Early the next morning, Wilhelm II and Qin Tian were joined by Marshal Count Tirpitz and von ? Together with Marshal Bohr, they left the Wilhelmshaven naval base by special train and returned to Berlin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wilhelm II had a lot of political and military affairs to deal with, while Qin Tian was going to return to East Prussia and continue to command the 8th Army Corps. The rest of the 8th Army Corps has been completed, and the losses in the battle have been fully replenished. According to Qin Tian's predetermined plan, the next step of the 8th Army Corps was to attack the Kingdom of Poland from East Prussia. The war is fought on its own soil, and even if it is won, it will pay a heavy price. It is best to burn the flames of war on someone else's territory.

Previously, in order to destroy the Northwest Front of the Russian army, the 8th Army Corps had to choose the tactics of luring the enemy into depth. But now, the North-Western Front has been almost completely wiped out, and the Russian army has no decent troops in the territory of the Kingdom of Poland, so they naturally don't have to defend anymore, and they can just switch to a full-scale offensive.

Although, now Russia must also be mobilizing troops into the Kingdom of Poland. But Qin Tian believed that the 8th Army Corps could easily destroy the Russian Northwest Front, and it would also be able to deal with the Russian troops sent in the future.

On the train, Wilhelm II, Qin Tian and others discussed the current situation.

"Yesterday, the Army launched the Battle of the Marne. Progress seems to be not too bad. If we were able to defeat the Anglo-French forces at the Battle of the Marne, we would be able to advance the front directly to Paris. When the time comes, it is very likely that the French will withdraw from the war. We will win this war. Wilhelm II spoke eloquently, and seemed to be full of confidence in the battle of the Marne launched by the army.

Although Qin Tian knew the outcome of the Battle of the Marne River in another time and space, everything had changed in this time and space. It remains to be seen whether the German Army will be victorious at the Battle of the Marne. However, judging from what Qin Tian has learned, I am afraid that the battle situation is not as optimistic as Wilhelm II said. Moltke Jr.'s orders, in the legions of the Western Front, could not be carried out very well. As a result, the Germans, like the other plane, failed to win the Battle of the Marne. This makes the war inevitably enter a stalemate stage.

Of course, even if Qin Tian knew this, he wouldn't have said it. Otherwise, this would be cold water on William II. When Wilhelm II was in high spirits, doing so was undoubtedly looking for death.

"As long as our army can defeat France, and our navy can defeat the British Royal Navy in a decisive battle, then we will win the war in the future." Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Father, I am also full of confidence in winning this war. However, I don't think we can be too optimistic until the dust settles. Qin Tian said.

"Oh? Oscar, is there anything else you're worried about? Wilhelm II asked.

"Father, don't forget that on the other side of the ocean, there is a powerful country that has not made any statement about this war. If they join the war, it will have a great impact on the entire war, and even affect victory or defeat. Qin Tian said.

Wilhelm II couldn't help frowning: "You mean the United States?" ”

"Your Highness, the United States has been neutral until now. They wouldn't be in the war, would they? Even if they join the war, they won't necessarily be our enemies, right? Maybe they'll join us. "Feng? Marshal Pol said.

"Whichever side the Americans joined, it would be very disadvantageous for the German Reich. If the United States were to join the Entente, we would have to face a strong hostile state. If you want to win the war, you have to pay a greater price. And if the United States joins the side of the Allies, it will also be detrimental to us. Because, that means we will be forced to share the benefits with the Americans. This is unacceptable to us, who want to replace Britain and become the hegemon of the world. Qin Tian said.

Wilhelm II, Marshal Count Tirpitz and von? Marshal Pol's face suddenly became a little unpleasant. Before the outbreak of the war, they did not seem to have considered the attitude of the United States at all, and always believed that this war was a war of European countries, and the United States should not intervene.

"Oscar, the Americans may not interfere. Isolationism is very rife in their country. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

Qin Tian nodded: "Indeed, isolationism in the United States is a trouble. But if the United States is bent on joining the war, I don't think it's a big deal. The U.S. government has a hundred ways to solve this problem. ”

"Your Highness, even if the United States joins the war, we have nothing to fear, right? In addition to the strength of the US Navy, which is slightly stronger, their land forces are simply rubbish. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

The U.S. Army, before entering the war, had only more than 100,000 men. This is because there are no powerful countries around the United States, and the current United States is not Uncle Sam, who will dominate the world in later generations, at most he is just a Sam boy, and he does not need to send troops overseas. So, their army has always been relatively small.

As for the US Navy, although it is not weak, it is also relative. The U.S. Navy ranks third in the world, behind Britain and Germany. However, since the German Navy was able to beat the British Navy, it naturally did not have to be afraid of the Americans. However, if the British and Americans were united, they would be able to cause some problems for the German navy. But it's just a nuisance. The German Navy, still capable of coping.

"It's true that the military strength of the United States is not strong now, but don't forget that their industrial output is surpassing ours. Once the Americans decide to join the war and begin to mobilize in full force, with their industrial size and population, they can quickly arm an army of several million. Once this army appears in Europe, it will be a great threat to us. Qin Tian said.

Wilhelm II's brow couldn't help but furrow even tighter.

"Oscar, is there anything you can do?" Wilhelm II asked.

Qin Tian shook his head: "I don't have any way, the only thing I can do is to win this war before the Americans decide to join the war." In this case, even if the Americans want to join the war, it will be too late. ”
