    "We unite with the Americans to deal a fatal blow to the Germans first, and then combine with the Chinese? Haha, okay! That's great! Sir Fisher, this idea is really wonderful. This naval battle  , we will definitely win. Sir Fisher, you saved the British Empire, you will be the hero of the British Empire!" British Prime Minister Asquith laughed excitedly, with the wrinkles on his face like a chrysanthemum.  .  After becoming the Prime Minister of the British Empire, he has been trying every means to restore Britain to its glory, but a world war still broke out.  This battle is very important for Britain.  If it failed, the British Empire would simply decline.  Faced with such a dangerous situation, Prime Minister Asquith was very anxious.  Now that he was well, he finally saw hope of the revival of the British Empire.

    The other cabinet members also had faces full of joy.  In their view, the plan proposed by Sir Fisher was completely seamless.  This time, it will be a heavy blow to those Germans who do not know the heights of the sky and the earth, letting them know who is the master of the world's oceans.  After that, they cooperated with the Americans to kill the re-emerging China.  By then, the British Empire's position as the world's hegemon will continue to be stable for hundreds of years.  Of course, the British don't have a good impression of the Americans themselves. Now they just want to use the power of the Americans to defend the interests of the British Empire.  Although there are many cooperation projects between the United Kingdom and the United States, once the common enemy is defeated, the United States will still be the target of British suppression.  Those in the UK who call themselves aristocrats will never let those American upstarts be proud for long.

    Sir Fisher was very satisfied after seeing everyone's performance.  After he became Lord of the Admiralty, the British Navy was declining from prosperity, which made him feel very uncomfortable and self-blame.  Now, he was finally able to hold his chest up again.

    "Sir Fisher, how many warships will the U.S. Navy send to the war this time? Can it ensure that we gain an overwhelming advantage?" Secretary of War Winston.  Churchill asked.  In Britain, the Navy always comes first.  Although now on the European battlefield, the British Army is developing due to the fierce German offensive, and its influence is growing, but it is still unable to compete with the Navy.  In this regard, Churchill, as Secretary of War, was always a little unhappy.

    "Your Excellency Churchill, according to our plan, the main mission of the U.S. Navy this time is to launch a fatal blow to the Germans at a critical moment. Once our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships appear on the battlefield, the Germans will definitely understand themselves  They were fooled. When the time comes, they will definitely hope to preserve their strength and leave the battlefield. At that time, the task of the American fleet is to get behind the Germans in advance, intercept their retreat path, and cooperate with us to inflict heavy losses on the Germans.

    Of course, it would be even better if the battleships of the German Navy could be wiped out.  "Sir Fisher said with a smile. The plan proposed by the British Admiralty this time is already very complete. But the sea is so vast that it is still somewhat unrealistic to completely annihilate the German navy's battleships.  As long as the German Navy can be severely damaged and the German Navy loses its ability to challenge the British, the British Admiralty's purpose will be achieved.

    Sir Fisher paused, and then continued: "This time, the U.S. Navy will send four Pennsylvania-class battleships and four Nevada-class battleships to participate in the battle. Among them,

    "The Pennsylvania-class battleships are imitations of our Queen Elizabeth-class battleships. The Americans have built a total of 6 ships. The first four have joined the army, but the last two are still undergoing sea trials.  The Nevada-class battleship is an imitation of our Iron Duke-class battleship, which is also a world-class battleship.  The other American battleships have to stay and look after their homes.  Of course, we cannot pin all our hopes on the Americans.  In last year's naval battle with the Chinese in the Eastern Pacific, although they destroyed several Chinese naval bases, they themselves were also disgraced.  This time they only assisted us in blocking the Germans' retreat.  The important task of truly destroying the German Navy must be completed by our British Navy!  "

    "Of course, a world-class navy cannot be formed by building many battleships. Without hundreds of years of accumulation, there is no way to become a world-class navy!" Prime Minister Asquith said arrogantly.  The British navy has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years. Other countries simply cannot compare with the British.  Of course, Prime Minister Asquith seemed to have deliberately ignored the powerful empire in the east, China's navy in the east. It has only been developed for twenty years, but it has still caused the British to suffer a lot and lose face.  The British can find an objective reason. It is nothing more than that China designed an epoch-making battleship first, and all of the dozens of old British battleships were labeled as outdated old battleships. Otherwise, if the Chinese Navy wants to surpass  The British Navy may take decades to survive!??

