The naval battle involving all the battleships of the Allied Powers and allied powers was like thunder and raindrops. The sudden outbreak also ended suddenly. The losses of both sides were very small. The Allied Powers lost a little more, but the battleships did not suffer any losses, which was not a big loss for the two major groups.

At the strategic height, Britain's plan to block the Baltic Sea was shattered, but half of it was blocked, with 2.5 million mines distributed in 500 square kilometers of sea areas. It was almost the same if the Baltic Sea was not blocked. At least the intention was to achieve it. In the future, ships and navigation would never be as smooth as before, and they would even risk being hit by mines.

The original actions of the Scher fleet, such as harasserying the British navy with the help of the strength of the Scher fleet, would not appear casually before the mines were swept away. The main fleet is generally guarded by various fleets, and the probability of mines is generally very low, but who can guarantee that they will not hit it? The Scher fleet has shown its strength. The powerful attack fleet, the cost given by the northwest, was recognized by the Navy with a nose, after all, it was taken out from the compensation for returning Qingdao.

But now it seems that the battleships produced in the northwest are absolutely worth this price. In the battle of the return, they are extremely shining. Even if the new Bavarian class is lost, they will have compensation. Fantasy and Orion are really sunk one or two ships, which will definitely feel distressed. The Admiralty Department does not guarantee whether there is this fund or buy a few more ships, even if it is powerful. It is too expensive.

Ci didn't control the troops, but he knew that millions of mines had not been cleared, so he let the main ship go out. That would not be strict, that was a fool, he really lost, and he didn't know how big a turbulence would be caused. Even if there were half of the exits, everyone knew that the ocean currents would move, and the mines would float with the ocean currents. God knew where they would float. In the next period of time, the focus of the competition between the two sides would probably fall to the mouth of the Baltic Sea, which was the competition between the minesweeper boats and the minesboats. The main ships would generally not be dispatched.

A decisive maritime battle initiated by Britain, due to the restraint of both sides, has temporarily entered a stalemate stage. Not only is it a stalemate at sea, but also a stalemate on land, the European War has entered a new chapter. This kind of stalemate has never happened in wars before.

It has entered December 1914. It has been more than a year since the outbreak of the European War in 1913. If both sides still had the idea of ​​winning quickly in the early stages of the European War, the idea of ​​winning quickly in the past year has basically gone bankrupt. The navy, army, and even airship forces have fought fiercely one after another. Germany has a large advantage, but the resilience of the Allies is quite strong. The joining of the United States gives them the foundation to persevere. If there is no way to win quickly, they can only return to the conventional and use countless lives to exchange for a tiny little advantage. In the meantime, Germany was on land, with the help of the Sliffen plan, which was so great that it could not be reversed.

The war of one year made both the Allies and the Allies discover that the possibility of a quick victory in this war is no longer there. Next, it is a protracted war, using human lives, resources, and all aspects of the battle, which is far from being as simple as before. They began to look for other methods besides their original combat methods.

This forced push made the fleet take risks to suppress Germany and led to the return of the Scher fleet. It seemed that Britain's attempt from the navy was only a failure. However, this failure was not because the British design was not strong enough, but because the combat effectiveness of the Scher fleet was far beyond imagination. From the army to the navy, isn't this the other method that Britain thought of. The army's fighting is a heavy burden for every country, and the Allies do not have the upper hand at all. In this sense, the navy is taking a different approach.

The next European war will definitely be a comprehensive and comprehensive war. To win the war, it is not necessarily an overwhelming combat effectiveness. It requires preparation in all aspects, and some even take a different approach.

Relying on the power of a single country, it may not be possible to implement it. After the mediation of British diplomats, at the end of 1914, an unprecedented conference opened in London. The senior leaders of the London coalition command, the United States, France, and Britain were gathered together, at least at the level of the general, and even the main military leaders, were considered the highest in the military. The discussions between them directly determine the development of the battle situation in the next year.

The Allies are not only Britain, France, the United States, Britain, France, the United States, Russia and Japan, and are considered major countries of the Allies. But in the eyes of Britain, France and the United States, there is no need to say anything about other countries. Japan is not only far away from Asia, but also in terms of strength, but also in terms of second-rate and third-rate, which is about the same level as Italy, and its strength cannot be compared with European countries. There is also an important country in Europe, Russia, and in the eyes of the Allies, Russia is no longer so important.

