In the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei and a group of military and political ministers are waiting here. Although it was already late at night and many people were already showing fatigue on their faces. However, everyone still forced themselves to hold on. Everyone knows that the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy is fighting a decisive battle with the British Navy, and the result of the decisive battle will directly affect the course of the war.

There was smoke in Long Yufei's study. Although the emperor himself did not smoke, he did not prohibit other ministers from smoking. After all, everyone's shoulders were heavy, and in many cases, they would inevitably smoke or other things in order to relieve stress. Long Yufei could maintain his understanding of this.

There were strong tea or coffee on the table in front of the ministers. Many people had changed countless cups. Some people were whispering this, and everyone was waiting for the message sent back from the front line.

Next to the empire emperor Long Yufei, there were several old men sitting, namely the empire's former prime minister Li Decheng. Since resigning as prime minister, Li Decheng began to live his life and his life has become regular. He usually spends all kinds of flowers or travels around the country to experience the changes in the country. This makes Li Decheng's health become stronger and stronger even though he is nearly 80 years old.

In addition to Li Decheng, there are also former chief of staff, Imperial Field Marshal Niu Meng, former deputy chief of staff, and Imperial Field Marshal Zhao Yi. The two veteran generals also attached great importance to this battle. They appeared here to wait for news.

The Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and the Imperial General General Sun Hao were by their side.

"Your Majesty, can we win this battle? I heard that the strength of the 5th Fleet is inferior to that of the British Navy's local fleet!" Li Decheng was a little worried. The 5th Fleet has tens of thousands of Imperial Navy soldiers. It is one of the two major fleets of the Imperial Navy. If it is defeated in a crushing way, it is conceivable what impact the empire will have.

"Don't worry, you can't help it. Although the number of warships in the 5th Fleet is not as many as that of the British, our warships are far superior to that of the British. In addition, we have prepared a killer weapon for this battle! We will definitely win this battle!" Long Yufei said confidently.

"Yes! Mr. Li, we will definitely win this battle. Just be calm!" Marshal Niu Meng, the former chief of staff, said with a smile. He had great confidence in the Imperial Navy. Although his eldest son also served in the 5th Fleet, he was not worried about his safety at all. As a field marshal, he also had some understanding of the situation of the navy.

"Well, then I'll be relieved!" Li Decheng nodded. He knew that everyone wouldn't use such an important thing to deceive him.

Other ministers were also discussing this matter. However, almost everyone believed that the Imperial Navy would definitely win. Although the British Royal Navy was a maritime overlord, they should give way to the Imperial Navy. After the Imperial Navy replaced the British Navy's maritime overlord position, this would make the Imperial one step closer to the world overlord. Of course, everyone believed that after the war, the Empire would become a veritable world overlord.

"After we win this battle, the entire North Atlantic military alliance will have no chance to turn the tables. The imperial army is mobilizing to Europe. By next spring, we will have millions of troops gathered in Europe. At that time, a major counterattack will begin. First, from the Iberian Peninsula, invade France, and destroy France, one of the pillars of the North Atlantic military alliance. In addition, the empire's millions of troops in the Western Siberian Plain will also cross the Ural Mountains, cross the Ural River, invade Russia, and destroy Russia with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. As long as France and Russia perish, we will win this battle. As for Britain, how long can they last on the isolated island?" Wei Yuan, the imperial foreign minister, was talking. Although he did not know much about military affairs, he undoubtedly said something about it.

However, the foundation for the Empire to win is always based on the Navy's ability to win this battle. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to win the final victory.

"Yes! But after winning this battle, we may have to compete with the Prussians for interests. Those damn Prussians actually want to preserve their strength in the war, which is simply unforgivable!"

The ministers of the empire were very dissatisfied with the Prussians' practice of preserving their strength. In their opinion, the current fate of the Belgian Kingdom was inseparable from the Prussians' failure to save them. Now the capital of the Belgian Kingdom has been occupied by the British and French coalition forces, and most of the territory of the country has been lost, leaving only a small part of the territory still under the control of the Belgian army. It can be said that in this war, the Belgian Kingdom paid a heavy price. Of course, as the empire's in-laws, the empire will definitely not treat them unfairly. After the war is over, the empire will definitely make up for the Prussian Kingdom.

