While North America, the Confederacy, and the Spanish United States were sorting out their own internal affairs, the division of assets belonging to the former Federation was also rapidly underway. The first priority was the division of the navy and the army. The British were impatient. They wanted to join forces with France and Russia.
If you take action at sea, you must do it before the ports along the Baltic Sea freeze. Otherwise, the six German battleships will be freed up, and the advantage of Britain and France's twenty-seven battleships will not be great enough.
Now 200,000 British troops have withdrawn to the mainland in batches. Emperor Yang's mine map of Helgoland Bay was also transported by airship from Beijing to Kuwait, where it was then sent to the UK by a Chinese cruiser. The withdrawal of the British troops in Italy is still under way.
In order to prevent accidents, someone must fill the vacancy as soon as possible.
Under the urging of the British boss, the division of the former U.S. Navy and Army was proceeding as quickly as possible. Since China and surrounding countries had made security commitments, the three countries also recalled their own soldiers serving in the former federal armies and sealed them at their respective stations.
All weapons. However, the recalled soldiers did not go home. Instead, they gathered at their designated locations. The Confederacy and West America were naturally not in a hurry, but North America reorganized the recalled army soldiers in the shortest possible time. Before the weapons could be counted and
After partition, we directly pulled guns and artillery from the arsenal to arm them, and then announced that they would join the Allied Powers and declare war on the Central Powers. Then, these soldiers were loaded onto merchant ships and escorted by British ships directly to Italy.
When the first batch of American troops landed in Naples, it was already the end of October. The arrival of this batch of reinforcements finally made the British relieved. Although there were only 50,000 troops, and after a long sea voyage, they still had to go through a period of
During the recovery period, it is impossible to go to the battlefield immediately, but it is still enough to scare the half-hearted Italians.
In fact, after partition, North America only had a total of 300,000 land troops, but the capitalists had already begun large-scale mobilization. They also promised the British that they could invest at least one million land troops in Europe.
Of course, the British didn't count on them. The domestic situation in North America was in chaos right now. By the time they mobilized one million people to go to Europe, the war would have been over long ago. The mine map of Helgoland Bay had been sent to London.
The top-secret layout plan shocked the British naval generals. They really couldn't imagine how the Chinese got hold of such top-secret information that was vital to Germany's life and death.
But they don't need to care about this. With such information, Helgoland Bay has actually opened the door to the British Navy. Next, they only need to deal with the High Seas Fleet. They can sail into the Elbe just like sailing into the Thames Estuary.
At the mouth of the river, the port of Hamburg will be docked just like London, and then hundreds of thousands of British troops will be inserted into the heart of Germany like sharp knives.
The entire Allied Powers were inspired by this mine map, and France and Russia immediately began to fully cooperate with the British landing. Four French navy battleships gave up their escort work in the Mediterranean and left the Mediterranean from the Strait of Gibraltar to the English Channel.
Anyway, supplies can be disembarked at ports in western France and then transported to Italy by rail. Even if the two Greek battleships cut off maritime transportation in the Western Mediterranean, it doesn't matter. As for the security of the southern coast of France, it is impossible for those two battleships to break through.
Marseille Port. However, the departure of the four Guba-class ships was still chosen at night. After all, it would be bad for the Germans to know that they were alert.
At the same time, the Russian Baltic Fleet, which had not fired a single shot during the entire four-year war, all four Swedish-made Gangut-class high-speed battleships and two self-built Queen Maria-class ships sailed out of Kronshtadt.
Dejung. This was soon known to the German side. The First Squadron of the High Seas Fleet immediately became nervous. Of course, they were not worried that these six battleships would pose a threat to the German homeland. All the ports along the Baltic Sea were blocked by mines, and the battleships were forced to break through.
Suicide. But the problem is that the Russians can intercept merchant ships sailing from Sweden to Germany at sea. This is Germany's current main lifeline, the real lifeline.
Until now, the most important war supplies for Germany were not industrial products such as arms, steel, and crude oil, but food. Merchant ships sailing from the Confederacy and Mexico all carried out ship after ship under the banner of exporting to Sweden.
The grain is transported to major ports in Sweden, and then resold to Germany by German and Swedish merchant ships. This is currently the lifeline that William can still keep both at home and on the front line from going hungry. Domestic production alone cannot meet the needs. This is also
The main reason why he has to maintain a strong enough fleet in the Baltic Sea is that once the Russian Baltic Fleet cuts off this transportation line, his soldiers and people will starve.
