“That’s right, it’s the Eagle Sauce!”
Cukil nodded. Since he became the Minister of Finance, he has been trying to get along well with the Eagle Sauce.
After all, the richest country on the planet is the Eagle Sauce.
If you want to get money, it’s impossible not to use the relationship with the Eagle Sauce!
“However, the relationship between the United States and Hans is now very close. Not only are the two countries allies, but Hans is also exporting a large number of arms and weapons to the United States. It is said that the total amount involves more than 4 billion US dollars. Under such circumstances, I don’t think the United States will agree to help us!”
Prime Minister Lloyd George was one of the three giants of the Eiffel Tower Peace Conference, and he still remembers the scene in the Eiffel Tower Peace Conference when the British Empire and the Gauls joined forces to trap the Eagle Sauce.
At that time, the British Empire might not have thought that one day in the future, they would find the Eagle Sauce again and beg them to help them!
If they could predict this in advance, they would not have done things so drastically and not given the Eagle Sauce any face at all!
Although the Eiffel Tower Peace Conference made the British Empire and the Gauls rich, divided up Hans’ colonies and plundered many of Hans’ assets.
But the Eagle Sauce itself gained nothing, which led to its lack of interest in the newly established League of Nations and ultimately did not join the League of Nations. This made the League of Nations insufficiently authoritative. After all, on the American continent, the biggest decision maker was still the Eagle Sauce. If the Eagle Sauce did not join the League of Nations, the influence of the League of Nations on the American continent would be The power is quite limited.
Unfortunately, Prime Minister Lloyd George, who wanted to suppress and exclude the Eagle Sauce at that time, never thought that there would be today, so he showed no mercy to the Eagle Sauce at the beginning, asked the Eagle Sauce to contribute money and manpower, and sent millions of troops to participate in the war, but in the end he got nothing, which led to the bankruptcy of President Will’s globalization strategy.
The result of the Eiffel Tower Conference also caused the Eagle Sauce’s hostility towards the British Empire and Gaul to rise rapidly, causing the relationship between the two countries to be very tense for a time. If Hans had not jumped out early to challenge the dominant position of the British Empire, the biggest imaginary enemy of the British Empire at this time might still be the Eagle Sauce!
In this situation, Prime Minister Lloyd George felt guilty and always felt that he had no face to ask for help from the Eagle Sauce. Even if he really showed up, the Eagle Sauce people probably wouldn’t help them!
So for Churchill’s proposal, Prime Minister Lloyd George did not immediately nod in agreement, but thought about it!
“Mr. Prime Minister, we can’t hesitate any longer. We must stop them before the Eagle Sauce and Hans reach an arms sales agreement. Otherwise, Hans may soon threaten our homeland. We are in urgent need of a new ally, an ally who can help us turn the tide!”
It is not known whether it was Chukir’s words that touched Lloyd George, or the current crisis situation that touched him. After thinking for a moment, Prime Minister Lloyd George nodded:
“Well, in that case, you should go to North America immediately and talk to Roosevelt. I have been trying to contact and win him over since two years ago, but he has never made a clear statement. Now is probably the last chance!”
Churchill gladly accepted the order, and after arranging some things, he immediately set off for North America by ship to seek the support of the United States!
In real history, when World War II broke out, in response to the unfavorable situation in Europe, Chukir also went to the United States many times to seek the support of the United States, and tried his best to promote the Lend-Lease Act to support the Allied war.
……
Attlee’s work was obviously not as smooth as Churchill’s!
The influence of the Times was too great, and the Battle of Waterloo in the Napoleonic era was almost known to everyone in the UK. So when the Times used the front-page headline to report the Royal Navy’s disastrous defeat, and also used the words”Battle of Waterloo at Sea”, the entire UK was alarmed!
People rushed to the newsstands and snapped up the Times of the day, scrambling to read the content reported in the newspaper, wanting to learn more about the Battle of the North Sea.
By the time Attlee received the order to stabilize public opinion and resolve the rumor, the news had almost spread throughout the UK! It is extremely difficult to make the people of the country believe that the report of the Times is false and a rumor!
Some lower-level people with lower education levels may still be deceived by the government’s propaganda, but those people in the upper class, who have more channels to access real intelligence, want to deceive them, it is extremely difficult!
Therefore, Attlee hurriedly issued a government statement, solemnly stating that the news in the Times was a false report and there was no such thing.
The Royal Navy not only did not fail, but also won a great victory. The reason for such false news was that the enemy deliberately spread rumors and sabotage, trying to disturb the people and interfere with the war of the sun never sets!
This statement really won the trust of the grassroots people. After hearing the government’s righteous statement, most of the people in the sun never set were relieved and recovered from their previous fear and anxiety.
While condemning the Times for spreading rumors, they did what they had to do and soon threw the matter aside!
Seeing that his first step was effective, Attlee was relieved and immediately took the second step.
He summoned the heads of major newspapers and announced the wartime news control policy to them in person, requiring them to let the government review when reporting the news to ensure that the content of their reports did not violate national security, did not leak military secrets, and would not pose a threat to the strategy of the sun never sets!
The heads of the newspapers were shocked when they heard the news!
“Mr. Attlee, do you know what you are talking about?”
Several responsible persons stared at Attlee in amazement, questioning him soul-searchingly.
“Of course, I know very well that everything I have done is for the benefit of the British Empire!”
Attlee took a deep breath. He certainly knew how great an impact his words would have.
However, he had no choice. The British Empire did suffer a disastrous defeat. At this time, they must not let these news media that only pursued interests report indiscriminately, because that would cause great panic among the people!
They were already in an unfavorable situation militarily. If there were some social unrest in the country at this time, it would be even worse!
Therefore, in order to allow the entire British Empire to concentrate all its strength on dealing with Hans’ attack, he could not tolerate the emergence of these signs of chaos in the country!
“If you don’t agree with the government’s arrangement, I’m sorry, the government will cancel your newspaper’s qualifications until you agree!”
Attlee made a very tough statement, and he didn’t seem to make any concessions.
The heads of major newspapers looked at each other.
They all felt the other party’s tough stance from Attlee’s attitude. In this case, if they continued to go against the other party, it would not be of much benefit to them, so they could only be forced to accept the government’s conditions!
Seeing that the heads of these newspapers compromised, Attlee breathed a sigh of relief!
He immediately asked these people to use the newspapers in their hands to uniformly report on the Battle of the North Sea, and to exaggerate the Battle of the North Sea into a great victory for the Royal Navy and a great defeat for the German army! As soon as the report of the British Sun came out, not only did the whole country of the British Sun boil, but even other countries in the world began to doubt it!
Hans and the British Sun announced two completely different news.
