Chapter 2137 The Doomsday of the British Expeditionary Force 1

In fact, this news is not true. Not to mention whether the French will change so quickly. They fought with the Germans a month ago and now they have let the German high seas fight to the death. Now they have let the German high seas fighter use French ports. From a technical point of view, there are many problems. After all, the scale of the high seas fleet is too large. The capacity of any French port facility can not meet the high seas fleet. Moreover, the supply and logistics equipment of the two sides are completely different. It is difficult for the French to find enough personnel to provide you with help to the German high seas fleet. Even if the French are willing to provide the German high seas maintenance services, the Germans are willing to go, then the technical and practical operation problems are still very difficult!

But now one situation has been finalized, that is, the German submarines have begun to use French bases. Compared with the main fleet of hundreds of warships, it is much more convenient to maintain submarines. In addition to the need for some German-made torpedoes, the French can provide almost full service. This is precisely because of this reason that Jericho is very afraid of the German plans!

Although technically speaking, it is difficult for the Germans to enter French ports, but this is just a guess after all. What is the actual situation? War is the most likely to happen. If the German fleet really arrives at the port on the west coast of France and can obtain a certain degree of logistical support, it will be too fatal to the British Royal Navy! This means that the large fleet is forced to pk the French coast or the Atlantic Ocean with the opponent. In this case, it is really hard to say what the outcome will be.

Although Jericho has formulated a series of tactics around aviation, what if the weather is not good on the final battle... Who is right? As for the flash? Most British warships have a speed of 3 to 4 knots slower than the Germans! Moreover, due to insufficient fuel, the speed must be controlled. If the fight is really bad, the battle speed may decrease. In this case, you can't leave if you want to leave!

In fact, although Jericho has a general framework in tactical ways, Jericho is still uncertain about the specific strategic level, such as when to fight and where to fight. If the German high seas fleet really wants to stab the British artery, then he will definitely go to the North Sea, Norwegian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. So, which of these three seas will choose to be the battlefield? Jericho is really uncertain! To a certain extent, this is not Jericho can decide, and the initiative is in the hands of the Germans, so Jericho can only deal with the moves, rather than choosing a predetermined battlefield and waiting for the opponent to come!

Just as Jericho and Thomas were constantly quarreling about the future decisive war at sea, Prime Minister Asquis in London also called Commander Hager of the British Expeditionary Force. He now needs to tell Marshal Hager about a very bad decision from the top leaders!

"There seemed to be a big war breaking out in the Strait of Dover last night." Marshal Heg's voice came from the opposite side.

"It's like that. We won the night battle, but lost the daytime battle. General Thomas' fleet suffered heavy losses under the Luftwaffe air strike." Prime Minister Asquith said in a low voice.

"So, General Jericho refused to put troops in the Dover Strait?" Marshal Hege's words were so cold!

"Yes, not only him, but also the senior management. We are actually unable to ensure the smooth flow of sea transport ships. Maybe we can still raise some transport ships, but this evacuation work is undoubtedly breaking through the gates of hell. As a marshal, you should be very clear about the significance of the Royal Navy to the Empire. In this case, the Empire should not continue to be invested in the fleet."

"So, we were abandoned? Millions of soldiers who had fought in foreign lands for the interests of the British Empire for two years were thrown away by you like a rag?! Do you know? The fundamental reason why every officer and soldier can still pick up guns and low-end German tanks and planes in the trenches is because he believed that the British Empire would not abandon his soldiers. Even during the Napoleonic Wars, we experienced a crushing defeat in Spain, the British Empire would still not let go! But now?! I still have more than 500,000 troops in my hand, and every moment I have a living life sent to the altar of the God of War. They long to be saved, and for the sake of the empire, they will sacrifice their heads and blood. In the end, what we have been waiting for is such a result!"

"The British Empire is over! He has lost his warriors and his past glory! This is even more heartbreaking than the failure of a war! Your decision will affect a whole generation! No one will pick up a rifle for the Empire and fight around the world! No one!" Marshal Heg shouted hysterically.

"Sorry, my heart was bleeding when I made this decision. We will try our best to protect the lives of the Expeditionary Army soldiers. In the event that things are no longer restored, you and your Expeditionary Army can choose to surrender." Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Listen, now the German long-range artillery can cover the entire Dunkirk. No place in the defense line is safe. We have reached a desperate situation. If it were not for the possible evacuation plan, I might have chosen to surrender a week ago. For this possible plan, my troops lost more than 150,000 people! They were all killed in battle for the British Empire, so, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I decided to put down the phone and surrender immediately! We have done our best." Marshal Heg said.

"We can understand your behavior," Asquith said. Now, the British Prime Minister can no longer persuade Marshal Heg to continue to persevere.

"If it is convenient for you, you can hand over the rights to your deputy, and we will arrange a plane to transport you back to England." Asquith did not make this decision because of his personal relationship with Marshal Heg. He just thought that it would be a very embarrassing thing for Britain to see a marshal of the British Expeditionary Force appear at the surrender ceremony and then hand over his sword and scepter under the flashlight. According to his words, the glory of the British Empire's army for hundreds of years would disappear at this moment.

"No! I will be with my colleagues! You have abandoned them, but I will never! I will endure the humiliation I should endure with them! There will be no one from me and the command team to leave here! We are different from you politicians! I will share honor and disgrace with my soldiers!" Marshal Heg said in the last word.
