Unrestricted submarine warfare is not new, at least among the German top brass that it has been proposed for a long time, but it has not really been implemented in some international forms.

However, with the pace of the war taking three years, the countries that are sleepy and lacking are crumbling, and if they can completely destroy the other party's hope of turning the tables at this time, it will undoubtedly be the ultimate winner. While the German Empire's army was campaigning across the European continent, there was also a mysterious force in the Reich's navy that was silently contributing to the Empire's expansion on the oceans, and that was the submarine combat force.

Most of the submarine operations are carried out underwater, and if you look at it from Adrian's eyes, the submarine is a big killer, coming and going without a trace, but it can always start on the most feared ocean supply line of Britain and France. For example, Britain and France are now relying on the blood transfusion of the United States to survive, and if there is no blood transfusion from the United States, the winner may be determined in a very short time. This is not only a physical blow, but also a mental blow.

Germany's victory on the Eastern Front did not give much pressure to the anti-war and war-weariness at home, but only temporarily suppressed this wave, and if the war could not be ended as soon as possible, the people's war-weariness would only grow higher and higher, and finally it would be out of control. For this reason, all kinds of whimsical ideas have sprung up like mushrooms, and "unlimited submarine warfare" is only one of these trends of thought, and it is also a trend of thought that occupies the support of the vast majority of military personnel. Just today, the bill was put on the agenda again. In the House of Lords, there is one side of the opposition and one side of the house, one side for the support side is headed by the military, and the other side for the opposition side is headed by political officials. With Eric Adrian's prestige in the military, he also has his own force behind him, although it is not clear who will support him, but as long as he makes it clear, there will always be a force behind him. This time, the parliament once again voted by a majority without suspense, supporting the launching of unrestricted submarine warfare. Eric Adrian, who was also a leading member of the council, gave up. Those who followed him also chose to abstain. Although the resolution was passed this time, the specific implementation link needs the support of his General Military Economic Office, and without money, you can't build a submarine to break diplomatic relations. After the meeting, Quartermaster Hindenburg approached Adrian, and the two walked through the corridor to the nearest Prince's Palace, where Adrian was at the office of the Ministry of Military Economy.

"Do you have any scruples?" When Hindenburg saw the vote, Adrian chose to give up.

"Needless to say, the pros and cons of unrestricted submarine warfare can be regarded as a way to speed up the progress of the war by looking at the current situation at home and abroad. But I think this method of ending will end with Germany finally losing the war, which is to push the United States and other major neutral countries to the British and French camps, giving them an excuse to enter the war. Eric said earnestly to the old marshal, who was also a teacher and friend.

Then he added: "I am not surprised that Italy has entered the war, nor has it done much to hinder the war of the Empire. They had a weak foundation and lacked a favorable offensive advantage, and by virtue of their geographical advantage, Austria-Hungary alone could keep the Italian army immobile on the border. But I am afraid that the United States will enter the war because of this, which will be a fatal blow to us, and do not underestimate this country far from the European continent, whose strength is far from the strength of the beginning of the war. Eric Adrian compared Italy to the United States, which had just entered the war.

Of the two countries, Italy's navy was far more crucial than its army, and it had formed a new blockade force with Britain and France, turning the entire Mediterranean into a backyard, and repeatedly supporting Romania had slowed down Max Hoffmann's advance, and he had fallen into a stalemate. On the other hand, the performance of the army formed a great contrast with the navy, the performance of the army was too poor, the battle of Caporetto, the losses of the Austrian and Italian armies were equal, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had no worries about the Eastern Front, concentrated all the elites in this battlefield full of mountains and rivers, and the cutting-edge Italian army suffered in front of the Austro-Hungarian army that had gone through the baptism of blood and fire. The artillery of both sides of the narrow battlefield shelled day and night, and it has become the battlefield with the most dense number of artillery in the entire war. As the saying goes, recruits are afraid of artillery, which was proven in the Italian Army, where each charge ended hastily in a dense artillery cover.

With the help of Britain and France, some elite soldiers quietly moved from the Western Front to the Italian border to play the role of veterans, otherwise they were afraid of the risk of a breakthrough. The Italian army, with the help of Britain and France, was improved in combat and began to look good both defensively and offensively, and in the same way, Austria-Hungary also felt the pressure, and the German army, which could not find a breakthrough on the Western Front, began to want to find a breakthrough here. Originally, with the entry of Italy into the war, the original battlefield on the Western Front slowly shifted its attention from the French battlefield on the Western Front, which was full of craters, to the border between Austria and Italy. Both sides tried to open the opening, but they were all in vain. The battlefield has once again fallen into the wear and tear of positional warfare.

Eric Adrian's concerns were not unique, nor were they just in his mind, as were those who supported and launched unrestricted submarine warfare. But after all, because the two are separated by an ocean, the proposal was agreed. Hindenburg was of course aware of Adrian's concerns, but when everyone had no choice, it was either a solution or an inevitable choice. Unless he can find a breakthrough from other directions, unrestricted submarine warfare is an inevitable thing.

Adrian's argument with Hindenburg began in the office, and Hindenburg needed Adrian's support rather than give up on maintaining neutrality, otherwise his military and economic office would become an obstacle to this action. Hindenburg didn't think about taking Adrian from the position of the General Office of Military Economy, it's not that he can't do it, but he needs him, this is Adrian's value, you obviously see that I'm not happy, but you can't get rid of me, because I can help you.

But Hindenburg underestimated Adrian's determination, and the conversation between the two ended up unhappily, but Adrian still did not support unrestricted submarine warfare, and an angry Hindenburg slammed the door and left.
