This is not the first time this crown prince has used such a brilliant strategy. Thinking about the current situation of the Allied Powers, half of the reasons are attributed to the naval battle in the Philippines more than ten years ago! To be honest, the British really regret it now. Even if they abandoned Japan at that time and let the Russians kill Japan, the situation in Britain would definitely not be as bad as it is now! At that time, Britain was subjectively not planning to offend the United States!

But subjectively, there is no intention to offend, but it does not mean that objectively, it will not offend objectively... Everything seemed to be accidental. The United States and Japan almost both took advantage of the Philippines colony at the same time, and by chance, the two countries took action at the same time! Prime Minister Asquis believed that with the strength and mentality of the Japanese at that time, although the Japanese fleet had advantages at that time, they would not take the initiative to offend such a big country. What's the result? Things are unpredictable, and the two sides seemed to fight for no reason! To outsiders, this tm is too intimate?

But in the eyes of Prime Minister Asquis, there must be a driving force behind all this! Some people have learned about the ideas of the United States and Japan, and can even predict the strategies and plans of both sides. There may be luck in the Philippine naval war, but there must be instructions on the general strategy!

Unlike the confusing battle in the Philippines, the German plan this time was very obvious. Prime Minister Asquis had to admire the vision and skills of Crown Prince Ruprecht. Before the war ended, the three carriages of the Allied Kingdom had been completely separated! However, now it is not time to care about these things. It is a foregone conclusion that the French betrayed Britain. There is even almost no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides in the future. Betrayed by allies, causing millions of British troops to lose. This hatred is much more than the Philippines naval battle in the past! Look at the current relationship between the United States and Japan, and then look at Britain and France... Haha.

"We will consider the peace talks, but there will be no result in a short period of time. The Germans cannot kill us completely this time, and the Americans will not allow it. But I feel that the Germans still plan to eat our expeditionary force." Asquis said carefully.

What does this passage mean? The potential meaning is that even if the Germans want to negotiate, they will probably only negotiate after destroying the British Expeditionary Force! In the eyes of the Germans, the eradication of the British Expeditionary Force is not a bargaining chip, but an opportunity to consume Britain's national strength!

Moreover, this kind of national strength consumes more terrible than simple capital and colonial consumption! Because it consumes people! A person who needs to grow for 18 years and needs to consume a lot of social resources during growth! What is the most important thing in the 21st century is talents, but in fact the same is true in the 20th century! The casualties of millions of people are enough to greatly damage the vitality of a country of this size in the UK, because you are losing young and middle-aged people, a large number of technicians, and a group of people who are most willing to contribute and have a rest with the country!

The Germans did not destroy the current Britain, but to destroy the future of Britain! And Asquith believed that the Americans would definitely be happy to see this scene! So, if you want to rely on negotiations to save the British Expeditionary Force, you should take a shower and go to bed. The Germans are here to kill people this time! Of course, if you want to say whether there is a way to save without negotiation? Of course, there is one, so just surrender.

But if you use your brain, as an empire at the peak of the world, it is quite embarrassing that your army will surrender tens of thousands of people. (Note the difference between surrender and being captured. The former is proactive, while the latter is passive.) More than 100,000 people were captured, which is enough to make the British Empire lose face. If you surrender millions of troops? Please, I guess the coffin boards of Dukes Wellington and Duke Iron will not be able to suppress them! I am afraid that Lord Nelson of the Navy will jump out of the coffin and say: It’s so embarrassing, quit the group quickly!

"Then the only way we can now is to withdraw our troops?" asked Marshal Heg.

"Yes, it's just withdrawing troops. Tell me your needs. The Empire will try its best to help you evacuate from France." Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Okay, I will report the relevant matters soon," Marshal Heg said with a wry smile. Although he said that, to be honest, from a professional perspective, Marshal Heg knew that many people would not be able to withdraw! Conservatively estimated that 60% of the people would eventually stay on the land of France!

However, the facts later prove that Marshal Heg’s idea was still too optimistic, and it could even be said to be too naive. Since the English Channel can be used as the last barrier for the British, sometimes it will become the home of the British! You can see the opposite hometown, but you just can’t go back! Of course, this is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now!

In just a few words, the core task of the British on the Western Front was finalized, that was to run away, but it was easy to say and difficult to do. That night, General Jericho, the commander of the Great Fleet, rushed back to London at night to participate in the withdrawal of troops. The British government also issued a rare order to the whole country, requiring the recruitment of all idle ships in the country, and even sampan kayaking! The reason is very simple. If you want to withdraw troops, how many people can you withdraw from Dunkirk Port? If necessary, let the soldiers go directly to the beach and use small boats to transport them to ships that cannot be docked! The traffic boats on the warships sometimes do this!

"Commander Jericho, the Empire will never allow millions of troops to be annihilated. The British Expeditionary Force is an indispensable part of the Empire, so we must do our best." Asquis met Jericho with fatigue. Asquis said as soon as both sides met.

"The Navy will send warships into the Dover Strait, but at present, we can only send destroyers and light cruisers. Battleships do not have a great role in the strait, but are the most easily attacked targets. They are the world of the Luftwaffe during the day, and we can only act at night, and before the fleet officially enters, we have a lot to do. Part of the minefields and anti-submarine networks that were laid on the Dover Strait need to be demolished." Jericho said.

"So what if the anti-submarine network and minefield are removed, then what if the German submarines and destroyers pour into the strait in large quantities?" Asquith said with a frown.

"This is another problem. Although the lightning anti-submarine network and minefield we set did not destroy many German submarines, it effectively curbed their activity frequency. Now, if we want to destroy this system ourselves, the German Navy will definitely take advantage of the situation. Believe me, Prime Minister, in the future, the Dover Strait will definitely be a bloody storm!" Jericho said.
