Chapter 394 It's North America's turn to host the world war this time! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

South East London, Kent, Medway Naval Port.

This military port guards the entrance of the Thames, which can be said to be the gateway to London.During the second Anglo-Dutch war that year, the daring Dutch fleet went deep into the Thames River, raided the Medway Naval Port, silenced the fort, burned or captured six British sailing battleships, and then blocked several Thames estuaries. month, forcing Britain to humiliate and seek peace.This battle is almost a national humiliation of the British Empire!

However, such a "battle of national humiliation" is now impossible to happen again. British Prime Minister Duke Wellington is very confident about this!
Because when he was in Vienna, he reached a consensus with Zhuge Weijiu, the plenipotentiary representative of Ming Dynasty - neither side could attack the opponent's homeland, so as not to hurt the peace, but also save face, and facilitate the post-war marriage to rule the world.

Well, this war is for the position of the boss and the second child, but no matter how much you fight, you can't let the current junior third be the second child!

Because there are actually two "little threes" in the current world, one is Rakshasa, and the other is America. Hehe, they are both ruthless characters!

Although the Duke of Wellington has secured the bottom line for the British Empire through private and secret diplomacy, this does not mean that the British Empire can lie flat in the future.Although the future of the British Empire is definitely not as big as it is now, how big it can be depends on how capable the British Empire is today.

The shit in continental Europe, the British have already made a fuss, the good thing about Rakshasa going south to Constantine has been disturbed, the situation of France and Rakshasa doing things in Rome has been messed up again, and by the way, Europe has also been opened Revolutionary Pandora's Box!
Next, some countries on the European continent will have a lot of headaches. The high-quality domestic population and capital have to go to the UK, and the UK can take the opportunity to use the pound to get their supplies to fight against Ming Dynasty.Although it was not possible to tie European countries to anti-Ming chariots as cannon fodder, that's okay, and the more than 2 million people of the filial sons of India and the rebellious sons of the United States can be "turned into ashes"!

In order to encourage the United States of America, which is full of martial arts, to be a cannon fodder that is not afraid of sacrifice or smashing North America, the British government that is Duke of Wellington's turn still has to come up with something good.

For example, the 200-ton "aircraft carrier" and the destroyer that towed the aircraft carrier, and of course the Kelly F2 carrier-based sea fighter with pontoons, the Kelly F1 fighter, and the pilots who flew these aircraft.

Today is the day for these equipment and personnel to leave the British Medway Naval Port for the New World on the other side of the ocean.

The security inside and outside the military port was heavily guarded, and it was rainy and foggy "good weather".Shrouded in rain and fog, a Kelly F1 or F2 aircraft was being hoisted by a large crane at the port to the airship mothership parked beside the pier—those [-]-ton airship motherships refitted from freighters.

Originally, the British Royal Navy wanted to use them to launch airship air strikes, but because of the large number of carrier-based aircraft, the British airships could only undertake high-altitude and long-duration reconnaissance and alert tasks, and the number needed was not large. A fleet brought a Two airship motherships are enough, so there are many airship motherships that have no airships to install them instead of aircraft.

Of course, these 80-ton airship motherships can also be used as aircraft carriers.Their aviation decks are all 100-[-] meters long, and they can take off and land carrier-based aircraft just by making do.

However, the speed of these airship motherships is too slow, the fastest is only [-] or [-] knots, and they can't keep up with the main fleet at all, so they can only be used as escort aircraft carriers if they are exhausted.

In addition, the pilots of the Royal Navy have not yet mastered how to land on the flight deck-landing on a rickety deck less than [-] meters long in the middle of the sea is much more difficult than taking off!Moreover, the British have not yet invented tools to assist landing such as arresting cables, arresting nets, and landing aid mirrors.

Therefore, the British Royal Navy can only use a 200-ton small aircraft carrier to load seaplanes for the time being. In the future, it will still have to be replaced with a large aircraft carrier or various aircraft-carrying warships—the aircraft-carrying battlecruisers built by Ming Dynasty, Due to the influence of aircraft-based frigates, the United Kingdom and the United States have also embarked on the evil path of combining battleships, cruisers, and aircraft carriers. At present, they are stepping up "stitch monsters" such as carrier-based aircraft-based armored cruisers.

On the pier, the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, and Rear Admiral George Elliot, who is about to go to the United States in the name of the head of the British Royal Navy Advisory Group, are strolling in the drizzle.Walking to the edge of the pier, watching the destroyers, airship motherships and 200-ton aircraft carriers waiting to depart on the sea, they stopped together.

The Duke of Wellington raised his cane, pointed at the ships waiting to set off on the sea, and asked George Elliot with a smile, "George, four airship carriers, 20 fast torpedo boat destroyers, 40 aircraft carriers, 60 Airplanes. I’ve given them all to you! There are still 12 Kelly IV airships on their way to the United States. With these, do you have the confidence to make a big splash in North America?”

"Duke," George Elliot said, not as optimistic as Duke Wellington, "It may be difficult for the Americans to defeat the Mexican-Japanese coalition forces and the Ming Dynasty behind them by relying on these ships and aircraft alone, because Ming Dynasty must also be attacking Mexico and Japan." The Japanese overseas Chinese in Texas are transporting equipment! Although their ships have to go around South America to be sent to the Caribbean Sea, their planes, cannons, and ammunition can be shipped directly to the west coast of Mexico. The situation is still not optimistic!"

The Duke of Wellington laughed, "George, you still don't understand what I mean. I don't expect you to help the United States completely defeat the Mexican-Japanese coalition forces. I just want to turn North America into the main force of the current world-class war." battlefield!"

"Duke, do you mean to turn North America into the main battlefield?" George Elliot thought for a while, "But the main target of Ming's next attack is likely to be Australia!"

The Duke of Wellington nodded, and said: "Of course I know where Da Ming's main attack will be next? But I also know that Da Ming will not ignore the Mexican Empire. Because they seem to have known clearly since more than 100 years ago. Potential of North America. So have been working hard to become an American country!
After the rise of the United States, Ming Dynasty began to spare no effort to support the Mexican Empire to fight against it.In fact, the Zhuge family of Ming Dynasty never regarded us, Britain, as an opponent.There are only three opponents in their eyes, one is the United States, one is the Rakshasa, and the other is the Indian Empire!Only these three countries have the strength to compete with the super empire of Ming Dynasty in the future!

But we, the United Kingdom, are just a small island country with a population of more than 2000 million, and we can't even become the core of a unified Europe, so we don't care about it at all.

George, I am very sure of this judgment!Because I have known them more than 30 years ago, whether it is Zhuge Weijiu or Zhuge Youde, I am very familiar with them, and I know what they are thinking! "

George Elliot nodded.In fact, he also knew the thoughts of the Zhuge family. As an elite of the British Royal Navy from a family, how could he not understand Daming and the Zhuge family?In fact, his graduation thesis at the Royal Naval Staff College was an analysis of Ming's European policy - Ming's European policy was the same as that of Britain, which could not allow European unification or the unification of most of it.

This is why they decisively changed their usual pro-French stance after Napoleon became the emperor of France, and turned to support Britain and Rakshasa!
Thinking of this, George Elliot nodded and said, "Duke, I understand that if the United States severely injures the Mexican-Japanese coalition forces on the Texas battlefield, Ming Dynasty will definitely increase its investment, even if they have to invest much more financial and material resources than the United States. They will not hesitate to invest in turning the tide of battle in North America! And the more they invest in North America, the less they can spend on India and Australia."
