Major General Spe's tough style along the way made the British mistakenly think that he would succeed and become rampant, and continued to carry out tough attacks on the constantly moving British warships in batches. Anyway, the ammunition of the four battleships was full before departure, so it seemed that there was no problem to fight a few tough battles.

But the result was beyond expectations. The Germans knew that the British main fleet was about to arrive, but in terms of strength, they might not be able to add another layer to their glorious record. But when the British rushed over with the determination to die with the enemy, the German fleet actually ran away and returned to the coast of Africa.

The British Navy was furious! The bad result of losing two squadrons in succession made them lose the possibility of concession. If they did not want the world hegemony established by the British Empire to fall apart, there was no other way except to annihilate this German fleet.

The British fleet deployed in Atlantic waters a large number of ships. In order to protect the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean-Strait of Gibraltar, they transferred all the warships in the Indian Ocean. They gathered together, and there were also several honest armored cruisers, with a number of up to 10 or 20.

Although the tonnage of the total is not necessarily larger than that of the German fleet, the old saying goes: if there are too many ants, they will bite to death and will linger and beat each other hard, why can't they give the other party a heavy blow?

No need to do it. As long as there is a ship throwing the torpedo on it, it will probably be worth it.

They planned and deployed this way. Nearly twenty ships of all sizes swarmed onto the African coast, but they rushed to the African coast with a slowdown. The German fleet left the supply ships and drove to the Moroccan coastal port at full speed. The German army, which had been deployed here since last year, and some navy, built a series of turrets early, immediately providing sufficient safe protection for the fleet.

In this way, Major General Spey led the German fleet to enter the port first. A mine was sprinkled out of it, and all the shore defense artillery entered the state of war, ready to fire on British ships trying to rush into the port at any time.

The British were furious but helpless. They got news from China that the four battleships obtained by the Germans not only had advanced steam turbine systems, but also high-power diesel auxiliary engines, which were used to start immediately when war broke out. They sailed at low speed and supported until the steam turbine began to output power.

This advanced design is much better than other ships of the great powers. At the same time, it also means that they don’t even think about completely blocking the German fleet in the port. When needed, they can drive out to fight at any time.

At this time, the British would rather believe in the attitude of such news than to believe in it. They suffered too much and did not dare to take it lightly. Whoever makes a mistake will take the blame.

The British interceptor fleet turned around and chased after it, and it would take a few days before arriving in Morocco. Taking advantage of this gap, the German high seas fleet suddenly became active, and under the command of the fleet commander General Holdendolf, an unprecedented confrontation with the British Navy on the turbulent North Sea.

As long as the British insisted on a large number of main battleships going south to attack the Spee fleet, he would never mind being able to dispatch all his might and launch a battle to completely defeat the British Navy with all the strength he currently possesses.

It turns out that the fleet led by Major General Speech had caused immediate control and blows on the deployment of British Atlantic forces, and even affected the balance between its local and North Sea waters.

From the feeling of Holdendorf and the entire German navy, it was extremely light and refreshing.

At this time, no matter whether they are happy or not, they must express their sincere gratitude to their Chinese friends for their timely assistance.

Who would have thought that China would use such a method, which was simply a masterpiece!

What's even more amazing is that four expensive Chinese warships can be paid in installments. The interest rate is also very low, which is enough to ensure that the construction of Germany's own "Bavarian-class" battleships is not affected. The effect of one plus one is definitely greater than two.

In contrast, the British, in the face of sudden changes, their slow reactions, stupid decision-making, and reckless responses. The light battles, the heavy losses, and the anger and anger afterwards are constantly showing the world a deep and dull atmosphere of rivers falling and the sky is falling.

"The glory of the British Empire has passed, and a new era will be dominated by the German Empire!"

After learning that Major General Spey once again killed six British battleships without any injuries, German Emperor William II held a grand celebration banquet and issued the above declaration full of ambitions.

This won unanimous cheers and cheers from the Junker nobles and military generals.

