London, Whitehall Street, Admiralty Conference Room.

Commander of the Caribbean Detachment of the British Royal Navy, William Brown, who had just retreated from the Atlantic Theater. Vice Admiral Baga, at this time was sending a letter to the British Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord of the Admiralty, Viscount Palmerston, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Robert Brown. Peel, First Sea Secretary Sir Hardy, Ordnance Director Somerset and others talk about their experiences of the Second Atlantic War.

Although he slipped away quite quickly and made America's friendly forces suffer, he still learned some lessons from the Americans' failures.

"First of all, our aircraft carriers and Kelly F1 carrier-based aircraft do not seem to be up to the air defense needs of the fleet. That kind of 200-ton aircraft carrier is too small and can only carry one aircraft. And only seaplanes can be carried...... The seaplane was so clumsy that it was a target for enemy planes in air combat. According to the Americans' report afterwards, their F1 plane did not even have a chance to shoot, but was shot down from behind by the Chinese plane with machine guns!"

Hearing this, Viscount Palmerston, the Lord of the Admiralty, asked Ordnance Superintendent Somerset with a furrow, "Fitzroy, does the Ordnance Directorate have any good solutions to this?"

"Of course!" Ordnance Director Somerset nodded solemnly, "We're going to issue air pilots with a submachine gun that can fire in bursts, so that when enemy planes go around behind our pilots, they can shoot backwards with submachine guns!"

"Oh," the Admiralty Lord was taken aback, but nodded anyway, "Well, that's a genius idea!"

Somerset shook his head, "No, no, that's not a genius solution, just a contingency plan. However, we will soon have large fleet carriers, and we have converted four aircraft-carrying armored cruisers with the hulls of the Mighty class armored cruisers under construction and the hulls of the Blake-class armored cruisers, which are now completed and undergoing sea trials.

In addition, we received a truly excellent aircraft from the Austrian Empire - the pigeon plane! It is a two-seater monoplane that weighs only 1760 pounds and is very agile. We improved it when we got it, replacing it with a 120 hp engine and changing it from a two-seater to a single-seater. Now such aircraft can take off from aircraft-carrying armored cruisers, and the maximum level flight speed is up to 100 knots!"

"That's great!" The Admiral's eyebrows fluttered, "We finally have planes and aircraft-carrying warships that can wrestle with Daming...... And the Americans are now also tied to the chariot by us! President Jackson has already proposed a troika summit attended by the United States, India, and the United Kingdom to discuss war against tomorrow, Japan, and Mexico. I think it's good for us to use this summit to devise a strategy to deal with the enemy in an all-out way!"

Sir Hardy, the First Sea Lord, immediately chimed in, "Duke, we should indeed come up with a three-nation joint battle strategy as soon as possible. Now that the conflict between the American theater and the Indian theater has broken out in full force, only the Pacific theater has not yet been fully opened. The Admiralty believes that the next phase of Daming's operational focus is likely to be to launch an attack on the Australian side...... In fact, over the past few months, they have been steadily advancing southward, building docks, fortifications and airfields on islands and reefs close to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands! And the reason why they did not commit the Pacific Fleet to launch a fierce attack on Australia may be because they want to concentrate their limited aviation forces in the Caribbean and Atlantic directions to help Mexico and Texas win the advantage in fighting against the United States." ….

Speaking of this, the British First Sea Lord smiled and said, "And now, the war situation in the direction of North America is quite ideal for the Ming Dynasty...... The United States was tied to our chariot, and Mexico became their proxy. In the end, no matter what happens, the United States and Mexico will not be great countries!"

After a period of confrontation and private temptation, Britain has completely grasped the ultimate intention of the Ming Dynasty - the purpose of the Ming Dynasty to launch this war is to seize the leadership of the world; second, to determine its absolute dominance in the Pacific; The third is to fully weaken the two potential competitors of India and the United States.

The realization of the last two goals means the first goal

The standard can be fully realized!

Now the United States has been caught in a ground war in North America, for example, which will be fought very badly, and India is in a passive state that will be attacked by the Ming Dynasty at any time. The goal of fully weakening India and the United States can be said to be close to completion.

Only a full-scale offensive against Australia in the Pacific direction has not yet begun...... And this Pacific-Australia battle is bound to be decisive.

Because once the Ming Dynasty seized Australia and became the absolute dominator of the entire Pacific region, the British Empire and the entire Western world would face an absolutely invincible enemy!

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty, who controls the entire Pacific Ocean, still has the ability to place the battlefield in the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding areas of the Pacific Ocean under his control are basically in a state of quiet peace.

In this case...... The war can be fought as long as they want, and it will hardly make the people of Daming feel any pain. In this way, the Ming Dynasty is invincible, and the British are of course invincible.

The Duke of Wellington also knew that the British Empire could no longer hide behind the "rebel America" and the "filial India...... Because Australia is not part of the United States, nor is it India's territory.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "It seems that it is time to bring our Kaiser Wilhelm back to London. He is the King of the United Kingdom, the supreme ruler of the entire British Empire, and he alone can lead the British people into a cruel, long, and likely to lose world war!"

Contrary to what many people think, the British royal power is not "rule without rule" from a legal point of view, but "the king is under the law". Crown power needs to be limited by the Bill of Rights, but it does not mean that the crown power is gone. According to British law, the king also has several powers, including "declaring war", "appointing and dismissing the prime minister", "veto and approving laws", etc., and is also the supreme commander of the British armed forces.

It's just that from Queen Anne, the monarchs of England did not use their royal power much, but put all the blame on the parliament and the cabinet, and then resigned themselves to being rubber stamps.

But now the British Empire's Kaiser Wilhelm is a little different from the previous "rubber kings...... He has already tasted the sweetness of power in India, and he has reached the point of "being happy here, not thinking about it".

It's really a bit difficult to invite him back to the UK to preside over the overall situation.

But if he doesn't come back, he'll be in India...... The United Kingdom, then, is legally required to recognize him as commander-in-chief in wartime and ask him to exercise a little royal power.

That is, the United Kingdom must obey the will of an Indian monarch and join a bloody war!

"Robert," the Duke of Wellington knew he couldn't leave, so he pushed the headache to Foreign Secretary Robert Robert. Peel, "Why don't you go to India...... Emperor Wilhelm must be brought back, and he should at least declare a state of war against the Ming in London!"

Robert. Peel frowned slightly, "Prime Minister, what should I do if His Majesty the Emperor insists on refusing to return?"

yes, what should I do? and you cannot tie him back with a rope...... And the current British government and parliament are not capable of depriving Emperor William of the throne of the United Kingdom, he is now in India, and the guillotine made by the British cannot threaten an Indian emperor!

The Duke of Wellington thought for a moment and said, "I will send a telegram to the Marquis of Nelson, and he will try to persuade the Emperor." His Majesty the Emperor trusts our naval hero the most, and he will most likely return."
