On the evening of March 17, Beijing time, Wang Yuze summoned General Staff Cai Yun, Navy! Minister Cheng and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo to learn about the latest battle situation.
The world war has begun for more than half a year, and the war has slowly entered a stalemate stage. The allies, especially the German army, have lost the spirit of the war when the war broke out. Although the German General Staff is still constantly planning a plan on the Western Front.
There was a battle, but the goal of defeating France was not only not closer, but instead became farther and farther away.
"Your Majesty, with the arrival of spring, the European battlefield became lively again. Last month, the Russians once again marched into the Matsu Lake area to attack East Prussia in Germany. However, they were once again employed by Hindenburg.
The 8th Legion beaten up and suffered heavy losses. However, the Russians quickly regained their face in the battle against Austria. The Russian army defeated the Austro-Hungarian army in Silesia and wiped out at least 300,000 enemies.
If the German reinforcements had not arrived, they would have been attacked by the Russians!" said Chief of Staff Cai Yun.
"These Austro-Hungarian troops are really too trash. They claim to be one of the European army powers. The equipment does not have to be bad for the Russians, but they are repeatedly beaten by the Russians on the battlefield. They still need to be beaten up by the Russians.
Only when the Germans help can stabilize the front. Germany has such allies to drag down, the prospects are not good - ah!" said Jiang Xingguo, Minister of Defense.
Wang Yuze nodded. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's performance in the war was indeed not very good. The main enemy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was Russia, but he was repeatedly defeated by Russia on the battlefield. The fuse of this war was not.
The Sarajevo incident, therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has not invaded the Balkans yet. However, with the help of the Germans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's performance on the battlefield will be completely different. Once the German army joins the battlefield, even if there are only a small number.
The German army joined the battlefield, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire's army could also burst out with strong combat power, thus cooperating with the German army to defeat Russia. Perhaps the Austro-Hungarian Empire's army is used to fighting a smooth battle! In fact, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's combat power was too poor, and they were
That bad command system is inseparable. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was originally a dual empire, composed mainly of Austria and Hungary, plus small countries such as Bohemia. Although the industrial strength is strong, the manufacturing industry and the arms industry are the most important.
Europe is only ranked behind Germany and Britain, but their army has a very poor combat power. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had more than 200 ethnic groups and 1 language, which made it very difficult for the generals of the army to command the troops to fight.
The problem of language barrier is enough to exhaust the energy of a general. From the perspective of combat power alone, in the entire world war, only the Italian army's combat power is weaker than that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"Where are the Germans?" Wang Yuze asked. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a powerful country, it did not play a big role in this world war and was almost an optional role. China is most concerned about Germany.
"The Battle of Artuva initiated by the German General Staff has begun. This time, the German army assembled more than 60 divisions and millions of troops, hoping to open up the road to Paris again. However, the defense of the British and French coalition forces is also
It is very strong. It is probably not that easy for the German army to break through the defense line of the British and French coalition forces. The General Staff estimated that the German army would achieve certain results this time, but it would be difficult to achieve the goal!" Cai Yun said.
Wang Yuze also agrees with this view. This has almost become a practice in the early stages of the war. The German army often achieved tactical victory, but it was difficult to succeed strategically. As more and more French troops mobilized
A large number of British expeditionary forces also crossed the strait and entered France to fight, which made it increasingly difficult for Germany to defeat France!
"Where is the German Navy? The war has been starting for more than half a year. They have been staying in the port forever, will they not continue like this?" Wang Yuze asked. In the war he was familiar with, the German Navy was carried in the port for two years before it was held in the port.
A decisive battle with the British Navy.
"Your Majesty, according to the news we have received, the German Navy may have a decisive battle with the British Navy in the first half of this year. Before May, all four Bavarian-class battleships of the German Navy will be put into service, and the British Navy's Elizabeth
Queen-class battleships may not be able to be put into service until the second half of the year. Moreover, the number of Queen-class battleships built by the British Navy is five subsequent Revenge class, and there are five battleships. Once these battleships are put into service, Germany will not
There will be any chance again. Therefore, putting the decisive battle in the first half of this year is also the only chance for Germany!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng.
Wang Yuze nodded and said, "So, do the Germans have the courage to fight the British Navy to a decisive battle?"
