At this time, if the scientific community and the art community petition together to allow Germany and France to end the bloody battle in Paris, allowing them, especially the German army, enough time to adjust and quickly exit the quagmire of Paris, it will be very beneficial to preserve their combat effectiveness.
, and it will also win a higher reputation for Yang Feng and Lin Luoke. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.{
Things were indeed as Yang Feng expected. After the Emperor and Empress of China joined the petition to defend Paris initiated by the Curies in a private capacity, the whole of Europe, including Germany and France, just like the original main war wave, quickly
Another large-scale wave of opposition to the continuation of the war in Paris broke out. Countless people ran outside the French Provisional Presidential Palace in Bordeaux and the Charlotte Castle in Berlin, asking the two heads of state to stop the fighting in Paris and let this beautiful ancient city not
Cry no more.
"Look, this is public opinion, a very easy thing to manipulate. As long as you know how to play, or as long as you know how to instigate, they will do whatever you want them to do. Remember, the common people are the easiest to deceive, as long as you use the right method.
If you are right, they will be controlled by you like puppets. As a politician, you must understand this." Emperor Yang proudly taught Ye Zi how to fool the people.
With the participation of his wife and his wife, the weight of this petition immediately changed. William, who had long wanted to withdraw from Paris, but had to hold on for the sake of face and the morale of the frontline generals, was the first to make a statement.
If the French government agrees, then Germany is willing to make concessions in order to preserve Paris, which has left countless beautiful memories for it. The German army can agree to achieve a partial ceasefire between the two sides in Paris. If the French government agrees, he can make further concessions, and Germany and France
The two armies withdrew from Paris at the same time. A thirty-kilometer radius from the center of the Louvre was designated as a non-combat zone.
He is a smart man, so he naturally understands that Yang Feng is trying to pull him. The French government also understands, but by now they are exhausted, and if they continue to fight, Paris will be completely wiped off the ground. There will be no more Paris.
.The French really don’t know what is left of their country, so they should just go down the slope!
Only the British government is the most unhappy here, but the problem is that in the face of the turbulent public opinion throughout Europe and even in the United Kingdom, it is difficult for them to interfere. Besides, since Yang Feng has spoken, and it is rare to have his wife speak together, then
There is no need for the British government to be evil in vain.
Just like that, after a full month and a half of bloody battles, the sound of gunfire on both sides of the Seine died down one after another. The French who survived the war began to come out of their hiding places to clean up the ruins of their homes. Then the German and French armies exchanged views with each other.
They supervised the withdrawal of Paris in batches. However, in order to prevent the other party from using the city to mobilize troops in the future, they each retained a regiment in Paris for surveillance. In particular, the Germans completely blasted all the bridges on the Seine that could be repaired.
This incident caused the reputation of Yang Feng and his wife to skyrocket in Europe. Thanks to the boasts of People's Radio, European public opinion even began to call him the savior of Paris.
Of course, although the two sides withdrew from Paris, it did not mean a truce. On other battlefields in France, desperate struggles were still going on. After Moltke withdrew from Paris, he immediately sent part of his troops to attack Reims. He was originally blocking the attack in Reims.
Hindenburg's already very struggling French army had to retreat south to the south bank of the Marne River. The German Fifth Army and the Second, Third, Fourth Army led by Moltke, as well as the Tenth Army that joined later, finally formed a whole.
And pushed the battlefield all the way to the Marne River.
After the French army withdrew from Paris, part of it strengthened to the east to the Marne River defense line, while the main force moved west to join the British army and continued to attack the German army along the Oise River. As a result, the situation on the French battlefield gradually stabilized.
The nine German armies formed a convex shape. The five armies in the center occupied a vast area from the Meuse River to the Oise River, always maintaining pressure on the Marne River. On the right, the British and French coalition forces with more than one million people attacked eastward.
Trying to cut off their salient, Hindenburg's Fifth Army on the left and the Sixth and Seventh Army on the German-French border attacked the two French armies left there from both sides. The first one to bear the brunt was Verdun. If they did this
If the British and French forces on the right win, the German army will be able to drive south into southern France, where the defense is extremely empty. On the contrary, if the British and French forces on the right win, the entire center will be basically wiped out, and the German army will have to retreat to Belgium, and even to the
within Germany.
At this time, the European war finally spread outside Europe. The Russian Eleventh Army stationed on Luzon Island launched attacks on the German colonial islands of Mindoro and Samar at the same time. It was obvious that Nico
La wanted to seize the opportunity to seize Germany's Philippine colony.
