Chapter 1487: Shadows of China

Some of the information that Germany has collected is not of much use, but it is nothing, but the information that has been obtained can determine the situation in the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter all, the United States belongs to the Americas, and they can't make much effort in Europe, especially after Britain and France withdrew from the war, in Moltke's heart, they planned a big action, ready to take advantage of this time to inflict huge casualties on the Entente, which may not necessarily make Britain and France completely withdraw from the war, at least, let the American army suffer the greatest casualties, so as to disintegrate their courage to continue in Europe.

Defeat Britain and France, not only planning a large-scale rework in Italy, but also preparing to concentrate superior forces in Bordeaux to carry out a wave of attacks, even if it is a heavy sacrifice, it is necessary to let Britain and France suffer irresistible losses, and completely knock them out of this war.

Previously, the high seas fleet for the Bordeaux sneak attack, achieved relatively satisfactory results, although next, the Entente countries in the English Channel to a large extent, but the width of the strait, more than 30 kilometers, how can tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of mines can be blocked, but Schell and other high-level naval officials, for the sake of safety, plus the army has no support requirements, it can be regarded as a retreat.

In the past half a month, the navy's small ships have been dispatched, even in the mine area, to find a safe place, at least let the high seas fleet is no problem, according to German news, at present, the United States, the production of battleships has not been launched, of which the highest degree of completion, directly hit by the Chinese fleet on the slipway, this is the misfortune of the US military, but also Germany's luck, the Bordeaux line looks impregnable, but if the high seas fleet comes a few more times, even if you don't have to break through the line every time, As long as he pursues the side of the United States, he will lose about 1 million troops in at least three or four attacks, and the United States will be in a dilemma if he joins the previous losses.

To a certain extent, the plan formulated by Moltke Jr. is quite feasible, especially the effect of the first high seas Fleet's sneak attack on Bordeaux, which makes Moltke Jr. quite confident, but he also knows that maybe the second time can also have a considerable effect, and the third time will be difficult, after all, again and again, not again and again, the Entente in front of the High Seas Fleet, has suffered a big loss, and will definitely think of countermeasures, although it will still have an effect, it will definitely not be so obvious, It is certainly unrealistic to rely on naval artillery to completely defeat the millions of troops in Bordeaux, but it is still possible to achieve certain results.

Moltke was full of ambition, Chinese diplomats came up, although Moltke was a little unhappy, but from the beginning of the war to the present, Germany encountered a series of crises, all of which were solved with the help of China, China was the period when the greatest support for Germany, without China, many of Germany's actions would be suspended, and even in 1915, even military rations were imported from China, which shows the great influence of China.

As a high-level military, one of the absolute controllers of the entire Germany, Moltke Jr.'s perception of China is more or less mixed, as a high-level, he is very clear about Germany's dependence on China, but as a German, he still has some regrets in his heart, Germany has paid such a big sacrifice, and even invested such a huge amount of resources, but has not reaped greater benefits at all, Germany is still in a bitter war, whether it is in Europe, or elsewhere, the benefits are limited, A huge amount of money was spent for the war, and the only harvest was the nearly 1 million square kilometers of Russian land and Baku harvested in 1915, and the latter basically had the same effect as the former, with an annual output of nearly 100 million tons.

China has just entered the war, and it has shown a strong situation, not only like a spider, Bala all the land that can be barra, and even in the Pacific Ocean and Australia, Germany almost hard to get nearly a million square kilometers of land in Russia, but China, in Siberia won 7 million, Southeast Asia more than 3 million, and Australia 7 million, these will become their future goals, as for Germany, the best is to occupy part of the territory of Europe, may not be able to take, This is evident from the fact that Germany did not send a large number of civilians to the Belgian and French lands they currently occupied, and they did not have the confidence to keep these territories in the face of a massive Allies counterattack.

Moltke Jr. is currently only based on the second attack, how to seize the point in time, Bordeaux's defensive line, the Allied armies are rotated, the range of the ships' naval guns has been determined before, and the second sneak attack can only be formulated when the number of American troops in the range is the largest, and as for the third and fourth times, it will not be determined until the end of the second war and after seeing the results of the battle.

