"No, Your Majesty, the situation has changed, and we can use this new weapon." Lieutenant General Scheer was astonishing, he did not sell the guanzi, and then explained: "The trade between China and us has not been severed, the Entente countries have a lot of materials to import from China, and the British are also worried that the colonies in Southeast Asia and India will be threatened after angering China, so they are very tolerant of China's merchant ships and will not inspect them." ”

"I have secretly asked the military attache of the Chinese embassy in Berlin whether it is possible to sell to Germany bombers that can carry heavy bombs and have a long range and attack planes that can carry torpedo attacks, but I have not received a positive answer. What is surprising is that the military attaché, after inquiring about the country, said that he could produce for us a biplane that could attack warships, and its performance was much higher than that of our Fokker aircraft, but there were not many of them. The Chinese seem to have sensed the purpose for which we needed that kind of aircraft, but in order to hide their eyes and ears from the help of the Chinese people that allowed us to have that kind of aircraft, they did not want to sell the advanced aircraft that was unveiled in the Yokosuka incident and instead produced a new type of aircraft. ”

"Huaguo's scientific and technological strength is really bottomless, is there any possibility of an alliance with it?" Wilhelm II asked, this was not the first time he had asked such an inquiry, but he did not receive an affirmative answer from Hua Guo. After asking this sentence, Wilhelm II also felt that it was impossible, so he had to smile bitterly, but fortunately, Huaguo's help was almost the same as a real ally!

"According to Huaguo's estimates, it would take about six months for this aircraft to be built and then secretly shipped to Germany, and I suspect that they had already built and stored such aircraft, and the agreed total number was 75. The next step is to wait and train pilots who can attack from sea. ”

In order to help Germany gain an advantage on the battlefield, Lu Liang also took great pains, and he couldn't turn his face with Britain, and he did too much of this kind of sneaky thing, and there will always be a day when secrets will be leaked. Lu Liang only hoped that he would be fully prepared before that day came, and also hoped that the Germans would not live up to their hard work.

After sending off the admiral, Schlieffen, the chief of the army staff, walked into Wilhelm II's office, and stood still in front of William in military uniform, with a straight body and a good spirit, the resolute face unique to the Aryans did not fade with the years, but became more obvious. Who would have thought that this old man would almost have to see God more than a year ago?

"My marshal, is there any good news for me today?" Wilhelm II was in a good mood and was in a better mood after seeing that Marshal Schlieffen was in good health.

"Your Majesty, there is good news every day, and today is no exception. Our air force gained air supremacy in Belgium, and the boys of the stand-up fighters shot down 133 enemy aircraft on the first day, losing less than 20 of their own. In the fighting that followed, the coalition planes gradually reduced the number of takeoffs, and perhaps they did not have more planes for the lads to shoot. Under the cover of the fighters, our bombers almost perfectly completed the ground support mission, and a large number of important enemy targets were destroyed by the bombers, which also allowed our right flank group to advance smoothly. ”

After all, he was old, and after a brief introduction, Schlieffen sat next to Wilhelm II under the service of the royal butler, and motioned to the captain of the staff headquarters, Blomburg, to introduce the current situation of the war.

This young captain, named Blomburg, came from a well-known family, had solid professional knowledge, was intelligent, witty, and capable, and was very well respected by Marshal Schlieffen in the work of the General Staff Headquarters.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, please look here." Blomburg stood in front of the first military map with the whip in hand and said to the two, neither nervous nor arrogant.

"General Moltke the Younger of the 1st Army is well advanced in the Ardennes Forest area, crushing several Belgian defenders, and the enemy is vulnerable to our Panzer Corps. The infantry corps accompanying the advance of the armored corps and the Second Army of General Büloh had also entered the Ardennes Forest, which, according to the General Staff's estimates, would emerge from the Ardennes Forest in ten days and appear behind the Allied Belgian Corps. According to reconnaissance, the French 3rd and 4th armies were moving towards the Ardennes Forest area and were expected to encounter General Moltke Jr.'s corps. ”

"The three corps of the third, fourth and fifth corps, the main forces of the right flank, have already entered war with the coalition forces. The 3rd and 4th armies forced their way across the Sambur and Meuse rivers respectively, and the frontal enemy was the French Fifth Army. The Fifth Army encountered the British Expeditionary Force in the Mons area, and the battle was raging. ”

"In the eastern border area, the French are out of fortifications, the First and Second Armies are advancing into Alsace and Lorraine, our Sixth and Seventh Corps are resolutely resisting, and General Schringen is ready to launch a surprise attack in ten days to repel the French attack."

