Chapter 805: Can't be left to the British
The capital of Germany, Berlin.
Now Berlin has a hint of the world's hegemonic capital. Although, Berlin used to be one of the famous big cities in the world. However, it is far from being compared to London and Paris.
Paris has been destroyed in the flames of war, and London is about to be bombed to ruins. This will make Berlin the largest and most prosperous city in Europe. It is estimated that only New York can compare with it.
Although the war was not over, it was already a matter of certainty that Germany would win the war. This will make Germany destined to become the future world hegemon. As the capital of the world hegemon, Berlin will inevitably become the political and financial center of the world, but it is only a matter of time.
The impact of the war has begun to decline. Although the war against Britain still required a large number of troops. For this, it is also necessary to consume a large amount of war materials. However, with the arrival of large war reparations from France and Italy, as well as large quantities of resources and food crops from the occupied territories, Germany was gradually freed from the effects of the war. The people's living standards will also continue to improve as a result. As a result, their support for the Emperor and the government continued to rise.
Germany, in another time and space, lost the war and caused the country to collapse. But, in this plane, everything is different. Germany won the war, not only avoiding the collapse of the empire, but also growing stronger as a result.
The Imperial Palace, the office of Emperor Qin Tian.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the British already have the intention of abandoning their homeland. They are secretly transferring their wealth to Canada. "Director of Imperial Intelligence von? Admiral Bai Laiming reported.
Qin Tian nodded, it was completely understandable that the British would evacuate the mainland after discovering that they could not hold it. Qin Tian did not expect to conquer the British mainland, so he let the British bow down. The British are used to being the world hegemon, and even if they lose this war, they will definitely not bow their heads and admit defeat like this. At least, some of them will not bow their noble heads, and it must be British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the British royal family.
Qin Tian only hoped that after taking the British mainland, Germany would be able to establish a solid defense line in the eastern Atlantic. At least not to allow the enemies of the German Empire to use the British mainland as a bridgehead for a counter-offensive on the continent. In addition, after the loss of the homeland, even if the British continue to resist, they will not be able to make any big waves.
"Keep an eye on the actions of the British! They must not be allowed to ship that wealth to Canada! Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng? Admiral Bai Laiming nodded.
Subsequently, Qin Tian summoned the Imperial Navy Minister Feng ? Marshal of Count Tirpitz. To intercept those riches of the British, at this stage only by the navy.
"Your Majesty, the wealth accumulated by the British Empire over the centuries is quite astonishing. I don't know how much gold is there alone. Those riches will never be able to be shipped to Canada! Marshal Count Tirpitz said immediately.
Qin Tian nodded: "However, although we have blocked the United Kingdom. But the blockade actually has a lot of loopholes. If the British secretly take away the wealth, we really can't do anything with them! ”
Britain's coastline was long and winding, and the German navy could only complete a general blockade, and it was almost impossible to completely blockade Britain. Especially at night, the current navy's night combat capability is quite poor. Coupled with the restricted line of sight, the British were easily able to find loopholes and break through the German blockade.
If the British used destroyers to transport the riches, and set out at night, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to catch the British. What's more, the British also had quite a few submarines. Although the performance of those submarines was far inferior to that of the German Navy, it was no less difficult to find and sink them. Those submarines can also be used to transport the gold.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly very difficult to intercept the British and prevent the British from shipping those wealth to Canada.
"Your Majesty, even if we send more warships and further strengthen the blockade of Britain, it will not have much effect. The British could use destroyers and submarines for transportation. It is unlikely that we will succeed in intercepting them! Marshal Count Tirpitz looked a little frustrated.
The wealth of the British is undoubtedly coveted. If Germany can get this wealth, its national power will be even greater. At the same time, it can also greatly weaken the United Kingdom. Otherwise, once the British succeeded in transporting this wealth to Canada, they would soon regain it. Of course, it will not pose a mortal threat to Germany, but there is no problem in causing trouble for Germany.
"I know that it is almost impossible to stop the British completely. What we can do is to intercept as much of the wealth of the British as possible. It would be best to be able to snatch it from the hands of the British. If you can't grab it, you can sink it directly, and it is better to sink it into the sea than to fall into the hands of the British! Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded.
"General Bai Laiming, the intelligence department should focus on searching for relevant information, and it is best to be able to determine when the British will transport the gold, whether to use destroyers or submarines, which route to take, and so on. In this case, if we arrange a special interception of the warship, the probability of success will naturally be much greater. Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The intelligence services will do their best! "Feng? Admiral Bai Laiming nodded.
Although he knew that it was a very difficult task. The British will keep the news of the transshipment of gold strictly confidential. However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to find a way to get it done. It was vital to intercept the gold of the British.
"In addition, the Navy can send aircraft carriers to the Atlantic. The patrol radius of carrier-based aircraft can be much larger than that of warships. Once a suspicious ship is spotted, immediately call the warship to intercept it, or launch a direct attack. It is also much more efficient than using warships alone. Qin Tian suggested.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it!" Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded.
"For the good of the Empire, we must stop the British! The gold, they can't be allowed to take it to Canada. If the empire can't get it, it will sink it directly, and no one will get it. Qin Tian said solemnly.
