    (Many people say that I did not explain the protagonist¡¯s emotional line. I promise that I will give you a non-stallion happy ending in the final chapter. Just look at it!)

    For a long time, the Soviet Russians' crazy move to withdraw from the war at the risk of self-inflicted harm and the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty", which historians call the direct trigger of the Second World War, have been criticized by the Allied Powers. It seems that the Soviet Russians have  If we are a little more stubborn, the balance of victory will completely tip to the great Allied Powers.

    Facts have proved that this is just the obscenity of the Allied people.

    At the end of September, the Japanese sent their peace signal to Berlin through Switzerland, but the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs led by K¨¹hlmann pushed back with a super tough attitude.

    The Swiss, who acted as special envoys to Japan, originally thought that Germany would easily let go of Japan, which was willing to give up Jiaozhou Bay and all German Pacific colonies. The reason was very good. Three years of brutal war had exhausted the entire Europe. It was supposed to be the last step that broke the camel's back.  Because the Americans who had no straw suffered a decisive defeat in the Battle of the Orkney Islands, they retreated to the Americas and became a turtle. The war continued to be stalemate in September 1917.

    In fact, the war at this point is no longer a pure contest of military literacy, mobilization capabilities, military technology, and strategic art. It is also the ultimate confrontation of the endurance and willpower of several powerful nations with glorious histories.  In this bayonet confrontation, Sealem used his wisdom to lead Germany out of the haze of the civil war, allowing Germany to gain the upper hand again after going through ups and downs.

    Now is the critical moment when it is time to chase the enemy. The Swiss do not believe that the Germans dare to distract themselves at this time.

    "The fact is that the Swiss ran into the stubborn German Foreign Ministry, and they also encountered trouble with General Hoffmann, the director of the German Army.  With no choice but to do so, the Swiss found Heidi Silem. As a result, the powerful Wang Heidi completely exposed his true colors as Germany's number one anti-Japanese faction and flatly refused to carry out any form of negotiation with the Japanese.

    The Swiss did not know that there was another time and space when Germany was defeated.  The F¨¹hrer brazenly sounded the clarion call for counterattack and reckoning, leading lonely Germany to the road to recovery. However, the German Foreign Ministry still remembered the humiliating Qingdao War in the context of the Third Reich's extraordinary need for the support of its allies, and remained unswervingly in the political life of the empire.  Playing the role of the mainstay of the domestic anti-Japanese faction.

    The German Army also maintained a disdainful attitude towards the Japanese. Only the navy led by Redl took a fancy to Japan's powerful fleet and reluctantly acted as a pro-Japanese faction. But now, as long as the naval officers and soldiers participated in the Battle of the Orkney Islands  They would not have any favorable impression of the Japanese who leased two Kongo-class battlecruisers from the British, let alone the historical anomaly Wang Heidi.

    After walking around, the Swiss who had been entrusted by others were somewhat disgraced.  There is still a lot of confusion.

    In 1917, although the Germans still firmly controlled several of their territories in Africa and had a tendency to expand their territories after two large-scale maritime aids from the German Navy, all of Germany's colonies in Asia had been lost.  Heidi Sealem is a genius.  The Ocean Fleet is invincible, and the Germans cannot brazenly fight in the Pacific without support and guarantees!

    The Swiss cannot think of a way that Germany can use to sanction Japan.  Until the Amsterdam negotiations that lasted from the cold winter of 1917 to the early spring of the next year.  As a participant in the war, Japan was classified as a third-tier country, juxtaposed with the unclear countries of Greece, China, and the top three South American countries that did not participate in the war. The Swiss suddenly realized this.

    The Swiss sent the news back to Japan. Although it did not cause a huge earthquake in the Kanto Plain, there was still shock and fear.

    The soldiers and politicians of the Empire of Japan did not believe that the Germans would go far across the ocean and cause trouble in the offshore waters of the Japanese archipelago.  But they never doubted the inevitability of the Germans returning to Asia.  The Japanese already have a Soviet Russia who will definitely tear up the agreement and break the tacit understanding as long as they regain their strength. They really don't want to create another powerful enemy for themselves in the Far East.

    On one side, the Japanese were thinking hard about how to end the war. On the other side, the Gallic Rooster finally couldn't hold on.  It collapsed in early autumn.

    After the Berlin Mutiny, the French were keenly aware of the intention of political reconciliation among the German factions. In order to resolve the Paris Mutiny as soon as possible and accumulate strength to deal with the German army's counterattack, the French government began to negotiate with the Paris rebels.

    This time, the French government kept a very low profile, but it did not expect that the rebels entrenched in Paris did not believe the sudden low profile of the French government, which had always been self-centered.

    In the late summer and early autumn, which are as precious as gold, the French government continued to be weak after four consecutive rounds of negotiations that ended in failure. After reaching an agreement with the Paris rebels, they wasted too much time sorting out the French army's command structure.  in the sameDuring this period, the German Republic was established, the Peace of Brest-Litovsk and the German-Polish Treaty were signed, and the German Marine Corps suddenly landed on the British island of Northern Ireland. The German Army continued to increase its troops on the French front line to intimidate France.

    Faced with this situation of internal and external difficulties, the French have to lower their arrogant heads and send out signals of goodwill.

