"Guys, I think that, in addition to attacking Gibraltar and Italy, we should also do it to the British! The British Navy has now suffered heavy losses, and there are more than a dozen old 'Dreadnought' battleships left. With our current strength, we are fully capable of annihilating the British Navy and supporting the landing of large forces in Britain! "Marshal Li Dingxin, commander of the home fleet!

For a moment, there was some silence in the office. Although China has pulled Britain from the position of maritime hegemon, it may still be difficult to destroy Britain! Although China has already destroyed the United States, it is about to destroy Russia and Italy. But these battlefields will also hold back China's main forces. If you want to destroy Britain at the same time, I'm afraid it will not be easy! Although Britain has declined, the heritage of hundreds of years of maritime hegemony still exists! If China wants to land on British soil and eventually destroy Britain, I am afraid that it will have to invest a lot of strength! Moreover, there are a series of issues involved. The Germans, for example, would never have seen China land in Britain without their eyes. At that time, whether the German troops landed in Britain or the Germans supported the British, this would cause great trouble to China. If not, there is a possibility that a quagmire of war will form in Britain. After all, Britain was too far away from China, and it would have to take a lot of effort to secure the logistical supply of the troops fighting in Britain. Especially when dealing with the difficulties of the Germans!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I also know that it is very difficult to take out the British! But let's not forget, the British Isles are isolated outside the European continent, if we can take the British Isles, then we will have a solid base in Europe, and then we can follow the example of the British and blockade the Germans directly on the European continent! In this case, it will be much easier for us to defeat the Germans and achieve the status of world hegemon! Otherwise, we will have to prepare for war with the Germans all over the world! Marshal Li Dingxin continued!

Marshal Zhang Cheng nodded, at the beginning of the world war, Britain directly blocked Germany on the European continent with its strong naval strength, cutting off the passage between Germany and the outside world. If it weren't for China's support for Germany through the Guò Bagudad Railway, Germany would probably not be able to hold out, let alone have an absolute advantage on the battlefield. If China can capture the British Isles, it can undoubtedly establish a strong bridgehead in Europe, and with the strength of the Chinese navy, even if Germany captures France, it can completely block Germany! Even if it doesn't work, the war can be limited to Europe. Once Germany is cut off from overseas, even if China fights a war of attrition with Germany with its national strength, it will be able to directly drag Germany to death!

"However, if we attack the British, we will probably have to commit the main force! First of all, the main forces of the Navy were to be thrown into the war against the British. I'm afraid the army will have to invest millions of men! If the Germans support the British, we'll have to commit more troops! "Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, said!

"Marshal, I am also in favor of sending troops to Britain! After taking Britain, the empire will not be threatened for a long time to come, at least the homeland and important colonies will not be attacked! It would be very advantageous for the Reich if we could limit the future war with Germany to Europe! Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, also said. At this time, everyone seems to have forgotten that the agreement signed between China and Germany that after the end of the war, China's power will withdraw from Europe and hand over Europe to Germany and other countries of the Central Powers! The original agreement was a complete disgrace to China, especially to the Chinese. Many generals of the military did not recognize this agreement, believing that it was because they were coerced by the Germans at that time, and in order to stabilize the Germans, they had to agree to the Germans in this way! This is just a delaying tactic, and the current international situation is completely different from the beginning, and China will naturally not continue to abide by that agreement!

"Good! I will inform the Emperor of this plan, as for whether the plan will be implemented, it depends on the opinion of the Emperor Xià! But let's get started! Once His Majesty agrees with our battle plan, then we will attack in the shortest possible time! In particular, the campaign for the capture of Gibraltar must begin within ten days at the latest! "Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, said!

"Yes, Marshal, I'll rush back to the fleet in the afternoon!" Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, said! These military generals, as soon as they heard that there was a battle, they were very excited!

