    Although there is no airtight wall in the world, the performance of the Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces on the Eastern Front battlefield in early August 1918 and the strange situation it caused still made the Western Front powers of the Allied Powers take a breath. The Eastern Front commanded by the King of China  The coalition first captured Kharkov in less than a week after a devastating defeat, and then retreated steadily under the harsh weather of heavy rain. They retreated from Yekaterinoslav to Kharkov in one fell swoop, and even put on a show of force.  Give up the Kharkov attitude.

    Although the Ukrainian National Army and the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division suffered heavy losses in the battle to defend Kharkov, the German 10th Group in Ukraine later launched a beautiful counterattack under the command of Wilhelm Greiner and almost encircled them.  After destroying the Kharkov cluster of the Southwest Front of the Allied Eastern Front, there was even a division left to raid the important town of Kursk in the west of the Federation through Soviet Russia"".

    It is said that the Allies are not the only ones waiting to see the excitement of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front. The American, British and French generals in the Western Front have long been hoping that the Germans can give the King of China and his Eastern Front Allied Forces, whose performance in the previous stage has been so exaggerated, a  Lesson learned, the Sino-Japanese-Russian allied forces, which only invested 200,000 main troops on the Eastern Front, won the glorious victory in the Battle of Ufa in the autumn wind and swept the fallen leaves, not counting!

    It actually established a Volga Federation with a territory of more than 1 million square kilometers, and actually took over the Don River and the Caucasus!  Not only did China produce oil and become the largest oil producer in Asia, but it also acquired two oil fields in the North Caucasus, and the Southern Front, under the command of General Wu, was very capable of taking down the Baku oil field in one go!

    It is definitely not only Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria in the Allied camp who are waiting to see the joke of the Sino-Japanese alliance. The United States, Britain and France are responsible for the main combat tasks on the Western Front. They are all waiting for the King of China and his rapidly expanding Eastern Front Allied Forces to collide with Ukraine.  The hard rock of the German army!

    So when the German 10th Army commanded by General Wilhelm Greiner almost encircled and annihilated the Kharkov Group commanded by Taro Utsunomiya on the line from Ekaterinoslav to Krasnora, almost all the coalition generals on the Western Front  They all held back their breaths and were both nervous and excited. They both hoped that the Germans would teach the arrogant Eastern Front Allied Forces a lesson, but they also didn¡¯t want Utsunomiya Taro¡¯s group to be completely annihilated

    The power of the Eastern Front Allied Forces' aviation fleet has been exaggerated. This is the unanimous view of the Western Front Allied Forces generals. The German army and the main forces of the United States, Britain and France were confronting each other on the Western Front. In which battle, thousands of fighter planes from both sides were fighting and bombing frantically overhead.  The Chinese Air Force of the Western Front Allied Forces was able to achieve huge air superiority with only a few hundred fighter planes. This made the Western Front Allied Forces generals especially the sour grapes mentality of the Air Force generals.

    In this era, the dispatch of the air force was seriously affected by bad weather, especially heavy rain and thunder and lightning. Therefore, after the Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces lost their overwhelming air superiority in the Ukrainian battlefield, they could not defeat the German army, which had greater military and firepower than the Germans.  Nothing more than normal

    But no one could have imagined that although the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers that entered the Ukrainian battlefield retreated to Kharkov on the northern front, they took over the Donbas oil fields on the southern front. Although the German army and the Ukrainian National Army took the initiative to abandon Donbas.  Slovak coalfields, but the fall of Donetsk and Luhansk still surprised both the Allies and the Allies

    The next situation was extremely strange. Starting from August 11, the entire Eastern Front battlefield calmed down. The German 10th Army withdrew its main force to Yekaterinoslav and Kiev, while the Soviet Red Army and Gore behind it  At the same time, the Chak White Guards stopped large-scale military operations on the battlefield. Intelligence showed that special envoys and secret envoys from all parties swarmed towards Samara through butterfly yiyang. Obviously, those who lost the second phase of the battle in Kharkov  The Front Alliance, or the Volga Federation, and their enemies have attempts to sit down and negotiate.

