1890 King of Southeast Asia
Chapter 852: The Fragile Empire
At 8 am on March 2, 1917, London time, the sunlight just pierced the thick and thick fog in London in early spring.
The two consecutive years of war made the city quiet a lot, and it seemed so calm.
Woohoo ~~~
Suddenly, alarm sounded at the pier, and the warships stopped at the dock emerged in an emergency. A large number of soldiers were kicked out of the barracks and rushed towards the shore defense facilities.
The sudden alarm disrupted the order of the ancient city. Because of the unclear the truth of the matter, people began to panic, fear, and eventually developed into confusion.
The police in London have lost their effects, and the Prime Minister ordered the army to maintain order.
No. 10 Tangning Street.
"Marshal, the army suddenly made such a big move, what is it for? Has the Royal Navy have been defeated?" arrive.
"It may be worse than this, Prime Minister, which is why I came to Tangning Street 10th. The Navy's investigation fleet found that a German war fleet broke through our blockade and was driving towards the local."
"We don't know where the Germans' goals are, but the investigation fleet found that they had carried a transport ship. We could not rule out the possibility of preparing to be on the 6th local.
"The main force of the Navy is now in the north of Beihai. It is temporarily unable to return. The British 6th Army fights for the last moment for the Kingdom of the Kingdom. However, we cannot guarantee that we can block the Germans' offense."
"So I suggest you, Prime Minister, Minister and His Majesty, and take the train to Portal Port in the south first. Where can there be one fast battleship, you can send you to France or Canada at all times."
Kinaqin didn't look at the Italian guard at all. He is still foggy now and is in a hurry to get angry.
Most of the 6th Army in the United Kingdom sent France, and a large number of resources were also sent to France. The coastal defense was a mess. Except for several important ports, the progress of the coastal defense work in other places was very slow, which was almost equal to no defense.
This time the Germans' actions were completely out of his expected, which caused him to mobilize urgently and make the worst plan -London's fall.
"Why! Will there be a German battle fleet ... How big is their scale?" David stood up angrily.
"At least 6, Prime Minister, the investigating fleet found at least 6 battleships." David just finished, and the phone in the office of the Prime Minister's office rang.
"Marshal, the coastal defense department, find you." The Secretary of the Prime Minister picked up the phone, nodded, and told Kinain.
"Sorry Prime Minister." Kinaqin gave David 1, David waved his hand, walked to the window next to the window, and looked out the window.
"Do you confirm it? Okay, I know, the urgent mobilization of the troops, the unfinished coastal defense of the coastal industrial construction, and retreating to the city to build a street base."
"Tell the soldiers that for the glory of the British Empire, adhere to every 1 -inch land, and support it on the road." Kinaqin's face was twice darkened.
"Is the matter reaching that level? Marshal." David heard Kinaqin's words very shocked.
Can you start playing? Give up the coast and retreat into the city to prepare for alleys?
"The latest situation discovered by the investigating patrol boat, a fleet of the old -style battleship was three or ten miles behind the German battle fleet, and it was also driving towards the British native, with more than ten ships."
Saying here, Kinaqin looked at a watch.
"According to their progress, maybe we can see this afternoon that the German Navy's artillery shells fall in the United Kingdom." Kinaqin stared at his watch, his eyes were intently.
David's face was red and black, black and red, and finally patted the table fiercely.
"This is impossible! Since the victory of the British and Dutch War, no artillery shells in one country fall into the territory of England, which will make me a laughingstock, which will cause a big political storm!"
David is roaring,
"What about our fleet? What about the old -style battleships? So many warships who perform patrol missions can't stop the Germans' ten and eight warships?"
"Also, let Jeleko immediately! Immediately! Come back with the big fleet of the Royal Navy! Destroy the German fleet!"
David 1 is not interfered with military demands. He has always advocated professional affairs to let professional people do it. He is only responsible for the general direction and not responsible for specific things.
This is what he learned when he was serving as the minister of the military.
However, now, he has no other way. The Germans' artillery shells fall on the British land. Not only will he be a laughing stock, the surrender will also occupy the upper hand immediately.
Britain cannot accept failure. At least it cannot be surrendered. The end of the surrender is that the British Empire collapsed and lost most of the overseas territory. Only Britain 3 islands cannot support a powerful empire.
"Follow your order, Prime Minister, but I think you'd better make a phone call to the General Staff Department of the Navy to express your concerns about the coastal defense."
"At the same time, I hope you can think carefully and go to Puzmouth."
