The next day, the front page headlines of major newspapers in the Empire used big titles to publish the news that the Imperial Navy's 5th Fleet defeated the British Navy.⊥Although I did not get pictures, through telegrams with the 5th Fleet, almost all the major newspapers had learned about the battle. Through the refined text description, countless Chinese people felt like they were immersive after reading it.

In addition, the broadcast of the Empire also officially informed the people of the country of good news. This is undoubtedly a great uplift for all the people of the Empire. The war has begun for half a year, and the Empire has prepared for this war for so long. Now, the people of the Empire have finally seen hope of victory. Even though the war has not ended yet, the Emperor Long Yufei promised them that the war will end within this year, which is undoubtedly proven.

"Long live the Imperial Navy! Long live the Imperial Emperor!" Almost all major cities across the country began to celebrate the victory of the Imperial Navy.

Those who have a little knowledge know that after the Imperial Navy defeated the British Navy, the entire North Atlantic military alliance was determined to lose. The Empire's final victory was just around the corner. Many people are already calculating how great the Empire would get after winning this war. At that time, what benefits would the people of the Empire get from it.

After all, after the Empire won the past foreign wars, the lives of the people have undergone earth-shaking changes. In this way, the people of the Empire are not only not afraid of war, but are looking forward to the war launching foreign wars. The entire Chinese nation has also become more martial and warlike.

Compared with the Chinese Empire, which celebrated victory, the whole of Britain was immersed in a bleak cloud. When the commander of the British Navy's local fleet, General George Satrus, decided to surrender to China, he ordered a telegram to the British Navy. In the telegram, he explained the reasons for the failure of the British Navy and claimed that the current Chinese Navy is invincible. It is impossible for the British Navy to defeat the Chinese Navy in a short time.

Due to the time difference, the British side learned about the defeat earlier than China. At 5 pm on January 6, 1855, the telegram room of the British Admiral George Satrus had translated the telegram sent back by General George Satrus. However, after the telegram was reacted, no one dared to send it to the Minister of the Navy Sir Charles Adam. Everyone knew what kind of anger he would be when he handed over to Sir Charles Adam. Those who sent the telegram might suffer unrestrained disasters.

However, Major General Marshall, the director of the Telegram Room, had to bite the bullet and send the telegram to the Secretary of the Navy's office.

"Your Excellency, the telegram sent by General George Satrus!" When Major General Marshall walked into the Navy's office nervously, he placed the telegram on his desk, and then ran away without saying a word.

The Secretary of the Navy Sir Charles Adam was a little surprised. He seemed not to understand what happened to the director of the Telegram room today. However, when he picked up the telegram and read the contents, his face turned very ugly.

"God! How could this be possible? How could we lose? This is impossible!" The content of the telegram directly hit Sir Charles Adam very hard. He never expected that such a result would be. You know, the whole of Britain is now eagerly looking forward to the local fleet defeating the Chinese navy and achieving a great victory. Unexpectedly, not only did it not win, but it was a crushing defeat. This made the British Admiralty explain to Her Majesty the Queen, the government and the general public!

It took a while for Sir Charles Adam to adjust his mood. After all, even if it fails, the news will always be reported to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. And they have to discuss how to face the future!

"Come here, prepare the car, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion. In addition, I'll inform other cabinet ministers to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Sir Charles Adam looked lonely, as if he was much older at this moment.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The secretary nodded and hurriedly went to prepare for it.

Twenty minutes later, Sir Charles Adam arrived at the Prime Minister's House. At this moment, other cabinet ministers had gathered here. Everyone was speculating about what kind of news Sir Charles Adam brought. Of course, in their hearts, they certainly hoped to get news of the victory of the Royal Navy. This would be an inspiration for their entire British Empire and the North Atlantic military alliance.

"God bless the Royal Navy must defeat those damn Chinese!" Prime Minister Earl Stanley was also constantly praying to God in his heart. However, God obviously could no longer hear his prayers. The British Navy had already lost a lot.

