    "Oh? Sir Fisher, is the Navy so confident? Are you kidding me?" Prime Minister Asquith was perked up, but then he asked hesitantly.

    The other ministers in the British cabinet also looked at John in surprise.  Sir Fisher, I don¡¯t know why the Royal Navy has such confidence.  Everyone knows the current strength of the Royal Navy. Although it has a slight advantage compared to the German Navy, it would be a bit too arrogant to say that it will definitely defeat the German Navy!  If we wait until the ¡®Queen Elizabeth class, battleships and

    ¡®If you say something like this after all the Revenge-class battleships have been put into service, then everyone will still believe it.  But now?  Everyone was a little suspicious.

    "Don't worry, I certainly won't tease you with this matter. Before, there were many things that needed to be kept secret, so it was always done secretly by the Navy Department. Now? Our decisive naval battle with the Germans is about to begin.  , so you don¡¯t have to worry about confidentiality issues!¡± John.  Sir Fisher said confidently.

    "Wait a minute, Sir Fisher, you said that the decisive battle at sea between us and the Germans is about to begin. Has the Admiralty already learned about the time when the decisive battle between the Germans and us will begin?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.

    "Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. According to the intelligence we have received, the German Navy will launch an attack on the Royal Navy at the end of this month, that is, on May 30. The purpose is to defeat the Royal Navy and gain control of the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean." John.  Sir Fisher said with certainty.

    "Sir Fisher, I am puzzled as to how the Admiralty was able to know the German plan in such detail that it even knew the date of the war." Secretary of War Winston.  Churchill asked.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, ministers, this is it. In February, one of our light cruisers discovered a German destroyer off the coast of Norway. After a fierce battle, the German destroyer ran aground near the coast. And,  They did not have time to destroy the German Navy's code book. Our people took the code book away and completely destroyed the German destroyer. After more than two months of deciphering, we have basically mastered the German Navy's code. After testing  After that, the correctness of the codebook was basically verified. It is for this reason that we learned that the German Navy will launch a decisive battle with the Royal Navy at the end of the month!" John.  Sir Fisher explained.

    ¡°If that¡¯s true, that would be great!¡± Finance Minister David.  Lloyd.  George said first.  The war is a complete waste of money. The war in the past year has already caused the government to be heavily in debt.  If the British Empire hadn't accumulated hundreds of years of experience and had vast colonies to exploit, he wouldn't have known how to survive.

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, everyone, I am very sorry. In order to avoid being known by the Germans, I ask the people below to keep it secret. I hope everyone can understand!" John.  Sir Fisher said proactively.

    "Sir Fisher, it is understandable that the Admiralty is more cautious on this issue." Although Prime Minister Asquith is a little dissatisfied, it is not easy to get angry now.  After all, Sir Fisher did this to win this war and for the benefit of the British Empire.

    Prime Minister Asquith has not delved into this issue, so others will not dwell on this issue anymore.

    "Sir Fisher, you said before that the Royal Navy has prepared a trap for the German Navy. If successful, it can severely damage or even annihilate the German Navy? Now can you tell us a little bit about the Admiralty's plan, so that we can  Let's relax!" Colonial Secretary George.  Nathaniel.  Marquis Curzon said.  Britain's powerful navy is an important guarantee for maintaining Britain's overseas colonial system.  Therefore, he is also very concerned about this decisive battle of the navy.

    "Of course! Everyone, this is the plan of the Navy Department.

    Since the specific plan of the German Navy is to encircle and annihilate the battlecruiser detachment of the Royal Navy first, and then concentrate all its efforts on a decisive battle with the main force of the Royal Navy.  Then, the Royal Navy decided to use its tactics to eliminate the German Navy's battlecruiser fleet first, and then use its superior strength to launch an attack on the German Navy to completely solve this trouble!  "Sir John Fisher said.

    It¡¯s just that, John.  Sir Fisher's words were very general, leaving everyone somewhat unclear.  Although, the Navy's specific plans must be kept secret, which everyone can understand.  But we must let everyone know why the Royal Navy can defeat the German Navy!

