Chapter 150 The Confusion of the Fleet Commander

The Third Squadron of the British Royal Navy Indian Ocean Fleet is one of the few fleets that has its own independent shore base. 【】According to the level, a small squadron cannot enjoy such treatment at all.Not only that, but the rank of the officers here is also higher than that of other squadrons.

Moreover, the Third Indian Ocean Squadron of the British Royal Navy is not under the command of the Indian Ocean Fleet. Not only that, even the British Admiralty has no right to mobilize warships here.It can be said that such a powerful naval fleet is actually an independent force independent of the British defense system.

Williams will be the actual controller of this fleet, the supreme commander of the Third Fleet.Williams was not a soldier before the war, but an official of the British Treasury.Williams did not become a soldier until one day he was called into a dilapidated office of the Ministry of the Interior.

Williams nearly peed in his pants when he got the blunt, commanding call from Inside Out.For nothing else, as an official of the Ministry of Finance, Williams deeply knows the meaning of the name of the Ministry of the Interior.Basically, none of the officials who can enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs can come out of there completely.

As an official of the Treasury Department, Williams is also deeply involved in the activities of various departments of the government.Not to mention this minister and that minister are very loud, but in fact it is not they who are running those departments.It's the little-known little officials under their hands.And these small officials often have great power behind them.

The same is true of Williams' finance department. Williams knows that the people around him accept a lot of bribes from those big consortia and big families, and they often tip off those big consortia and big families.Sometimes when a new financial plan is still being discussed, those complete records have already appeared on the bedside cabinets of those big consortiums and big families.Seeing that everyone around him is living a life of debauchery like a king, Williams is quite ashamed.But Williams has always been unwilling to accept the solicitation of those big consortia and big families.The reason is that Williams is naturally timid and always feels that there will be problems one day spending those ill-gotten money.

Sure enough, as soon as the Germans tore up the peace agreement, they dispatched a large army to kick off the prelude to the war.The Ministry of the Interior of the United Kingdom then began to move its hands. Those officials who usually have economic ties with big families and large consortia were invited by the Ministry of the Interior to drink coffee one by one.Of course, those who have been hit the hardest are officials who have friendships with domestic Jewish consortiums.The coffee in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not so delicious. Those thick-bodied people in suits who don't look like office workers at all can make people think of many inappropriate scenes just by their hideous faces.So even though Williams is financially clean, he can't help but piss in horror when he receives a call from the Department of the Interior.

But things didn't turn out to be as bad as Williams was received by a well-mannered gentleman.Then give Williams a form, and then guide Williams to fill in all the content.Finally, he stood up again and said very modestly, "Congratulations, Your Excellency."

This is how Williams became an admiral.This result still felt like a dream until Williams left the Ministry of Internal Affairs.It was only later that Williams gradually found out why he changed from a bureaucrat with no military experience to an admiral overnight.

The reason lies in the Indian Ocean Third Fleet where Williams served.When he figured out that the precious metals of all the British overseas colonies were kept by himself, Williams almost urinated in his pants again.The so-called officials who deal with money all the year round, the word money is just a long string of numbers to Williams, and has no other meaning.But when he saw the neatly stacked gold that was the same as the ordinary raw materials in ordinary factory warehouses, Williams cried.

So Williams completely understood why he was lucky enough to become this so-called admiral.Before the outbreak of the war, the British economy and even the entire European economy were in the hands of the Rothschild family.It can be said that the British are actually working for the Rothschild family from top to bottom.The result of this has aroused great indignation among the old big families in the UK. These families do not want to transport all the things they have worked so hard to collect from the various colonies back to the UK and stuff them into the pockets of the Rothschild family.This so-called naval base was established only after the war started.

But there are also some conflicts among these families, and they all want their own people to be the commanders of this fleet.But they all encountered great resistance from other families.In the end, everyone decided to choose someone who had nothing to do with any party to serve as the commander of the fleet.So Williams, a small bureaucrat in the Ministry of Finance who is as innocent as a piece of letter paper, was elected by everyone.

For this reason, Williams has been very content with his duties in the future.The reason is simple, this position has 18 pounds a year in allowances alone, and it is tax-free.For Williams, who has a salary of less than 6000 pounds a year, he can earn what he could earn in the past 30 years by working here. Of course, Williams is very willing.

Besides, Williams himself is an accountant, so of course he has an irreplaceable role in how to take care of these precious metals.All these precious metals are well organized by Williams.Not only that, but even the income and expenditure of the entire Third Squadron were made clear by Williams.

At this point, Williams can be said to make the best use of everyone.But what kind of income does the army have, do they basically live on those subsidies?But in this way, the quartermaster under Williams is very poor.With such a commander who is well-versed in financial knowledge, his military supplies are full of complaints.In the two years since Williams took office, 18 people in his fleet's military supplies have requested to be transferred here.It can also be regarded as creating a record for the transfer of British quartermasters.

However, Williams is very ignorant of the military.Moreover, Williams hated taking a boat very much. Even the flagship of their fleet, the battleship Rhodes, Williams rarely went aboard.Williams handed over the affairs of the fleet to his deputy, Rear Admiral Blake, and then his flagship captain's main job every day was to settle accounts in the headquarters on the shore.Fortunately, the fleet under his jurisdiction has no combat missions.

As the time at this base got longer and longer, Williams' temper became bigger and bigger.There is no way around this. Williams hates boats, and there are boats here every day. Just listening to the horns of passing merchant ships can annoy Williams to death. In the end, Williams simply gave himself A well-sound-proof room was built for quiet bookkeeping and rest in this room.And Williams ruled that he was not allowed to wake him up at night when he was sleeping, and as time went on, this became an unacceptable rule of Third Squadron.

Williams had received orders from England three weeks earlier.The order said to make Williams more vigilant. Montgomery in Egypt had already begun to attack the German army. In order to prevent accidents, Williams was ready to transfer the goods at any time.For this reason, the United Kingdom also specially drove the Queen Mary cruise ship, which used to transport those valuable goods, to the Port of Suez.In case the Germans win, they will start transferring goods immediately.

For the past three weeks, Williams lived in fear every day. Every day, he would have nightmares, dreaming that he became a prisoner of the Germans, and the Germans robbed all the gold he guarded.

Unexpectedly, this nightmare actually happened tonight. No matter how quiet and soundproof the room was, there were gunshots and explosions outside. Of course, Williams also knew about the situation.

Williams hid under the bed in fright until his adjutant dragged him out from under the bed.There weren't many surprises about the terrified and trembling adjutant.The adjutant said, "Your Excellency, our base was attacked by a group of unknown people. They have already occupied the exit on our land. But judging from the weapons, there are not many of them."

Williams, who was still in shock, was slightly relieved when he heard that there were not many people coming.Said, "Then what should we do now." It is probably the first time in military history that a dignified general asked his adjutant what to do.

But the young adjutant said with a normal look, "Your Excellency, you should go to the command post now and give the order to destroy those enemies. Then you have to send a report to your superior."

"Okay, let's do this, wait for me to get dressed first."

In a short time, Williams will bring his adjutant to the hall of the headquarters, and then he will give an order to organize forces to destroy the enemy who came to sneak attack.However, as soon as this order was issued, the power of the headquarters stopped.And not only the headquarters, but the entire base was in darkness.Except for the machine guns that were still firing non-stop, the entire base had no light at all.

After this scene, Williams couldn't help but pee on his pants again.Williams asked the adjutant next to him in a crying tone, "What's going on, the enemy won't come over."

"Don't panic, the enemy just cut off our power supply so that our soldiers can't reach them. But something bad happened just now, and our connection with London was also cut off." Will said the adjutant.
