Buckingham Palace, the office of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, is still lit. His Royal Highness is working hard for the future of the British Empire. However, God seems to have given up on Britain, and no matter how hard His Royal Highness tries, he will not be able to change the fate of Britain. The army of the vicious Chinese Empire has reached the British mainland, and the former world hegemon is about to stage its final swan song.

A soft body lay on Prince Albert's back from behind, and the familiar smell let Prince Albert know who was coming.

"Honey, aren't you sleeping at such a late hour?". Prince Albert squeezed a somewhat ugly smile out of his face.

"Honey, it's not your fault, don't put yourself too much of a burden. This is that God has abandoned the British Empire, otherwise the Chinese would not have become strong so quickly! A hint of regret flashed in Prince Albert's eyes. If they had known that the final threat to the Chinese Empire would be so great, perhaps, when the Xinhua Kingdom was established, Britain should have gone all out to destroy the Xinhua Kingdom. With the national strength of Britain at that time, it was easy to destroy a small Nanyang country that had just been established.

However, in the end, because of policy mistakes, Xinhua became stronger and stronger. In the end, it swallowed the whole of China. And when the Chinese Empire was founded, Britain could no longer prevent the ancient country from coming to life.

There is no regret medicine in the world. In the first place, Britain was not able to destroy the Chinese Empire while it was still weak. Strangling the crisis in the cradle. Now, then, they have to bear the consequences. Great Britain will be destroyed by the Chinese Empire.

"God gave up the British Empire? Why is this the case? We are God's most devout believers! Queen Victoria wept. Now Queen Victoria seems to be no longer the queen who stands tall, but a sad little woman.

"My dear, will those Chinese kill us and our children after they destroy Britain? I know that the Chinese like to do this the most, they always try to destroy every enemy. Queen Victoria's eyes were full of horror.

"Nope. Honey, you're thinking too much. Although the Chinese will perish Britain, they will not harm us. I will protect you and our children! Prince Albert said firmly.

Queen Victoria looked at Prince Albert suspiciously, wondering what else he could do. In Queen Victoria's mind, the Chinese Empire has been able to directly equate with the demons who crawled out of hell. She was a little skeptical, did Prince Albert really have this ability?

"My dear, the Chinese are very greedy for money, as long as we pay a certain price. They will keep your throne. That's why I left so much of my fortune. As long as you can keep your throne, even if it costs a lot of wealth, it will be worth it! Prince Albert said. He had already made up his mind to wait until Britain was destroyed. Send people to contact the Chinese secretly. If the Chinese Empire retains the throne of Queen Victoria, at least the Queen of England, then. He doesn't mind paying enough.

"Hmmm! My dear, those Chinese are very greedy. As long as we give them enough gold. They won't hurt us! Queen Victoria finally relented.

August 4, 1855, Alnick in the eastern part of the Cheviette Hills. The 14th Army of the Imperial Army, concentrating three infantry corps and a heavy artillery brigade belonging to Army Group, stormed the area. On the sea, the four 'Qin-class' battleships of the 1st Army of the Imperial Navy, also with a fleet of cruisers and destroyers, were frantically pouring fire on the British positions.

The shells fell densely, enveloping the entire British position in the smoke of gunpowder. The naval guns of the Imperial Navy were much more powerful than the artillery of the army. Even the British troops, hiding in the anti-artillery holes, could not defend themselves. Often, the entire anti-artillery hole was blown up, so that the British were buried alive inside.

At the same time, the 15th and 16th armies of the Imperial Army also attacked. The entire Cheviot Hill defense line was fought together. The British Army's defensive line was under heavy fire from the Imperial Army and Navy. A large number of fortifications were destroyed, and the casualties were very heavy.

William, the British commander in charge of the Cheviot Hill Defence, was in charge of the Cheviot Hill Line. Admiral Maynard immediately ordered the British army to be put into the highest state of combat readiness, so that all the troops entered the front line and prepared to defend themselves against the attack of the Imperial Army. At the same time, William. Admiral Maynard also sent a telegram to London asking the Marquis of Anglesey, Secretary of War, to send him more reinforcements. Otherwise, with only the army in his hands, he really would not be sure to hold the defensive line.

