"No, Zhao Shouhong has already done his best to help us everywhere." Ludendorff retorted: "If we do this at this time, it is tantamount to breaking our promise and completely giving up the righteousness of friends. This is despised by others. What's more, we are doomed, even if there are these workers working in the Teutonic state, it will be useless, so it is better to give Zhao Shouhong a good impression, and wait until the day when the Teutonic state makes a comeback, we can get their help."

Hearing Ludendorff's words, William II nodded again and again. Zhao Shouhong has indeed done a good job.They not only gave the Teutonic state the support they could, but also supported the industrial capacity of the Teutonic state from beginning to end.In addition to not directly participating in the war to help the Teutonic state, even the allies who really signed the contract cannot do better.

"Okay, I've decided to let those Hualan workers return home." William II stood up and said with difficulty: "Send out diplomats, we must take the initiative to negotiate with the Allies to end this hateful war as soon as possible."

"But if you initiate negotiations, it will be very bad for us." Hindenburg reminded.

"No matter what, let the war end as soon as possible, I've had enough." William II suddenly roared, as if to vent the dissatisfaction he had suppressed in his heart these days.

The efficiency of the Hanxing Group Company is not low. Under the leadership of Chen Wenbao, Hualan's skilled workers began to retreat to the country via the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The evacuation of 350 million people did not happen overnight. For this reason, the company almost contracted the entire railway line to transport people to the Red Sea Province day and night. Even so, it would take at least a month.

It is not Chen Wenbao's style to transport workers without carrying some private goods.Hanxing Group has a lot of staff in the Western Continent. After the planning department issued a task, many personnel from the public relations department went out separately to visit those targeted people.

Scientists, engineers, high-level technicians, and even artists were all visited, and the Allies were already at sunset, which was obvious after the recovery of Paris.Once the Allied Powers are defeated, domestic turmoil will inevitably occur. Even if the country is not dismembered and occupied by the Allied Powers, economic turmoil is inevitable.

People always have to eat. Once economic turmoil comes, there is no guarantee that no one will be involved.Even if those scientists don't care about material life, they always have to consider the feelings of their family members. He can do experiments on an empty stomach, but he can't make his family hungry too.What's more, under the economic turmoil in the whole country, it is hard to say whether those scientists still have the conditions to conduct experiments.

In this case, at least [-]% of the people who were visited left with the team.There were too many Hualan workers transported, so many that the Teutonic Kingdom couldn't count the number, so they had to let them take the train and leave.Among the large number of Hualan workers, it is not obvious that thousands of people were entrained. Therefore, these people were safely sent out of the two major allies.

The departure of these people has not been reported to the customs, so they can only be regarded as missing persons, and have nothing to do with Hualan Kingdom. In this chaotic period, no one will care about them.Fortunately, the Allied forces were unable to enter the Teutonic territory in a short period of time, and the Hualan workers had plenty of time to retreat to the country.

In order to cooperate with the evacuation of the workers, Wu Ziyu received Zhao Shouhong's personal order to stop at the Fortress of Verdun and not to advance until he received the order.The advance of the Hualan army stopped in front of the Fortress of Verdun. Wu Ziyu's excuse was also very convincing. After the long-distance raid, all equipment needed to be repaired and supplemented, and the personnel also needed to rest.

This is quite a normal situation in the war, and no one can find fault. What's more, in order to prevent the Allied forces from entering the country, the Teutonic Army deployed heavy troops in the Verdun Fort originally built by the Gaul Army, and installed the country's largest A powerful heavy artillery unit.

Without the cooperation of Hualan's participating army, the White Eagle Army, who had suffered a lot, did not dare to attack rashly. They also started to rest on the spot like the Hualan Army.Seeing the incomparably brave Hualan Army and the White Eagle Army suddenly rest, the Saar Army and the Gaul Army were quite anxious.

A while ago, the Hualan Army and the White Eagle Army cooperated closely, and they fought smoothly. Not only did they break through the defense line of the Teutonic Army, they even ran for hundreds of kilometers, conquering Paris in one fell swoop.Such a brilliant record made the Hualan Kingdom and the White Eagle Kingdom honorable, and it also made the Sal Kingdom and the Gaul Kingdom somewhat ashamed.

Especially the military of Gaul, under the pressure of public opinion from all over the country.The capital of the country fell, and the country was almost destroyed. The Gaul army was always in a passive position throughout the world war.As the country of Hualan, which has always been regarded as a barren land, this old empire, which was once extremely glorious in history but extremely declining in modern times, sent a mere hundreds of thousands of troops to join the war, but achieved such results.The Teutonic army, which was able to fight with the only troops, was in a hurry, and even recaptured Paris, which was tantamount to hitting the Gaul army in the face.

