Rise of the Phoenix from Hong Kong's Ashes Chapter 257

The glory of the British Empire is long gone, but Churchill is still trying his best to fix the leaks in this house.

In order to maintain the dignity of the empire as much as possible, it made an "Iron Curtain" speech last year, the main purpose of which was to disrupt the cooperative relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union established since the Yalta Conference.

They hoped that the emerging global power America would ally with them, take advantage of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, and suppress the wave of colonial independence. In fact, they were relying on the power of the United States to maintain their empire on the verge of collapse.

Churchill succeeded and failed, because this played into the hands of America and the Russian Bear.

What happened next was that the two emerging hegemons joined forces to dismember the older generation of hegemonic forces, and one of the links in this was the wave of colonial independence.
