As was announced earlier, we have been in negotiations for a peace between all of our occupyers, being Spain, Poland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, and the United States. Just to be clear, here's exactly where we're all coming from in these negotiations.
Call it a war of attrition. Call it whatever you'd like, it happens to both sides. There were many great battles involved in this war, including the Med in Turkey, Liaoning, Xinjiang (not quite as spectacular), London (also somewhat melodramatic), North of Brazil (x3). Each one held a specific purpose. Each one had its moments.
However, there comes a point in time which you realise neither side can truly win. We've seen that in Greece and Turkey, with their year long war. We've seen long disputes between Turkey and Israel, Spain and France, France and ATLANTIS, and so on, which resulted in their destruction and reappearance at a later time and date.
To those who dislike this, here are some simple facts:
We have six countries invading us. Five have opened MPPs. Spain has not, and Poland does not have a border with us, like Sweden now that Norway controls all their Danish regions. I have initiative on Norway (at the moment), and the US. Spain could attack at any time. They could also region swap around me. Sweden could swap through Denmark.
There are 50 different combinations that they could do, to cost us the regions we're now gaining back. They could literally block us in, and initiative lock us until they were prepared to sandwich us. This isn't going to help our allies, and it isn't going to save anyone else. We'll focus more on France and Germany in the coming days, now that we've got battlefields which were costing us millions in wasted damage.
I'm sure some of you think this is a poor move. Until you get elected, and run a Ministry, I can't really tell you some of the exact details, however, this is the proper move for both Phoenix and the UK at this time. The UK cannot be of help to its allies while completely pinned. If it were us against the US, or even perhaps Poland/Spain, there would have been a chance.
However, mechanically, there just isn't that possibility. You'll see the UK in France again, and you'll see us in Germany, but right now the harder decision is the proper one.
Sincerely,
Dishmcds
Prime Minister

No shame in peace negotiations, eUS had to do it as well in WW3.
I hope, your congress won't vote the peace treaties because it's not a smart move...
peace with Poland and Spain is a disgrace.
You could't ment this serious. Do you reaaly think It would be easier to regain Berlin and Brandenburd by RW?
EDEN is finished, out of money... they couldn't invade UK any more...
I agree that this is a brilliant idea, regain our strength and then when they least suspect it, strike, and strike hard!
Rule Britannia!

Other then that your second to last paragraph should have been combined with your last paragraph and the entire thing reads like it was written by your beautiful little daughter (who's very talented, I'm sure). Does your government not believe in proof-readers?
"We'll focus more on France and Germany in the coming days"
How do you want to do this? There´s no possibility, cause which country can attack Spain or Poland at the moment? That where only you!
Awesomesauce.

Only solution for France right now is to do the same, I guess...
Not nice eUK!
A smart enough choice to make given the circumstances. Right now we was having fun but prolong it and it'd of just been tedious and a stalemate.
I don't know what to say. I must have a lot to learn, because all I see are the negatives.
weaksaucemaxxx
It's a poor move! ! !
mind bevagytok szivva
Your political credibility is gone. All the yank propaganda was true. Once they enough gold they will attack again...and our allies, those who really kept them at bay, won´t be here next time, providing that a blank peace truce strictly limit UK´s freedom´s movement...no ad-hominem attack intended, but dont you think you should resign before people quits the game or switches nationality, love?
This is a disgrace to our international image. Did you even think about France and Germany, and what they've done for us?
Stop trying to make excuses.
France were wiped off the map before they surrendered. I had hope our government would show the same courage.
It's not smart, it's betrayal.
...x3
you failed
wtf are u doing?!
NO PEACE !
GO WAR !
ALL IN ATTACK !!
🙁
chicken
@Vlado Stepanic
You don't get the point, attack on UK could last forever, if EDEN wants it, some days we may loose initiative and few territories, other day we will gain it again, because of 6 countries there will always be somebody ready to jump in and block them, waiting for the moment to delete UK from the map.
I've heard one Welsh proverb(Wales is part of UK,isn't it?) : Better to live one day as a lion than a hundred as a sheep.
Think about it.
omg 😮
A lot of people are disapointed with this. I can see why this was made though, I don't think we would have gone any futher than our borders and into US, Canuck, Swede etc territory, so signing peace here means we lose all of those activated MPPs and blocking that happens to us whilst being free to go help France and Germany.
Yes we don't have those MPPs for Poland, but they wouldn't let us have a border anyway, Spain would lock us out.
That's how I see it anyway, I don't see it as a travesty like all other do, I see it as a way of making sure we can throw all of our weight (as an alliance) behind the wars in other countries.
You really think you decided smart? - I don't like mixing RL issues with the game but perhaps it's useful this time: Remember the years 1940/41. Did the UK give up? Did the UK make peace with Nazi-Imperalists? Did the UK threw away all hopes of all the occupied people? NO! NO! NO! They hold the flag of freedom for Western Europe, they remaind steadfastly to thier allies and together they found a solution.
what tom morgan said
@Tom Morgan
I agree,but you think that EDEN will piss on their plans and attacks on your land by signing peace treaty?
They are insane if they agree this.And I don't think they are insane.
With this,you are backstabbing France and Germany :/
Smart? perhpas. Necessary for the continuous survival of UK? Yes
One word, DISGRACE!
il_pate: There is no excuse for bringing in RL issues to this game. You also seem to forget that your e-country existed thanks in large part to the eUK's effort. So don't give us that crap.
im about to cry...
My respect has grown for the prime minister, one who is able to make the right choice for the nation regardless of what some vocal groups feel emotionally. This is a matter of what's best in the long term, not some silly short sighted revenge.
@Blandman: I have not forgotten. That's why I am so disappointed!
thay cant block forewer hold just london and we will see if thay can afford attack every day
dokomo betrayed us at Kyushu, lynne betrayed us at Slavonia and NWC... and now you 🙁
Blandman@
Just precisely is not real life, you play the game with some elegance and honour.
What was at stake, three companies a wee bit of gold, and some houses?
Get real fellas
This is disgrace!
You said with Spain they can lock UK (to lose initiate)...EDEN didn't have money for more attacking London or to have initiate all the time. We was in much better position because we had MPP's that are together (and not in parts like it is on EDEN side).
UK sold out all her allies with this move (because deleting important MPP's), and this will be back to you when they attack you again but when is right time for them! They need it to take out UK because MPP's and they start to be desperate...they losing a lot of money in this war and you will erase MPP's whit them for free?!
(sorry because my bad English)
Bite it...
We will be fighting for France and Germany, like our PM has said. We will be there. We've got EDEN off of our backs, we've got the blocking attacks off of our backs, we've got the damage draining attacks off of our backs - (I say we when I mean Phoenix) - now we can focus on helping our allies without waiting for a possible attack in the background.
Turkey can finally beat Greece without the attacks on the UK going on draining damage.
DISGRACE!
SHAME ON YOU!
Not cool... EDEN made a bad move when they attacked UK and the London front was a "worm" that could have had destroyed them.
Phoenix had a chance, but now we lost it.
Not cool...
@ Tom Morgen
If this is good for Phoenix (as you said) why no one (expect some of you "royal marines" and PM) see it? why everybody see it as betraying of France and Germany?
If you didn't make this horrible decision, we would have to wait, but one day UK would be liberated west Europe.
Don't you worry about Turkey, they will handle it without your "help"...and actually in this way UK is give EDEN opportunity to focus on other Phoenix countries...so don't tall us how you helping us whit this.
Come to eSerbia, we never turn our back to our allies!