The Hualan Army and the White Eagle Army have achieved brilliant results. It is understandable that they chose to rest, but the Gaul Army did not dare to rest.If they can no longer produce a record that satisfies the people of the country, the commanders of the Gaul army may be drowned by the spit of the people of the country.

Chapter 792 Striking at Verdun

Under such circumstances, Marshal Foch had to send his most effective field commander, Admiral Petain, to command the three armies of the Gaul Army to attack the fortified Verdun fortress.The Teutonic Army was ordered to stand firm and wait for orders from their superiors.

In order to make the peace talks more advantageous, William II believed that a local military advantage must be obtained, so he issued an order to stick to it.All troops are not allowed to retreat without receiving an order to retreat, otherwise they will be sent to a military court and punished as a deserter.

Under such an order, the Teutonic Army, which was already good at fighting, exerted a huge quality advantage. The 20 troops of the Fourth Army firmly stood in the Fortress of Verdun. Gallic attack.

It has been more than two years since the Teutonic Army took Verdun. During this period, the Teutonic Army took precautions and carried out a complete transformation of Verdun.Relying on the original fortification group, they added a lot of machine gun bunkers and underground passages, so that the fortification group that was originally facing the Teutonic state can also give full play to its firepower advantage when attacking the Gaul state.

Spreading the strength of the three armies, Admiral Petain ordered the artillery to launch the strongest artillery coverage in the history of the war.As a veteran general, General Petain and even the fortress of Verdun, if it hadn't been for the unexpected use of poisonous gas by the Teutonic army, which caused a large number of casualties to the Gaul army in the fortress, they would not have lost their positions so quickly. .

Now that the position is already in the hands of the Teutonic Army, it will be much more difficult to regain it.Seeing that the Hualan army easily captured Paris, if the Gaul army lost troops in front of the Verdun fortress, or even failed to capture it successfully, it would be a big embarrassment.

In order to reduce losses and strive for victory, Admiral Petain had no choice but to replace soldiers with steel shells regardless of the cost and consequences.The Gaul Army is worthy of being a strong army in the Western Continent, and its artillery unit alone is extremely powerful.According to the tradition that began a hundred years ago, the Gallic Army has always attached great importance to artillery. Now there are a lot of 150mm and [-]mm heavy artillery attached to the first level of the group army. Relying on these large-caliber artillery, the Gallic Army and the Teutonic Army launched a battle artillery battle.

Both sides turned on the maximum firepower mode, desperately pouring tons of steel onto the opponent's head, hoping to defeat the opponent's will to fight.After all, the Teutonic Army has a small number of troops, and the number of artillery configurations is also very insufficient. In addition, due to the withdrawal of Hualan workers in China, the production capacity of the military industry is insufficient, and it is difficult to provide sufficient supply of artillery shells.

After three days of shelling, the artillery of the Teutonic Army finally fell silent. Seeing that his side had gained the advantage of artillery fire, Admiral Petain immediately ordered an attack across the board to attack the first line of defense of the Teutonic Army.

After the Hualan Army achieved brilliant results, all countries began to imitate that combat mode, using tanks as moving walls to cover infantry charges, and the Gaul Army would naturally not lag behind.Several types of tanks, such as Renault FT17, San Salmon, Schneider and 2C heavy tanks, were compiled into this offensive team, with a total of more than 700 vehicles.

These miscellaneous tanks served as cover, which greatly boosted the morale of the Gaul soldiers. They hid behind the tanks with their rifles in their hands, and attacked the Teutonic army's defense line.Although the number of anti-tank guns received successively did not exceed eighty, the number of anti-tank guns in the Teutonic Army was quite large.

Although these anti-tank guns are not enough to deal with Benlang 1 tanks, they can still shoot several Gaul tanks except 2C heavy tanks.Within 500 meters, anti-tank guns are enough to destroy several light tanks such as Renault and Saint-Samont. Under the concentrated fire attack of these anti-tank guns, Gaul tanks were destroyed one after another.

In comparison, the rough-skinned and thick-skinned 2C tanks are not much better. Because of the lack of an independent suspension system, once the tanks produced by the Allies are driven at full speed, they are enough to make people sick.In contrast, the 2C tank has a greater weight and more serious bumps. In addition, because the weight is too high and the engine power is insufficient, the off-road capability of this tank is extremely low. Many 2C heavy tanks are not directly destroyed by the opponent, but fell After entering the crater, I couldn't climb out by myself.

