"Your Excellency Pri Minister, can the Aricans really be reliable? I am always a little worried." King George V said. Although he has decided to flee the UK and fled to Canada. However, he had to think about the future! He would certainly like to return to England soday, if possible.
"Your Majesty, the Aricans are of course unreliable. In fact, we and the United States are just using each other. After the fall of the Empire, the United States has beco the only opponent of the Germans. As long as the Aricans do not want to be defeated in the confrontation with Germany, They have to find a way to strengthen their own strength. The United States has a vast territory, a huge population resource and a huge industrial output value. However, they also have many shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is science and technology The gap with Germany. With the help of the empire, the Aricans can quickly shorten the gap with the Germans in this respect. But if we want to defeat the Germans, it is very difficult to rely on our own strength , must rely on the strength of the Aricans. Therefore, we also need to spare no effort to strengthen the strength of the Aricans." Churchill explained.
George V nodded: "So, Your Excellency, after we defeat the Germans in the future, can the British Empire maintain its status as the world's hegemon?"
Britain has been the world's hegemon for hundreds of years. If the hegemony is lost from his hands, George V will not know how to explain to the kings who fought for the rise of the British Empire all their lives.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the supremacy cannot be maintained!" Churchill said.
George V's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of sadness, even though he had already guessed that this would be the result. However, hearing Churchill say it so clearly still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, this is inevitable. Since the empire lost this war, it is impossible to keep our hegemony. Even if we use the power of the Aricans to defeat Germany, the new hegemon will be The United States. However, the situation of the empire will be much better. According to our agreent with the Aricans, we can retain most of the colonies. Especially important colonies such as India and South Africa can be preserved. In that case, the empire will still have The opportunity to rise. If we are lucky and can seize the opportunity, we may not have the opportunity to beco the world's hegemon again in the future!" Churchill explained.
George V nodded. Churchill's explanation satisfied him. Although, the British Empire is destined to lose its hegemony next. But as long as they keep their holand and most of their colonies, they will always have a chance to rise. Maybe in a few decades. They will be able to rise again.
"Well, Your Excellency the Pri Minister, I fully support the cabinet's decision. I believe that for the British Empire, the difficulties are temporary. We will definitely overco this difficulty and bring the British Empire back to the pinnacle of the world!" George V Said firmly.
"Your Majesty, I fully believe this too!" Churchill also had a firm expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, Canada's infrastructure is terrible. After we arrive in Canada, we need to carry out large-scale construction. In addition, we need an ard army. These require a lot of money. Even in the future, we will have to do sothing to counterattack the mainland. Prepare. It is obviously not enough to rely on Canada's tax revenue alone." Churchill continued.
George V was also a smart man. When Churchill said that, he imdiately understood what Churchill ant. The finances of the current British Empire have already collapsed. If you want to achieve re-ergence, you need a lot of money. And Churchill's purpose was nothing more than to focus on the wealth of the British royal family.
The British Empire has been the world hegemon for hundreds of years, and the wealth accumulated by the royal family is also very amazing. Gold alone has accumulated thousands of tons. Including other treasures, the wealth accumulated by the royal family may exceed tens of billions of pounds.
It's just that these wealth are gold, silver and jewelry. It is very difficult and ti-consuming to turn them into money. Therefore, when the British Empire was in danger, these wealth could not be directly turned into weapons and equipnt. However, if you can escape to Canada, you can gradually realize these wealth, and then use the money to build Canada and arm the remaining troops.
"Your Excellency, the British Empire has reached this point. As the king of the British Empire, I am naturally responsible for revitalizing the empire. After arriving in Canada, I can lend the royal family's wealth to the governnt in the form of an interest-free loan .After defeating Germany, it will be returned to the royal family slowly." George V said.
It would be impossible for King George V to donate such a large amount of wealth to the governnt. Even if he agrees, the rest of the royal family won't either. If it is a loan to the governnt, then there is no problem. Anyway, everything is used to revive the British Empire.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!" Churchill nodded, already very satisfied with the result. With the support of the royal family's large wealth, they will soon be able to rebuild a strong industry and army in Canada. At that ti, these will beco an important boost for them to defeat Germany and beco a world power again.
The British royal family has a lot of wealth, which is scattered all over the UK for the sake of confidentiality. It is not an easy task to transfer these wealth to Canada. This is especially true when the German navy has almost blocked the entire United Kingdom.
In order to transport these wealth away, Churchill specially set up a gold transfer committee, which is directly responsible to him. The sole responsibility of this committee is to safely transport the wealth of the royal family and the British governnt to Canada.
The wealth of the royal family is amazing, and the British governnt also has a lot of wealth. Especially the gold and other precious tals stored in the bank vaults must be transported away. If it falls into the hands of the Germans, Germany will beco stronger because of this wealth. At that ti, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for Britain to defeat Germany.
Under Churchill's order, this departnt quickly operated. The army, navy and intelligence agencies are all fully cooperating with them. A large amount of gold and other wealth were transported from secret warehouses in various places, and then secretly transported to port cities, and then transported to Canada through warships, submarines, and other ships.
