Chapter 64: Facing a Maniac

In the previous defeat at the Battle of the Somme, David. Lloyd's. George gained his political leverage, so he replaced the previous prime minister and sat in the office of the prime minister in Downing Street.

Douglas. Sir Haig, however, was not condemned for his defeat at the first battle of the Somme. With the great support of the navy and the Prime Minister's appreciation, he was instead promoted to the rank of British Field Marshal, and joined forces with Admiral John Murphy, who presided over the Home Fleet. Jericho became a frequent audience with the Prime Minister.

"You know, your Oriental friend is in trouble again, and this time he is in a lot of trouble, and many councillors are starting to get impatient with him!"

Douglas. Haig was suffering from the U.S. military's inaction, though he could understand the U.S. military's actions, given that their president was in the midst of a fierce re-election campaign. The public at this time is sensitive, and they can't be too upset by too many death notices, so the U.S. military is still preparing, preparing, preparing, and preparing.

It seems that the U.S. military intends to rely on preparations to drag out the days of the presidential campaign.

However, the defeat of the Russian Red Army, which had been hastily organized and not so stable, was a matter of constant concern to the British and French generals.

They did not expect that the Russian Red Army, which had been organized by the Russian Bolsheviks, would be so easily defeated by the Germans{1}{Ben} read ~ Yun  to grab this burden, and the Emperor apologized for the mystery of Zi 2 1 The Red Army of Russia was so easily defeated by the Germans, and in the face of 50 German troops, what kind of concept was it, whether Petain or he had already taken the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces at this time.

This time, however, the new Prime Minister came here on the occasion of inspecting the front, and the news he was told surprised even more.

"You know, that Don is a complete lunatic! He was commissioned by the Germans to assist them in the capture of Irian Island, which caused the displeasure of the Australian Government, and our ambassador to the interrogation said, as is customary, 'words that may lead to a total war.' As a result, he slapped the table very rudely and threatened our ambassador, and then his navy and air force went crazy and attacked in all directions. Now Singapore is theirs if they want to. ”

This news cannot but make people shocked, for Tang Yunyang's eyes must be reported, if it is said that John. Admiral Jericho didn't understand so well, then he Douglas. Haig is very clear about what kind of guy this is.

"Mr. Prime Minister, may I ask what is the current situation there? The last time I heard someone talk about him was a month ago, when he was going to fight with the Japanese **! ”

British Prime Minister David Brown. Lloyd's. George looked up slightly and looked around, and he noticed that Admiral John. Jericho also seems to be in the eastern war, after all, if it is dispatched, the naval side will be the main thing. And when it comes to the ability and level of the other party to build aircraft, he is really a little worried about the British fleet.

Moreover, now the other side is no longer the new fleet that only has a few large warships and a few cruisers in the past. What should the fleet, which captured almost all of the capital ships of the Japanese Navy, look like. Admiral Jericho always had an impression in his mind.

"As far as our intelligence system knows, our fleet in India has organized an expeditionary fleet with two improvised aircraft carriers! Then the fleet passed through the Strait of Malacca, and their main task was to reinforce the Australian navy, and they intended to land again on the island of Irian, you know, the loss of that island was very annoying to the Australian government! ”

"My God, how is this possible, these fools......"

Speaking of which, John. Admiral Jericho shook his head, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the Australian government or with the stupidity of the fleet in India.

The British Prime Minister, who was interrupted by his own narrative, was somewhat surprised to see the reaction of his admirals.

"What's the matter, Mr. Admiral, don't you think we should send a fleet to reinforce Australia?"

John. Admiral Jericho realized that his exclamation was not quite right, and he apologized to the Prime Minister and went on to say what he really thought.

"I'm sorry Mr. Prime Minister, please forgive me for my reaction, I'm just worried about that reinforcement fleet, I hope they haven't fallen into the point of being besieged by a large number of aircraft!"

David. Lloyd's. Prime Minister George's eyes widened in disbelief, he could not understand how the admiral in front of him, who had been fighting the German Ocean Fleet in the English Channel, could be so aware of the situation in the South Seas.

