Admiralty Rooms, Whitehall Street, London.
Lieutenant General William Baga, Commander of the Caribbean Squadron of the Royal Navy, who had just retired from the Atlantic battlefield, was at this time reporting to the British Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord of the Admiralty, Viscount Palmerston, the Foreign Secretary, Robert Peel, and the First Sea Secretary of State Sir Hardy, Director of Ordnance Somerset and others talked about their experiences of the Second Battle of the Atlantic.
Although he escaped very quickly and made the American friendly forces suffer, he still learned some lessons from the Americans' failures.
"First of all, our aircraft carrier and Kelly F1 carrier-based aircraft seem to be incapable of meeting the fleet's air defense needs. The 200-ton aircraft carrier is too small and can only carry one aircraft. And it can only carry seaplanes... That kind of seaplane had two large pontoons, which was too clumsy and made it a target for enemy aircraft in an air battle. According to the Americans’ subsequent reports, their F1 aircraft didn’t even have a chance to shoot, and was shot by the Chinese. The plane was shot down from behind with a machine gun!"
After hearing this, Lord Lord Palmerston, Lord of the Admiralty, frowned and asked Somerset, the Director of Ordnance: "Fitzroy, does the Director of Ordnance have any good solutions to this?"
"Of course!" Ordnance Director Somerset nodded solemnly, "We are going to issue a submachine pistol that can be fired repeatedly to aviation pilots, so that when the enemy planes get behind our pilots, they can use the charge The pistol fired back!"
"Oh," the Admiralty was surprised, but nodded, "Okay, this is really a genius idea!"
Somerset shook his head: "No, no, that's not a genius solution, it's just an emergency plan. But we will soon have a large fleet aircraft carrier. We use the hull of the Strong-class armored cruiser under construction and Blake The hull of the class armored cruiser has been modified with four aircraft-carrying armored cruisers. It has now been completed and is undergoing sea trials.
Plus, we got a really great aircraft from the Austrian Empire - the Pigeon Plane! This is a two-seat monoplane that weighs only 1,760 pounds and is very flexible. After we obtained this aircraft, we made improvements. We installed a 120-horsepower engine on this aircraft and changed it from a two-seater to a single-seater. Now this kind of aircraft can take off from an aircraft-carrying armored cruiser, and its maximum level flight speed is as high as 100 knots! "
"This is great!" The Minister of the Navy was elated, "We finally have aircraft and aircraft-carrying warships that can compete with the Ming Dynasty... and the Americans are now tied to our tanks. ! President Jackson has recently proposed convening a trilateral summit involving the United States, India, and our country, the United Kingdom, to jointly discuss the war against tomorrow, Japan, and Mexico. I think we can really use this summit to formulate a strategy for comprehensively attacking the enemy!"
Sir Hardy, the First Sea Lord, immediately echoed: "Duke, we should indeed come up with a three-nation joint combat strategy as soon as possible. Now the conflicts in the American battlefield and the Indian battlefield have fully broken out, and only the Pacific battlefield has not yet fully started. The Navy believes that the Ming Dynasty's next phase of operations is likely to focus on launching an attack on Australia... In fact, in the past few months, they have been steadily advancing southward, constantly approaching Papua - Build docks, fortifications and airports on the islands and reefs of New Guinea and the Solomon Islands! The reason why they did not invest in the Pacific Fleet to launch a fierce attack on Australia may be because they want to concentrate their limited aviation forces in the Caribbean and Atlantic directions to help Mexico and Texas win the advantage in fighting the United States.”….
Having said this, the British First Sea Lord smiled and said: "Now, the war situation in North America is quite ideal for the Ming Dynasty... The United States has been tied to the chariot by us, and Mexico has also become their agent. No matter how the fight ends, the United States and Mexico will never become great countries!"
After a period of confrontation and private testing, Britain has fully grasped Ming's final intentions - Ming's purpose in launching this war was first to seize world leadership; second, to confirm its absolute dominance in the Pacific region ; The third is to fully weaken the two potential competitors, India and the United States.
The realization of the latter two goals also means that the first goal
The standard can be fully realized!
Now the United States has fallen into a North American ground war that will be very brutal, while India is in a passive state that may encounter a fierce attack from the Ming Dynasty at any time. The goal of fully weakening India and the United States can be said to be close to completion.
Only the all-out attack on Australia from the Pacific direction has not yet begun...and this Pacific-Australia battle must be decisive.
Because once the Ming Dynasty seizes Australia and becomes the absolute ruler of the entire Pacific region, the British Empire and the entire Western world will face an absolutely invincible enemy!
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty, which controls the entire Pacific, is also able to place the battlefield in the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, while keeping the areas around the Pacific under its control in a state of peace that has been quiet for many years.
In this case... the war can be fought for as long as it wants, and it will hardly cause the people of Ming Dynasty to feel any pain. In this way, Ming Dynasty will be invincible, and Great Britain will of course be invincible.
The Duke of Wellington also knew that the British Empire could no longer hide behind the "rebellious America" and the "filial India"... because Australia does not belong to the United States, nor is it the territory of India.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "It seems that it is time to invite our Emperor William back to London. He is the king of the United Kingdom and the supreme ruler of the entire British Empire. Only he can lead the British people to join a war." A cruel, long, world-wide war that is likely to result in failure!"
Contrary to what many people imagine, the British royal power is not "rule without rule" from a legal perspective, but "the king is under the law." The royal power needs to be limited by the Bill of Rights, but it does not mean that the royal power is gone. According to British law, the king also has several powers, including "declaring war", "appointing and removing the prime minister", "vetoing and approving laws", etc. He is also the supreme commander of the British armed forces.
Only starting from Queen Anne, the British monarchs did not use their royal power very much. Instead, they passed all responsibilities to Parliament and the cabinet, and then resigned themselves to becoming rubber stamps.
But the current Emperor William of the British Empire is a little different from the previous "rubber kings"... He has already tasted the sweetness of power in India, and has reached the point where he is "happy here, but not thinking about England" .
It is really difficult to invite him back to the UK to take charge of the overall situation.
But if he doesn't come back, he will have to stay in India...then according to the law, the United Kingdom will have to recognize him as the commander-in-chief in wartime and ask him to exercise some royal power.
In other words, the United Kingdom must obey the orders of an Indian monarch and join in a bloody war!
"Robert," the Duke of Wellington knew he couldn't leave, so he pushed this troublesome issue to the Foreign Secretary Robert Peel, "you go to India... you must take Emperor William Please come back, he should at least declare a state of war against Ming in London!"
Robert Peel frowned slightly, "Prime Minister, if His Majesty the Emperor refuses to return, what should I do?"
Yes, what should we do? It’s not like he can be tied back with a rope...and the current British government and parliament have no ability to deprive Emperor William of the throne of the United Kingdom. He is now in India, and the guillotine made by the British is not a threat to an Indian emperor. of!
The Duke of Wellington thought for a while and said, "I will send a message to the Marquis of Nelson, and he will try his best to persuade the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor trusts our naval hero the most, and he will most likely come back."
