Just one day later

On November 4, the German High Seas sailors who received the order to attack were no longer willing to follow William II's stubbornness and lost their lives in vain. They held a huge Kiel Sailor Uprising in anger.

The rebellious sailors received widespread sympathy from workers and soldiers from all over Germany and responded one after another. The flames of resistance spread across Germany, which deeply shook the foundation of the German Empire.

On November 9, workers and soldiers in Berlin held a general strike and an armed uprising. Hundreds of thousands of people rushed to the streets to resist tyrannical rule with slogans "You want bread, don't have war."

At this time, the German Emperor William II had become alone, and the Germans who were tired of war were completely desperate about William and his empire. Even the German commander Hindenburg, who had always been royal, persuaded William II to abdicate.

The shocked William II was helpless and had to issue an abdication edict while fleeing, leaving Germany sadly.

On October 11, 1918, the day after William II fled, the German representative signed a surrender agreement to French Marshal Foch and Marshal of the Ocean Empire Li Shuanzhu on a train in the suburb of the French town of Compière, a small French town, which represented the end of the unprecedented world war.

Based on the "Four-Point Peace Principle" proposed by the Emperor Li Fushou of the Ocean Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire completely fell apart, and dozens of new countries were formed based on the principle of national self-determination.

The Republic of Crimea is also among them, with a range much larger than the originally planned 130,000 square kilometers. Its range is drawn from the southern border of Moldova and covers a large area of ​​southern Ukraine with a total area of ​​about 220,000 square kilometers.

The new Crimean Republic caused Ukraine to lose its Caspian coastal ports and become a landlocked country.

Correspondingly, the Second Expeditionary Army stationed in Kiev did not evacuate because secret negotiations between the new Russian government and the Ocean Empire were underway.

The neighboring Moldova region declared independence in January 2018 and announced a merger with Romania in March.

December 6, 2018

The Ocean Empire and the new Tsarist Russian government officially signed the Treaty of Kiev. The new Tsarist Russian government recognized the territory of the Republic of Crimea, recognized its independent state sovereignty, and gave up any territorial demands, and established normal relations between the two sides.

The Second Expeditionary Army of the Ocean Empire evacuated Kiev and other Western Ukrainian areas, and the two sides handed over peacefully.

The signing of this contract has aroused strong dissatisfaction among Britain, France and other countries. They believe that the unilateral signing of the Ocean Empire and Tsarist Russia would harm the overall interests of the Allies.

December 12

The Emperor of the Ocean Empire, Li Fushou, made a public speech, expressing his toughness in response to the accusations of Britain, France and Italy;

As a global power, the Ocean Empire wants to do what and how to do it is in line with national interests and has complete independence and autonomy, and does not need to consider other people's views, including London and Paris.

Don't forget that the world war has just ended and everything is in trouble.

While Britain, France and other countries are crazily pursuing traditional influence in Europe, the Ocean Empire, which has made great contributions to defeating the allies, must get a share of the pie and occupy an unquestionable dominance in the division of global interests.

The interests of the Ocean Empire are not limited to the Republic of Crimea, but also actively develop bilateral relations with Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The interests of North Africa, Libya, and West Asia, need to be further clarified...

Li Fushou's public conversation caused an uproar in Europe, and Britain, France and other countries, which had been very high in tune, were temporarily silent.

Europe is now in a state of chaos, France's steel production capacity has dropped to 30% of its original capacity, and its industrial capacity is less than half of the pre-war period. In history, the rich France has rarely experienced insufficient food supply, and Britain is also facing various problems.

A large number of new countries in Europe are waiting for the recognition of the Ocean Empire, and its millions of troops are also stationed in Europe, mainly France, Germany and Ukraine, and exert important influence.

They are now unwilling to anger the Ocean Empire for the Crimean issue, which is not worth the effort.

When the Ocean Empire showed a tough stance, Britain, France and other countries retreated, and the tone of public opinion was completely extinguished.

However, there was a country that couldn't wait to jump out and object, and that was the Kingdom of Italy.

This is because Italy has always had colonial attempts toward the Libyan region located in North Africa. Libya has been a territory of the Ottoman Empire since the 16th century.

In the 12 years of the early 20th century, Italian troops invaded Libya, opening the prelude to the Libyan War.

Italy sent troops to occupy Tripoli, Benghazi, and other major coastal cities in Libya. The Ottoman Empire was forced to recognize Italy's occupation of Libya.

Two years later, World War I broke out, and almost all Italian troops stationed in Libya were transferred back to Europe. The Ottoman sent troops to occupy the entire Libya except for Tripoli and Homs.

After the end of the World War, the Ottoman Empire completely fell apart. The 4th Army of the Ocean Empire returned to North Africa and sent three infantry divisions and part of the Armored Wolf Cavalry Division (306th Division) to fully occupy Libya and sent the Italian troops of Tripoli and Homs back to China.

This action stimulated the Italians to be furious and said in public that they could not tolerate the wanton behavior of the Ocean Empire and would never...

