Since the independence of the United States, the core strategy of the United Kingdom as a colonial empire has been singular: ensuring the unimpeded route from the homeland to India.
The nation posing the greatest threat to the British safety of this route is not Germany, thriving in Europe, but East Africa wedged between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
It can be said that whether the United Kingdom can continue to sit firmly as the World Overlord entirely depends on East Africa's mood. As long as East Africa severs the connection between the British homeland and India, the UK might as well surrender directly.
Thus it is clear who the greatest threat to the British Empire is, and it seems Britain is powerless against this gigantic East African entity.
Facing everyone's gloom, Winston stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, this is not the time to regret our past choices. As the Prime Minister has said, the empire is on the brink of danger."
