The Chinese side is fighting steadily, and it seems that it is ready to use the advantage of the army plus the advantage of transportation capacity to offset Australia's domestic advantage, which is different from others, this is a naked conspiracy, or an invulnerable conspiracy, unless on the frontal battlefield, to win China, there is no other way to go.

Australia finally doesn't have to worry about China's rapid attack, but just relying on Australia itself, it is difficult to compete with China, before the British reply is that it cannot be supported in the short term, and now this war is obviously running for a year, or even two years above the top, Australia's high-level thoughts are more and more, and they have issued a request to the suzerain, in the short term, they can resist China's troops, but it is impossible in the long run, China can easily mobilize more than the total population of Australia, The British side had to give support, either sending troops or warships.

At the end of 1915, Britain was not very good, the impact of the German submarine offensive on the Atlantic, so that Britain should have received support reduced by 8 percent, which directly affected the North Station in 1916, although it was said that the military supplement was restored as much as possible, but the civilian supplement could not be restored, a country, a country participating in the war, not only needed the necessary military resources, There is no shortage of demand for civil resources.

If you miss a gun, at most the equipment is a little worse, and it may not be impossible to make up for it, but if you miss a bite of food, then you are really missing a bite of food, and people will eat one less bite, and when there is really a big gap, the consequences will be unimaginable. Because of the war, compared with the First World War in history, Britain had a worse life than in history, with great losses in all aspects and problems with industrial production. Compared with history, the losses have increased by at least 50%, and the losses of merchant ships, industry, and even population are much greater than in history, because of this, Britain is already in extreme difficulties, the support from the United States has decreased, and the production capacity of Britain has suddenly decreased to an unbearable degree, and there is a gap of 20-30% in the necessities of life.

This is not 20-30% in peacetime, but in war times, more than 20% under the rationing system, if this gap cannot be filled, it will be dead, the whole winter of 1915 and the spring of 1916, Britain is making adjustments to this, I have to say, Britain is an old power, they are in extreme difficulty, but they use other methods to solve this gap, the solution is very simple, become a soldier, send a large number of people to the barracks.

Originally, these civil necessities were enough to drag down Britain, but sending people out to serve as soldiers without a bottom line became the only way for Britain to solve this, among the British high-level, there was a secret document on how many people died in 1916 and how much expenditure was reduced, but it was too bloody and cruel, even in later generations, decades later, this document was not lifted, but was destroyed, only historians who have studied the First World War have learned from China's historical documents, This was more or less estimated, but no one was sure because it was too cruel.

Britain is still full of confidence in the future, the main source is in the United States, they know very well the strength of the United States, if the United States can completely burst out of their strong strength, for Britain, defeating Germany, it is not a problem, the 28 battleships that are still under construction are the source of confidence.

This confidence was sunk again, China just sent 4 emperor-class, the United States that was hit hard, 12 battleships temporarily drawn from Britain, and it was not his opponent, Wall Street, the Panama Canal, the American coast, and even 6 battleships, before the construction was completed, completely fell on the slipway, how to continue, the number of capital ships of the Entente has fallen below Germany, as for the strength, it is much inferior, it is conceivable, before the new battleships join the war sequence, The Entente did not even dare to dispatch the main fleet lightly.

This is a nightmare for the island country of Britain, Britain in this war, the biggest advantage is the navy, although there was a little twist and turn, Germany suddenly increased the strength of 9 powerful fleets, all of a sudden so that the strength of both sides, leveled to the same level, but even if the German capital ships occupy a little advantage, Britain can also rely on tradition, strength, and even the application of the navy, move back a little advantage, but under the premise of 12 less warships, This is a huge loss, and it is conceivable that Germany will definitely take this opportunity to face off with Britain head-on and push the capital ships for a decisive battle.

This made Britain very panicked because of its over-reliance on sea transportation, if the army failed, with the help of the navy, Britain could still maintain an invincible situation, but if the navy failed, even if there were millions of land forces, they would be broken by the opponent because of no logistics and no supplies, and even the mainland might not be protected.

