Section 367 The End of the War?
Entering December, the flu is still not over, and it is getting more and more intense. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Public events have been banned in major Chinese cities, and in modern cities like Shanghai, cinemas, cinemas, dance halls, and nightclubs have been shutting down, and pedestrians have been wearing masks.
For a while, the price of masks quadrupled.
Similar to doubling the price of masks, lime has also doubled, and Yang Chao feels that lime can disinfect and make the streets of big cities regularly sprinkled with lime.
Under strong administrative intervention, there was no such thing as a large-scale spread, no spread in the big cities, and no greater danger in the sparsely populated countryside.
It is a miracle that China has recorded less than 200,000 casualties, and of course, the most important thing is that the population is physically strong.
Americans died 200,000 in one month in October, France and Germany also had a large number of deaths, and eventually more than 5 million people will die from the flu in the United States, more than 400,000 in France, more than 500,000 in Germany, more than 400,000 in the United Kingdom, and Russia has no data, only more.
But the most serious is actually Spain, history records, Spain has 8 million people died of this flu, and it is the reason why this flu is called the Spanish flu, because it is the most serious, it was the Spaniards who first proposed that this is the plague, and other countries thought it was a German biological weapon at first.
After the Spaniards brought it up, everyone understood that it was a plague, so they were also called the Spanish Lady, the Lady of Terror.
This flu made the whole autumn and winter, both sides did not dare to start a large-scale war, and most of the people in many military camps were sneezing.
However, this was a rare opportunity for the Germans, if they could take the opportunity to rest the front, they did not need to defeat the Entente, they only needed to let the other side understand that Germany had the ability to protect itself, and maybe they could survive this year, and the Entente could only accept a peace without victory.
It's a pity that the Germans revolutionized.
Because with the development of the war situation in the past few months, although the German army still threatened the security of Paris within 100 kilometers of Paris, Austria-Hungary could not withstand it.
Both Britain and France sent troops into Italy, with Britain and France as the core elite, and the Italians also broke out with courage, and they actually broke through the Austro-Hungarian defense line.
The Austro-Hungarians have always looked down on Italy and called Italians rabbits, because Italians are very protile, just like rabbits, and strong fertility seems to be a common trait of ancient countries, China and India are very promising.
The reason why Austria-Hungary was invaded into the country by rabbits is not only because the Austro-Hungarian army has no combat effectiveness, they were able to use 80,000 people to resist the attack of more than 300,000 Italian troops for three years, at least it shows that they are still very combative, but the first attack has the British and French troops, and the second Austria-Hungary is collapsing.
The little emperor Karl of Austria-Hungary, in order to ease the ******** in the country, allowed the various ethnic groups to be autonomous, but instead of the support of these peoples, it caused a wave of division. The Czech Republic was the first to declare the Hungarian state, followed by the most important country, Hungary, which was devastating.
Since the British and French forced Turkey to withdraw from the war, they could enter the Black Sea through the straits, they landed from Bulgaria, and Bulgaria surrendered. At the same time, Britain and France could land in Romania and support the recovery of Romania, a member of the Entente that had already been defeated by Austria-Hungary.
As the Entente continued to approach the Hungarian border from Romanian soil, Hungary panicked and announced the recall of their Hungarian soldiers from the Austro-Hungarian army to defend their homeland, resulting in the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian army.
The Italians, under the leadership of the elite British and French troops, broke through the Austro-Hungarian defense line, and then when Austria-Hungary announced its surrender to the Entente, the Italian army continued to pursue, and captured a large group of Austro-Hungarian soldiers who had no intention of resisting, capturing a total of 400,000 people, and achieving a famous victory in Italian military history.
The Austro-Hungarian surrender left Germany alone, surrounded by Imperial troops.
And there are many contradictions in the country, although the people will not starve to death, but the lack of various materials still makes them angry, the people are boiling, and they demand that the blockade be lifted, so Germany ordered their 'powerful' navy to leave the port and fight a decisive battle with the British navy, the German military understood that leaving the port was a death, but they had to give an explanation to the people, so they gave the navy an order to attack the British army until the fleet sank.
Faced with this order to send them to death, the brave German sailors revolted and occupied the port, the city government and other institutions.
Under the uprising of the sailors, the Socialist Party in various places also revolted, and there was great chaos in Germany.
The Kaiser wanted the army to suppress it, but the army refused, and the Kaiser had no choice but to hand over power to the government and then choose exile.
As in history, it was only delayed by half a year, and in March 1919, the Kiel sailors revolted, and in that month the German government contacted the Entente and accepted the surrender.
Germany's surrender meant the end of the war.
When the news spread, the whole West celebrated.
The French, who swept away half a century of humiliation and finally defeated Germany with huge casualties, had reason and right to celebrate, and the British had once again defeated the challengers from the continent and maintained their supremacy, and the people of the British Empire would continue to enjoy the glory, and they had reason to celebrate.
But the Germans were too skinless and faceless, and they celebrated along. On the front lines, German soldiers stepped out of the trenches to exchange gifts with the French, British, and Americans amicably, exchanging bayonets and military hats, and dancing shoulder to shoulder to celebrate the end of the brutal fighting and the restoration of friendship.
The streets of Paris were filled with frantic cheers, excited young men and women hugging and kissing, and after more than four years of suffering, the cultural capital was not destroyed.
The British in London were a little more restrained than the French, but there was still joy on their faces, and the men would stop and take off their hats to each other when they met, saying good luck or long live the king.
The celebration of the Americans is not worth mentioning, the war has a very shallow impact on them, and in addition to the soldiers who fought on the battlefield, the common people are more concerned about the big flu.
Only the Belgians can compare their joy with that of the French, because they were destroyed by Germany for no reason during the war, and after four years of humiliating life under German rule, they finally returned to their country, which was more rare than simply winning the war, and they felt for the first time that it was good to have their own country.
At the same time the French army followed the German army into Germany, and the British navy landed in German ports, and the Germans suddenly felt that they had lost something precious, and a kind of shadow was cast over their hearts, and in the future they would pay far more than they now would pay in order to wash away this shadow.
The Entente then began to disarm Germany, and the Germans were ordered to lay down their arms, and the mighty force that had been pressing on France for half a century disappeared.
The German army began to retreat from the front, and the common people in the rear suddenly felt a little regretful when they saw the troops on the front, they saw that these soldiers who came back from the front line were completely different from the rebel sailors and the Socialist army, they were still disciplined, lined up in neat queues, and walked through the streets and alleys.
But in fact, these soldiers did not have much regret in their hearts, because they did their best for the country, they fought, they sacrificed, but they failed, and they had a clear conscience.
So the soldiers refused to admit that they had been defeated, because they could still see the Eiffel Tower in Paris until the rear ordered them to return home.
As a result, the army did not admit defeat, the people were ashamed, and the hysterical exploitation of Germany by Britain and France planted the bitter fruit of the German reckoning decades later.
The Germans disarmed, surrendered to the Entente, began negotiations, and history largely considered the end of the war in Europe.
But the war is not over, because the Russians are fighting the right ones.
The Tsar's army entered Europe, and the Russian peasants, who had been tormented by famine, once again welcomed the return of the Tsar with great enthusiasm, and they fervently hoped that the Tsar would bring them bread, but unfortunately the Tsar could not save them from starvation, and the Tsar was only willing to provide food for those he fought, so a large number of rural youths joined the army.
The peasants joined the tsarist army, while Soviet Russia armed the workers, and this civil war was actually a civil war between workers and peasants. (To be continued.) )
