The British Empire would not make peace with Germany, and Hessmann was very sure. At least, before Britain lost most of its fleet and fell into the siege and blockade of the German navy.

Because what happened between Britain and Germany now is not an unrelated regional armed conflict, but a war for world hegemony. In such a war, there is no "decent peace" and no "surrender lost half of it".

If Britain makes peace with Germany under the current situation, then there is no doubt that Britain will lose world hegemony forever and become a second-rate country. Although the trend of Britain becoming a second-rate country cannot be changed, the 46 million British people who are used to enjoying the glory of the empire will not give up easily. After all, it is always difficult to go from extravagant to simple things.

Therefore, if you want to make peace with the UK, the obstacles faced by Germany are definitely not a stubborn person, but a US spy Winston Churchill, but a 46 million unwilling British man.

Moreover, the extremely cruel side of this World War II has not yet shown its fiercest side. Although the British lost 200,000 to 300,000 troops (not counting as San and Hei Shushu), most of them were captured and taken into prisoners of war camps and treated better. The bombing of the British mainland that should have happened did not happen due to Hessmann. If it were not for the broken war between German submarines, aircraft and camouflaged attack ships that caused the difficulties of shortage of supplies to the British mainland, most of the British people now would not feel the harm of the war.

In this case, how can we expect the British to admit defeat and give up world hegemony?

"My Majesty, although I don't think peace will appear under the current circumstances," Hessman looked at William III, who looked very old, with gray hair, "but I don't object to contact with the British."

Although Hessman did not want to make peace with the UK, he knew that Hitler had always had such an idea and also established a secret peace talks with the UK. It was just because William II, who had just passed away, had some resentment towards Britain and could not carry out a peace movement with great fanfare.

But now the old emperor who had resentment towards Britain died, and he had changed to a new emperor who was willing to make peace with Britain. As the leader of the Juncker Officer Corps, Hessman could not oppose the emperor and the cabinet's proposals at the same time.

"Can we let Queen Oliga go to England?" William III asked tentatively. "If we can directly establish contact with George VI, perhaps it can accelerate the reconciliation between Britain and Germany."

"Of course," Hessman nodded and smiled, "Empress Oliga is a very suitable candidate, and Churchill has no way to stop her from meeting the King of England."

Queen Oliga was not Rudolph Hess, she was the Queen of Russia that the British government once recognized, and was a relative of King George VI of England, and she was not a member of the German government or the military. Churchill could not arrest her like Hess, or even prevent her from meeting George VI.

In the eyes of William III and Hitler, the biggest obstacle to peace talks between Britain and Germany is a small group of political elites led by Prime Minister Churchill. As long as they can convince the British king, the war will be over quickly. According to the British "National Defense Act", the king is the one with full authority, and the Churchill cabinet is just authorized from the king. So in theory, King George VI can prevent Churchill's cabinet from "doing things wrong."

"So...what conditions should we use to make peace with the UK?" William III continued to ask.

"First of all, Britain should hand over all its territories in Africa, withdraw troops from the Arabian Peninsula, and at the same time return Iceland and Faroe Islands to Denmark, Gibraltar to Spain, and then hand over Madeira, Socotra, Bermuda, Bahamas, and British Honduras to us. Secondly, Britain must join the European Customs Union. Once again, the UK must marry Prince Friedrich. In addition, Britain must hand over three 'Glorious' class aircraft carriers."

The conditions proposed by Hessmann did not seem to be harsh. India's San is still from Britain, Malaya, Singapore and Myanmar are also from Britain, and Canada, Australia and New Zealand are still owned by the British Empire.

However, these peace conditions are not the end of the imperial recession for Britain, but the beginning of a new recession. Because Britain, which lost the war, had no ability to maintain the remaining colonies without falling apart. In the original history, Britain, as the victorious country, eventually lost the Empire of Sun and Not Set. If Britain became the defeated side and was protected by Germany, it would be only a matter of time before Germany could extort and cut off the empire in the end.

