South East London, Kent, Medway Military Harbour.

This military port guards the entrance to the River Thames and can be said to be the gateway to London. During the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the audacity of the Dutch fleet penetrated deep into the Thames, raided the military port of Medway, dumbed the batteries, burned or captured six British sail battleships, and then blockaded the mouth of the Thames River for several months, forcing the British to humiliate and sue for peace. This battle was almost a national disgrace for the British Empire!

However, such a "battle of national shame" is now impossible to happen again...... British Prime Minister Duke Wellington is very confident in this!

Because when he was in Vienna, he reached a consensus with Zhuge Weijiu, the plenipotentiary of the Ming Dynasty, that neither side could attack the opponent's homeland, so as not to hurt the peace, and to save face, so as to facilitate marriage and rule the world after the war.

Well, this war is to fight for the position of the eldest and second, but no matter how you fight, you can't let the current junior be the second!

Because there are actually two "little three" in the world now, one is the Rakshasa Kingdom and the other is the United States...... Hehe, they're all ruthless characters!

Although the Duke of Wellington has secured the British Empire through private secret diplomacy, this does not mean that the British Empire will be able to lie down and rot in the future. Although the future of the British Empire is certainly not as big as it is now, how big it can be depends on how capable the British Empire is now...... How good it is to stir up!

The of the European continent, the British have already stirred up the "fragrant", the good things of the Rakshasa going south to Constantine have been stirred, the situation between France and the Rakshasa in Rome has been stirred up again, and by the way, the Pandora's box of the European revolution has been opened!

Next, some countries on the European continent have a good headache, and the high-quality population and capital in the country have to run to Britain, and Britain can also take the opportunity to use the pound sterling to get their supplies to fight the Ming Dynasty. Although they failed to tie the European countries to the anti-Ming chariot as cannon fodder, it doesn't matter, the more than 200 million people of the filial son of Great India and the rebel son of the United States can be "turned into ashes"!

And in order to encourage the United States of America, which is full of martial virtues, to be a cannon fodder that is not afraid of sacrifice or smashing North America, the British government, which is the turn of the Duke of Wellington, still has to come up with something good.

For example, 200-ton "aircraft carriers" and destroyers towing aircraft carriers, and of course, Kelly F2 carrier-based water fighters with pontoons, Kelly F1 fighters, and pilots who fly these aircraft.

Today is the day when these equipment and personnel leave the British military port of Medway and go to the New World across the ocean.

The military port was heavily guarded inside and outside, and it was a "good weather" with rain and fog. In the rain and fog, Kelly F1 or F2 planes were being hoisted by large cranes in the harbor onto the airship carriers moored on the edge of the pier - those 10,000-ton airship carriers converted from freighters.

Originally, the British Royal Navy wanted to use them to launch airship air strikes, but because of the large number of carrier-based aircraft, the British airships could only undertake high-altitude and long-endurance reconnaissance and alert tasks, and the number needed was not much.

Of course, these 10,000-ton airship carriers can also be used as aircraft carriers. The length of their aviation decks is 80-100 meters, and they can also take off and land carrier-based aircraft.

However, the speed of these airship carriers is too slow, and the fastest is only thirteen or fourteen knots, and they can't keep up with the main fleet at all, so they can only be used as escort aircraft carriers if they die.

In addition, the pilots of the Royal Navy have not yet mastered how to land on the flight deck - landing on a rickety deck less than 100 meters long in the middle of the sea is much more difficult than taking off! Moreover, the British have not yet invented the tools of arresting ropes, blocking nets, and landing mirrors to assist in landing.

Therefore, the British Royal Navy can only use a small 200-ton aircraft carrier equipped with seaplanes for the time being, and then it will be replaced by a large aircraft carrier or various aircraft-carrying warships in the future - under the influence of those aircraft-carrying battlecruisers and aircraft-carrying frigates built by the Ming Dynasty, now Britain and the United States have also embarked on the evil path of integrating battleships, cruisers and aircraft carriers...... At present, they are stepping up the "stitching monsters" such as carrier-based aircraft armored cruisers.

On the docks, the Duke of Wellington, Prime Minister, and George Brown, who is about to leave for the United States as the chief of the Royal Navy Advisory Corps. Rear Admiral Yoshiro was braving the drizzle and strolling away. Walking to the edge of the pier, looking at the destroyers, airship carriers and aircraft carriers with a displacement of 200 tons waiting to depart on the sea, they stopped together.

The Duke of Wellington lifted his cane, pointed to the ships waiting to depart on the sea, and asked George next to him with a smile. "George, four airship carriers, 20 fast torpedo boat destroyers, 40 aircraft carriers, 60 aircraft...... It's all up to you! There are also 12 Kelly IV airships on their way to the United States. With all this, do you have the confidence to make a big splash in North America? ”

"Duke," George. Yoshiro didn't look as optimistic as the Duke of Wellington, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to help the Americans defeat the Mexican-Japanese coalition and the Ming behind them with these ships and planes alone...... Because Daming must also be sending equipment to Mexico and Texas Japanese expatriates! Although their ships had to go around South America to reach the Caribbean, their planes, artillery, and ammunition could be transported directly to the west coast of Mexico. The situation is still not optimistic! ”

The Duke of Wellington laughed, "George, you still don't understand what I mean, I don't expect you to help the United States completely defeat the Mexican-Japanese coalition, I just want to turn North America into the main battlefield of this world-class war!" ”

"Duke, you mean to turn North America into the main battlefield?" George. Yilu thought for a while, "But Daming's next main target is likely to be Australia!" ”

The Duke of Wellington nodded and said, "Of course I know where Da Ming's main attack direction is next?" But I also know that the Ming will not ignore the Mexican Empire. Because they seem to have been well aware of the potential of North America since more than 100 years ago. So have been trying to turn themselves into an American country!

After the rise of the United States, the Ming Dynasty began to spare no effort to support the Mexican Empire to confront it. In fact, the Zhuge family of the Ming Dynasty has never regarded our Britain as an opponent. There are only three opponents in their eyes, one is the United States, one is the Rakshasa, and the other is the Indian Empire! Only these three countries have the strength to compete with the super empire of the Ming Dynasty in the future!

And we, the UK...... After all, it is only a small island country with a population of more than 20 million, and it can't even become the core of a unified Europe, so it is not in their eyes at all.

George, I am very sure of this judgment! Because I have known them more than 30 years ago, whether it is Zhuge Weijiu or Zhuge Youde, I am very familiar with them, I know what they are thinking! ”

George. Yilu nodded. He actually knows the thoughts of the Zhuge family...... As an elite of the British Royal Navy from a family, how could he not know about the Ming Dynasty and the Zhuge family? In fact, his graduation thesis at the Royal Naval Staff College in the United Kingdom was an analysis of the European policy of the Ming Dynasty, which, like the United Kingdom, could not allow European unity or the unification of most of it.

This is the reason why they decided to change their usual pro-French position after Napoleon became Emperor of France in favor of Britain and Rakshasa!

Come to think of it, George. Yilu nodded and said, "Duke, I understand...... If the United States inflicts heavy losses on the Mexican-Japanese coalition forces on the Texas battlefield, the Ming will definitely increase their investment, even if they have to invest much greater financial and material resources than the United States to turn the tide of the war in North America, they will not hesitate to invest! And the more they invest in North America, the less they can use it for India and Australia. ”
