As the only superpower on the planet in the early 20th century, the Sun never set Empire showed the world the awesomeness and wealth of John's cow. Even if the large fleet was defeated, even if the sea transport that was crucial to Britain was paralyzed, even if the Irish riots continued, the British still did not mention peace negotiations. They transported tons of gold and silver from the treasury and cellars, borrowed foreign debts like crazy, and gritted their teeth until the 1917 when the situation was changing.

At the beginning of the European war, the Royal Navy Battle Patrol had ten battlecruisers, including three lion-class battle cruisers, one lion-class enhanced version of the Tiger Battle, three tireless-class battle patrols and three invincible-class battle patrols. However, in mid-1916, the Invincible-class battle patrols and the Queen Mary battle patrols sank in the Dogersal Seashore Naval Battle, the Tiger Battle, the Royal Princess, the Devoured and the Australian Battle patrols sank in the Jutland Naval Battle. The British Battle Patrol, which once had twice the number of main battleships than the German reconnaissance fleet, had only four battle patrols left in a very desolate manner.

The same is true for the Royal Navy's main fleet. At the beginning of the outbreak of the European war, the Royal Navy had twenty-six battleships, including four Iron Dukes, four King George V, four Orion, two Giant, one Neptune, three Saint Vincent, three Berlerofon, one Fearless, two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships and two export ships that were robbed. At the same time, Germany had only seventeen battleships, but in 1916

In the middle of the fleet, there were only eighteen battleships left: the battleship of the Bold fell into thunder in Scotland, the battleship of the Thor sank in Dogel Sands, the battleship of the Seven Turrets Agincourts sank in the Battle of Mudros Bay, the battleship of the Reckless and Ajax were destroyed and scrapped in the Battle of Jutland. The battleship of the War-Welfare was directly damaged and scrapped. The battleship of the Ireland and Orion were sunk in the Battle of Portsmouth, and the numerical advantage of the large fleet was almost negligible.

In mid-1916, after arduous battles, the German Ocean Fleet had surpassed the British Fleet. As the world's first naval power, the British Empire lost eight battleships and six battlecruisers in a very embarrassing manner, so that the local coastline was directly exposed to the German naval guns.

The fourteen main battleships suffered losses, which made many so-called naval powers daunt. If it was a Mediterranean powerhouse or a Far East Japan, then Germany could proudly declare that the country had no naval presence. But even so, John Bull still survived.

In 1917, relying on the British Empire's powerful shipbuilding industry and determination to spare no expenses, the strength of the large fleet soared, surpassing the early levels of the European War, while steadily suppressing the oceanic fleet that lacked stamina across the North Sea.

In early February, all three British reputation-class battle patrols were put into service, plus four magically modified Elizabeth-class battle patrols, two King Kong-class battle patrols and four Scargerac lucky ones. The British Empire had three battle patrol teams at this time, a total of thirteen battle cruisers.

The British spared no effort to build the main fleet of the Great Fleet. The sinking of the seven turrets and the auspicious ships was not enough to prompt the stubborn John Niu to realize the truth. The unrepentant British people were hungry and let the Canadian-class battleships bloom in the old trees of the Great Fleet. The married girl who was exported to South America returned to the UK with the pseudonym Singapore and Hong Kong. In addition to the five enhanced Revenge-class battleships, the number of Royal Navy battleships has reached twenty-six again.

At this time, the Royal Navy defeated the Germans in terms of quantity, both the battle patrol team and the main fleet. As for the number of its navy overwhelming Germany or the quality advantage of the Germans, John Bull showed the world their confidence: even though the North Sea was windy and harsh and violent in winter, the large fleet stationed in Scapa Bay was still active, and in just two months in 1917, the aerial reconnaissance forces had repeatedly observed the British cruise fleet that advanced out of the northern edge of the Helgolan Bay.

A new maritime decisive battle is imperative, but the Supreme Command is still determined to do so. The Army rejected the Admiralty's request to re-enlist Wang Heidi. It seems that once Wang Heidi returns to the German headquarters, the end of the world will come to earth.

Wang Heidi was also happy to be idle. The former Admiral rejected the proposal of Micha Ellis to serve as a military officer in the U.S., packed his luggage and returned to Kiel.

Wang Heidi, who was under 40, began to write his first personal memoir. He occasionally went to the Kiel Naval Academy to explain the art of naval combat command to his juniors. Wang Heidi was also lucky enough to attend the service ceremony of the Markensen-class battle patrol ships 2 and 3, but the Navy did not dare to give Wang Heidi the opportunity to preside over the ceremony.

Time has passed like this, and there seems to be no moment worth remembering in history. Historians say that this is one of the darkest periods of Heidi Silem's life, but from the diary of Wang Heidi's daughter Avril, many conspirators have seen a clue.

On an inconspicuous day in February, the commander of the Eastern Front of the Imperial Army, Max Hoffman, briefly visited Wang Heidi at his unemployed home. Two former patients talked in a closed door on the second floor of the beachfront villa in which Wang Heidi did not bring the garden for a long time, and then Wang Heidi personally sent Hoffman out. Also in February, Prime Minister Bateman's personal assistant and former Imperial Navy Secretary Tirpitz also appeared in Kiel.

