At the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing Street in London, England, the British Prime Minister's Residence was in a gloomy cloud at this time, and British Prime Minister Henry Campbell Banervan, War Secretary Henry Wiley, Admiral Fisher, and Foreign Minister Marquis Lansdowne were all worried about the difficult situation that Britain was suddenly in.

The second joint expeditionary fleet, which was huge and powerful, was defeated in the hands of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which made the strength of the British Navy drop by several levels at once, not to mention going to trouble the Imperial Chinese Navy, if the Imperial Chinese Navy did not take the initiative to trouble the British Navy, the British should be Amitabha!

War Secretary Henry Wiley asked Prime Minister Henry Campbell Banervan: "If the Combined Expeditionary Fleet formed by the Entente, the Allies and the United States has failed, what will happen to the 300,000 British Army, 100,000 French Army and 100,000 German Army that are operating with the Combined Expeditionary Fleet to support India?" You know, that's the hope of our British Empire to hold India! ”

Prime Minister Henry Campbell Banervin said with a wry smile: "The telegram sent back by General Bridget is here, and he did not mention the 500,000 elite armies of Britain, France and Germany that followed the Joint Expeditionary Fleet, but the Joint Expeditionary Fleet has failed miserably, and the 500,000 elite armies who take transport ships face the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy with superior speed, I think it is difficult for any miracle to happen, maybe there will be more than 500,000 prisoners of war from the British, French and German armies in the prisoner of war camps of the Chinese Empire. Our British Empire is in big trouble this time! ”

War Minister Henry Willy suddenly covered his head with his hands and said with a painful face: "It's over!" Without 500,000 reinforcements, what would we do with India in the British Empire? ”

The current British colony in Asia. In addition to India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma have all fallen into the hands of the Chinese Empire. In addition, the two Commonwealth countries, Australia and New Zealand, have completely fallen under the iron heel of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Britain lost more territory than the Russians in this war. And after this naval battle, which broke out in the Arabian Sea, the situation in Britain was even worse than in Russia.

The army of the Chinese Empire has concentrated more than one million elite troops around India, without the elite troops of the 500,000 British, French and German armies, it is really an extremely difficult thing for the British to hold India, the most important source of raw materials for the British, after all, most of the current Indian army is a British colonial army with weak combat effectiveness, relying on these Indian-dominated troops to resist the millions of elite Chinese Imperial Army like wolves, or don't have any hope!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne, hesitated. said to the other 3 people in the office: "To tell the truth, after the defeat of this decisive naval battle, our British Empire no longer has the capital to fight against the Chinese Empire!" I think...... I don't think it's better to be ready to end the war! There is an old Chinese saying called lying on the salary to taste the courage, and we in the United Kingdom need to lie down for a few years to rearm and war, in order to seek revenge in the future! ”

War Secretary Henry Wiley and Navy Secretary Fisher were also of rare agreement on this point, and both agreed to end the war, which had little hope of victory.

Prime Minister Henry Campbell Bannavin suddenly seemed to be a few years older, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "It's time to think about ending this war." However, the defeat of this war, our cabinet will not be able to preserve, and it will definitely fall! But for the sake of the future of the British Empire, the fall of a cabinet is no longer insignificant. Marquis of Lansdowne, contact the other countries participating in the war as soon as possible to see if the other countries have any intention of armistice. ”

War Secretary Henry Wiley, Navy Secretary Fisher, and Foreign Minister Marquis Lansdownne were not in fact concerned about the dissolution of Prime Minister Henry Campbell Banervan's cabinet. I don't really care, the three of them have a huge influence in the British military and political circles. The last time Henry Campbell Banavon formed a new cabinet, he had to continue to use the three of them. The three of them have to be regarded as confidants, even if the new cabinet is established in the future, basically the three of them will have to be used to hold their current positions.

And don't look at the War Secretary Henry Willy and the Navy Secretary Fisher often have disputes on the surface, but in the overall interests of the three of them, the three of them have always worked together, which ensures their status.

