Chapter 1129: Post-war impact

In the wee hours of the morning, the temporary residence of the British government in the air-raid shelter was still brightly lit.
It was another sleepless night, and the smoke from the bombing during the day had just dissipated, and another bad news came.
The British and Japanese forces were defeated in a naval battle, and even the flagship was sunk. The life and death of the fleet commander, Admiral Michel, is now unknown.
Upon receiving this news, everyone's first reaction was: "Just kidding." The Far East Fleet alone can suppress the Nanyang Fleet. How could the British and Japanese forces lose?
Unfortunately, after repeated verifications, it proved that this is reality, not a prank.
Forced to accept this reality, Prime Minister Campbell's three views have all been subverted. It turns out that the Royal Navy is no longer invincible.
With this recognition, Campbell's whole person is not good. What will this war do if the Royal Navy can't live there?
The most daunting was the Secretary of the Navy Swinding. Although the battle report on the front line stated clearly, the reason for the failure of the war was attributed to: the enemy's air force participated in the war.
As for the aircraft carrier, it has always been hiding in the rear, and it has not been exposed from the beginning to the end. Anyway, the aircraft is bombing, and the British warships participating in the war naturally can't distinguish the difference.
War is cruel. If you lose, you lose. No matter how many reasons you have, you cannot change the fact that the war failed.
Just look at the current office location of the cabinet government to see how powerful the enemy’s air force is. But as long as there is a slight way, they will not fall to this point.
After a brief eye contact, the room quickly fell silent, and everyone was in a state of confusion.
Quite a bit: the feeling of "suppressing you and me under the tree".
After a cup of coffee, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Adam broke the silence first: "The failure of the Malacca naval battle has had a very bad impact on the overall strategy of the empire.
I am not very clear about the military issues, but the diplomatic troubles are absolutely devastating.
The enemy will not let go, perhaps tonight, or tomorrow, the news will spread all over the world.
Our gang of allies who are not firm in their positions will probably be making trouble again. To appease them, the empire must pay a greater price.
The best way to solve the problem is to prove that we have the strength to win the war, otherwise it will be difficult for them to do their best. "
The empty glove white wolf is used to playing tricks, now Adam is obviously a little unaccustomed to show tangible benefits.
However, the cruel reality is in front of us, the era of pure flickering has passed, and now everyone has learned fine. No matter how big the cake is, it can't satisfy your hunger.
Even if you can't eat the pie for a while, you should at least let everyone smell the scent, or else they won't help!
Secretary of the Navy Swinding: "According to the information from the front lines, this defeat was mainly due to the enemy's ambush. The air force and submarines, which were previously ignored by us, have now become the enemy's magic weapon for surprising victory.
The same trick is only effective for the first time, as long as we have preparedness, the situation is very different.
However, we must face up to the role of the air force in naval warfare. I propose to set up Hainan Airlines to specifically respond to the enemy's air force threat. "
The previous content was okay. After hearing the proposal to "form HNA", Air Force Secretary Attilio immediately couldn't sit still.
If the navy has HNA, should the army also have army aviation? The army and the navy have their own aviation forces, so what does the air force do?
When it comes to the living space of the Air Force, Attilio must fight hard.
"No, the Navy and the Air Force are both highly specialized services. Focusing on one side is the best choice. Taking the two together will only end up with four differences."
Swinding shook his head: "But your air force can't bear such a heavy responsibility now, and even the safety of London cannot be guaranteed. How can you ensure that the enemy air force is defeated?"
It's not that he wants to grab the squad to seize power, but the performance of the British Air Force is too weak. Since you can't count on it, you can only do it yourself.
Although the Royal Navy does not have a complete air force, there are still a lot of reconnaissance aircraft, and even a small number of fighters and bombers.
To expand, it is an air force. Don’t ask for how powerful it is, as long as it can hold the enemy air force during naval battles.
After all, the English Channel is only a short distance away. If the enemy forces a landing, the Royal Navy can only fight within the coverage of the enemy's air force.
Attilio rolled his eyes with disdain: "Our Air Force can't do it, can we just form HNA?
The Holy Roman Empire is the world’s largest air force, and the air force is at least twice our size. How can it compete with them without thousands of fighters?
Do you have enough pilots or enough crew? Do you think you can just find a few people to do these jobs? "
The personnel is a misfortune, this thing is not to say that you can have it. Although there are many aviation clubs in Britain, they are all very small.
Even in the 21st century, airplanes are toys for a few people, let alone now, except for a few local tyrants, who can afford to play?
