“The British Empire recently sent three expedition teams to South Asia, Africa and Australia respectively. They seem to be planning to speed up the pace of moving the capital!”The
British Empire’s actions in Mainz have long been closely watched by Himmler, especially the possible relocation of the capital by the British Empire.
In history, the British Empire had once thought of this idea, but it was not realized in the end. Now, in order to compete with the Eagle Sauce in North America, the British Empire has once again brought up this idea, trying to leave this isolated island in mainland Europe and find a larger continent to establish its capital on the continent.
If their plan succeeds, then the British Empire will no longer be restricted by the narrow area of its mainland, and will have more resources and space to increase its population and develop its industry!
For Hans and even the whole of Europe, this strategic shift of the British Empire has a great impact.
After all, when the British Empire was in Europe,���To safeguard the interests of their homeland, they must ensure that their navy can control the waters around their homeland, which greatly compresses the maritime interests of other countries on the European continent!
If the British successfully relocated their capital, the influence of the British homeland within the British Empire would surely decline greatly. At that time, the main fleet of the Royal Navy would probably not stay in the British homeland, but would go to the New World where their capital is located to protect the safety of their capital!
Once the main force of the Royal Navy leaves, the pressure on these European countries threatened by the powerful navy of the British homeland will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the influence of the British homeland in Europe will inevitably decline. European countries may have to choose a new object that they can rely on or even ally with!
This situation is actually very beneficial to traditional European powers like Gaul and Hans.
Therefore, Mainz is actually happy to see the British move their capital!
However, this matter feels a bit strange. Two years ago, he had received news that the British government had discussed the possibility of moving the capital, but later it was left unresolved.
Last year, with the exposure of the strength of the United States, this voice reappeared, but it also did not last long. The British were like a child who was only interested for a short time, and soon forgot about it.
This time, they not only discussed the matter internally, but also began to take action, and actually began to send expedition teams to three important colonies for investigation, which shows that they are beginning to take it seriously.
At least, this action showed Mainz the determination of the British!
“Could it be that the British were provoked by something? Otherwise, why did they act so vigorously this time and start investigating the actual situation of the colonies without saying a word? It looks like they are serious!”
Ribbentrop was a little surprised. He supported his chin and tried to recall the process of his contact with the British politicians when he attended the talks in Fog City before, trying to find a clue from his contact with those people.
“Is it because of us?”
Goebbels couldn’t help but look at Mainz, their new president.
Perhaps, the British reacted so strongly because President Mainz’s words in his previous speech were too tough, so that the British felt a little uneasy. In order to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket, they wanted to speed up the plan and finalize the relocation of the capital as soon as possible!
For the British, as long as they successfully moved the capital, the status of Europe in their country would be downgraded. By then, even if a war really broke out in Europe, the British would have much more room for choice and there was no need to participate in a new war!
“I think the problem should still be with the Eagle Sauce, right?”
Mainz’s mind was still very clear, and he was overwhelmed by the current situation.
Hans’s threat is certainly not, compared with the threat of the Eagle Sauce, Hans’s threat to the British Empire is actually much smaller!
Of course, if the British Empire is really determined to move the capital, then Hans must have played a key role in it!
“By the way, General, the British have contacted us through private channels. They seem to want to test our bottom line!”
Himmler thought of something and said to Mainz.
Everyone present was the confidant of Mainz and the Forward Party, so Himmler did not hide it from these people when reporting intelligence.
Of course, he would not casually tell some of the most critical core intelligence. Such intelligence can only be handed over to President Mainz alone, and even he himself cannot easily check it!
“Oh? Interesting, what bottom line do they want to know about us?”
Hearing Himmler’s words, Mainz immediately became interested.
The alliance between the British Empire and the Gauls to deal with Hans is actually a very troublesome thing.
Although Mainz is confident that he can defeat these two countries, if these two countries join hands, their population is almost the same as Hans, and their industrial strength is stronger. In addition, they both have a large number of colonies and a large number of colonial cannon fodder. They can completely capture the people in the colonies and let them replace their own youth to fight the enemy and serve as cannon fodder.
Therefore, if you want to defeat these two countries without paying too much, the best way is to divide and disintegrate them.
Compared with Hans’s arch-enemy the Gauls, the main contradiction between the British Empire and Hans is actually on the ocean, not on the European continent, so they have a basis for negotiation!
“They want to know whether we firmly oppose them to guarantee the independence of Czechoslovakia!”
Hearing Himmler’s words, Mainz immediately thought of the four words”appeasement policy” in his mind!
Historically, the Czechs were also sold out by the British Empire and the Gauls. In order to protect their own interests and prevent their country from being involved in a meaningless war, the British Empire sold out the Czechs without any hesitation! The poor Czechs did n’t even enter the meeting room, sitting on the bench outside. The fate of their country has been completely arranged!
“General, I think there is a lot to be done here!”
Hearing Himmler’s words, Ribbentrop immediately stood up and said anxiously.
Mainz nodded.
He also realized the intention of the British Empire.
They might want to use the exchange of interests to resolve the contradiction between themselves and Hans, so as to try not to let Hans run to the side of their enemies!
The national strength of the British Empire is not as good as that of the Eagle Sauce in North America.
If Hans stabs them in the back while they are competing with the Eagle Sauce for the position of world hegemony, then the British Empire will be very uncomfortable, and will fail in the competition with Hans because of being attacked from all sides!
In order to avoid losing hegemony and letting the entire British Empire fall apart, making certain compromises with Hans in exchange for Hans’ support seems to be a good deal.
“Well, this is indeed a good deal, but I think we should not be so anxious to make a deal. Even business people know that they have to wait for the right price, so why can’t we do the same?”
Mainz smiled and said to Ribbentrop,”Well, you set off to North America and find a way to meet with President Harding of the Eagle Sauce to see what his attitude is. Although this guy is sometimes very unreliable, I think there must be a group of reliable people in the top government of their country!
So as long as you arrive in North America, even if you don’t go to them, they will take the initiative to come to you!”
The countries competing for world hegemony right now are the British Empire and the Eagle Sauce, and Hans is not a competitor.
So for these two countries, it is of great significance to win over Hans, who ranks third in strength, and gain his support!
It can be said that whoever can gain Hans’ support will have the upper hand in the competition. After all, whether it is the British Empire or the Eagle Sauce, the gap in strength between them has not widened, at least not as big as Hans.
So no matter which side Hans joins, it will definitely change the balance of power between the two sides!
