Chapter 184: The Vicious Germans

"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral, now we are almost certain that the Germans have sent a fleet into the Atlantic. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info This fleet is attacking our merchant ships and transports everywhere, and attacking our maritime trade routes. In just two days, we lost nearly 100 merchant ships. If this continues, our sea trade lines are in danger of collapsing. A British general reported to Churchill.

"Damn! How the hell did the German fleet slip into the Atlantic? Isn't our main fleet a constant blockade of the North Sea? Churchill was furious. He knows what it means for Britain to be cut off from its sea lines. Their tactics of wanting to blockade Germany and then drag Germany to death simply cannot succeed. Britain would even collapse before Germany.

"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral, the Germans must have sent their fleet out before the war began. Otherwise, they won't be able to hide it from us. The admiral said.

Churchillton didn't know what to say. It is understandable that the British Navy strengthened the blockade only after the outbreak of war. Who gave the German Navy the foresight to send a fleet into the Atlantic?

"In any case, we must find the German fleet, destroy it, or drive it back to Germany. Otherwise, allowing them to attack our sea lines will deal a fatal blow to us. Churchill said.

"Your Excellency, from the telegrams sent back before the sinking of the merchant ships, we know by analysis that the fleet sent by the Germans must have consisted of battle cruisers. So, if we want to destroy their fleet, it's going to be very difficult. After all, the battlecruisers were so fast that our battleships simply could not catch up. ”

"What about our battlecruisers?" Invincible-class battlecruisers, 'Indefatigable-class' battlecruisers and 'Lion-class' battlecruisers, aren't they all already in service? All sent out. I don't believe that nine battlecruisers can't beat the six battlecruisers of the Germans! Churchill ordered. If it weren't for the fact that the battlecruiser "Tiger" had not yet been commissioned, it is estimated that Churchill would have sent the "Tiger" battlecruiser out as well.

"Yes, Lord of the Admiralty!" The British general nodded.

"Nevertheless, Your Excellency, I propose that a main fleet be sent at the same time to meet it. After all, the Atlantic Ocean is too vast. It was very difficult to find the German battlecruisers. The British general continued.

Churchill nodded: "Let the 'George V-class' battleships go." Four super-dreadnoughts plus nine battlecruisers were twice as many as the Germans had sorted. I believe that the Royal Navy will be able to take out the German battlecruisers. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Lord of the Admiralty. However, we also found out that the Germans, in addition to the battle cruisers, also sent submarines into the Atlantic. There are quite a few merchant ships that have been sunk by submarines. And those merchant ships did not encounter the British warships before they were hit. So, we analyze, it was the German submarine that fired a torpedo from under water. The British general said.

"Oh God! It was a battle cruiser and a submarine, and the Germans clearly planned a long-planned operation specifically against the sea transport lines of the British Empire. They had already figured out how to strike at the British Empire. Damn the Germans, why are they so vicious! Churchill's face was already dark, as if he were the bottom of a pot.

Even though he was a very strong man, he still felt chills all over his body after learning about the plans of the German Navy. The tactics of the German Navy were completely on the British seven inches! If not careful, this will be a fatal blow to the UK.

"Send our destroyers and light cruisers out to search for German submarines, and if you find one, sink one for me. I will never allow the Germans to attack our sea transport lines so brazenly! Churchill roared.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Lord of the Admiralty." The British general nodded and immediately went to carry out the order.

Churchill sat in his chair and began to think about what could be done to solve the problem. If until then he had thought that Britain would win the war, now he had begun to doubt his own view. The German Navy was even more tricky and powerful than he imagined. Even with the strength of the British navy, it will still be very difficult to defeat the German navy.

Extinguishing the cigar in his hand, Churchill stood up from his chair.

"Damn the Germans, come on, I'd like to see how you challenge the Royal Navy. I will defeat you with my own hands and cut off your delusions. Churchill said with a grim face.

"Come on, prepare the car, I want to go to the Prime Minister's Office immediately!" Churchill commanded.

Although, it's already night. Prime Minister Asquith may have rested. But Churchill had no choice but to disturb him at this time. Who made the present situation so urgent that it even directly threatened Britain's victory or defeat in this war?

Five minutes later, Churchill got into a car and rushed to the Prime Minister's House in Downing Street. Ironically, Churchill had just cursed the Germans. But the car he was riding in was a Daimler A-class car produced by Daimler Corporation, a subsidiary of Qin Tian. Although Churchill was reluctant to admit it, he still felt in his heart that German cars were much better than British cars in terms of comfort and appearance. Therefore, before the outbreak of the war, Daimler's A-class cars were exported to various European countries. Dignitaries in many countries have purchased Daimler's A-Class cars as their own cars. The British government is no exception. Almost the vast majority of cabinet members are in Daimler A-Class cars. Britain's own cars, on the other hand, are not cared for. Because it's just so ugly.

Because the secretary has already been contacted with the Prime Minister's Office in advance. So when Churchill arrived, Prime Minister Asquith was already waiting for him in his office. However, from Prime Minister Asquith's sleepy eyes and the strong coffee on his desk, it can be seen that Churchill did disturb Prime Minister Asquith's rest.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. However, the situation is really urgent, and there is no way to wait until tomorrow. Churchill looked apologetic.
