Chinese Ambassador to Germany Wang Li met with General Moltke at the recommendation of German Foreign Minister Schleier and brought important news from the Chinese intelligence services that the local indigenous people of Kazakhstan were said to be brewing a major uprising, and that the situation within the Russian Empire had taken a new turn, with several new political parties preparing military action against Tsarist rule.

This news is obviously an important message for General Moltke, who is worried about the continuous increase of Russian troops on the Eastern Front, and the German General Staff has long conducted in-depth research on Sino-Russian relations, and these two large countries with thousands of kilometers of borders have fought four border wars in the past two decades, and finally the Russians were driven west of Lake Belga.

But Chinese apparently never prepared for a final peace, and the two countries have deployed millions of troops along their long borders, Chinese building a network of railways running along the entire border to secure control over the new territories, so ...... These so-called internal turmoil in Russia obviously have the possibility of Chinese involvement, otherwise, the Chinese would not have known the news so quickly.

However, these obviously have nothing to do with the German Empire, and weakening the Russian Empire, which has always been strong, is the result that Germany is most willing to see, and in what way, it does not matter at all!

As for the intention of the Chinese to come today, it makes Admiral Moltke quite interesting, these things are naturally beneficial to China and Germany, but since the Chinese ambassador personally appeared, it means that things are not so simple, he looked sideways at Schleier with a serious expression, and the other party made a strange expression, which made Moltke a little confused.

"Ambassador Wang. Thank you for your support of the German Empire. These messages are very important. It's just that...... Did you personally inform you of this information and what assistance was needed from the German side? Moltke finally got straight to the point after thinking about the wording.

Wang Li smiled and sent good news to the Germans, which naturally meant that he had something to ask for, "The Russian Empire will not collapse on its own, and we hope that Germany will strengthen its operational investment on the Eastern Front, and a fatal war blow may achieve strategic results far beyond expectations...... Furthermore. I also suggest that Russian prisoners of war should be allowed to enter the Balkan Slavic settlements of their own free choice, but not to return to their home countries for war......"

POW...... Chinese's suggestion somewhat puzzled Admiral Moltke, but seeing that Schleier made another strange expression at him, he vaguely agreed, and then briefly briefed the Chinese side on the battle situation on the French front......

After Wang Li left, Schleier turned back again, "General." Prime Minister Hohenlowa has obtained the consent of His Majesty the Emperor to endorse the prisoner-of-war policy of the Chinese. These captured Russians, once returned to Russia, would be a very striking force of resistance...... Of course, we only released the prisoners humanely at their personal requests, and as for the rest of the matter, Chinese will make arrangements...... It is said that there are Russians involved! ”

Admiral Moltke was apparently reluctant to get too involved in these non-military matters, but he was glad to see any means of weakening the enemy, and the two men discussed for more than half an hour, and in the afternoon Wang Li had received an official notice from Schleier that the Germans had agreed in principle to deal with the Russian prisoners in humane terms, while the Chinese had promised that a new humanitarian organization, the European Society for Non-Violence, would take over the Russian prisoners, and that the funds would be raised by charitable organizations.

After the official note, Schleier still did not give up and asked Wang Li privately, "Dear Wang, this matter is too bizarre, the Slavic people in the Balkans are closely related to the Russian Empire, how do you manage this incident?" ”

Wang Li looked at Schleier, knowing that without revealing a little information, it would be impossible to settle the German leadership, "Sir Schleier, a strong and powerful fortress is always the easiest to attack from the inside, the Russian Empire is such a huge fortress, and it is not China that operates this matter, naturally not the Germans, but from within Russia, and we think that if there is appropriate external funding, there will be a great chance of success!" ”

Schleier obviously did not fully believe Wang Li's news, however, in the promotion of this matter, Germany actually did not have any loss of interests at all, a large number of prisoners of war, for Germany is completely a drag, originally the Imperial Staff had a plan to pull prisoners of war to the rear industrial area to participate in industrial production, however, the Slavic soldiers are almost all farmers, drinking vodka is a good hand, as for industrial production, it is a big problem.

At that time, Schleier inquired about the Chinese side, which had captured a large number of Russians, and the Chinese sent a large number of prisoners of war to the border to build roads, which was a hard work, and this group of Russian prisoners of war was indeed enough, the problem was that the German Empire had the longest railway network in Europe, and during the last period of great railway expansion, the entire Germany built more than 30,000 kilometers of railways, which was already a surplus for Germany's territorial area, so there was no follow-up later.

