Germany The capital Berlin, in the palace, Imperial Council is being held.
"Everyone, are the preparations for the attack on Britain completed?" Oscar asked. For the German Empire, launching an attack on British mainland has become a top priority right now.
"Your Majesty, preparations have basically been completed. All the troops participating in the war have arrived at the predetermined area to assemble and stand by. All the combat materials needed for the war have also arrived at the French port. As soon as the order is issued, we can immediately launch an attack on British mainland!" Minister of War and Chief of Staff von? Falkenhayn reported.
For this battle, German Army has been carefully preparing for a long time. German Navy completely trampled the arrogant British Royal Navy under his feet. But this time, German Army will sweep across British mainland and completely defeat the Britain people.
"Where are the navy's escort warships, artillery fleet and transport fleet? Are they all in place?" Oscar asked.
"Your Majesty, the navy is ready. This time, we will provide all support to the army!" Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord reported.
Oscar nodded. "Then, the attack on British mainland will be scheduled in a week! I hope that the operation against Britain will be completed within three months. In this case, the soldiers can go home and live Christmas."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone replied.
None of them thought it was impossible for Oscar to defeat Britain within three months. After all, although the Britain people are crazy about armed forces in the country, according to the intelligence obtained by Germany, the scale of the British Army, if it snowballs, gets bigger and bigger, and now there are more than four million people. However, in the eyes of the German Army's generals, they were just a group of rabble without training and lacking weapons and equipment. Once such a rabble goes to the battlefield, it will be easily defeated. It is foreseeable that on the battlefield, many, many people will surrender to the German Army.
This made Germany's senior officials believe that it would be very easy for nearly one million Imperial Army from four legions to sweep British mainland. It may not even take three months to defeat the Britain people and end the war.
Of course, the reason why Oscar set such a deadline is because it is already August, and in three months, the weather will be very cold. If the war is delayed until winter, not only will the casualties of the troops increase, but the logistics pressure will also be very high. After all, to ensure that millions of troops fight in the cold winter, the logistical supplies required are undoubtedly huge.
"Your Majesty, Empire Expeditionary Fleet defeated Island Nation Navy's Combined Fleet a few hours ago. We sunk in total Island Nation Navy, 19 Capital Ships, 8 Armored Cruiser, 13 Protected Cruiser and more than twenty destroyers," Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz continued to report.
"Oh? Such a big result?" Oscar never expected that Expeditionary Fleet would achieve such a big result.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Island Nation Navy's main force can be regarded as being eliminated by us in this battle. What to do next, please give Your Majesty the order." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
In the memory of Oscar, Island Nation Navy is still very powerful. At least in the early stage of World War II in another time and space, the Island Nation people on Pacific Ocean defeated Americans in a panic. If Americans's industrial strength was not much stronger than Island Nation, it would undoubtedly be difficult to say who would win Pacific War's victory.
However, this time and space, this period of Island Nation Navy, is not strong. At least compared to German Navy who defeated British Royal Navy, the gap is very big. Except for the four 'Kongo-class' Battlecruiser, there are no decent Capital Ships at all. The nine Capital Shipss of German Expeditionary Fleet are all the latest Battlecruiser. With its huge performance advantage, defeating Island Nation Navy is not a piece of cake.
"Are our casualties high?" Oscar asked.
"Your Majesty, Empire Expeditionary Fleet lost one Light Cruiser, and the number 'Moltke' Battlecruiser was hit by one Torpedo and suffered a slight injury." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
Oscar nodded, in this case, the loss is within the acceptable range.
"Count, Imperial Navy once again achieved a great victory!" Falkenhayn looked envious.
According to Oscar's plan, the Army does not need to be dispatched for the time being against Island Nation. Therefore, this makes Falkenhayn very envious that the Navy has won another great victory.
"This is mainly because the opponent is too weak. Otherwise, we would never have won so easily!" Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said disdainfully.
"Everyone, although the Island Nation people were defeated by us this time, their combat power should not be underestimated. We have eliminated the main force of their navy this time, which can be regarded as a deadly feud with them. Therefore, we must be prepared!" Oscar reminded.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers all replied.
"Regarding the issue of Island Nation, you can contact them after their Combined Fleet is eliminated. If they are willing to return the colonies and Southeast Asia belonging to the Empire If 's colony is compensated to a certain extent, then Empire will let them go this time. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Bernhardt von Bülow and Foreign Minister von Kidron Wachth nodded. The army has won great victories on the battlefield. Then, it depends on them next.
Neither Prime Minister Bülow nor Foreign Minister Wachth believed that the Island Nation people could continue to fight against the German Empire after the navy's disastrous defeat. Because they no longer have the capital to fight.
However, Oscar doesn't think so. Island Nation people are famous for their stubbornness. At the same time, they are also notorious for their greed. Southeast Asia's wealth is enough to make Island Nation people forget all dangers.
"If the Island Nation people still refuse the Empire's Conditions, then let Expeditionary Fleet continue to launch attacks and blow all Island Nation's coastal cities into rubble. Let them pay the price for what they have done!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Count Tirpitz, the First Sea Lord said without hesitation.
Prime Minister Bülow and Foreign Minister Wachth were hesitant. They wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing.
Oscar knows what they mean, it is nothing more than the large-scale killing of civilians, which will have a bad impact. However, Oscar doesn't care. In other words, in his heart, he did not regard Island Nation people as human beings at all.
