In Berlin, the capital of Germany, in the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Council is being held.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are preparations for the attack on Britain completed?" Qin Tian asked. For the German Empire, an attack on the British mainland had become a top priority.

"Your Majesty, the preparations have been basically completed. All the troops participating in the battle have arrived in the predetermined area to assemble and stand by. All kinds of war materials needed for the war also arrived at the ports of France. As soon as the order is given, we can immediately launch an attack on the British mainland! "Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Von? Falkenhain reported.

For this battle, the German Army can be said to have carefully prepared for a long time. The German Navy completely trampled the invincible British Royal Navy under its feet. This time, the German Army was going to sweep through the British mainland and defeat the British completely.

"And what about the escort warships, the shelling fleet and the transport flotilla of the Navy? Is it all in place? Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, the Navy is ready. This time, we're going to provide all the support for the Army! "The Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, reported.

Qin Tian nodded: "Then, the attack on the British mainland is scheduled for a week!" I hope that the war against Britain will be ended within three months. In this way, the soldiers can go home for Christmas. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.

None of them thought that Qin Tian's request to defeat the British within three months was something impossible. After all, although the British are crazy about the armed army on their homeland, according to the intelligence obtained by Germany, the size of the British army, if it snowballs, is getting bigger and bigger, and now there are more than four million people. However, in the eyes of the generals of the German Army, it was nothing more than a rabble of untrained and unarmed people. Once such a rabble is on the battlefield, it can be easily defeated. It is foreseeable that they will surrender to the German Army on the battlefield and will be very, very large.

This made the German top brass think that it would be very easy for the four corps of nearly a million Imperial Army to sweep through the British mainland. It may not even take three months to defeat the British and end the war.

Of course, the reason why Qin Tian set such a deadline was entirely because it was already August, and in another three months, the weather would be very cold. If the war drags on until winter, it will not only increase the casualties of the troops, but also the logistical pressure will be very great. After all, to ensure that millions of troops fight in the cold winter, the logistics materials needed are undoubtedly very large.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet defeated the Combined Fleet of the Island Nation Navy a few hours ago. In total, we sank 19 capital ships, 8 armored cruisers, 13 protective cruisers and more than 20 destroyers of the island navy. Marshal Count Tirpitz then reported.

"Oh? The results are so great? "Qin Tian didn't expect that the expeditionary fleet would achieve such a big result.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The main force of the island country's navy can be regarded as being completely eliminated by us in this battle. What to do next, please give orders from Your Majesty. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

In Qin Tian's memory, the island country's navy was still very powerful. At least in the early stages of World War II in another time and space, the islanders were embarrassed by the Americans in the Pacific. If it were not for the fact that the industrial strength of the Americans was much stronger than that of the island nations, it would undoubtedly be difficult to say who won the Pacific War.

However, in this time and space, the navy of the island country during this period is not strong. At least compared to the German Navy, which overthrew the British Royal Navy, the gap is very large. With the exception of the four 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers, there were no decent capital ships at all. The nine capital ships of the German Expeditionary Fleet were all the latest battle cruisers. With a huge performance advantage, it is not a problem to defeat the island navy.

"Are our casualties heavy?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet lost a light cruiser, and the battlecruiser 'Moltke' was hit by a torpedo and suffered a minor injury." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

Qin Tian nodded, in this case, the loss would be within an acceptable range.

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Navy has once again won a great victory!" Falkenhayn looked envious.

According to Qin Tian's plan, the army does not need to be dispatched for the time being to fight against the island country. Therefore, this made Falkenhain very envious of the navy for another big victory.

"It's mainly because the opponent is too weak. Otherwise, we would never have won so easily! Marshal Tirpitz said disdainfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the islanders have been defeated by us this time. However, for their combat power, it is still not to be underestimated. This time, we have eliminated the main force of their navy, and we can be regarded as a mortal enmity with them. So, we have to be prepared! Qin Tian reminded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers all replied.

"Regarding the question of the island nations, after their combined fleet is destroyed, it is possible to get in touch with them. If they are willing to return the colonies belonging to the Empire and the colonies in Southeast Asia, and make some compensation, then the Empire will let them go this time. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Bülow and Foreign Secretary von? Kidren? Vahit nodded. The army has already won a big victory on the battlefield. Well, it's up to them next.

Neither Prime Minister Bilo nor Foreign Minister Vasit believed that the islanders would be able to continue their confrontation with the German Empire after the naval defeat. Because, they no longer have the capital to fight.

However, Qin Tian didn't think so. The stubbornness of the islanders is notoriously stubborn. At the same time, they are notoriously greedy. Southeast Asia is rich enough to make the people of the island country forget all dangers.

"If the islanders still refuse the Empire's conditions, then let the expeditionary fleet continue to attack and blow up all the coastal cities of the island country into ruins. Let them pay for what they have done! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Count Tirpitz, said without hesitation.

Prime Minister Birlo and Foreign Minister Vahit were hesitant, they wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't say anything.

Qin Tian knew what they meant, it was nothing more than that this kind of large-scale killing of civilians would bring bad effects and something like that. However, Qin Tian didn't care. In other words, in his heart, he didn't regard the islanders as human beings at all.