However, at this time, such a solemn invitation from the Chinese ambassador must be an urgent situation.

In this case, he also has to pay attention to the opinions of the Chinese side, at least he can't easily refute it, he must pay attention to it, in case it is really a very critical intelligence, if it is missed, maybe there will be huge losses, and they are not willing to go through it again.

At this time, the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and hundreds of special forces soldiers are still on the 3B railway line, and they will not be able to arrive until late this night at the earliest, but through the channel, they still sent a drawing in advance, which is described by telegram, and the drawings are restored by mechanical experts.

The real precision drawings, still in the body of the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he personally carried the most precise drawings, is coming on the train, little Moltke did not expect, in front of him is a drawing, at a glance it seems to be a mechanical creation, but look at it seriously, little Moltke was stunned, the drawings look very simple, but there are many explanations on it, little Moltke is an army officer, he also once thought, how to crack the trench warfare and barbed wire, motor vehicles once entered his field of vision, He had no way to solve the problem of protection, and the rigidity of the Germans made it impossible for them to invent tanks on a whim and creatively like the British, so they missed this opportunity.

However, there is no creativity, it does not mean that there is no vision, a few parts of the mechanical drawings are simply outlined, and their nature is clearly revealed, especially the obvious graphics of several machine guns, which proves that he is a military product, and Germany's natural advantages in machinery make him very clear to see the advantages and benefits of this thing, and almost jump directly.

Moltke Jr. didn't think that this is not all, this drawing according to the Chinese Foreign Minister's rhetoric, is from a secret channel, it should be the British side has completed the preparation of new weapons, this weapon may have more than 2,500 vehicles, Moltke's vision, especially in the talent of the army, he immediately figured it out, if one or two, this kind of weapon, the impact is not great, just use the division-level artillery fire, 155 heavy artillery, the use of high-explosive shells, you can destroy this weapon at close range, But if there are enough of them, that is, against the whole line of defense, it will be very terrible, what can they do then, they can't let all the artillery fire, do this kind of thing, it is equivalent to no effect, if there is no weapon against them, the next time, Germany will probably have a very difficult time.

In an instant, Moltke's heart, from the previous sunshine, to the current dark clouds, what to use the high seas fleet against Boer attack, as far as possible to hit the United States The idea of almost directly failed, if this matter is not solved, maybe in the first half of 1915 to 11916, the advantages obtained, uncertain, all of a sudden will have to be thoroughly explained, maybe there will be more losses, as soon as he thinks of this, little Moltke is a little excited, and naturally looks at the northwest ambassador opposite, Since the Chinese reminded him afterwards, it is clear that they have a solution.

Sure enough, the foreign minister of the northwest took out a weapon, which looked very strange, just an iron pipe, almost more than one meter and a half in length, and the caliber was very thick, but the details were not so fine, and even rocket artillery was generally just a figure.

Although this thing is very strange, or even just a figure, but Moltke looked at it quite seriously, and suddenly got this so-called British drawing, and realized that this thing appeared for trench warfare, and Moltke was naturally looking for a way to crack it, but such an armor is a combination of genius creativity and motor vehicles, how could it be thought of in a short time, the only thing Moltke thought of was to create the same thing to counter.

It's a pity that this thing is the same as a battleship, as long as it is not involved in the early stage, it will naturally be a step slower, this drawing is completely from the hands of the British, it is obvious that the British side has studied almost, and even has formed a physical object, in this case, how much can Germany catch up, besides, look at the armored force, it is also based on machine guns, this thing has a certain effect on trench warfare, and even a fixed position, but if you want to have armored power against armored power, it seems that it is not so reliable, The most effective thing to deal with is artillery, but artillery does not necessarily have a great effect on charging soldiers, let alone armored vehicles that may move at 15 or even 20 kilometers per hour, unless it is a direct hit, the lethality of fragments and shrapnel is almost non-existent.

When Moltke did not have a good way to get such a weapon for trench warfare, he naturally looked at the Chinese ambassador with anticipation in his eyes, wanting to get an answer from the Chinese ambassador. (To be continued.) )