When Sir Charles Adam appeared at the door of the conference room, everyone felt extremely bad when they saw him with a pale face. A terrible thought arose in everyone's heart. Could it be that the Royal Navy was defeated? No, this is absolutely impossible. Sir Charles Adam must be just joking with them.

"His Excellency Sir Adam, is it good news?" asked Prime Minister Earl Stanley. However, it seemed that he didn't even notice it himself, and his voice trembled a little. From this, you could feel the fear in his heart.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, General George Satrus has sent the battle report back!" Sir Charles Adam tried hard to control his emotions, but he couldn't do it. His whole body was already trembling slightly.

Everyone's eyes fell on Sir Charles Adam. Judging from his reaction, everyone knew that it must be bad news. This also made everyone's hearts continue to sink.

"In the telegram of George Satrus, the Chinese Navy used a new weapon in naval battles, and this new weapon caused heavy losses to the Royal Navy!" said Sir Charles Adam.

At this moment, everyone's faces changed suddenly. They all knew that the Chinese were always good at this. In every decisive battle, they would use advanced weapons to reverse the situation. Now, the British Empire seems to have been cheated by those damn Chinese again.

"What's the specific result?" Prime Minister Earl Stanley was almost losing patience.

"His Excellency Prime Minister, the local fleet of the Royal Navy was defeated! The battleship of the "Rodney" sinks, the battleship of the "Ansen" sinks, the battleship of the "Benbao" sinks, the battleship of the "Rabbit" sinks, and the battleship of the "Anger" sinks. Several other battleships were severely damaged or slightly injured. Except for the battleship of the "Birmingham" was injured shortly after the battle began and withdraws from the battlefield in advance, the other battleships were surrounded by the Chinese and had to surrender to the Chinese.

In addition, four of the eight Nelson-class warships were also sunk, and the other four surrendered to the Chinese. Except for a few "Southampton-class" light cruisers, the rest of the warships were either sunk by the Chinese, or had to surrender to the Chinese! The entire local fleet was completely finished!" Sir Charles Adam looked sad and angry.

It can be said that this battle directly declared the disastrous defeat of the British Royal Navy. This time the local fleet went to sea to concentrate all the main battleships and most of the warships of the Royal Navy. The disastrous defeat of the local fleet directly led to the British Royal Navy no longer having the power to turn over.

"Damn it, how could this happen?" Prime Minister Earl Stanley collapsed on the sofa, seemingly unable to believe everything in front of him.

The other cabinet ministers were also speechless. The Royal Navy actually failed, which directly led to all their plans being miscarried. All the counterattack plans formulated before were formulated if the Royal Navy could win. However, the Royal Navy actually failed. In other words, Britain had already lost.

"The warships that cost so much money to build were either sunk by the Chinese or captured by the Chinese!" Minister of Finance Benjamin Disraelli was very unhappy. These warships of the Navy were all piled up with money!

"Everyone tell me, what should we do now?" Prime Minister Earl Stanley looked very tired.

"Prime Minister, now we may have to find a way to stick to our homeland. After the navy's failure, there have been loopholes in the local defense. The Chinese are constantly transporting the army to Europe. Maybe they will land directly in the UK! It can be foreseen that the entire UK will soon be blocked!" said Marquis Angelsey, the Minister of Army.

There is no doubt that the Navy is now defeated. The Army has become the last pillar of Britain. Although there are still 12 battleships under construction in the Navy's shipyard. However, the Chinese obviously will not give Britain another chance. These battleships will not be built and served for a day! If Britain wants to ensure its own safety, it can only rely on the Army.

"Yeah!" Earl Stanley nodded.

The Navy Secretary Sir Charles Adam did not speak. He felt as if he had become a sinner in Britain. It was so uncomfortable that the warships that had spent so much money to build eventually became like this.

Foreign Minister Earl Glenville opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. In his opinion, Britain has now suffered a crushing defeat. If we want to protect Britain's interests, we have to find a way to end the war! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
