“The Italians bought so many arms from Hans, are they planning to continue attacking Alba?”

In the capital of the Sun Never Sets, the Prime Minister of the Sun Never Sets was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

“That shouldn’t be the case. They don’t have a navy. In this case, they can’t even cross the Adriatic Sea, so how can they continue to attack Alba?”

The Minister of the Navy expressed doubts. Although Italy purchased a large number of arms from Hans, the Mediterranean Fleet, the sun never sets, can no longer casually stroll to the doorstep of the Italians, but their advantage at sea still exists. Even if the Italians repair the warships that were damaged in the naval battle, they will not be able to defeat the Mediterranean Fleet!

And if they can’t beat the Mediterranean Fleet, they will not be able to cross the sea to attack Alba!

“In this case, let the Gauls support the exiled government of Alba and prepare for them to restore their country!”

After confirming that Italy had no intention of continuing to attack Alba, the Prime Minister of the British Empire breathed a sigh of relief. Not long ago, their intervention army, together with the army of the Xina people, suffered a great defeat in Turkey, and after this failure, the British Empire was ready to withdraw its troops from Turkey. If they continued to fight, it would not be of any benefit to the British Empire, but would continue to consume their national strength.

Originally, the British Empire thought they were the world’s number one power. After all, they had been sitting in the position of hegemony for a long time.

But after the results of Fitch’s investigation came out not long ago, the British Empire was horrified to find that the crown of the world’s number one power had long slipped away from their hands!

Now the most powerful country in the world is not the British Empire, but the Eagle Sauce!

This result is very difficult for the British Empire to accept. They have been sitting in the position of world hegemony for hundreds of years. They have established a powerful empire spanning five continents and four oceans. Although the First World War has weakened their national strength to a certain extent, their foundation is still there!

In this case, the crown of the world’s number one superpower was actually snatched away by the Eagle Sauce. The shock and loss in the hearts of the British people can be imagined!

Although they couldn’t accept this result in their hearts, the British people quickly calmed down.

Those data will not lie, so even if they can’t accept it, these detailed data still tell them a cold fact, that is, they are no longer the best in the world!

And this cruel reality makes the British people feel a sense of crisis. They understand that if they don’t stop the endless foreign wars and quickly accumulate and restore their national strength, the gap between their strength and that of the Eagle Sauce will become farther and farther!

In this case, their position as the overlord is Sooner or later, it will be snatched away by the Eagle Sauce people!

Therefore, the Prime Minister of the British Empire suspended external military operations, stepped up negotiations with the Russian Bear, and withdrew his troops from Turkey. Even the troops they sent to Alba not long ago, the British Empire also planned to withdraw!

Moreover, these data from Fitch made the British Empire realize a huge crisis in their existence.

Although their overseas colonies are very vast, these places are just colonies after all.

If these places cannot be completely absorbed, they will never become the core land of the British Empire.

Moreover, after the First World War, the relationship between these colonies and the British Empire began to become alienated. More and more people in the colonies began to demand power from the British Empire government. They gradually had the tendency to break away from the British Empire and set up their own business!

And This situation is a fatal blow to the British. The reason why they can still be called the world hegemon at this time is entirely because they can suck blood from these colonies. If these colonies are gone, with the 24 square kilometers of land in the British mainland and a population of over 40 million, can they still maintain their position as the hegemon?

Don’t dream, it’s impossible!

Therefore, there has been a widely circulated voice within the high-level government of the British government recently. Some people suggest that the British government move the capital, either to Africa, to integrate their territory in Africa, and to make Africa their base camp!

Or move the capital to South Asia, which has a large land area, and there are towering mountains, continuous and dense tropical rainforests, and large tracts of desert in the west as barriers. There are also millions of square kilometers of plains in the interior as granaries. This place is not bad.

Another option is to move the capital to Oceania. After all, there are no enemies here at all, and the entire continent is the territory of the British!

Finally, there is a voice that the capital should be moved to North America, but this suggestion is not recognized by others at all. After all, the Eagle Sauce is in North America. It is not a good idea to go to North America to be neighbors with the Eagle Sauce!

Among the three options, the choice of Africa can only be said to be quite satisfactory. The current population of Africa is not large, only about 150 million, which is seven or eight times less than the 13 population in later generations. Moreover, the areas occupied by the British Empire are mainly in the eastern generation of Africa, including southern Africa. The population of this area is about 60 million. The British Empire can still digest and handle this population!

So if the British Empire can integrate their territory in Africa, then the British Empire can get more than 14 million square kilometers of core land, their core population will rise to more than 200 million, and the strength of the country will definitely be greatly improved.

Because there are large tracts of rainforests and plains in East Africa, as well as extremely rich mines of various types, there will be no problems in developing agriculture or industry. By then, the British Empire will be able to catch up with the gap with the Eagle Sauce in terms of population and industry!

However, moving the capital to Africa is not without problems. The biggest problem is probably that the construction cost is too high. After all, Africa is now poor and basically in a primitive state!

If Africa is to be built well, the British Empire will have to empty its capital, and it will take decades and several generations of hard work to see results. With such a long time, I am afraid that their status as the world hegemon is long gone.

Therefore, this option has not received much support. Even if people want to move the capital, they would rather move it to South Asia or Australia!

The problem with Australia is that it is too remote and too far away from other countries. Although this is of great benefit to security, if it is too far away from other countries, it will easily be isolated. The result of isolation is that the British Empire will become an alternative Qing Dynasty, passively closed to the outside world!

Therefore, the Australian option was ruled out, so there was only one choice before the Prime Minister of the British Empire, that is, to move the capital to South Asia and take the Indian territory for himself!

In fact, the idea of moving the capital to South Asia was mentioned more than 60 years ago. During the Eagle Sauce Civil War in 860, some people in the British Empire planned to take advantage of the Eagle Sauce Civil War to send troops to take back their colonies in North America and destroy the British Empire!

However, as the Eagle Sauce Civil War continued, those who watched the excitement in the British Empire were shocked by the powerful national strength that the British Empire had erupted in the war!

During the Civil War, the British Empire mobilized a total of more than 3.

5 million troops, which was more than 15% of the British Empire’s population at the time.

In this war, the North and the South often engaged in large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and they were all total wars that the British Empire had never seen!

The strong military strength and industrial strength demonstrated by the British Empire in the war made the knowledgeable people in the British Empire deeply worried.

Since that time, many people in the British Empire have clearly realized that it is only a matter of time before the British Empire surpasses the British Empire!

The British Empire wants to maintain its position as the hegemon. Unless they move their capital, find a continent to move the capital to, and then turn that continent into their own territory, and rapidly increase their population size and industrial strength, otherwise, in less than fifty years, they will be caught up and surpassed by the Eagle Sauce!

Judging from the current results, the predictions of those knowledgeable people at the time were quite accurate.

But unfortunately, their words did not attract much attention at the time. The British Empire has been indulging in its dream of being the world hegemon and did not realize the approaching danger.

At this time, when the cold data was thrown in their faces, they realized that the dream was about to turn into a nightmare!

At this time, the British Empire became anxious! _Feilu reminds you: Three things to do when reading-