Therefore, until the end of the journey, any British politician with a brain would not consider making peace with Germany. As for the ordinary British people, they do not know that the British Royal Navy is retreating step by step and is about to lose control of the sea.

"... These brave and fearless people won an important victory for the British Empire with their sacrifices. Without victory, there would be no more everything symbolized by the British Empire, and without victory, there would be no more strong demands and impulses for centuries. On the battlefield of human conflict, there has never been so many people who attribute so many honors to so few. It is precisely because of their existence that we are energetic and full of confidence. I am sure that as long as we unite and be braver, our career will not be defeated!"

When Queen Oliga drove into Liverpool Port on the Swedish cruise ship Gothenburg, speakers on the port dock were coming out over and over again by British Prime Minister Churchill. The speeches were about "Victory of the Shetland Sea" and "The Fearless Expendables".

During this period, Germany was crowned a new emperor because of his death. Therefore, Goebbels' propaganda system was busy playing against the emperor and did not have much energy to play the German version of the "Shetland Victory", and ended up being at a disadvantage in the propaganda war. Not many Europeans were concerned about the major victory that Germany achieved at sea.

On the British side, under Churchill's order, the propaganda agency carried out full efforts to promote the heroic deeds of the "Fearless Death Squad" in the Battle of Shetland. In addition, the Shetland Islands were indeed not occupied by Germany, and as a result, most of the British believed that their invincible Royal Navy had really won a "Jetland-like victory."

...

With a "click", Churchill turned off the radio in his office, then slowly turned around and smiled bitterly at the visiting White House intelligence coordinator Colonel Donovan, saying, "How great it would be if everything I said was true!"

"Mr. Prime Minister, your words will become true. As long as our two countries unite, our cause will not be defeated... President Roosevelt also believes in this!" Donovan said to Churchill in a very firm tone.

The purpose of his visit to the UK was to encourage Churchill and the British Cabinet to make the Shetland Sea Battle a bird-like battle. Roosevelt certainly knew. The United States set up a squadron in Iceland and deployed many PBY Caterina seaplanes. Some of these planes were shot down by the Germans because they were too close to the battlefield. Some PBY Caterina seaplanes participated in the search and rescue of British pilots who fell into the sea, salvaging dozens of British people who were completely mentally collapsed.

Therefore, Roosevelt is very clear about the cruel reality of the Hood being sunk, the Prince of Wales being smashed, and the Ark of Royal had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, ordinary Americans do not know about these things. If they know about them, they will be scared. The anti-German sentiment that has finally risen will be replaced by anti-war sentiment. Therefore, the propaganda caliber of the Shetland Naval War in the United States is the same as in the United Kingdom.

However, Roosevelt still has no way to get Congress to vote to declare war on Germany. Although the Germans shot down several American seaplanes near the Faroe Islands and the Shetlands, causing the death or disappearance of twenty or thirty Americans, most U.S. congressmen believe that the voters who voted for them would not understand why the Navy had to go near Norway to defend the United States? Moreover, most ignorant American voters would not understand what the British-German armistice would mean to the United States!

Therefore, Roosevelt could only send his confidant Donovan to the UK again to cheer Churchill on, and at the same time discuss how to keep Britain fighting alone.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the President has promised to rent the 'Utah' to you." Donovan squeezed out a smile and told Churchill a few good news. "In addition, the President is also planning to rent the newly built Long Island escort carrier to you, and the five Revenge-class escort carriers under construction will also be rented to you together after they are completed."

Take out one battleship and six aircraft carriers at a time! Roosevelt's handwriting is really big. However, Churchill's brow was still tightly twisted and did not spread. He smiled bitterly and said to Colonel Donovan: "The Russian queen who is not worthy of her name has arrived in Britain... She had attended the coronation ceremony of German Emperor William III in Berlin. I think she was commissioned by German Emperor William III and German Chancellor Hitler! Because of her identity, I can't stop her from meeting the king. Colonel, I think you know what this means, right?"

Donovan was stunned, "Prime Minister, is Britain going to engage in peace talks with Germany?"
