    After Spain was quickly eliminated by China, another country on the Iberian Peninsula, the Kingdom of Portugal, no longer had the strength to confront China!  Compared to the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal only has a population of over five million.  Although they plan to expand the army to 600,000 men!  But by the time Spain was defeated, Portugal's military expansion was only 60% completed!  If you want to rely on more than 300,000 people to resist the powerful Chinese army, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky!  What's more, six 'Hanxin-class' battleships of the 23rd Task Force of the Chinese Navy's Second Fleet also appeared off the coast of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, which caused a huge shock to the Kingdom of Portugal!

    Although King Manuel II of the Kingdom of Portugal hated China very much, at this time of life and death, he still made the right choice!  Manuel no longer wanted to be a subjugated slave. When the revolution broke out in the Kingdom of Portugal, he lived in exile overseas for many years. The experience of those days was something he would never forget.  Therefore, King Manuel II insisted on surrendering to China despite strong opposition from Germany!  For a small country like Portugal, it would be very unwise to get involved in such a large-scale war!  If we can make some gains by following the big countries, then that's fine.  But if the war situation is unfavorable, we should still proceed from the interests of our country!

    After the surrender of the Kingdom of Portugal, the entire Iberian Peninsula fell under the control of China!  The Holy Alliance's threat to the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar has also been completely eliminated!  The Chinese Navy's Second Fleet and Third Fleet were able to restore unimpeded communication.  This makes China's control over the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea even tighter!

    And the surrender of the Kingdom of Portugal.  It is a huge shock to the entire Holy Alliance and even the world!  Major member states of the Holy Alliance.  Only Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Portugal!  Among them, the first three countries are the main countries in the Holy Alliance, while the latter three countries are relatively weak.  However, half of the countries that are members of the Holy Alliance have surrendered to China, which will be a huge blow to the various members of the Holy Alliance!  People in various countries are also full of doubts about whether they can defeat China and the Eastern Alliance led by China.  no doubt.  This will have a serious impact on the Holy Alliance's war will.  In addition, many neutral countries in the world originally had their own views on this war!  Although they did not participate in the war, this did not prevent them from using the war to make huge wealth.  Originally, these neutral countries thought that this would be a protracted war!  The power gap between the Holy Alliance and the Eastern Alliance is not large.  Of course, it is difficult for the Holy Alliance to defeat the Eastern Alliance!  But similarly, if the Eastern Alliance wants to win, I'm afraid they will also pay the price of reference!  If this is the case, other neutral countries may have a chance to breathe!  However, the current development of the war situation.  It was quite beyond their expectations!  If the Holy Alliance is defeated quickly, the entire world will be ruled by the Chinese.  By the time.  All countries can only act based on the face of the Chinese people.  Many neutral countries are already considering whether it is time to show goodwill to China and improve relations between the two sides!  Some countries even think that they can join the Eastern Alliance and catch the last train of the victorious country.  This not only shows goodwill to China, but also will receive generous benefits when the victorious countries distribute world interests in the future!  The current world situation is very unfavorable for Germany and even the entire Holy Alliance!

    On February 2, Kaiser Wilhelm II held an emergency meeting at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam to discuss how Germany should respond to the current crisis.  In addition to Wilhelm II, the meeting was attended by Crown Prince Wilhelm, Prime Minister Hollweg, Foreign Minister Stresemann, Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Falkenhayn, and Minister of Navy Tirpi.  Marshal Ci, Air Force Commander General Schultz!

    These people think that Admiral Schultz is under the greatest pressure!  In the past few days, the Chinese Air Force has been continuously bombing cities and industrial areas in Germany!  A large number of long-range bombers of the Chinese Air Force dropped tons of bombs in groups, which had a great impact on Germany!  Although limited by the range and scale, the total air force bombing has not had any substantial impact on China.  However, this also made people in Germany panic!  Many Germans are very dissatisfied that the country cannot protect their safety and allows the Chinese Air Force to bomb them!  Some people in the military also asked Air Force Commander General Schultz to explain this or take responsibility!

