"The Germans, from ancient times to the present, have been a nation of great integrity. The German Empire is also an empire of integrity. We have always firmly fulfilled the treaties we signed and have never abandoned them! Today, I

We must tell all citizens of the German Empire that the covenant we signed with the Chinese Empire will continue to be fulfilled. The war will continue! The great German Empire will not be frightened or fearful just because of a small setback.

Compromise with our enemies

! I firmly believe that the final victory will definitely belong to the German Empire!" Kaiser Wilhelm II delivered a public speech in front of the Palace in Berlin on June 29, 1912. This was also the first time that German officials caused damage to the High Seas Fleet.

After the disastrous defeat, Germany expressed its views on the war. After reaching an agreement with China and obtaining a lot of benefits from China, Germany has strengthened its determination to continue the war. This also allows history to continue to develop according to its previous trajectory.

"Long live! Long live His Majesty the Kaiser! Long live the German Empire! Victory must belong to the German Empire!" The fanatical German people cheered after listening to William II's speech.

Not far from the palace, Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, Navy Marshal Deng Shichang and Chinese Ambassador to Germany Liang Cheng all laughed. They had worked hard for so many days and China had paid so much to finally let Germany choose to general

If the war continues, then the pressure on China will be much less. Although it has paid a lot of price now, after the war is over, China will definitely be able to get back everything with profits.

Unlike the Chinese side's joy, the day after Kaiser Wilhelm II's speech, U.S. Vice President Woodrow.

Wilson left London on a U.S. warship. Several battleships from the U.S. Navy's expeditionary fleet also returned home. Those severely damaged battleships have returned home after preliminary repairs. These battleships all need to be on the slipway.

It took two or three months of lying down before he could return to the fleet.

Woodrow.

Vice President Wilson returned in vain this time. Although he had a good start, he persuaded the British and the stubborn France. But he did not expect that the Germans would be so shameless and still refuse to bow. This is directly

Let America's wishful thinking prevail

Wrong, from now on, the United States has to fight tooth and nail. With the restraint of Germany, Britain and France cannot dispatch too many troops to fight China. The heavy responsibility of resisting China falls on the United States. If the United States does not try its best,

I'm afraid the only thing that will happen is the country will be destroyed.

In addition, originally Woodrow.

Vice President Wilson is preparing to use this plan to greatly enhance his personal reputation in the United States. But now it seems that this is still not feasible. Although the U.S. government has been controlled by the Democratic Party, once the United States resists

After China's attack, as President Theodore.

Roosevelt will definitely become a hero of the people, even as good as Washington, the first president of the United States. If the Republican Party competes with the Democratic Party for the presidential election, it is hard to say whether the Democratic Party can win. Of course, the prerequisite is that the United States must resist China.

attack, otherwise, once the United States is destroyed, everything will be empty talk.

As for whether the United States can withstand China's attack, Woodrow.

Vice President Wilson also had no idea. Although the Chinese army is currently stopped in central Mexico, everyone knows that the Chinese are making preparations for the attack. Once the preparations are completed, they will definitely launch a new round of attack. By then, the United States will

Can you still withstand it? The previous series of disastrous defeats really made Woodrow.

It’s hard for Vice President Wilson to maintain confidence!

U.S. Vice President Woodrow.

After Wilson sadly returned home, Europe was once again shrouded in the clouds of war. The battlefield that had been in truce for nearly a month became lively again. When Germany announced that it would continue to fight, French President Clément.

Armand.

Farier even cursed the Germans at the Elysée Palace for their ignorance of good and evil. He also demanded that the French army must drive the German army out of French territory and invade German territory to completely destroy Germany and avenge its previous humiliation.

After that, the British and French forces took the initiative to launch a large-scale attack on the German army. However, after a month of rest, the German army not only strengthened its position, but also mobilized a large number of troops from the rear, making the front line troops more sufficient. In this way

Under such circumstances, the British and French allied forces could not help but suffer a bloody blow in front of the strong German positions, leaving behind

With corpses all over the place, they finally had to retreat to their own positions. The German army's originally low morale recovered a lot after this victory. Although the navy's defeat gave the German army confidence in the future

They are no longer so determined, but at least on land, they can still beat the British and French forces everywhere!

