"The Admiralty intends to send submarine forces to attack merchant ships transporting supplies to Germany? Will this stimulate a certain big country?" George Legge asked with some concern. In a high-level meeting between Britain and France, George Legge expressed his views on the upcoming measures taken by Britain.

Actions put forward their own views.

"Definitely, but as long as the other party's reaction is not too drastic, then I think such an attempt is still necessary. According to international practice, it is legal to attack ships transporting supplies to the enemy at sea. The Germans have also attacked U.S. shipping

ship, but the United States is only protesting, and China will not do anything more violent." said a naval official next to him.

"The Chinese Republic will never have a large-scale head-on conflict with us in a short period of time. The reason is very simple. Their target is Russia. Although it is not good to say this, but with all due respect, the collapse of Russia is only a matter of time, and

This time point depends on the consumption of the German Army and the needs of the Chinese government." At this moment, Lloyd George suddenly interjected. His tone was so indifferent, as if this matter was not about an ally of the British, but an ally of the British.

An unrelated country.

"Although the Chinese Republic has always maintained a strong navy, this cannot conceal their strategy of focusing on the north. Not only did they expand their army, they also spent a considerable part of their fixed asset investment in Russia. A large number of

Infrastructure was built, and their purpose was very clear. This was to prepare for future wars. Although they had already done so for two consecutive

After defeating Russia for the first time, although they have obtained a large amount of land from Russia, the Chinese leaders are still not satisfied. What they need is to collapse this empire that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and then take over the Russian territory and power in Asia.

!Of course, before that, China also needs to consume the Germans. At least it cannot let Germany obtain the entire Ukraine."

"Wars are all started around interests, especially in the eyes of an excellent strategic master. There is no reason to start a war without interests. The last time we backed down in the Saipan incident was because we needed to give both China and the United States

The two major powers have to explain themselves together, but this time it is different. The United States is already on our side, and China can gain greater benefits from the north.

Under the conditions, if we intervene in the Indian Ocean, this will obviously outweigh the gains. As long as we don't go too far, the Chinese Republic will never have a direct conflict with us. First, they have no real intention to take action. Second, they

They have not made relevant preparations, and thirdly, they are preparing to eat the fat piece of Russia!" Lloyd George said.

"Is Russia really beyond saving? If Russia is eliminated, then we will have to face the pressure of the entire Allies alone." Churchill frowned and said.

"Russia's collapse is inevitable, and it is caused by many factors. After the Russians lost the second Sino-Russian War, William II had already seen the weakness of the Russians and the strong external power. Although with the help of our loans

It restored Russia's vitality, but all this was just a return to glory. Russia was rotten from the roots, and if it were in the war

If the losses of the Russians fighting for China are greater, whether they are Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians, or various ethnic groups in Central Asia, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and rise up. More importantly, Germany may have chosen a suitable agent internally.

Man, as long as the Russian army is severely damaged, our allies are likely to become enemies in one day."

"As we all know, even if China gives Russia more aid, the Russian Army will still not be a match for the Germans. On the Western Front, we can also rely on the strength of the Americans, but on the Eastern Front the Russians can only rely on themselves! Russia, a giant with feet of clay, has already

Being targeted by Germany, Austria-Hungary, and China, there is no way it can escape! Even if Germany will not be the winner in the end, Russia will definitely die!"

If Xu Jie heard what Lloyd George said here, he would definitely give a thumbs up. He analyzed too much and basically stated the future plan of the Chinese Republic! Xu Jie’s views on Myanmar, India and Malay

Interest in these places is very low. One of the very important factors is that there are too many people there. China and the United Kingdom

The difference is that the Republic of China has a sufficient labor force. Unlike Britain, which has to rely on the population of its colonies. On the contrary, excessive population will bring too much trouble to China. Therefore, China is not very interested in continuing to conquer India or other Southeast Asian regions.

, a single Dutch East Indies is enough for China to slowly digest.

But Siberia is different. There are rich resources here, and more importantly, there are not many people! On the one hand, it can alleviate the population pressure of China, and on the other hand, there will be no ethnic problems. And this place is really too big, big enough to

It has been developed for hundreds of years! Resources and land are the basis for a strong country and people's prosperity. As long as we can get this land, China's natural resource endowment will exceed that of the United States.

China becomes the number one in the world! Coupled with the world's number one population and an efficient regime, no external force can shake it! With such a big cake in front of it, even if China suffers some losses in the Indian Ocean, it will never pay attention.