After that, Marshal Zhang Cheng announced the adjournment of the meeting, and at the same time asked the generals of the Admiralty to begin preparations for the three battle plans. And he rushed to the Xinhua Palace, reported the opinion of the Admiralty to the Emperor Xià, and asked the Emperor Xià to agree to the Admiralty to implement these three plans! The plan to capture Gibraltar would be carried out by the navy alone, without the cooperation of the army. The plan to defeat Italy required the cooperation of the army. However, with Italy's strength, the army only needs to send a part of the troops to complete it, which will not have much impact on the army's next plan. However, the plan to land in Britain requires the army to draw the main force to fully cooperate! Marshal Zhang Cheng knew that there would be no problems with the previous two plans, and he would definitely win the support of the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze. But the third plan to land in the UK is probably a bit tricky! After all, now the main forces of the Chinese Army are still in the Siberian Plain. After the battle on the Siberian Plain was over, the main force of the army would take the opportunity to invade the European part of Russia, and perhaps even confront the Allied armies, and in order to ensure that the empire would have enough to share the benefits of the destruction of Russia, the army must maintain a strong enough force in Russia. At this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to draw enough troops to land in the UK! Of course, from the standpoint of Marshal Zhang Cheng, he certainly hoped that these three battle plans would be approved!

Emperor Wang Yuze has been in a good mood for the past two days, and the war on the Siberian Plain has developed in a direction favorable to China! Marshal Cai Yun, chief of the General Staff, had sent him a telegram to report the latest battle situation and the forecast of the war situation, and in a week at most, the Chinese Army would be able to achieve a decisive victory in the Siberian Plain, and it would take a month at most to completely end the war on the Siberian Plain. When the time comes, after solving the Russian army in the Siberian Plain, the Chinese Army will be able to cross the Ural Mountains, cross the Ural River, and enter the Eastern European Plain! And Russia, which has lost its sharp troops, has no chance of keeping the country! When the time comes, it will be the time for China to seize more benefits!

Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, asked to see him and submitted three battle plans from the Admiralty, which made Wang Yuze very interested! The main forces of the Navy have been resting for several months, and there is no reason to let them idle any longer. During the war, it was a great waste to let the main forces of the Navy sit idle for such a long time! However, the three battle plans of the Admiralty cellar gave Wang Yuze a bit of a headache. There is no doubt that the ambition of the navy is not small, and it is not much of a problem to capture Gibraltar, and it is a little difficult to want the army to cooperate with them to destroy the two world's top powers! It's not that it can't be done, but with China's current strength, it is somewhat incapable of launching such a large-scale operation at the same time. Didn't you see that the Germans, in order to defeat the Anglo-French alliance and capture France, put all the main forces on the Western Front? Only a small number of troops were left on the Eastern Front to defend!

Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Navy, looked at the Emperor Wang Yuze worriedly, wondering if the three battle plans of the Admiralty would be approved!

"The capture of Gibraltar can be carried out immediately by the Admiralty! However, the next two battle plans have to be considered in the long run! Wang Yuze finally said!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Zhang Cheng nodded.

"Someone, go and ask the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Defense!" Wang Yuze commanded outside the door!

The guards outside the door answered, and immediately someone called the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Defense, summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, and Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense, all rushed to the palace as soon as possible! From Wang Yuze's order to the two of them rushing to the palace, the whole process took less than ten minutes!

"This is the battle plan submitted by the Admiralty, take a look!" After Marshal Zhao Bowen and Marshal Jiang Xingguo arrived, Wang Yuze directly handed them the Admiralty's plan, and he was ready to listen to their opinions before deciding whether to approve the Admiralty's battle plan!

Marshal Zhao Bowen and Marshal Jiang Xingguo immediately opened the plan and looked at it, this was the battle plan that the Admiralty had just drawn up, and they had not been told to them before. Therefore, it was the first time for the two to see this battle plan! However, the two were also shocked by the Navy's generosity!

A few minutes later, the two closed the plan, and they already had a general idea of the Navy's battle plan!

"Your Majesty, the Navy's first plan doesn't need our cooperation! The second plan, the army can draw enough troops out to destroy Italy, is not a big problem! It's just that there are still Austro-Hungarian and German forces in northern Italy, and if we want to make the most of it in Italy, we must take Rome before they are taken! As for the third plan proposed by the Admiralty, does the minister think it can be postponed? Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, said! rs！。
