With the advent of the 20 th century, Europe and the United States were not as happy as New China.The European war became uncertain because of the entry of the new China.Germany and Austria-Hungary withdrew from the peace talks one after another, putting on a posture of stubborn resistance to the end.Britain, France, and the United States were so angry that they were all ready to redivide the interests of the world and quickly recover the losses of the war.However, as soon as New China was so mixed, they focused their spearhead on New China, and did not dare to push Germany and Austria-Hungary too hard for the time being.In the aftermath of the war, countries were in the midst of intense reconstruction.But no one knew when the next war would break out, and all of Europe, even the Americas, looked like people were in a state of panic.The President of the United States has declared war on New China, but it has been a verbal declaration of war.The navy of the Huaxing Army patrolled the Pacific Ocean day and night, and did not even see the shadow of the United States.It is no wonder that the United States has broken its promise, and their navy has only more than 200 warships.More than 100 ships have been sunk by the Huaxing Army in the Atlantic, and where will the remaining 100 or so ships be the opponent of the Huaxing Army.The top level of the United States naturally understands the gap between them and the Huaxing Army, and the strength of the United States at this time is far less powerful than Qiao Zhiqing's time and space.In Qiao Zhiqing's time and space, the United States started by World War I.During the war, it made money in arms, and after the war, it became a creditor country in Europe.Now that World War I has been disrupted by the Huaxing Army, the benefits obtained by the United States are far less than the original investment.Now the domestic military and economy are far inferior to New China, and they dare to shout for war.The Huaxing Army successfully landed in Egypt and has completed the first phase of its war plan against Europe.The two gates of the conquest of Europe have been opened, and the major military regions in the south of the Yangtze River are intensively preparing for war.Each converged on their intended seaports and prepared to rush to Europe to fight.The Nanjing Military Region, the Chengdu Military Region, and the Guangzhou Military Region each sent more than 300,000 troops, with Wu Xuming as the commander-in-chief of the army, and personally went to South Africa to direct the second-phase battle.Because of the peculiarities of British geography, the second phase of the Ministry of Defense was to fight against Britain.As long as the navy blocked the English Channel, reinforcements from the European continent would not be able to cross the sea, and the British army would be completely alone.By this time, the European continent had been crippled.They just have the heart to help, but they don't have the strength.Qiao Zhiqing made a leather whip and practiced his bad taste in the study every day.The ladies happened to see him a few times, and everyone was full of contempt for him.News has just come from Britain that Queen Victoria has died of depression after losing her life in South Africa and Egypt.Qiao Zhi settled the time, and the queen had left a year earlier.In his time, he still lived an extra year because of his heart.Now the king of England has been replaced by Edward VII, and Qiao Zhiqing has no such bad taste for men.He has practiced for so many days and it is not in vain, even if the queen is dead, there are still many princesses and ladies in the royal family who can come to practice.King Edward VII of England had just ascended the throne, and if he wanted to know Qiao Zhiqing's idea, he would probably vomit blood immediately.Before the war, it was not without a little warning.Britain has withdrawn its embassy, but it still judged the next move of Huaxing Army through its own spy network and the actions of Huaxingjun.As soon as Edward VII ascended the throne, he called on the people to defend their land and prepare for the attack of the Eastern Demons.He knew that Britain had offended New China at the beginning, and now that New China is strong, it will definitely retaliate against Britain.This battle was inevitable, and no matter how difficult it was for Britain at this time, he had no intention of giving in to New China.The British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, agreed with Edward VII, who was an aristocratic politician with a discerning eye and knew what their purpose was from the performance of the Hua Xingjun.Salisbury originally wanted to fight to regain lost ground in Asia, but he did not expect to be implicated in European affairs.Britain is a mess up and down, and its economy is on the verge of collapse after five or six years of war.When he was about to retire, he encountered this powerful enemy, which made him gray overnight.Britain has not been beaten to its home territory for hundreds of years, and has long forgotten how to defend when fighting on its own soil.Salisbury has convened a meeting of the generals day and night, and has yet to come up with a defensive strategy.On the first day of the new century, Edward VII gathered all the high-ranking generals and listened to their defense strategies.The generals in the council hall all looked sad, and even Field Marshal John Denton Pinkestone French and Admiral John Jericho also pulled their faces and were full of seriousness.These generals are all powerful people who have just commanded the Great War in Europe and have been trained in the flames of war.Now in the face of the coercion of New China, I am also a little breathless."
Prime Minister Salisbury, let's start the meeting" After Edward VII sat down in the council hall, he looked around at the generals, and his face suddenly fell.The British royal family still has a lot of power at this time, has a lot of say in the country, and usually represents the will of the country.Before the battle was fought, these generals were sad, and Edward VII lost confidence when he saw it."
Your Majesty, if the Huaxing army attacks the British.Our people will certainly defend their motherland to the death, and the enemy, though strong, is far from being invincible.Although there is a big difference in the strength of the navies of our two countries, there is not much difference in the weapons equipped by the armies, except for armored vehicles.I believe that as long as we are determined to resist the war, we will definitely be able to defeat the invaders" Salisbury saw that Edward VII's mood was not right, and quickly summoned up his courage and said some big and empty words, which encouraged the atmosphere.It's a bit strange to say this, Britain has always invaded others, and now it has been invaded by others."
Your Majesty the King put down, defend the land and protect the home, we will never let the enemy invade a step" The generals also replied aloud, the atmosphere was much more enthusiastic than just now, the tight skin on Edward VII's face finally relaxed, and he spat out in a muffled voice, "Let's talk about the specific strategy" Salisbury and the Marshal of the Sea and Land looked at each other, and Marshal Jericho of the Navy took the lead in speaking, "Your Majesty, we must admit something.After the First World War in Europe, our naval strength was greatly reduced.Moreover, the naval strength of the Huaxing Army is strong, and we are indeed quite far behind them.But the Huaxing Army is not without weaknesses at all, they fight from a distance, and logistics supply is a big problem.Therefore, our navy is ready to avoid the enemy's edge and not confront the navy of the Huaxing Army head-on.After they landed, wait for an opportunity to attack their sea supply lines.Only in this way can we fight against the Huaxing army.If it's a head-on confrontation, we shouldn't have a chance to win. ”As soon as Jericho's words fell, the generals immediately discussed.Edward VII was a little aggrieved when he heard this, and the navy obviously wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head
