Iron Germany
Chapter 1598 Changes in Britain
"Your Excellency, the British Navy has also made great achievements in aircraft carriers. Now, they have eight aircraft carriers in service. Although they are all medium-sized aircraft carriers, they can only carry forty or fifty carrier-based aircraft. But if they can cooperate If we fight, it will be better than nothing." Admiral Harold Stark said.
Unlike the U.S. Navy, which focuses on developing large aircraft carriers, the British Navy prioritizes the development of medium-sized aircraft carriers. So far, there have been eight medium-sized aircraft carriers. Moreover, the "Giant-class" aircraft carriers that are about to be mass-produced are also medium-sized aircraft carriers. It can be seen that the British Navy has great confidence in these medium-sized aircraft carriers. Otherwise, huge resources would not be invested in this area.
"The British Air Force also has a very strong force. There are more than 2,000 combat aircraft such as fighter jets and bombers!" Admiral Marshall said.
"The British have a powerful army and navy. Although they can't compare with us, they can't fight against Germany. However, if they can fully cooperate with us, let alone resist the German attack in North America. It's possible." The Hopkins consultant also said.
President Roosevelt nodded. The powerful army that the British have rebuilt over the past two decades is indeed what the Americans covet. If these British military forces can be put into the war against Germany, it will be very useful to resist the German attack.
"No matter what, Britain is our ally. When they fled from the British Isles to Canada, we provided them with asylum, which allowed them to survive in Canada. They also promised to form a partnership with us. Allies. Now is the time for them to fulfill their covenant. We need to let them know that there is no other choice now, and they must cooperate with us to resist the German invasion!" President Roosevelt said.
"Your Excellency Hopkins, go to Toronto and talk to His Excellency Churchill. I hope that His Excellency Churchill can make the right choice." President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Advisor Hopkins nodded.
After leaving the White House, Hopkins flew to Toronto that afternoon.
Toronto is not far from New York, so Hopkins soon appeared in the new British Prime Minister's Office.
"Hello Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as handsome as ever!" Hopkins smiled.
"Hello, advisor, you are still the same!" Churchill said with a smile.
After fleeing to Canada from the British Isles, Churchill took control of the government. Even, they took the counterattack of the British Isles as their goal, which allowed Churchill to take the opportunity to strengthen his control over the army and the government, and completely control the power of the country. More than 20 years later, Churchill still holds the highest power in this country. Even the British King George VI is nothing more than a puppet without any real power.
"Please take a seat, Your Excellency the Advisor."
After exchanging pleasantries, the conversation between the two gradually got to the point.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the news that our navy suffered heavy losses in the Azores naval battle must be very clear to you," Hopkins said.
Churchill nodded. The U.S. Navy suffered a disastrous defeat in the naval battle of the Azores and suffered huge losses. The news was clear from the British side. It is precisely because of this that the ministers of the British government were scared enough. Before, they all believed that the U.S. Navy still had a great chance of winning. After all, the U.S. Navy is so powerful now. However, the final result was unexpected.
Before the U.S. Navy launched the Azores naval battle, the British government also guessed the American plan through clues. However, they remained silent. The British hope that the Americans can fight the Germans desperately, so that they can reap the benefits. Even, the British Navy is ready. Once the U.S. Navy wins the Azores naval battle, the Royal Navy will immediately rush to the British Isles to prepare for the recovery of the British Isles. But after the news of the fiasco of the US Navy came, all the actions of the Royal Navy died down.
At the same time, senior officials of the British government began to doubt whether the United States could win this war. In other words, the United States and its allies, that is, all countries including the United Kingdom, are not the opponents of the Germans. If they fail, their dream of regaining the British Isles will be in vain. Not only that, I am afraid that even Canada will not be spared.
When the British government first fled to Canada, they were still thinking about counterattacking the British Isles. However, after more than two decades, not many people have such ambitions anymore. After all, Canada's geographical conditions are much better than those of the British Isles. If you can live here forever, many British people must be willing. Instead of fighting the Germans desperately and not knowing whether they will succeed, it is better to extinguish the unrealistic delusions and stay in Canada honestly.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the British government was less active after the outbreak of this world war.
"Your Excellency, I am deeply saddened by the failure of your country's navy. The strength of the German navy has become stronger after more than 20 years of development. It is even more difficult for us to defeat the German navy. And If the German navy cannot be defeated, it will naturally mean nothing to gain command of the Atlantic Ocean and counterattack the European continent. It can be said that the Germans are already invincible in this war." Prime Minister Churchill said.
When he learned that the US envoy was coming to Toronto, Churchill had expected that the Americans would definitely want to persuade them to fulfill the treaty. Churchill, however, had his own concerns.
The Hopkins consultant nodded: "Yes, the German navy is very powerful, there is no doubt about it."
"Your Excellency, Russia has also been defeated by the Germans. Now, the Germans have de facto monopolized the European continent. This will make the Germans have no other threats. They can concentrate on using all their strength to deal with Other enemies. This is not a good thing for us. Even if we unite to counter Germany, which has unified the entire European continent, it may be very difficult!" Prime Minister Churchill continued.
The Hopkins adviser nodded in agreement with Churchill.