However, these second generations who can afford to play are very rare, both rich and expensive, willing to go to the battlefield to sell their lives.
These rare feathers have long been included in the air force, and even the crew members have been requisitioned, including the pilots and aircrews of civil airlines, which are now forcibly annexed by the air force.
Even so, the British Air Force still felt strenuous when defending London.
Seeing signs of escalation in the quarrel, Campbell interrupted: "Stop arguing. At this stage, what we need is to help each other in the same boat.
If the Navy wants to form HNA, then the personnel problem must be solved by itself.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicates with allies as much as possible to see if it can support a group of pilots first, including aircraft production. "
It can be seen that Campbell is really tired, and now he doesn't even want to say a word.
Since the start of the London bombing, he has not had a good night's sleep. He wanted to take a good rest today, but he caught up with this thing again.
...
It is not only the British government who has been sleepless all night, but also the European politicians who received the news from the Vienna government.
Only European countries as neighbors can truly understand the power of the Holy Roman Empire.
From the beginning of the bombing of the British Isles, everyone was confident that the Holy Roman Empire won the war, but the turning point of the war came too soon.
We must know that less than a week after the outbreak of the war, the arrogant British Empire was in trouble, which is indeed a bit unexpected.
The biggest impact is the Russian Empire. Unlike the small European countries where no one is the boss, Russia is also one of the dominant competitors.
It's just that the eyes fell into a disadvantage, unable to compete with Britain and Shenluo, but as the world's third largest, the Russian Empire has never given up its ambitions.
The tsarist government, which originally expected to make a profit in the battle for the boss and the second child, suddenly found that its allies were actually hanging up.
The Nanyang Fleet defeated the British-Japanese Joint Fleet, and the apparently unscientific thing happened so grandly, and it was achieved at a small price.
Whether or not to go south now has become a difficult problem that the tsarist government has to make a decision. This worries Nicholas II.
Secretary of the Navy Leonid: "The situation has changed too fast. Facts have proved that the British are strong in the outside world. They have the title of world hegemon, but they have no matching strength.
The Royal Navy may not be as powerful as we thought. For the benefit of the empire, the southward strategy must be launched as soon as possible.
When necessary, we can give up the Far East first. Time does not wait for me. If we do not enter India as soon as possible, resulting in established facts, if we really wait for the outcome of the war, I am afraid that we will have nothing to do. "
It is not surprising that the navy wants to go south. Russia lacks high-quality outlets. Although Constantinople is good, it is under the nose of the Holy Roman Empire.
What's more, the Mediterranean has become the inner sea of ​​Shenluo, and obviously there is no opportunity for the Russian navy to use it. Even if they were reluctant to move in, there was no benefit to them.
The same goes for the Baltic Sea. Not only is there a strong Nordic Confederation at the door, it also faces the two great powers of Shenluo and Britain.
Sharing a slice of the pie is already the limit, and it is impossible to achieve regional hegemony.
The choices are the Subcontinent and the Far East. The terrain and climate of the remote East are severely restricted, and it is difficult to communicate with the mainland. Even with the Siberian Railway, it has not changed.
In contrast, the subcontinent is much better. It is not only rich, but also easy to rule. It is the best colony in the world.
Minister of the Interior Vyacheslav: "The strategy of eastward advancement has been carried out to the present stage. Victory is about to be won, and we cannot give up lightly.
The strategy of going south now looks good, but it is also difficult. Not to mention the strength of the British in India is not weak, and the allies can not pass.
With so many member states in the Continental Alliance, who doesn't want to take a share in the past, why should we monopolize it?
Even if it really wins, I am afraid that most of it will be spit out after the war. It really belongs to our interests, and it may not be the richness of defeating the Japanese.
There is another important factor that we have to consider. Given the importance of India to Britain, I am afraid that when we have entered India, the British government will surrender.
Without the British restraint, why can we control India before the Holy Roman Empire? "
This deer in India is too fat, and everyone wants to get a piece of meat. The Russians are drooling, and the other member states of the Continental Alliance are no exception.
If the Russian Empire really swallows India, it will soon fall into public criticism. If you don't want to be beaten up by the society, you have to vomit it sooner or later.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Mikhailovich: "The Marquis is right. We must be cautious on the issue of going south.
Even if you really decide to go south, it is best to communicate with the Vienna government first and divide your interests in advance.
Our family alone has not swallowed the strength of the Indian subcontinent. Blindly deliver it to your mouth, it is likely to be choked. "
