"With missiles, the glory of traditional artillery warfare and naval warfare is difficult to regenerate!" Cunningham sighed, but in his heart he was even more sentimental about the declining British Navy.

Hearing the news of the frequent victories of ship-to-ship missiles, he was already aware of the impact of anti-ship missiles on ship's guns.

In addition to a cost factor, the distance, power, and accuracy of naval guns are far inferior to missiles, and it is inevitable that they will be replaced by missiles in the future.

There was no shortage of visionaries in the British Navy, like the study of aircraft carriers, the British were even earlier than the Americans, and even missiles, the British, who had received intelligence from the Germans earlier, studied them. It was only economic factors and the brain drain caused by the war that made the British slowly fall behind the Americans.

What is even more crucial is that the replacement of new weapons and new tactics involves too many interests and personnel, and it is easy to drown in the memories of the old glory of the aging British Navy.

Even though Cunningham was aware of the threat of missiles, he still could not improve the current situation of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, and could only hope to drive the aging ship to turn slowly.

"Shall we follow the Americans and go back!" Admiral William, a member of the royal family who was followed by the gilded royal family, said softly, and paused slightly. Even such a pride as the British Navy had to back down in the face of the ferocity of anti-ship missiles.

The American fleet has long since retreated. As far away as possible from the Huaxia warships, they relied on the naval aviation fighters to drive them away, and even more so to the land, hoping that the land aviation would expel the Huaxia jet bombers carrying air-to-ship missiles.

At this time, although the US Navy already had jet fighters, it was a hassle to take off and land on the Essex-class aircraft carriers, let alone those escort carriers. In addition, the U.S. jet fighters were first prepared to deal with the Chinese Air Force and Army Aviation, so in terms of power, the newly established U.S. Air Force and Army Aviation, which are equipped with Sabres and Super Sabres, are more powerful.

The Americans were at a loss because of the Huaxia missiles, so they could only try to be as safe as possible and join forces with the Navy and the Army to deal with the Huaxia Navy.

At the moment, only air superiority can offset the long range of anti-ship missiles.

Relying on the advantage of a large number of fighters in the air, Huaxia's anti-ship missiles could hardly threaten the shrinking US fleet for a while.

"They can retreat, but we can't." Cunningham was still looking into the distance, but his eyes were a little distracted. "The Chinese have arrived in our hometown. Where can we retreat? ”

The young William next to him was immediately silent.

Unlike the Americans, who suffered a lot from the Chinese army, the British, who had never had much contact with the Chinese army, obviously greatly underestimated the strength of the Chinese army.

These days, the British army on British soil has been defeated and defeated. The Chinese army has already reached the outskirts of London, and the royal family, who had just made a show and shouted that they were going to move back to London, had to extend the move back indefinitely.

Subsequently, relying on the deterrence of the invincible battleship Huaxia, the Chinese army landed in Wales from the Celtic Sea and forced behind Birmingham and Liverpool. Even Manchester, where the royal family is now staying, is not safe anymore.

If in the past, there were still painless talks about moving to Canada, but now even the western part of Canada is occupied by the Chinese, and even the remaining part of the territory is not safe. Where can the British royal family move?

"We can only fight the Huaxia people to the end!" Cunningham said suddenly.

"But their missiles ......" William, who was originally full of enthusiasm, immediately returned to reality when he thought of the missile that could shatter all confidence, and cautiously proposed.

"For some reason, their missiles are deployed only on destroyers at the maximum. Their cruisers and battleships were still bombarded by naval guns. Field Marshal Cunningham interrupted William's caution. "The longer it drags on, the more missiles the Chinese have, and the more passive we will be." We need to make a deep impression on the Chinese people now and let them remember that this is our territory! ”

While William still had an objection in his mind, Cunningham had already set his eyes on the location of the Huaxia on the chart.

……

"Only by defeating it can our coastline be preserved!" Churchill also pointed directly at the invincible battleship.

Like the Bismarck in his previous life, he understood the power of this invincible battleship. It is said that the Chinese army was able to land in Wales without any problems. It was the defenders who were frightened by this invincible battleship and were defeated early. And the legend of the invincible battleship spread to all regions of the British mainland. No one can confidently say that they can defend this perverted invincible warship.

Everywhere this invincible ship went, the morale of the Allies was crushed below sea level. Surrender is no longer shameful, but more of a helplessness.

Even the Americans feared that the invincible warship would cross the Atlantic and dock on the east coast, the most prosperous part of the United States. So, determined to kill the threat in Europe, the Americans and the British coincided and quickly planned a hunt against this invincible warship.