    August 16, 1918, 8:00, Samara, Eastern Front Allied Forces Headquarters of the Allied Powers, Office of the King of China

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the U.S. Secretary of State's urgent message, on behalf of the U.S. government, inquires about the next phase of the action plan of our Eastern Front Allied Forces, and expresses that due to the extremely tense situation on the Western Front, the number of U.S. troops embarking on ships and crossing the ocean to the French battlefield every day has reached  At a rate of 10,000 people per day, food and supplies are limited by the capacity of the ocean transport fleet. In the short term, priority can only be given to the Atlantic route and the Western Front battlefield, and the supply to the Pacific route and the Eastern Front battlefield will be reduced! "

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, an urgent message from the Western Front Allied Forces Headquarters of the Allied Powers. Since the concentration of German troops on the Western Front battlefield is nearly completed, it is judged that the main German army will launch an autumn offensive within 3 to 5 days. Currently, the Western Front Allied Forces are short of supplies and ammunition, so it is necessary to replenish them.  In place, the Eastern Front Allied Forces are required to resume their offensive as soon as possible and strive to bring the main force of the German army back to the Eastern Front! "

    ¡°Report, the British Foreign Office issued an urgent telegram, requesting the Volga Federation to clarify the rumors that have appeared on the Eastern Front recently. Before the Allied Powers achieve the final victory, no member will?Negotiate peace with the Allies alone!  "

    "Report, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent an urgent message, requesting the Volga Federation to confirm that it strictly abides by the Allied Charter and will not conduct separate negotiations or secret communications with the Allies!"

    "Report, Prime Minister Duan called to inquire about the coalition's next action plan on the Eastern Front, and hinted whether it is necessary to obtain an understanding with the United States, Britain and France in advance. Do we need to inform the Americans first?!"

    "Report, General Secretary Xu called, reminding the Eastern Front Allied Forces that they only have so much financial resources, and must not serve as cannon fodder for the United States, Britain and France, otherwise our participating troops will not be enough to fill the German trenches"

    The beautiful female confidential officer of the Confidential Department sent several urgent messages that had just been translated in a short time. Apparently, the news that Wang Geng and the Volga Federation were negotiating peace with the Germans and Soviet Russia on the Eastern Front was not a secret. It was just China.  The king's reputation is now at its peak, not to mention in Asia and the Far East, even in the world. The governments of the great powers really do not dare to mobilize troops to investigate crimes as aggressively as they did in the early years. Within a year and a half, the Sino-Japanese Alliance and the Allied Powers on the Eastern Front have become an international alliance.  He is a very important force on the stage. He has no problem offending anyone, but he cannot offend Wang Geng, the uncrowned king of Asia!

    Whether it is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister of France, or even the President of the United States, their terms are only once every four or five years. Many people even have to resign after serving less than one term. However, this new Asian giant, the China-Japan Alliance, is different.  , the feudal imperial ideology and the autocratic system of the family world lasted for more than two thousand years. Yuan Shikai's original achievements were far inferior to the current Chinese king. If he really wants to be the emperor, I'm afraid no one can stop him Naturally,  There are many ways of dictatorship, and proclaiming emperor is the stupidest one The king of China will not throw away signs like republic and democracy easily.

    But this does not prevent him from becoming the uncrowned king that everyone expects. In the past, people said that Wang Geng was Prime Minister Duan's default son-in-law. Now people have to say that Prime Minister Duan can only openly act as the prime minister of the cabinet because he knows people well at the beginning.  It's a good idea to take precautions and get together with Ziji's son-in-law Wang Geng.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, if the Americans cut off the aid of food and arms supplies, then our Eastern Front Allied Forces will have a difficult time. Will the pace of accepting the Russian Autonomous Republic of Moscow and Petrograd into the federation have to be delayed? Otherwise, I  But we can't feed the tens of millions more mouths!" Logistics commander Jiang Hongyu frowned.