    Of course, the French did not know that the German army gathered on the Western Front was not as terrifying as the Allies imagined.

    The Kiel Rebellion and the Schleswig Rebellion had a disastrous and devastating impact on imperial labor production. After the founding of the German Republic, the new government led by Albert unsurprisingly abolished some policies that exploited workers.  , coupled with the fact that the Republic never had another military genius as energetic and capable as Ludendorff, the empire's military demand production decreased instead of increasing in a short period of time.

    The supplies accumulated by the German troops gathered on the Western Front were not enough to launch a large-scale campaign, and the military strength on the Western Front was far from ideal.

    Naturally, the overwhelmed French do not know these secrets, so they have to make difficult decisions. If they want the German Army to stop, France must pay something. It may be North Africa, it may be the northern territories of the mainland, it may be  It may be Indochina, or it may be an astronomical compensation. No matter which one it is, it will be an unbearable burden for France.

    Germany readily accepted the goodwill of the French and easily ceded the territory north of Paris.  Checks conveying interests in Morocco and Libya in North Africa, Indochina, and several islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

    The French will obviously not accept the Germans' big mouth, but even if the French are angry, they must continue the negotiation and hope that they can get something on the negotiating table that they cannot get on the battlefield, just like the above  Like the "Sino-French Treaty" of the century, one may hope that the French army with its glorious history can take advantage of the truce on the Western Front to achieve self-salvation from soul to body.

    The French were still struggling with the bottom line of the armistice. Unexpectedly, John Bull bowed his head and admitted defeat before them.

    To be honest, as a land power, the French may not really be afraid of fighting the German Army to the end, although France has lost its war potential.  But it may not be possible to drag the Germans to death in Paris, or other places south of Paris.  Rather than saying that the French have completely lost their will to fight, it is better to say that the French are afraid of destroying their local industrial essence and splendid history.

    The situation in the UK is completely different from that in France.

    The British are naturally not afraid of the prestigious German Army. After all, no matter how powerful the army is, they cannot swim across the English Channel. The only thing the British fear is the loss of sea power.

    The British Empire never imagined the day when the vast ocean would no longer belong to the Union Jack.  But what seemed impossible did happen.

    The Germans defeated the Royal Navy twice in a row under the same sea of ??stars!

    After the Battle of Orkney.  The British desperately reduced their forces.  The focus was on home defense, and they even looked at the "Existence Fleet" theory proposed by Tirpitz many years ago to look for possibilities to check and balance the Sealem fleet.

    When World War I first broke out, except for Wang Heidi, most German naval generals were not optimistic about a decisive naval battle with the British. They stubbornly believed that an "existing fleet" could effectively contain the British's huge main fleet.  .  The British, who have natural geographical advantages, are wavering between the glorious "Trafalgar-style decisive battle" and the realistic "remote blockade".

    After a reincarnation, the situation at sea was completely reversed.

    The Germans opened up sea transportation lines and firmly controlled the sea in the North Atlantic, while the weak British could only hide their remaining battleships in safe docks.  It is expected that the "extant grand fleet" can contain a considerable number of German battleships and prevent the British Empire from completely losing its sea control.

    The British expect the German Navy to stand still, but how could the Ocean Fleet with Heidi Seelem make such a low-level mistake.  Under the command of Wang Heidi, the German navy instigated the army to completely control the French coastline across the sea from the British, constantly encroaching on British mainland outlying islands such as the Orkney Islands, and infiltrating power into the chaotic Ireland, trying to gain a foothold.  place.

    In addition, the main fleet of the Ocean Fleet has been sweeping the British offshore waters for a long time. These slow-moving iron turtles do not pursue a beautiful encounter with the British battleships, but carry out the oppression to the end.  The reconnaissance fleet of the Ocean Fleet, led by the battle patrol, chased north in the vast Atlantic and Indian Oceans, completely paralyzing the British maritime transportation lines.

    For a time, the sea transportation lines of the British Empire were in smoke. The stunned British realized that the Germans had transformed General Jellicoe's "remote blockade" theory and returned it to them intact.?.

    In the desolate autumn, the cattle on the island of Great Britain were already suffering from hunger and cold. Suddenly, they heard the news that an ocean-going transport fleet was completely destroyed in the sea 150 nautical miles east of New York Harbor. John Bull finally couldn't hold on and turned around.  He raised the white flag coyly.

    In mid-October, three German Mackensen-class battle cruisers hunting near the U.S. coastline captured a transport convoy escorted by two temporarily modified Brave-class large light cruisers and two 10,000-ton armored cruisers.

    This is the only transport fleet destined for the UK recently.  Since the Germans started the blockade war, the number of merchant ships in the British Empire has plummeted, and foreign shipowners have regarded the trip to Britain as a dreadful trip. Except for a few domestic merchant ships, the fleet to and from British ports has almost completely disappeared.

    After a brief exchange of fire, the Mackensen-class battle cruisers once again achieved considerable results, especially the sinking of two Valiant-class large light cruisers equipped with 15-inch cannons.  Of course, the subsequent news that Britain had "admitted defeat" was even more delicious than the sinking of the Valorant.

    The war, the long war seems to be coming to an end soon!
