Chapter 998 EU’s Plan

"Everyone, this is the information sent back by our ambassador in Nanjing. Dahua has formed an expeditionary force and is coming to attack our homeland. Faced with this situation, what suggestions do you have?"

Charles II said worriedly.

Although he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, he felt that this day came too early, and Great Britain was not sufficiently prepared.

After hearing what Charles II said, the other ministers' hearts suddenly froze.

This news is really too bad.

"The Chinese are really coming to attack us in Europe? Are they sure they can reach us from such a distance?"

A minister asked doubtfully.

What Dahua wants to come is not just one or a few ships, but a huge formation. This difficulty is not ordinary.

After all, Dahua's formations can't just arrive in Europe, they also have to continue fighting in Europe.

"Jackson, stop being naive. If they couldn't get there, how did Ceuta fall into their hands? They had this ability a few years ago, let alone now."

Carmelo said.

"Perhaps we should strike first and recapture Ceuta, so that the enemy will have no foothold or supply depot when they come to Europe."

Jackson is also a ruthless person, and he will attack ruthlessly once his face is broken.

"It's not enough to destroy one Ceuta. If Dahua's military bases on the Gold Coast and the Cape of Good Hope can be destroyed, it will cause them enough trouble."

Carmelo analyzed.

"This is not a matter for us as a country in Great Britain. It is better to urgently convene the EU General Assembly to discuss countermeasures together."

Another minister said.

After receiving the news, other countries' reactions were similar to Great Britain's, and they all fell into panic.

Then, they all pinned their hopes on the EU.

The EU General Assembly was convened urgently, and the situation this time was even more serious than Dahua's attack on South America.

In South America, losing it is not a particularly serious problem for them.

However, once the homeland is attacked, it will be a big deal.

Many bigwigs gathered in Paris.

"Everyone, is the information accurate?"

Alex asked.

"The Spanish ambassador, the French ambassador, the British ambassador, and spies from various countries have all sent the same telegram. Do you think the message can be wrong?"

Pardo also hoped that this was inaccurate information and a false alarm.

However, as a key decision-maker, he would not be so naive.

"What can we do? Our navy should not be Dahua's opponent."

Alex worried.

Although Alex didn't know exactly how many warships Dahua had, the warships Dahua had publicly revealed were far more powerful than them.

Not to mention other things, they didn't know how to deal with Dahua's Yanhuang account alone.

Even if a purely iron-clad ship with tens of thousands of tons were driven in front of them and bombarded with cannons, they would not be able to sink it. At most, it would cause some damage.

"Don't worry, it's not easy for Chinese people to come over smoothly at such a long distance."

Karofsky seemed calm, but in fact he just didn't want Tsarist Russia to be involved.

After all, Dahua is attacking from the sea this time, not from land, so it has little to do with them and Russia.

Dahua had to pacify the entire Western and Central Europe, and then it was their turn to conquer Tsarist Russia.

Therefore, compared with the extremely nervous representatives of other countries, Karofsky is relatively calm.

"Fart, do you mean to let the entire European Union pin its fate on fantasy?"

Seeing Karofsky's attitude, Fernando, the representative of Holy Rome, breathed sweet scent.

"Perhaps, we should negotiate peace with the Chinese. There is no need for a war to break out among the Chinese."

French representative Raffarin said weakly that he did not want Paris to be bombarded. Otherwise, those angry Paris people might do something crazy.

The whole venue was so noisy that even a unified direction could not be determined.

This made William feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Everyone, Dahua is very powerful and determined to go to war. We can no longer have any illusions. However, we are not without a chance of winning. God is on our side this time.

The long distance will inevitably make supplies for the Chinese very difficult. We only need to destroy the supply depots of the Chinese in Ceuta, the Gold Coast and the Cape of Good Hope, and the Chinese will be in a dilemma.

As long as we hold on until they run out of fuel and food, they will just have to wait to die. At that time, we can easily capture their warships, including the Yanhuang. "

William stood up and pointed out a clear path to the confused people.

This is a difficult path, but at least it sounds promising.

Compared with representatives from other countries who only talk useless nonsense, William's words are much more useful.

As a result, everyone calmed down and continued to listen to William's plan.

William has two plans, both of which are taking advantage of Dahua's supply difficulties. The focus is to destroy Dahua's three supply bases.

The first plan is to send a powerful army to directly destroy Dahua's three strongholds and force Dahua's fleet to retreat in spite of difficulties.

This is a relatively negative approach. Even if Dahua temporarily retreats

, these strongholds can also be recaptured and repaired.

The second plan is more positive, with greater risks and greater benefits.

They also destroyed the three strongholds of Dahua, but the difference was that they had to wait for Dahua's fleet to arrive in Europe before launching an attack on those three strongholds.

As a result, Dahua's fleet will not be able to retreat to Dahua.

As long as they can sustain Dahua's first wave of offensive, and wait until Dahua's fleet is out of ammunition, fuel, food and water, they can swarm up and count the spoils.

The value of Dahua's entire expedition fleet is immeasurable to them.

Of course, this plan is very difficult and the risks are very high.

If the expedition force they sent out did not capture the three strongholds of Dahua, or if they could not even hold off the first wave of Dahua attacks, then everything would be over.

Under the temptation of the spoils of an entire fleet, EU countries are leaning towards the second option.

Persuading Dahua to retreat is naturally not as tempting as defeating Dahua.

Moreover, in the view of representatives from various countries, the success rate of William's second plan is not low.

Although Dahua is powerful, the garrison of a stronghold is limited. If ten times the army is concentrated there, there is no reason why it cannot be captured.

And Europe is so big, it is impossible to defend even a wave of offensives from the Dahua Fleet.

At worst, even London and Paris will be temporarily abandoned.

As long as Dahua is defeated, these places will still belong to them.