The power was redirected to the south and ignored the north! A qualified strategist must first be able to find the points of interest, and then be able to distinguish the priorities, and Xu Jie can naturally tell which is the most important.

After recognizing these things, Lloyd George believed that even if Britain did some tricks on the Indian Ocean route, the reaction of the Chinese Republic would not be strong. At most, it would just protest and then send warships to escort some merchant ships. However, this has not been the case in recent years.

For China, which only builds main battleships and relatively few auxiliary battleships, it may be

A lot of pressure, I am afraid that only a very small part of the ships can be protected, and the submarines of the British Empire can still hunt most of the ships with peace of mind, just avoid them if they encounter escorts. While maintaining the escort of the Chinese Navy,

In the case of a head-on conflict between battleships, as long as you act in a measured manner, there won't be much trouble.

And more importantly, even if some unpleasant things happen, China will still provide various supplies to the Allies. First, China must ensure that Russia does not collapse too quickly, cause certain damage to the German army, and let the remaining

The Russian army has the ability to defeat the spokesmen supported by Germany to prevent Germany from completely becoming bigger. Secondly, no one can get along with the interests of Germany.

China needs all kinds of technologies, but doesn’t China need the technology of the British? Germany can pay with various hard currencies, and the British also give real money! No one can get along with money! Some things happened at sea and these

Compared with large-scale transactions, they are just drizzle. (Historically, the United States also sold things to Germany during World War I, but the quantity was very small!)

And adhering to the British Navy's always tough approach, it is normal to seize ships that transport supplies for local areas for their own use, or to auction them. If the current strength is not a bit stretched, the British will never let it go!

The attacks will definitely become more intense!

After repeated studies determined that China would not choose to go to war with the Allies, and after confirming that the Americans also expressed "understanding" and "support" for this, the British submarine force stationed on the coast of the Indian Ocean finally began to conduct "controlled" attacks.

At first, the fleets transporting supplies from the Allied Powers first determined that the target was flying the flag of the Allied Powers and other neutral countries except China before launching an attack. Although the Allied Powers did not deploy many submarines in the Indian Ocean, this still brought great consequences to the Allied Powers.

There was tremendous pressure.

"It is difficult to destroy the opponent's sea power, but it is even harder to control the sea for my own use." At this time, Xu Jie did not know that Britain dared to attack the Chinese fleet, so he was happy to watch the fun at this time. After the war, the German Navy's

Submarines had a great time attacking British transport ships in the Atlantic Ocean. Even the British's huge number of auxiliary warships was a bit too much to handle, and now, when the Allies discovered

After their routes were messed up by the Allies, the three countries of Italy, Austria, and Turkey, which were already short on auxiliary warships, discovered that in the most miserable month, at least 30% of their supplies were sent to the sea by British submarines.

They were bought with real money and silver! They just sank into the water to keep company with the seafood! Of course, there were also a large number of sailors who sank into the sea with them.

If Allied submarines are sneaky in the Atlantic Ocean, then Allied submarines are open fire in the Indian Ocean! Compared with the Allied Powers, the Allied escort force is simply weak. Italy has been hanging out in the Mediterranean bathtub and has not considered the issue of ocean escort at all.

.The anti-submarine destroyers produced are a little nervous to even be equipped with the main fleet, let alone escort merchant ships. However, the Allies also have

My own method, which is more laborious, is to fire all the ports along the Indian Ocean! Anyway, all the British battleships are useless, and a few armored cruisers can blow up the almost undefended Indian ports to pieces.

The British seem to be a little afraid of China. All attacks on transport ships usually occur in the waters west of the Bay of Bengal. They are far away from China's strength!

But as things developed, especially when the pace of history reached 1916, the situation changed. The cruelty of the war made the contest between the Allies and the Central Powers even more cruel. The German Army successfully drove Russia to the Eastern Front.

On the Ukrainian border, at the same time, a force went north to attack the Baltic coast. On the western front, Britain and France organized several attacks. And in the area that the French dreamed of

A certain degree of breakthrough was achieved in the direction of Alsace and Lorraine. Although the German Army suffered heavy losses, it still defended the western defense line. The war situation on land will inevitably affect the sea, and this time, British submarines finally began to attack in a targeted manner.

The Chinese transport ship took action! A merchant ship transporting rubber and aluminum ingots was sunk in the Arabian Sea, and this made the Chinese government, which had always been laughing at it, finally unable to sit still!