On the contrary, Wang Li later came to Schleier to suggest this new plan, and soon obtained the approval of Wilhelm II and Prime Minister Hohenlohe, and the pressure on the empire was indeed not small, as long as it was conducive to any measures to alleviate the current pressure...... In particular, options that do not require the need to spend more military resources are obviously something to try.

After the agreement finalized on September 19, on the 20th, the Allied prisoner of war camp in Plzesenburg, Austria-Hungary, had Chinese with telegrams to contact the repatriation of prisoners of war, and Berlin's attention was soon drawn to a general battle on the battlefield of the Ben-Saint-Fuwa Valley.

In the early morning of the 21st, Lieutenant General Ludendorff, who had completed the task of crossing the river, commanded an army of nearly 250,000 troops, and advanced southwest along the south bank of the Dordogne...... In fact, there were almost no decent corps on the front of the Third Army.

However, the real battle finally began at noon on the 21st, and the German 7th Army on the right flank of Ludendorff's corps encountered a powerful counterattack from the direction of Bergeraca before noon, and the French Fourth Army and a British Army stationed in Bergeraca, although they encountered a fierce attack from the frontal Germans, were in fact not under much pressure, and immediately realized their situation after learning that the Germans had crossed the river upstream.

George, who served as the commander of the legion? Major General Nivelle was undoubtedly an outstanding commander in the French army, an excellent soldier who had fought in the French colonies for many years. Admiral Foch put forward his opinion that the outcome of the entire Dordogne line would be decided by the results of the French Fourth Army.

This news also led to Ferdinand? Admiral Foch made an extremely important decision, and by the time the two armies confronted each other in the local town of Lalande on the 21st, the French Fourth Army under Major General Nevelle had already controlled the most important passage into Bellajec, and nearly 100,000 French troops serving as front-line defense had occupied the five most critical small heights in the direction of advance.

The appearance of the enemy, on the contrary, aroused the long-lost fighting passion of Lieutenant General Ludendorff, and the French legions took the initiative to attack, a tactic not seen since the Battle of Paris, and both sides showed astonishing caution about it, so that on the first day of contact, neither side even began to fight for position, but began to dig fortifications fiercely.

Major General Nivelle was bent on building up enough high ground positions to completely block the Germans in front of them, while Ludendorff was extremely cautious and unwilling to allow himself to make any mistakes, even if he had absolute confidence in defeating the enemy...... Before attacking, you still need to be fully prepared.

The battle began in the early hours of the 22nd, and Ludendorff deserved to be the most mobile tactician in the German army, and it was he who made the inferences at the pre-war meeting that he did not give the French any chance...... After an entire afternoon of observations, combined with reconnaissance by airship units arriving at the front, he discovered an important gap in the French line...... Located on the outskirts of the town of Monsacco on the south side of the battlefield, the French actually deployed only one infantry battalion!

Ludendorff also secretly arrived at the front line to reconnoitre, and in the end, he decided that this must be a small trap deliberately laid by the French, and the French on the opposite side had about 6 divisions of troops arranged on the front line, and there was naturally a combat junction between them, but it was definitely not this flat slope......

When the full-scale offensive on the entire front began, Ludendorff personally arrived at the periphery of Monsako, and the main force of the army in the attack, the 13th Army of the Army took the first attack task of the entire breakthrough point, in order to achieve the effect of the night attack, the 13th Army pressed the strength of 4 battalions as soon as it got started, quietly arrived at the position in the night, and at 12 o'clock at night, the group army launched a 15-minute artillery attack, and immediately launched a field assault.

Only 20 minutes later, the two armies pressed in the center had not yet broken through the high ground defended by France, but the French troops defended by Mensacko had already collapsed, and Ludendorff immediately ordered the army of one regiment to launch a flank detour and take this opportunity to make a dumpling for the French.

But it was the 12th Infantry Regiment of the 11th Army, which was pressed at the end, that finally revealed the true secret of the Anglo-French forces, and the German Army regiment, which had 1,800 strong soldiers on the right flank of Monsacco, encountered an unprecedented battle when they detoured to the west of Monsacco. The assault of the torrent of steel. (To be continued......)
