Affairs between countries are full of intrigue, far less simple than it seems on the surface, nor is it black or white.

Guided by the Ocean Empire's scientific and technological development policy, the booming AC motors and power station equipment, electronic and electrical appliance industries are changing with each passing day, and various inventions and innovations are emerging one after another. It has become an important industry in the national economy that cannot be ignored and is leading the way around the world.

Vacuum tube radios, radio stations, washing machines, bread machines, sewing machines, refrigeration equipment and elevators, electric equipment, etc. have developed rapidly with the support of scientific and technological policies and have become a new business card for the imperial industrial field.

The Western world, led by Britain, France, the United States and Germany, is trapped in the quagmire of war. It has no time to consider these irrelevant inventions, nor has it energy. The funds and resources are focused on the electronics and motor industries. What they need is more cannons and ammunition, tanks, aircraft and warships, and the new zero-type semi-automatic rifle of the Ocean Empire.

In order to prepare for the Battle of the Somme, Britain and France and other Allies imported 750,000 zero-type semi-automatic rifles, 8,200 Type 3 light machine guns, and 5 billion rounds of bullets. Related orders will be shipped one after another within 8 months.

The total number of zero-type semi-automatic rifles delivered today is 180,000, most of which come from strategic inventory, but the French are already impatient. They are under too much pressure on the Verdun front and urgently need to open up a new battlefield in the Somme.

This year is 16 years and the year of decisive battle.

Berlin, Germany

In the Hohenzollern court, the German Emperor William II, who had two gauntlets of Prussian beards, stood in front of a large military map, listening to his chief of staff, Fakinhan, explaining the current situation of the war.

"The Imperial Command has sufficient evidence to determine that the British and French proposed a plan to launch a large-scale counterattack in the Somme region north of Verdun, in an attempt to shake the situation where our army has the upper hand.

The British and French did not hide this. They invested 11 British divisions under the British Fourth Army, the main forces of five French divisions in the Somme region, and more British expeditionary forces were invested in this direction.

The current army gathered in the Somme has more than 27 divisions, mainly British people, with a total of 19 divisions, and this number is still increasing.

On the Eastern Front Battlefield

The Brusinov assault campaign launched by the Tsarist Russian army in April caused serious damage to our Austro-Hungarian allies and the German army on the Eastern Front. They had to draw 13 German divisions from the Western Front to prevent defeat on the Eastern Front battlefield.

If the Battle of the Somme is opened again on the Western Front, it will cause serious checks and balances on the total strength of the imperial army. The biggest problem now is that powerful German troops are needed on all battlefields. The allies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire cannot provide enough help. The Bulgarian army is too small, and the empire needs further military mobilization to cope with the battle situation on the Eastern and Western Fronts.

Your Majesty, the Imperial Command hopes that the Navy can make enough contributions to alleviate the pressure on the Army.

The Ocean Empire is delivering millions of tons of war supplies to Europe, greatly supporting the world war, and we lack such an ally with a strong industrial base that can provide everything we need, which is the most troublesome thing."

General Erich von Farkinhan introduced it carefully. In early 1916, Germany's Schliffen planned to go bankrupt. Farkinhan proposed defense on the eastern front and focused on the attack on the Verdun protrusion, which was supported by the French right wing, on the western front. This action plan was called the "execution site."

The purpose is to attack the military important military sites that France intends to defend, to nail down all the French troops, and then to capture them in one go, forcing them to surrender, and let France bleed away all their blood!

The German offensive plan was officially implemented in accordance with the intentions of Chief of Staff Farkinhan. The result was not satisfactory. After the German army gained some lead advantage in the early stage of Verdun, with the continuous reinforcements of the French army, both sides fell into a burning trench war.

In order to alleviate the pressure on Verdun's front, Tsarist Russia launched an astonishing Brusinov assault campaign on the Eastern Front, which has caused more than 1.4 million casualties in Germany, Austria and Russia, which is the bloodiest and cruelest battle at present.

German Chief of Staff Farkinhan drew 13 German divisions on the Western Front for this purpose to strengthen the counterattack on the Eastern Front and curb the crazy offensive momentum of the Tsarist Russian army.

This is exactly this that made Emperor William II extremely angry.

Faringham's actions were exactly what China, Britain, France and other countries were in line with the thoughts of China, Britain, France and other countries. Tsarist Russia's strategic purpose of launching an Eastern Front attack was also achieved, which would inevitably weaken the attack strength in the Verdun area. This was the situation that Emperor William II of Germany was most reluctant to see.

In addition to the upcoming Battle of the Somme, General Farkingham, the German Chief of Staff, was in jeopardy, so he defended himself without any trace in the introduction of the battle situation and brought the German Navy to the custody.

Emperor William II stood in front of the map with his chest folded and his belly folded. His eyes were too long and I wonder what he was thinking?

Silenced for a while

He said, "Gentlemen, my ambition is to lead the German Empire to the world, open up a broad living space for the German people, build the world's Germany, Berlin, and under the sunshine, all the lands of the German people.

