The first thousand three hundred and five chapters of the United Kingdom
After the war progressed to 1913, the war became increasingly difficult for the Allied Powers! First of all, the United States collapsed, and the world's largest industrial power was destroyed by China, which directly caused heavy losses to the Allied Powers. Although the combat effectiveness of the US military was poor, the United States was
In the early stages of the war, the Allies' most powerful enemy, China, was held back. Otherwise, the Allies would not have been able to
It cannot last for such a long time. In addition, the strong industrial strength of the United States has also been revealed, which not only meets the consumption of the US military, but can even have excess weapons and other strategic materials to support the European battlefield. After the United States was destroyed, Britain, France and Russia
All three countries have lost the support of the United States, which has greatly affected the war strength of the three countries!
Russia, in particular, was originally one of the countries with the weakest industrial strength among the great powers. After losing the support of the United States, the Russian Army could not even manage a rifle. Now Russia is in the middle of a conflict between China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
During the siege of the coalition forces, the fierce fighting in the Siberian plain is still going on.
Continue, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Russia is defeated. Once Russia is defeated, the Chinese troops armed to the teeth will fight all the way to Europe along the Trans-Siberian Railway. By then, the entire Western world will be in a state of
Among the threats from East Asia's yellow-skinned monkeys.
The situation of Britain and France is also very bad. The Germans don't know what medicine they took, and they seem to be going crazy. Starting from this spring, the main force of the German army launched the most powerful attack on the British and French coalition forces since the war began. Moreover, aircraft and tanks
The application of new weapons such as armored vehicles and armored vehicles doubled the combat power of the German army. The British and French allied forces were beaten and complained terribly.
Retreating steadily. Although Paris is still under the control of the British and French forces, everyone believes that it will not be long before the Germans' iron hooves enter Paris. After losing Paris, the French, who had already suffered heavy losses,
Do you still have the courage to continue the war? Once France admits defeat, the remaining Britain will be unable to support itself!
The war has progressed and it is now very clear. The Allied Powers composed of Britain, France, the United States and Russia have been completely defeated in this war! The United States has been destroyed, Russia and France are about to be destroyed. As for the United Kingdom, if nothing else happens, say
It may only end up being destroyed. However, the British, who have been the maritime overlords for hundreds of years, really don’t want to see that day come. The British are a little disgusted.
I hate why the Germans are still unwilling to armistice with the Allies after the Chinese have shown a threat to the entire Western world. As long as the Western world can unite, it is completely capable of confronting China! However, the Germans' wrong decision made
The Chinese took advantage of this opportunity to destroy the United States and no longer had to worry about fighting on two fronts. This also doomed the Allied Powers and even the entire Western world to a tragic end!
The only Prime Minister's Office at No. 10 Downing Street has always been the center of British power. The British royal family living in Buckingham Palace is just a puppet with little power. When Britain became a maritime hegemon and established a huge empire on which the sun never sets,
Decisions made here can even affect the entire world.
However, as the war became more and more unfavorable to the Allied Powers, the Prime Minister's Office at No. 10 Downing Street seemed to be declining!
On the evening of May 10, British Prime Minister Asquith met with Major General West, the head of MI5. Prime Minister Asquith, who is only in his early sixties, already has white hair and an old look on his face.
.As the war situation became more and more unfavorable to Britain, the pressure on him became more and more intense. Coupled with the lack of rest, he aged very quickly!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the specific situation is this. Our intelligence personnel in Germany have learned that the Chinese are about to attack Gibraltar. Moreover, our intelligence personnel in Egypt have also confirmed that the main force of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet has passed through a week ago.
Canal, according to the speed of the Chinese, it will take at most two to three days before they launch an attack on Gibraltar!" Major General West reported!
"Gibraltar! Do the Chinese really want to turn the Mediterranean into their own lake?" Prime Minister Asquith looked a little helpless. There is no doubt that although China is in the east of the world, they definitely have the power to control the Mediterranean now.
!
"If the intelligence we got is correct, it should be like this! With the strength of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet, our Mediterranean Fleet simply cannot resist their attack!" Rear Admiral West said. The British Navy suffered losses in the Battle of Sicily
Later, in the disastrous naval battle in the Bahamas, all super battleships were lost. The Mediterranean fleet did not have a single capital ship. It was absolutely impossible to confront the Chinese navy in the Indian Ocean!
