Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

The submarine forces of the Germanic Imperial Navy attacked the transport convoys in the strait and the Royal Navy of the Empire, although only caused the sinking of more than a dozen transport ships and merchant ships, as well as the sunken loss of a former dreadnought, several cruisers and destroyers.

Such a loss is not too serious for the Royal Navy of the Empire.

However, the impact is very large.

There are already high-ranking Royal Navy officials who believe that capital ships should not be sent into the strait, which is too dangerous.

Once these capital ships are sunk in the strait, this will cause heavy damage to the Royal Navy, which will also be very detrimental to the future decisive battle with the German Imperial Navy.

However, if the capital ships were not sent into the strait, they did not have enough firepower to suppress the train artillery units of the Germanic Imperial Army. This will make the soldiers of the Royal Navy of the Empire unable to withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force has filed a complaint with the top of the cabinet, asking the Royal Navy to do everything in its power to help them retreat.

However, the Royal Navy claimed that it would no longer send capital ships into the strait for security reasons. Each capital ship of the Royal Navy is valuable and will be used in a decisive battle against the Germanic Imperial Navy. However, they would continue to send cruisers and destroyers into the strait to escort convoys and attack the submarines of the Germans.

But such satisfaction obviously cannot satisfy the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Sets.

Without large-caliber naval guns of capital ships, they simply could not suppress the train artillery units of the Germanic Imperial Army. This will make the Imperial Expeditionary Force completely powerless to fight back in the face of the terrorist shelling of the German Imperial Army.

If this continues, they will soon be annihilated.

The sun never sets, the Imperial Army and the Royal Navy, do not give in to each other.

This made the lawsuit between them even hit the Prime Minister’s Office.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, so far, we have only transported more than 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force back. And, most of them are wounded. A large number of expeditionary force officers were still on the Normandy peninsula, waiting for rescue. If we abandon them, they will soon fall into the hands of the Germans. This will have a great impact on the empire’s next home defense! Count Kitchener said bitterly.

“The Royal Navy is not trying to give up on the rescue expeditionary force, it just doesn’t want to invest in capital ships. Every capital ship is very valuable. The Germans were frantically building warships in an attempt to challenge the Royal Navy. We cannot put the already valuable capital ships of the Royal Navy at risk.

This time, we have already lost a former dreadnought. That’s our luck. If we continue like this, resulting in us losing more capital ships, how will we defeat the Germans in the next naval battle? How to defend the security and interests of the empire itself? Once the Royal Navy is defeated, that is the biggest threat! ”

Admiralty Winston did not budge.

Prime Minister Asquith is also very troubled in the face of this problem.

If he could, he naturally hoped that the Royal Navy could go all out to rescue the entire Imperial Expeditionary Force back to the mainland.

However, if he wanted the Royal Navy to risk the capital ships, he would not want to.

The Royal Navy is the foundation of the empire that never sets! This is especially true in the face of threats and challenges from the Germanic Imperial Navy. Only if the Royal Navy continues to be strong can it ensure the security of the Empire and ensure the overseas interests of the Empire.

Especially when the war situation is very unfavorable to the Sun Never Sets Empire, the importance of the Royal Navy has become more and more prominent.

“The Royal Navy’s capital ships are indeed valuable. It is enough to protect the expeditionary force across the strait, with cruisers and destroyers! Prime Minister Asquith said.

“But, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. If the Royal Navy does not dispatch capital ships. Then, we simply cannot compete with the train artillery units of the Germans! Not only will our defenses be easily penetrated by the Germans. Even transport ships and merchant ships moored at sea would also be sunk by the Germanic cannons with train shelling. At that time, the officers and men of the expeditionary force will not be able to return. Count Kitchener looked desperate.

Prime Minister Asquith hesitated, but finally asserted his point.

Although the soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force are very important, in contrast, the Royal Navy is the most important, which is related to the survival of the Empire.

“Do your best to rescue the expeditionary force, and save as many expeditionary forces as possible!” Prime Minister Asquith said.

“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!” Winston nodded.

The Count of Kitchener was livid.

He knew that the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set Empire was probably abandoned this time. Next, it is simply impossible to rescue how many expeditionary forces come back. More soldiers of the expeditionary force will probably fall into the hands of the Germans.

If they wanted to survive, they had to surrender to the Germans.

Over the next few days, the capital ships of the Royal Navy of the Empire withdrew from the strait, leaving only a few cruisers and destroyers.

Although, these cruisers and destroyers of the Royal Navy posed a great threat to the submarines of the Germanic Imperial Navy. However, it gave hope to the train artillery units of the Germanic Imperial Army.

Many train guns went directly to the front line and, guided by reconnaissance aircraft, opened fire on the sea.

One by one, large-caliber shells smashed into the strait, splashing one high column of water after another.

Once the transport ships and merchant ships of the Sun Never Set Empire were hit, they would almost always be hit hard and even sunk.

This led to the increasing losses of transport ships and merchant ships of the empire.

Under such circumstances, the retreat efficiency of the Imperial Expeditionary Force naturally became slower and slower.

At the same time, the Germanic Imperial Army continued to attack.

Heavy artillery continued to fire, tanks and armored vehicles covered the infantry, constantly attacking.

The defense line of the Imperial Expeditionary Force that never sets is constantly being broken through.

A large number of expeditionary corps were killed or captured by the Germanic Imperial Army. The morale of the entire unit was also dealt a near-devastating blow.

But in the face of such a situation, the high-level of the Sun Never Set Empire did not say a word, without any expression, as if they had voluntarily given up.