"The Prussian Kingdom is simply a wolfish ambition. They were afraid that the empire would fully compress their living space after the war ended. So they tried desperately to preserve their strength in the war. It is estimated that when the news of the imperial navy's victory came out, they would immediately attack actively and compete with the empire for territory. However, they did not have a navy and the overseas colonies of Britain and France, and they could not count on it!" Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, Minister of Operations of the General Staff.

"But we have to be careful! As long as the Prussians do not give up their ambitions, we will sooner or later start a war with the Prussians." Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"When this war is over, the empire will become the real world overlord. The main areas of the world will be in the hands of the empire. The Prussians are still far behind in fighting against the empire. At that time, the empire will have an overwhelming advantage!" Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming seemed very confident. After all, even if the Prussians completed the unification of the German Empire, in the eyes of the powerful empire, their strength is still too weak.

It can be said that after this battle, the future of the empire is undoubtedly bright. After hundreds of years of despair, the great Chinese nation will once again stand at the top of the world!

The telegraph room of the Imperial Palace is now strictly guarded. Lieutenant General Lie Hu, the head of the Imperial Palace, guarded here personally. A ticking voice came from inside, and the telegraph room is receiving telegrams sent back from Europe.

"How long will it take to translate it?" Lieutenant General Lie Hu seemed a little anxious. The imperial emperor and a group of military and political ministers were still waiting for the telegram at this moment.

"General, you can translate it in half an hour!" said a brigadier general, the head of the telegraph room, and a brigadier general, sweating profusely. After all, the telegram sent back by the 5th Fleet this time was too long, including a detailed report on war damage, etc.

"Yeah!" Lieutenant General Li Hu nodded. He knew that no matter how anxious he was, he could do nothing.

In the past half an hour, Lieutenant General Li Hu could be said to have lived like a year. After finally translating the telegram, he immediately grabbed the telegram and ran to the study of the imperial emperor Long Yufei. On the way, he also quickly glanced at the content of the telegram. He didn't see anything else, but the word Dasheng was very eye-catching!

"Haha! We won, we won. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be very happy!" Lieutenant General Li Hu's face was filled with smiles.

"Your Majesty, the battle report of the 5th Fleet! It is a good news!" Lieutenant General Li Hu said loudly after entering Long Yufei's study.

"Good news! Win, we win!" Everyone stood up.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Everyone congratulated Long Yufei.

"Happy together! Happy together! This is my happy event, it is also a happy event for everyone, and it is also a happy event for the entire empire!" Long Yufei was very excited.

"Where is the detailed battle report? Chief of the General Staff, please read it to everyone!" Long Yufei said with a smile. Since it has been confirmed that it was a victory, his heart that has been hanging around can be put back into his stomach. After all, even if the 5th Fleet wins miserably, with the current strength of the Imperial Navy, it can be fully supported to ensure the victory of the war.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Sun Hao, the Chief of Staff, received the telegram and began to recite.

"In this battle, the 5th Fleet sunk five battleships of the British Navy and captured six battleships of the British Navy. Four Nelson-class battleships and captured four Nelson-class battleships. In addition, the Imperial Navy also sunk 23 large and large British Navy warships and captured more than 30 other battleships. Except for the battleship of the Birmingham, the British Platinum local fleet, with only a few "Southampton-class" light cruisers fled. The rest of the warships were all sunk or captured by the Imperial Navy!

The Imperial Navy itself had seven cruisers and destroyers, and four cruisers and destroyers suffered heavy damage. The rest of the warships were generally only slightly injured!" After General Sun Hao finished reading the telegram, cheers were already heard in the entire study.

There is no doubt that the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy achieved a complete victory this time! And it was a complete victory at a small price!

"Your Majesty, after this battle, the Imperial Navy has become the well-deserved maritime overlord! The oceans of the world will become the Imperial Navy!" Cabinet Prime Minister Lin Zihao was very excited.

"Well! We have won this battle. This war will inevitably end with the victory of the empire! Contact major newspapers and media immediately to inform the people of the whole country of this good news. The navy won a great victory, and we are sure to win this war!" Long Yufei was also a little excited. After all, it has always been his goal to make the Chinese Empire the world hegemon and let the Chinese nation stand in the forest of the world nations. Now, this goal is finally to be achieved! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