Prime Minister Asquith nodded. Although this result made him feel a deep shame, he understood that this was the fact. The British Royal Navy was no longer the world hegemon it had been. The Chinese had guided the navy twice in succession.
Events have changed. Even though the UK is struggling to catch up, it still lags behind. If it falls behind, it will be beaten. And the UK will pay a heavy price for this, such as losing its status as a world hegemon, and more seriously.
What’s more important is that maybe even the country will be destroyed! From what the Chinese have done in the United States, we can see how ruthless the Chinese are. In Europe, wars of annihilation rarely occur. But the Chinese, in order to eliminate potential
The threat is absolutely unstoppable. Therefore, Prime Minister Asquith is very worried about what will happen to Britain once it is defeated, and whether it will be dismembered by the Chinese like the United States.
"General West, is it possible that this news is a trap? A German trap! They want us to send the main force of the navy to fight the Chinese, and then they take the opportunity to rush out of the North Sea! After all, the Germans are on the Western Front battlefield
After victory, if our navy cannot protect our security, the Germans will land on the British Isles!" Prime Minister Asquith suddenly asked. He suddenly realized that this might be possible!
"This... Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we do not rule out the possibility! However, if it needs to be confirmed, it will take a lot of time!" Major General West said with some embarrassment!
"Okay, I understand, you go down!" Prime Minister Asquith said. After Major General West left, Prime Minister Asquith immediately asked the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office to convene an emergency meeting with cabinet members. After all, China
People intend to attack Gibraltar. This is a big deal for the UK. He cannot make the decision alone and needs to consult other cabinet ministers for their opinions!
Soon the cabinet members rushed to the Prime Minister's Office, but almost everyone looked a little ugly, even the usually most arrogant War Secretary Winston.
Churchill was also sullen.
"Why is the Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Gray, not here?" Prime Minister Asquith asked with a frown. After other cabinet members arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, the Foreign Secretary who was closest to the Prime Minister's Office still had to arrive.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs say that Sir Edward Gray is receiving the Spanish Ambassador to the United Kingdom!" said the Prime Minister's secretary.
"Spaniards? What do they want to do?" Prime Minister Asquith thought with some confusion. But then he decided to ignore the matter. Now that all the cabinet members except the Foreign Secretary are here, the meeting begins immediately!
"Everyone, MI5 has received news from Germany that the Chinese intend to launch an attack on Gibraltar. The attack is expected to be within the next two or three days! What should we do?" Prime Minister Asquith said!
"The Chinese are so greedy! They have already controlled the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Strait of Malacca. These world transportation arteries are all under their control. Now they want to seize the Strait of Gibraltar. Do they really want to seize the Strait of Gibraltar?"
Do you want to control all the world's transportation arteries?" Finance Minister David.
Lloyd.
George complained!
"Sir George, the Chinese don't just think about it, they have already done it!" Colonial Secretary George.
Nathaniel.
Marquis Curzon said. During the Chinese attack, Britain has lost most of its colonies, and now only the colonies in Africa are still under control. However, once the Chinese free their hands, these colonies will definitely be destroyed.
It will also be occupied by the Chinese!
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else! The Chinese are going to attack Gibraltar, can we resist their attack?" Prime Minister Asquith knocked on the table and then asked!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am sorry! The Mediterranean Fleet now only has a few heavy cruisers and some light cruisers and destroyers left! There is not a single battleship. The Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet now has 12 battleships and 1 battlecruiser.
This is the result of them decommissioning old battleships! Among these battleships, 7 are captured battleships by us, and the other two are captured battleships by the French Navy!" John, the Minister of the Navy.
Sir Fisher said with a wry smile. During the Battle of Sicily, the British and French naval fleets suffered heavy losses and a large number of battleships were captured. Now, after being repaired, these captured battleships have become the main force of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet.
Such a result made everyone in the UK feel a deep shame!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Army has only one regiment in Gibraltar, with more than 2,000 people. The Navy also has a battalion of Marines there, with a total of more than 3,000 people. If the Chinese launch an attack, it will be difficult for us to resist them.
