Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "How is it possible? The Chinese do not have any airports in the western Atlantic Ocean. How can they use aircraft to attack the battleships of the Combined Fleet?" British Prime Minister Asquith asked rhetorically.

    He was somewhat unable to accept the news that the Combined Fleet had suffered a disastrous defeat. You must know that the battleships dispatched by the British Navy to the Combined Fleet this time were all the most advanced battleships currently in service in the British Navy. Now they have all been lost.  This undoubtedly caused the British Navy's strength to be severely damaged again!

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to General Roback's analysis, the Chinese should have built a warship that can take off and land aircraft. It is relying on this kind of warship that the Chinese can use aircraft to attack the combined fleet!" John.  said Sir Fisher.  Obviously, this result was completely beyond their expectations, and this also caused the British Navy to pay a heavy price.  It can be said that if you fail to steal a chicken, you will lose a handful of rice!  Originally, they wanted to use the victory of this naval battle to inspire the British people's confidence in the war of resistance, but now it seems that everything has come to nothing!

    "Bastard! How could this happen? Sir Fisher, with the current strength of the Royal Navy, can you still block the German coast?" Prime Minister Asquith asked with some worry.  In the Battle of the North Sea, although the main force of the German navy was wiped out, some capital ships were still retained.  After more than half a year, these capital ships must have been repaired.  Once the strength of the British Navy cannot suppress the German Navy, these capital ships will definitely take the opportunity to challenge the British Navy again!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Royal Navy now has 16 battleships and 1 battlecruiser left, and it can still suppress the German Navy. However, what I am most worried about is not the threat to us from the Germans. It is the Chinese! The U.S. Army is on the battlefield  The Chinese had already been beaten to a terrible defeat by the Chinese in the morning. If the Chinese had not voluntarily given up the large-scale attack, maybe the Americans would have counted half of the country by now. Everyone in the United States has pinned their hopes on the navy. Now  The U.S. Navy also suffered a disastrous defeat, which is undoubtedly a major blow to the United States. Perhaps this is also the opportunity that the Chinese have been waiting for! If the Chinese launch a large-scale attack in time, the Americans will not be able to resist it.  ! The destruction of the United States is right in front of us! Once the United States is destroyed, the millions of troops and huge navy that the Chinese have invested in the North American battlefield will inevitably turn to the European continent. By then, Britain, France, and Russia alone may not be able to withstand it.  Chinese attack!" John.  Sir Fisher said with some worry.  From now on, it seems that the demise of the United States is inevitable after the Chinese Navy has won this naval battle, and China has become invincible, and the Allies will be in an extremely dangerous situation!

    "Damn it! Come on, ask the cabinet ministers to come to the Prime Minister's Office immediately!" Prime Minister Asquith listened to John.  After Sir Fisher's words, he broke out in a cold sweat!  The powerful strength of China's army, navy and air force has been fully demonstrated in the war.  Once the Chinese army dispatches the troops sent to the North American battlefield to Europe, the defeat of the Allied Powers will be just around the corner!

    In less than twenty minutes, the important ministers of the British cabinet gathered in the Prime Minister's Office of the Prime Minister's Office. The secretaries served fragrant coffee and then left.  They seemed to feel the oppressive atmosphere and didn't want to stay here any longer, lest they suffer unintended disasters!

    These important cabinet ministers had already been informed of what happened on the way here, so everyone looked a little unhappy.  In particular, Foreign Secretary Edward Johnson, who strongly supported sending a fleet to join the combined fleet led by the U.S. Navy.  Even more so with Sir Grey.  If it hadn't been for his support, perhaps the British Navy would not have lost these advanced warships!

    "Everyone, what do you think of the current situation? The fleet suffered a disastrous defeat, which will certainly greatly affect our naval strength. However, more importantly, the United States is very likely to be defeated quickly. This is the real  will pose a fatal threat to us! Once the United States is defeated and millions of Chinese army and powerful navy enter the European battlefield, it will be very difficult for us to even save the country, let alone win this world war.  !" Prime Minister Asquith said in a deep voice!

