Chapter 173: Going to the Front (300 votes plus more)

"Your Excellency, are our submarine forces and battle cruisers ready?" Qin Tian asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's all ready. After Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, pre-war preparations began! Marshal Count Tirpitz said. As the head of the German Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz also had a keen sense of politics. He also realized that the great war was about to begin. Whether the German Navy can defeat a powerful enemy depends on this time.

Qin Tian nodded: "Tomorrow night, let's let our submarines and battlecruisers go to sea in formation!" The war is about to begin. The ships we have spent a lot of money on must come in handy. ”

"Your Highness, the British have not made it clear yet, will they declare war on us right away?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked.

Although, everyone knows that there will inevitably be a war between Britain and Germany. However, as things stand, there is still a debate within Britain about whether or not to join the war. Therefore, it seems a little too early to send the fleet to sea now.

Qin Tian shook his head: "I dare to guarantee that in three days at most, the British will declare war on us!" ”

Marshal Count Tirpitz was a little unconvinced, why was Qin Tian so sure?

"Don't forget, the most important part of the battle plan on the Western Front is to attack northern France through Belgium. Belgians, will they agree to our request for borrowing? That's almost impossible. Once our troops entered Belgium, the British would certainly not sit idly by. The British have always pursued a continental balance of power strategy. They will not watch Belgium fall and France face a crisis. Therefore, it will be inevitable that the British will soon enter the war! Qin Tian analyzed.

"Well, in that case, we really need to be prepared. Tomorrow evening, submarine forces and battle cruiser formations will go to sea. As soon as the British declare war on us, we will immediately attack their sea lines and strangle them completely! Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

In order to strangle the British's sea transport lines, the German Navy built hundreds of submarines. And, after the outbreak of the war, another order was placed on the shipyard for the construction of 100 submarines. In terms of battle cruisers, although the "Mackensen-class" battle cruisers have not yet been put into service, the "Blucher-class" battlecruisers, the "Moltke-class" battlecruisers, and the "D-Vorlinger-class" battlecruisers are more powerful than the first, and they have an overwhelming advantage over the battle cruisers of the British Navy.

Qin Tian could predict that under the joint strangulation of the German Navy's submarines and battle cruisers, Britain's sea transportation lines would definitely be devastated. At that time, the situation in the UK will be very bad. In order to protect its own sea transport lines, the British Navy had to send more warships to escort the ship. But neither the cruiser nor the battle cruiser would be a match for the battle cruisers of the German Navy, and it would only make them pay even greater losses. It would even force the British and German navies to a decisive battle ahead of schedule.

"How is the construction of our 'Bavaria-class' and 'Mackensen-class' battlecruisers progressing? In the first half of next year, will it be able to serve? Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, the construction period has now been accelerated. In service in the first half of next year, there should be no problems. Marshal Tirpitz nodded.

"In this case, then our decisive battle with the British Navy will be in the first half of next year! I believe that the British, who are about to go crazy, will be eager to fight us in a decisive battle. Qin Tian said with a smile.

Marshal Count Tirpitz also laughed.

Once Britain's sea lines are hit, this will undoubtedly be fatal to Britain. As long as the British did not want to be hanged by Germany little by little, they could only gamble. And when the time comes, the capital ships of the German Navy may not be advantageous in terms of numbers. But in terms of quality, the German Navy was definitely able to take the lead. At that time, the chances of victory for the German Navy will be very high. Once the German navy won, Britain would be completely finished.

Early the next morning, Qin Tian changed into a military uniform. Germany had already declared war on Russia, so Qin Tian had to rush to the front line as soon as possible. It is estimated that the troops of the Russians attacking East Prussia are also on their way.

Although, Qin Tian was very confident in the 8th Army Corps. But this time, they will face twice or even three times as many enemies as themselves. Therefore, Qin Tian still had to deal with it carefully. If the 8th Army Corps had not been able to withstand the Russian attack, it would have been a fatal blow to Germany. At the same time, he may not have the face to continue to rely on the position of the crown prince. Therefore, for the sake of the empire, but also for his own interests, in the next war, Qin Tian must win.

Qin Tian went to Wilhelm II's office and bid farewell to Wilhelm II.

"Father, I'm about to rush to the 8th Legion. I assure you that the 8th Army Corps will definitely resist the Russian offensive and buy a month or more for the Western Front! Qin Tian said with a firm face.

Wilhelm II looked at his son, who was dressed in military uniform, and nodded with satisfaction: "Oscar, you can go with confidence." Things at home, don't worry. I know you're worried about the war on the Western Front. But you have to believe that the Imperial Army is invincible. The French are our losers, and this time, we can beat them too! ”

Wilhelm II seemed to be full of confidence, and Qin Tian naturally didn't want to pour cold water on him anymore. The only thing he could do was to find a way to win for Germany when the Western Front could not open the situation.

"Yes, Father!" Qin Tian didn't say much.

"Go ahead, Oscar. I'm sure you'll win. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

"Germany will win!" After Qin Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qin Tian immediately returned home and said goodbye to his wife and children. Gondelinde's eyes were red, and his son, who was only three years old, seemed to realize something, and began to scream.

"Don't worry, Gondelinde, I'll come back safely." Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Well, Oscar, I'll wait for you to come back!" Gondelin nodded, she was a very well-behaved wife, even if she was worried in her heart, she would not stop Qin Tian. Because she knew, she couldn't stop it.

Qin Tian kissed Gondelin and his son, and then, under the protection of the guards, went to the railway station, took a special train, went to Königsberg, and went to the front line to prepare for battle.
