University of Vienna Falls Behind

King George V was the first to speak.

"Stanley, I know what you're thinking, but enough is enough. The British people's peace-loving will has been expressed, and there is no need to continue."

Baldwin ultimately didn't go ahead.

He bowed deeply to King George V.

Then leave.

This means that Baldwin's efforts for more than a month have come to nothing, not to mention that he wants other countries to accept it, even the UK itself cannot accept the establishment of the EU.

Walked out of Buckingham Palace.

Baldwin looked at the white sky with a little confusion.

At this point Hankey had come to Baldwin.

"Let's go back, Prime Minister."

Baldwin exhaled softly and walked side by side with Hankey on the way out of Buckingham Palace, which seemed to be harder than he thought.

"What are you thinking? How to meet the little princess, or the people of England?"

"I'm thinking of when I was young."

"What would you do if you were young?"

Baldwin stopped.

He turned around, looked up at the majestic Buckingham Palace, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If I was young, I would rush once without hesitation."

"Then run, my Prime Minister."

Instead, Baldwin looked at his cabinet secretary beside him suspiciously.

"It's not in your style, Morris, and you should stop me with a long piece of crap that can't be longer."

Hankey put his hands in front of him, pouted, and shrugged again.

"You have been coaxed around by that little princess, and I can't stop you now."

Baldwin couldn't help laughing.

Then he strode towards Buckingham Palace.

Chapter 36 Indemnity Issues

Whether good or evil.

Some things just take the first step.

can no longer stop.

When seeing Baldwin back in the office again.

George V was also slightly surprised, but he didn't say much, but sat in his own seat, with Baldwin standing in front of George V.

"sit down."

"Yes."

Baldwin sat opposite George V, his back straight, looking at George V solemnly.

"His Majesty."

"Tell me your purpose, Stanley."

"I think the EU can be built."

George V shook his head: "Parliament has listed thousands of things to me about the disadvantages of the EU to the UK. You can't say you want to create an EU, just let me believe you."

Baldwin took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, I want to use the most solemn language to express to you the crisis situation facing the UK today, but I know you may know this better than I do, and I want to talk to you about the future."

"Go ahead, Stanley."

"The world is changing so fast that we can't keep up with it. And most people are stuck in the past, South African Prime Minister Barry Herzog is supporting the end of empires, he is not the first and will not be The last one, our colonization has been very difficult to maintain, they are all demanding independence. If we do not change, then the tide of the times will engulf us together."

"The creation of the EU will bring back the glory of Great Britain?"

George V asked.

Baldwin shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this can't be done. The establishment of the EU is indeed contrary to the strategy of continental equilibrium that we have always upheld. Please forgive my incompetence. I cannot regain the glory that belongs to the United Kingdom, but I want to leave our children with hope. The future, not a so-called shack."

"We can't stop the establishment of the European Union. Even if we stop it now, we can wait another ten years, 20 years, 30 years. When it is proposed, one day it will be established, just as we can no longer stop it. The rise of the United States can no longer prevent the rise of Delta. So what position should we play in this world?"

"Continue to maintain the continental balance of power policy? But this is no longer possible. The US economy will have a serious impact on us, and the UK is not the center of the world. If we consume with Germany and France, only the Americans and the East will be cheap. Over there. Still relying on war? We can no longer intervene in the mainland through war, since the time of William I, we can no longer."

"Now the Pope is with us, we can seize opportunities that we did not seize in the war, we must seek a new position from the situation in the world, a position more suitable for Britain, rather than let it go. Let us build the EU and make the UK the centre of the EU.”

"What I want is for our children, for Britain's future, for them to see hope, not to get caught up in a continental balance of power strategy. Not to get caught up in a more serious war, a war that has destroyed us the center of the world, we can no longer accept a more serious war."

George V just looked at Baldwin in silence.

As a Conservative Party, such radical behavior is clearly not suitable for Baldwin, who has always been moderate.

"Can you stand firmly at the heart of the EU?"

"Your Majesty, I will do it. If I can't do it." Baldwin looked at George V: "I am willing to bear all the guilt and all the infamy. This is my responsibility as the British Prime Minister."

......

George V still did not answer.

"I need to think about it, let Balfour come to see me."

"Yes."

Earl Arthur Balfour.

Former British Prime Minister.

The current president of the Privy Council, like Baldwin, of course, is a member of the Conservative Party.

1926 2 Month 1 Day.

King George V rejects Commonwealth letter to Parliament.

Although he did not support Prime Minister Baldwin on the surface, the meaning was already obvious.

British Prime Minister Baldwin also took the opportunity to deliver a public speech.

This speech is not too complicated. It is simply to explain a concept to the British people. The UK will become the center of the EU. The EU can bring peace. The UK wants peace not war, and the UK wants to bring peace to the world.

For the British, the call for peace is naturally far higher than the war.

Of course there are more important things.

That is the establishment of the European Union, and the voice of the British Dominion for independence and sovereignty has been completely suppressed, which is indeed a good thing for the United Kingdom.

It must be said that the 20th century was indeed an era of extremes.

1926 2 Month 15 Day.

Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland.

Pius XI also arrived at the Palais des Nations, where he held a meeting with the French Prime Minister, the British Prime Minister, and President Deta.

Things have come this far.

It was beyond Anna's expectations.

Anna sat in her own seat, watching Pius XI standing at the forefront talking nonsense, probably advocating peace, asking Deta and France to let go of their prejudices and old hatred, but the core problem is still the same, the matter is back. to the origin.

compensation issue.

Neither France nor Deta can step back.

"Unless I'm dead, the EU can't be created!"

French Prime Minister Helio slapped the table and left the table angrily.

It is normal for him to make such a choice.

Now the situation in France is very bleak. A large number of Democrats have begun to attack him. No matter how he handles this matter, he will not get a good result.

Baldwin once again found Anna in private.

Anna sat in her chair, too lazy to stand up and shrugged helplessly.

"Uncle Baldwin, as I said, it's not that I don't want peace, it's that the French don't."

"If you're willing to take a step back, I'll take care of the French side?"

"I want to take a step back. I can even say that the repayment remains unchanged, but I didn't say it's useless. The people of Deta will agree to it."

Anna sat sideways on the chair.

"At least you should try hard."

Baldwin looked at Anna and said deeply.

Anna looked at Baldwin and didn't know what to say for a while?

He looked at the man in his fifties in front of him, and didn't quite understand what this man was trying so hard to hold on to.

According to the memory of the past life.

Maybe Baldwin didn't end well.

In the history of Britain abroad, most people only remember Chamberlain, few people remember him, and for the British themselves, he is quite familiar.

This is also because of his support for appeasement, and it is also because of his support for Chamberlain that the Chamberlain's policy of appeasement works better.

After Chamberlain's death in 1940.

In the face of a series of military defeats, Baldwin began to face a series of criticisms.

Baldwin is also known as the guilty man.