For this, we are willing to endure temporary pain.

It is precisely because of my common ambition that I can now better understand what the Emperor of the Ocean Empire Li Fushou did. He is indeed a rare wise ruler. Although he took some opportunities in the process of his rise, he succeeded after all.

The Ocean Empire defeated the Americans and gained a dominant position in the Pacific region.

Now, what Germany has to face is the British, French and Russians who are ten times more fierce than the Americans. I firmly believe from beginning to end that the powerful and excellent Germanic nation will surely defeat these cruel enemies and win the final victory of the war.

Only the German Empire, which stepped on the enemy's corpse and walked towards the throne, is the unquestionable strongest person in the world. We are now in this great historical process, fighting for the glory of the empire and the future of the Germanic nation.

He asked each of us to make an effort, Admiral Reinhart Schell, do you have anything to say?”

Emperor William II of the German Emperor named the senior general of the Admiral. Admiral Reinhardt Schell came out from among the generals, stroked his chest with one hand and bent over and said, "His Majesty, the High Seas Fleet is always obeying your call."

"Very good, my general, Germany needs the efforts of the high seas fleet in this war, just as the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire defeated the stronger American navy, we need a victory and inspire the people."

"As you wish, your Majesty." Admiral Reinhardt Schell took a few steps forward, taking the position of Chief of Staff of Farkinhan, and then took the baton and gestured on the map;

"In more than two years after the war began, Britain used its naval advantage to impose a maritime blockade on our high seas fleet. The powerful British main fleet squatted in Scarpaflo Port like a watchdog, staring at the high seas fleet, which made us trapped in Wilhelmshaven and Bremen Port for most of the time, and could not change the major role of the war.

Your Majesty and all gentlemen;

Under heavy pressure, the Imperial Ocean Fleet did not give up the preparation for finding fighter jets and strengthening its combat effectiveness, preparing for a possible decisive battle at sea.

First, the Ocean Fleet started a series of attacks along the British coast with a few battleships and cruisers, luring some British fleets forward.

To achieve this plan, I spent 4 months sending battle cruisers, submarines and "Zeperlin" airships to attack the British east coast many times and carry out mine-branching and reconnaissance operations.

If the situation is favorable, concentrate the main force of the Ocean Fleet to gather and annihilate, and then defeat the main force of the British Fleet in the decisive battle.

Secondly, through successful actions, the German Navy obtained the key technology of the Ocean Empire radio rangefinder, and successfully copied it in domestic factories.

At present, all the main battleships, battle cruisers and main cruisers on the front line of the High Seas Fleet have been equipped. Under high-intensity pre-war training, the strength of the Ocean Fleet has grown rapidly.

All preparations are in place, and we are about to implement a new combat plan.

The plan was carefully formulated by the Navy Department and would lure the main force of the British Royal Navy into a trap and siege and annihilate it.

The bait is a fleet of battlecruisers and light cruisers commanded by Admiral Franz von Hippel, who was cruising on the Norwegian coast.

It is inferred

The British would not send the entire fleet to intercept a limited small fleet of invasions, and Schell would personally command the entire force of the high seas fleet to follow after fifty miles.

If the British Navy attacks, Hippel of the bait fleet will turn the rudder after a symbolic resistance, leading the pursuers into the range of Scher's large fleet.

This tactical inspiration came from the Battle of Hawaii in the Ocean Empire. They established their relative advantages by first eliminating some of the main fleets of the US Navy who were careless."

Having said this

Admiral Reinhardt Schell said with confidence: "This series of military plans aims to carry out offensive surprise attacks on British naval forces responsible for surveillance and blockade of the German coast at any time, and at the same time, mines and submarine attacks on British coasts to achieve the purpose of killing the British fleet. When the results of such operations accumulate to the moment when the navies on both sides are equal in strength, all our forces must be ready and gather to try to find fighter jets that are unfavorable to the enemy to carry out a fleet decisive battle, which will reproduce the brilliant victory that the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire has achieved."

His speech aroused warm applause from everyone and instantly ignited the atmosphere in the palace. His Majesty William II, the German Emperor, was also very excited.

The continuous brilliant achievements of the Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire have inspired countless people, especially the German Emperor William II is the most excited. He seemed to see the shadow of the rise of the German Navy's East China Sea Fleet from the Ocean Empire, and once excitedly raised his hands and shouted;

"God bless Germany, we will surely reproduce this brilliant victory in the Atlantic Ocean, sending the British invincible fleet into the cold seabed, just as they had done to the Spaniards, the Germans were a better nation than the Tang people, and we will do this, and I believe it in this."

In addition to being happy, German Emperor William II ordered the court tailor to carefully sew the second uniform of the same style as the Marshal He Fang. As a reward for himself, he often wore this Marshal's uniform for walking in the palace garden and met visitors.

As for the same uniform as Marshal Li Shuanzhu, who was chopped by him with a sword, the court tailor quietly made another set and left it in the closet of King William II.
