Epilogue (VII) Predictable ending

(Many people say that I did not explain the protagonist's emotional line. I promise that I will give you a happy ending that is not a stallion in the ending chapter. Please see!)

For a long time, the Soviets' crazy actions of self-harm and withdrawing from the war and the "Brest Peace Treaty", which historians called the direct trigger of World War II, have been criticized by the Allies. It seems that if the Soviets were a little stubborn at that time, the balance of victory would completely turn to the great Allies.

It turns out that this is just a fantasy of the Allies.

At the end of September, the Japanese sent their peace signals to Berlin through Switzerland, but were pushed back by the German Foreign Ministry led by Querman in a super tough manner.

The Swiss, who acted as the Japanese envoy, thought Germany would easily let Japan, which was willing to give up Jiaozhou Bay and all the German Pacific colonies, had a good reason. The three-year brutal war exhausted the whole of Europe. The Americans, who should have become the last straw that overwhelmed camels, retreated back to America in a desperate situation because of a decisive failure in the Battle of the Orkney Islands, and became a turtle. The war continued to stalemate in September 1917.

In fact, the war has gone through here no longer a simple battle of military literacy, mobilization ability, military technology and strategic art, and it is also an ultimate confrontation between several powerful national endurance and willpower with glorious history. In this bayonet confrontation, Silem led Germany out of the haze of civil war with his wisdom, allowing Germany to gain the upper hand again after experiencing ups and downs.

Now is the critical moment when Yipeng pursues the defeated enemy. The Swiss do not believe that the Germans dare to distract themselves at this time.

The fact is that the Swiss hit the stubborn German Ministry of Foreign Affairs head-on, and then fell into disgrace with General Hoffman, the German Army General Manager. Without any permission, the Swiss found Heidi Silem. As a result, the high-powered Wang Heidi completely exposed his true nature as Germany's number one anti-Japanese faction and brazenly refused to engage in any form of negotiation with the Japanese.

The Swiss did not know that even in another time and space when Germany was defeated, the head of state brazenly sounded the clarion call for counterattack and led the lonely Germany toward revival. The German Foreign Ministry still obsessed with the humiliating Qingdao war in the context of the abnormal need for the support of allies in the Third Reich, and unswervingly played the role of the mainstay of the anti-Japanese faction in the political life of the empire.

The German Army also maintained a disapproval of the Japanese. Only the navy led by Raidel fell in love with the Japanese fleet and barely acted as a pro-Japanese faction. But now, as long as the naval officers and soldiers who participated in the Battle of the Orkney Islands would not have any favorable feelings for the Japanese who rented two King Kong-class battlecruisers from the British, let alone the historical anomaly of Wang Heidi.

After walking around, the Swiss who were entrusted by others were somewhat dirty and confused.

In 1917, although the Germans still firmly controlled several territories in Africa and had a tendency to expand territory after two large-scale maritime aids by the German Navy, all German colonies in Asia had been lost. Even if Heidi Silem is invincible in the world, the Germans could not fight the Pacific Ocean without support and guarantee!

The Swiss could not think of a way that Germany could use to sanction Japan. It was not until the cold winter of 1917 continued to the Amsterdam negotiations in early spring of the following year. Japan, as a participating country, was divided into the third-level country, and was tied with the unclear three strongholds of Greece, China, and South American ABC, which did not participate in the war. Only then did the Swiss realize it.

The Swiss passed the news back to Japan. Although it did not cause a super earthquake in the Kanto Plain, there were still shock and fear.

The soldiers and politicians of the Great Japanese Empire did not believe that the Germans would go to the ocean and provoke trouble in the coastal areas of the Japanese archipelago. However, they never doubted the inevitability of the Germans returning to Asia. The Japanese already had a Soviet Russia who would tear up the agreement and break the tacit understanding as long as they restored their strength. They really did not want to establish another powerful enemy for themselves in the Far East.

On this side, the Japanese were thinking hard about ways to end the war, but on the other side, the Gaul rooster finally couldn't hold on and fell down in early autumn.

After the Berlin mutiny, the French were keenly aware that various German factions had the intention of political reconciliation. In order to resolve the Paris mutiny as soon as possible and accumulate strength to deal with the counterattack of the German army, the French government began to hold negotiations with the Paris rebels.

This time, the French government put its posture very low, but did not expect that the rebels entrenched in Paris did not believe in the sudden low posture of the French government, which was always the only one.

In the late summer and early autumn as precious as gold, the French government continued to weaken in four consecutive rounds of negotiations ended in failure. After reaching an agreement with the Paris rebels, they wasted too much time to sort out the French command system. At the same time, the German Republic was established, the Brest and the Treaty of Germany and Poland were signed, and the German Marine Corps suddenly landed on the British Northern Ireland Island. The German Army continued to increase its troops in the French front and intimidated France.

Faced with this internal and external difficulties, the French had to lower their arrogant heads and send out signals of goodwill.

