, in that case, I will entrust you with full authority. I’ll leave this matter to you!”
Prime Minister Lloyd George breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of the king, he could finally start to implement his plan!
……
Just as the British were discussing how to destroy the alliance between Hans and Eagle Sauce, the news also spread to Eastern Europe and the Far East.
If Starlin was very confident in his judgment before and thought he had a sure win, then when this news came, he immediately panicked!
Hans actually allied with Eagle Sauce!
This incredible thing actually happened!
What does it mean for the world that two countries ranked in the top three in the world at this time have an alliance?
One sentence to describe: a world-class earthquake that shocked the world!
The alliance between the two countries will not only completely change the geopolitics of the two countries, but also determine the direction of world history!
The strength of these two countries is so strong that if they hook up, there will be no country or organization in the world that can fight against them! The
British will not work, and the bear will not work!
If the bear and the British are combined, there may be a possibility, but considering that the West is afraid of the red bear, the alliance will not be placed in front of them as an option unless they are in a critical moment of life and death crisis!
Therefore, it is generally impossible for the two countries to form an alliance!
If they cannot form an alliance, it means that the whole world will not be able to check and balance Hans and Eagle Sauce!
This makes Starlin extremely scared!
“The situation is not good for us. Hans has formed an alliance with the Eagle Sauce. They may really no longer need our resources and food!”
Starling summoned the core leaders of the top leaders of the Bear government and held an emergency secret meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, he overturned what he had said before with a gloomy face!
When Hans turned to the Eagle Sauce to import resources and food, Starling vowed that Hans’ imports from the Eagle Sauce would not damage the interests of the Bears, and their export status of the Bears was indispensable!
The reason is that Hans has no sea power, so the import channels from the sea will definitely be cut off by the British Empire, but at this time, after Hans formed an alliance with the Eagle Sauce, Starling’s previous guarantee became a fart!
Hans’ own navy may not be able to deal with the British Empire’s Royal Navy, but if the British Empire’s Atlantic Fleet is added, it will be completely different. The British Empire will be one against two, and will be attacked from both sides by the two major powers. It is impossible for them to keep their sea power!
Once the British Empire loses its sea power, Hans’ imports from the sea will not be threatened, and they naturally don’t need to import from the Bears.
So from this point of view, Hans’ alliance with Eagle Sauce is tantamount to cutting off their financial resources, which instantly reduces their strategic position a lot, even to the point of being marginalized!
“Not only that, Hans may completely cut off exports to our country and change their policies toward our country. They may no longer cooperate with our country, but instead blockade and restrict us, acting as a barrier to Europe and blocking us in Eastern Europe!”
Marshal Tukhachevsky, known as the God of War, said worriedly:”We shouldn’t have taken such radical measures to deal with Hans before. If we hadn’t cut off Hans’ oil imports before, Hans wouldn’t have purchased these things from the Eagle Sauce, and the two countries might not have formed an alliance. In that case, our situation wouldn’t be so bad!”
Although this is the truth, it is a bit unwise to say it on such an occasion!
Because the original decision was made by Starling himself. Isn’t Marshal Tukhachevsky’s words accusing Starling of being confused?
After hearing this, Starling instantly lost her good impression of Tukhachevsky!
Thinking that this guy is an accomplice of Tolo’s driver, he immediately had a trace of murderous intent in his heart!