"John, the situation in Nanyang is as bad as you say, do you know anything I don't know?"

John. Admiral Jericho nodded: "Yes Mr. Prime Minister, it is just a trap, a trap used to lure our fleet into the trap, when the fleet gets into this trap, it becomes his bet, unless we meet his demands, I believe that guy will definitely sink all these battleships with planes!" ”

"No, John! The situation has not gone so bad, and at the moment the telegram from the fleet only says that they are troubled and are not able to carry out combat duty effectively, but in general they are still able to resist the enemy's air attack! And the most serious situation is that our Singapore is under attack, and even the other side seems to have an attempt to land. If they take it, the Strait of Malacca will be cut off, and it will be a place of concern for both military and commercial interests! ”

John. Admiral Jericho shook his head, unimpressed by the Prime Minister's analysis: "He won't want Singapore, it's his bet as well." My only fear now is that neither the troubled fleet nor Singapore is his real target, and if that happens, our losses will be even greater, so great that we can barely afford it! ”

David. Lloyd's. Prime Minister George probably thought that this John . Admiral Jericho exaggerated the capabilities of the other side, and his conclusions also seemed to have some element of alarmism.

"What do you think, Sir Haig?"

Unexpectedly, Douglas. Haig still didn't make his point directly, but went around in a big circle and used another thing to illustrate his point.

"Mr. Prime Minister, as you just said, I do have a considerable degree of understanding of this guy Tang. In addition, I agree with Admiral John, he has been provoked, and it is not easy to get him to stop! Here I want to tell you one thing, which is probably enough to explain his character! ”

Douglas. Sir Haig's words aroused the interest of the other two, after all, the more they knew what kind of guy they were dealing with, the easier it would be to deal with him.

"I remember that before the Battle of the Somme began, General Xia Fei didn't seem to like this guy so much, and indeed some things he did were also unacceptable, so General Xia Fei ordered a large number of tanks from our country at that time, and this incident damaged the interests of Tang, as a result, I think we all know very well that the crisis on the final front must be solved by his Thunder International, and I think we all know very well what happened to General Xia Fei in the end."

Listen to him, David. Lloyd's. Prime Minister George and John. Admiral Jericho remembered everything that had happened before and after that battle, as if everything had been so coincidental. The newly developed British tank met the newly equipped assault guns of the German army. The last attack had to be done with the help of that guy to bring the British and French to a dignified end to the battle.

"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.

"So, if I had to define this guy, first of all, I would say that he was a very good soldier. Now all the tactics and even weapons and equipment of the two armies are related to this guy, and as for why the Americans were able to get the best tanks now, it also shows his shrewdness. Shrewdness is another of his qualities, and a well-armed American army naturally does not like to be controlled by General Petain, which is the source of the contradiction, and it will be he who will get the actual benefits. So in that sense, he's a businessman, a very shrewd businessman.

Based on the above two points, I can conclude that if we do not stop this military operation, we will lose our Far Eastern Fleet, Singapore, Hong Kong, all the concessions of China, and even India, which may be attacked from any direction in the sky or on the ground.

Two gentlemen, that's about what I know about this madman! If we need advice, I think for the time being we should cooperate with him and not give him the possibility of causing trouble in the Indian Ocean and finally gaining access to the Middle East! ”

Douglas. Haig's words silenced the other two, especially Prime Minister David Murphy. Lloyd's. George, he was not sure if the two generals in front of him were frightened by this Chinese, why did their guesses be worse than the other? Could it be that the sun never sets on the empire really encounters an enemy that cannot be defeated?

In the course of their discussions, the Expeditionary Force's communications staff was Prime Minister David Brown. Lloyd's. George sent the latest telegram on matters in the East.

"To the Imperial Prime Minister, our naval base in Calcutta, India, has come under heavy attack, and according to the last news that has arrived, we conclude that Calcutta has fallen ......!"

David. Lloyd's. Prime Minister George looked at the telegram as if the world's loudest thunder sounded overhead, shaking him into a daze. In his mind, he couldn't understand how Calcutta, as the main British military base in India, could fall so easily.

What kind of army did that madman use to capture such a fortified city?