    "Sir Fisher, I and all the British people hope that the Navy can fight this battle successfully and restore the glory of the British Empire. According to the information obtained by the Admiralty, there are only a few days left before the decisive battle. The Admiralty must  We must be prepared and be foolproof. We must also communicate well with the US Navy to ensure that all the main forces of the German Navy are sent to the bottom of the sea!" Prime Minister Asquith warned again.

    "Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Navy Department will definitely be prepared. In addition, the U.S. Navy should be in the Atlantic Ocean now. In order to avoid being discovered by the Germans, the U.S. fleet will take remote waterways. We will contact them when the time comes.  Make sure that after the war starts, they can arrive at the scheduled location in time!" Sir Fisher said.  Whether the U.S. Navy can arrive on the battlefield in time is related to whether the British Navy can severely damage the German Navy in this battle.  Of course, Sir Fisher has already determined in his heart that the British Navy will definitely win this time, but how successful it can be depends on whether the US Navy can intercept the German Navy!

    After Prime Minister Asquith said a few more words of encouragement to everyone, he declared the meeting to be over.  At the end of the meeting, Prime Minister Asquith couldn't help but tell everyone that the contents of today's meeting must be kept confidential. If the contents of the meeting are leaked, he will not spare the relevant responsible persons lightly.  Anyone who leaks the secret will be directly charged with treason and sent to the gallows!

    Prime Minister Asquith's warning made everyone feel chilly in their hearts. Everyone knew that Prime Minister Asquith valued this decisive battle very much.  This will be directly related to whether the British Empire can once again regain its glory.  Of course, the people participating in this meeting are all important British cabinet ministers. Of course, they will not leak the information. Britain has become stronger, which is also very beneficial to them.

    When the meeting ended, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening. Although it was very late, Prime Minister Asquith was in a very good mood.  Now, he could finally relax and no longer have to worry.  The British Empire will regain its glory in his hands and will not sink. He will become one of the most outstanding prime ministers in British history.

    On the Atlantic Ocean, a huge fleet was sailing. In the dark night, the fleet implemented a light control.  The entire fleet sailed eastward at a speed of 12 knots.  This fleet consists of more than thirty ships.  In addition to eight battleships that were as big as hills, there were four slightly smaller heavy cruisers, and the rest were light cruisers, destroyers, and two supply ships.  This fleet is supporting the British fleet, led by the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet.  The eight largest battleships are the four most powerful Pennsylvania-class battleships and four Nevada-class battleships in the U.S. Navy. The other four heavy cruisers are the Philadelphia-class heavy cruisers of the U.S. Navy.

    There is some controversy among senior American officials regarding the British request this time.  The main enemy of the United States now is China, so some senior officials believe that precious warships should not be put into the European battlefield. Once any losses occur, this will have a serious impact on the United States' future fight against the Chinese invasion, especially now that the Army  In the case of a disastrous defeat, these naval warships are even more valuable.  However, the navy generals believed that the US Navy should cooperate with the British Navy's actions this time.  After all, the Chinese navy is well known for its power.  Even though the U.S. Navy's Pennsylvania-class battleships have been put into service one after another, the follow-up New Mexico-class battleships are also under construction.

    ¡°However, the U.S. Navy generals are still unsure about whether they can defeat the Chinese Navy.  The U.S. Navy has been repeatedly defeated by the Chinese Navy, which has cast a shadow on their hearts.

    In the end, it was Theodore.  President Roosevelt overcame all objections and approved the navy to dispatch the main fleet to cooperate with the British navy to defeat the German navy.  After defeating the German Navy, the British Navy will dispatch its main fleet to assist the US Navy in defeating the Chinese Navy.  This is a win-win situation for both the United States and the United Kingdom.  Only in this way can their advantages be brought into play.  Otherwise, neither the United Kingdom nor the United States has enough strength to defeat Germany or China alone. Even if they can win by luck, they will probably suffer huge losses.  It will be safer if the navies of the two countries cooperate.

    The commander of the U.S. fleet is Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy¡¯s East Coast Fleet, William.  Admiral Benson, this time he personally led the main force to participate in the decisive battle against the German Navy, not only to help the British Navy win, but also to restore the confidence of the US Navy!