    "Oh God! How can we resist the attack of so many Chinese?" Colonial Secretary George.  Nathaniel.  Marquis Curzon exclaimed!  Now India and Australia, the two most important British colonies, have almost been lost.  Can Canada survive if the United States loses?  In addition, the Chinese now dominate almost the entire Indian Ocean, and South Africa is also under the attack of the Chinese. How many colonies can Britain have left?  After losing its overseas colonies, Britain is not far from collapse!

    "Sir Fisher! How could the Chinese dispatch so many planes? Do they have an airport near the Bahamas?" Secretary of War Winston.  Churchill?I seem to be struggling with this issue all the time!

    "Your Excellency Churchill, according to our speculation, the Chinese should have developed a warship that can take off and land fighter planes. This way, fighter planes can take off and attack targets calmly!" Secretary of the Navy John.  Sir Fisher explained.

    "God! If that's true, wouldn't the Chinese Navy be invincible? The performance of Chinese fighter planes has already surpassed that of other countries. Now these fighters can take off and land on warships in the sea. Which other country can  Defeat the Chinese at sea?" Winston.  Churchill said.  Britain was originally a country that relied on its navy. Britain has been able to dominate the world for hundreds of years because of its world's largest navy.  Now, the Chinese seem to have left the UK far behind. Under such circumstances, does the UK still have a chance to make a comeback?

    The faces of other cabinet ministers suddenly became very ugly. Like other land countries, the British are particularly important to sea power, which is directly related to the future of the United Kingdom.  Now, the Chinese can actually move their fighter planes to the sea. So, can the UK still defeat the Chinese?  All this seems to have become a luxury!

    "Damn it! Sir Fisher, we must also prepare to develop that kind of warship immediately. We cannot lag too far behind the Chinese!" Prime Minister Asquith said!  Britain without a powerful navy is destined to become a second-rate country. This is unacceptable to Britain, which has dominated the world for hundreds of years!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can start to develop this kind of warship, but if it is to be used in actual combat, I am afraid it will take a long time. The Chinese may have started this development as early as when they were developing aircraft. We and them  In comparison, it is far behind! In addition, we currently lack fighter aircraft for ground and sea attacks. Even if we can develop such a warship, we still do not have suitable fighters!" John.  said Sir Fisher.  An aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft is just a steel coffin and is of no use at all.

    "Whether it's fighter planes or warships carrying fighter planes, we must have them! If we are short of money, I will ask Congress to agree to our appropriation. If we are short of technology, we can use various methods to collect and develop it ourselves, no matter what  , I only have one request, and that is that we must close the gap with the Chinese. Even if we cannot catch up with this war, we can save it for later!" Prime Minister Asquith said firmly.

    "Yes, Prime Minister, I understand!" John.  Sir Fisher nodded.  He knew that Prime Minister Asquith also had little hope for this war.  Britain started the development of this new weapon just to prepare for the next rise.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think we should not be so pessimistic. Although the Chinese have a great upper hand now, we do not have no chance at all! After the rise of China, we will certainly suffer heavy losses. But, if we go bigger  This is not a good thing for the entire Western world! The Eastern world has been leading the West for thousands of years. Now the West has finally become the center of the world. How can we indulge the rise of the East again?  . I think we can completely stop the war with the Allies and the entire Western world unites to fight China. In this case, even if we cannot defeat China, at least we can ensure that our interests are not violated!" Foreign Secretary Edward.  Sir Gray said!

    "Sir Grey, didn't we try it last time? But those old-fashioned Germans only think about themselves and refuse to stop the war with us, let alone fight with us against the Chinese!" War Secretary Vince  pause.  Churchill said!

    "Your Excellency Churchill, you can't say that. Last time, only the main force of the German Navy was annihilated by us. Now, the rise of China will bring disaster to the entire Western world! Moreover, the last time was not completely ineffective, at least the German Army  Hasn¡¯t it been a strategy of passive defense that has been adopted recently?¡± Foreign Secretary Edward.  said Sir Grey.

    Then, he glanced at everyone and continued: "The reason why the Germans fought against the British was to compete with us for the market and to replace us as the new world hegemon. However, from now on, even if we lose  , the new world hegemon will not be Germany, but China. This is probably not what the Germans want to see. Therefore, if Kaiser Wilhelm II is not a fool, he will definitely make the right choice!"
