After the war lasted until 1913, the war became more and more difficult for the Allies! First of all, the United States collapsed, and the world's largest industrial power was destroyed by China, which directly caused heavy losses to the Entente countries. Although the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military was poor, the U.S. dragged down China, the most powerful enemy of the Entente in the early stages of the war, otherwise the Entente would not have been able to hold out for such a long time. In addition, the strong industrial strength of the United States has also been revealed, not only to meet the consumption of the US military, but even to have surplus weapons and other strategic materials to support the European battlefield. After the United States was destroyed, Britain, France, and Russia all lost the support of the United States, which greatly affected the war strength of their three countries!

Russia, in particular, was already one of the weakest industrial powers among the great powers, and without the support of the United States, the Russian army could not even handle a rifle in its hands. Russia is now under siege by China and the Austro-Hungarian coalition. Fierce fighting continued on the Siberian Plain, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before Russia was defeated. Once Russia is defeated, the squadrons, armed to the teeth, will fight along the Trans-Siberian Railway all the way to Europe. At that time, the entire Western world will be threatened by those yellow-skinned monkeys of East Asia.

And the situation of Britain and France was also very bad, and the Germans did not know what medicine to take, as if they had gone crazy. The main forces of the German army launched the most formidable attack on the Anglo-French forces since the beginning of the war this spring. In addition, the application of new weapons such as airplanes, tanks, and armored vehicles doubled the combat strength of the German army, and the British and French forces were so miserable that they had to retreat step by step. Although Paris was still under the control of the Anglo-French forces, everyone believed that it would not be long before the Germans would enter Paris. And after the loss of Paris, will the French, who have already suffered heavy losses, still have the courage to continue the war? Once France concedes defeat, the rest of Britain will be left alone!

The war has now been very clear, and the Entente composed of Britain, France, the United States and Russia has been completely defeated in this war! The United States has been destroyed, and Russia and France are about to be destroyed. As for Britain, if nothing else, it may only end up being destroyed. However, the British, who had been the dominant maritime power for hundreds of years, really did not want to see that day come. The British somewhat hated why the Germans were unwilling to stop war with the Allies after the Chinese had already expressed their threat to the entire Western world, as long as the Western world could unite, it was completely capable of confronting China! However, the wrong decision of the Germans made the Chinese take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the United States, and no longer have to worry about fighting on two fronts. And this doomed the Entente and even the entire Western world to a tragic end!

The Prime Minister's Office, located at 10 Downing Street, has long been the center of power in the United Kingdom, and the British royal family living at Buckingham Palace is nothing more than a puppet with little power. When Britain became the dominant power on the seas and built a vast empire on which the sun never sets, decisions made from here could even affect the entire world.

However, as the war became more and more unfavorable to the Entente, the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing Street also seemed to be somewhat decaying!

On the evening of 10 May, British Prime Minister Asquith met with Major General West, the head of the British Intelligence Department. Prime Minister Asquith, who is now in his early sixties, is already full of gray hair and an old face. As the tide of war became more and more unfavorable to Britain, so did the pressure on him. Coupled with poor rest, his whole person ages very quickly!

"Your Excellency, the specific situation is like this. Our intelligence officers in Germany learned of the imminent attack on Gibraltar by the Chinese. Moreover, our intelligence officers in Egypt also confirmed that a week ago the main forces of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy had opened the canal, and at the speed of the Chinese, there are at most two to three days before they will attack Gibraltar! Major General West reported!

"Gibraltar! Do the Chinese really want to turn the Mediterranean Sea into their inner lake? Prime Minister Asquith looked a little helpless. There is no doubt that although China is in the east of the world, they now definitely have the strength to control the Mediterranean!

"If the information we get is not wrong, it should be like this! With the strength of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, our Mediterranean fleet simply cannot withstand their attack! Rear Admiral West said. The British Navy suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Sicily, and later lost all of its super-battleships in the Battle of the Bahamas. The Mediterranean Fleet does not have a single capital ship, and if it wants to confront the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean, it is absolutely impossible!

