London, Whitehall Street, Admiralty Boardroom.

Lieutenant Admiral William Baga, Commander of the Caribbean Sub-Fleet of the British Royal Navy, who has just retreated from the Atlantic battlefield, is presenting to the British Prime Minister the Duke of Wellington, Lord Palmerston, Minister of the Navy, and Robert Peel, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Secretary of State Sir Hardy, Director of Ordnance Somerset and others talked about their experience of the Second Battle of the Atlantic.

Although he slipped very fast and made the American allies suffer, he still summed up some lessons from the failure of the Americans.

"First of all, our aircraft carrier and Kelly F1 carrier-based aircraft seem to be unable to meet the needs of fleet air defense. The 200-ton aircraft carrier is too small and can only carry one aircraft. And it can only carry seaplanes. The two big buoys are too clumsy, and they are completely the target of enemy planes in air combat. According to the reports of the Americans afterwards, their F1 planes did not even have a chance to shoot, but were shot by Chinese planes with machine guns from behind. It's down!"

Lord Palmerston, the Secretary of the Navy, frowned and asked Somerset, Director of Ordnance, "Fitzroy, does the Directorate of Ordnance have any good solutions to this?"

"Of course!" Ordnance Director Somerset nodded solemnly, "We are going to issue a submachine gun that can fire in bursts to the aviation pilots, so that when the enemy planes circle around behind our pilots, they can charge The pistol fired back!"

"Oh," the Secretary of the Admiralty was taken aback, but still nodded, "well, this is really a genius method!"

Somerset shook his head: "No, no, that's not a genius solution, it's just a contingency plan. But we will soon have a large fleet of aircraft carriers, and we will use the hull of the mighty-class armored cruiser under construction and the Blake The hull of the class armored cruiser has been refitted with four aircraft-carrying armored cruisers. It has now been completed and is undergoing sea trials.

Plus, we got a really good aircraft from the Austrian Empire - the Pigeon!This is a two-seat monoplane that weighs only 1760 pounds and is very maneuverable.After we got this kind of plane, we improved it again, installed a 120-horsepower engine for this kind of plane, and changed it from a two-seater to a single-seater.Now this kind of aircraft can take off from the aircraft-carrying armored cruiser, and the maximum level flight speed is as high as 100 knots! "

"This is great!" The Secretary of the Navy beamed with joy, "We finally have a plane and a warship carrying the plane that can wrestle with Daming, and the Americans are now tied to the chariot by us! President Jackson has proposed a few days ago Convene a three-country summit with the participation of the United States, India, and the United Kingdom to discuss the war against tomorrow, Japan, and Mexico. I think we can use this summit to formulate a comprehensive strategy to meet the enemy!"

The First Sea Lord Sir Hardy immediately echoed: "Duke, we really should 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 opened. And The Admiralty believes that Ming’s next phase of operations will focus on launching an attack on Australia. In fact, in the past few months, they have been steadily advancing southward, approaching Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Building docks, fortifications, and airports on the islands and reefs! 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 on the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean to help Mexico and Texas win the war against the U.S. combat advantage."

Speaking of this, the British First Sea Lord smiled and said: "Now, the war situation in the direction of North America is quite ideal for Ming. The United States has been tied to the chariot by us, and Mexico has become their No matter what happens in the end, the United States and Mexico will not become great countries!"

After a period of confrontation and private probing, the UK has fully grasped Ming's ultimate intentions - the purpose of Ming's launch of this war is to seize the leadership of the world; the second is to determine its absolute dominance in the Pacific region The third is to fully weaken India and the United States, the two potential competitors.

The realization of the latter two goals also means that the first goal can be fully realized!
Now the United States has fallen into a ground war in North America that will be fought very tragically, while India is in a passive state that may encounter a fierce attack from 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 full-scale attack on Australia in the Pacific direction has not yet begun, and this Pacific-Australian battle must be decisive.

Because once Ming seizes Australia and becomes the absolute ruler of the entire Pacific Ocean, the British Empire and the entire Western world will face an absolutely invincible enemy!

Moreover, Ming, who controls the entire Pacific Ocean, has the ability to place the battlefield in the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and keep the Pacific Ocean area under his control basically in a state of peace for years.

Under such circumstances, the war can be fought as long as it wants, and the people of Ming Dynasty will hardly feel any pain.In this way, Ming would be invincible, and Great Britain would of course be invincible.

The Duke of Wellington also knew that the British Empire could no longer hide behind the "America of the Naughty Son" and the "Great India of the Dutiful Son" 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, the supreme ruler of the entire British Empire, and only he can lead the British people to join a battle. Cruel, long, world war that is likely to suffer defeat!"

Contrary to what many people imagine, from a legal point of view, the British monarchy is not "rule but not rule", 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", and is also the supreme commander of the British armed forces.

It's just that since Queen Anne, the British monarchs have not used their royal power very much, but have shifted the responsibility to the Parliament and the cabinet, and then they have become rubber stamps.

But the current Emperor William of the British Empire is a little different from the previous "rubber kings". He has tasted the sweetness of power in India, and he has reached the point where "here is fun, not thinking about English".

It is really difficult to invite him back to the UK to preside over the overall situation.

But if he doesn't come back, he will stay in India. According to the law, the United Kingdom has to recognize him as the commander-in-chief during the war and ask him to exercise a little royal power.

In other words, the United Kingdom must obey the will of an Indian monarch and join a bloody war!

"Robert," the Duke of Wellington knew that he couldn't leave, so he pushed this troublesome issue to the Foreign Secretary Robert Peel, "Go to India and definitely invite Emperor William 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 insists on not returning, what should I do?"

Yes, what should I do?He cannot be tied back with a rope. Moreover, the current British government and parliament have no ability to deprive Emperor William of the United Kingdom. He is now in India, and the guillotine made in Britain cannot threaten an Indian emperor!

The Duke of Wellington thought for a while and said, "I will send electricity to the Marquis Nelson, and he will try his best to persuade the emperor. His Majesty the Emperor trusts our naval hero the most, and he will probably come back."
