Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Excellency Minister, the Prime Minister’s Office has called and asked you to come right away.” The secretary reported.

Winston couldn’t help but frown: “I bet His Excellency the Prime Minister must have asked about the sinking of the transport fleet by the Germans.” On the Royal Navy’s side, come up with a solution as soon as possible! ”

“Yes, Your Excellency!” The commander of the navy, Marshal William May, and the chief of staff, Admiral Hedworth Moox, both answered.

Winston then drove to the Prime Minister’s Office.

The Prime Minister’s Office, the Admiralty and other departments of the Empire are not far apart, and they are actually on a street. This street, also known as Whitehall, is comparable to the White Palace of Lighthouse Country.

By the time Winston arrived at the Prime Minister’s Office, the other cabinet ministers had already arrived.

The faces of the Minister of War, Count Kitchener, and the Minister of the Exchequer, Lloyd George, were very ugly.

Winston knew that it was definitely because of the sinking of the transport fleet.

“Your Excellency, Prime Ministers!” Winston greeted everyone.

“Your Excellency Lord Admiralty, what the hell is going on? Why exactly is the D7 transport fleet doing? Do you know how much cargo the D7 convoy carries? There was food urgently needed by the soldiers of the expeditionary force, as well as cotton and other materials for making cotton clothes. Now that the entire transport fleet of D7 has been sunk, there will be big problems with our supplies! Count Kitchener looked angry.

“Your Excellency, the Royal Navy has done its best. We were ambushed by the submarine forces of the vile and impudent Germans. They ambushed at least a dozen submarines and ambushed our convoy on a dark and windy night. The sailors of the Royal Navy tried their best and could not defeat them. Winston retorted.

“Are you going to starve the soldiers of the expeditionary force? Let them not have enough cotton clothes and be frozen alive? Count Kitchener glared angrily.

“Your Excellency, I don’t want that either. But clearly, this is not our problem. Our intelligence leaked, and the damned Germans got to grips with the whereabouts of our transport fleet. That’s why they sent a large number of submarines to gather in front of us and wait for our convoy to ambush us. We must solve this problem at the root and prevent our intelligence from leaking again. Winston said.

“The intelligence department must thoroughly investigate this and prevent this from happening again in the future!” Prime Minister Asquith spoke.

“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” The head of the intelligence department quickly answered.

“Beyond that, the Royal Navy is also trying. We decided to send more escort warships to protect the convoy. In addition, the Navy is developing weapons specifically designed to deal with Germanic submarines. At present, breakthrough results have been achieved. It is expected that the troops will soon be able to be equipped. At that time, the Germanic submarines will have nowhere to hide. Once their submarine is found by us, it will be vulnerable and will easily be killed by us! Winston said exuberantly.

It was as if the Royal Navy could really easily destroy the submarines of the Germanic Empire.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded, satisfied with the Royal Navy’s plan.

“When will the Royal Navy be able to fight a decisive battle with the Germanic navy? If it were possible to destroy the main naval forces of the Germans in a decisive battle at sea. Then they will no longer pose a threat to us. At the same time, we desperately need a victory to lift people’s hearts. The defeat of the expeditionary force has already made the population doubt the victory. It would be best if the Royal Navy could win a victory! Prime Minister Asquith asked.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Royal Navy also hopes to fight a decisive battle with the Germans as soon as possible and destroy their main naval force in one fell swoop. However, the Germans have always been hiding in the Baltic Sea. They laid mines in several major straits that we simply could not break into. In addition, the Baltic Sea was too narrow, and the Germans deployed a large number of coastal defense guns there. If we rush into it, we won’t be able to take advantage of it at all.

Therefore, we can only wait for the Germans to come out of the Baltic and take the initiative to start a war with us. Otherwise, we can’t take them at all.

However, the Royal Navy continued to blockade the Germanic Empire. Their sea transport lines have been cut by us. Unless they don’t want to reopen the sea transport lines. Otherwise, they will have to fight us in a decisive battle at sea. Only by defeating us will they be able to break the blockade of them by the Royal Navy. Other than that, they simply don’t have any other option! ”

Winston looked a little helpless.

Although he is very confident in the Royal Navy, the Royal Navy can’t enter the Baltic Sea, right? In that case, the variables are too great.

And the Royal Navy can be called the foundation of the empire that never sets, and naturally cannot be used for adventure.

Once the Royal Navy has any three long and two short, then the Sun Never Sets Empire is the real danger.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I do not think that there is a hurry at this time for the decisive battle with the Germanic navy. Isn’t the Royal Navy also building new capital ships on a large scale? The Germans are not in a hurry, and naturally we do not have to rush either. The most important issue at the moment is the safety of the transport fleet. This is directly related to the stability of the empire itself.

If the Germans were allowed to continue attacking our convoys, there would be a shortage of supplies on the mainland. Even social stability can be a big problem! ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded, he naturally knew about the problem.

“The Navy is already figuring it out. However, it takes time. Is there any other way? Prime Minister Asquith asked.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we may be able to hire a convoy from the Lighthouse Nation. The Lighthouse Nation has a large number of merchant ships that allow them to transport supplies for us. The Germans may not dare to attack the convoys of the Lighthouse Nation. If they really do that, they will inevitably offend the Beacon Nation. Even, further pushing the lighthouse nation to our side. If they don’t dare, then we’ve got a stop to them. Foreign Secretary Edward Grey said.

Prime Minister Asquith’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“It’s a good idea to hire a convoy from the Lighthouse Country directly to transport supplies for us. In this case, I would like the Germans to attack the convoy of the Lighthouse Country. Prime Minister Asquith said with a smile.
