Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Presumably as long as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is mentioned, everyone may think of a lot, so I won’t go into too much here.

Anyway, from the Victorian era to the Elizabethan era, the four male kings in the middle may seem dispensable to outsiders.

But these four grandfathers and grandsons have an indelible position in the development of John's empire.

It can be said that it was these four male kings that gave rise to the modern Commonwealth and the John Empire.

Facing such a king, how can you say that he is not good?

All I can say is that it’s not that they are incompetent, but that their predecessors and successors are really too strong.

When George V heard what Prime Minister George said, he did not answer Prime Minister George immediately. But start thinking.

After a long time, King George V raised his head, looked at Prime Minister George and said slowly: "Since the situation is now like this, we can only temporarily agree to Daxia's request."

"However, although we can agree to Daxia's conditions, this does not mean that the empire will give up on South East Asia. Tell the people below to arrange manpower in Southeast Asia as much as possible."

"Didn't Daxia say that Southeast Asia will become a free trade zone? Then bury more people in it. The empire needs to control Daxia's intelligence at all times."

"In addition, regarding the latest battleships of the Daxia people, the empire must obtain information about the warships as soon as possible and find out their specific data. The empire must develop warships that can restrain the Daxia people as soon as possible."

"The Imperial Navy is the foundation for the Empire to settle down and survive. This cannot be ignored. We must ensure that the navy can suppress the Daxia people." George V said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister George nodded, and then continued: "But in terms of finance..."

"Don't worry about finances. I will personally make a request to Congress on this matter."

"Now that the war is over, in addition to restoring domestic production, the empire will have a large amount of funds flowing to the navy."

Prime Minister George nodded when he heard King V's words, and then continued: "So regarding the peace talks, does your Majesty have any instructions?"

Upon hearing Prime Minister George's words, King George V fell silent again.

To be honest, compared to Daxia, which is relatively far away, the real headache for the John Empire at this stage is the Hans Empire.

Although I really don't want to admit it, this defeat is indeed a definite fact.

Since it is a defeat, compensation is essential.

"You can take matters into your own hands regarding the peace talks." George V pinched his eyebrows, and then said, "I only have a few requests."

"On the European side, the territory of each country cannot change too much. The reparations can be increased appropriately."

"On the African side, the Suez Canal must be controlled by the empire, and half of the Sinai Peninsula can be let out. And South Africa can be given to William."

"However, the northern and central regions of Africa must be controlled by the empire, and the Hans cannot be allowed to extend their power to North Africa."

"Once the Hans enter North Africa, they will seriously threaten the security of Suez."

After hearing King George V's words, Prime Minister George nodded heavily, then stood up and left King George V's bedroom.

After watching Prime Minister George leave, King George V leaned on the sofa again and pinched his eyebrows hard.

To be honest, during this period, his headache became more and more obvious.

Especially when he needs to think or when he is under too much pressure, his head will start to hurt.

Although George V was very unwilling to compromise, the current situation forced him to bow his head and admit defeat.

What George V couldn't understand was why the John Empire, which was so powerful more than ten years ago, became so fragile in his hands.

If the John Empire was still in the Victorian era, let alone the Bactrian Empire, even the Hans Empire would not be able to defeat the John Empire so easily.

But now...

George V was a little confused as to why things turned out the way they did.

However, George V was not a person willing to admit defeat. He felt that even if the current situation was difficult, he must find a way to get the John Empire out of trouble.

The land being given away now is just to shrink its strength and prepare for the next war.

Also troubled by George V was Poincaré of the Gallic Empire. He also obtained the preliminary intention reached between the Gallic Empire and Daxia.

Looking at the treaty in his hand, Poincaré felt deeply humiliated.

This kind of humiliation was not given to him by Daxia or the Hans Empire.

There is no actual conflict of interest between Daxia and Gaul, or the conflict of interest is not obvious. The only Gallic Empire in Southeast Asia was Annan.

Now that Annan has been handed over to Daxia smoothly, there is no conflict of interest between the two countries.

The only bit of trade was made up for by the South East Asia Free Trade Zone.

As for the Hans Empire, to be honest, Poincaré didn't think it was a big problem. Even now, the Hans Empire looks stronger than the Gallic Empire on the surface.

But Poincaré was confident that without the help of others, the Gallic Empire could at least draw a tie with the Hans Empire.

In fact, there have been two opinions about the combat effectiveness of the Gallic Empire Army during World War I.

Some people believe that the combat effectiveness of the Gallic Empire Army was still the strongest in Europe during World War I. Others believe that since the Franco-Prussian War, the Gallic Empire Army has become weaker than the Hans Empire.

But no matter which theory you say, there is no way to deny the strength of the Gallic Empire Army, which is definitely ranked among the top three in Europe.

But at their level, one point is stronger and one point is weaker, but there is actually not much difference. To determine the outcome, one can only look at the commander's personal abilities.

Now, the Gallic Empire has three marshals, Joffre, Foch, and Pétain, as well as a large group of generals such as Gallieni and Nivelle, so the Gallic Empire's army is not weak.

Facing the Hans Empire head-on, the Gallic Empire would not be afraid at all. Therefore, there is no humiliation for Poincaré.

What really made him feel humiliated was the Jewish consortium entrenched in Gaul.

In the past, these consortiums only controlled the assets within the Gallic Empire and wanted to suck blood from the Gallic Empire. Poincaré could tolerate this.

Even during this world war, when the consortium provided a large amount of funds, Poincaré had already guessed that they would benefit from the Gallic Empire after the war.

But what he didn't expect was that this huge benefit made it difficult for him to accept.

This group of people from the Jewish consortium actually wanted to poach flesh from the Gallic Empire, and wanted the territory of the Gallic Empire to establish a so-called neutral country.

This was unacceptable to Poincaré.

But he has no way to stop it, because now a large number of members of the domestic parliament have agreed, and the only thing left is to vote.

As long as the vote is passed, the establishment of a neutral country will be a certainty.
