Chapter 300
"The Ming people surrounded us to death, and we couldn't get out at all." The Admiralty, Marshal Ottoles, sighed helplessly.
"There are a lot of ships of the Ming people, but they won't surround us in Britain." War Secretary Eisenberg said dissatisfied.
Without overseas, especially from the United States, there will be big problems in the supply of the army.
Soldiers can tighten their belts and eat very little food a day.
But guns and artillery can't help but fire shells.
Originally, the British arms were sufficient, but under the wanton bombardment of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was London, Nottingham, or York's arsenal, they were repeatedly bombed by the Ming army.
Those arsenals near the coast were also bombed devastatingly by the large-caliber naval guns of the Ming army.
Those large-caliber guns, one shot can paralyze a workshop.
As for the inland arsenals, of any type. Even if it is a clothing factory, it will be bombed by the Ming Air Force unscrupulously.
The British air defense forces sadly found that their anti-aircraft guns were simply furnishings in front of the extremely fast aircraft.
Since the Ming naval aviation dropped its first bomb on British soil, more than three months have passed, and they have not shot down a single plane.
The poor record even made the anti-aircraft artillery desperate.
No way, their large-caliber high-altitude interceptor anti-aircraft guns are for dealing with airships.
The rate of fire is slow and the muzzle velocity is not high.
When the Daming plane is airdropped, it will also do various maneuvering maneuvers. Hitting a jerk off with this thing is like shooting a dragonfly with a javelin.
No one knows how Da Ming knew exactly the specific location of these arsenals, and the counterintelligence department arrested many people, but it was not sure that one person was indeed guilty.
In short, Britain is now in disarray.
"Daming has airplanes, and their planes can cruise more than 200 kilometers in the sea area in one day.
To besiege us, we simply don't need so many ships. ”
Field Marshal Otles was also helpless, and the previous Lord of the Admiralty resigned due to the total destruction of the Royal Navy.
He's a firefighter who was promoted on the fly!
The old marshal is almost eighty years old this year, and he simply does not want to sit here in a meeting. He is more willing to command the battleship and fight to the death with the vicious Ming people.
Pity!
Now the Ming Dynasty doesn't even have a destroyer-sized warship, and some only have some small gunboats.
Most of these gunboats, which were originally only capable of coastal defense, were only one or two hundred tons. There are even dozens of tons of them!
No one could have imagined that one day these ships would be able to become the main warships of the British Imperial Navy.
Time has changed, think of the majestic British Royal Navy fleet at the beginning, and then look at the present.
Marshal Otles was simply crying without tears.
"Don't talk about that, can the army resist the Germans?" Winston waved his hand and decided to move on to the formal agenda of the meeting.
"The enemy's landing site was all within our expectations, but on the day of the landing, the Ming army's artillery fire was too fierce.
And the night before, the enemy airships had brought over a large number of German troops to drop behind us, which we did not expect.
Now our soldiers have occupied all lines of defense. If the Germans wanted to attack London, they would not be able to reach the outskirts of London without killing 100,000 people. ”
"That means that the Germans are capable of hitting the outskirts of London?
How is the defense of London's perimeter doing? The Germans, can they attack or not. ”
Winston was taken aback by the words of the Secretary of War!
London is in danger of falling, and the city has not been breached by foreigners since the day it was built.
It has not been broken by the Germans!
Once London is breached, the morale and resistance to the British Empire will be very decided.
"Over the past few months, we have built two lines of defence on the outskirts of London.
Moreover, many of the fortifications and pillboxes were made of reinforced concrete. It will be difficult for the Germans to break through our defenses!
If they wanted to take London, the Germans would have to send more than a million troops. And nearly half of the casualties were done! "The Minister of War is very confident in the defensive line he has personally arranged.
"Don't be happy so early, the fortifications of London are stronger than those of Gibraltar?
How did Gibraltar fall? It wasn't because the defenders surrendered, but because they couldn't fight.
You have all read the telegram from Gibraltar, and their situation is so difficult.
The sneaky Spaniards actually took refuge in the Ming Dynasty.
His rebellion allowed the Ming army to set up artillery on the edge of Gibraltar in a dignified manner. Under the fierce bombardment day and night, this was the main reason for forcing the entire Gibraltarian defenders to surrender. ”
"Don't talk about Gibraltar, that place was occupied by the Ming people, which is a shame for the English Navy and a shame for the Army.
Let's talk about the current defense plan, you say that London will not fall, right? ”
"Yes! Your Excellency, Prime Minister! ”
"Okay, then I'll trust you. Prepare to be under the city of London and let the damned German old man deflat. ”
Winston himself didn't believe what he was saying, but he had to say it for the sake of his image.
Neither the sober people now want the war to continue.
But more people have been fanned by the newspapers. They don't understand the power of the Ming Dynasty, they just instinctively think it.
England is our home, and it is a city that has never fallen. They will defend every city, every house, every house here to the death.
Every day, many people sign up to join the army. They all believe that they should shed their blood for their country to prove their bravery.
Winston was a man who understood, but he didn't dare to say it.
As long as he dares to say it, the most important thing now is to surrender. As long as this news leaks out, 10 Downing Street will turn into a sea of mobs in an instant.
Perhaps, those who call themselves revolutionaries will give a lot of money to their subordinates.
The picture is very rich and wears, and it quickly reveals that it is different from people.!
"Okay, go back to work, and after you have exhausted the battle plan, you can know everything about you."
Winston sighed helplessly, so many high-altitude planes were something he had never expected.
It can be said that there is not a single qualified Feidong in the entire British Empire.
"Yes!" Meetings are as usual, war morale, and this kind of boring meeting will also increase by thirty percent.
For the sake of 30% of the brave points and the winning rate is still very powerful!
"We're confident we'll be able to stick to it, but ...... But Your Excellency Prime Minister, although we have a lot of money in the treasury!
But now we can't spend it. The Ming warship was just outside the harbor and watched for a while. ”
