Chapter 1149： Armistice negotiations (2/2)

1. Transfer all colonies;

2. Irish independence, Scotland independence, and Wales independence;

3. Compensation for the losses of each participating country in the Continental Alliance.

Except for the third compensation for losses, there is no specific figure and there is room for negotiation. The first two are hard and fast rules. Negotiate if you are satisfied. Negotiation is unnecessary if you are not satisfied.

If Edward VII dared to agree to such a condition, Buckingham Palace would change the owner within three days.

Even though he knew the ending was not ideal, George, who was up close, couldn't help but ask: ”Father, what did the telegram say?”

”See it for yourself!”

As Edward VII spoke, he passed the telegram over. It can be seen that he is in a very depressed mood now, and he doesn't even want to say much.

”It's impossible! It's just bullying too much, the great British Empire decided to not tolerate it...”

Before his son could confide all his heart, Edward VII interrupted: ”Don't say these are useless, they don't make any sense.

Franz dared to be so tough, not because our poor performance on the battlefield made him think that the Holy Roman Empire was a sure success.

The war broke out for more than half a year, and the empire was defeated all the way, and it had never won a major battle.

Now countries around the world have joined the Continental League one after another, and the enemy's strength is growing like a snowball. I would do the same when translocating. ”

Calmness is the greatest strength of Edward VII. Even in such an unfavorable situation, he can still think rationally without complaining.

George: ”But we...”

”No but! In this age of the weak and the strong, being weak is the greatest sin.

In the old days, when Britain was strong, it treated all countries in this way, and even acted aggressively.

Now Britain is weak and has fallen behind in international competition. Now it is our turn to be unlucky.

Unless we can make a comeback in the next war, otherwise the final armistice agreement will only be worse than this. ”

Edward VII spoke earnestly.

Hearing his father's explanation, George's brows tightened: ”This armistice treaty may not be accepted by the people. To the royal family...”

Perhaps because of tradition, Queen Victoria viewed Edward as displeasing, thinking that he was vain and difficult to be a king.

Now Edward sees his son not pleasing to his eyes, and feels even more desperate for George's ability to respond to politics.

Fortunately, Edward VII was not a traverser. Otherwise, he would have to find a way to change heirs if he knew about the divine operation of giving up the power of the monarch in George's history.

”Accept the armistice treaty”?

What a joke, how can you let the royal family do this kind of thing?

The people of the whole country can testify that since the outbreak of the war, His Majesty Edward VII fell ill and all government affairs were entrusted to the cabinet government.

Those with a little bit of political mind know that not only power is entrusted, but also responsibility.

From beginning to end, Edward VII did not participate in this war. Even if they want to do something, they are approved for vesting.

Since he did not participate, no matter how serious the consequences, the royal family will not be involved, and all the responsibilities belong to the cabinet government.

Contacting the Habsburgs now is nothing more than adding a piece of insurance to ensure that the royal family will not be liquidated after the defeat.

...

The capitalists want to run away, the royal family and the nobles are busy preparing for the back road, and the London government dancing on the eggs once again ushered in bad news.

On October 2, 1905, the battle of the Indochina Peninsula, which lasted for four months, came to an end. Britain suffered another horrific defeat, and the mainland coalition forces swept all the way to Burma, and their troops were directed at India.

It was too late to grieve. On October 7, 1905, the Suez Canal, which had been blocked for nearly a year, resumed navigation.

The joint fleet can go east freely, and the biggest problem that restricts the mainland's coalition forces from attacking India-logistics, can be solved by sea.

The joint fleet daring to divide its forces does not mean that the Royal Navy can divide its forces. You must know that taking the Mediterranean Sea Route is not a bit closer than the Royal Navy that detours.

Once the royal army is divided, 100% will be taken advantage of by the combined fleet to catch them by surprise, threatening the safety of the homeland.

However, regardless of the separation of troops and reinforcements, the connection between India and the mainland was severed, and we had to fight alone.

Think about the Indian Colonial Army vs. the European Union Army, how miserable the scene is. Without India, would there be an ”empire” in the British Empire?

What is before the British government is: ”India” or ”local”. There is no doubt that this is a proposition.

Without waiting for the British government to make a choice, the Ocean Alliance countries that were still hesitating made a decision in an instant-disembark and disembark at all costs.

Even if Japan and the United States have not negotiated the conditions, they cut off with the British in the first place, in order to minimize the fact that they are hostile to the Continental Alliance.

Everyone has quit, and the lonely John Bull will naturally not be able to fight. If you don’t negotiate while you still have some capital in your hands, you will drag it back...