Of course, the French did not know that the German army gathered on the Western Front was not as terrible as the Allies imagined.

The Kiel Rebellion and the Schleswig Rebellion brought catastrophic and devastating impacts on the production of the Emperor's workers. After the founding of the German Republic, the new government led by Albert unexpectedly abolished some policies to exploit workers. In addition, there was no other military genius in the Republic who was as energetic and capable as Rudendolf, so the Emperor's need to produce did not increase but decreased in a short period of time.

The German troops gathered on the Western Front were not enough to launch a large-scale battle, and the troops on the Western Front were far from reaching their ideal state.

The French, who were too busy to take care of themselves, naturally did not know these secrets, so they had to make a difficult decision. If the German Army stopped at war, France had to pay something, maybe it was North Africa, maybe it was the local northern territory, maybe it was Indochina, or astronomical compensation. No matter which one it was, it would be an unbearable weight for France.

Germany happily accepted the goodwill of the French and levitatedly wrote a check to cede the territory north of Paris and transfer the interests of several islands in North Africa, Morocco and Libya, Indochina, Indian Ocean and Pacific.

The French obviously would not accept the German lion's words, but even if the French were angry, they had to continue the negotiations and hoped that they could get things they could not get on the battlefield at the negotiating table, just like the Sino-French Treaty in the last century, or hope that the French army with a glorious history could take advantage of the tide of the Western Front to achieve self-salvation from the soul to the highest level.

The French were still struggling with the bottom line of the truce, but they didn't expect that John Bull bowed his head and gave in before them.

To be honest, the French, as a land power, may not be really afraid to stand firm with the German army. Although France has lost its potential for war, it may not be impossible to drag the Germans to death in Paris, or elsewhere in southern Paris. Rather than saying that the French have completely lost their will to fight, the French are afraid to destroy the essence of their local industrial and brilliant history.

The situation of the British is very different from that of France.

The British were born not afraid of the famous German Army. After all, no matter how powerful the army was, they could not swim across the English Channel. The only thing the British feared was the loss of maritime power.

The British Empire never imagined that one day the vast ocean no longer belonged to the rice-shaped flag. However, what seemed impossible really happened.

The Germans defeated the Royal Navy twice in a row under the same sea of ​​stars!

After the Battle of Orkney Islands, the British shrank their troops desperately and focused on local defense. They even dug out the "existence fleet" theory proposed by Tirpitz many years ago, looking for the possibility of checking and balancing the Silame fleet.

When World War I first broke out, except for Wang Heidi, most German naval generals were not optimistic about the sea decisive battle with the British, and stubbornly believed that a "existent fleet" could effectively restrain the British's huge main fleet. However, the British, who had natural geographical advantages, were wandering between the glorious "Trafalgar-style decisive battle" and the reality of "long-range blockade".

After a cycle of reincarnation, the situation at sea completely reversed.

The Germans opened up the maritime transportation line and firmly controlled the sea control power of the North Atlantic. The weak British could only hide their remaining battleships into a safe dock. They hoped that the "existing large fleet" could contain a considerable number of German battleships and would not completely lose the sea control power of the British Empire.

The British expected the German navy to be self-confidence, but the oceanic fleet with Heidi Sileme would not make such a low-level mistake. Under the command of Wang Heidi, the German navy instigated the army to completely grasp the French coastline across the sea from the British, constantly eroding British islands such as the Orkney Islands, and infiltrating the power into the chaotic Ireland, trying to gain a foothold.

In addition, the main fleet of the Ocean Fleet has long swept the British's near sea. These slow-speed iron turtles did not pursue a beautiful encounter with the British main battleship, but instead carried out oppression to the end. Under the leadership of the Battle Patrol, the reconnaissance fleet of the Ocean Fleet pursued the north in the vast Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean, completely paralyzed the British's maritime transportation line.

For a moment, the British Empire's maritime transportation line was full of smoke, and the stunned British people realized that the Germans changed General Jelico's theory of "remote blockade" and returned it to themselves intact.

In the miserable autumn, the bulls on the British Islands were already in a state of hunger and cold. Suddenly, they heard the news that a fleet of ocean transport ships had been destroyed in the waters 150 nautical miles east of New York Harbor. John Bull finally couldn't hold on and raised the white flag in a hesitant manner.

In mid-October, three German Markensen-class battle patrolmen hunting near the U.S. coastline captured a fleet of transport ships escorted by two temporarily modified Brave-class large light cruisers and two 10,000-ton armored cruisers.

This is the only transport fleet to the UK recently. Since the Germans launched the blockade war, the number of merchant ships in the British Empire has plummeted, and foreign ship owners have been afraid of the trip to Britain. In addition to a few domestic merchant ships, the fleets traveling to and from British ports have almost completely disappeared.

After the short firefight, the Markensen-class battle patrol once again gained considerable results, especially the sinking of two brave-class large light cruisers equipped with 15-inch cannons. Of course, the subsequent news of the British "sacrifice" was even more delicious than sinking the brave-class.