Kinaqin comforted David.
David is a good person, and Britain has just experienced the Prime Minister's replacement. Now it is not necessary to replace it at will.
"The Prime Minister can't help but retreat. Marshal. This is London. It is the heart of the empire. The Prime Minister must express like a warrior, not a coward.
"Marshal, the king will go to the southern manor for vacation. At this special moment, I hope you can send one person to protect the safety of the king and the royal family members."
"In addition, the former Prime Minister Asquis is a good person, and he is a very capable person. I think His Majesty King is very willing to communicate with him."
David directly rejected Kinaqin's proposal and began to set up his future.
He cannot leave, otherwise the morale of the army and the people will be affected, and several other important departments cannot leave. They must cooperate with the transfer of important property and documents.
This is an important guarantee for continuing to maintain the British Empire.
"Mr. Asques is an excellent candidate, Mr. Prime Minister, you are a warrior." Kinain admired.
Asques stepped down because of the Irish uprising, and even after stepped down, it was still the Liberal Party leader.
The Liberal Party was the first major party in Britain at this time. Asquers also served as the Prime Minister of 9 years. It was the best candidate for the establishment of a new government.
After Kinaqin left, David ignited the cigarette and dialed the phone of General Fishr, the first naval minister.
"Mr. General, the Germans and transport ships are moving closer to Britain, and will reach the British home at most in the evening."
"Yes, I believe they cannot defeat Britain without aid. Their final ending is to be eliminated."
"His Majesty King and the royal family will go to the south to take a vacation. Former Prime Minister Asquers will go with the title of King Consultant 1."
"I hope that the Navy can notify the government for 1 to their combat plans, rather than now, we are not prepared." We are not prepared. "
"That's it, I need to prepare for the London defense war."
David talked with him a few words and hung up the phone decisively.
..............
"It is a queen -class battleship. It’ s good. There are all 6 ships in total. If you sink all, you do n’t have to distinguish who is who is. "Leinhart said a cold joke.
It is indeed a cold joke, because no one laughed in the command room.
"The Baden came out before, followed by the Bavaria, the Vottenburg and the Saxony ranked 3rd, and each deal with one queen -class battleship."
"The King of the King, Emperor Emperor Hou, Border Governor, and King William, two ships deal with one."
"The rest of the ships freely allocate firepower and end the battle as soon as possible."
Reinhart did not have an overwhelming advantage. He did not believe that the British would send only 6 queen -class battleships to fight alone. In other directions, there may be British ambush.
Especially when the intelligence was suspected, Ryinharrt couldn't dare to determine whether the British had not yet been in place, or was trying to block the road of their home.
He couldn't fail and couldn't afford it.
At 8:10 in London time, the Baden battleship first fired, and 4 380 mm artillery shells flew towards a British warship at 16 kilometers away.
After the Baden, other German warships also started fire.
At 8:17, the British Queen -class warship began to fight back. At this time, the distance between the two sides was 15,000 kilometers.
At this distance, the British suddenly turned to the left two ten degrees.
The speed of the British warships is maintained at 2 ten twenty -two knots, while the German warship speed is only ten and eight, and the speed of the two sides is 4 navigation, which is the speed difference between 7 kilometers per hour.
The British position is in the southeast of the Germans, and the Germans are driving towards the southeast. After this turn, if the Germans do not change their routes, the two parties will appear.
Reinhart did not dare to bet on the chances of the queen -class battleship 381 shells, but if they turned, their routes would change.
"Six queen -level ..." Reinhart put down the observation remote mirror and thought silently in his mouth.
The Bavarian captain secretly glanced at him several times, and Reinhart naturally discovered.
The British played Yangmou.
"Spread ten destroyers and search south at full speed."
"Taking advantage of the British turn, the maximum rate of fire of the entire fleet was turned on, and the smoke was prepared. When the distance between the two sides was 122 kilometers, the smoke was released.
Reinhart knows that the most important thing at this time is to make a choice rather than hesitation, even if it is a wrong choice, it is better than hesitation.
Boom! Intersection Intersection
Under the 1st order of Reinhart, the 380/350 mm heavy artillery on the Bavarian and king -level warships and the 305mm guns began to set fire towards the British who were turning.
When the fleet turns, the flexibility of the battleship is greatly reduced, the speed will decrease, and its route can also be expected.
At this time, the hit rate will increase greatly, so in the mainstream navy, it is rare to turn to this tactic in front of the enemy -but the Japanese Navy has served as a decisive war.