    "Sir Fisher, why did the Admiralty assert that the German Navy was fooled? And even if the German Navy was really fooled, with the combat power of the German Navy, it would not be too easy for the Royal Navy to defeat the German Navy, right? The German Navy's  "Bavaria class, battleship, the Royal Navy doesn't have a battleship that can compete with it, right?" War Secretary WenDayton.  Churchill asked.

    "Who said the Royal Navy couldn't deal with the German Bavarian-class battleships? Our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships are enough to compete with the German Bavarian-class battleships!" John.  said Sir Fisher.

    "But, isn't the Queen Elizabeth class battleship still being outfitted? It will take some time to complete. And after completion, sea trials will need to be carried out. After joining the navy, it still needs to be run-in. I'm afraid it won't be completed in less than a few months.  Right!" Churchill frowned and asked in confusion.

    "This is indeed the case. However, this is just a spy used by the Navy to confuse the Germans. In fact, the Navy had already begun to deal with the current crisis two years ago. To this end, we accelerated the 'Elizabeth  In the construction of the Queen-class battleship, some materials used on the Revenge-class battleship were even used on the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship. This greatly accelerated the construction progress of our Queen Elizabeth-class battleship.  What is lying on the slipway now is just a Revenge-class battleship. As for the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships being outfitted, they are just models to confuse German spies." John.  said Sir Fisher.

    "What? How could this happen?" Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the Navy Department had secretly made such preparations.

    "Sir Fisher, in other words, our Queen Elizabeth class battleship has been completed?" Prime Minister Asquith asked with a trembling voice. If this is really the case, then the British Navy is very likely to be here.  Won victory in a decisive battle at sea.  The British Navy now has thirty-five battleships, plus the five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, there are forty battleships, which is far ahead of the German Navy's twenty-nine battleships.

    "Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Our Queen Elizabeth class battleships were actually completed two months ago. In order to keep it secret, these battleships are now in the Irish Sea. When the time for the decisive battle arrives, they will secretly head to the North Sea.  I think these babies will definitely give the Germans an unforgettable surprise!" John.  A flash of excitement flashed in Sir Fisher's eyes. Since becoming Lord of the Admiralty, his responsibility has been to lead the revival of the British Navy.  And now, the British Royal Navy will step on the corpses of the overconfident Germans to consolidate Britain's position as maritime supremacy.

    "Sir Fisher, this is great!" The ministers cheered.  Now it seems to everyone that the British Navy has mastered the German Navy's plan in advance, and at the same time, the Queen Elizabeth class battleships have entered service in advance. It should not be very difficult to defeat the German Navy.  As long as the British Navy can win this decisive battle, it can completely cut off the German ambitions.  At that time, Italy and the countries on the Balkan Peninsula will be drawn into the Allied Powers.  Britain would soon be able to defeat Germany and win the war.  After defeating Germany, the Allies will gather all their strength to defeat the evil China in the East and return the development of the world to its past.  In that case, the British Empire will still be the maritime hegemon and the world hegemon, and Britain will continue to rule the world.

    "Sir Fisher, although the early commissioning of the Queen Elizabeth class battleship has brought our naval strength to a higher level.

    But the German navy is not weak either.  There may be no problem in winning this decisive battle at sea.  But it would be a bit difficult to severely damage or even annihilate the German Navy!  After all, the Germans are not fools. After seeing our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships in service, once they are in a disadvantageous position, they will definitely take the opportunity to retreat and will not continue to fight with us!  "Winston Churchill said. He believed that the British Royal Navy might not be able to win so easily and cleanly.

    "Of course, the strength of the German Navy is not weak, but the Royal Navy is fully prepared. I guarantee that even if the German Navy is not annihilated this time, it will suffer an irreparable heavy blow and will never attack again.  The British Empire poses a threat!" John.  Sir Fisher said with absolute certainty.

    Everyone looked at Sir John Fisher curiously, waiting for his explanation.  Everyone wants to know why he has so much confidence and where does his confidence come from?

    "Everyone, don't forget that among the Allied Powers, apart from us, our allies are also not weak. I have already communicated with the U.S. Navy. This time we will have a decisive battle with the German Navy, and the U.S. Navy will also join us. The condition is,  When China repairs the Panama Canal and enters the Atlantic Ocean, the Royal Navy must cooperate with the US Navy to defeat the Chinese Navy!" John.  Sir Fisher said!
