385 Great Britain declared war

London, the capital of the British Empire, has been a sacred place of faith and anti-Ming forces for the past 100 years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since the expeditionary fleet of the Ming Empire was severely damaged by the British fleet in the waters near Gibraltar, the Ming Empire stopped conquering Europe.

And this stop, it's almost 150 years.

The world owes a debt of gratitude to Britain for thwarting the Ming Empire's attack on France and Britain, and for preventing the Ming Empire's last attempt to truly dominate the world.

Inside Buckingham Palace, the King of the British Empire sits in a chair, listening to a war report about the Far East. He listened very carefully and interrupted the whole presentation from time to time.

"Throw in a new tank ......" This time, he interrupted the attendant who was reciting the message and looked at his quartermaster.

"So, does Britain have the same weapons to deal with this newer tank on land?" He asked.

The King of England is 40 years old this year, which happens to be a wise and healthy, focused and experienced age.

This age gave him more time to deal with the affairs of England, and he was not an obscene monarch, but like most monarchs, he was conscientious and idealistic.

I have to admit that this is an era of heroes, Miao Shengye of Ceylon is already a hero for a while, and the emperor of the Ming Empire is also young and promising.

The German Empire was also full of heroes, Marshal Philip and the young but already up-and-coming Bernhardt.

The King of England was born in such a starry age, which has to be said to be his luck, but also his sorrow: he is 40 years old, although he is a good age, but in front of these people, he still looks old.

"Your Majesty! Our new tank is already under development, and I heard that Germany is very experienced in this area, and they have held three large-scale exercises to verify the performance of their tanks. The Quartermaster replied.

The situation in Europe has also been very tense recently, Muscovy has gone to war against the Ottoman Empire, and the two sides have fought in the border area, but they have not been able to distinguish the winner in a short time.

The German Empire and Austria-Hungary were on the sidelines, hoping to wait until the war became clearer before pressing their chips.

"Cunning Leopold! Cunning Kaiser Wilhelm! Can't they see that the Ming Empire is rising in the hands of Emperor Zhu Mu? The King of England leaned back in his chair and sighed.

Because of the German fleet and the Austro-Hungarian fleet, the main fleet of the British Empire could only hold on to the perimeter of its own country.

The British emperor could only mobilize the detachments stationed in the African colonies, but the detachments could not really defeat the Indian Ocean detachment of the Ming Empire, and threatened the main fleet of the Ming Empire.

Therefore, Britain and France have been holding back their emotions and did not immediately declare war on the Ming Empire.

Not declaring war does not mean not moving, and two battleships of the British Royal Navy have crossed the Suez Canal, creating tremendous pressure on the detachment of the Ming Empire.

The strength of the detachment of the Ming Empire in the Indian Ocean was not very strong, with only two battleships and two heavy cruisers. This scale can be said to be the smallest detachment of the Ming Empire.

Originally, it was already a very powerful maritime force in the Indian Ocean, but when the British Navy strengthened its Indian Ocean fleet, the Ming army did not have extra troops to take care of it.

Reinforcements from the Royal Navy doubled the number of British battleships in the Indian Ocean, while the Ming army was still supported by only two battleships.

"The Ambassador of Ceylon has met your Foreign Minister three times...... "The Minister of the Army said to his Majesty the King with his hands behind his back.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs nodded and reported to his king on the diplomatic side: "Your Majesty! Ceylon hopes that we can flank the main fleet of the Ming Empire and annihilate the sea fleet of the Ming army in one fell swoop! ”

Although if the main British fleet goes south, plus the main force of the Ceylon navy, it can indeed inflict heavy damage on the navy of the Ming Empire, but this is also an adventure for Britain, an adventure that uses its own national security as a bet.

If Germany had attacked France at a critical moment, Britain without a fleet would have lost the ability to blockade Germany and support France at sea.

Once France is defeated, the balance of power on the European continent will be broken, and the British Empire will face a rising and irrepressible German Empire.

"At this time, do we have to sit back and watch the re-emergence of the Ming Dynasty, and then fight another war against the Ming Dynasty with heavy losses?" The King of England felt a little annoyed.

His country had spent a lot of resources in recent years to deal with the growing power of Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Now to fight a new war against the Ming Empire, this is really desperate - the cost of the war is absolutely overwhelming, and it is something that no country wants to do for the Ming in its full form.

"Go and see the German ambassador immediately, if they continue to be so hostile and stubborn, we will sit back and watch the army of the Ming Empire occupy the whole of Asia!" The King of England finally gave a direction for a diplomatic solution.

He paused and said: "If the German emperor was not a short-sighted fool, he would not want to face a great Ming who has no worries!" ”

After all, Germany and Austria-Hungary had a greater sense of crisis for the Ming Empire than for the geographical location of the British Empire: they were separated by only one Muscovy.

If the Ming Empire really swept Japan and pacified Ceylon in the south, then the Ming Empire might have mobilized more than 500 troops to the north.

Muscovy would be the main battlefield, and after it had been reduced to ruins, the Ming army would continue westward and occupy every city they could see.

At that time, Germany and Austria-Hungary will have to face such a formidable opponent: half of the men of their country will die in battle, and the other half will be reduced to slavery!

There is no second Ceylon to save all of Europe this time, so the rulers of the European powers will not watch such a thing happen as long as they are not stupid.

"The Navy will transfer two more battleships to strive for superiority in the Indian Ocean!" At last, His Majesty made up his mind and spoke.

He stood up, strengthened his thoughts, waved his hand, and finally made his own decision: "Hold a press conference, the British Empire officially declares war on the Ming Empire!" (To be continued.) )