It was a long time after historians learned about these details. Wang Heidi, who returned to Germany, attracted a lot of attention. However, when the land war started again and the navy did not move for a long time, the Germans' limited energy was involved in the various army, and Wang Heidi was forgotten.

Wang Heidi had no intention of losing. The former deputy commander of the Ocean Fleet was sure that although the army temporarily dominated everything in this country, as long as the army wanted to open up the situation and get rid of the quagmire of lasting war, it was impossible to leave the navy. Wang Heidi could not leave him, and he would definitely return to the German headquarters, but now he lacked a chance.

In early March, the British and French coalition forces, which were severely damaged on the Western Front, did not make much move. Faced with the soldiers with low morale, the heads and minds of the coalition command gave the truth of picking persimmons and picking soft pinched, so the 300,000 British and French coalition forces shouted "Don't fight the German army, only the puppet army", and rushed towards the Italian army that could not move in the hinterland of the Alps like a hungry tiger.

The Tsar's personal expedition put too much pressure on the Russian army on the Eastern Front. Without completing the preliminary preparations for the battle, the Russian army took the lead in launching a fearless attack on the German and Austrian coalition forces that were defending the dangerous situation.

With the rest of 1916, the Russian army made great progress in terms of officer level and soldiers' quality. In addition, the Tsar's supervision, he wore various military uniforms and held different models of Russian gray animals in the early stage of the battle, and the German and Austrian coalition quickly lost their front-line positions, and the number of casualties continued to rise.

When the Russian army broke through the German defense line and entered the heartland of Poland, Russia, from the Tsar to ordinary soldiers, was knocked out by victory. They thought the great Russian army would fight to East Prussia and complete feats that neither the British nor the French could accomplish.

According to the experience gained by the British and French coalition forces from the Western Front, once the German army made up their minds to defend and did not lack troops, it could not be defeated head-on. However, no Russian officer was willing to pay attention to the kind advice of his allies. The Russian army launched a massive offensive on the Polish plains, with gray animals moving forward, Cossacks moving forward, and the emperor's headquarters moving forward.

In early April, the intensity of the battle rose sharply, and the German and Austrian coalition forces took the stance to not give in to the inch of land and fought with the Russian army. The Russian supply line was lengthened, the original logistics supply system and the rear-level politics could no longer meet the needs of supplying the Russian army on the front line. The Tsar's hawks had to step up their search and exploitation to meet the bottomless pit of the war. The Russian army's living forces were consumed in large quantities. As experienced officers and soldiers were killed, the Russian army's combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and everything returned to the old road of human sea tactics. Russian livestock in the rear were thrown into the army by recruiting officers in the form of men and then swallowed up by German machine guns. This invisible war made the Russians more desperate, the conflicts in the rear were intensified, small-scale riots were surging, the Bolsheviks and the Workers' Party were making waves, and the Russian offensive momentum on the front line was also becoming weaker and weaker.

On April 6, German and Austrian troops with unknown numbers appeared on both wings of the Russian army. The Russian army realized that the situation was not good and had just stepped down from the retreat order, and they were surrounded by millions of German and Austrian coalition forces.

History is surprisingly similar. In the Galician offensive in 1915, the German army laid the famous "Polish Pocket" in Poland and pushed the front line to the Gulf of Riga and the Transnistria River. In 1917, Max Hoffmann used the same trick again and simply showed that the enemy was weak, more than 700,000 Russian troops took the initiative to enter the "Polish Pocket No. 2". The Fifth and Seventh Army surrounded the two wings. In less than a week, the 700,000 Russian troops disappeared as a whole.

Starting from mid-April, the German army on the Eastern Front changed from the defensive to the offensive, and the Russian army was defeated. Even if the Tsar commanded the expedition in person, it could not stop all this. Russia was already in chaos, and no one knew where the German army would stop this time. In the critical survival, the British and French coalition forces, who were afraid that Russia would collapse, launched an attack on the Western Front.

From March to early April, the British and French forces rush to deal with the puppet troops of the Allied Powers. The weakly equipped Italians were defeated by the British and French forces who were eager to find psychological balance. All the important Alps that they had finally occupied were lost. An elite French force even took the opportunity to invade northern Italy. The foodies in Rome were panicked and shocked every day.

In mid-April, the British and French coalition forces returned to the central front line of France. The British and French coalition forces, which restored morale, counterattacked Paris with weapons aided by Americans. Because the Supreme Command overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Italians, the time for Britain and France to resume the Western Front was insufficient, resulting in a large number of troops being drawn and strengthened to the Eastern Front. Therefore, in the early stage of the Western Front defense war, the German army fought extremely hard. The crazy British and French coalition forces opened the way with artillery and poison gas bombs and broke into Paris strongly. The German troops fighting on both sides were quickly consumed half of the materials reserved last winter.

Everyone knows that the magnificent war in 1917 has just begun.
