In the last week of June, this war-torn planet has not yet completely digested the news that the Royal Navy, which traverses the seven seas, was injured in the battle of Orkney.

Italy has become a sea of ​​joy. The war speculators and verbal giants on the Apennine Peninsula are glad that they followed the right boss, while ignoring the fact that their army suffered heavy losses and the domestic economy is about to collapse. They are like a buzzing fly with wide eyes and eyeing any possible place of profit.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire also breathed a sigh of relief. After the huge double-headed Eagle Empire fell, the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the heart of Europe no longer had its opponent. On the south side of Vienna is the Ottoman Empire, on the southwest side is Italy, and on the west side is Germany. In the eyes of the Habsburg family, who must first settle the country, they can only stop fighting and enjoy the life of brothers in the world, draw their swords and look at each other in a confused way. The only thing worth considering is the axis of the allies. Will Germany, which has prospered and suffered losses, and will fall down with a bang?

Judging from the Battle of the Orkney Islands, the Allies are just around the corner, so Habsburg, who was relieved, began to indulge in love with each other until the moment of the destruction of the empire.

The Great Japanese Empire, which had Whale-swallowed Germany's interests in the Far East, was trembling and sent a special envoy to secretly contact Germany to discuss the possibility of separate peace.

Unfortunately, the declaration of war was declared, and the opened Pandora Ink cartridge could not be easily closed. Not to mention Wang Heidi's personal resentment towards Japan, even the Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were unwilling to accept the Japanese's hypocritical behavior. The Japanese could only be exploited by the German negotiating team headed by Heidi Silem in the post-war Amsterdam negotiations.

The Americans forcibly put aside the plan to send the third batch of European Continental Army and fought a war of words with Britain and France wholeheartedly. The Americans who were almost "betrayed" the British in the Naval Battle of the Orkney Islands and lost four main battleships were complained about the use of the first two batches of European Continental Army, and the Americans directly broke up with Britain and France. When the American soldiers came to Europe with red eyes, they traveled through mountains and rivers. The abominable British and French men assigned them not to regain Paris or guard the traffic line. Instead, they helped the British government suppress the Irish Island thugs with disgrace, and instead of the French command with a head stuck in the door to calm the mutiny on the Paris front.

"We are not the National Guard!" This is the most common sentence American military journalists and pastors heard in June of the war.

The French were still struggling with the rebels on the Paris front. The donkeys at the French headquarters refused to negotiate with one stone and asked hundreds of thousands of rebels to hand over all their weapons. Otherwise, they would use thunder to destroy the mutiny troops and hang the rebel leaders. The Paris front troops, which had no idea that the mutiny, were the last heavy army group in France that could be strategically mobile. Only more than 30,000 were equipped with some fire sticks, no cannons, and no fighting will.

In addition to drawing their pocket army deployed in France, the British joined forces with the first batch of US reinforcements to land on the Ireland Island counterattack the rebels. They were also plundering their naval foundations. Sometimes they claimed that the modified British old battleships were no less than ordinary dreadnoughts, sometimes they claimed that the Navy's repair of Orkney shipwrecks was smooth, and the number of main battleships of the British Empire could be restored to twenty immediately. Sometimes there were hysterical clamors that the British Empire would rebuild the large fleet again. It seemed that this would intimidate the unlimited ocean fleet and not take the opportunity to do anything.

The Ocean Fleet was indeed ready to do something. After the Ocean Fleet returned to the Navy, Chief of Staff Redell immediately submitted a sea lion plan to sink the British Isle. This plan included everything, including the First Reconnaissance Clusters and Light Cruisers to block the coastline of Britain, the Ocean Fleet's main force swept the British coastline, the Marines first occupied the Shetland Islands and even the Orkney Islands, aircraft carriers bombed Greater London, and used Zeppelin to conduct psychological warfare, as well as supporting the Irish Army and inciting the opposition between Scotland and England. Finally, the United Imperial Army directly crossed the English Channel to land on the British island.

The Navy is busy preparing for the Sea Lion Plan, and the German Western Front Army, which is increasingly marginalized due to poor results, is also taking action.

The Supreme Command gave up its plan to retake Paris and chose to bypass Paris to fight a mobile war to sweep the French rear.

This plan is somewhat confusing.

To be honest, the prosperous and rich Paris has been emptied by the German army. In addition to the symbolic role of the French capital, Paris, which is now almost in ruins, is not very strategic. In addition, the French army entrenched in Paris has become a separatist force that is not controlled by the French government. The German army not only does not need to help the French deal with housework, but also supports the French to fight a civil war. Therefore, bypassing Paris is not a whimsical idea. The question is where the German army's long-distance war comes from.

After the initial quick-decision plan went bankrupt in 1914, the German army fell into a arduous positional war and was unable to fight efficient mobile warfare, and eventually exhausted all its spirits. Now it is 1917. Although the French army is weak, the German army is also incomplete. Neither the Western Front's troops nor the logistics can guarantee the German army to engage in a large-scale mobile warfare.

"Let those guys rack their brains and guess what the Western Front Army Far War will have. No one knows that I have taken the opportunity to transfer the army back to the local area..." In a dim office at the Berlin Army Headquarters, the director of the Emperor **, who is also the commander of the Berlin garrison, squinted his eyes and sneered and threw the dart in his hand on the wall nailing the photos of the Empire Regent Max and Prime Minister Friedrich von Hedering.

Military Chief Rudendolf, Imperial Regent Max and Prime Minister Friedrich von Hedering, this is what the Berliners called "the three giants of the Empire" after Emperor William abdicated. The Imperial Navy God of War Heidi Sileme could have been included in the ranks of political giants, but the Berliners are used to treating Sileme as a soldier rather than a dirty politician.

"General, do you really not consider the joint Navy?" Major General William Grenell worried: "After the victory of Orkney, Heidi Sileme's personal prestige has surpassed you and General Hindenburg. It seems a bit reckless to choose to do it alone under the premise of unknown attitude of the Navy."

"It is indeed possible to easily disintegrate the political alliance between Prince Max and Prime Minister Hedling, and even have the opportunity to kill the old guy who seeks fame and reputation hiding behind these two people, but I refuse!" With Rudendolf's cold tone, the darts sank into Prime Minister Hedling's photo. "Grenell, you can understand this sentence as I don't have the confidence to seize leadership from Heidi Cileme. Cileme is not a good politician, and this is exactly what I fear the most!"

Rudendolf left a secret saying, and left. The Western Front Army was secretly moving towards the local border. The Berlin Guard Command secretly eliminated the forces belonging to Hindenburg, so the Emperor had to be very busy.
