Chapter 597: Fearless
Berlin, the capital of Germany, the Imperial Palace, Qin Tian's office.
Emperor Qin Tianzheng with Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Feng ? Field Marshal Falkenhein, Field Marshal of Count Tirpitz, Minister of the Admiralty, discuss the current situation.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Army has just won victory at Le Havre. More than 200,000 British expeditionary forces have surrendered to the Imperial Army. However, the commanders of the British Expeditionary Force fled from Le Havre and fled back to the British mainland. Judging from the current situation, the British Expeditionary Force can be regarded as completely annihilated. Except for a small number of troops in the south of France in the 2nd Army, the rest of the troops have been wiped out by us. "Feng? Falkenhayn smiled.
After the total annihilation of the British Expeditionary Force, the German army almost won the final victory on the battlefield on the European continent. Although the French were still resisting, it was only a matter of time before they were completely defeated.
"Very well, after the British expeditionary force was wiped out, the French may not be able to hold out for long. Although, they are still fleeing all the way south. But France is not much in total, and where can they flee? When our troops continue to move south, further forcing their living space, they will have no way to escape. When the time comes, they will have no other way but to surrender to the Empire. Of course, at that time, there will be no point in surrendering or not. Qin Tian said.
Now Qin Tian has a great sense of achievement. Because he felt that he had changed history. On another plane, Germany lost the war. But now, less than a year before the outbreak of war, Germany has completely established the victory, and it will not be long before the final victory is achieved. This undoubtedly meant that Germany would soon be able to win the war.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The French were already doomed to lose the war. No one can change all of this, not even God! Marshal Count Tirpitz also said.
"The French are no longer to be worried, then, it will be the turn of the British. The British have not yet had any intention of ending the war. Clearly, they wanted to continue the resistance. Perhaps, the British thought that the narrow Channel could serve as a barrier for them, providing them with protection. However, soon they will know. The straits could no longer stop the advance of the armies of the great German Empire*. Our navy will make the barrier of the strait no longer exist. Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Preparations were already underway for the Imperial Navy. Once the army is ready, it can cross the Channel and launch a direct attack on the British mainland. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
"What happened to the remnants of the British fleet? Is there a way to get rid of them? Keeping them is always a hassle! Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, the remaining ships of the British are huddled in the Irish Sea. Unless we mobilize our main fleet to fight into the Irish Sea, it will be very difficult to deal with them. However, the British laid a large number of mines in the Irish Sea. Entering without knowing the distribution of those mines would be unbearable. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
Qin Tian nodded, he also knew that although the German Navy was very powerful, it was far from the point where it could ignore any threat.
"However, in order to ensure the safety of our land forces in the event of a landing in the UK, the Imperial Navy will then assemble its main forces and deploy them at both ends of the island of Ireland to trap the British fleet in the Irish Sea. In this way, when the Imperial Army destroyed Britain, these British warships would be useless. Marshal Tirpitz continued.
Qin Tian nodded: "Very good, then let's do it!" I think that with the Empire already having such a big advantage, we will soon be able to win the final victory in this war. ”
"Your Majesty, I just got the news. We've noticed something unusual in the U.S. Navy. The fleet, consisting of 12 battleships and a large number of small and medium-sized occupations, has left the Norfolk naval base and entered the Atlantic. At the moment, the whereabouts of the American fleet are unknown. The High Seas Fleet is worried that the Americans are coming at us. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
"Americans? What do they want to do? Qin Tian couldn't help frowning. Now the war was about to end with a German victory. It is undoubtedly very uneconomical for the Americans to get involved in the war at this time.
"Your Majesty, now we cannot guess the intentions of the Americans. But what is clear is that the Americans certainly have bad intentions! Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
"Get the Navy ready. If the Americans dare to get involved in this war, then give me a hard blow. Let them pay enough for it! Qin Tian said.
Although, after the United States enters the war, it will make Germany pay a greater price in this war. However, the situation is no longer as good as it was at the beginning of the war. At the beginning of the war, Germany was fighting on two fronts. If the United States entered the war, the chances of Germany winning were slim. Now it is different, Germany has an absolute advantage, even if the Americans join the Entente to fight, it will not prevent Germany from winning the final victory. However, it would make the war go on for a longer period of time, and Germany would expend more financial, material and human resources on the war.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded.
"Your Majesty, the current empire is no longer afraid of other countries. We're strong enough that we don't have to worry about anything else. It doesn't matter who the enemy is and how many enemies there are. In the end, it will be ours who will win! "Feng? Falkenhain said.
"That's right, whoever the enemy is. In the end, we will win! Qin Tian nodded repeatedly.
The current German Empire, and the German Empire in another time and space, have been completely changed. The German Army, on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, swept through the Entente* armies, and was on the verge of victory on the European continent. The German Navy, even from the very beginning, hung the British Navy. Now it has become a veritable maritime hegemon.
Coupled with Germany's strong industrial strength, as well as the large territory and resources obtained in this war, Germany will become the most powerful country in the world in the future. There is no doubt about it!
