Iron Dynasty

Losing, the Royal Navy is done.

Someone in the port shouted aloud, and the entire port fell into hysterical cries.

But their grief still could not prevent the British navy from being wiped out. Before darkness was about to cover the earth, the last British warship turned into a sea of ​​fire in the shelling.

On the King-class ironclad ship, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan showed triumphant smiles, and today they finally let out a savage breath.

But their mission is not over yet, it has just begun.

Liu Chen said: The emperor asked us to blockade the United Kingdom. From now on, we will control all routes to the United Kingdom and prohibit all non-imperial ships from passing through.

Xie Yuan nodded, and he said, In that case, you and I will divide our troops into two groups, one in the east and one in the west, and we will destroy other British ports while blocking them.

Liu Chen nodded when he heard the words.

The next day.

When the sun rose, the British in London found that the imperial warships disappeared overnight, a strange atmosphere suddenly enveloped London, and all kinds of speculations circulated in the streets.

Many people believe that the Imperial warships chose to evacuate after destroying the British fleet, and some merchants are even preparing to set sail again for maritime trade.

But the bad news soon came. Some armed merchant ships that tried to go to sea were sunk by imperial warships patrolling the route. At this time, the British finally came to their senses. The Imperial Navy blocked the British waters.

And the news from all over Britain in the following time confirmed this fact. Imperial warships continued to attack British cities along the coast, sinking any merchant ships that went to sea. ‘

The whole of Britain is now like being locked in a cage, and this has caused the whole country to fall into a panic. At a time when the British industry is booming, the British economy mainly comes from the plundering of the colonies and the dumping of local industrial products.

It can be said that the strength of the United Kingdom is based on the establishment of vast colonies and overseas trade. Now that the two lifelines of the United Kingdom have been cut off, it will not be long before the United Kingdom will become an inaccessible country.

Compared with the panic of the British, the British aristocracy was even more unbearable. They gathered a large number of troops, mobilized the whole people, and prepared to fight the empire on land.

But the empire did not play cards according to the routine at all. Now this huge army has suddenly become a burden, and it has to support so many soldiers without fighting. This is a heavy burden on the current British government.

After all, the commerce and trade were cut off, and the British mainland simply could not support so many troops.

Murphy, you can't disband my army, the war has just begun, and there is no guarantee that the Empire will land.

In the House, when Murphy proposed cutting parts of the Army, Buterin objected agitatedly.

I'm not saying now, but if the blockade continues, we're going to have to make this decision, think about it, it's the overseas colonies that have fed the 20 million Britons on the mainland for two hundred years, in fact relying on the British The land has no way to support so many people, and once there is a shortage of food, no one can guarantee what will happen to Britain next. Murphy's tone was deeply helpless.

The MPs were silent, the Royal Navy was all over, and they were powerless to lift the Empire's blockade of the British coast.

Buterin's face flushed with anger, but he knew that his army could not fight at sea.

We have already lost this war. Britain without the navy is nothing but a duck. Without the sea and overseas colonies, the United Kingdom will surely fall into decline. Even if the empire withdraws in the future, the declining Britain will certainly be lost to other European countries. Bullying, like this, we might as well ask the empire for forgiveness, money, land, market, whatever they want, we will give it, as long as we can survive in the UK. One MP shouted loudly.

Shameless!

Throw him out!

...'

When the voice of this member fell, the entire chamber was like boiling water, and the members shouted and cursed. The conditions mentioned by this man deeply hurt them, because this is their policy towards the colony.

However, some MPs have chosen to support the vocal MP because, in their view, what they are now facing is the survival of the UK.

Murphy's mood is also very tangled now. The most important problem he faces is the 20 million mouths on this island.

The prosperity of industry has allowed British businessmen to encircle a lot of farming land, and at the same time a large number of farmers have entered urban factories to work, which makes British agriculture very vulnerable now.

If it wanted to feed so many people, Britain would have to destroy industry and return to the age of an agrarian country.

Quiet! This is not the time for infighting, Murphy roared, Now that Your Majesty and Brook are in Moscow, if His Majesty is ready to do something diplomatically, he will definitely send personnel to contact the Empire, and now we just have to wait. .

When everyone heard the words, they stopped arguing. Facing the uncertain future, they could only continue to wait.

Qingzhou.

The news of the naval battle of London reached here three months later, the news was published in the newspapers, and the people of the whole empire were boiling.

For them, this time they finally paid back the humiliation they suffered.

Your Majesty, in the battle of London, the United Kingdom will no longer be able to make waves at sea. It is the time to seize the British colony in South America as soon as possible.

In the imperial study, Pang Yukun said excitedly.

Cui Shangan said: Just blocking the 60 warships on the British coast is really stretched. Liu Chen also mentioned that it is impossible to completely prevent British ships from going to sea. The next official suggested that the military factory produce a batch of mines and send them to Europe as soon as possible to use this blockade of waters.

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words.

With the improvement of the empire's industry, the empire's military-industrial system has become increasingly perfect, and all kinds of weapons have special research laboratories.

With this mine, it is natural to have this mine. Three months ago, the empire's contact mine experiment was successful, which means that the empire's navy will have the ability to mine and block ports.

And this greatly reduces the onerous task of the battleship.

Mine is a good thing. You urge the military factories to make them produce as soon as possible. I'm afraid it won't take a year and a half for the British to surrender this time. Xiao Ming said.

After a pause, he continued: Except for mines, the production of this tank and the production of military vehicles cannot be relaxed. For the imperial army, mechanization will be the next goal.

Hearing this, Cui Shangan was excited for a while. As long as he thought about the future large-scale tank battles of the Empire, he would be so excited that he would not be able to sleep, so he loudly answered yes.

Pang Yukun said: British surrender is a matter of time. The old minister has already thought of the conditions to be put forward after the British surrender. Isn't this Britain trying to steal the empire's technology? Then the empire will completely abolish the British industrial capacity this time, prohibiting They study weapons and keep them as sheep for shearing.
