At this time, they had already completed their strategic goals and did not need to continue to stimulate the Johns and the Italians.

This island has thousands of square kilometers. Not only can the navy be stationed, but also 500 fighters and a large number of armies can be deployed to become a sea fortress.

However, in order to prevent the possible counterattack of the Johns, the Nanyang Fleet strengthened the Mediterranean Squadron, especially the battlecruisers.

Huaguo's use of the navy against Crete greatly stimulated John, and the government of John, which had just won a victory, can still be maintained.

But those proud navies can’t sit still. The Royal Navy, the pride and symbol of John’s, has always played the role of escort and deterrence in this war, and has never participated in a large-scale war. They have asked for it. Send troops to recapture Crete and defeat the Eastern Mediterranean Squadron.

"Your Excellency, the naval officers and soldiers have a high fighting spirit. Numerous naval soldiers have called for battle, hoping to touch the power of the Eastern Navy to the Mediterranean. Retake the land we lost."

Pound had most participated in the mission of World War I, and his prestige was still very high, but he did not suppress the mood of those admirals.

And in his subconscious mind, he was also very dissatisfied that the position of the marine hegemon was taken away by the East. He always believed that the previous naval battle with the East failed because of being too aggressive.

"The Orientals are really too arrogant. We abandoned Egypt and the Suez Canal before, and we also won the war against the Chinese and Italians in North Africa, but they are still so unscrupulous, they did not put us in the eyes. If Citi’s reinforcements hadn’t arrived yet, we would have made a fortune.”

Churchill was also very aggrieved.The East seemed very confident. Their army concentrated on Libya and Egypt and Beijing to make a defensive appearance. They didn't seem to put their threats in their eyes. Instead, they provoked a cut in the Mediterranean.

The geographic location of the Mediterranean is very important, where it can directly threaten North Africa, Italy and even the Middle East.

Especially after they discovered that Italy was a soft persimmon, they hoped that they could land in Italy and get rid of them first after they were ready for the counterattack. Then the Mediterranean Sea became particularly important.

"Your Excellency, although they only occupy the western part of the Mediterranean Sea and control the route to the Black Sea and the Suez Canal. They have not attacked east for the time being, but they are still a huge threat to us." asked the Navy Secretary Pound.

"Your Excellency, anyway, we will soon go to war with the Eastern Army, and we will go to war directly with their navy." Battelle novel www.btebook.com

"Yeah! We can't continue to let them make progress. Once they continue to drive east, shall we fight back or withdraw from the Mediterranean? If we want to fight back, it is better to start earlier, at least our morale is booming now."

Many cabinet members said that they can no longer compromise with the East. If they continue to compromise, they will lose more interests.

But then there was silence. Although their Johns Navy was very strong, many naval construction plans were cancelled due to the impact of the economic crisis, but the East did not, and those naval restriction conventions almost became a piece of paper. A mess destroyed by countries.

God knows whether they can defeat the Eastern Navy. The consequences of the Citizens' vain attempt to challenge the Eastern Navy are still vivid.

I am afraid that even if they join hands with Citigroup, they may not have the ability to defeat the Eastern Navy.

"Everyone, the strength of the Eastern Navy is too strong. The submarines of the Willing State have constrained too much of our forces, and we still need to leave a part of the force fleet to watch their main fleet. If you rush to war with the Eastern Navy, if you fail If it does, it will cause serious consequences, and will even be counterattacked by the Chinese navy."

Churchill still didn't want to take the navy out to take risks. Now their army can barely lose a little. If the navy loses, it will hit John more than the army. After all, they are the neon on the ocean.

The ocean is their barrier.

Churchill's words silenced the others. They were not reconciled to the persecution of the East, but they were afraid of the strength of the East, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Is our Royal Navy really not the opponent of the Orientals?" Someone sighed.

"Although the Royal Navy is reluctant to admit it, in general, we are really not the opponents of the Orientals. They are also a veteran naval power, and the navy has developed too fast in recent years. The funds they received are not comparable to us. De sighed and said that with the loss of John's First World War and the impact of the colony and economic crisis, their navy's resources were not as good as before.

His words immediately made others feel that there is no hope this time. They can only do to watch the East gradually occupy the Mediterranean and let the East's navy intervene in Europa's sea power.

"But why are we looking for their main fleet for a decisive battle? Now we only need to destroy their Mediterranean squadron, which is very promising."

However, Pound's turn of the conversation gave everyone hope...
