Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Gallic Empire, Paris, temporary residence of the royal family of John.

George V held the document of understanding he had just reached with Lin Yi in his hand, and the expression on his face kept changing.

David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of John's Empire, was sitting on the sofa nearby, smoking a cigar in his hand, and his face didn't look too good.

To be honest, Prime Minister George has already read this document of understanding between the two parties. Although there is nothing wrong with this document, it is still very embarrassing for the John Empire, an established power.

After all, this battle forced the John Empire to abandon the entire Southeast Asia region, retaining only Tianzhu.

For John Empire, which fights on multiple fronts, this can be said to be the best ending so far.

But it was also because of this that the John Empire lost South East Asia and the forces of Daxia surrounded Tianzhu.

At the same time, Australia was also facing the military peak of Daxia, facing the Sumatra Islands controlled by Daxia across the sea.

It can be said that the century-old layout of the John Empire in the Far East was basically ineffective after the end of World War I, and the John Empire also became a joke.

But what can Empire John do?

There is nothing the John Empire can do now. At this time, the Daxia Empire has grown and become a behemoth.

Even if the John Empire goes all out to deal with Daxia, it will not be easy. Unless they can form an alliance together against the Daxia Empire, any country facing Daxia alone will suffer a disastrous defeat.

This kind of disastrous defeat is not just a disastrous defeat on land.

With the information sent back by the John Empire sent back to Lin Yi's escort fleet, the current senior leaders of the John Empire have learned some data about the latest model battleships of the Daxia Empire.

Just the data they learned shocked the entire John Empire's top brass.

It has a displacement of 6 to 7 tons, a huge hull, and a terrifying main gun caliber.

Although the internal structure of this kind of battleship is not yet known, the appearance and the battleship's record alone shocked the John Empire, which has always been dominated by sea power.

King George V pinched his eyebrows and then put down the document of understanding in his hand.

"Dear Prime Minister, do we really have no way to target Daxia now?" George V said.

"Your Majesty, at present, this is the case." Prime Minister George nodded.

"Because the empire's previous focus was on Europe, it had no time to take care of the Far East and Southeast Asia, which led to the rise of Daxia."

"Now the Daxia Empire has grown into a behemoth, and its strength is almost the same as that of the empire. If the empire forcibly targets Daxia, it will only let the people of the Hans Empire have the last laugh."

"In addition, the empire fought to the end with the Hans Empire this time, and its strength has been greatly reduced, and it no longer has the ability to protect the South East Asia region."

"However, with this document, at least for a short period of time, we don't have to worry about the threat from Tianzhu. What the empire needs to do now is to resume production as soon as possible and restore national strength."

King George V nodded when he heard Prime Minister George's words.

George V was not a king who knew nothing, but he was also a wise monarch. It's just that his predecessors and successors were too dazzling.

Here is a brief introduction to the background of George V.

George V was the king of the Windsor dynasty of the John Empire. He and his father, Edward VII, had been living in the Victorian era when the John Empire was the most powerful in the early years.

In that era, John's Empire was the undisputed number one power.

However, with the death of Queen Victoria and the succession of Edward VII, the development of John's empire reached a bottleneck.

This is not to say that Edward VII is not strong, but that the Queen is really too strong.

In the Victorian era, the flag of John's empire was planted all over the world, becoming a true sun that never sets.

But Queen Victoria had a small problem, that is, she valued chastity very much and strictly required her children to do so.

As for Edward VII, although he had strong personal abilities, he was a passionate person. This may be related to his experience as a sailor when he was young.

Anyway, Edward VII was a bit philanthropic and informal in his private life. In today's terms, it is sentimental.

This displeased Queen Victoria, who restricted Edward VII's access to the empire. The entire empire was controlled by Queen Victoria alone.

This was no big deal when the Queen was young, as Her Majesty was a strongwoman herself. But what about when she gets old?

As Her Majesty the Queen gets older and her energy becomes less and less, which leads to less and less time for her to deal with government affairs, the John Empire inevitably begins to decline.

It was not until the death of Her Majesty the Queen in 1901 that Edward VII succeeded to the throne. By that time, Edward VII was already over fifty.

Let me make another digression here. It seems that the queens of the John Empire generally live longer than the male kings. I don’t know why.

Anyway, after Edward became king, he himself was already an old man.

During the few years that Edward VII served as Emperor John, he always wanted to restore the glory of the Victorian era.

So he signed a treaty with the Gallic Empire, formed an alliance, suppressed the whole world, and allowed the John Empire to regain the glory of the Victorian era in a short period of time, and was deeply loved by the people.

But later, Edward VII died suddenly, and the power of the empire was transferred to George V in a panic but smoothly.

In the original history, George V led John's Empire to win a battle, but in this time and space, John's Empire did lose.

But even if they lose, the Allied Powers will have almost no impact on the John Empire itself. Instead, he beat his neighbor's house to pieces.

This can be regarded as the achievement of George V.

After that, George V worked hard to restore the strength of the John Empire and rebuild the industrial structure of the John Empire, so that the John Empire still held the title of the world's most powerful country.

Although this most powerful country has some reluctance, no country in the world dares to face the military front of the John Empire alone. (original historical time and space)

Until 1936, the John Empire was working hard to regain its strength under the leadership of George V.

After George V, he experienced the short reigns of Edward VIII and George VI.

Among them, Edward VIII reigned for a short time, only being king for less than a year, and was succeeded by his younger brother George VI.

Perhaps George VI's greatest achievement was leading the John Empire to victory in World War II, disintegrating the John Empire, and successfully evolving into the Commonwealth.

Don't absolutely say that the Commonwealth is inferior to John's Empire. As long as you understand the member states of the Commonwealth, you will not have such an illusion.

I won’t go into too much description here, just summarize it in one sentence. As long as the Commonwealth wants to, they can organize an event similar to the Olympics.

Moreover, no matter what the internal struggles among member states, no one who comes to power dares to speak out about withdrawing from the Commonwealth.

The emergence of the British Commonwealth was tantamount to establishing a powerful alliance headed by the John Empire, ensuring the John Empire's international status.

After George VI, there is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II whom we are familiar with.
