Chapter 323

London, inside the conference hall at 10 Downing Street.

Winston sat in his chair, furious like a lion.

"The Ming man is treacherous, he betrayed us. After we had emptied all our homes, they actually sold our men and weapons to the Germans.

I have long said that it is better to believe that the sow will go to the tree than to believe in the Ming people. The Admiralty slammed the conference table frantically.

None of the participants spoke, and the maritime trade with the Ming was cut off. That is, the British Empire lost all overseas aid.

The British Islands were originally overseas islands. The island's resources are relatively limited!

What's more, in the early days of the war, the bombing of Ming planes and naval shelling blew up many factories.

This has made the supply of war materials on the island even more expensive to the point of being incomparable.

There was even a time when the soldiers at the front line had only a consumption of twenty rounds of ammunition per day.

At a time when only crazy shooting can survive, the lack of bullets is simply fatal.

In order to continue to persevere, England smashed the pot and sold iron, emptied the last bit of gold and precious metals in the treasury, and only then did the Ming buy the British prisoners of war captured by them, as well as the British equipment and ammunition captured on the battlefield.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty sold the things of the British to the British.

Although the British held their breath, they could not help it.

After all, the war continues. You can't let the soldiers on the front line fight bayonets with the Germans!

You would like to fight with bayonets, but the Germans will not agree with the machine-gun mortars.

The British Empire, which has returned to its glory, has just been happy for a few days. The bad news came, and the Germans offered a higher price. British prisoners of war, as well as those British equipment, were bought.

The treacherous Ming people would just spread their hands and tell the British representative Howard: "This is a business, of course, we must pursue the maximization of profits." ”

"Now it's useless to roar, the Germans have hit the outskirts of London. At the current rate of advancement, it will be able to hit the suburbs of London in two days.

We can't resist the German attack! The War Minister sighed helplessly.

"Humph! What you mean is surrender. The Admiralty snorted heavily in his nose.

"Surrender is what you said, I didn't say it. Our army has resisted a bit, not like some of the so-called Armada guys.

Just a few days after going to sea, he was blown up and wiped out. The War Secretary sneered.

"Humph! We met the Ming Navy, and you only met the Germans.

How can the fighting power of the Ming and the Germans be the same? "Not to be outdone, the Admiralty Chancellor.

"Humph! We were so good that we fought with the Germans, and for a month we had strong fortifications to back us up.

withstood the constant bombardment of German artillery, but also withstood the constant attacks of the Germans. The battle loss ratio once reached one to two.

If it weren't for the lack of ammunition, we would have been able to push the Germans back into the sea.

You go to the front and see, what our soldiers are eating. They had to face the most ferocious German attack, but they could only eat half a pound of bread a day.

The soldiers are hungry and eat grass, and if you look around the position, even the grass roots have been gnawed away. ”

The Secretary of War was furious!

The Minister of the Navy was speechless, after all, they had fought to the point of running out of ammunition and food.

But the British Royal Navy, known as the strongest navy in Europe, ended up with no bones left.

The huge fleet set off, and in the end not even a small sampan returned.

Some time ago, when I ransomed prisoners of war from the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The Royal Navy also specially inquired with Daming whether there were any officers and soldiers captured in the naval battle.

The result is ......!

People say no!

After the battle, the sea was filled with British Royal Navy soldiers. However, Da Ming was not interested in fishing for them, and he did not shoot at those people in the water, which was already very restrained.

Sharks on the surface of the sea prefer these people, at least they can make the shark's belly bulge.

After listening to the account of the envoy's return, the remnants of the Royal Navy all cried into tears.

The British Royal Navy has been inherited for 100 years, and has been cultivating talents for hundreds of years. In this way, it was almost destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that that naval battle broke the ridge of the British Royal Navy.

"Alright, alright! Don't make any noise, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Can we win against the Germans with the supplies we have, and if not, for the sake of the people of the British Empire.

I'm going to propose a vote, would you like to ...... Surrender. Winston uttered the word with great resentment.

Once upon a time, he was also an officer in the Indian Army.

At that time, the British Empire was like an eagle soaring to the sky, and its national strength was unstoppable.

But it's only been 20 years, and that's how the situation has become.

The British have become second-rate countries in Europe, not only can they not be European leaders, but even when the joint conference is held, those small European countries have to flatter the British Empire.

Who would have thought that today the German army is already under the city of London.

Everyone's eyes were on the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance, who had no choice, finally stood up and flipped through a stack of papers in his hand.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellencies!

Since I was appointed Minister of Finance, I have spent all day worrying. For fear that something will go wrong, or go to the countryside to explain the truth to the people in person. ”

"Huh! Singing high notes who wouldn't.

Let me tell me what went wrong with the finances. When will our arsenal be able to supply the consumption of the front.

My soldiers can go hungry, but my machine guns can't go without bullets. A gun without bullets is not as good as scrap metal. The War Secretary slammed the table again in anger.

"It's useless for you to smash the table, the finances have done their best. When the factory will start, this is a matter for the Ministry of Industry.

With the money from the state treasury, we redeemed a total of 270,000 captured soldiers of our army. Moreover, we also acquired enough equipment to arm one hundred and fifty divisions of our army.

All these equipment, we all want the best. Just unpack it and you're ready to use.

You Army should not complain about us, but be grateful to us.

If it weren't for the men and equipment that I brought to you, London would have fallen long ago. The Secretary of the Treasury angrily pointed at the Secretary of the Army.

The Minister of War cowardly did not speak, but the Minister of Finance had a point, and the Ministry of Finance had done everything it could in this matter.

However, the Minister of Finance mentioned the Minister of Industry, and everyone's eyes turned to the Minister of Industry.

The Minister of Industry blushed!

"Many of our factories were blown up by the Ming bombing. It's okay to say that the factory building, but after those machines are damaged, it is difficult to repair them. So ......"

"So what?" Winston asked, looking at the Minister of Industry.