The 500,000 elite troops of the British, French and German armies, which worried several important British ministers, have really fallen into a desperate situation.

After the Joint Expeditionary Fleet was attacked by the first wave of air attacks by the carrier-based aircraft group of the Royal Chinese Navy, the main force of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet rushed in the direction of the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, while the more than 900 transport ships that followed the Combined Expeditionary Fleet took the initiative to stay behind, waiting for the Joint Expeditionary Fleet to defeat the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and then continued to follow the Combined Expeditionary Fleet to the port of Mumbai, India.

Among the more than 900 transport ships, more than 500 are troop carriers carrying officers and men of the British, French, and German armies, and there are also weapons and equipment and ammunition for 500,000 army troops on board, and the other more than 400 transport ships are carrying various supplies for the entire joint expeditionary fleet.

However, in the end, these more than 900 transport ships were not waiting for the news of the victory of the joint expeditionary fleet, but the remnants of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France that fled in disarray, as well as the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire densely packed in the sky, as well as hundreds of warships of the three main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire.

The remnants of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France who escaped simply do not have the strength to manage the more than 900 transport ships, and the speed of these transport ships is generally very slow, unless the remnants of the warships of the British, American, German, and French navies of the four countries stay behind and use their own sacrifices to block the hundreds of warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy pursuing behind, and perhaps more than 900 transport ships can escape.

It is a pity that the warships of the four countries that escaped from Britain, the United States, Germany, and France are not living Lei Feng, and at this time, where can they take care of any transport ships, it is not easy to protect their own warships, and even the escape on the routes where the remnants of the navies of the four countries come and go, they all have the meaning of taking 500,000 troops on their backs.

On a British transport ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, the commander-in-chief of the 500,000 British, French, and German army units, British Army Admiral Mischuham, saw the embarrassed joint expeditionary fleet, the dense Chinese Imperial warplanes in the sky, and the hundreds of Chinese Imperial warships like wolves in the distance, and scolded: "Bridget, this bastard!" Since it can't beat the navy of the Chinese Empire, it doesn't fart early. Didn't even notify us, now let's these transport ships that are not fast. How to escape from the pursuit of the Imperial Chinese Navy! Isn't that sending us to hell? ”

Leicester, the chief of staff of the 300,000 British troops beside Michaelham, said in despair: "General, we are finished." With the speed of the transport ship, you don't even want to escape! Even if it is dark, it is useless, the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy have radars on them, and they can use the radar to lock the positions of our transport ships, and then catch up with us with a speed far exceeding the speed of the transport ships, and sink the transport ships we are on. ”

Mishuham looked at the sky that was about to darken, hesitated for a moment and said to Lester, the chief of staff beside him: "Can you rely on the night to disperse and break through?" Maybe we can get out of the British transport ships and let the boys of the army take a boat back to England! ”

Lester shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I don't know how many transport ships will be sunk by the warships of the Chinese Empire, if it is a troop carrier carrying army officers and soldiers." Every time one is sunk, it will bring a large number of casualties, and our 300,000 British Army officers and soldiers may be less than one in ten who can finally return to Britain! Admiral, in order to get the 300,000 British army officers and soldiers back to their homeland as much as possible, it is wiser not to take any action! ”

Mishuham pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said, "It's come to this." I had to go that way! Send telegrams to General Skoll of the German Army and General Hencatelli of the French Army, telling them that at this time they are in a desperate situation and that our British Army is ready to surrender! At the same time, all British transport ships were ordered to raise the white flag. Surrender to the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy. ”

The French were wise to see the large number of warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy surrounding, and the telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French-German forces, Mischham, had not yet reached the commander of the French 100,000 army, Admiral Henccatelli. Admiral Hencatelli had already ordered all French transports, including troop carriers, to raise the white flag. Hencatelli was afraid that the surrender was over, and these French supply and troop carriers were over. It will become a target for the warships of the Chinese Empire.