Prime Minister Asquith nodded, and although he felt a deep sense of shame at the result, he understood that this was the truth. The British Royal Navy is no longer the world hegemon it used to be, and the Chinese have led the navy twice in succession, even though Britain has struggled to catch up, but it still lags behind. Britain will also pay a heavy price for it, such as losing its position as the world hegemon, and even worse, maybe even the country will be destroyed! From what the Chinese have done in the United States, we can see how ruthless the Chinese are. In Europe, there are very few battles to destroy the country. But the Chinese, in order to remove the potential threat, are completely out of every possible measure. Therefore, Prime Minister Asquith is very worried about what kind of treatment will be suffered after the defeat of Britain, and whether it will be dismembered by the Chinese like the United States.

"General West, this news, is it possible that it is a trap? The trap of the Germans! They want us to send the main forces of the Navy to fight the Chinese, and then they take the opportunity to rush out of the North Sea! After all, after the victory of the Germans on the Western Front, the Germans would have landed in the British Isles if our navy could not defend our safety! Prime Minister Asquith asked suddenly. He suddenly realized that maybe there was such a possibility!

"This ・・・・・・, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, does not rule out such a possibility! It's just that if it needs to be confirmed, it will take a lot of time! Major General West said with some embarrassment!

"Okay, I see, you go down!" Prime Minister Asquith said. Immediately after the departure of Major General West, Prime Minister Asquith asked the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office to convene an emergency meeting of the Cabinet members. After all, the Chinese intend to attack Gibraltar, which is a big deal for Britain, and he can't be the master alone, and he needs to consult other cabinet ministers!

Soon the cabinet members rushed to the Prime Minister's Office, but almost all of them had a somewhat ugly face, even the most arrogant War Secretary Winston. Churchill also had a big face.

"Foreign Secretary Edward. Why didn't Sir Grey come? Prime Minister Asquith asked with a frown. After the rest of the Cabinet had arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, the Foreign Secretary closest to the Prime Minister's Office had to arrive.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the people in the Foreign Office said Edward. Sir Grey is receiving the Spanish Ambassador to the United Kingdom! The Prime Minister's secretary said.

"Spaniards? What do they want to do? Prime Minister Asquith thought with some confusion. But then he decided to ignore the matter, and now that the members of the Cabinet were all in order, except for the Foreign Secretary, the meeting began immediately!

"Ladies and gentlemen, MI5 has received news from Germany that the Chinese intend to launch an attack on Gibraltar, and the attack is expected to be in the next two or three days! What are we going to do? Prime Minister Asquith said!

"The Chinese are too greedy! They have taken control of the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca. These world's transportation arteries are under their control, and they are now seizing the Strait of Gibraltar, do they really want to control the world's transportation arteries? "Chancellor of the Exchequer David . Lloyd's. George grumbled!

"Your Excellency George, the Chinese don't just think about it, they already do it!" Colonial Chancellor George. Nathaniel. Marquis Curzon said. In the Chinese attack, Britain has lost most of its colonies, and now only the African colonies are still under control. It's just that once the Chinese free up their hands, these colonies will definitely be occupied by the Chinese!

"Well, let's not talk about anything else! The Chinese are going to attack Gibraltar, will we be able to withstand their attack? Prime Minister Asquith knocked on the table and asked!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's a pity! There are now only a few heavy cruisers left in the Mediterranean Fleet, as well as a number of light cruisers and destroyers! Not a single capital ship. And the Chinese's Indian Ocean Fleet now has 12 battleships and 1 battlecruiser, and this is the result of their retirement of old battleships! Of these battleships, 7 were captured by us, and the other two were captured by the French Navy! "Lord of the Admiralty, John. Sir Fisher said with a wry smile. In the Battle of Sicily, the combined fleet of the British and French navies suffered heavy losses and a large number of capital ships were captured, and now these captured battleships have become the main force of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy after repair. Such a result made the whole of Britain feel a deep shame!

"Your Excellency, the Army has only one regiment in Gibraltar, more than two thousand men. The Navy also has a battalion of marines there, totaling more than 3,000 people. If the Chinese attack, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist their attack! "War Secretary Winston. Churchill also said!
