Iron Germany

The second meeting between US Secretary of State Bryan and British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray still took place at night. Under the cover of night, many secret things are easier to talk about.

At the same time, Sir Edward Gray's rebellion against the United States this time needs to be kept secret. The Americans and the Germans do not want the Germans to know that the United States is still hooking up with the United Kingdom at this juncture.

The sale of warships by the United States to Britain has already made the Germans gnash their teeth in hatred. If it weren't for the war against Britain that was about to start, and Germany's national strength could not continue to be depleted, maybe Germany would go to war against the United States. Therefore, Americans do not want to over-stimulate the Germans. The current United States does not have enough strength to deal with the Germans.

"Your Excellency Secretary of State, Your Excellency the President has promised not to object to the relocation of the British government to Canada. Of course, the prerequisite is that after the fall of the British mainland. If you can keep the mainland, this will be void!" Bryan said.

"Of course, Your Excellency, Secretary of State, we will do our best to keep the mainland. We will only move to Canada when the mainland falls and it is a last resort!" Sir Edward Gray said.

Even though the British mainland is very likely to be destroyed in the next war, from the perspective of the British, their homeland is naturally better. If it is not a last resort, they will not leave the mainland and flee to Canada. But they will not give up as long as there is a slight possibility to defend the homeland.

Bryan nodded: "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in this case, it is naturally the best!"

"Your Excellency the Secretary of State, what about the two of us joining forces to deal with Germany? Has Your Excellency the President agreed?" Sir Edward Gray said. Compared with the previous question, this question is what he really cares about.

Although Canada has a vast area, its population is too small. With only a few million people, it is almost impossible for Canada to develop and resist the German attack. Therefore, if the British government wants to move from the mainland to Canada and resist the pursuit of the Germans, it must obtain the support of the Americans. Otherwise, they would not be able to gain a foothold in America at all, let alone seek revenge from the Germans. Leaving the mainland, the British government can only linger on. They no longer have the strength to defeat the Germans. In this world, except for the United States, no other country seems to have that kind of strength. This made the British try their best to unite with the United States. Only in this way can they hope for revenge.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Your Excellency the President does not quite agree with the alliance with the United Kingdom. After all, if the United Kingdom loses its homeland, its strength will be greatly damaged. Not only will it not gain much benefit from joining with you, but it will also bear huge risks. This It's a little too cost-effective." Brian said.

A trace of shame and anger flashed across Sir Edward Gray's face. These country bumpkin Americans dared to look down on the British Empire. To them, this was a complete humiliation.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, after losing our homeland, our strength is indeed greatly reduced. However, we also have the ability to help the United States become stronger. Therefore, it is absolutely cost-effective to cooperate with us!" Sir Edward Gray said.

Bryan nodded: "Yes, I think so too. The military also thinks so. Therefore, Your Excellency the President did not refuse. The military hopes that the United Kingdom can share the design drawings of aircraft carriers and aircraft and related technologies, For example, the technology of aero engines, as well as the design drawings and engine technology of new tanks, are transferred to the United States. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Army can be greatly improved. In the future, it will be more sure to resist the German attack Already!"

Sir Edward Gray was taken aback for a moment, he knew that the Americans were making a request. If the United Kingdom cannot meet these requirements, then the so-called alliance cannot proceed at all.

"Your Excellency, these are the most cutting-edge technologies of the British Empire. We have invested huge manpower and financial resources for these technologies!" Sir Edward Gray said.

"We know, that's why we are very interested in those technologies. The stronger the United States, the better for Britain. If we can defeat the Germans in foreign wars, Britain can return to its homeland It is," Brian continued.

Sir Edward Gray thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I agree. If the United States is willing to ally with the United Kingdom, then the British Empire is willing to share those cutting-edge technologies with the United States."

"Very good, I believe this will allow us to learn from each other's strengths. The strength of our two countries will increase rapidly. By then, the possibility of us defeating the Germans will be even greater." Bryan Very happy.

"The Germans are the common enemy of our two countries. Naturally, we should do our best to defeat them!" Sir Edward Gray said.

"Your Excellency, the U.S. government still has a small request. If the government can agree, then the U.S. government will formally form an alliance with the United Kingdom." Bryan continued.

"Speak, Your Excellency!" Sir Edward Gray said seriously.

"Your Excellency, the American government hopes that the British Empire can transfer its colonies in the Middle East to the United States. Compared with the huge colonies of the British Empire, the American colonies are pitifully small. If the United States wants to help Britain defeat Germany, it will need to pay a huge price. So, we hope the colonies in the Middle East will be our reward!" Bryan said.

Sir Edward Gray's face was not very good-looking. The British Empire has always regarded their overseas colonies as their lifeblood. Now, the British want to seize their colonies, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to them.

However, Sir Edward Gray also knew that the Americans were determined to win the colonies in the Middle East. If they don't agree, the alliance may be ruined.

It is still very cost-effective to exchange colonies in the Middle East for an alliance with the United States. After all, the colonies in the Middle East are not of much value, and almost all of them are barren land. The Americans are still sensible and have not made demands on the core colonies of the United Kingdom.

"Well, Your Excellency Secretary of State. Once we defeat the Germans, the British Empire promises to transfer the Middle East colonies to the United States!" said Sir Edward Gray.

"Then, we have a happy cooperation!" Brian smiled and stretched out his hand.

The two hands are tightly held together, and the United States and the United Kingdom have officially formed an alliance.