When Meng Xiang got the name of the "whaling program", the joint operation of the American and British navies had already begun.

Two of the American-class aircraft carriers newly commissioned by the Americans participated in this encirclement and suppression.

Although there is still no sloping deck, it is very similar to the size of the Midway, but the American-class aircraft carrier can quickly take off and land jets with great flexibility, and with a full load displacement of more than 70,000 tons, it is more like the USS Forrestal.

In addition to the New Enterprise, the first ship of the USS America and the other USS Independence are both serving in the Atlantic, and the first mission is to encircle and suppress the Huaxia.

The chief mission target of the Huaxia was also the USS Washington Super Battleship produced by the Americans, and since seeing the Huaxia's third-class dreadnought battleships, the Americans were not willing to accept the obsolescence of their Montana-class battleships, and developed the more powerful Washington.

With the increasing role of aircraft carriers, as well as strategic bombers, the Americans finally stopped the production program of battleships, including 3 Montana-class and 2 Washington-class.

Eventually the construction and completion of the Washington-class super-battleships continued, with only 2 units, the USS Washington and the USS New York.

The USS New York was still outfitting, and the USS Washington, which was ready to serve on the Pacific Fleet's battlefield in Hawaii, was temporarily transferred to the Atlantic, just like the aircraft carrier USS Independence, which was temporarily transferred to the Atlantic Fleet, just to deal with the invincible battleship Huaxia.

Although it could not attack from a distance, eight 20-inch 508-mm naval guns could pose a direct threat to the Huaxia.

"That's not enough!" Admiral Kim, who served as the commander-in-chief this time, said cautiously.

Although the Huaxia was encircled near the British mainland, the U.S. Navy, as the largest contributor, won the supreme command.

To balance the balance, Cunningham and Tovey, two British naval marshals, became deputies.

Marshal Pound, who could compete with Admiral King, had died in 43, and both Cunningham and Tovey were a little less qualified.

But if it weren't for the urgency of the situation in Britain itself, the proud British would not budge. Now, though, they don't have a choice.

Even this time the British Navy went all out.

After the German Navy became stronger, British aircraft carriers were constantly destroyed, and new ones were constantly being built.

The old aircraft carriers of the British before World War II have all been destroyed, even the Ark Royal was sunk by the Germans, and even the Radiant-class aircraft carrier, which was only built in 37, was sunk by the Huaxia missile after the last aircraft carrier, the Radiance, all 3 were destroyed.

The British now only have 6 capital aircraft carriers left, in addition to the 2 Revenge-class aircraft carriers and the Revenge and Intrepid, there are also the latest 2 Eagle-class aircraft carriers, the first one changed to the Eagle Dardacity has not been in service for a long time, and the second Invincible has just left the Canadian shipyard and re-inherited the glorious title of Ark Royal.

After the Chinese and German jet fighters began to gallop in the blue sky, the third and fourth Eagle-class aircraft carriers were canceled, and the British quickly developed another, larger aircraft carrier.

In the process of joint development with the Americans, this aircraft carrier, which originally belonged to the Maltese class, has been increasing in displacement day by day, from 50,000 tons to 60,000 tons, which is somewhat similar to the Forrestal. Although three ships were also produced, the name was changed from the Maltese-class Malta, Gibraltar and New Zealand to the Invincible-class Australia, America and Africa.

At this time, only the Africa was put into service ahead of schedule.

The British had purchased two Essex-class aircraft carriers from the Umbrella Company, but one had already been sunk by the Germans. The remaining one is still in the Atlantic with the Indefatigable and the four escort carriers purchased from the United States and the Umbrella.

The British also felt that the four main aircraft carriers and the three escort aircraft carriers were still somewhat insufficient, so the three new battleships they served, including one improved Lion-class battleship and two Avant-garde class, and one Montana class purchased from the umbrella, led five old battleships, including one Yamato-class, also participated in this encirclement and suppression operation.

This is almost the last hole card of the British, like the last afterglow of the sunset, showing the last glory to the world.

Not to be outdone, the Americans sent another 6 Essex-class aircraft carriers and 1 Midway-class aircraft carrier, as well as 14 escort aircraft carriers, and the battleships sent 2 Montana-class ships, 1 Nanda, 1 North Carolina and 2 Iowa.

Missiles had little effect on battleships, so the Allied battleships came out one after another.

Even the other Allied navies formed a joint fleet with the United States and Britain, including 7 battleships and 3 aircraft carriers, aiming directly at the invincible battleship Huaxia. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
