On the European battlefield, in the Battle of Verdun, Germany attacked with its superior forces with all its strength, but failed and failed to capture the city.●⌒,

But after all, more than 350,000 troops were assembled, and their strength was still strong, so we temporarily returned to the stage of confrontation between the two sides.

And in Amiens, this war broke out soon, the Battle of the Somme!

This time it was Ferdinand Foch who faced Shi Lifen. These two guys had a fight before, so let's come back this time.

The reason for this battle was to be fought immediately was entirely because of the Battle of Verdun. Because Amiens was north of Verdun, in fact, in the northwest, because Verdun was more prominent, then if we could make a breakthrough from Amiens and tear open the German defense line, wouldn’t this be equivalent to resolving Verdun’s crisis?

Moreover, this is a key opportunity to take the initiative again. After the breakthrough here, Verdun's German army was in a state of being surrounded, and the battle situation was completely reversed!

It should be said that the Europeans' tactics are not bad, really, but the president is still fighting a stupid war, and the same is true for this combat plan, because everyone can see this strategic intention.

So since that is the case, the investment between both parties is definitely not bad...

Hulala... Hulalala...

There are ditches and barbed wire everywhere, and there are sounds of metal tracks rubbing against gears on both sides!

"Look at that! The British tank is so fucking ugly!"

"It's still our German tanks that look good! There's at least one head on it!"

German soldiers complained in the position, and they were right. The British tanks were still diamond-shaped quadrilaterals. On the German side, there was a tractor with a turret on it...the prototype of T34.

But, in fact, the British and French coalition forces also have the same tank, of course... this was bought from the Pacific Empire.

"Ha! We are a mixed formation!"

"This will give full play to the advantages of both tanks!"

The soldiers on the British and French coalition forces were very happy, as if they had more types of tanks on their side, which was called more variety.

Well, the Pacific Empire tanks, plus the British tanks, seem to be a good combination, but if it is really opened...

Boom! Boom!

Dada da... Dada da...

There were not many German tanks. There were only less than ten tanks on the British and French coalition forces, and British tanks accounted for the majority. However, after the two sides met, they bombarded each other... The British discovered that there were no cannons on their tanks!

At this time, the main gun of the imitated T34 tank is only 60 mm, which is basically the caliber of a mortar, but don’t underestimate this thing, this is already very, very awesome!

At present, there are only ones in the world who can run around with such "big caliber" cannons.

The British tanks have not yet been equipped with artillery, and this artillery is not easy to install. You have to go through a lot of experiments, otherwise where the shells are placed, what to do with the shell shells, the rotation of the turret, the direction adjustment, or the recoil bearing. Maybe it will overturn after one shot, this is possible.

So... the British tank became a burden!

"Ohhhh! We won!"

"Run!"

Germany has gained an advantage on the battlefield!

Fortunately, after all, there is a Somme River, Foch has had experience of failure before, so he at least guarded Amiens this time.

However, the price paid is also extremely high...

But this battle was also a precedent in human history, that is, both sides used mechanized troops!

This matter definitely needs to be written in a big way, because before, although Germany's tactics were very mobile and flexible, they actually did not change much from previous tactics, and it was still the same.

Even on the European continent, many generals led their troops to fight, and their combat methods were still very similar to the previous gun platoon formation, rushing forward in dense formations!

This is true. Not only Russia, but many countries play this way.

The reason for this... is very simple!

I don't know anything else!

Don't doubt that almost all generals from European countries shouted like this, because they really don't know other ways of fighting.

It should be said that this is the case in this era. The generals of this era still have the same thinking as before, because they learned this kind of combat, and now, weapons have been upgraded on a large scale!

By the way, weapons have been upgraded on a large scale, but Europe's combat methods have almost no changes. If we talk about the previous war, the only Franco-Prussian War, which was from more than 20 years ago.

Of course, the news in Europe is relatively smooth. Of course, European generals also know about trenches, machine guns, mortars, howitzers, and even tanks that are now used. However, in the previous battles, these new weapons were used on a large scale, such as machine guns, mortars, and howitzers. These are mainly in the New World or in Asia!

