Chapter 185 The Vicious German

"Minister of the Navy, now we are almost certain that the Germans have sent a fleet to sneak into the Atlantic Ocean. This fleet is attacking our merchant ships and transport ships everywhere, attacking our maritime trade lines. Only two days , We lost nearly a hundred merchant ships. If this continues, our maritime trade lines may collapse." A British general reported to Churchill.

"Damn! How did the German fleet slip into the Atlantic Ocean? Isn't our main fleet blocking the North Sea?" Churchill was furious. He knows very well what it means to Britain once the British sea transportation line is cut off. Their tactics of blocking Germany and then dragging Germany to death have no way of succeeding. Even Britain will collapse before Germany.

"Minister of the Navy, the Germans should have dispatched the fleet before the war started. Otherwise, they would never have been able to hide it from us," the admiral said.

Churchill suddenly didn't know what to say. It is understandable that the British navy only strengthened the blockade after the outbreak of the war. Who made the German Navy have the foresight to send the fleet into the Atlantic Ocean first?

"No matter what, we must find out the German fleet, destroy it, or drive it back to Germany. Otherwise, allowing them to attack our sea transportation line will cause us a fatal blow." Churchill said.

"Minister of the Navy, from the telegrams sent back by those sunk merchant ships before they sank, we have learned through analysis that the fleet sent by the Germans should be composed of battlecruisers. Therefore, if we want to destroy their fleet , this may be very difficult. After all, the speed of the battlecruisers is too fast, and our battleships simply cannot catch up."

"Where are our battlecruisers? The 'Invincible' battlecruiser, the 'Indefatigable' battlecruiser and the 'Lion-class' battlecruiser, aren't they all already in service? They are all dispatched. I don't believe it, nine ships The battlecruisers are no match for the six German battlecruisers!" Churchill ordered. If it wasn't for the battlecruiser 'Tiger' that hadn't been in service yet, it is estimated that Churchill would have dispatched the battlecruiser 'Tiger' as well.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Secretary of the Navy!" the British general nodded.

"However, Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy, I still recommend sending a main fleet to respond at the same time. After all, the Atlantic Ocean is too vast. It is very difficult to find German battlecruisers." The British general continued.

Churchill nodded: "Let's go to the 'George V-class' battleships. The four super dreadnoughts plus nine battlecruisers are twice the number of battlecruisers dispatched by the Germans. I believe that the Royal Navy It must be able to kill the German battlecruisers."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister of the Navy. However, we also found that in addition to sending battlecruisers, the Germans also sent submarines into the Atlantic Ocean. Many merchant ships were sunk by submarines. And those merchant ships were sunk by submarines. Before the attack, there was no encounter with a British warship. Therefore, we analyzed that it was a torpedo launched by a German submarine from underwater." The British general said.

"God! It's a battlecruiser and a submarine. The Germans have clearly planned this for a long time, specifically targeting the British Empire's sea transportation line. They have already figured out how to attack the British Empire. Damn Germany People, why are they so vicious!" Churchill's face was already dark as if it was the bottom of the pot.

Even though he is a very strong person, after gaining insight into the plans of the German Navy, he still felt chills all over his body. The tactics of the German navy are completely aimed at the British seven inches! If not handled carefully, this will constitute a fatal blow to the United Kingdom.

"Send our destroyers and light cruisers out to search for German submarines, and if you find one, sink one for me. I will never allow the Germans to attack our sea transportation lines so recklessly!" Churchill roared .

"Yes, Your Excellency the Secretary of the Navy." The British general nodded and immediately went to carry out the order.

Churchill sat in his chair and began to think about how to solve the current problem. If, before this, he thought that Britain would win the war in the end, then now, he has begun to doubt his point of view. The German navy is more difficult and powerful than he imagined. Even though the British navy is powerful, it may still be very difficult to defeat the German navy.

Squeezing out the cigar in his hand, Churchill stood up from the chair.

"Damn Germans, come on, I want to see how you challenge the Royal Navy. I will defeat you with my own hands and cut off your delusions." Churchill said with a grim face.

"Come on, prepare the car, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Office immediately!" Churchill ordered.

Although, it's already night. Prime Minister Asquith may have rested. But Churchill had no choice but to disturb him at this time. Who made the current situation so urgent that it even directly threatened Britain's victory or defeat in this war?

Five minutes later, Churchill got into the car and rushed to the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street. Ironically, Churchill was cursing the Germans just now. But the car he was riding in was a Daimler A-class car produced by Qin Tian's Daimler company. Although Churchill was unwilling to admit it, he still felt that German cars were much better than British cars in terms of comfort and appearance. Therefore, before the outbreak of the war, Daimler's A-class cars were exported to various European countries. The dignitaries of many countries have purchased Daimler A-class cars as their own cars. The British government is no exception. Almost most of the cabinet members' cars are Daimler A-class cars. No one cares about the cars produced by Britain itself. Because it's just too ugly.

Because the secretary had already contacted the prime minister's office in advance. So when Churchill arrived, Prime Minister Asquith was already waiting for him in his office. However, from the sleepy eyes of Prime Minister Asquith and the strong coffee on the desk, it can be seen that Churchill has indeed disturbed Prime Minister Asquith's rest.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am sorry to disturb your rest. However, the situation is really urgent, and there is no way to wait until tomorrow." Churchill apologized.