The German army only has two garrison divisions in Mindoro, Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, and Mindanao islands. One of the divisions is garrisoned in Mindanao, and there are very few garrison troops on other islands. Moreover, the Russian army has
The German Navy also has a large fleet in Manila, including more than 20 large and small battleships, including two old-fashioned diesel battleships. The German Navy only has three old-fashioned protected cruisers in Mindanao. There is no comparability between the strengths of the two sides.
For example, there is only one regiment of German troops on Mindoro Island. It stands to reason that the Russian army can crush it with such a huge force. However, what shocked all parties was that the Russian army suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle of landing.
!
"The first batch of Russian landing troops, a brigade in total, landed in Calapan on three landing ships and a group of mobilized civilian ships. They were not blocked during the landing process. They were protected by their battleships at sea, and it was impossible for the Germans to fight them head-on.
Then the Russian army believed that with the strength of the German army on the island, it would be impossible to have the courage to fight them. After putting them on the island, it would be even more impossible to fight, so they arrogantly took over the villages and towns in batches. Of course
Mainly for looting.
Then their brigade, which was dispersed into more than a dozen teams, was besieged by more than 40,000 enemies, and they were all besieged in the most frantic manner. Those small Russian detachments that only had a few hundred people at most and didn't even bother to carry artillery were suddenly attacked.
They were drowned in the sea of people one after another." Ye Zi smiled and described to Yang Feng the tragic defeat of the Russians in Mindoro Island.
"Didn't you say that the German army only has one regiment?" Lin Luoke asked curiously.
"Yes, there was only one German regiment there, and that regiment wasn't even involved in the war. They were protecting German expatriates retreating to Mindanao, but there were over half a million Tagalogs on that island, and almost half of them were from
Those who escaped on Luzon Island would rather die than accept Russian rule again, so before the Germans left, they opened an arsenal and gave them all the weapons in stock.
The performance of the Tagalog people on the battlefield was crazy. Even when facing the Russian machine guns, no one flinched. Those who did not have guns even directly tied zha powder on their bodies and jumped into the middle of the Russians and died with them. Not only the men
, even women and children used poisoned bows and arrows to attack the Russian army in the jungle." Ye Zi said with a smile.
From Yang Feng's point of view, there is nothing surprising. The Russians slaughtered more than one million monkeys on Luzon Island in less than ten years. The two sides had a blood feud, but the Germans had no control over the monkeys.
But it was relatively mild. They even opened universities in Mindanao and allowed the monkeys to exercise autonomy. Even compared to the Spanish, they were much stronger. Compared with the executioners in China and Russia, the German colonists were like angels in the eyes of the monkeys. So.
When it comes to the Russian army attacking German colonies, the one who is most anxious is not William, but the monkeys. In recent years, a large number of Luzon monkeys have tried every means to escape to German territory, even at the risk of being captured and directly scalped. Many people
They even just swam across the strait from Badanyan on a piece of plank. Now they are going to go back to their hell-like life. They really dare to risk their lives.
In addition, the Russian army in Luzon was also abolished at this time. On that island, they lived a life of complete slave owners. The Russian garrisons in some remote settlements even played with the monkeys. Such a wonderful thing
After so many years of living, it would be incredible if he still has the ability to fight.
The reason why William confidently and boldly left the Philippine colony to the fox with two divisions was because the fox assured him that two divisions were enough, because he could still arm at least two armies of Filipinos. The only thing missing was
arms.
But this is not a problem at all for Fox's mind. His solution is very simple, just buy it directly from Yang Feng. Anyway, once the war starts, the rubber from the Philippines cannot be shipped back to Germany. It can be shipped directly to China to exchange for arms.
Based on his understanding of Yang Feng, His Majesty the Emperor would be very happy to know such a good business. Anyway, the Chinese colony of Panay Island and the German colony of Leyte Island are only separated by a few kilometers of sea water.
Of course Yang Feng was happy with such a good business. After receiving the telegram sent to him by Fox alone, Emperor Yang agreed without hesitation. Of course, he did not need to care about such a small job. As long as he nodded, the person stationed in Panay Island
The governor and the Chinese businessmen there solved the problem themselves, purchasing rubber from the Germans. The rubber was used directly to order German arms from domestic arsenals, and then shipped to Panay Island, which was Chinese territory, even if the Russians were watching.
He also stared.
Moreover, the strait between Panay Island and Leyte Island is only a few kilometers, which can be said to be Chinese territorial waters. The Russians have no way to stop it. As for the shipment to Leyte Island, the Germans will not need to transport it to other places.
The Chinese are worried. Although Fox only has three old-fashioned protected cruisers, he has dozens of high-speed torpedo boats. It is still very easy to ambush the Russian warships in the narrow channels between the islands. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
