Chapter 325: Angry British

"The German fleet has started to accelerate!"

"The distance between us and them is getting farther and farther!"

"We don't seem to see their fleet anymore."

"The transport fleet after the opponent's broken also disappeared from our sight!"

In less than 8 hours, 4 pieces of information have been sent to the Royal Navy headquarters.

"This group of lunatics!" Prince Louis angrily threw the documents in his hand to the ground! This time the British fleet came out to deter Germany, and even considered the possible reaction of the German fleet. Including this accelerated escape.

"Our fleet is thrown away! Even cruisers can't catch up to their opponents! I suddenly discovered that our fleet is made up of outdated and backward junk! Our fleet is like a cloud, but there are several usable warships. I can't find it!" The furious prince scolded in front of the executives.

"I regret it a little bit now. Fisher shouldn't step down from the position of the third maritime minister. Some of his actions are quite right. The fleet of the British Empire has decayed and has become conservative and surpassed by rising opponents. The French, Russians, and Americans are nothing. Our future opponents can only be Germans!"

"But this incident has exceeded our expectations. The relationship between the two parties has become very delicate due to some accidents. Now we cannot fall out with Germany, even if they are our biggest potential threat, but in Russia Before people stop expanding into the Far East, we must exercise restraint." Lord Hamilton reminded him that the navy's anger is understandable, but at the same time, the navy must also obey domestic political arrangements! The confrontation between Britain and Germany should not be exposed prematurely.

Because the Germans discovered that, if they were to confront the Germans thoroughly, Britain would have almost no allies in Europe.... Will the French dispense with the British just because of a statement from the British? Obviously impossible! How can hundreds of years of hatred end with a statement? The Russians and the British are obviously not friends, Italy has an ambiguous attitude, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the iron rod of Germany. If the British really made some big news, then the British would not be facing glorious isolation, they would be the public enemy of the world!

At the same time, the British cabinet is also discussing the future strategy of Germany. At this time, Chamberlain has returned to China from Germany, and after returning to China, he found the British Prime Minister Salisbury as soon as possible. He conveyed the attitude of the Germans-Germans will not back down, the Portuguese colony is determined to win, France must make concessions, in order to achieve this goal, Germany does not hesitate to use extraordinary means.

"Will Germany send an army to attack the French mainland?" Zhang Bolin said with some worry.

"No, they have assured Russia that they will not take large-scale operations at the land border." Salisbury shook his head and said.

"That is to say, the German emperor is bluffing? How can France yield without relying on military power?" Chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, there is no need for an army to make France surrender, their navy is enough!" The Prime Minister smiled bitterly. "Inadvertently, the combat effectiveness of the German Navy has surpassed that of the French. Although the French have more battleships and larger tonnage, facing the German fleet like a leopard, the French fleet is just a pig. ."

"Is it because of the naval battle in Africa? The Germans did it really cleanly, which is a little beyond people's imagination. The Germans are generally newer and their designs are indeed unique. But they stabilize France. People, I'm afraid it's a bit past, right?" Chamberlain said in shock.

"The Ministry of the Navy is discussing this issue. Just imagine that a fleet consisting of elite warships with a general speed of 20 knots or more can kill the same number of French warships in less than 2 hours, and can enter and exit the battlefield freely at any time. Isn't it scary?" The first one asked the opposite.

"Uh, 20 knots? The fastest battleship in the empire is only 18 knots. It doesn't seem to be difficult for a cruiser to reach 20 knots." Chamberlain said.

"But the German battleship is more than 2 knots faster than our dignity! As for the cruiser? It can indeed reach more than 20 knots, but whether it is Edgar or strong, it seems difficult to be under the attack of the second generation of Mainz. Survive for more than an hour. Don’t forget that the German Rurik is nothing more than a terracotta dog facing the German armored cruiser of Japan. What the Germans use for themselves is better than the takeaway.” Lord Hamilton explained.

"Okay, the professional issue of the Navy can be discussed later. Now I need to tell you my attitude towards this incident." After the Prime Minister finished speaking, the two people on the opposite side immediately sat down, and the critical moment finally came because of the Prime Minister's opinion. It is directly related to the future relations between major powers.

"In addition to the necessary solidarity, the British government will uphold the principle of neutrality." The Prime Minister's words are very simple!

"This.... Does this mean that we have succumbed to the Germans? Mere diplomatic protests have no effect. Although the Royal Army cannot withdraw, the Navy still has an absolute advantage~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Germans performed the deterrent mission without the support of a port. Although they are very elite and powerful, relying on the Strait Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet, we can still stabilize our opponents."

Although Lord Hamilton had already thought of this result, he was surprised when this sentence was uttered from the Prime Minister. Britain actually chose to compromise. This is unscientific!

"An empire that is simply powerful and does not understand strategy cannot be sustained for long. This is proved by the Spanish empire that once occupied almost the entire Americas or the Napoleon empire that once made Europe tremble."

"We need allies, and we need to unite all the forces that can be united. When we are in the best state and the other side is weakest, we will give the other a fatal blow. You may have realized Germany's challenge to the future British hegemony. He has ambitions and some The strength of advance ambition! And they are very close to us."

"But now is obviously not the time to do it. Germany is prospering and the empire is at an unprecedented level of weakening. Right now we need to deal with the Boers, and in the next few years we will help Japan deal with the Russians. Our enemies are far more numerous. To allies. And now retreat means better offense in the future!"

Regardless of whether the British have really listed Germany as a target that must be dealt with, and whether or not Prime Minister Salisbury really thinks so, one thing is certain is that the British Empire has interfered in African affairs. That's it!
