India, Delhi, Viceroyalty of India.

The second Marquess of Linlithgow, Victor Alexander John Hope, the British Viceroy of India, was so annoyed by the fact that his head was about to explode by the Colonel John Masterman from MI5.

This damn bastard! He even asked Lord Ben to order a war with the Seventh Fleet of the Donghua Royal Navy! It's just unreasonable! It's like looking for death!

Don't you know that the British Royal Navy's Ceylon base has been destroyed by the Japanese Navy?!

Although there were several warships at the Ceylon Naval Base that escaped the pursuit of the Japanese Navy and managed to escape to the Maldives, these warships were Sir Hope's last cards to escape from the Indian theater of operations, and he would never allow anyone to attack his idea of these warships.

Besides, expecting those two Southampton-class cruisers "Newcastle" and "Sheffield" to take three tribal-class destroyers to fight the aircraft carrier battle group of the Royal Navy of the East China Empire is not what it is to hit a stone with an egg!

Sir Hope has been sending telegrams urging London to reassemble a new Far East Fleet to defend colonial interests in the subcontinent. But for unknown reasons, the Churchill-led cabinet has been slow to move.

Well, now, after seeing that the British Empire was only able to parry by the damned Japanese monkeys, and had no power to fight back, the hateful Donghua Empire finally couldn't help it, and they brazenly launched a military invasion of the British Chago Islands.

A small island like the Chagos Archipelago was originally lost, and at most, the Cabinet Foreign Ministry shouted a few words of protest in the international community. But the problem is that this damned Colonel Masterman actually said that there was a strategically important piece of information on the island of Diego Garcia that was vital to the survival of the British Empire, and claimed to keep it at all costs and send it back to London safely.

As the deputy chief of the Fifth Division of the British Military Intelligence Agency, John Masterman has not scolded God for the past three days, which is really too eye-opening. Why at such a critical moment, instead of bless the British Empire, the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy of Donghua was arranged to carry out a surprise attack on Diego Garcia Island.

You raid and raid, why send an aircraft carrier battle group?! Don't you know that there is only half a battalion of British troops on the island of Diego Garcia?

I've seen bullies, but I've never seen your Donghua Royal Navy bully people like this!

For this well-planned operation, Mastersman did not hesitate to sacrifice three excellent agents who were lurking in Germany to ensure that Olga Chekova escaped safely from Puerto Suares, and also arranged for her to go to Diego Garcia, which was not noticed.

Southern Africa was about to become a German sphere of influence, and in order to ensure the safety of this hard-won information, Mastmann deliberately set up two ecstasy arrays in South Africa to mislead German intelligence officers and the Gestapo.

As long as Olga Chekova arrives safely in Diego Garcia and hands over the information she has obtained from Puerto Suares to the people who come to contact her, the operation can be incorporated into the training textbooks of the British intelligence agencies as a classic case.

However, Mastman did not calculate that the Royal Navy of Donghua would suddenly dispatch an aircraft carrier battle group to capture Diego Garcia Island without warning.

The fleet of the Royal Chinese Navy of Donghua on Diego Garcia Island is completely blocked, and people outside cannot enter, and people inside cannot get out. Once the German intelligence agencies discovered Olga Chekova's whereabouts and then requested assistance from the Donghua Empire, Olga Chekova was arrested in a small matter, and the loss of the technical information on the King-class battleship she brought out from the port of Suares was too great.

The only way now is to persuade Sir Hope to let the two cruisers "Newcastle" and "Sheffield", which are resting in the Maldives, carry out a surprise attack on the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Chinese Navy blockading Diego Garcia Island with three tribal-class destroyers to create chaos, so as to cover the island's American journalist Cynthia to take advantage of the chaos to get out of Diego Garcia Harbor.

However, no matter what Mastmann said, Sir Hope would not agree. And it is reasonable to say that he will never let those British lads die in vain.

Masterman actually knew that behind Sir Hope's seemingly high-sounding reason, there was a hidden selfishness of Lord Marquis's desire to leave the South Asian Subcontinent Theater.

The Japanese army occupied Burma, and there was no suspense anymore. With the Anglo-Burmese army fully retreating from Burma, the vanguard of the Japanese army has arrived in the Imphal area.

Although Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-Indian army, was actively organizing the defense of Imphal, both Masters and Sir Hope knew that with Alexander's small strength and low morale, he could not stop the fierce Japanese army in pursuit of victory.

War in India was inevitable, and as Governor General of India, Sir Hope wanted to evacuate from India back to the British mainland for the safety of himself and his family, and Masters could understand. But if Sir Hope had disregarded the national interests of the British Empire for his own selfish sake, Masterman could not bear it.

This covert operation, codenamed "Plan A," was a large-scale operation jointly and meticulously planned by the intelligence agencies of Britain, the United States, and France. Its purpose was to target the German Navy's invincible battleship "Hindenburg" in the Atlantic, that is, the former King-class battleship "King" of the Royal Navy of the East China Empire.

THE BATTLESHIP "HINDENBURG", WHICH HAS FOUR TRIPLE 52 TIMES DIAMETER 480MM MAIN GUNS AND A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 35 KNOTS, IS NOT AT ALL COMPARABLE TO ANY OF THE MAIN BATTLESHIPS OF THE NAVIES OF THE WORLD TODAY.

The "Hindenburg" has a faster speed than a battlecruiser, has stronger protective armor than a battleship, has a long range and great power of its naval guns, supplemented by a maximum speed of up to 35 knots, and the world's most advanced air-to-sea search radar.

The Germans' use of the battleship "Hindenburg" to command the newly formed German Navy's Atlantic Fleet to carry out a broken engagement can be described as a heavy blow to Britain's soft underbelly.

The most helpless thing for the British royal family was that the German Atlantic Fleet actually set up its base on the former French island of Madagascar.

France did not invest too many troops on the island of Madagascar, and when they saw the huge body of the battleship "Hindenburg" appear off the coast of Port Suares, all the French officers and men stationed on the island of Madagascar immediately chose to raise the white flag and surrender.

After the island of Madagascar fell into the hands of the Germans, the German government sent reinforcements from the mainland on the one hand, and on the other hand, purchased a large number of various military supplies from the Donghua Empire to expand the port of Suares, and completely put on the posture of building the port of Suares into a fortress port city.

The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, based in the port of Tosuares, could not only threaten the Red Sea and the Suez Canal in the north, but also go south to go deep into the Atlantic, bypassing the Cape of Good Hope. Coupled with the logistical supplies from Japan and the East China Empire, the Germans could have turned both southern and central Africa into their colonies within two years.

Churchill could not have imagined what a terrible monster Germany would become, with most of Africa providing various industrial resources.

Thus, the British Admiralty and Military Intelligence developed a series of operational plans specifically for the newly formed Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy.

"Plan A" is a very important part of the plan.

If "Plan A" cannot be successfully completed, all the subsequent plans will have to be readjusted, and may even become waste paper!