During the large-scale offensive on this day, the two lines of defense of the Teutonic Army were broken through, 43 fortresses were destroyed, and more than 3 casualties occurred.The victory of the Gaul Army was not easy. After consuming 5 tons of shells, they achieved such a result at the cost of [-] casualties. However, because this combat environment was not suitable, the Gaul Army lost more than half of its tanks. Basically lost the ability to fight.

It can be seen from this that the use of a tactic must be matched with the corresponding weapons. The Gaul army's weapons are different, but it is normal to copy the combat mode of Hualan's participating army.

However, now the Gaul army has been riding a tiger, and in the face of the extremely high number of casualties, Admiral Petain remained unmoved and ordered the army to continue to launch a strong attack.The attack on the Fortress of Verdun lasted for six days. The two sides used various means such as planes, artillery, tanks, and poison gas, and fought with extreme selflessness.

The Teutonic Army demonstrated extremely high military accomplishment and sacrifice, and many positions were captured by the Gaul Army only after all the defenders were killed.The two sides competed for positions inch by inch in the narrow area of ​​Verdun, almost covering all the land with corpses.

The Gaul army was also red-eyed. At this time, Admiral Petain didn't need to estimate the extent of the army's losses. As long as he won, any price would be worth it.After a six-day offensive, the Gaul army finally recaptured the Fortress of Verdun. The 20 Teutonic Army died in this fortress except for the remaining 3 people who withdrew to the territory of the Teutonic State after the war.

The casualties of the Gaul army were even more severe, and more than 25 people were buried in this land forever.Although the number of casualties in the offensive and defensive battle of Verdun can only be considered in the middle of the whole war, it has far-reaching significance.After paying a heavy price, the Gaul army finally drove the Teutonic army out of the country and recovered all areas.

After the Battle of Verdun, the main force of the Gaul army was disabled and could not continue the offensive for a short time.After the partial victory of the Teutonic Army, the attempt to conduct peace talks with a narrow victory was also unsuccessful.Facing an increasingly unfavorable war situation, William II urged the negotiating delegation to speed up their journey and reach an agreement with the Allied Powers as soon as possible.What William II did not expect was that the delegation had not yet arrived in Paris, and there was an emergency in the Teutonic country.

The cause of the matter still came from the Fortress of Verdun. After the Gaul army reoccupied here, they were unable to expand the results of the battle. They could only guard the fortress and wait for the replenishment of soldiers and weapons.Contrary to the Gallic army, after receiving the news that all Hualan workers had retreated, Zhao Shouhong lifted the ban on Hualan's participating troops.

Chapter 793 Kiel Uprising

After being supplemented by the last batch of 10 people in Baiying, the current Hualan army has increased to 35 and has the ability to fight independently.In order to improve the mobility of Hualan's participating troops, Zhao Shouhong asked Chen Wenbao to equip them with a large number of trucks, so that those infantry divisions could also keep up with the First Tank Army.

During this period of time, the Hualan Army has been busy training drivers and equipping the troops with trucks and tankers, and all these tasks have not been completed until now.After Zhao Shouhong lifted the ban and got the news that the Gaul army had captured Verdun, the Hualan army attacked again.

Because of the brilliant results, Hualan's participating army already has a great degree of command freedom. Basically, they can freely launch combat operations as long as they report to Marshal Foch.This time Wu Ziyu's report was also simple, that is, to launch a campaign-level attack to break through the border defense line of the Teutonic Army, and Marshal Foch naturally agreed.

At this time, he was busy directing the Saar army and the Roman army to attack the Balkans, and did not pay attention to the direction of the Teutonic state.He believes that the progress made in this direction in the previous period is not small, and all troops need to rest for a long time, and large-scale battles will not be possible for at least a few months.

Using this period of time, the Allied forces can break through from the south, attack the weaker Austro-Hungarian Empire, and cut off the arms of the Teutonic Army.It was precisely because Marshal Foch focused his attention on the South Road that he missed this great opportunity to pick up a bargain.

Wu Ziyu did not greet Admiral Pershing either. He just led the entire Hualan Army and MacArthur's No.40 Eighth Infantry Brigade to the Fortress of Verdun at full speed.In fact, the No. 40 Eighth Infantry Brigade can hitch a ride and follow the cars of Hualan's participating army. However, the main force of the White Eagle Army does not have so many transportation equipment. Even if Admiral Pershing knows the news, it is difficult to respond quickly .

What Wu Ziyu wanted was to beat the slow with the fast. He wanted to break into the territory of the Teutonic country in one fell swoop before the Teutonic army reacted, and end the war as soon as possible.After receiving Marshal Foch's order to assist Hualan's participating army in attacking, the Gaul army stationed in Verdun did not stay in trouble, but smoothly allowed Hualan's participating army to pass through the defense zone.