In the Downing Street Prime Minister's Office in London, England, Prime Minister Asquith convened several important cabinet members to discuss Britain's next strategy. Germany refused to make peace, so in addition to cooperating with France to continue fighting Germany, Britain would strive to defeat Germany.

, and there was no other way. At the same time, this also frustrated Britain's desire to attack China first with the power of the Allies.

"Everyone, the Germans are unwilling to withdraw from the war now, so we have to try our best to defeat them. This has greatly affected our plan to march into Asia. What should we do next?" Asqui

Prime Minister Sri Lanka asked. Originally, he had planned that after Germany withdrew from the war, Britain would dispatch its navy and France

Deploy the army to fight another war in the Middle East, and then gradually advance eastward. But now, this plan is inevitably aborted. The French Army must devote all its forces to the war against Germany, and the British Army must also fully support France. As for the British Navy,

The main force will also remain in the North Sea to continue blockading Germany, and will be unable to advance eastwards for a long time.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, yesterday morning, the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy attacked our Indian Fleet. Several old battleships of the Indian Fleet were sunk, and many other armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers were also sunk. The remaining battleships

, they all fled to Australia! We have no more naval warships in the northern Indian Ocean!" Secretary of the Navy John.

Sir Fisher said.

"Damn it! The Chinese are going to attack India. Although we have millions of troops in India, most of them are Indian soldiers. It will be very difficult for them to resist the Chinese attack!

"Colonial Secretary George.

Nathaniel.

Marquis Curzon said with an ugly expression. India is Britain's most important colony, and the wealth plundered from India every year has become an important source of Britain's war expenses. If India is lost, Britain's war potential will be further reduced.

"Marquis Curzon, how many troops do we have in India? If the Chinese launch an attack on India, can we defend it?" Prime Minister Asquith asked. Obviously, he also realized that the Chinese did not seem to intend to continue.

Peaceful coexistence with Britain has gone down. Although China's main power is used on the United States, in front of China, India is still like a ripe peach. As long as the Chinese want it, it can easily

can be extracted.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have a total of 200,000 troops in India. In addition, the Indian soldiers have been armed with 1.4 million. However, the Indian soldiers have low combat effectiveness and it is difficult to play any role!" Marquis Curzon replied

.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, now we have no choice but to transport as many weapons and ammunition to India as possible and arm as many Indian soldiers as possible. India has a population of more than 300 million. If it can arm up to tens of millions

soldiers. In addition, India also has some arsenals that can produce bullets and small-caliber artillery shells. We can transport some machinery and equipment there to expand this

The production capacity of some arsenals. In this way, even after the Chinese blockade India, we can continue to fight! Although the Indian soldiers have low combat effectiveness, with their huge numerical advantage, they will definitely be able to cause huge casualties to the Chinese. As long as they can

Delay for more time, and after we defeat Germany, we can send troops to India!" Secretary of War Winston.

Churchill suggested that defending India, which is far away from the British mainland, is really a troublesome problem, especially when the Suez Canal is already under China's control.

"Okay! Tell the Governor-General of India, Baron Harding, that you must persist until the reinforcements arrive, and you cannot let the Chinese occupy India so easily!" Prime Minister Asquith said. The Chinese attempted to attack India, which made him feel extremely

Big crisis.

"Sir Fisher, where is the navy? When can the navy send a fleet to India or Australia?" Prime Minister Asquith asked. The British navy defeated the German navy, which made him have more expectations for the navy.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there are only 18 battleships left in the navy that can continue to operate. There is only one battlecruiser. Until the damaged battleships are completely repaired, we can only blockade Germany. If we want to send a fleet to Asia,

We have to wait until the damaged battleship is repaired. And this will take about half a year!" John.

Sir Fisher said.

Although the British Navy defeated the German Navy, its own losses were not small. In particular, many battleships and battlecruisers were damaged and needed repairs. This seriously weakened the British Navy's combat effectiveness.
