November 29, 1868, in the known history this is a very ordinary day, but in this history has been unrecognizable, November 29, 1868, the Russian army actually took the lead in igniting the fire of war before the German army attacked France, Tsar Nicholas I personally drove the expedition, and the Russian Marshal Duravievsky commanded the Russian army to advance on the left, center and right three heavy groups of 1.6 million Russian troops violently adopted the tactics of advancing on the whole front, and advanced to the area occupied by Germany, because the main force of the German army had been transferred to the Western Front, and the Germans have already preset a decisive battlefield with the Russian army in the fortress of Gozów, so the advance of the Russian army seems to be very smooth.

However, the advancing Russian army also learned from the Polish spies that more than 100,000 volunteers of the Chinese Empire are now defending the Gozów Fortress, and the main force of the Germans and the Austro-Hungarian army are all on the left and right flanks of the Gozów Fortress.

The main reason why Nicholas I dared to go on an expedition was because Duke Singlev, who was stationed in Moscow, still had an army of nearly 500,000 in his hands, and these troops were obviously a little powerless to counterattack the Far East, but if they were defended, it was still a rather deterrent force.

The reason why Nicholas I dared to let go of the attack on Germany was because with the guarantee of Empress Victoria and Napoleon III, they promised to completely destroy Germany's military vitality within two months, in this way, even if the Chinese Empire launched an attack from the Far East, two months would only be the so-called troops in the city, and it would be impossible to capture Moscow, so Nicholas I decided to take this risk, thinking that if Germany could be defeated in a very short time, then Russia could annex the whole of Poland, Then you can use the Czech Republic to attack Austria-Hungary, there is no doubt that Russia will become the biggest beneficiary, benefits and risks coexist, Nicholas I is very aware of the current situation of the Russian Empire at the moment, it can only be said that the internal and external troubles of the huge Russian Empire have reached a very terrible situation, only through this desperate war can everything be saved, and the army is the biggest capital of Nicholas I, so he personally drove the expedition in person.

However, the current Marshal of the Russian Army Duravievsky is inferior to Chekov in terms of fame and ability, but this time with the assistance of Britain and France, the Russian Empire quickly armed nearly two million troops, in the eyes of Nicholas I, even if the equipment, training, and quality of their troops are inferior to the German army, but the number of their own army has a very large advantage, and they use their own quantity to drown out the quality of the other side.

For the Chinese Empire in the Far East, now Nicholas I's countermeasure is not to take care of it, it can also be said that he is incapable of taking care of it, although Nicholas I knows very well that the later he counterattacks the other side, the more fully prepared, but he is also helpless against the tactics of Britain and France first Europe and then Asia, because Russia no longer has the capital to compete with Britain and France, and the only thing Russia has is manpower. This made Nicholas I very uncomfortable and even annoyed!

With the start of the Russian offensive on the Eastern Front, war clouds are already gathering at the moment on the borders of Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, and even a spark can trigger a fire that engulfs everything!

The German army has gathered nearly 900,000 troops in 80 divisions on the Western Front, and the German army will be divided into two heavy groups to break into France, if the German army can break through hard enough and fast enough, the German chief of the general staff Moltke believes that the German army can win a victory, they can use the division and interspersed tactics to quickly divide and encircle and defeat the French army in Sedang for the first time, then they can also defeat the French for the second time, or even the third time.

To this end, Moltke's left-wing heavy army group was to attack Belgium directly via France, while von Moltke's heavy army group on the left flank was to attack Belgium via France. Field Marshal Bauman commanded a group of heavy troops on the right flank, which did not hesitate to trample on neutral Luxembourg to attack France, Moltke believed that this would completely prevent the main German army from encountering the main forces of the British and French forces and even the Entente bloc and falling into a trench stalemate.

As many as 50 divisions of the British Expeditionary Force have arrived in France, and the French second-line corps is being intensively grouped, and in order to quickly break the German offensive on the Western Front, it is inevitable to adopt a more fierce offensive, and there is no best defense in the world, the best defense is to attack.

For different considerations and purposes, Britain, France, and Germany have shifted their attention to the Western Front, Britain and France are preparing to implement a multinational trusteeship on Germany after breaking the main force of the German army on the Western Front, so that the German Empire will collapse and return to the era of the Prussian city-state, and the Germans are also preparing to quickly defeat the main force of the Anglo-French Allied Forces on the Western Front, only in this way can the German army use its developed domestic railway network to make its mobile troops can be quickly redeployed, trying to defeat the Russians who came with the strength of the whole country.

In the face of naked interests, whether it is the Entente side or the Central Powers, no one really cares about the excuses and reasons for declaring war, everything depends on strength, this is a final contest between the new rising forces and the old forces, one side wants to seize resources to ensure its sustainable and high-speed development, on the other hand, it is necessary to completely stifle all possible threats!

On December 20, 1868, when the heavy forces of the French army began to move towards the Rhine area, the heavy armies on the left and right flanks of the German army began to thrust into the ribs of the French giant like two sharp knives, and the European war broke out in full swing.

On January 5, 1869, Lin Haijiang obtained the first information on the operations of the Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force in Germany and the specific situation analysis of the warring countries in the European war.

Through this analysis report, Lin Haijiang was very unoptimistic and directly pointed out the excessive optimism of the Germans, Lin Haijiang did not think that the Germans with the advantage of troops without fighting could quickly give the main force of the British and French coalition a devastating blow with firepower, although the empire had provided the Germans with 50,000 special ammunition and the necessary gas masks, but relying on special artillery shells to win a battle Lin Haijiang was convinced, but it would be very difficult to win a battle by relying on a certain advanced weapon, let alone winning a war.

This was the prelude to the fierce First World War! Lin Haijiang stands in front of the huge world map, this is obviously the last large-scale war to divide the world on a global scale, if you miss this opportunity, then you can only carry out colonial plunder, and as a colonial political axe, it is a matter of time before it is overthrown, in Lin Haijiang's view, only by putting all the land into the territory of the empire, is the real comfort!

However, Lin Haijiang soon discovered that the Gozów Fortress where the Imperial Expeditionary Force was located would become the target of the Russian army's concentrated attack, and the elite troops of the 220,000 Chinese Expeditionary Force were stationed in the Gozów Fortress.
