    "Oh God! All the wealth worth 200 million pounds was actually placed in Birmingham? How could this happen?" The British cabinet ministers exclaimed one after another!  Especially the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George, is more like his dead mother.  According to the words of Secretary of War Winston Churchill, they all knew that the fall of Birmingham was probably a foregone conclusion.  If Birmingham is occupied by the Chinese, then these wealth will definitely be occupied by the Chinese.  With the robber character of the Chinese people, it is simply impossible to get China to return this wealth!

    "Your Excellency Churchill, no matter what methods the army uses, Birmingham must be defended! Those wealth must not fall into the hands of the Chinese!" Prime Minister Asquith said with red eyes.  This wealth is very likely to become the funds for Britain's revival. With this wealth, Britain's revival will be even more effective!

    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I will try my best to find a way! The Ministry of War has already sent two armies to reinforce Birmingham, and I will send a few more armies! However, I can't guarantee whether I can get to Birmingham in time!  "Winston Churchill said.  He is well aware of the importance of the royal family's wealth to Britain. If he cannot hold Birmingham, he might be pushed out as a scapegoat!

    "Send the most elite troops to Birmingham. I remember that the Army has just established an armored force and sent them all! No matter what, we must hold Birmingham and drive the Chinese away!" Prime Minister Asquith said firmly!

    "Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" Winston Churchill had to reply.  But in fact, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.  The British Army has indeed formed an armored force, but the tanks it has are only tanks built by the British Army itself. Their performance cannot even be compared with the Chinese Army's T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank, let alone the Chinese Army's T5 'Cheetah' medium-sized tank.  Compared to tanks.  Moreover, the British Army's armored forces only have a few hundred tanks in total. Once put into the battlefield, they are destined to be easily annihilated by the Chinese Army's armored forces.  However, now Prime Minister Asquith has no other choice, he can only put all his hopes on it!

    "Your Highness, do the Chinese know that the royal family's wealth is in Birmingham? If they don't know, maybe they won't find the wealth even if they capture Birmingham!" said the Colonial Secretary, Lord George Nathaniel Curzon.  After all, the secret warehouse where the royal family stores wealth must be very secretive and will not be known so easily.  If the Chinese didn't know about it, maybe they wouldn't pose a threat to the royal family's wealth!

    "We can't be sure! However, Chinese spies are pervasive. Maybe they already know that the royal family's wealth is in Birmingham, so they march to Birmingham! In any case, we can't take this risk! Although these wealth belong to  It belongs to the British royal family, but when the country is in trouble, these wealth also belong to the entire UK!" said the Prince of Wales.

    "Your Highness, please rest assured that we will do our best to protect this wealth. The Chinese must not take it away!" Prime Minister Asquith said, patting his chest.

    "Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency Prime Minister, can we ask the Germans for help? If the German army can get there before Birmingham falls, it may be able to withstand the Chinese attack!" Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray suggested!

    ¡°No!¡± Prime Minister Asquith and the Prince of Wales said almost in unison.

    "We can't let the Germans know that the Germans are not good people. Now after two years of war, Germany has already gone crazy with poverty. If they know the whereabouts of this wealth, they will definitely transport it back to Germany! By then,  , the loss is the UK!" Prime Minister Asquith said.  Although Britain now needs to rely on Germany to protect the country, it is also on guard against Germany.  If the current situation were not critical, the British would not want to rely on surrendering to the Germans to save the country.  In the future, if given the chance, the British will definitely resist Germany.  Of course, the premise is that China must be defeated first!

    "If the Chinese don't know about the royal family's secret warehouse in Birmingham, then the gold and treasures are not in danger! If the Germans know about it, then we won't be able to keep this wealth!" The Prince of Wales also said!

    Therefore, Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray had to give up the suggestion of asking the Germans to take action!  After all, the Germans are no better than the Chinese.  The current relationship between Britain and Germany is simply taking advantage of each other!