    In fact, Admiral Schultz was also very helpless!  The gap between the German Air Force and the Chinese Air Force is too big. The main fighter of the German Air Force, the Hurricane 4 fighter, is simply not the opponent of many Chinese Air Force fighters, whether it is the F10 "Lightning" heavy fighter.Whether it's a plane or an F11 'Vulture' fighter, they can easily ravage the German Air Force's Hurricane 4 fighter!  The German Air Force often needs three to four aircraft to replace one Chinese aircraft.  Coupled with the heavy losses suffered by the German Air Force in several previous operations, this made it impossible for them to stop the Chinese Air Force's strategic bombing of Germany before new fighters and new pilots grew up!

    "Gentlemen! The current situation is very unfavorable to us! Italy has surrendered, and the Chinese are rampaging on the Iberian Peninsula! Even their planes are bombing us every day! We can no longer allow this to happen.  Yes, we must fight back! You are all senior leaders of the Imperial Army. I hope that the army, navy and air force can come up with a plan as soon as possible to fight back against the Chinese and destroy their arrogance!" Kaiser Wilhelm  The second generation looked at everyone and said!  Although he knows that the current situation is largely caused by the strength gap between the two sides!  However, he also knew that if this situation could not be changed, Germany would be in big trouble!

    "Father! I think we should launch a large-scale counterattack against the Chinese! We cannot continue like this! In the Eastern European plains, we have assembled a large number of troops, and with the addition of the Russian army, we are fully capable  Fight a large-scale counterattack against the Chinese!" Crown Prince William also said!  He once cheered for the outbreak of the war. After the German Air Force successfully attacked the Chinese Air Force and the Chinese Air Force, he once boasted that Germany and the Holy Alliance would soon win the war.  But the subsequent development of the battle situation undoubtedly gave him a severe slap in the face.  However, even if he doesn't want to believe it, the facts are right in front of him, so he can't help but not believe it!

    "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The Army has initially completed pre-war preparations! So far, 70% of our mobilization has been completed! Russia has also completed half of its mobilization! Moreover, we have already assembled on the plains of Eastern Europe  We have 1.5 million troops, and Russia has also assembled 3 million troops! In at most one week, the war supplies needed for the front line will be ready! By then, we will attack the central forces east of the Volga River  The team launches a decisive attack! Completely advance the front to the Ural River!" said Marshal Falkenhayn, German Army Minister and Chief of General Staff.  If the Chinese army can be severely damaged in the Volga River, this will undoubtedly be very beneficial to Germany!  At least, China's main energy will be put on the Eastern European plains, thereby reducing the pressure on Germany on other fronts!

    William II nodded, he was quite satisfied with the army¡¯s preparations!  In his view, Germany needs a large-scale counterattack to break the current deadlock and completely reverse the current unfavorable situation!

    "Your Majesty! But we need the support of the air force! If we don't have air superiority, it will be very difficult for us to break through the Chinese defense line on the east bank of the Volga River!" Marshal Falkenhayn saw the approval of Kaiser Wilhelm II.  , took the opportunity to make a request.

    "General Schulz, the Air Force must fully support the Army's counterattack!" Kaiser Wilhelm II directly ordered!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! In view of the fact that the Air Force is now facing great pressure from domestic air defense! The Air Force can provide up to 3 wings of fighters and 3 wings of bombers for this operation of the Army! As for the rest, the Army has to find a way on its own  Got it!" Admiral Schultz said!

    Marshal Falkenhayn nodded. The Air Force dispatched 3 wings of fighters and 3 wings of bombers, which already satisfied him!  The German Army's own aviation force also has many fighter planes!

    This large-scale counterattack has nothing to do with the German Navy!  The German Navy is currently competing with China for air supremacy over the British Isles and the North Sea!  However, as China deploys more and more fighter planes in Ireland, the losses of the German naval aviation are increasing, and the pressure on them is increasing!  As for the German Navy's fleet, it has retreated to the eastern part of the North Sea and only dares to operate under the protection of shore-based aviation.  Before the next batch of 'Hohenzollern-class' aircraft carriers enter service, the German Navy has not yet challenged the strength of the Chinese Navy!  Even after the 'Hohenzollern-class' aircraft carriers entered service, the German Navy only had 15 aircraft carriers, which was barely able to form an advantage over the Chinese Navy's Second Fleet and Third Fleet!  Of course, the prerequisite is that the Chinese Navy will not dispatch more fleets from the mainland to the eastern waters of the Atlantic Ocean!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
