Chapter 500: The Finale

Previous Chapter

The Battle of North Africa was the first duel between the main British Army and the Chinese, and the previous battles had been mixed with too many colonial troops, and both the Chinese and British felt that those battles did not reflect the true standard of the British army. Moreover, a considerable number of US troops participated in this campaign, using the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Entente countries, with sufficient logistical supplies and excellent army generals, which can be said to be the top army competition in the world at present.

However, the outcome of the Battle of Jerusalem was a blow to the allied commanders, and after the tank units as arrows were dispersed, the rest of the troops fell into chaos under the interspersed with Chinese armored units, and the bombers of the Chinese army covered the sky and the sun, and the allied generals could not organize effective defenses, and even the communication between the troops was often interrupted.

The coalition command in Cairo immediately ordered the US 15th Infantry Division to break off in the Sinai Peninsula, and the rest of the troops quickly withdrew to the Suez Canal defense line to preserve vital forces and prepare for the next battle. However, the coalition forces underestimated the chaotic situation on the battlefield and the resoluteness of the US 15th Infantry Division in obeying orders, and the order to retreat not only failed to save the main force of the coalition forces, but also caused chaos on a larger scale.

The Battle of Jerusalem ended in 10 days, and in this short period of 10 days, more than 300,000 allied soldiers were eliminated or entered prisoner of war camps of the Chinese army, and more than 500 tanks and armored vehicles, more than 1,000 trucks, and more than 1,100 artillery pieces were destroyed. The coalition commander had to build fortifications on the Suez Canal line, hoard supplies and troops, and trade a strong defense for time to transport supplies in the rear.

At this time, the canal defense line was called the lifeline by the Entente countries, and if it was lost, the vast North Africa would be at the mercy of the Chinese tanks, and the Entente would lose control of North Africa, and then lose the Mediterranean Sea and Africa, and the only thing left might be peace talks or surrender.

The allied soldiers were hiding behind the Suez Canal defense line and were terrified, but they did not expect that the Chinese army did not launch an offensive at the first time, and the Chinese generals on the front line received an order from the General Staff to suspend the offensive and build fortifications on the spot. This strange order saved the coalition North African forces, saved the Suez Canal and Egypt, and at the same time puzzled the generals of both sides.

The situation has changed dramatically again, and the Northeast and Northwest Army Corps of the Chinese Army are about to enter the battlefield. When the Chinese army attacked North Africa, the German army made efforts in Russia, and after about half a year of preparation, the German army on the front line got rid of the troubles of winter and obtained sufficient supplies.

After the offensive began, the Germans did not attack Moscow first, but concentrated their forces on the Caucasus. More than 3 million troops were amassed here, the most densely armed battle in a local battlefield of the World War, and the elite German Army Group South was the first to capture the Crimean region and capture the entire Great Plain of Ukraine. After that, taking advantage of the mobility of the armored forces, they quickly interspersed with the Caucasus, and the Russian army took the initiative to shrink and retreat its forces to the Caucasus mountains to avoid German tanks. The tactics of the Russian generals were proper, but unfortunately the execution of the junior officers and soldiers was disappointing, and the contraction turned into a rout, with millions of troops mixed together, followed by German tanks not far behind, and German planes in the sky were driving away. In particular, when the German armored troops followed behind and ate the broken rear troops bite by bite, a large-scale surrender appeared, and in the thirteen days of fighting, the German Army Group South easily captured more than 1.1 million Russian soldiers and officers, making the Caucasian defense line useless, and half a month later a battalion of German armored troops appeared in the Baku oil-producing area, marking the loss of the most important oil field for the Russians.

Immediately after the Battle of Moscow began, Nicholas II led the members of the royal family, nobles and high-ranking people to flee to Kazan in disarray, and when they arrived, fearing that they would not be safe, they fled to Ufa, near the Ural Mountains. Left behind in Moscow were 100,000 guards and a million newly formed troops, which had good weapons and ammunition, but the news of the escape of the royal family and the top brass circulated among the army, causing the army to be unstable, and the soldiers no longer had the heart to fight to the end.

The facts proved how serious the consequences of Nicholas II's flight were, and after the start of the German attack, a large number of Russian soldiers voluntarily surrendered to the Germans, and even the battalion and company commanders participated. The higher-ranking generals were busy collecting their possessions, fleeing Moscow, and not interfering with their surrenders, and it was clear that Tsarist Russia was not Imperial Russia after all, that the oil wealth had not changed the rotten nature of the country, and that the previous battles had exhausted Russia's vitality, and that people were thinking about how to save their lives and preserve their wealth.

Nicholas II sent a peace envoy to the Germans, and this news was quickly sent to the presidential palace after being obtained by the Chinese National Investigation Bureau, Lu Liang was shocked, he subconsciously thought that the Germans would be in trouble as during World War II, but he didn't expect Lao Maozi to be so weak! A Germany that dominates Russia is something that China never wants to see, and the left-handed fisherman's profit is a failure, so Lu Liang has no choice but to take the initiative to attack, and only when he gets it can he rest assured.

The world war was in full swing, and the Chinese army fought in the Pacific, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The Northeast Army and the Northwest Army Corps, which are in units of millions, are the real killer weapons of the Chinese army, which have the most elite armored troops, the largest artillery units, the largest mechanized troops and the largest air force fleet of the Chinese army, and the proportion of elite veterans among the grenadiers, infantry, and paratroopers is also the highest in the Chinese army. The purpose of this arrangement was to seize the richest northern land in the world.