After breaking away from the Verdun fortress group, the Hualan army has already faced the Teutonic border, and is building a temporary line of defense here.The Teutonic Army had just retreated from Verdun and planned to temporarily build fortifications on the border until the domestic reinforcements resisted the possible invasion of the Allied forces.However, the progress of Hualan's participating army was unexpectedly fast. The defense line of the Teutonic Army had not yet been repaired, and the team led by Wu Ziyu was already close at hand.

After gathering information from the scouts, Wu Ziyu was able to know where the defense line had not yet been built. The Hualan army took advantage of these loopholes, and the brigade rushed past and broke into the territory of the Teutonic state.The car passed by so fast on the road that the Teutonic Army couldn't catch up even if they wanted to intercept it.

Hualan's participating army marched at a very high speed, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at Munich, the important town in the south of the Teutonic Kingdom.Being invaded into the country, such a psychological gap is difficult to adapt to. War weariness is widespread in the country, and there are even anti-war organizations in the army. This situation is getting worse and worse, and finally a revolution that swept the country broke out.

After receiving the news that the border defense line had been breached, William II knew that the situation was over. In order to make a final struggle, he decided to put all his eggs in one basket and let the Allies suffer greater losses in order to bargain after the war.

Just two days after Wu Ziyu broke through the defense line, on November 1918, 11, the Teutonic Navy Department sent an order to the main naval force stationed in Kiel.This order requires the Teutonic Navy High Seas Fleet, which has been stationed in the port of Kiel, to leave the port immediately and launch an active attack on the combined fleet of the Allied Powers.According to the original words of the Ministry of the Navy, if you cannot destroy the opponent, you will sink in the sea with honor.

Such a near-suicide order immediately aroused resistance from anti-war organizations in the navy.After the sailors of the various ships joined forces, they decided to refuse to carry out the order. At the same time, they put off the cannons of the warships and covered the guns, expressing that they would never leave the port to fight.However, the high-level fleet did nothing. They immediately dispatched the gendarmerie, arrested hundreds of sailors who took the lead in making trouble, put them in prison and claimed that they would set up a military court and shoot all these sailors.

In the early morning of November 11, at the instigation of anti-war organizations, 3 sailors from the Port of Kiel took to the streets to protest the atrocities committed by the naval authorities and demand the release of those arrested.Facing the parade and demonstration by the sailors, the high-level fleet immediately ordered the gendarmerie to suppress it. As a result, the gendarmerie opened fire to expel them, killing and wounding dozens of sailors.

Things have developed to such an extent that they have completely gotten out of control.After the gendarmerie fired shots, the sailors immediately took up their weapons and started street fighting with the gendarmerie, and the demonstration turned into an armed uprising.There were a large number of sailors, and relying on the support of naval guns, they quickly defeated the gendarmerie and the army troops who came nearby after hearing the news.

These sailors disarmed the officers and spontaneously formed the Soldiers Council as the highest body to command the uprising.They seized various strategic locations throughout the city and soon took control of the port of Kiel.The local workers also staged an armed uprising. They established workers' committees to respond to the sailors' uprising. By noon on the 5th, the port of Kiel had completely fallen into the hands of the two committees.

The Workers' Council consulted with the Soldiers' Council and finally decided to unite to form a utopian government.The Kiel Uprising became the fuse of the Teutonic November Revolution. Encouraged by the success of the Kiel Uprising, armed uprisings broke out in all large and medium-sized cities across the country within half a month.Councils were established in various cities to form utopian governments, intending to overthrow the rule of Wilhelm II.

In the face of the chaos in the Teutonic state, Wu Ziyu did not relax his pace of progress. After taking advantage of the chaos and capturing Munich, they quickly captured the entire Ruhr industrial area and the provinces of Salsas and Lorraine, bringing the Teutonic state close to the border. Half of the industrial areas are in their own hands.The employees of Chen Wenbao's various ministries followed the Hualan army, and soon entered the industrial zone of the Teutonic Kingdom. After arriving here, they immediately started contacting the major Teutonic factories. At the same time, Chen Wenbao personally To see Crown Prince William.

After receiving news that the border defenses had been breached and the sailors in Kiel had revolted, Wilhelm II fell ill.Crown Prince William had to temporarily supervise the country and handle daily government affairs on his behalf, so he was relatively busy during this period.Although he was very busy with work, after hearing that Chen Wenbao, the representative sent by Zhao Shouhong, asked for an interview, he immediately interviewed him.

"His Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to see you again." Chen Wenbao still smiled and saluted Crown Prince William gracefully.