December 27

The Royal Navy of the Ocean Empire atlantic fleet consisted of 10 warships, gathered in the Mediterranean offshore Rome, and directly implemented force deterrence.

At this time, the battles over Europe were densely covered with clouds and the situation became extremely tense. It is possible that the world war had just ended, and a new round of conflicts arising from the division of interests broke out again, which is something that all European countries were unwilling to see.

The Italian navy, known as the "third largest navy in Europe", hugged in the port and did not dare to fight. Diplomatic envoys from Britain, France and other countries urgently mediated, and the turmoil was turbulent for a while.

Under tremendous pressure, Prime Minister Oranto of the Kingdom of Italy was forced to make a public policy speech, saying;

The Kingdom of Italy has no intention of provoking the majesty of the Ocean Empire, respecting and acknowledging the interests of the Ocean Empire in North Africa and Libya. I personally have a sincere respect for the imperial emperor Li Fushou and regard him as an idol in life.

Regarding some of the noises made by the Italian top leaders, the Italian government solemnly stated that this does not represent the kingdom's formal attitude, but is just a personal opinion.

If any misunderstanding arises, the Imperial Kingdom Government is willing to take responsibility and urge relevant persons to apologize publicly, clarify the reasons, and try to ensure that similar misinformation will not be issued again...

In a word, if you admit defeat, what can you do to me?

In fact, this is a crisis created by some fanatical national expansionists in the Kingdom of Italy who kidnapped the Italian government and domestic public opinion.

But this time he kicked the iron plate. The Emperor of the Ocean Empire, Li Fushou, has always been an aggressive lion, the ancestor of national expansionists, and the backer of hardliners to the outside world. How could he allow Italians to provoke with fangs and claws?

Although Li Fushou has restrained his strength over the years, the old lion is so arrogant that it is a piece of cake to deal with Italians.

Don't accept it?

Do you want to try the decisive battle at sea, or try the taste of bombarding Rome?

The Atlantic Fleet anchored outside Rome took off its cannon suit, and its black muzzle pointed directly at its own land. This was by no means a bluff, but a naked threat.

Don't be so stupid as to be like a green-headed flies. It's a mule or a horse that takes a walk. I'll talk about it if it's OK or not.

Do the Italians dare to fight? They dare not even borrow 100 courage to give it to him.

Former German Prime Minister Bismarck once said, "The Italians came to Africa with a mouthful of decay and a great appetite, but returned in disappointment."

In 1895, the Italians invaded Ethiopia on a large scale, but were killed by these black men who only held simple weapons, creating the history of the first white colonial country defeated by indigenous blacks.

In the just-concluded world war, the Italians' performance was quite devastated, especially the huge failure of the "Battle of Caporeto", which almost became the national humiliation of Italy.

In the face of sensitive Italy, the word "Capoleto" cannot be mentioned.

After the outbreak of the world war

Italy turned around and joined the Allies camp. The Austro-Hungarian Empire launched an attack on Italy on the southern front, and the two sides formed a long tug-of-war on the Isonzo River.

Actually, there is nothing to say, it’s just a rookie.

After 11th battle of Isonzo River, although the Austrian army defended its position, it suffered heavy casualties and was unable to launch an attack on the Italian army alone and was forced to ask for help from the German army.

At the end of 2017, as Russia gradually withdrew from the battlefield, the German army on the Eastern Front escaped in the battle against Russia and was able to withdraw troops to launch a fierce counterattack against Italy.

After receiving rapid assistance from 7 German divisions on the Eastern Front, the German-Austrian coalition forces, commanded by German General Otto von Bilo, began to launch a counterattack against Caporeto on the Isonzo River, which had weak Italian defense, and the "Caporeto Battle" broke out.

As soon as the Germans took action, they showed the style of a strong military in the world.

Although the Italian army was numerous and had more than one million troops here, they were low in morale and slow in response. They were quickly defeated under the rapid attack of the enemy.

The front of the defense was quickly broken through, and the German and Austrian coalition forces interspersed and rushed and advanced rapidly. General Luigi Cardorna, the commander-in-chief of the Italian army, was worried that the Italian army would be surrounded and annihilated, so he ordered all troops to retreat.

Cross-covering and orderly retreat has always been the most difficult war subject. How could the Italian army play around?

The retreat soon turned into a great defeat. The Italian army began to flee wildly on the front line of more than 300 kilometers. The Italian army command lost its command ability to the troops. The soldiers threw away heavy weapons, artillery and military supplies to retreat to the rear, and fled all over the mountains. This scene was simply eye-catching.

According to post-war statistics;

The Italian army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, more than 250,000 were captured, and more than 300,000 people fled without a trace. The million-dollar army was defeated in almost one day.

General Luigi Cardorna's resistance organized by him was ineffective and was dismissed from office and investigated.

As the entire southern battlefield was facing defeat, Britain, France and the United Kingdom, France and the United States had to organize an emergency reinforcement from the Southern Front troops. It was difficult to stabilize the situation on the southern front battlefield and curb the German offensive momentum.

At this level, even if you dare to jump three feet high, there is no one except Italians.
