On November 1, 1914, the continental monsoon had already begun to turn, and the approaching Siberian air-conditioning mass made the North Sea more manic and uneasy.

At one o'clock in the morning, the night was deep, and the chill of late autumn and the lonely waves of the sea lingered at the Pier of Helgoland. With the cool moonlight, the commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet, Lieutenant General Franz von Hippel and Deputy Commander Major General Heidi Sileme, the commander of the Second Reconnaissance Fleet and the commander of the Hewan Patrol Fleet, wrapped in a thin cloak, watched the attack fleet composed of the Mainz light patrol, twelve destroyers and nine modified Bermining submarines set off for the dangerous English Channel.

In November, the war in Europe became increasingly fierce. After the Battle of Helgolan Bay on August 23, the frightened German Emperor ignored the excitement of the middle and lower-level officers of the navy and insisted on banning his heart, the Ocean Fleet. However, there are policies and countermeasures at the top. General Ingnore's obscure and difficult hints, the bold shelter of the Navy General Staff and the unique planning of Wang Heidi, are of great importance.

The support fleet of the foreign fleet often used routine patrols and mine-building missions to cause wind and rain in the vast North Sea and the narrow English Channel. A large number of German lightning strike ships and mine-burning ships disguised as British merchant ships and lay mines into the easy-to-understand British coastlines. German cruisers, submarines and destroyers appeared at will in the southern part of the North Sea, intercepting and detaining merchant ships of the Allied countries, so that the British exclaimed that "The North Sea is no longer the sea of ​​the British Empire."

At the same time, the war on the continent was in full swing. On August 21, the German army began to attack France. Thanks to its efficient mobilization system and good military quality, the German army's offensive on the French border was unstoppable and soon approached Paris and the River Drummarne. However, the British aid was swift and powerful. Although the brave German navy sunk three British transport ships and several escort warships, easily causing the death of 5,000 British pocket army and delaying the British reinforcement of France, the British navy still

However, before the Battle of Marne, 60,000 troops were transported to the left wing of the French army. In September, the German army even broke into the outskirts of Paris, but under the desperate resistance of the British and French coalition forces, both sides were both injured and had to transfer to positional warfare. Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Moltke Jr. realized that his quick-decision plan might go bankrupt. In order to save the initiative of the war, the army cut off the transportation lines between Britain and France and realized tactical detours, the army launched a mobile warfare running to the seaside. At the request of the Army Staff, the navy also joined in.

The lights of formations flashed on the mast of the Mainz cruiser. The small fleet sneaked out of Helgoland Island in the hazy night and headed towards the dark English Channel. The next morning, light patrols and destroyers would attack the coastline of the southern British Islands to cover the mine-burning submarines to cross the British sea blockade composed of old-fashioned dreadnoughts, destroyers and mines to lay mines on the busy waterways of the English Channel.

"Silem, I'm worried that this kind of small-scale fight and cold gun will not change the stalemate of the Army in northern France..."

The young emperor would never allow the Ocean Fleet to go out of the Gulf of Helgoland. The navy could only retreat and sent some light ships to carry out sneak attacks on the maritime transportation line of the English Channel. In Hippel's view, this harassing tactic could not stop Britain from replenishing the French defense line. Germany seemed to have been trapped in a terrible protracted war and attrition war, and Lieutenant General Hippel was worried about this.

"Commander, don't look at the British who are now madly increasing their troops to France, and are happy for their reinforcements and are complacent to defend Paris." After the raid fleet set off, the otaku was a little sleepy. He blew his eyes casually, spread his hands and muttered: "In another month, when the danger approaches the British coastline, the people of the British Empire will miss their pocket army deeply trapped in northern France. They will be embarrassed to find that there is no soldiers in the British islands at all to be sent to defend!"

Since Germany and Britain declared war on August 4, war has spread around the world.

In Africa, the British and French colonial forces attacked the German colonies. However, the British and French General Army, composed of a small number of professional Allied soldiers who had been distant for a long time and indigenous people who were not diligent in combat, was no match for the German colonial Self-Defense Forces. Paul Von Wolbeck, commander of the German East African Colonial Army, commanded his Self-Defense Forces and Marines to carry out effective jungle warfare and guerrilla warfare in the East African jungle for several years, forcing Britain to continuously draw troops from the Far East and India. The Allied Forces once exceeded 45,000, but even so, the Allied Forces still failed to capture German East Africa as scheduled, and the battle fell into a state of anxiety since the beginning.

In the Indian Ocean, the "Swan of the East" commanded by von Muller, the cruiser Emden began its romantic legendary journey. From early September to late October 1914, the USS Emden light patrol traveled across the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans, sinking an old British unprotected cruiser, a Russian auxiliary cruiser, a French destroyer and other merchant ships, with a total tonnage of more than 120,000 tons. The guerrillas of the USS Emden caused great panic among the Allies. The British Mediterranean Fleet, the Far East Fleet stationed in India and Singapore, the colonial warships of Australia and New Zealand, and the French and Russian auxiliary warships gathered in the Indian Ocean, and the gongs were ringing the gongs in this ancient sea to start a siege against the "Swan of the East" to intercept the speed of life and death.

At the same time, the Konysburg light patrol led by Marx von Lov was no less exciting than the Emden. At the beginning of August, Konysburg resolutely sank a British 2,000-ton reconnaissance cruiser in the face of three British cruisers, and fled into Lake Tanganiga via the Lafiji River. In the following time, Captain Marx von Lov and Paul Von Wolbeck, commander of the East African Colonial Army, joined forces to perform a passionate period in the jungle of East African.

