“Ladies and Gentlemen, what do you think of the current situation?”

Although he knew that many people present were very dissatisfied with him, Prime Minister Lloyd George could not jump out and quarrel with them at this time. He could only pretend that he did not see it, skipped these people, and directly talked about the agenda of this meeting.

Since no one spoke, he would speak himself.

This matter cannot be dragged on forever. Whether to fight or not, he must express his position to everyone. In this way, Prime Minister Lloyd George will have some idea in his mind. At least he can know the real thoughts in everyone’s hearts, which is of great significance to his next decision.

“”Mr. Prime Minister, do we have any other choice right now?”

The leader of the opposition heard Lloyd George’s words and spoke very impolitely.

Lloyd George was a little angry, but he knew that now was not the time to get angry. If he got angry now, everyone would probably quickly start a civil strife, and then things would be impossible to settle.

So, he patiently said,”We really don’t have many choices. According to the current situation, Hans has slowed down the attack. He is not in a hurry to go north or south, but he has sent out the air force to burn our wheat fields. This is to implement the prison tactics to the end. They plan to trap us completely and let us starve to death, and then go south while we have no power to fight back, wipe out all resistance in one fell swoop, and completely occupy the entire British Empire!”

This sentence is true, and precisely because it is true, everyone fell silent after hearing the words of Prime Minister Lloyd George.

This reality is too heavy, so heavy that no one knows what to say.

“If we fight with them, we will get hurt if we stick our heads out, and we will get hurt if we hide our heads. In this case, we might as well fight with them. While our army still has the strength to fight, I think we should take the initiative to attack southwards and drive all the German troops in the south into the sea. As long as we inflict heavy damage on the German troops in one direction and resolve the situation of being attacked from all sides, maybe we can still fight this war!”

The attitude of the powerful representatives of the military was very tough. That was to fight to the death. Before they completely lost their combat capability, they had to fight the enemy fiercely. Regardless of winning or losing, they had to fight once, otherwise they could only wait for a slow death. This was too frustrating for the soldiers!

They would rather fight to the death, even if there was only a 10% chance. It was better to fight once than to sit and wait for death!

Although Prime Minister Lloyd George did not quite agree with the military’s point of view, it was at least a point of view, so he nodded, wrote down the military’s statement, then glanced at the others and asked,”What do you think?”

At present, only the military has expressed its position. If no one speaks up, then it is likely that the plan proposed by the military will be implemented. This is good news for others.

Therefore, some people who did not intend to speak up or were still hesitating before no longer hesitated, and began to stand up and express their opinions one by one!

“I think this is not a good idea. We have tried to take the initiative before, but ended up in a disastrous defeat. The German army in the north has more than one million soldiers, three armies, and Model, who is best at defense, and his Second Army. If we attack to the north, the gains will outweigh the losses. If we attack from all sides, we can only attack from the south!”

“However, Guderian in the south is not so easy to provoke.

I think you have all seen how powerful his First Army is.

If we take the initiative to attack such a strong army, I think it is a joke with the lives of the soldiers.

The possibility of winning is extremely small, but the probability of losing is very high.

If we lose, it is hard to say whether the German army will continue to besiege us like this.

If they think we have no combat effectiveness and take the initiative to attack us from the south, can we resist it?”

Some people advocate war, and naturally some people advocate peace.

However, those who advocate peace did not dare to propose peace talks at the beginning, so they had to refute the views of the war faction and make the war faction’s suggestions be refuted without any merit. When everyone is helpless, naturally someone will think of peace talks!

“Yes, that makes sense. The First Army is strong, and the Sixth Army is not a pushover. In addition, the south is very close to the European continent. If the German army wants to support here, they can transport hundreds of thousands of troops within a few days. By then, our troop strength may be at a disadvantage, and the active attack will become an active suicide. Once our troops suffer too many casualties, the German army will definitely attack our capital!”

The views of the war faction were refuted by the two people one after another, and the military was naturally unhappy.

“So tell me, what good ideas do you have? Are you going to just keep waiting like this until our food runs out and we all starve to death?”

This is not wrong. Whether to fight or make peace must be determined as soon as possible. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

If they choose to negotiate with Hans at this time, Hans may offer some more favorable conditions for them, taking into account that their millions of troops still have the strength to fight, and they can also fight for decent treatment.

But if they continue to drag it out, as their food supplies are exhausted, their strength will decline rapidly, and by then Hans may not be so polite to them, and may even ignore them!

“I think we should follow the example of the Gauls!”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at the person who spoke.

After seeing this person, everyone remembered his name – Chamberlain!

“How to emulate it?”

After the Gallic Campaign, Gaul, led by Marshal Pétain, surrendered to Hans, and was then taken over by Hans, leaving them only a small part of the territory for them to continue to manage, and other areas became Hans’ military occupation zones.

Although these places still belonged to Gaul in name, and Hans promised not to split Gaul, in fact, these places were actually controlled by Hans. Gaul had no control over these areas, and they themselves were just a puppet state supported by Hans. The

British Empire certainly did not want such an ending to happen to them!