Now the time is finally ripe, the two legions that can't wait are like hungry tigers in the mountains, according to the already formulated march plan, the steel torrent is crushed all the way, and the tactical infantry and grenadiers set foot on the foreign land, which was once covered by Chinese civilization, once named after Anxi, Beihai, etc., but has been occupied by barbarians for a long time.

In ancient times, it took the whole country to send troops to the frontier, and today's battles are also huge, and China has been preparing for this war for nearly ten years, with developed railways connecting the interior and the frontier, and in the northeast and Xinjiang, there are also developed industrial bases to provide war materials, which is the strongest backing for front-line soldiers.

In the Far East, Western Siberia, Central Siberia, and Central Asia, the strength of the Russian army was dangerously weak, and the apparent friendship between China and Russia and the approach of the German army caused this dilemma. In the major fortresses of the Far East, there was even a lack of soldiers to operate those artillery, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and under the strong fire of the Chinese army, the seemingly strong fortress was quickly captured. The Chinese army paid for valuable large-caliber artillery shells, napalm incendiary bombs and other special ammunition, but despite this, the Far East was also the slowest area for the Chinese army's attack, and it was not until three months later that the Russian army here was cleared. The same thing happened in Irkutsk, Tomtsk, Novosibirsk and other fortress groups, and the Russian army was caught off guard, with a small number of defenders, it withstood the attack of the Chinese army several times its size. But the fortress is not a panacea, especially when Hua Guo has most of the fortress blueprints.

At the same time, the Northwest Army had occupied the entire Central Asian region, where the troubles were mainly due to poor transportation conditions and the natural environment. The terrain of Central Asia is complex, there are plateaus, deserts, grasslands, and the Gobi, the low population density is enviable, and the huge armored cluster of the Chinese army requires harsh logistics and transportation.

The Central Asian peoples, like those Ukrainians and Poles, were also bullied and oppressed by the Slavs, and the preferential conditions proposed by the Chinese army were recognized by the locals, and hundreds of thousands of steppe herders became supporters of the Chinese army, which was one of the reasons for the rapid advance of the Chinese army.

Nicholas II was shocked by the fangs of China, and under the persecution of China and Germany, Nicholas II was in fear in the Ural mountains. The Germans and the Chinese made conditions to him at the same time, and in the end Nicholas II compromised, and in order to continue to maintain the status of the imperial family and his own rights, he declared an end to resistance. Peace talks between the three countries began in October 1912, and it took only a month for the three countries to sign a peace agreement, and the Russians eventually retained only a small area stretching from Kirov, Kazan, and Orenburg in the west, Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg in the east, and the Arctic Ocean in the north. Central Asia and the whole of Siberia and the Far East became the territory of China, and the Germans were even more supportive, from Moscow to the Caucasus, the entire Great Plain of Eastern Europe became the territory of Wilhelm II, of course, he would take care of the interests of the allied countries, but the lion's share certainly belonged to the Germans.

No Russian would be willing to change from the largest country in the world in terms of land area to a small regional country, but in the face of the international and domestic situation, the Russians have to swallow the bitter fruit. This is the war responsibility that must be borne, the allies Britain and the United States are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have lost one defeat after another on the domestic battlefield, and they are no longer capable of continuing to fight.

Russia's withdrawal from the war made Britain and the United States inevitably feel sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad, and maybe it would be their turn next, when the Suez Canal broke out again, and China was ready to move in Hawaii and Australia, everyone knew that the next target was the United States.

The long-awaited war has finally arrived, and the previous panic can finally be put down, and there is only one thing that can be done at this time, and that is to fight to the end. When the Chinese army launched a landing campaign on the West Coast, there was only one voice in the United States, fight, fight! This is a country with a very short history and a mix of ethnic groups, and it is difficult to imagine such a strong centripetal force in such a country. It is not so much Uncle Sam's patriotic feelings and national enthusiasm as the cowboy temperament of the Americans, who have formed a hard character in their bones from the time they were driven out by the Europeans to the fight between North America and the indigenous Indians.

By the time the North African campaign came to an end, the Chinese army had already gained a foothold in North America, and the fighting on the two West Coasts had killed and wounded more than half a million American soldiers. The seemingly powerful cowboy temperament was also frightened by this battle, and the commercial national character soon replaced the cowboy temperament, and the Americans tried to sue for peace with China.

For Lu Liang, a United States that can counterbalance Germany is a necessary existence, and at present, China has confronted the German army in North Africa, Syria and other places, and it can be seen that in the near future, it will be a world in which China and Germany are vying for hegemony, and the United States, which is close to China, can become the best ally, and even the United States can be hostile to China, as long as he does not fall to Germany.

Under this general principle, according to the peace treaty, the United States was divided into two parts: the eastern United States and the western United States, and Mexico, which was supported by China, gained a large amount of western territory and became another ally of the Chinese state in North America.

The British were the most tragic defeated country, and after the signing of the peace treaty between China and the United States, the stubborn and arrogant British refused to surrender. With the greatest malice, the Chinese troops stationed in the western United States immediately launched a land offensive against Canada, and the Chinese Atlantic Fleet landed in South Africa after the formation of the Chinese Atlantic Fleet, and jointly launched an offensive against the British mainland with the German High Seas Fleet. This was the end of the world war, and the time was fixed in August 1916.

One hundred years later, in 2016, the film "Steel Base" to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Lu Liang's death was released in major theaters around the world. The film does not explain the origin of the base, but it is the most reliable one to interpret Lu Liang's many versions.