Once Germany landed on the British mainland with the help of naval superiority, then no matter how unwilling Britain was, no matter how strong the people's willingness to resist, they would have to accept the fact that Britain had to abandon the British Isles and move to Canada.

The British Isles is the place where Britain's wealth and power are most concentrated, and it is in Europe, once it chooses to relocate, even if it is still resisting, it also declares the defeat of the European war, once it reaches Canada, it will be difficult for Britain to have an impact on Europe, when the time comes, maybe France and Russia will quickly surrender, and when the time comes, Germany, which will unify Europe, will be more powerful and more irresistible.

That was the last way, even if it was the last case, Britain could not accept the consequences of losing the British Isles, before the fleet did not restore its superiority over Germany, he had to do the worst, during this time, Britain was actively doing defense, not only a large number of shore guns did not know the key areas along the coast, but also a large number of mines, at the same time, urged its own shipyards and American shipyards to speed up the construction of warships, so as to ensure that the British fleet was put into service.

The news from the United States that at least nine battleships would be delivered in June 1916, and that the North Atlantic route was expected to resume after increased investment, which was a huge benefit to Britain, but the period from the spring of 1916 to the end of May was the most difficult time for Britain. After all, the damage has been formed, Britain because of the German attack and blockade, the shipbuilding capacity has been greatly reduced, with the current situation has no ability to recover the damage that has been caused, this damage will continue to lose blood, but at the juncture of the war, Britain can only grit their teeth and continue to move forward, they have no way out.

All this is because of China, this is the British in-depth research, the final conclusion, from the beginning of the European war, in the British vision, China has appeared as if nothing, but at that time, Britain did not notice China at all, perhaps, noticed, did not care, what kind of country China is, what China was like before, he could not have much impact on the war situation in Europe, China from 1908, especially after 1911, has made changes, But in the eyes of Britain, it is difficult to return, industrialization is so easy, it is so easy to complete military promotion, China may not have influence on the world until a few decades later, when the dust has settled in World War I, Britain has too much ability to interfere with China, interrupting China's rise to the road.

Britain has always been eyeing China, but because China is too large, with a large population, coupled with the constraints of many powers, it has not been swallowed into the belly of Britain like India, staggered by the outbreak of the European War, everything China has done, Britain has long forcibly intervened, and even tried its best to make it possible, but creation made people, World War I broke out, Germany dragged Britain to Europe, normally speaking, it doesn't matter for a few years, a few years, China has not changed much, but the Chinese have done it and completed industrialization, It has become the world's factory, so that the whole world is filled with Made in China.

From the very beginning, the outbreak of Germany has the shadow of the Chinese, the Middle East, naval battles, and even the current backbone of the German fleet, are also made by the Chinese, this is not the news obtained before, this is after China retaliated against the United States, in the hands of China, it actually has the same emperor-level analysis as Germany.

After the United States was attacked by a sneak attack, even the British Admiralty had such and such views, one thing is certain, Germany has spread the technology of battleships, China has obtained the technology of vital battleships, has the ability to make battleships, the Fantasy class is such a perfect battleship, even now Britain can not produce strong warships, China, a country that has just come out of poverty and backwardness, actually owns, this is the greatest sorrow, directly caused the tragedy of the United States.

This gave Britain a very bad feeling, how to feel that China's joining of the allies, and the United States and the Entente are so imaginary, can not simply say so, China is even more terrifying than the United States, than the army, when the United States just joined the European war, what is the army, it is completely scum, but China, but with less to win more, defeated Russia's record, although Russia is not very good, has declined, no matter how you say, it is also the benchmark of the dead power, Turkey and Austria-Hungary do not want to fight, Just a little bit of strength, then their army is definitely stronger than the US army, the navy, not to mention anything else, can produce fantasy class, has been able to prove his strength, such a huge country, except for the position, everything else is above the United States, his accession, for the allies, is simply a nightmare.
