"Lost, the Royal Navy is finished. "
I don't know who yelled at the port, and suddenly the whole port fell into hysterical crying.
But they were still sad that they could not prevent the British Navy from being completely annihilated. Before the darkness was about to envelop the earth, the last British warship turned into a sea of fire in the shelling.
On the king class armored ship, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan smile triumphantly. Today, they finally take a bad breath.
However, their task is not over, it is just beginning.
"The emperor asked us to blockade Britain. From now on, we have to control all routes to Britain and prohibit all non imperial ships from passing through," Liu said. "
Xie Yuan nodded and said," in that case, you and I will divide our forces, one in the East and the other in the West. At the same time, we will destroy other British ports. "
Liu Chen nodded after hearing the speech.
The next day.
When the sun rises, the British in London find that all the warships of the Empire disappear overnight. A strange atmosphere suddenly envelops London, and all kinds of speculation spread in the streets.
Many people believe that the imperial warships chose to withdraw after destroying the British fleet, and some businessmen are even ready to set sail again for maritime trade.
But the bad news soon came that some armed merchant ships trying to go to sea were sunk by imperial warships patrolling the route. At this time, the British finally came back to the idea that the Imperial Navy blocked the British waters.
In the following time, news from all over Britain confirmed this fact. Imperial warships constantly attacked British cities along the coast and sank any merchant ship going to sea. "
the whole of Britain seems to be locked in a cage now, which makes Britain panic. At a time when the British industry is booming, the British economy mainly comes from the plundering of colonies and dumping of domestic industrial products.
It can be said that Britain's strength is due to the establishment of a vast colony and overseas trade. Now Britain's two lifelines have been cut off, and it won't be long before Britain becomes a country that doesn't belong to the class.
Compared with the British panic, the British nobles were even more unbearable. They gathered a large number of troops, mobilized all the people, and prepared to fight the Empire to the death on land.
But the Empire did not play according to the routine. Now the huge army has become a burden. It is a heavy burden for the British government to support so many soldiers without fighting.
After all, business is cut off, and Britain can't support so many troops at all.
"Murphy, you can't disband my army. The war has just begun. No one can guarantee whether the Empire will land. "
in the house, when Murphy proposed cutting off part of the army, Butlin was vehemently opposed.
"I didn't say now, but that if the blockade continues, we will have to make this decision. Think about it. Over the past two hundred years, the overseas colonies have supported 20 million British people. In fact, there is no way to support so many people by relying on British land. Once there is a food shortage, no one can guarantee what will happen to Britain next." Murphy's tone was deeply helpless.
The councillors were silent. The Royal Navy was finished. They were unable to lift the imperial blockade of the British coast.
Butling's face turned red with anger, but he knew his army could not fight at sea.
"We have lost this war. Without the Navy, Britain is just a duck. Without the sea and overseas colonies, Britain will fall into decline. In the future, even if the Empire withdraws, the declining Britain will be bullied by other European countries. In this case, we should not ask the Empire for forgiveness, money, land, market, and what they want As long as we can survive in Britain. " Cried one of the councillors.
"Shameless!"
"Throw him out!"
“……’
The speaker's voice fell, and the whole house was like boiling water. The members yelled and scolded one after another. The conditions mentioned by this man deeply hurt them, because this was their policy towards the colony.
However, some members have chosen to support this vocal member, because in their view, what they are facing now is the survival of Britain.
Murphy's mood is also very tangled. The most important problem he faces is the 20 million mouths on the island.
The prosperity of industry has made British businessmen circle a lot of agricultural land. At the same time, a large number of farmers work in urban factories, which makes British agriculture very vulnerable.
If we want to support so many people, Britain can only destroy industry and return to the era of agricultural country.
"Silence! Now is not the time for infighting. " Murphy roared, "now your majesty and Brooke are in Moscow. If your majesty is ready to make a difference in diplomacy, he will send people to contact the Empire. Now we just need to wait. "
after hearing this, the public stopped quarreling and had to wait in the face of an uncertain future.
Qingzhou.
The news of the London naval battle came here three months later. As soon as the news was published in the newspapers, the whole empire was boiling.
For them, this time they finally returned the humiliation they had suffered."Emperor, in the first World War in London, Britain will no longer be able to make waves on the sea. It's time to seize the British colony in South America as soon as possible."
In the imperial library, Pang Yukun said excitedly.
Cui Shangan said: "it's too much to blockade 60 warships in the British coastal area. Liu Chen also mentioned that it's impossible to completely prevent British ships from going to sea. The lower official suggested that a batch of mines produced by military factories should be sent to Europe as soon as possible to blockade the sea area. "
Xiao Ming nodded after hearing the speech.
With the development of imperial industry, the military industry system of the Empire has been improved day by day, and all kinds of weapons have special research laboratories.
If there are mines, there must be mines. Three months ago, the Imperial Navy successfully experimented with contact mines, which means that the Imperial Navy will have the ability to lay mines and block ports.
And this greatly reduces the heavy task of the warship.
"Mine is a good thing. You should urge the factories to produce as soon as possible. I'm afraid it won't be a year and a half for the British to give in this time." Xiao Ming said.
After a pause, he continued: "except for mines, the production of tanks and military vehicles can not be relaxed. For the Imperial Army, mechanization will be the next goal."
Cui Shangan felt excited when he heard that he could not sleep as long as he thought about the future battle of the Empire's large group of tanks, so he answered in a loud voice.
Pang Yukun said: "it's a matter of time before Britain capitulates. I have thought of the conditions that Britain will put forward after it capitulates. Isn't Britain trying to steal the technology of the Empire? Then the Empire will completely destroy the British industrial capacity this time, forbid them to study weapons, and keep them as sheep for shearing