    Then, Winston Churchill immediately made up his mind. He bypassed General Hamilton and gave an order to several elite units of the British Army, asking them to rush to Birmingham as soon as possible and then hold it here!  If Birmingham falls, they must take Birmingham back!  Admiral Hamilton was very dissatisfied with this.Come to Winston Churchill and strongly expressed his protest!  Winston Churchill had no choice but to tell Admiral Hamilton the truth.  After all, General Hamilton serves as the commander of the British Army's homeland defense. Without his cooperation, the mobilization of the British Army will cause a lot of trouble!

    "What? The royal wealth is in Birmingham? God! Why did they do this? Why did they transport the wealth there?" Admiral Hamilton jumped up immediately.  Originally, the royal family's wealth had nothing to do with the government and their soldiers.  However, now these wealth will fall into the hands of the Chinese, which immediately makes him very dissatisfied!

    "The royal family was also worried that after the fall of London, the wealth would be obtained by the enemy, so they transferred it. No one thought that the Chinese would land in Liverpool and launch an attack on Birmingham!" Winston Churchill said speechlessly!

    "Hell! The railway north of London was blown up by the Chinese. If we send reinforcements from London to Birmingham, we can only take the train to Northampton and then walk from Northampton to Birmingham. It will take at least three days  Time!" Admiral Hamilton said!

    "General, can we hold Birmingham?" Winston Churchill asked.

    "Your Majesty, it's difficult! Although you have ordered four armies to go to Birmingham for reinforcements, plus the two armies sent before, the total is only 300,000 people. With the strength of the Chinese army, it will defeat us 300,000 people."  Ten thousand people, maybe only 100,000 people are enough! What's more, the Chinese can also get support from fighter planes!" Admiral Hamilton said with some frustration!

    "That means we can't hold Birmingham anymore?" Winston Churchill asked.

    "Your Excellency, Minister, I will go to Birmingham in person. I will dispatch our main force to fight the Chinese in Birmingham! If we can win, then we can keep these wealth! If we fail, there is nothing we can do!" Hamilton  The admiral said!

    "Well, General, I support your decision! For wealth worth 200 million pounds, we must fight to the death with the Chinese!" said Winston Churchill.  The wealth of 200 million pounds is enough for them to fight!

    "Okay, Your Excellency, Minister, I will rush to Birmingham immediately. I will find a way to defend Birmingham!" Admiral Hamilton said!

    General Hamilton hurried to Birmingham. The British Army only had 4 corps in Birmingham, which was a garrison of 200,000 people, and most of them were second-line troops. It would be very difficult to hold on until reinforcements arrived!  By then, General Hamilton would have to lead hundreds of thousands of British troops to retake Birmingham.  This is a big challenge for him and the British army!

    At the same time, the Chinese Emperor Wang Yuze was receiving a secret report from the Director of Military Intelligence, General Wei Zhiyong.  As the former world hegemon, Britain is also a key target of the Military Intelligence Agency. The Military Intelligence Agency has deployed many spies in the UK to comprehensively explore British political, military and economic intelligence.  The British royal family is also a key target of surveillance by the Military Intelligence Agency!

    Although the British royal family transferred the royal family's wealth at the end of last year, everything was done very secretly, but it still left a lot of clues.  After tracking, the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau finally found out the truth of the matter.  The agents did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the situation to their superiors.  When it was finally summarized in the hands of General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was already time for the Chinese Army to land in the UK!

    "Your Majesty, we are 80% sure that the British royal family has transferred its wealth to secret warehouses around Birmingham. However, we still don't know where the secret warehouses are! If the army can capture Birmingham, it should be able to move these  Found it in the secret warehouse!" General Wei Zhiyong said excitedly!

    "Can you estimate how much wealth the British royal family transferred to Birmingham?" Wang Yuze asked.  Of course it would be best if we could obtain the wealth accumulated by the British royal family over hundreds of years!  China has spent billions of dollars on this war. Although the harvest has been staggering, the wealth accumulated over the years since the establishment of the empire has almost been spent!  If we can get a windfall, it will undoubtedly help the empire quickly regain its strength!

    "Your Majesty, according to our estimates, the wealth of the British royal family is estimated to be between 150 million pounds and 200 million pounds!" Lieutenant General Wei Zhiyong said!

    "That's 600 million to 800 million yuan? That's a lot! Let's do it, we must get this wealth!" Wang Yuze said domineeringly!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
