On September 28, 3906, Minister of the Navy John Niu formally made an opinion to the Prime Minister of Geely that action should be taken to completely block the channels for the Will Army to receive materials. The meaning is clear, that is, the Qing Empire is not allowed to enter the Will Army. port.

"Your Excellency, the merchant ships of the Qing Empire passed through the Gili Gili Strait unscrupulously. They brought a lot of steel, food, weapons, equipment and other materials to the Will Army. If the Qing Empire did not support the Will Army, what about the war? It doesn’t take so long at all! We are not at a disadvantage until now.

Said the Secretary of the Navy Phillando.

"Yes! Your Excellency Prime Minister!"

"Although the Will Army is fully prepared for war, originally based on our estimation, their resources are now very scarce. Although they still occupy a weak advantage, it is simply a fantasy to defeat us. As long as we Hold on for a while, and soon they will collapse."

"It's just that now they have the help of the Qing Empire, the war may be delayed for a long time, and we will consume more national power!"

The Secretary of the Army Hotdan also said.

Prime Minister Astairs nodded with a gloomy face. He also understood the importance of those materials to the Will Army, but he also understood that the Qing empire was engaged in acts that both sides traded and wanted to make a fortune in the war.And it seems that they have already earned a billion auspicious pounds.

But he also understood that the Qing Empire was not a weak chicken at all. The Second World, a country that was already very strong both economically and militarily, would have a very sad life if they angered them and chose to join the Allies.

"What do you think?"

Astes finally decided to listen to other people's opinions first, after all, some people in the military were here.

"Your Excellency, the royal navy of the empire does not fear the power of any country. As long as you nod your head, we will immediately seize and sink any merchant ship bound for the Port of the Will Force, so that they will no longer or have any supplies, and completely blockade. The coastline of the Army of Will,"

Secretary of the Navy Philland said without hesitation.John Bull's navy has its own pride. For him, the navy of the Qing Empire is nothing more than a stronger army.

"In that way, we might start a war with them. The Qing Empire launched five Emperor-class battleships last year. They were behemoths of more than 30,000 tons, no worse than our latest battleships, and their army could attack the Suez Canal at any time. It is too dangerous to launch an offense." v5 novel www.v5xs.com

Foreign Secretary Gray said with some worry that, as Foreign Secretary, he knew better how terrible the development of the Qing Empire has been over the years.

"We are just controlling the enemy ships in the military restricted zone. This belongs to the rights of the belligerent countries. They should abide by these things. Wasn't it the same for their blockade of the neon waters back then?"

"These things can be resolved through diplomatic channels, and now they may not dare to start a war. After all, Europe is too far away from them, and Mijian did not participate in the war."

Admiral Jerich also said.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister ordered! In this way, the Will Army will be in trouble, and we can end this war faster. After all, every minute of delay. Our soldiers will die."

The Secretary of the Navy Philland continued to persuade.

With the gradual unfolding of the war, the prime minister’s power expands, and he is qualified to declare war directly against the hostile country with the approval of the cabinet. In this way, the issue of restricting the enemy’s merchant ships can be easily decided.

"Well, make a statement to the outside world! The entire North Sea including the Gili Gili Strait and the 50-nautical-mile range of the Will Army coastline has become a military restricted zone. Ships of any country must obtain our consent to enter this area, otherwise they will be detained and refused. Our cooperating imperial navy has the right to sink it."

Astes fell into deep thought, and he also understood that it was obviously unwise to offend Daqing now.

But watching them one after another merchant ships continuously enter the port of the Will Army to supply them, he is unwilling, after all, it is a strengthening of the strength of the Will Army.

Finally he gritted his teeth and said.

John Bull officially declared that the North Sea is close to the Will Army waters as a war zone, and all other ships are prohibited from approaching, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to John Bull. They have the right to expel, seize, and even directly sink.

The purpose is self-evident, it is to directly target the Qing Empire and not allow them to supply the army of will...
