Chapter 553: The future layout of the Far East Group
As the Battle of the Somme gradually came to an end, the typical land battle in World War I ended with a positional battle with extremely heavy casualties on both sides. Although both sides invested a large amount of troops and weapons, the British and French coalition forces failed in the end of this war.
Breaking through the German defenses, they only advanced about 12 kilometers in the end.
However, the German army, which lost 530,000 people, completely lost 240 square kilometers of trench positions, and the balance of victory in World War I began to tilt. In the end, it did not increase the Allied group's chances of winning because the German army successfully intercepted the Allied Powers' strategic purpose.
But it has been verified from a certain aspect that in land battles, the tactic of carrying out multiple assaults in a narrow frontal area in an attempt to break through the enemy's defensive positions has little effect, and is very likely to consume a huge amount of one's own troops, weapons and ammunition.
, due to this battle, the effectiveness of some weapons was successfully proven.
After the battle, both sides began to equip a large number of heavy equipment and weapons, such as tanks, for position breakthroughs, and began to develop and produce countermeasure weapons, which inspired and promoted the vigorous development of military industrial production in various countries during and after World War I.
However, Li Ningyu, who has gradually transformed from a professional soldier, has a unique political perspective to view the Battle of the Somme, which directly led to the final results. Among them, the changes in the British government cabinet were the most eye-catching. George was appointed as the British Prime Minister.
The new prime minister formed a new British cabinet. This was the first cabinet after Edward VII ascended the throne. But no one knew that a young cabinet member had long been a pawn planted by the Far East Group. He would become the famous Prime Minister Churchill in the future.
Li Ningyu had two considerations for choosing Churchill. Firstly, because this man has absolute ability, and secondly because of his family and birth background. Churchill can be said to be a British aristocrat from birth, and has an absolutely qualified background, because his family is in
In 1702, he was made a duke by Queen Anne, ranking tenth in the British ducal family in the 19th century.
And Churchill's father is a core figure of the Conservative Party and the founder of the Conservative Party, which is mainly working class. He once served as the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the British Cabinet after the Prime Minister, but he could only become a pawn of the Far East Group. Mainly
Related to Churchill’s personal experience.
During Churchill's childhood, because his father was busy with politics and his mother was indulged in various social interactions, he received little care from his parents as a boy. However, he developed a deep relationship with his nanny and was sent to a school for children of aristocrats.
Later, Churchill gradually became the naughtiest, greediest, and worst-achieving student in the school. Therefore, he was often punished corporally by the teacher, which made his already rebellious heart even more intense.
After transferring schools again and again, there was still no improvement. Finally, as he grew older, Churchill entered the Royal Military Academy. Two years later, his father, who was gradually failing in politics, died young. In the same year, Churchill graduated from the military academy and served as a lieutenant officer.
However, Churchill, who had just graduated, took advantage of his vacation to visit Spain with his comrades. Finally, because of his father's relationship, Churchill was spotted by the British intelligence agency and began to be responsible for collecting intelligence on Spain.
In September 1899, Churchill went to South Africa as a reporter for the Post, ostensibly to cover the Anglo-Boer War. In fact, he went on a mission. However, while marching with the British soldiers, he was captured by the Boers. Under cruel words and deeds, he was captured by the Boers.
, in order to survive, Churchill had to become a double agent.
So with the cooperation of the Boers, they created a prison escape for Churchill alone. After the success, with the help of a British expatriate, Churchill escaped to the British Consulate. It was because of this incident that Churchill became famous in the UK.
After returning to China, Churchill, who was famous throughout the country, wisely seized this opportunity and entered the British political arena. At that time, Churchill did not know that the backer behind the Boers was the Far East Group.
Therefore, Churchill finally became an important chess piece of the Far East Group and was placed in the British cabinet, just like German Prime Minister Bismarck and US President McKinley. However, Li Ningyu is not too demanding about these heavyweight chess pieces. First of all, he will not let them go.
They betray their own country, and they will not be allowed to do things that harm their own nation. They just need them to secretly provide help to the Far East Group.
Therefore, after the British Liberal Party came to power, Churchill was appointed as Undersecretary of the British Overseas Colonial Affairs Department. The most important task during his tenure was to stabilize the situation in South Africa. Finally, with the secret help of the Far East Group, Churchill successfully promoted some countries in South Africa.
Obtaining autonomous status, in 1908, after the next British Prime Minister came to power, Churchill was appointed Secretary of Commerce and officially entered the core of the British Cabinet. During his tenure, he implemented compulsory worker unemployment and disability insurance (actually social security, Li Ning
Yujiao!), and constantly obstructed the British Navy from increasing its financial budget and investment.
In 1911, Churchill was successfully appointed as the British Lord of the Admiralty. After taking over, Churchill strictly required subordinate naval officers to strictly obey his authority. Any officer who did not submit to him would be dismissed. However, Churchill allowed junior officers and soldiers to criticize their superiors.
The remarks of the British Navy attracted praise from the grassroots, but made the other four Sea Lords of the British Admiralty dissatisfied.
After he took office as Lord of the Admiralty, Churchill suddenly seemed to be a different person. He changed his past style of blindly demanding reductions in British military expenditures and began to advocate a second naval arms race with Germany. The apparent purpose was to ensure that Britain
As for the navy, it had advantages that could not be challenged by the German navy.
However, during the outbreak of World War II in 1914, due to Churchill's approval of the plan to capture the Dardanelles Strait, the British Navy was ultimately unable to capture the Dardanelles Strait and paid a huge and painful price. The early stages of World War II
, all British advantages were suddenly lost, and Churchill eventually became the target of fierce attacks by the British Conservative Party, and was gradually excluded from the British core political circle. Finally, Churchill decided to resign voluntarily and rushed to the French front line to personally participate in the war.
But all of this was arranged by Li Ningyu behind the scenes. As for World War II, the British Navy's plan to capture the Dardanelles was mainly a combat plan against the Far East Navy, so it was bound to fail in the end, even if Churchill
If you don't help, the result will be the same. But why the Second World War occurred is actually the evil consequences planted by the European countries themselves.
