On Lan Fang's side, the Philippines' battle has basically been settled. There is also the battle to seize the island among the remote islands. Unfortunately, those regular troops have no more to do with Lan Fang. Under Lan Fang's command, there has always been a native army. Under the complex geographical conditions, Lan Fang never lets the regular troops take action. Staying away from the small islands in the Philippines, there may be no danger on it, and perhaps there are many natives on it, and only native troops are the most suitable.

After the combat mission was issued, although the gunfire in the entire Philippines and even Southeast Asia did not stop completely, most places had already entered the formal state. The next thing was that the northwest was quite skilled, immigrants mixed with sand and immigrated to China. China had both infinite labor and lacked labor. Among the local people, there were very few primary jobs. In specific fields, primary jobs were still needed, which could effectively reduce costs, and these natives would become suitable.

Although natives are lazy and stupid, many things can be changed. If they don’t give them space to be lazy and room for thinking, they will become qualified junior workers.

The situation in Asia became calm at the end of 1914. After the wars in the south and north ended with the victory of the Chinese, the conflict between the Allies and the Allies intensified in Europe, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.

It has been decided to mobilize all the strength to have a strategic decisive battle with the Allies. The German navy has been much busy during this period. The Baltic Sea is equally divided and it is the last bottom line. However, the weak side is the allies, and the British are never good people. They are aggressive whenever they have the chance.

The more than ten days of waiting for the Scher fleet to return was a difficult time for Germany. The warships of the Allied Powers were completely aggressive. They kept approaching and looking for all opportunities. They broke into the interior of the Baltic Sea, not only at sea, but also on land.

The north itself is not very important, but it has become important because of the changes in the strategic goals of the Allied Powers. In terms of diplomacy, British and French diplomats kept going to the Northern European countries. The Northern European countries were originally preserved by neutrality in the cracks between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers. After the Allied Powers were strong, they were under tremendous pressure and began to sway in politics. Although they had not announced their participation in the Allied Powers camp, it was only a matter of time.

The three Nordic countries can guarantee independent countries on the European territory of this era, which proves their strength, three countries. At least, they can also mobilize millions of troops. A million troops are definitely not a small number under the premise that both sides are evenly matched.

Germany was not watching, although the main ships were squeezed and could not confront each other head-on. However, the midline of the Baltic Sea was a bottom line. Germany could not use the main ships, so it could only find ways from other places. Airships and submarines were Germany's advantages. However, it was really difficult to find an opportunity from the hands of the naval power Britain.

Finally, after searching patiently, the Germans finally found an opportunity to follow a small team of front dreadnoughts in the main fleet of the Allied Powers. Due to speed, they could not catch up with the speed of the main ship, and had a distance of 50 nautical miles from the brigade. They seized the opportunity by the submarine force and airships and started attacking directly. The airship bombed them first, which made them dodge hard in the bomb rain, and then used submarines to attack. Two strokes worked. In just one and a half hours, they completed the attack on the seven front dreadnoughts, sank 4 of them and injured 3, which greatly hit the British arrogance.

The result of this incident can be said to be immediate. The aggressive Britain began to restrain itself. Although it was still active near the Baltic Sea, it did not go deeper. Airships, especially more than 1,200 airships, were still threatened to the fleet under intensive bombing. These fleets had urgently installed anti-aircraft machine guns, but these things did not have much effect on airships that had been maintained above 4,000 meters. They did not have the strength of the northwest and produced anti-aircraft machine guns with a range of more than 5,000 meters. They did not have enough airships to have a head-on air battle with Germany, so they could only watch it.

However, the combat radius of the airships was limited. They only protected this small area along the Baltic Sea coast and did not reach another estuary. After all, the opponent's warships were huge and the airships had never been used. In this case, God knows if there would be ambush.

Of course, the real reason is that the airship has caused too little damage to the warship. It dispatched 700 airships and bombed them intensively for an hour and a half, but it only caused a little bit of damage to the former dreadnought, which caused some exposed machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. As for most of the hull, including the main turret, they did not suffer much damage. The only benefit is that the dreadnought was separated from the camp while dodging, which allowed the submarine to seize the opportunity and sank 4 ships.

