The British Empire, the Fog City, Downing Street.
Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, was a little overwhelmed. They seemed to have never expected that the situation would turn out like this after he became the Prime Minister of the British Empire.
The Anti-Russian Alliance seemed strong, but in fact it was already weak. Throughout the World War, it had been suppressed by the Russians. Not only that, the Anti-Russian Alliance also paid a huge price in the war. Now, there is even a possibility of losing this war.
"Gentlemen, the Russians have blockaded the Indian Peninsula. Our maritime connection with the Indian Peninsula has been completely cut off. From now on, we can no longer obtain any supplies from the Indian Peninsula. Not even a grain of food can be obtained. At the same time, we can no longer provide weapons and equipment to the troops stationed on the Indian Peninsula, and can only rely on them to be self-sufficient. The situation on the entire Indian Peninsula has reached its extreme!" Prime Minister Winston Churchill looked serious.
"Yes, Prime Minister. The situation in the Indian Peninsula is indeed very bad. The military industry there is very bad. At most, it can only repair rifles and light artillery, and produce bullets and shells for light artillery. Without our support, the combat effectiveness of the garrison there will be greatly reduced, and it will soon be unable to hold on." The Minister of War, Sir Gerry, said. 170
Winston Churchill nodded: "So, what should we do now?"
"Prime Minister, unless we can break the Russian blockade. Otherwise, this problem cannot be solved!" said Leo Emery, Minister of Indian Affairs.
"India is too important to the empire. The empire needs its resources, taxes and population. If the Russians control the Indian Peninsula, it will be an unimaginable blow to the empire!" said Sir Kingsley Wood, Minister of Finance.
"The Russians were very wise. They did not directly choose to attack the Indian Peninsula, but to blockade the Indian Peninsula. They supported the rebels to deal with the imperial army stationed in the Indian Peninsula and the army formed by the Indian Peninsula colonies themselves." Sir Greg continued.
"Aren’t there only a few hundred thousand rebels led by Chandra Bose? The imperial army stationed in the Indian Peninsula has as many as 200,000 troops. In addition, we have formed millions of indigenous troops on the Indian Peninsula. Isn’t it enough to wipe them out?" Foreign Secretary Robert Eden was a little annoyed.
"Those Indian natives hid in the mountains and received support from a large number of Indian natives. It is very difficult to wipe them out. Besides, the Indians’ fighting power is too bad. Now, they have received strong support from the Russian Empire. It is undoubtedly more difficult to annihilate them. Unless we can break the Russian blockade." Sir Greg said.
Suddenly, Winston Churchill looked at the Minister of the Navy Alexander and the First Sea Lord Sir Dudley Pound.
"Your Excellency, the Russians have assembled a lot of main fleets in the Indian Ocean. The Royal Navy alone is probably not their opponent." Sir Dudley Pound was somewhat helpless.
Once upon a time, the Royal Navy was the overlord of the sea!
But after many setbacks, even if the strength has been restored to a certain extent. However, compared with the peak state, there is still a huge gap. It is even more impossible to defeat the Russians under the current circumstances.
"Your Excellency, the Royal Navy has finally achieved the current combat power. Our shipyards have also been bombed by the Russians. This has greatly affected our shipbuilding progress. If the Royal Navy has any mistakes in this operation. Or pays a high price. Then, this will have a great impact on the security of the empire. Apart from anything else, I am afraid that even the security of the empire’s homeland cannot be guaranteed." Navy Minister Alexander reminded.
Winston (adff) Chucky frowned tightly.
He naturally wanted to defeat the Russian navy and break the blockade of the Indian Peninsula.
However, he also knew that it would be very difficult to achieve this with the strength of the British Empire’s Royal Navy alone. If things go wrong, it will end in failure and suffer heavy losses. In that case, the gains will not outweigh the losses.
In the Far East Sea Battle, the Lighthouse Navy and the Eastern Empire Navy joined forces, but were also defeated by the Russians? That is a lesson for us!
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Russians not only blockaded the Indian Peninsula, but also mobilized troops to attack Africa. This has seriously threatened the interests of the empire. It has even seriously affected the foundation of the empire. We must take tough measures to fight back. Even if the Royal Navy may not be as strong as the Russians, we can seek help from our allies! The Third Reich Navy has also restored a certain strength. The strength of the Lighthouse Navy is even stronger. If we join forces, our chances of winning will also be great!" Baron Walter Guinness, the Minister of Colonies, suggested. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"This is a good idea. The strength of the Lighthouse Navy is still amazing. If we join forces, we will have a great chance of defeating the Russian Navy!" Winston Chukir nodded repeatedly.
You know, the Lighthouse Navy has already put 12 Essex-class aircraft carriers and 12 Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers into service. If you add the aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the British Empire and the aircraft carriers of the Third Reich. Then, they are definitely stronger than the Russians in terms of aircraft carriers.
And, in terms of carrier-based aircraft, they have also completed the equipment of the latest carrier-based aircraft. This has further enhanced their strength.
As long as the luck is not too bad, defeating the Russian Navy is a high probability event.
"Then, we urgently contacted the Third Reich and the Lighthouse, seek their support! This is not just a fight for the empire, but also a fight for the entire anti-Russian alliance. If we can eat up the Russian navy. Then, our next battle will undoubtedly be much easier. "Winston Churchill said.
"Yes, Prime Minister!" First Sea Lord Sir Dudley Pound replied.
If possible, they certainly want to defeat the Russian navy..
