Chapter Eighty-Eight: The British Crisis

Nordersmann is in his 50s, and he is no longer the kind of young man with a congested brain, and he is very mature in dealing with emergencies and crisis management. Although he www.biquge.info very suspicious that the three major fleets of the empire were sunk by Sun Hao, he could not find the slightest evidence at present. In addition, the British Empire currently has no way to deal with submarines, and it is very unwise to send a fleet to fight Sun Hao to the death again.

After hearing this, Asquith nodded at Nordsmann with satisfaction, Sun Hao only has hundreds of thousands of army troops, and it is impossible to occupy so many islands. Hundreds of thousands of troops may sound like a huge number, but scattering hundreds of thousands of troops on the islands of the South Seas is like a stone thrown into the sea, and not even a single blister will rise.

In addition, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not a vegetarian, and it is not easy for Sun Hao to take down their colonies by arranging nearly 150,000 army troops and 100,000 indigenous troops in Nanyang.

Even after Sun Hao won some colonies of the Dutch Kingdom, the huge natives on the island would definitely give Sun Hao a headache. The natives in history have slaughtered the Chinese, and Sun Hao will definitely wield a butcher's knife high to clean up those annoying natives, and with his hundreds of thousands of troops, he will have no energy to attack the Malay Peninsula of the empire.

After sorting out Sun Hao's strength, Asquis, who had been worried, gradually felt better.

Asquith then looked to Winston Churchill, the Secretary of State for Commerce, in the hope that he could find some solution to the current crisis.

When Churchill saw this, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, Honorable Prime Minister, Ministers, I know that the British Empire has lost more than 100,000 brave soldiers, which is a complete catastrophe for the British Empire. But we have also learned some lessons from this catastrophe, and that is that our British Empire is facing an unprecedented crisis. I hope that this crisis will wake up the arrogant people of the empire to stop being invincible in the world.

Personally, I suggest that until the Empire is absolutely sure of defeating Sun Hao, the Empire must not send troops to stimulate Sun Hao, lest he make crazy moves again. On the ocean, the empire is facing the threat of Sun Hao. On land, the Reich was facing the threat of the German Empire. So, it's time for the people of the British Empire to wake up.

For the sacrifice of more than 100,000 imperial warriors, I myself am also very heartbroken, and I can't wait to break this Sun Hao's body into ten thousand pieces, but we can't do it at present, let alone drag the empire into a battle of life and death. In the face of the crisis of the empire, I have a few suggestions, and I would like to ask Your Excellency the Prime Minister and other ministers to consider them carefully. After Churchill finished speaking, his eyes kept scanning the imperial elite in the venue.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Churchill said again with confidence: "First, although the empire cannot directly start a war with Sun Hao, it can send a high-profile investigation team to investigate the sinking of the three major fleets of the empire.

Second, call Marshal Donald, you must buy or exchange the blueprints of the Zheng He-class battleship, and try every means to get the submarine in Sun Hao's hands, otherwise it will be difficult for the empire to develop the underwater weapon of restraining submarines. There is no weapon to restrain submarines, and even if the empire has a powerful submarine, it will not help.

Third, the empire made it conditional on withdrawing from the colonies of the islands of Papua in order to get more benefits beneficial to the empire from Sun Hao. Sun Hao's use of submarines to sink our three major fleets proves that Sun Hao has no determination to fight to the death with the Empire at present, and it also proves that Sun Hao is not yet capable of attacking the Empire's colonies, or is not ready to fight the Empire.

Fourth, befriend Sun Hao, at least on the surface. Secretly send excellent spies to the islands of Papua to find out how strong Sun Hao really is? What is the industrial base? How many people there are.

Fifth, support the natives on the islands of the South Seas, Sun Hao does not let the empire have a good time, and the empire cannot let Sun Hao be comfortable. There are tens of millions of natives on the islands of the South Seas, which is not a small force, even if their combat effectiveness is very weak, it is enough to give Sun Hao a headache.

Sixth, send excellent gunmen to directly kill Sun Hao, so that this Ming people will lose their leader, and then gradually find a way to eliminate this Ming descendant force. ”

Churchill said at the end, his expression became hideous, and his eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

When Nordsmann heard that Churchill was going to kill Sun Hao, his heart suddenly became anxious. Killing Sun Hao is certainly a good method, but it definitely can't be done at the moment. This Ming force must have the dream of recovering the country, and if the empire kills their leader, they will definitely go crazy, and the empire will face an even greater crisis at that time.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Commerce, I personally agree with your suggestion, but it is absolutely not possible to kill Sun Hao, if Sun Hao is assassinated by the Empire, the Empire's warships will definitely be sunk by all their submarines, and their two huge fleets will definitely sail to the Empire mainland for crazy artillery bombardment. Such a result is quite serious, so I do not approve of the assassination of Sun Hao. ”

Asquith also did not approve of the assassination of Sun Hao, at least not for now. Sun Hao's death, the consequences are definitely quite serious, this is not the result that the empire wants. What the empire needs most now is Sun Hao's warships and submarines, as long as these affordable things are in hand, it is not too late to avenge the 10 or so warriors who sacrificed when the time comes.

However, at present, the empire can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know that Sun Hao did it, at least on the surface.

Sun Hao attacked the South Seas, and the biggest threat to him belonged to the British Empire, saying that the empire's fleet was not sunk by him, and he didn't believe it when he killed Asquith.

Nordsmann thought about it, then stood up again and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Ministers. Personally, I think that at present, I can only befriend Sun Hao, and find a way to get the submarines and construction technology and drawings in his hands, even if the empire pays a certain price, it is worth it.

Only by obtaining the submarine technology in Sun Hao's hands can the empire study a way to restrain submarines. Otherwise, the Empire's fleet is always under the threat of the opposing submarines. ”

"Your Excellency Nordersmann, can we easily get Sun Hao's submarine? Submarines are his last guarantee, and he will never sell or exchange them for the Empire. Churchill said worriedly.

Asquith knew in his heart that hope was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. The submarine is Sun Hao's life-saving weapon, and he will never easily take it out and sell it to the British Empire.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I also know that it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to get the submarine in Sun Hao's hands, but Marshal Donald has quite a wealth of experience in dealing with people and things, as long as the empire gives him greater rights, maybe he can get a submarine from Sun Hao's hands?"