Such a record is not replicable. The dreadnought is more powerful than the previous dreadnought. In addition, the wide structure and air defense are more dense and unlikely to be separated. In addition, there are light patrols and destroyers for escorts. When the submarine does not work, the airship alone will not work.

The two sides reached a weak balance in this way, but Germany knew that this balance was fragile. If Britain had no cost, it could directly attack the Baltic coast. In the North Sea, except for the Kiel Canal, there was no second sea outlet, almost all shipyards were distributed along the Baltic Sea coast, and at most penetrated into the inland rivers. However, particularly huge warships could not bear it in the inland rivers. Does Germany have a deep waterway like the Yangtze River, which can withstand 30,000 tons or even 50,000 tons of ships in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and such natural advantages made the Yangtze River a natural shipbuilding base.

However, there are too many shipbuilding bases in China. Not to mention anything else, there are countless in the Bohai Bay. The narrow Bohai Bay is only more than 30 kilometers. Under the protection of land-based cannons and aircraft, no warship dares to penetrate deep into the Bohai Bay. This is the safest place. Even the Bohai Bay can carry out a series of training, which is not the same as the Yangtze River. Therefore, in the future, China's shipbuilding base will be mainly the Bohai Bay, which is safe and not easy to leak.

Tirpitz frowned, and the asymmetry on the warship put him in a natural weakness. Faced with the aggressiveness of the British, he could only passively defend. To a certain extent, he was also a helpless choice. All the navy soldiers were indignant, but there was no way,

From a strategic perspective, this sneak attack was successful, successfully defending Germany's defense line in the Baltic Sea, but the crisis was also exposed. Once the Allies were desperate, even if the Scher fleet would not come again, he had to go to a battle. Although it was close to Germany and had the help of airships and submarines, Scher's nine main battleships did not return. Relying on the existing warships, it was an absolute disadvantage to take them out. Even if they were filled in, they might not be able to exchange them one-to-one with the British. This was equivalent to a vain sacrifice. But the result of the battle was really hard to say.

Fortunately, even if you are thousands of miles away, Scher can still contact the Admiralty through the radio network arranged in the northwest and Germany by relaying. He has left the Strait of Malacca and has passed the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. At most 10 days, he can arrive in Europe. There are still 10 days left, so wait a little longer. As long as the warship returns, everything will be in time.

After a failure, the arrogance of the Allies was dispelled, but how powerful the UK was. If all seven front dreadnoughts were sunk, they might have been honest for a little longer, but some people ran back. When they were severely damaged and spent a lot of time, they ran back to the safe place and presented the entire battle report. Countless British naval experts and generals personally investigated the warships and finally got a very amazing result, that is, the airships had very little damage to the warships.

Unlike fixed targets on land, warships will maneuver quickly. In this case, it will be quite difficult to aim. Therefore, when attacking, airships must make a choice whether to use more bombs to obtain enough absolute hits, or use larger bombs to ensure the attack effect. This is a difficult question. In fact, the Germans chose the former, so the attacks on the former dreadnought are not effective, and the effect will be even worse when facing the dreadnought.

What really poses a threat to the dreadnought is the submarine. It is unknowingly introduced into the submarine's encirclement while dodging bombs in the air. Compared with the 50-100 kilogram aviation bombs, the 450mm and even 500mm torpedoes are more aggressive. The four front dreadnoughts sank into the sea after the attack of torpedoes.

If you encounter such a blow again, especially for the Dreadnought Fleet, you can ignore it with speed and protection. As long as you are protected by a certain light fleet, you can avoid torpedo attacks. The airships in the air can ignore it, causing at most a little injury. At that time, destroyers and light patrols must be heavily equipped with air defense firepower. A bomb of 50-100 kilograms poses little threat to the main ship, and there is still a threat to them.

When the British army made a comeback, the German navy immediately under great pressure. Although Britain did not harass Germany's coastal ports, and even retreated quickly when the airship arrived, their troops were moving forward steadily and getting closer and closer to Germany.