You should know that in terms of the number of main battleships, the German Navy cannot take advantage of it at all. Now the German Navy! The main military has 8 Nassau-class, battleships, 8 Helgolan-class, battleships, and battleships.
'Caesar class, battleships, 4' King class, battleships and 4' Bavarian class, battleships, a total of 29. There are 8 battleships, including 3 Feng.
De.
The Tann-class battlecruiser (Von der Tann, Schánhorst, and the improved Seedlitz), two Moltch-class battlecruisers (Moltch, Goben),
3 Defringer-class battlecruisers (Defringer, Luzov, Hindenburg). The German Navy's enemy, the British Royal Navy, had a great advantage in number, they owned one
'Default Class, Battleship (the other five 'Default Class, Battleships have been sunk or captured by China in the Battle of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Naval), 6 'Berrofon Class, Battleships, 6 'Saint Vincent Class, Battleships
, 4 Neptune, Battleship, 3 Giant, Battleship, 4 Orion, Battleship, 4 King George V, Battleship, 7 Iron Duke, Battleship, and 5 more
The Queen Elizabeth class, battleships and 5 battleships, battleships are in the process of work. Even if it is not included in the Queen Elizabeth class, battleships and 5 battleships
'Revenge class, battleship, the Royal Navy also has 35 battleships. In addition, the Royal Navy also has NC battlecruisers, including 3 Invincible Class battlecruisers (Invincible, Indecisive, Indomitable), and 3 Indomitable
Class battlecruiser (Detective, New Zealand, Australia), four lion-class battlecruisers (Lion, Royal Princess, Queen Mary, and Improved Tiger). In contrast, the German Navy
The chance of winning is indeed not great. However, there are many factors in naval battles. If God favors the Germans, maybe they can turn the tables.
"Since the decisive battle between the German Navy and the British Navy is about to begin, we cannot neglect it. This may be the largest decisive battle of the navy in history. The Navy Department will send an observation team to observe this decisive battle!" Wang Yuze said.
Although the Chinese Navy has determined the route to take the aircraft carrier, battleships are still the well-deserved main force in the Chinese Navy. It is also very necessary to observe the decisive battle at sea between Britain and Germany. Of course, what Wang Yuze hopes to see is the British
The Navy and the German Navy would be best to lose both sides this time, and such a result is the most beneficial to China.
"Yes, your Majesty! Deputy Minister of the Navy and President of the Navy University, Marshal Deng Shichang, will go to Germany as a delegation we sent to observe this naval battle. They will set out early next month and go to Germany from the Persian Gulf via the Baghdad Railway!"
Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng said.
"Well! That's good! By the way, what about the Italians? The war has begun for more than half a year. What did they think? Should they follow the treaty, join the allies, or betray the treaty, join the allies, and join the allies to fight?" Wang Yuze asked.
Dao. One of Italy's allies is so shameless. When Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had already fought with the Allies, they still wanted to be fences and ask for prices on both sides. Although the relationship between countries
Among them, interests are the most important. But there are indeed not many shameless people like Italy.
"Italy is still hesitating. Both Germany and Britain and France are still fighting for Italy. However, Italy's asking price is getting higher and higher. They have taken a fancy to the land of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely not give it a chance.
These lands were handed over to Italy. Germany would not offend the Austro-Hungarian Empire for Italy. Therefore, the General Staff estimated that Italy would eventually betray the alliance and join the Allies to fight. The reason why they have not yet made a statement is probably the situation of war
It's not clear enough! And this decisive battle between the German Navy and the British Navy that has already exploded may be a weather vane. If the German Navy wins, Italy should continue to remain neutral or join the Allies to fight. Once the British Navy wins
If so, Italy might declare war on the allies immediately!" Cai Yun analyzed.
"Well! It seems that everyone has set their sights on this sea decisive battle between England and Germany!" Wang Yuze said. He didn't know who would win this sea decisive battle between England and Germany.
The Battle of Jutland, although the British navy lost more warships, the German navy won tactical victory. However, the German navy was unable to break through the British navy's blockade until the end of the war. Now the German navy is stronger, the German navy is in a stronger position.
Wang Yuze is not sure whether he can win. It can be said that the climax on the European battlefield is coming!
