Chapter 63: Can You Win? online, etc.
"Your Excellency, time will tell you are right!" The person Li Qi faced was Erich. Feng. Falkingham, he said: "I don't know what kind of information the other departments have, but our reconnaissance planes have made a lot of discoveries. ”
Trying to convince others always requires ample evidence, and what Litchie has to do now is to use the evidence to convince Erich. Feng. Falkingham believes that the signs of America's entry into the war are becoming more and more obvious.
Rich's evidence is not complicated, it is the growing number of American-made in the Allied armies, including automobiles, firearms, cans, cloth...... It's pretty much everything. He was able to get this information, and there was no reason why the powerful people in Berlin were blind.
"Major, do you know what I'm here for?" Erich. Feng. Fa Kingham stared at Li Qi very seriously: "Do your job, understand?" ”
During World War I, why did the United States side with the Allies instead of the Allies? In fact, it is not simply because of the question of war loans, and there is a more plausible reason for the trade quota.
The Entente countries did not lose their seas, they bought anything they could from the United States in the form of cash or loans, so that the United States changed from the previous status of a debtor to the status of a creditor of the United Kingdom and France and other Entente countries.
A lot of evidence is because the Allies have lost the sea and cannot have any trade with the United States, so the United States feels that there is no reason to stand on the side of the Allies, otherwise the world today is the status quo of hegemony formed by some countries led by Britain, Britain has always been the hegemon and has no benefit to the rise of the United States, and the United States, which wants to rise, should stand on the side of Germany, which challenges Britain's hegemony, instead of escorting Britain's hegemony.
Whatever the reason, looking at the market and the military supplies, it has become an established fact that the United States is on the side of the Entente, and no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the United States to be on the side of Germany. Since there was no possibility for the United States to side with Germany, it was left to remain neutral, or to join the Entente in declaring war on the Central Powers.
Li Qi did not believe that the top brass of the Second German Reich had not thought about that, and he could understand that the top brass had fallen into a certain ostrich mentality, and it was better to say that they did not believe it than to avoid or deceive themselves because they were afraid of the United States entering the war.
"General, allow me to say one last word." Litchie knew he had angered Erich a little. Feng. Falkingham, the chief of the German General Staff, but he was still struggling hard, and after receiving permission, he said: "Now for us, the capture of Paris is the key to the victory or defeat of the war, and any battlefield can be lost, but the battle of Verdun must be won......"
Erich. Feng. Falkingham did not stop Richie's long compilation, and he even glared at Otto viciously. Feng. Bello, Marx. Feng. Galvetz and a few other generals who wanted to speak went from being annoyed to being very interested in listening.
Litchie didn't say too complicated, just emphasized the importance of the Battle of Verdun, and finally took a deep breath and looked at Erich. Feng. Falkingham asked: "Paris is captured, France sues for peace or not, as long as we occupy the largest industrial area in France, France will become a man who can only provide human resources." ”
Erich. Feng. Fa Chinham raised his eyebrows, the prediction of the staff headquarters was similar to what Li Qi said, but the staff headquarters is so many people working, and there are enough resources and intelligence sources, Li Qi's manpower, resources, and intelligence are definitely not as many as the staff headquarters, but Li Qi can do it to such an extent, Erich. Feng. Fakingham could no longer hide the surprise in his heart, and showed all the psychological changes on his face.
"Do you think that if we occupy Paris, France will sue for peace?" Erich. Feng. Falkingham looked at Richie with great seriousness.
"Maybe, maybe not." Richie did not dare to say death, but he was more inclined to the fact that France would not surrender, because they would soon have a new force to join. He also had a serious face and said: "For the French, whether they surrender or not is no longer up to them, but what kind of role the United States will play in the war." ”
Erich. Feng. Fakingham spat out heavily, "Whew!!" After a long note, he looked at Li Qi for a long time, and then glanced around at everyone present, and his voice was like iron: "We are planning to withdraw Russia from the war, and we are sure that Russia will withdraw from the war." Things on the Eastern Front will play a role next year, and now the key to the whole war is on the Western Front. ”
Everyone was listening, some of them were already able to guess the development of the battle, and those who didn't understand it before should now understand.
"As Major Litch said, other battlefields can be lost, and the Battle of Verdun must be won! I'm here for the sole purpose of telling you that you won't be getting any more military support than 120 planes. "Erich. Feng. Fa Jinhan's expression and tone were still stiff, ignoring the fact that some people had changed their faces, and continued: "But the empire needs you to use your limited strength to obtain ...... At least let the Battle of the Somme continue to be a stalemate! Eliminate more Allied soldiers while stalemate! ”
Forcing Russia to withdraw from the war? Li Qi instantly thought of the "Earthly Heaven Party".
The collapse of Tsarist Russia was really related to the Kaiser's support for Lenin's Bolshevik Party, but it was not the Bolshevik Party that ousted the Tsarist royal family, but a group of democrats and socialists composed of aristocrats and capitalists who forced the Tsarist royal family to abdicate and established a provisional government.
When the Provisional Government of Tsarist Russia was established, there was no Bolshevik Party at all, and Lenin was scolded by the Germans for being a dog, a Russian traitor, and so on. Later, Lenin's Bolshevik Party was able to come to power because the Provisional Government was completely corrupted by the Wilson government in the United States.
It was abundantly clear to Litchie that, regardless of the situation in Tsarist Russia, the German Eastern Front was indeed out of threat.
Will the Second German Reich, with the threat of the Eastern Front lifted, still have a chance to win the war? If France continues to hold out, and the fact that the United States has entered the war, the chances of the Second German Reich winning the war are actually very slim, but now it is different!
[If the Battle of Verdun could really be won, and France was forced to surrender, and the threat of the Eastern Front was lifted, maybe the Second Reich would not be unable to win the final victory in the war? 】