Regardless of whether William II was very happy with merit, was mentally abnormal due to physical disability, or was he really as warlike and bloodthirsty as propaganda in later generations, he would not miss the opportunity to put great achievements in his pocket at this time.

However, his head was always quite light. After obtaining the battle report, he immediately issued an order asking Major General Spe to avoid continuing to fight with the British. The four battleships and the fleet that were about to be dispatched will become the key forces to restrain the main force of Britain and destroy its overseas lifeline. Their mission will continue until the service of the "Bavarian-class" battleships and the decisive victory of Germany's offensive on land.

Before that, casual sacrifices are not allowed.

Compared with the results of sinking several warships in front of you, it is far less important than the destruction of the lifeline of Britain's maritime during the war.

Major General Spe knew the priorities. In addition, the officers and soldiers of the fleet passed by more than 10,000 nautical miles and were exhausted after two fierce battles. It is not an exaggeration to stop when they see it is better.

The Atlantic Battle entered a strange and brief period of calm due to the different reactions of both sides. The British main fleet rushed to the sea outside Gibraltar, but was surprised to hear that a group of German fleets also arrived there, and they met with the Spee fleet to form a new Atlantic fleet and have a Moroccan port as a stronghold.

Threats against British seas have been formed.

At the same time, Germany's offensive deployment on land has also entered a new stage.

After receiving the 300,000 army equipment supplied by China, after half a year of recruitment training, it has been basically completed. After several months of mobilization, about 15 divisions were deployed at the Verdun position, which is 135 miles straight away from Paris, France, 20 divisions were deployed on the center line, and about 50 divisions were deployed on the right wing.

The current Chief of Staff Moltcher changed the approach of the "Schriefen Plan", that is, to retain only 10 divisions on the front of Verdun on the left wing and deploy 9 divisions along Lorraine. The right wing guaranteed a full 72 divisions. This formed a huge revolving door, with 10 Verdun's divisions responsible for withstanding the French attack, and 72 divisions on the right wing quickly broke through to the rear of the French and made a violent breakthrough. The battle ended in just a few weeks.

It has to be said that the "Schriefen Plan" is extremely bold and amazing, and its feasibility is extremely high.

However, after Chief of Staff of Little Moltch took over, he made appropriate modifications to increase Verdun's frontal troops to 15 divisions. The long frontal frontal lines in the Lorraine area were increased to 20, and the right wing was reduced to 50, but the original 1:7 ratio of troops was reduced to 1:3. On the one hand, Verdun's frontal defense was greatly strengthened, but the right wing's offensive power was severely weakened.

At this time, Schriefen was still alive. Although he was recuperating, he had no problem with his mind. He made more than once appeals, not to forget to strengthen the right wing, but Chief of Staff Moltke insisted on his own adjustment.

In fact, Moltke was concerned. The French army of this era was completely different from the broilers during World War II. They always advocated offense. Although they failed in the French-Prussian War, it did not prevent them from still having the fighting will to face a brave attack by a strong enemy.

For such people, it is too thin to deploy 10 divisions in Verdun. Once the French see through the attack with all their might, the German local defense will be worrying.

He cannot take this risk, and he can only ensure that the local area is not lost, and then the offensive force on the Western Front is as appropriate. However, when the number of conscription cannot increase, and even if there is still a little insufficient, there is no way to weaken the offense.

However, even if the troops are not strong enough now, the Germans have to prepare for war.

Due to the intensification of the Balkan conflict and the surge in the conflict between Germany and France, Germany's original conscription plan could no longer keep up. If China hadn't deliberately helped strengthen it, they would probably not have fought this battle.

However, now all of them have been ripened, and the Germans are in a difficult situation, but they are not willing to miss the current great opportunity.

In the Far East, the Chinese Army had just successfully annihilated the Far East Legion led by Li Nevich, and used four assembled shallow water heavy artillery boats as the guide, and suddenly crossed Lake Baikal. It directly broke through the empty defense of Irkutsk, captured more than 200,000 Russian troops in the Far East in one fell swoop, and pushed the troops to the line of the Yenisei River.

