Late at night on March 19, the Prime Minister's House in Downing Street, London, England. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Prime Minister Asquith's office, there was smoke, and the ministers of the British Cabinet were smoking cigars one by one, their brows furrowed.

"Your Excellency Churchill, has the information been confirmed?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, it has been confirmed. All the main battleships of the Germans, a few hours earlier, had already left Wilhelmshaven. I think the Germans are coming at us. Churchill said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it seems that the Germans are more anxious than we expected! They clearly wanted to defeat the Royal Navy in the shortest possible time, and then defeat the British and French forces, and win the war completely. "Foreign Secretary Edward? Sir Grey said.

"The longer the war dragged on, the greater the cost the Germans paid in the war. Therefore, they do not want the war to drag on either. "Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd's? George also said.

Obviously, the situation is very bad for the UK. The German Navy's vigorous departure from the port was bound to lead to a decisive battle with the Royal Navy. This also meant that the German Navy was sure of victory. Otherwise, the German Navy would not have been so eager for a decisive battle. Of course, this is very disadvantageous for the British Navy.

"Guys, what are we going to do now? Do you want the Royal Navy to go to sea for a decisive battle with the Germans? Prime Minister Asquith asked.

Although, in the event of a decisive battle with the German navy, they had no chance of winning at all. However, if there is luck and everything can go in their favor, there may be a chance of victory.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I will at once give an order to the Royal Navy to prepare them for a decisive battle with the Germans. Personally, though, I think we should wait a little longer. Wait until the Germans' whereabouts are exposed. After all, we are far inferior to the Germans. Churchill said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "How to fight, you professionals are still in charge." The hope of the British Empire is pinned on you. I hope that in this battle, the Royal Navy will do its best to win a victory for the British Empire! This is the last chance for the British Empire. ”

If the Royal Navy is defeated, then the battle will inevitably ignite on British soil. Unless they were willing to surrender to the Germans immediately after the defeat of the Royal Navy. Otherwise, the Germans would definitely have planned a landing operation on British soil.

It was impossible for Britain to surrender to Germany, especially in the last contact, when the Germans offered conditions that were unacceptable to them. If they accepted the conditions put forward by Germany, Britain would be reduced to a small third-rate country, which was definitely not acceptable to them. Britain has been the world hegemon for hundreds of years, and neither the king nor the subjects will allow such a situation to happen. Unless, unless, they are really completely defeated by the Germans, and there is no way, they will accept the reality.

People are like this, if they don't die until the Yellow River, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will try their best to fight for it. Although, such hope is very, very slim.

"Your Excellency, the Royal Navy will do its best to win." Churchill's face was determined. Although, he knows, it will be very, very difficult to win. However, this is their mission, and they will do their best to win.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the very existence of the British Empire. May God bless the British Empire and get through this crisis safely! Prime Minister Asquith said.

"God bless the British Empire!" Everybody said. Everyone's expressions were very serious. Their fate has long been tied to the British Empire. If the British Empire were defeated or even destroyed, they would quickly go from being a powerful group of people to being penniless.

Scarpa Flow, home port of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet. Now the defense here is much stronger than when it was attacked by the German Navy's submarines. Under water, anti-submarine nets were also urgently arranged. It is almost impossible for a German Navy submarine to sneak in without knowing it.

However, the atmosphere of the entire Grand Fleet was very solemn. The officers and men of the Royal Navy also seem to be able to feel that as the strength of the Royal Navy is becoming more and more seriously damaged, the day when the German Navy will launch a decisive battle against them is getting closer and closer. If before, they still regarded themselves as the number one in the world, then now, the officers and men of the Royal Navy have become more and more situational. Although the decisive battle has not yet begun, they seem to be able to guess the ending. That is, in the heat of battle, they will be defeated by the German navy. Not only will the Royal Navy lose their position as the number one in the world, they will also most likely lose their lives in battle.

John as the commander of the Grand Fleet? Admiral Jericho and Chief of Staff David? Lieutenant General Betty, the pressure on the shoulders of the two is also very high. This was especially true after learning about his plans from Churchill. In order to give the British Imperial Navy a chance to turn defeat into victory, Churchill actually demanded that the Fleet fight to the death, even if it was sunk, it was not allowed to retreat, and the German Navy's warships must be sunk as much as possible. This also makes them know that once a decisive battle breaks out, unless they are lucky enough to win. Otherwise, what awaits them is all death. Such a result is too cruel for them.

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, telegram from the Admiralty." The communications officer reported to them.

John? When Admiral Jericho took the telegram and read it, his face suddenly became very ugly.

"What's wrong? Your Excellency the Commander. "David? Lieutenant General Betty asked.

"The main forces of the German Navy have all gone to sea, and the target, most likely, is us. It seems that the decisive battle between us and the Germans is about to come. "John? Admiral Jericho sighed.

"Alas, Your Excellency, Commander. The Germans really won't waste their chances. It seems that this time we are in big trouble. However, sooner or later, there will be such a day, and you can't hide from it. We can only do everything we can to fight for a chance to survive the Empire. "David? Lieutenant General Betty said.

John? Admiral Jericho nodded: "Order the fleet to prepare for the battle!" As soon as the order of His Excellency Churchill was given, we were to fight the Germans in a decisive battle. ”

"Yes, General." David? Lieutenant General Betty nodded.
