Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As Andrew said, between war and peace, Downing Street chose peace.

Facing the tough Daxia, Empire John chose to give in.

At the end of October 1910, the John Empire issued a formal apology for accidentally damaging and sinking the British Imperial transport ship in the waters of Jutland.

And compensation was made to the crew members of the Daxia Empire who were injured and killed in this incident.

No one paid compensation of 5000 pounds to the injured, which was approximately equal to 2500 imperial silver dollars, and a one-time compensation of 2 pounds to the deceased, which was approximately equal to [-] imperial silver dollars.

For the three cargo ships that were sunk, compensation was paid according to the market price, which was about 20 pounds for each ship.

This money, to be honest, is not much for an empire.

But some things cannot be measured with money.

For example, this time, the money was not much, but it was Daxia who used diplomacy to make the John Empire take the initiative to give in and bow its head.

More importantly, Bactria obtained a pretext for war against the John Empire.

Although this time Daxia chose to use money to resolve the incident, Daxia did not officially announce the end of the incident.

It just means that John Empire did the wrong thing at the wrong time, but in the end he made the right decision.

The Daxia Empire never said that this incident would end here.

Generally speaking, after the John Empire pays compensation to the Bactria Empire, Bacteria needs to make a letter of understanding indicating that the incident is over.

But Daxia only gave such an ambiguous explanation, and then Daxia began to transport war supplies normally to the John Empire.

This gave John Empire a wrong feeling, thinking that Daxia also chose to forgive.

This made Gu Xianzhi, who had prepared two speeches, sneer secretly.

He had received orders from Li Fu before, and after knowing the future trends of the empire, he wrote two speeches in his own hand.

An ambiguous statement gave John Empire the illusion that the incident was over, but in fact, Daxia still retained the right to pursue the matter.

The other is a true letter of understanding, indicating that Daxia will no longer use this incident as an excuse to hold John Empire accountable.

This is equivalent to Daxia giving up using this incident as an excuse to hold John's empire accountable.

Both speech drafts were written by Gu Xianzhi. The first one he read out at the press conference was used to test John Empire's reaction.

If John Empire objects to this, Gu Xianzhi will read out the second copy.

But in fact, after Gu Xianzhi just read out the first copy and said that the Empire would deliver supplies to the John Empire itself, the John Empire got it wrong.

After seeing that his little cleverness allowed the empire to retain the right to pursue the John Empire, Gu Xianzhi felt happy in his heart.

John Imperial Downing Street Prime Minister's Office.

Lloyd George, the Prime Minister of the John Empire, was sitting on the main seat of the Parliament. He looked at the other senior John Empire officials in the conference room and said softly: "Gentlemen, today's agenda ends here."

"Although I have said this sentence many times, I still want to repeat it here. Now is a time of war, which is related to the empire's future dominance in the world."

"It is related to the glory of His Majesty, so I hope that you can unite sincerely for the future of the empire. I hope that all departments can work closely together."

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister." Everyone responded immediately after hearing Lloyd George's words.

"Okay, everyone, go ahead and do your work. Raul, Boris, please stay for a while."

After hearing Lloyd George's words, Raul and Boris, who were already packing their things, stopped what they were doing.

After others left the conference room, Lloyd George looked at Raul and asked: "Dear Raul, is there any new development in Daxia?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, in the Far East local time, at the Daxia press conference yesterday afternoon, Daxia's spokesperson Gu Xianzhi has issued a letter of understanding." Raul, as the head of the John Empire's Military Intelligence Bureau, naturally he is very concerned about these The information is very clear.

After hearing Raul's words, Lloyd George looked at Boris aside.

"Boris, what do your general staff think of Daxia's follow-up plans?"

After hearing what Lloyd George said, Boris thought for a moment before saying: "According to our current analysis, Daxia is also trying its best to control it. They don't want to conflict with us."

"So what you're saying is, can we draw troops from Southeast Asia?" Lloyd George asked.

During this period, as the Hans Empire's attacks became more and more powerful, the John Empire felt more and more that its troops were insufficient.

Therefore, the Army has proposed several times that Parliament can order troops to be transferred from various colonies back to Europe to participate in the war.

But Lloyd refused because the current situation was unclear.

And last month, the Hans Empire, which had received supplies from Daxia, launched a series of attacks on the Gallic border.

These included attacks in Lorraine, the Ardennes, Sambre and Mons.

This series of attacks made the Gallic Empire exhausted to deal with, and now their domestic troops are almost exhausted.

So the Gallic Empire officially sent a note to the John Empire, asking the John Empire to send additional reinforcements to the Gallic Empire as agreed, otherwise the John Empire would bear all the consequences.

Faced with such a tough note from the Gallic Empire, Lloyd George had to seriously consider the matter of dispatching reinforcements from various fatal places.

Therefore, after learning that Daxia had issued a letter of understanding, he took the initiative to ask Boris about dispatching reinforcements from various places.

After hearing what Lloyd George said, Boris thought for a moment and then said to Lloyd George: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, in principle, I agree to dispatch reinforcements."

"But I still don't agree with the deployment of colonial divisions from Southeast Asia, because Southeast Asia needs to ensure the safety of Tianzhu, so if you can't move the colonial divisions from Southeast Asia, try not to move them."

"If we want reinforcements, we can mobilize them from Australia and the Maple Leaf Dominion. These two are the empire's largest overseas colonies, besides Tianzhu."

"The empire has more than 30 colonial divisions and locals in these places. If these people are gathered together, the empire can gather at least 50 reinforcements, which is enough to deal with the war near the Gallic Empire."

What Lloyd George heard from Boris also felt that it made sense. The importance of Tianzhu is obviously more important than other colonies.

Therefore, Lloyd George also felt that Boris's proposal to first mobilize reinforcements from other colonies was the safest opinion at the moment.

"Okay, if that's the case, then according to Boris's opinion, issue an order to the Maple Leaf Dominion and Australia, asking them to dispatch [-] people to Europe to participate in the empire's war against the Hans Empire."

"Okay, Prime Minister." Boris and Raul both nodded in agreement after hearing what Lloyd George said.