The First Squadron led by Lieutenant General Holzendorf immediately set sail. In order to quickly deal with the two battlefields in the east and west, the main force of his fleet has been replaced by five fast battleships and one battlecruiser. These six battleships brought
With a group of escorting cruisers and destroyers, they left the port of Kiel and headed east to meet the Russian fleet on the calm Baltic Sea.
At this time, neither William nor his Army Chief of Staff Schlieffen and Navy Chief of Staff Tirpitz had the slightest idea that hundreds of British warships, including 23 battleships, were landing at major British ports.
Ships and troop transports are being activated. For this landing, the British have used all the sea power they can currently use. Thirty-two landing ships will carry two carefully selected elite infantry divisions to raid the German coast and then raid
After occupying Cuxhaven, large and small troop transports loaded with two entire armies began to land at this port.
At the same time, the first British troops to land took trucks transported by ro-ro ships and went straight to Hamburg along the railway. After landing, part of the British troops continued to attack Hamburg, and the other part attacked Bremen. In this near-surprise situation,
It was impossible for the German army to make any response in time. The only defensive force they could use was an army deployed in the Netherlands and a Dutch army group. This force could not arrive in a short time. If nothing unexpected happened to the British army
, it is absolutely possible to occupy these two important ports with almost no bloodshed. As long as Hamburg and Bremen are obtained, there is basically no need for Germany to continue this war. When the news of China's participation in the war reaches Europe, they will only have
Surrender is an option.
Of course, before that, the British Home Fleet and the French Fleet must first deal with the thirteen German battleships in Wilhelmshaven. But this problem is very simple. Twenty-seven versus thirteen, no matter how hard a naval battle like this is fought, they will win.
"The war is finally over!" In the Prime Minister's Office in London, British Prime Minister Sir Bannerman said with relief as he looked at the night sky outside the window. In front of his eyes, there seemed to be scenes of countless British people cheering for victory under the bright sunshine.
, four years later, this exhausting war is finally over.
"The war has finally begun." In the distant Chinese Army General Staff Headquarters in Beijing, Emperor Yang, who was sitting on a chair with a scepter and a cup of tea, looked at the generals in front of him who were busy mobilizing troops and generals. His face was also filled with joy.
said.
When Britain occupied Hamburg, China entered the war.
Only in this way can he ensure that after China joins the Allies, the Allies still have hope of fighting. Otherwise, what if he declares war and Britain, France, and Russia immediately sue for peace? Germany and Austria will definitely not want it. Even if China wants to fight them at that time,
If he doesn't know how to serve, he might be able to let them see his ambition if he is pushed too hard. If he forces the Entente and Allied Powers together to resist his temptation, he will be in trouble.
That's why he deliberately wanted the British to capture Hamburg. This city is only more than 200 kilometers away from Berlin, and now that Germany is empty, it is absolutely impossible for the British to resist the temptation to capture Berlin. Even if China joins the war, they will still be able to seize Berlin.
There is a chance for a comeback. Because by occupying Berlin, we can force Germany to surrender before the Chinese army reinforcements arrive in Europe. At that time, it will just be more favorable terms for William. Now that it has reached that point, William will not mind half-promotion and half-sale.
China. If Germany surrenders to other countries such as Austria and Hungary, it will be impossible to continue fighting. These guys are not fools, so that the Allies can free up their hands and go all out to resist China.
At that time, the Allied Powers combined a total of more than 10 million troops. Not to mention fighting, even scaring China back. At least in Yang Feng's mind, he would definitely do this if he were in the position of the Allied Powers at that time.
"The next step is to see if the Germans can keep their capital." Li Yuncong looked at the map and said with a look of wisdom unique to people like him. The Chief of Army General Staff naturally understands His Majesty the Emperor's complete strategy.
"What's the problem if he can't hold it? It's nothing more than a one-on-one challenge against the Allied Powers. Do you still think we can't do it one-on-one? If ten million troops are not enough, then twenty million will be needed. We have a population of 500 million and a reserve force of 50 million. The world
The largest military-industrial system in the world, let alone a small Europe, is enough for the whole world." Emperor Yang said calmly.
He really didn't care about this. It would be great if William could hold Berlin. Then the Ottoman Empire would join the war and China would send him 500,000 reinforcements. The war in Europe could continue until China occupied all of Asia and then used its huge
His army is crushing Europe. If he can't hold Berlin, the worst he can do is let the Emperor find a wartime companion to continue to resist, just like the bald man in history, even if he just can't hold on and surrender, or let him
When my uncle was caught and spanked, it was nothing more than China pushing Europe flatly.
Just like His Majesty the Emperor himself said, it’s not like he can’t push it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