After heavy artillery fire, the attack of the Imperial Army began. In the face of the fierce attack of the Imperial Army, the resistance of the British army was not resolute. Except for a small number of British troops who resolutely resisted in the face of the attack of the imperial army, the rest of the British army wanted to save their lives. Either they chose to flee or they chose to surrender.

The most let William. What Admiral Maynard could not accept was that Lieutenant General Antson, commander of the 33rd Infantry Corps of the British Army, led the entire infantry corps to surrender to the Imperial Army. This directly led to the British Army's defensive line being torn open, and the troops of the Imperial Army's 14th Army could directly cross the British army's defensive line and outflank the British army's rear route.

When Willcastle fell into the hands of the Imperial Army's 14th Army, the British Army was shaken across the board. In order to avoid the back road not being cut off and not being surrounded by the Chinese army, William. Admiral Maynard had to order the British Army to begin a full-line retreat.

And at such a time, if the troops are not well-trained, it is very likely that the retreat of the whole front will turn into a rout of the whole line. There was no doubt that the British Army was a rabble, and after the order to retreat, they simply did not have enough troops left to break the rear to stop the attack of the Imperial Army. Even those British Army, who had been ordered to stay, retreated almost as soon as the main forces had withdrawn. As for the order to block the Imperial Army, it has long been forgotten by them.

There is only one thought on everyone's mind, and that is to save their lives, not die on the battlefield. It can be said that the war has reached this point, and the British Army has lost confidence in victory.

In the pursuit of the Imperial Army, the British Army could easily have turned into a rout on all fronts. A large number of British soldiers threw away their weapons and equipment in order to reduce their weight and speed up their escape, and even took off their military uniforms. The road south from the Cheviot Hills was full of supplies of weapons and equipment left behind by the British army.

When the Marquess of Anglesey, the Minister of War in London, learned that the Cheviot line had collapsed, he sat down on the sofa and was silent for a long time. He knew that Britain was finished, completely finished. The Chinese Army, moving south from Scotland, would sweep across the entire north of England.

In order to halt the rout of the British army, the Marquis of Anglesey had to draw troops from other defensive lines to reinforce him. This also made the British Army's forces in other defensive lines even more empty.

On 7 August, the 13th Army of the Imperial Army, escorted by the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy, crossed the Irish Sea and entered Bristol Bay, landing directly in Bristol. Originally, the 13th Army was planned to land in Wales. However, in order to give full play to the advantages of the Imperial Navy, Vice Admiral Liu Zhongming finally changed the landing site and placed it in Bristol.

Although, the British Army deployed more than 100,000 men in Bristol, along with shore defense batteries. However, the fierce shelling of the main forces of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy, the defenses of the British Army quickly collapsed. When the British Army's defenses collapsed, the Imperial Army's 13th Army landed in Bristol.

Bristol is less than two hundred kilometers from London. With the speed of the Imperial Army's advance, it won't be long before it reaches London. In order to ensure the safety of London, the Marquis of Anglesey had to once again transfer troops to intercept the 13th Army of the Imperial Army.

On 9 August, the Imperial Army's 20th Army landed in Eastbourne. With the help of the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy, the British fortifications were quickly destroyed. And this also directly made it possible for the 20th Army of the Imperial Army to land lightly.

Eastbourne is located less than a hundred kilometers from London, and the threat to London is far greater than that of the Imperial 13th Army, which landed in Bristol.

Faced with the threat of the Imperial Army, the Marquis of Anglesey had to divide his forces once again and prepare to intercept the 20th Army of the Imperial Army. This reduced the strength of the British Army near London to a very terrible level.

Although, the Marquis of Anglesey knew, there was still a strong army group in the Imperial Army that did not attack. However, he had no choice. If the forces in the London area were not transferred, then the only way to do this would be to sit back and watch the Imperial Army's 13th and 20th armies approach London. In the end, the British were unable to hold London. And after the transfer of troops near London, the last army group of the Imperial Army, without thinking about it, will definitely land near London.

On 11 August, the Imperial Army's 21st Army successfully landed at the mouth of the Thames and marched towards London. (To be continued......)