In East Asia, Japan was happily mobilizing the war, the joint fleet gathered in Kagoshima, and the standing division could not wait to board the ship. Even the ally Britain was shocked by the urgency. Wang Heidi wrote to the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before the war, suggesting that the Empire give up Jiaozhou Bay and return it to the Republic of China. However, in this time and space, there was no Chinese seven-foot man named Li Zicheng, who could not tolerate the speechless inner barrier of fate. Yuan Datou, who was the stealer of the country, declared that the Republic of China was neutral without any surprise. Germany wanted to return the colony but failed, and the Governor of Qingdao had to support it with the numerous forts in Jiaozhou Bay. At this time, German colonies such as the Caroline Islands, New Guinea, and Samoa had long been lost.

In the Pacific Ocean, Earl Spee's East Asian fleet looked back from New Guinea on August 7, shot a shot in the Caroline Islands on August 9, and sank a French gunboat in Papiti Port on September 22. Earl Spee's misunderstandings successfully confused the Allies' sight. Britain, France and the passively slackened Japan mobilized troops to set up a layer of defense on the East Asian ocean. So Earl Spee, his two large armored ships and three light cruisers, easily embarked on a journey home.

On November 1, 1914, early in the morning, the South Pacific sea breeze blew the naval flag on the mast of the large armored ship of the Schanehorst.

"Oden, how far is it from Conerol?" Lieutenant General Maximilian von Speyer stood on the bridge of the Schánhorst, facing the beautiful rising sun and the cool sea breeze of the South Pacific, while enjoying the rare leisure before the war while tasting coffee.

On October 29, Lieutenant General Spee received information from the light cruiser of the USS Leipzig: the British light cruiser Glasgow was cruising in the waters near Conerol, Chile. The single cruiser Glasgow was obviously a gift from the door. Earl Spee was determined to accept it, and the strong East Asian fleet began to advance towards Conerol.

What Lieutenant General Spee didn't know was that almost at the same time he received the intelligence, the South American Squadron, the only force in South America, also received a telegram from the Glasgow light tour: "The telegram from the German ship is intercepted, and it is probably the Redston light tour!"

Redston, who was alone, was obviously a delicious meal. Major General Christopher Cradock, who was eager to make a contribution, abandoned the old man's star battleship, led the Cape of Good Hope and the Armored Cruiser of Emmons, the Glasgow Light Cruiser and the Otranto auxiliary cruiser to the Conerol Sea.

"At the latest 4 pm, you will hear the news of the sinking of the Glasgow!" Bernhard von Oden raised his head slightly and said proudly.

On November 1, 1914, the Black Sea was in a turbulent wind and high waves.

A miscellaneous fleet consisting of the battlecruiser of the Yavos-Selim Sultan (formerly German Goben), the Mittier light cruiser (formerly German Braures), the Hamideye English armored cruiser, the Mechtier American armored cruiser, and four German lightning strike ships cruising in the waters near the Russian Krim Peninsula in the Black Sea and looking for fighter planes.

Since the outbreak of World War I, the situation in the Mediterranean has been complicated and strange. Italy, a member of the Allies, was self-appreciated at the beginning of the war, and the Allies tried to win over it, and used their feelings to tempt it with reason to tempt it for profit. However, the Allies were indifferent to this. A joke had been circulating for a long time. American reporters asked a German general, trying to analyze the reason why Germany ignored the Italians. The German general frowned and said that if Italy remained neutral, they could accept the facts calmly, even though they would leave three divisions to guard against Italy's sneak attacks; if Italy declared war on Germany, they would be ecstatic, because only two German divisions could destroy Italy; if Italy joined the Allies, it would be too bad. They would send at least eight divisions to defend Italy, just like they did to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The change in the Balkan situation was also quite dramatic. The weak Ottoman Empire did not want to join the war. They strictly adhered to neutrality. Unfortunately, the arrogant British smiled and pushed the Turks into the arms of the Allies. After the war, Churchill made a hypocritical defense for Britain in his "Memoirs of World War I", and slandered the helpless Turks in all kinds of ways. However, no Europeans knew that Sir Churchill's ability to turn his hands around and turn his hands into rain!

On August 2, 1914, the Turkish people who were out of stock were excited. General Enzell, the famous pro-German faction, the leader of the three giants of Turkey's high-ranking countries, unceremoniously claimed to join the Allies. Even the Turkish Navy, which was trained by the British, was also disloyal to the treacherous Britain. At the same time, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Navy announced that they would sell the Goben Battle Cruise and the Blaures Light Cruise to Turkey. This move is a magical stroke. In October, it was imperative for the Ottoman Empire to participate in the war.

On October 29, Lieutenant General Wilheim Sorochin, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of the Turkish Navy, led a battle patrol. Three cruisers and four destroyers attacked Russia's ports in the Black Sea, opening the prelude to Turkey's participation in the war.

On October 30, the attacked Russia announced a state of war with the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Lieutenant General Andrei Augustovic Eberhard, commander-in-chief of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, led five battleships, two cruisers and twelve destroyers to move south, intending to encircle Sorochin's "Turkish" fleet.

"When the British Army used a stock on the Tyne to drive me and my sailors away, I vowed to take revenge on Britain!" Rauff, the captain of the Armored Ship of the Hamideyer, turned his head and looked at Captain Gunther-Lutjens, and said solemnly. "I know it is difficult to achieve it, but I will never give up easily!"

Gunther Lütjens, who has been promoted to a captain of the navy and has become the deputy captain of the armored cruiser of the Hamideye, looked at Rausw with a serious face and smiled and handed out his hand of friendship.

"Captain, believe me, Germany will be your closest and most reliable comrade-in-arms with the Ottoman Empire!"

[Haha, I will spoof the speechless fate of "New Era 1912". Book friends here must not tell me. Sneak spoof, don't shoot! Also, is this third-line advance possible...]