With the order of the British Army Commander Mischuham to surrender, more than 300 British troop carriers and more than 250 supply transport ships stopped their ships and raised the white flag.

However, the commander of the 100,000 German Army, Admiral Skoll, was a little tough, and he wanted to escape with more than 100 German troop carriers and more than 70 supply transport ships, and then the warships of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, which were approaching, easily sank 5 German troop carriers and 2 German supply transport ships in a row, so that the German Army commander Admiral Skoll understood the current situation and had to order all German troop carriers and supply transport ships to raise the white flag.

Originally, Sun Xitao, who was the temporary commander-in-chief of the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Imperial Chinese Navy, was also prepared to let the nine Emperor-class aircraft carriers and a part of the main forces of the three fleets use radar to continue to follow the remnants of the British, American, German, and French navies of the joint expeditionary fleet at night, and continue to launch air raids on the remnants of the British, American, German, and French navies during the day tomorrow, leaving as many warships as possible of the British, American, German, and French navies, and even completely annihilating the entire joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Allied Powers, the Allied Powers, and the United States.

However, more than 100 warships of the navies of the United Expeditionary Fleet were captured, including 2 super dreadnought battleships and 8 dreadnought battleships, and more than 900 transport ships of the United Expeditionary Fleet were captured, plus the 500,000 army troops of Britain, France and Germany on the transport ships, so that Sun Xitao gave up the plan to continue to attack the remnants of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany and France. Most of the warships of the three fleets must be put into the escort.

Moreover, the carrier-based aircraft on the nine aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy suffered heavy losses, and Sun Xitao was not too distressed about the loss of the aircraft, but the large losses of the pilots and crew members on the aircraft made Sun Xitao feel distressed.

If the air raids continue tomorrow, more warships of the navies of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France may be left, but the losses of carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire will certainly increase, after all, among the remaining navies of the four countries, the anti-aircraft firepower is still very strong, even stronger than during the battle.

The battleships of the navies of the four countries did not need to line up in battle, so these battleships could gather close enough to provide each other with anti-aircraft fire.

In addition, the weather station on the warship reported that there will be a typhoon of magnitude 6 to 7 in the Arabian Sea in the next few days, and perhaps the typhoon will start tomorrow, and it is impossible for carrier-based aircraft to take off for combat with such a large typhoon.

After thinking about it comprehensively, Sun Xitao decided to accept it as soon as he saw it, and ordered three aircraft carrier battle groups to escort the rich booty and return to the direction of the Chinese Empire's Malacca Naval Base.

Lin Daxin did not feel any pity when he learned that the three aircraft carrier battle groups had given up continuing to pursue the remaining naval fleets of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France, and agreed to the immediate evacuation of the three aircraft carrier battle groups to the Malacca naval base.

This time, the three aircraft carrier battle groups have successfully completed the task of defeating the second joint expeditionary fleet, which can be said to be perfect, most of the warships of the countries of the joint expeditionary fleet have either been sunk or have become trophies of the imperial Chinese navy, while the losses of the three aircraft carrier battle groups are many, much less than those of the joint expeditionary fleet.

Lin Daxin is already very satisfied with this result, as for not being able to completely annihilate the joint expeditionary fleet, Lin Daxin doesn't care about it, and Lin Daxin thinks that the strength of the navy of these countries should not be directly weakened too much, otherwise these countries are likely to continue to unite and deeply cover up all their contradictions with each other.

Although the possibility of the First World War breaking out between the Entente and the Allies in this time and space is already very small, Lin Daxin has always had illusions and is very persistent!

The remnants of the fleets of the British, American, German, and French navies who escaped did not know that the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire had given up the pursuit of them, and the fleet commanders of the navies of the four countries all ordered their warships to flee to the west of the Arabian Sea at full speed at night.

Fortunately, the remnants of these warships of the navies of the four countries had just been replenished with enough coal and food from the transport ships before the battle, which could ensure that these warships of the navies of the four countries could escape the Arabian Sea and reach the ports of the British in the Middle East.
