Imperial Overlord

Again, some parts of the world are tyrannical, and some places are relatively peaceful. After circumventing the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, Phillips finally entered the Indian Ocean.

Unlike his previous estimates, South Africa rejected his request for supplies, and he did not have the strength to spend in a place like South Africa.

Originally he had 4 battleships and 1 aircraft carrier, so the South African government had to bow its head and think seriously about the harm that the other party could cause to itself.

But now it's different. The German electrification has made it very clear that the defected Barham and Warspite have surrendered.

In addition, Phillips' only aircraft carrier has also become a trophy of the German Navy, and the current Phillips fleet is no longer so terrible.

Forcing the opponent to have insufficient strength, playing legal or emotional cards, South Africa is not willing to eat, so Phillips' original plan to stay in Africa was completely in vain, and he could only leave with two battleships in embarrassment.

Until now, the battleship has entered the Indian Ocean, and Phillips finally relaxed a little.

Therefore, the former British naval commander of the British Navy who left with the fleet resolutely walked to the door of the VIP room next to the captain's room with a bottle of red wine.

Then he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door very gentlemanly. To be honest, he was a little nervous at this time, even more nervous than leading the army to leave Scapa Flow.

"Come in!" A crisp voice came from the door, and Phillips opened the door and walked in.

The decoration in the room is very particular. In fact, the Royal Navy before the defeat was very particular. It was probably the most respectable navy in the world.

This room is the "weapon" that Phillips secretly took away from England, the important "cargo" prepared for him by King George VI.

I saw Queen Elizabeth sitting in a chair, half-imprisoned. She is the secret weapon to legalize India and the Middle East, Myanmar and other regions, and is a new hope for both sides of the British royal family.

Churchill was able to get American support, but Churchill is now dead. It was more appropriate for Elizabeth to join the British generals in India than to be a puppet in Canada.

This is also an important reason why Phillips insisted not to go to America, which is relatively safer, but to go south when he formulated his plan.

"What? The defeated general is finally willing to meet his master?" Elizabeth was still a young girl at this time, but she spoke more sharply than her father.

Even if some people are emperors, they are not suitable to be emperors. For example, Song Huizong is such an existence. Some people are born to be a queen, like Elizabeth.

"I didn't expect the German's interception to be so precise, I would take the responsibility for the failure... Your Highness..." Phillips said painfully, putting the red wine in his hand on the table embarrassingly.

He loves the navy, and he loves his country too. If it weren't for the collapse of the situation, he would not choose to take the risk and betray the fleet at a critical time.

It was precisely because George VI gave him a better choice and made him feel that he could continue to fight with the fleet, that he resolutely launched the rebellion.

However, the result was a bit embarrassing - he saved two battleships, but cost Britain six battleships.

"There will always be failures in wars, and a failure doesn't mean anything." Elizabeth comforted her general, obviously she did not intend to blame the failure on the admiral in front of her.

In fact, although Phillips's starting point was to retain the naval fleet, what he did did indeed support Queen Elizabeth, who was about to stand on her own.

If Li Le is asked to choose an opponent, he who is familiar with the history of later generations would rather fight against a short-lived George VI than face a long-lived old lady who can live to 2017 or more.

Sadly, Her Majesty has now reached the Indian Ocean, almost to the edge of the area that Germany can reach.

After hearing Elizabeth's words, Phillips was really excited. Clearly Elizabeth was a better object of allegiance, a wiser boss than her father.

"I will lead the fleet and support you in India to continue to fight! I will fight for you to the end of your life, until the glory of the British Empire is restored!" Phillips felt the warmth of Elizabeth's safety, and with tears in his eyes, Kneeling down on one knee to express her loyalty to Elizabeth.

Phillips himself cannot survive at sea for a long time. He needs a huge logistics base to support his fleet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although there are only two warships, this is still a big consumer of materials. He can only survive if India and the Middle East support him and keep his fleet alive.

Without support, his fleet would not even be able to reach Australia and would self-destruct at sea for lack of fuel and supplies.

So for Phillips, supporting a new royal family and continuing to exist as a British overseas power is the choice that best serves his fundamental interests.

With Elizabeth, the fleet could be supported by both Montgomery and Mountbatten.

And they must be willing to see the arrival of a fleet, because their fragile Indian Ocean also needs a fleet to protect.

Both parties get what they need, which is exactly the basis of cooperation. With the banner of the Queen, the United States is expected to provide assistance, and the logistics of the fleet will be guaranteed.

The fleet that has left the British mainland is actually a rootless duckweed, and the huge caliber cannon cannot replenish shells overseas. This is the key to limiting the combat capability of this fleet.

If the U.S. can provide some stockpiles of artillery shells, the Indian fleet will be able to fight... well, or a limited operation.

No large warships of this fleet could be wounded in battle, as India and Burma did not have large repair yards for warships.

Take a look at India's shipbuilding capabilities and naval maintenance capabilities today, and you can see how whimsical it is to count on this country to support a huge fleet.

Therefore, this fleet is still unable to participate in high-intensity naval battles, and can only barely support the defense of the Indian Ocean, which is regarded as an "existence navy".

What is even more worrying is that Japan is now raging in China, and is eyeing Southeast Asia. It is still unknown who the British Navy in the Indian Ocean will fight.
