"Come on, prepare the car, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Office soon!" After reading the telegram, Churchill sat in his chair for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info before he shouted to the secretary outside the door.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary hurriedly went to prepare. He knew that Churchill must be in anger now. Therefore, he did not dare to anger Churchill. In that case, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

A few minutes later, Churchill got in his car and headed to the Prime Minister's Office.

By the time Churchill arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, it was already 12 o'clock in the evening. Prime Minister Asquith has long since rested. Although, the decisive battle between the Royal Navy and the German Navy was a major event related to the fate of the British Empire. But Prime Minister Asquith is already old, so he naturally can't stay up and rests early.

"Churchill, what's the matter, has the naval battle come to an end?" Prime Minister Asquith, who was wearing pajamas, asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, we failed!" Churchill said with a pained expression.

"Failed? Did we fail? Prime Minister Asquith sat down on the couch in a daze. Although, he had long expected this to be the result. But in his heart, he undoubtedly hoped that the Royal Navy would be able to perform a miracle and defeat the powerful Germans. In that case, the British Empire would have been able to win the war.

Winning the war and being defeated are two very different endings! If the glory of the British Empire is to be maintained, it must find a way to win this war. Otherwise, the British Empire would cease to exist. As for peace talks, make peace with the Germans and end this war with dignity. That has proven to be unlikely. The conditions that the Germans had put forward last time were very harsh, and it was absolutely impossible for the British Empire to accept such conditions. Therefore, at that time, the British cabinet made up its mind to continue the war, in an attempt to win on the battlefield, so as to protect the interests of the British Empire.

But now it seems that the performance of their army on the battlefield is still too bad!

"Your Excellency Churchill, how much have we lost? And how much did we inflict on the Germans? Prime Minister Asquith asked. In his heart, there are also some expectations. If the losses of the Royal Navy were not very large, and they inflicted relatively heavy losses on the Germans, then they would undoubtedly not have lost very badly in this naval battle.

Churchill understood what Prime Minister Asquith meant, but this time he was destined to disappoint.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Prime Minister. This time, the Royal Navy suffered very heavy losses. Almost all the capital ships that participated in the battle, were lost. According to the battle reports sent back by the Grand Fleet, we had 22 battleships and 5 battlecruisers sunk by the Germans. Three more battleships and one battlecruiser were heavily damaged. On the cruisers and destroyers, too, there were heavy losses. However, the damage we inflicted on the Germans was very small. We only sank one battleship of the Germans, and we also severely damaged several of their battleships and battlecruisers. The losses of the cruisers and destroyers of the Germans were also much smaller than ours. Churchill said stiffly.

"What? We lost so much, but inflicted little on the Germans. How is this possible? How could the Germans be so much better than us? "Facing this result, Asquith is obviously a little unacceptable. After all, it's just too hard to believe. You must know that before the outbreak of this war, the Royal Navy of the British Empire was still the supremacy of the sea, the symbol of the most powerful maritime power in the world! Although the German Navy is catching up, there is undoubtedly a big gap to catch up with and surpass the Royal Navy. But now, the Germans have knocked down the Royal Navy of the British Empire in a few naval battles, and even the backbone of the Royal Navy has been broken. Such a result would certainly be unacceptable to anyone.

"Your Excellency Churchill, are you kidding? Although we failed, the losses were certainly not so great? Prime Minister Asquith asked. How he wished it was Churchill joking! In that case, the main force of the Royal Navy would still exist.

"Your Excellency, I would also like to make this joke very much. But alas, this is no joke. It's the facts! The Royal Navy had indeed lost a lot in this naval battle. There's no other way to do that. Churchill said.

The look of hope in Prime Minister Asquith's eyes suddenly dissipated cleanly.

"It's over, it's over. The British Empire is finished this time! Prime Minister Asquith couldn't help but say.

Churchill was silent, and he agreed that Britain was now in a real crisis. If you don't pay attention, you'll end up in a place of no return.

"The Navy has not been able to accomplish the set goals, which makes it very likely that we will lose this war. In that case, what are we going to do? In order to preserve the core interests of the British Empire? Prime Minister Asquith muttered.

Although, as the Prime Minister of the British Empire, he was once considered the most powerful person in the world. But now, when the British Empire was facing the stake of life and death, all his aura had faded away, replaced by horror and trepidation.

If Britain loses this war, Prime Minister Asquith and all the cabinet members will probably become sinners. At the same time, it means that the power they have been accustomed to will leave them. Such a result is undoubtedly very unacceptable to them.

"Your Excellency, I am really sorry that the Royal Navy has failed to live up to your expectations." Churchill said.

"Churchill, it's none of your business, not even the Royal Navy. It's not that the officers and men of the Royal Navy don't fight to the death, it's that the Germans are too strong! Over the years, there were problems with the development of the Royal Navy, so much so that our navy was caught up by the Germans, and then overtook us. It's not anyone's fault. Prime Minister Asquith said.

Churchill nodded, indeed, this time the failure, to put the blame on someone is obviously inappropriate. However, a loss is a loss, and no one can change the fact that the British Empire is in an even more difficult predicament because of this.

"Come on, gather the rest of the cabinet immediately and discuss what we should do next!" Prime Minister Asquith commanded.