As a result, Russia lost more than 500,000 main forces in the Far East, almost emptying all their troops deployed in the east. If they were in a hurry to recruit troops, they could not even prepare their weapons in order, and there was no mention of counterattacks.

Nicholas II, who was so angry that he once again rejected the peace talks proposed by China, issued an angrily mobilization order, summoning more than one million troops out, and at the same time, he drew about half a million troops from the Western Front to transport them to the Eastern Front, attempting to organize a tough counterattack of up to one million troops.

However, Russia's pitiful financial situation, even if more than one million troops can be recruited, the equipment cannot be collected for a while, so we can only seek support from Britain. In addition, military training also requires time and investment. If we want to fight this war, we have to prepare for more than a year.

This means that in at least one or two years, Russia will not be able to continue to torture the Balkans, and Germany does not even need to deploy more than a dozen divisions facing the eastern battlefield, at least it does not need to involve too many troops to defend. If Nicholas II twisted his neck and refused to agree, I am afraid that the entire Tsarist Russian power would be restrained in the Far East for a long time.

In this way, the possibility of Germany being attacked by both sides will no longer exist. As long as they concentrate on defeating the French, the great cause of unifying the European continent will be unstoppable.

This opportunity is rare. The Germans know that China is really negotiating with Russia. Although the conditions for dividing territory seem to be very unfavorable to Russia, if it is a smart leader, the Russians will recognize the situation and suffer losses and admit defeat, which is a wise choice.

It’s a pity that Nicholas II was not happy.

This is an excellent opportunity that Germany had to seize. The joining of four powerful battleships proved their great value with two consecutive victories. The British responded in panic and saw the emptiness inside by Germany. When will they not start a war now?

So, a battle from the beginning of a naval confrontation, to the full confrontation of maritime forces, and then to the mobilization and deployment of the army, in June 1910, Germany suddenly dispatched heavily, launching an unprecedented threat from the right wing. Britain and France responded in a hurry, and from the beginning of the French-Prussian War to the present, they have been overemphasizing the offensive and ignoring other tactical innovations, and the French, who had been busy and embarrassed for a moment.

Realizing that war was inevitable, Britain had to rush to recruit 200,000 troops to reinforce France, in an attempt to contain the German attack. But this was obviously impossible. Once the war broke out, no one could stop the terrible machine from operating.

"The world war finally started!"

When the news of German troops sent to the Far East, the top leaders of the New China Government were in jubilation! The Grand Head of State, Mr. Yang Dingshi, held a grand banquet, inviting leaders of both parties and important people from all walks of life to gather together to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime event.

In the hall where thousands of elites from countries gather, Yang Dingshi spreads his voice to everyone's ears through a high-power broadcast system.

"Dear colleagues, what we are here to celebrate is not that European countries are trapped in the quagmire of war, and tens of millions of people will shed blood and sacrifice. No matter how many sins the great powers have committed against us and the people of other countries and ethnic groups in the world, war is sin after all, and this is what we must first clarify."

"We hate war. In the thousands of years of Chinese civilization history, there were only four hundred years of wars, and the rest of the time were constantly fighting! From the Warring States Period more than two thousand years ago, the population of the East reached tens of millions for the first time, until the long years of the late Ming Dynasty, the countless millions of people that grew in nearly two thousand years were swallowed up by war. Every inch of land under our feet was once soaked in blood. Therefore, we don't like war because we know the terribleness of war."

"But we are not afraid of war. A great nation not only has a splendid civilization that can be passed down for thousands of years, but also has the tenacity of never giving up in the face of any disaster. We are reborn in the ashes of war and will flourish even more!"

"Ten years ago, we had already realized this supreme law of mankind, so we overthrew the decadent and backward Qing Dynasty and established a new China with civilization and progress. The construction achievements in the past ten years are obvious to all, and can be regarded as a miracle in human history!"

"Although Western countries, although they went earlier than us in the early stages of industrial civilization, are now behind the scenes of backward colonialism and imperialism, they are still immersed in the narrow situation of backward colonialism and imperialism and cannot extricate themselves. This European war will allow them to gain new life like us after deeply experiencing the pain of war."