"General Hindenburg and Chief of Staff Ludendorff on the Eastern Front led the Eighth Army to defend against the Russian offensive, but the Russians were ill-prepared and did not pose a threat to the Austro-Hungarian border with our country."

Wilhelm II nodded, he was very relieved that Hindenburg and Ludendorff were enough to hold off the Russians with the Eighth Army, and there was nothing more to worry about than the combat effectiveness of the ally Austro-Hungarian army.

The center of gravity was still on the Western Front, and even through the introduction of the staff officers, Wilhelm II could feel the rain of bullets there. It's just that reality is even more cruel than Wilhelm II's fantasy, and every second soldiers die.

Corporal Adolf was almost killed by a shrapnel while hiding in the trenches, and on the battlefield of Ipres in Belgium, Adolf's 16th Infantry Regiment was ordered to capture a bridge not far away, which was guarded by more than 600 Belgian infantry, who held out in the face of superior German firepower.

Rather than a battlefield where his life could be lost at any moment, Adolf preferred to make a living selling paintings on the streets of Munich, even if he lived in poverty and lived in a modest single dormitory. He regretted a little that he had volunteered to join the army, and that he had gone out of the battalion headquarters to transmit a message to the infantry companies on the front line - the herald was a more dangerous profession than ordinary infantry!

Pulling the bolt of his Mauser rifle, Adolf clenched his fists and jumped out of the trench taking advantage of the smoke from the nearby explosion, aiming for a crater dozens of meters away, and as soon as he got there, he would not be far from his destination.

During these tens of meters of stooping and running, Adolf was lucky not to be hit by bullets, and no shells fell on his own path. This made Adolf, who was lying in the crater, very happy. The bullet belt wrapped around his body and the sapper shovel behind his back made Adolf feel extremely heavy, and he was just about to crawl out of the crater when a bullet "swished" on the dirt ten centimeters away from him, splashing dust on Adolf's face.

Targeted by the enemy! Adolf immediately retracted into the crater, he did not know the direction of the enemy, and he did not know how many guns were aimed at him, and just when he was in a dilemma, a German plane rescued him - the bomber suddenly appeared on the battlefield and dropped a light bomb on the enemy position a few hundred meters ahead, temporarily dumbing the enemy's firepower.

More than a dozen German soldiers took the opportunity to charge and rushed into that position under the cover of heavy machine guns. Feeling the focus on himself shifted, Adolf finally mustered up the courage to leave the crater and appear intact in front of the 3rd Company of the 16th Infantry Regiment.

"Excuse me, where is Steyr Company Commander? The battalion headquarters ordered three companies to attack the enemy's right flank to provide cover for the main attacking force! Adolf shouted among the German soldiers, the sound of the battlefield muffled Adolf's voice, and it took several minutes to find the company headquarters with the help of the soldiers.

"No problem! Corporal, how about supplies at the battalion headquarters, our company needs more machine-gun bullets and mortar shells! The company commander seemed to be very relaxed, and asked casually, which made Adolf very impressed, he could remain calm and optimistic on the tense battlefield, and he deserved to be the world's first Prussian soldier.

"It should be sufficient, but machine gun ammunition and mortar shells are not known, there are too many soldiers who go to receive supplies, most of them are machine gun bullets, mortar shells and grenades, they are very popular!"

The company commander pursed his lips and said loudly to the second lieutenant next to him: "Take five people to the battalion headquarters to get ammunition, and when you come back, look for us on the flank!" Then he handed Adolf a cigarette: "Thank you for the information!" ”

Adolf, who had just joined the army, only saw the flying bullets and the smoke from the explosion, but he could not understand the battle situation as clearly as the company commander. The Belgians on the opposite side were very poorly prepared, they did not build minefields, they did not pull up barbed wire, even the trenches were shallow to death, and the artillery positions were completely suppressed by the Germans. The Belgian soldiers resisted the attack of the German elite soldiers with all their enthusiasm, but they constantly lost their positions in the face of huge losses and were compressed within a few dozen meters on the side of the bridge.

When Adolf returned safely to the battalion headquarters, news came that the Belgian defenders had surrendered, that their courage to defend their country had finally been exhausted in front of the German soldiers, and that a Belgian major officer had not given the order to blow up the bridge, which would have given them inhumane treatment as prisoners.