During the war of one year, Russia's all appearances did not add points, especially under the precarious situation in the Far East, Russia's role has been greatly reduced. Even if the United States is still supporting him, the reason for supporting him is China. Countless US-dollar weapons were sent to Russia to allow him to attack China next year.

The current situation in the world, Europe has become a group, and the main forces of the Allies and the Allies are all in Europe. At present, the Allies have the upper hand, but the Allies can still persist. Who can win the European war is directly related to the world pattern in the next few years. However, outside of this pattern, there are still people who have not been involved. Needless to say, the countries in South America are all small countries with limited influence, but China is different.

That is, since the great changes in Asia, the Allies began to pay attention to China. China, which they originally regarded as a colony, rose in just a few years and was inadvertently strong. Especially this time, they realized the capabilities of the Scher fleet. Although there is no definite example to prove that these warships were made in China, there is a great possibility.

Once the population of 4.5 billion is fully armed, it will be a super army power. This has always made the Allies worry, especially China, which has never shown any attitude and is still relatively close to Germany.

In this world war involving most major countries in the world, you can do not send troops, but you have to take sides. It would be fine if you are a small country. If you are a big country and you don’t take sides, you will easily be targeted.

In the early stage of the war, Britain and the United States targeted China. Not only did the Allied countries not get orders from China, but even the sales of ordinary goods were secretly dealt with. This is the reason why it did not continue because Britain and the United States had no spare energy. Now the European war may continue, and even some of the US's forces were involved in the European war. China, a potential major country, is quite eye-catching. Britain, France and the United States cannot let it go. Although they don't know the truth that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, the truth in the world is understood.

Russia is also very good. The Tsar was stubborn and asked him to put almost all his strength in the Far East. In order to conquer Chita next year, take back the land occupied by China, and connect with East Siberia. His wish was good, but Britain, France and the United States of the Allies were not optimistic about him. I don’t know whether Chita could be captured. The possibility of East Siberia taking it back was slim. It is obvious that it is already good for him to be able to hold China back. As for counterattack, it is almost impossible.

For Britain, France and the United States, as long as Russia can hold China back for two years, they can almost solve the war situation in Europe. At that time, they will concentrate the entire European power with the United States to eliminate the hidden danger of China. If the white people's battle for hegemony is added, there will be one more China, and this style is wrong.

The purpose of this closed-door meeting is very simple, to better strengthen the integration between several countries. Before, although there was a joint command, it was more just coordination. The specific battle was arranged between countries and countries, and it was more arbitrary. Now, Britain, France and the United States have discovered that if they continue, they will not only not be able to win the European war, but also have the risk of failure. If this continues, it will be a lot of waste.

This closed-door meeting was also for this purpose. It not only needs to improve the status of the joint meeting, but also connect the mobilizations between the three countries. For example, unified management of arms and other weapons, and even training of recruits will be carried out in a unified manner. Although the languages ​​of the three countries are different, the United Kingdom and the United States are both English, and there is not much difference between French and English. Most French people can still understand English.

The advantage of this is that all the expenses between the three countries are reduced, all the power is concentrated, and the military is placed on the navy. Even the navy can use one country's funds and rely on the productivity of another country. Before, Britain and the United States were just a prototype, but now, it has taken a step further and has included France in it.

France was beaten very badly by Germany during World War I, and almost one-third of its land was occupied. However, he was still one of the world's great powers, and his foundation was still there. Not only did he have large funds for activities, but he also had a large number of colonies. As long as it was used reasonably and provided with sufficient raw materials, the cost of the United States in producing weapons, equipment and military supplies could be further reduced.

The colonies can also provide sufficient manpower. With the huge and profound American background, the colonial army can obtain better training, and no longer cannon fodder that can be discarded casually. The three companies negotiated very deeply. In many fields such as basic fields, industrial production, conscription training, etc., at least dozens of memorandums were signed. The power of the Three Kingdoms was officially established from this closed-door meeting. One plus one should be greater than two, let alone the perfect combination of the three countries. (To be continued.)
