Chapter 1151: Total blockade

"Lost, the Royal Navy is over."
I don't know who shouted in the port, and the whole port suddenly fell into hysterical cries.
But they still couldn't stop the British navy from being completely annihilated with grief. The last British warship was turned into a sea of ​​flames in the shelling before the darkness covered the earth.
On the King-class ironclad ship, Liu Chen and Xie Yuan smiled triumphantly. Today they finally let out a bad breath.
But their mission is not over yet, but has just begun.
Liu Chen said: "The emperor asked us to block Britain. From now on, we will control all routes to Britain and prohibit all non-imperial ships from passing through."
Xie Yuan nodded. He said: "In this case, you and I will be divided into two directions, one in the east and one in the west. We will destroy other British ports while the blockade is on."
Liu Chen nodded after hearing this.
The next day.
When the sun rose, the British in London discovered that all the warships of the Empire had disappeared overnight, and a strange atmosphere immediately enveloped London, and various speculations circulated in the streets.
Many people believe that the Imperial warships chose to evacuate after destroying the British fleet, and some merchants even prepared to set sail again for maritime trade.
But the bad news soon came. Some armed merchant ships trying to go to sea were sunk by Imperial warships patrolling the route. At this time, the British finally remembered that the Imperial Navy blocked the British waters.
News from all parts of the UK in the following time confirmed this fact. Imperial warships continued to attack British cities along the coast, sinking any merchant ships going to sea. ‘
The entire United Kingdom now seems to be locked in a cage, and this has plunged Britain into panic. When the British industry is booming and developing, the British economy mainly comes from the plunder of the colonies and dumping of domestic industrial products.
It can be said that Britain's strength is based on the establishment of a vast colony and overseas trade. Now the two lifelines of Britain have been cut off. It will not take long before Britain will become a country that does not enter the country.
Compared to the panic of the British, the British aristocracy was even more unbearable. They gathered a large army and mobilized the whole people to prepare to fight the empire on land.
However, the empire did not follow the routines at all. Now this huge army suddenly became a burden. It would be a heavy burden for the current British government to support so many soldiers without fighting.
After all, commerce is cut off, and the British mainland simply cannot feed so many troops.
"Murphy, you can't disband my army, the war has just begun, and no one can guarantee that the empire will land."
In the House, when Murphy proposed to cut off part of the army, Butrin enthusiastically opposed it.
"I did not say now, but that if the blockade continues, we will have to make this decision. Think about it. Over the past two centuries, overseas colonies have fed the 20 million British people in Britain. In fact, they rely on the British. The land simply cannot feed so many people. Once there is a shortage of food, no one can guarantee what the UK will encounter next." Murphy's tone was deeply helpless.
The members were silent, the Royal Navy was all over, and they were unable to lift the imperial blockade of the British coast.
Butrin's face flushed red, but he knew that his army could not fight at sea.
"We have already lost this war. Britain without the navy is no more than a sloping duck. Without the oceans and overseas colonies, Britain will fall into decline. Even if the empire withdraws its troops in the future, the declining Britain will surely be lost to other European countries. Bullying, in this case, we might as well ask the empire for forgiveness, money, land, market, what they want, we will give what, as long as we can survive in Britain." a member of the council shouted loudly.
"Shameless!"
"Throw him out!"
"..."
The voice of this congressman fell, and the whole House was like boiling water. Members yelled and cursed. The conditions mentioned by this person deeply hurt them, because this is their policy towards the colony.
However, some MPs chose to support this vocal MP because, in their view, they are now facing the survival problem of Britain.
Murphy's mood now is also very tangled. The most important problem he faces is the twenty million mouths on this island.
The prosperity of industry has allowed British businessmen to circle a lot of farming land, and at the same time a large number of farmers have entered urban factories to work, which makes British agriculture very vulnerable now.
If it wants to feed so many people, Britain can only destroy industry and return to the era of an agricultural country.
"Quiet! It's not the time for internal fighting." Murphy shouted, "Your Majesty and Brook are already in Moscow. If your Majesty is ready to do something diplomatically, he will definitely send personnel to contact the Empire. Now we just have to wait. ."
After hearing this, everyone stopped arguing, facing an uncertain future, they could only continue to wait.
Qingzhou.
The news of the London naval battle arrived here three months later. As soon as the news was published in the newspaper, the people of the entire empire were boiling.
For them, this time they finally paid back the humiliation they had endured.
"The emperor, in the first battle in London, Britain will no longer be able to make waves on the sea, and take this opportunity to take the British colony in South America as soon as possible."
In the imperial study room, Pang Yukun said excitedly.
Cui Shangan said: "It is really difficult to block the 60 warships in the British coastal area. Liu Chen also mentioned that it is impossible to completely prevent British ships from going to sea. The next official suggested that the military factory produce a batch of mines to Europe as soon as possible, and use this to block seas."
Xiao Ming nodded when he heard the words.
With the improvement of the imperial industry ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the imperial military system is also becoming more and more perfect, and various weapons have specialized research laboratories.
There are mines, and naturally there are mines. Three months ago, the Empire’s contact mine experiment was successful, which means that the Empire’s navy will have the ability to mine and block ports.
And this greatly reduces the heavy task of warships.
"Mine mines are good things. You urge the military factories to produce them as soon as possible. If you want the British to succumb to this time, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it within a year or a half." Xiao Ming said.
After a pause, he continued: "Except for mines, the production of tanks and military vehicles cannot be slackened. For the imperial army, mechanization will be the next goal."
Cui Shangan was excited when he heard this, he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep as long as he thought of the future battles of the empire's large group of tanks, so he responded loudly.
Pang Yukun said: "The surrender of Britain will happen sooner or later. The old minister has already thought of the conditions to be put forward after the surrender of the United Kingdom. Doesn't Britain want to steal the technology of the empire? Then the empire will completely abolish Britain's industrial capacity this time and prohibit They study weapons and use them as sheep to raise sheep."
