"What? Gibraltar was attacked?" Winston heard the news and sat down on the sofa.

Ever since the last Royal Navy fleet of the British Empire was annihilated, he knew that the Ming army would attack Gibraltar.

He didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

What makes him even more helpless is that as Prime Minister, he can do nothing about Gibraltar.

Without the navy, it would be impossible for the British Empire to send troops abroad.

Once those passenger ships transporting soldiers left the port, they would become targets of the Ming Navy.

A single round of artillery fire can send the soldiers of the British Empire into the rough seabed of the Atlantic Ocean.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we must do something. Otherwise, we will never be able to defend Gibraltar." War Secretary Haig is an old-fashioned man. The war in his mind is still stuck in thirty years ago, when everyone lined up to shoot each other.

No one wanted to use him originally, but there was no way. The British Empire had lost too many generals in Russia, so it had to recruit some old guys to make up the numbers.

Haig Douglas was very angry at Winston's failure to provide timely help to Gibraltar.

"General Haig, how are we going to support those soldiers? Let our troops swim across?

The Ming army has occupied the ocean, and our army cannot go out or withdraw.

Gibraltar will fall sooner or later! Sooner or later!" Winston roared crazily.

Two years! He has been Prime Minister for two years. Ever since he took over this mess from Prime Minister Chamberlain two years ago, Winston knew that such a day would come.

The Ming Dynasty people called, and they began to attack Gibraltar. But they themselves were helpless and powerless.

At this time, he felt weak as never before. His own weakness and the weakness of the British Empire!

Seeing the Prime Minister's filial piety in such a state of affairs, Haig didn't know what to do.

They have never seen the Prime Minister, who was born in a noble family and has always been gentle and elegant, act so rude.

"Gibraltar will fall sooner or later. This is indisputable. However, we can choose how to fall.

In other words, we are now thinking about how to bring more young men back to England alive." Admiralty Neville said.

"Be clear, what do you mean?" Winston asked, looking at Neville.

"I mean, should we also consider surrendering? France surrendered, and they saved Paris. If we surrendered, we would lose Gibraltar, but we could bring the boys back alive.

Also, our capital London will not suffer losses. This is..."

"Neville! You hypocritical and cowardly old guy, old bastard.

You traitor, you should be hanged in the Tower of London. Bastard, you are a bastard." Before Neville could finish his words, the old Haig.\nDouglas exploded.

He frantically grabbed the thing at hand and threw it at Neville.

He kept cursing loudly, and even Winston tried to stop him to no avail. No one thought that such a skinny old man could actually contain such great power in his body.

"Neville, if you dare to say such things again, I will lead my troops into your home right now and hang you.

No, I'm going to cut off your head and use it as a ball." Haig.\n Douglas looked crazy, and Neville was helpless.

He did not expect that his words would cause such a huge outburst from General Haig.

Neville helplessly hid behind Winston, and the navy was almost completely destroyed. There were not many of his men left!

But Haig was now War Secretary and had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command to defend London.

If he is determined to kill himself, to be honest, not even Prime Minister Winston can stop him.

The meeting was forced to terminate!

The attendees dispersed, with Haig being the last to leave. Winston was really afraid that if Haig was the first to go out, he would immediately order Neville to be killed.

Early the next morning, Londoners were doing the same thing as countless mornings before. After getting up, they warmed up some bread and took a bottle of milk.

The men drank milk and ate bread, while the women were busy doing housework inside and outside.

London is known as the foggy city, and today is no exception. It's just that the fog in London is not that big today, but the fog on the sea is not.

Two people who were fishing in a small boat were the first to notice something was wrong.

There seemed to be some kind of monster hidden in the thick fog on the sea. There was an inexplicable fear echoing on the sea, and there were also terrifying sounds that seemed to be there but not at all.

The two people didn't know what to say, so they could only paddle into the Thames River. After all, it was much more peaceful than the Atlantic Ocean.

A battleship as tall as a mountain suddenly jumped out of the thick fog. The tall hull was as high as ten stories high. Seeing the huge battleship rolling over like a mountain, the two fishermen were dumbfounded.

They stared straight at the approaching warship and even forgot about escaping in a small boat.

They watched helplessly as the battleship ran over the small boat, directly turning their ship and them into pieces.

At eight o'clock, the sun came out and the fog gradually dispersed!

More and more people ran to the Thames River, because a large group of huge warships appeared not far from the entrance of the Thames River.

English soldiers were immediately on high alert, preparing to counterattack any landing operation that might occur at any time.

But the Ming army had no plan for a landing operation because they were a navy and did not have a marine establishment.

They had split into two families a few years ago, and since then they have been strangers in the world, and no one can make them unite as a whole.

Especially today, in these years when military expenditures are particularly tight.

If the Navy needs more money to buy warships, other branches of the military will have to tighten their belts to get by.

There is no way around this!

Under the sunshine, the fog quickly dissipated. This is a rare good weather in London. Many old people simply moved their chairs out and basked in the sun while enjoying the warm sunshine.

At 8:34 in the morning, the fog has been worn away by the sun like ice and snow in winter.

More and more Londoners saw the warships as high as mountains on the sea.

"What is that?"

"Oh, God! Aren't these all unruly Ming people?"

Compared with those illusory things, Li Xiao disdained to pursue them, and Li Xiu was not willing to brag about them.

"They are from the Ming Dynasty, look at their yellow dragon flag." A little girl with gaping teeth said with a smile.

"My father said that as soon as you smell the smell of Daming vegetables, you should retreat as soon as possible."

"Retreat, wherever you go, there are tanks and armored vehicles in front of you. Although these old guys have never seen them before, their combat power is also impressive."
