While Winston was still in bed, he was awakened by a loud tremor. He drank a lot last night and slept late.

It was the time to sleep soundly, and suddenly he felt that the heavens and the earth were shaking.

"Earthquake?" Winston jumped up from his bed and cried out in horror.

"Sir!" The butler also ran in in a panic, and when he saw that Winston was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly picked up his coat and dressed Winston.

"What's going on?" Winston asked, looking at the butler as he got dressed.

"I don't know sir, but it doesn't seem to be an earthquake." The butler helped Winston get dressed while looking out worriedly.

"Boom......!" There was another earth-shattering explosion.

Winston and the butler are unsteady on their feet and fall together on the bed. The scene is very unsightly!

The butler jumped up like a yellow, and he couldn't tell that he was already in his fifties.

"What's going on!" Winston couldn't care about getting dressed anymore, and hurriedly ran to the window to watch.

I saw a large puff of black smoke rising from the city, and fires had already burned in many places.

It's not an earthquake, it's certainly not an earthquake.

Winston's heart hung in the air as he watched a cannonball fall only five or six kilometers away from him.

With the screams of the people, a large number of buildings were blown into the sky. You can even see people flying into the air together with gunsmoke, and then falling down with teeth and claws.

Winston was so shocked that he muttered, "It's over, it's all over." ”

He already knew that it was the Ming army that launched an attack.

God knows where the Ming army came from. Could it be that they have already crossed Gibraltar?

No way! The commander of Gibraltar once patted his chest and assured that the Ming navy would have to sweep even mines for half a year.

What's more, Gibraltar has not yet been lost.

Large-caliber artillery still blocks the narrow strait. It was impossible for the Ming army to sweep mines in the narrow strait under artillery fire.

There is only one conclusion, the Ming army crossed the Cape of Good Hope and bypassed the entire African continent.

I didn't expect it to be so ruthless. Really rounded the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa!

That said, it was not the Portuguese planes that attacked the British Royal Navy fleet, but from the aircraft carriers of the Navy.

Now the fleet has made its way into the Thames, on the doorstep of the British.

Counterattack?

Having been Lord Chancellor of the Admiralty, Winston knew it was impossible.

The artillery fire of the army cannot deal with the navy at sea.

As for naval artillery ......, the navy of the British Empire was left with only a few small ships that could not be smaller.

Don't say that these small boats go out to fight, even if they are hit by the Ming warship, they will be crushed to the bottom of the sea.

The Ming battleships continued to fire, and the rudimentary positions of the British troops on the shore were quickly covered by artillery fire.

In particular, the powerful 480-millimeter howitzer has a crater diameter of more than 10 meters and a depth of 7 or 8 meters.

There is no chance that people who are 20 meters away from the bombing site will survive.

As for those twenty meters away, they were shocked to death. The glass 100 meters away was shattered in an instant.

No one knows how to dodge these shells, because they don't know where the next shell will hit.

The Ming army clearly did not have a map of the city of London, and their shells were completely random.

Some of the shells hit the train station directly, paralyzing the station in an instant.

Some of the shells hit the factory area, and although there were few casualties, they paralyzed the factory.

Some shells fell directly into residential areas, which were particularly deadly.

A single shell can even cause more than 100 casualties.

Especially when the shells fell into the crowd of people who were fleeing, it was a disaster.

There will be a rain of blood in the sky, and countless blood and human stumps and severed arms will fall from the sky.

As long as there are people alive, everyone has blood on their bodies.

It can't be described as shocking, it can only be described as miserable.

At the beginning, it was only battleships attacking with 480 mm shells.

And then there was the cruiser shelling with 370 mm shells from above.

In the end, the destroyer drove directly into the Thames, and the 120-millimeter howitzers on it fired incessantly.

Deliver artillery shells to every place that looks like a military facility, or a factory.

The Ming side has not yet dispatched the fighters on the aircraft carrier, and the British have no ability to fight back.

Winston watched all this in pain, and as Prime Minister he didn't know what to do.

Since the beginning of the world into the age of artillery, London has not been shelled on such a scale.

Nor has a warship of any country ever been able to sail to the mouth of the Thames and bombard London.

There is only one place in the city that has not been shelled, and that is the port of London.

Obviously, this is the preparation of the Ming fleet for future docking.

It also shows that the Ming Navy simply looks down on the few broken ships left by the Royal Navy.

Now let alone the British Royal Navy, even if it is a collection of warships from all over Europe. It's not the opponent of this Atlantic detachment of the Ming Empire!

The shelling lasted for two hours before the destroyers slowly withdrew from the Thames estuary.

They did not continue their attempt to attack England, but after a short supply at sea, they sailed north along the British Isles and began their journey around England.

Winston watched the Ming fleet withdraw, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

There was no choice but to convene an emergency meeting to deal with the emergency situation in front of us.

When Winston walked into the conference hall, it was packed.

Winston coughed lightly and sat down in the middle.

"Gentlemen, we have been shamelessly attacked by the Ming Empire. Just this morning, the city of London was hit hard.

Our people have suffered heavy casualties, and our factories have suffered heavy losses.

Ladies and gentlemen, we need to discuss what to do here. ”

Winston looked at the crowd with a solemn face!

No one spoke, everyone was looking at Winston. At this time, no one wants to be the first bird.

Winston didn't speak, and neither did anyone else, and the atmosphere in the room was awkward.

Admiral Neville moved his lips, but finally did not say anything.

Yesterday he had already been taught a lesson, and the matter of General Haig had taught him the power of these conservative forces.

If he dares to open his mouth at the meeting today, what awaits him will be an endless pursuit of conservative forces.

Don't talk about him, even if his whole family's life can be saved.

Now, not opening your mouth is the best protection.