In other words, European generals have heard of such battles and some legends... There is no way, the news is transmitted at this time, and the war is fought, but if you want to know the specific details, sorry, it is difficult for you to know some of the details if you don’t come in person. And what is passed on is unknown how much oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are added.

Therefore, this world war has reached this point, and many generals are like idiots. They have made countless mistakes, and many mistakes are simply unforgivable.

But there is nothing to do with this, because everyone doesn't understand how to fight the current war, really.

At this point in the war, millions of soldiers were killed on the European battlefield, and countless wounded people were even more. Verdun was called a meat grinder, and the Somme was not bad at all, so...

"Welcome! Warm welcome!"

"Welcome the application warriors coming to the New World!"

"Thanks to the Pacific Empire for its military assistance!"

On June 1, 1895, Paris in France was crowded with people and bustling. These people were waving the French flag, the Pacific Empire flag, and of course, some British flags.

Then this matter...

"Hello comrades!" Li Zhenhua, sitting in the convertible, was greeting the enthusiastic French people!

That's right, the army of the Pacific Empire is here!

The volunteer army of the Pacific Empire, including various personnel, such as logistics, cooking and transportation, had almost 100,000 people. They had successfully landed in France. As the nominal commander of this army, Crown Prince Li Zhenhua, of course, had to make a gesture in Paris.

Crown Prince Li Zhenhua is of course Li Mengyang's eldest son. Obviously, according to ancient rules, the Pacific Empire should be inherited by him, Li Zhenhua, in the future. But to be honest, Li Mengyang actually didn't want to do this, because his son may not be a hero, and he felt that he was inconsistent with the second generation of rich officials and second generations.

There is no way, although this rich second generation plus the official second generation is his own son.

However, the forces in all aspects of the Pacific Empire, even the public opinion, are very hopeful, and the Li family should continue to rule. In the future, His Majesty the Emperor and others can learn from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. They only control the power of the country and do not participate in government affairs.

So, Li Mengyang had nothing to say. If he wanted to be hereditary, he should be hereditary. Fortunately, Li Zhenhua is not bad, he is quite generous and kind. Li Mengyang's educational principle is that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He raises children as ordinary children, goes to school, joins the army, and does all kinds of things, so that he can grow up.

Li Zhenhua came to Europe, and he thought it was quite fresh. Moreover, this kid was 27 years old, but he was very good-looking and taller than his father. At this time, he was wearing a white military uniform and showing off his four-clawed golden dragon. He was also very heroic, but what he shouted...

"Your Highness, it's not popular here for comrades." George Lee was followed by, and he is mainly engaged in diplomacy now.

"Thank you for your reminder." Li Zhenhua was very polite. George Li was his elder after all.

This kid is not bad... George Lee gave a comment in his heart.

But however, Li Zhenhua is definitely just a look in Paris. As the commander of this volunteer army, he is actually just wearing such a name. He doesn't need to go to the battlefield, and he doesn't even need too much command.

Before the volunteer army of the Pacific Empire left, His Majesty Li Mengyang, the emperor, made a request: to fully trust the generals' judgment!

That's right, Li Mengyang fully delegated power this time, and he didn't make any detailed plans. He just asked these guys to land in Europe and shouted.

"Lafayette! We're here!"

Yes, this sentence must be shouted, and must not be forgotten, because this sentence has many meanings, and it inherited France's previous great kindness to the United States.

Lafayette was the supreme military commander of the French Revolution later. This guy was fighting the War of Independence in the United States before. This guy was really awesome. He made great efforts for the Americans' independence cause. In the end, the Americans named Lafayette a major general in order to thank him!

You know, Washington was the rank of lieutenant general at that time, and this one was pursued later. In other words, Lafayette had a very good relationship with Washington. At that time, the American Revolutionary War was led by a dual-core leader.

Therefore, this sentence must be shouted, because it means that we have inherited the spirit of the United States. You French have given us help, and we all remember it.

You really don’t want to say that, it’s really good to shout like this. The French people support the Pacific Volunteer Army very much.

So, you are here, how can you fight this battle?

Go straight to Verdun or the Somme?
Chapter completed!
