"Naval Minister, now we are almost certain that the Germany people sent a fleet to slip into Atlantic Ocean. This fleet is attacking our merchant ships and transport ships everywhere., attacking our maritime trade lines. In just two days, we have lost nearly a hundred merchant ships. If this continues, our maritime trade lines may collapse," a British general reported to Churchill.
"Damn it! How did the German fleet slip into the Atlantic Ocean? Hasn't our main fleet been blocking the North Sea?" Churchill was furious. He knows very well what it will mean to Britain once its maritime transportation lines are cut off. Their strategy of blocking Germany and then dragging Germany to death has no way of succeeding. In fact, Britain will collapse before Germany.
"Naval Minister, Germany people should have dispatched the fleet before the war started. Otherwise, they will never be able to hide it from us." said the naval admiral.
Churchill I suddenly didn't know what to say. British Navy It is understandable that the blockade was strengthened only after the war broke out. Who gave German Navy the foresight to send the fleet into Atlantic Ocean first?
"No matter what, we must find German fleet, destroy it, or rush back to Germany. Otherwise, allowing them to attack our maritime transportation lines will cause us a fatal blow." Churchill said.
"Naval Minister, from the Telegram sent back before the sunken merchant ships sank, we learned through analysis that the fleet sent by the Germany people should be sent by Battlecruiser. Therefore, if we want to destroy their fleet, it will be very difficult. After all, Battlecruiser is too fast and our Battleship cannot catch up."
"Where are our Battlecruiser? 'Invincible-class' Battlecruiser, 'Indefatigable-class' Battlecruiser and 'Lion-class' Battlecruiser, haven't they all been sent out? I don't believe that nine Battlecruisers can't defeat the six Battlecruisers of Germany!" Churchill ordered. If the "Tiger" number Battlecruiser had not yet entered service, it is estimated that Churchill would have dispatched the "Tiger" number Battlecruiser.
"Yes, Naval Minister!" The British general nodded.
"However, Naval Minister, I still recommend sending a Capital Ships team to respond at the same time. After all, Atlantic Ocean is too vast. It is very difficult to find Germany's Battlecruiser," the British general continued.
Churchill nodded. "Let'George V-class' Battleship go. Four super-Dreadnought plus nine Battlecruiser, it's The Germany people sent out twice as many Battlecruisers. I believe that the Royal Navys will be able to kill the Battlecruisers of the Germany people."
"Yes, Naval Minister. However, we also found that in addition to sending Battlecruiser, the Germany people also sent submarines into the Atlantic Ocean. Many merchant ships were sunk by submarines. Those merchant ships did not encounter the Britain warships before they were hit. Therefore, we analyzed that it was German submarines that launched Torpedo from underwater." The British general said.
"God! It's Battlecruiser and it's a submarine. The Germany people have clearly planned this for a long time, specifically targeting British Empire's maritime transportation line. Action. They have already thought about how to attack British Empire. Damn Germany people, why are they so vicious!" Churchill's face was as dark as a pot.
Even though he is a very strong person, after understanding German Navy's plan, he still felt cold all over. German Navy's tactics were completely targeted at Britain's seven inches! If not handled carefully, this will be a fatal blow to Britain.
"Send our destroyers and Light Cruiser out to search for German submarines. If you find one, sink one for me. I will never allow the Germany people to attack our maritime transportation lines so unscrupulously!" Churchill roared.
"Yes, Naval Minister." 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, he thought that Britain would win the war in the end, then now, he has begun to doubt his own view. German Navy is more difficult and powerful than he imagined. Even though British Navy is powerful, it may still be very difficult to defeat German Navy.
Putting out the cigar in his hand, Churchill stood up from the chair.
"Damn Germany guys, come on, I want to see how you challenge Royal Navy. I will personally defeat you and cut off your delusions." Churchill said with a ferocious look.
"Come here, prepare the car, I want to go Prime Minister's residence right away!" Churchill ordered.
Although, it is already night. Prime Minister Asquith may have taken a break. 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 Prime Minister's residence at Downing Street. What makes people feel ironic is that Churchill was cursing Germany people just now. But the car he was riding in was surprisingly Daimler A-Class car produced by Daimler Company, a subsidiary of Oscar. Although Churchill was unwilling to admit it, he still felt in his heart that the Germany car was much better than the Britain car in terms of comfort and appearance. So before the war broke out, A-Class car of Daimler Company was exported to Europe various countries. Dignitaries from many countries have purchased Daimler A-Class car as their cars. British government, is no exception. Almost most of the cars of Cabinet members are Daimler A-Class car. No one cares about the cars produced by Britain itself. Because it's so ugly.
Because I have asked the secretary to contact Prime Minister's residence in advance. So when Churchill arrived, Prime Minister Asquith was already waiting for him in the 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.
"Prime Minister, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. However, the situation is really urgent and there is no way to wait until tomorrow." Churchill looked apologetic.
