Chapter 535: The Excited Emperor

The Germans inflicted heavy losses on the Anglo-French forces and captured Paris. This seemed to the whole world as a signal that the German army was about to win the war. In Germany, from the emperor's ministers to the ordinary people, they all have this mentality.

It has been more than half a year since the war was going on. Even if Germany was well prepared before the war. However, the war still had a great impact on the lives of the people of the empire. The most significant impact is undoubtedly the large number of young and middle-aged people who have been conscripted into the army, resulting in a huge shortage of social labor. Many jobs have had to be replaced by women.

In addition, the death notices sent from the War Department every week have plunged countless families into mourning. Although, in this time and space, because of the relationship between Qin and Tian, the combat effectiveness of the German army is stronger. The losses they paid in the war were also smaller. But even so, there are still many families who have lost their husbands, sons or fathers. This is war, and it is impossible not to die. Even the US imperialists of later generations could not fight a war with zero casualties. Not to mention Germany now. Of course, Germany's losses in this war were undoubtedly much smaller than those of other countries. This makes the empire, for the time being, still able to bear it.

The lives of the people of the empire have also been greatly affected by this. However, the food supply is still abundant. However, the supply of meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits is not sufficient. Gasoline, in particular, has begun to be limited. As a result, many families who have bought cars have to park their cars at home and walk or cycle to work because they can't fill up gas.

Of course, even so, the people of the empire are undoubtedly very supportive of the ongoing war of the empire. Especially in the face of one victory after another, they believe that the empire is not far from obtaining the final victory. When the war is over, the empire will reap the war dividends. When the time comes, everyone will have a better life because of it.

The character of the German people is undoubtedly tenacious. It was precisely because of this that the German army was able to fight without worries on the battlefield.

On another plane, Germany lost the war, losing both world wars. This also made Germany pay an extremely heavy price for this. However, on this plane, the German people will have the victory they have always dreamed of. It's almost ironclad.

Berlin, inside the Imperial Palace, Wilhelm II is holding a royal council.

"Gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the generals, as well as the valiant soldiers of the German Empire, fought very beautifully on the battlefields of France. The main force of the Anglo-French army has been wiped out by us. Even Paris, the capital of the French, has been taken by us. The high-ranking officials of the French government abandoned their capital and fled to the south of France in disarray. Although, the French continued to resist. But I believe that we are not far from winning the war. As long as France is defeated, then the empire will undoubtedly be able to win this war! Wilhelm II looked excited.

When the war began, he was full of confidence in this war. But in fact, with the strength of Germany alone, he still has some bottomlessness in his heart to challenge Britain and France and other world powers. Although, Germany also has an ally, but Austria-Hungary, an ally, is simply a pig teammate who specializes in dragging its feet. To expect them to contribute to the war is simply delusional.

However, after the outbreak of the war, the performance of the German army greatly satisfied Wilhelm II. Although, on the Western Front, because of Moltke's relationship, the British and French forces were not able to defeat the British and French forces in one fell swoop. However, the German Navy and the German Army performed very well on the Eastern Front. The German Navy knocked down the Royal Navy, the world's first. The 8th Army Corps of the German Army almost single-handedly defeated Russia. This gave Germany the upper hand in the war. After half a year of rest, the German Army this time was even more in the Western Front, and it did not even use it for a month, and directly defeated the Anglo-French army, and even occupied the capital of the French. Such a result naturally made Wilhelm II very satisfied. He seemed to have seen the scene of the surrender of France and the defeat of the British. At that time, Germany will replace Britain as the world hegemon in one fell swoop. And it is a world hegemon whose strength far exceeds that of the United Kingdom.

The thought that the whole world would be prostrate at his feet made Wilhelm II unable to sleep for several nights in excitement.

"Your Majesty, the French are still holding on. However, they shouldn't last long. According to the information we have, the French are mobilizing in large numbers. However, the total strength of the Anglo-French army did not exceed two million. Moreover, more than half of those armies are newly formed units, which are not only inadequately equipped with weapons, but also have no formal training. It was simply impossible for the French to use such troops to resist the attack of the elite Imperial Army. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the troops to continue the offensive to the south. As long as our army can defeat the French again, they will not have the strength or courage to continue fighting. Well, they had to surrender. "Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff von? Marshal Falkenhein smiled.

Wilhelm II nodded, he also believed that they were only one step away from victory.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has begun preparations for the campaign to land in Britain. His Highness had just sent a telegram to the Admiralty, asking the Admiralty to cooperate with the Army in encircling and annihilating the British Expeditionary Force that had retreated to Le Havre. This is undoubtedly in preparation for a future landing on British soil. The British Expeditionary Force was undoubtedly the most elite unit of the British Army. Once the British Expeditionary Force was completely eliminated by us, the British would have to rely on a few recruits to fight. When the time comes, they will be even less of our opponents. Our army, sweeping through the British mainland, is just around the corner. The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Count Tirpitz, also said.

The German Navy had already defeated the Royal Navy in a decisive battle, inflicting heavy losses on the Royal Navy. It can be said that the German Navy has officially replaced the British Royal Navy as the world's first navy. This is equivalent to making Marshal Tirpitz's long-cherished wish come true for many years, which naturally makes him very happy.

"Well, if the French don't surrender, then we'll fight them to surrender. If the British want to continue to resist, then we will destroy them. No one, capable of confronting the German Empire! Wilhelm II looked confident.
