Chapter 2147： The post-war world

Of course, it takes time to break this kind of ice that has been frozen for more than ten years, and it also requires mutual effort. For the United Kingdom, the thawing of relations with the United States is a good thing in the long run. The cooperation between the United States and Germany is not long. There has always been wary between the two sides. According to Ruprecht’s estimation, if the Pacific War comes to an end, I am afraid The honeymoon period between the two parties is coming to an end. At that time, when there are no checks and balances between each other, the United States will definitely start playing the so-called continental balance policy like the British. If the French surrender to Germany, then the only Western European powers that the Americans can win The British are now, and the British will naturally ally with the Americans in order to fight against Germany. If this happens, Germany will be in a big trouble!

But in the short term, if the British choose to ease the relationship with the Americans, then this side effect will be very big! The Americans are not stupid. If the British want to ease relations with the Americans, they must do something practical. For the United States at war in the Pacific, the greatest value of the United Kingdom is only Australia and Britain’s forefront of the Pacific. base.

However, if the British choose to stand on the side of the Americans, they will naturally stand on the opposite side of the Japanese! It is necessary for the Japanese to take revenge, even against British colonization in Southeast Asia! At this time, can the British use force to defend their rights? The answer is somewhat difficult! Not to mention that the war has just ended, the British need to lick their wounds, nor that after the Great Britain-Germany North Sea War, the Royal Navy will have a few warships left. It is simply that the British compensation to Germany will be for the British after the war. That is a great burden!

You know, Ruprecht’s plan is to start the UK with at least £200 million in compensation every year! This is the currency value before the war! Every pound should contain more than 7 grams of gold! And Germany has enough power to let the British match the money even when they are pants! Well, a simple question is here, where does the British get their money to pay for war expenses while paying indemnities?

As for it, is it okay to let the Americans help in advance? This is feasible in theory, but in reality it is also very difficult. After all, war is to fight money. Americans must spend a lot of ocean warfare, while British people are not as simple as tens of millions of dollars! It is an annual indemnity of up to 200 million yuan, and there is interest year by year! Why did the United States give the British 500 million dollars a year during the war? Just for some forward base? This is obviously a losing business! If you give it to the Germans, the prince can guarantee that the Japanese fleet will not have to worry about the Americans. The High Seas Fleet will take care of it for you!

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, the British lacked resistance to the risks of the Far East, and at the same time they lacked sufficient benefits to be transferred to the Americans. It can even be said that if the United Kingdom is prepared to cooperate with the Americans, I am afraid that before the two sides sign an agreement, Japan will have already taken part in the British colonization of the Pacific region, right? It is bragging to say that Australia is taken down, but there is no problem at all to take down the area on the island of New Guinea. There are also Sarawak in the northwestern part of Kalimantan (the later East Malaysia) and Malay in the Southeast Peninsula. Asia (West Malaysia in later generations) is the purification of the colonies of the British Empire, so if the British want to rely on the Americans, they must consider the loss of their colonial rights!

Of course, in the short term, the British feel that easing relations with the United States does not have much benefit or that it is difficult to approach the two sides because of excessive pressure, but it reduces the possibility of the United States and Britain approaching. The two sides can actually cooperate in some aspects. For example, there were still American businessmen and British people doing business during the war. The United Kingdom can persist to this day and still not be trapped in the partial blockade of German submarines that are more powerful than in history. Death, the Americans still made great contributions.... The United States is not just sending supplies to Germany!

So, in order to prevent the two sides from getting closer, Ruprecht still has something to do! That is to allow Britain and Japan to continue to maintain their friendship in this war! That's right, to put it plainly is to inherit the international relations from the Battle of the Philippines once again. The British help the Japanese and the Germans help the Americans!

In the short term, it is the most cost-effective for the British to help the Japanese. The Japanese will need a lot of materials, transportation and weapons to fight the United States. And the British can give these things, such as Sarawak’s rubber, tin ore and non-ferrous metals, oil, British navy warships and post-war surplus supplies, as well as Britain’s powerful shipbuilding capabilities and remaining fleet. It is of great strategic significance to Japan, especially the remaining materials after the war. In fact, whether it is the battleships of the large fleet or the artillery of the army, it is more like a burden to the British after the war. As for the Japanese, they can exchange a large amount of real money for these somewhat outdated British things ~ www.novelhall.com~ Japanese industry can't compare with the British after all.

So, Britain and Japan each got what they needed. The British provided Japan with weapons, materials and technology, while the Japanese sent the money they earned in the war to the British pockets! As for what Americans would think? There are certain ideas, but they will never be implemented! The Americans can’t use their limited fleet to attack Japan in the Pacific and Britain in the Atlantic, right? And Ruprecht is also happy to see such a result! It is Germany's consistent policy to make the distance between the United States and Britain as large as possible! Therefore, even if Germany is able to stop it, Ruprecht will not do it. It can even be said that the confrontation between the Anglo-Japanese alliance and the US-German alliance is very important for maintaining the situation in the Far East and maintaining Germany’s better foreign strategic system. Significance.......

Well, according to this principle, in Ruprecht’s setting, Britain cannot be too weak. The British must realize that although they have lost this time, they still have the possibility to stand up again, even if this Just a phantom! If the British were so weakened and they chose to yield, and even willing to give up the Far East and Oceania, then they would not have any pressure to surrender to the Americans, just like France, which has decided to become a second-rate country, is willing to give up its hostility to Germany!

Therefore, it is from this starting point that Ruprecht is willing to let the British retain most of India. Even if the war is won, Germany will not consider moving the whole of India in a short time-the most dazzling crown of the British Empire. The pearl! At least leave some thoughts and coffins for the British Empire.
