Chapter 1468: Rebalancing the Results

Fighters are often like this, fleeting, the speed of the British side is quite fast, these high-ranking officials who have fled beyond the range can no longer be in place, they have returned to the battlefield, regardless of the threat of artillery fire, command the battle.

The German army on the opposite side, although they saw some fighters, but the front-line soldiers were not affected much, or there were, and they recovered quickly, in this case, they could not attack the structure of a stable defensive line, perhaps, the Germans broke the boat, with 200,000 soldiers to charge, at a critical moment, to break through the British defensive line, but the German army hesitated slightly, this opportunity was lost, when the Allied army re-stabilized the defensive line, the German army just a wave of back attack, after a little success, then retreated.

On the entire Bordeaux battlefield, Germany's biggest result was that the naval guns directly injured almost 80,000 people, and 350,000 people who were prominently annihilated, and the remaining additional casualties did not exceed 30,000, but close to 450,000 casualties, and the salient area was wiped out, which was equivalent to spending huge damage and occupying a dominant position was completely killed, and almost lost the first line of defense, fortunately, it was stable, but the officers above the major general who went to the support, 2 dead and 3 wounded, they were all killed on the way to support, or in the troops, were killed.

In the 6 million army, there are almost more than 100 officers above the major general, but 5 were killed and wounded at once, which is also a large casualty, but it is useless, compared with the soldiers, these officers are nothing, in a million-level war, officers, it is really nothing.

3 hours of shelling, most of the artillery fired at least 200 rounds, the general artillery may have consumed a lot, even if it is a Chinese-made battleship like the fantasy class, a little better, but it is impossible to continue to hold on, even if there is no enemy, from the departure to the present, it still lasted 3 hours of high-intensity attack, all the navy has reached the limit, too much, if it persists, the British Navy will definitely come out, when the time comes, the German fleet that is already half-crippled, In the face of the Allied fleet like a wolf and a tiger, it was not a decisive battle, it was attacked, and the water dogs were beaten.

This is the role of the existence of the fleet, even if Germany occupies an absolute advantage, and there is even a great possibility that the other party will not appear, it will not reach the limit, because the limit represents the end of the strong crossbow, the limit represents that there is no room for anything, the possibility of British attack is very low, but once it attacks, then the high seas fleet will be wiped out, even if it is impossible to risk in case, even if Schell is counted as a radical admiral, he is also a loyal to Germany, A man who was bent on bringing victory to Germany in this unprecedented world war could not have put the High Seas Fleet in danger for the sake of a slight advantage.

The High Seas Fleet left in the morning, 3 hours of shelling, 1 hour of rest, and then another 5 minutes of shelling, and then left Bordeaux, and the guns rang out for the next day or so, and the Allied forces in the bulge were routed, most of them were annihilated, and the entire Entente suffered huge losses.

But 2 days later, the battlefield was calm, the Entente's troops on the front line of Bordeaux, relatively huge, 6 million against less than 4 million, with a huge advantage, plus trench warfare, itself is strong and weak in defense, in this case, as long as the Entente has a stable defensive line, then Germany will not attack, then the loss is too great, the gain outweighs the loss.

A sudden attack, so ended, Germany achieved his goal, the Allies suffered heavy losses, but the balance on the battlefield was restored, and then, in order to avoid another German sneak attack, Britain began to lay mines in a large area of the North Sea, since it could not completely blockade Bordeaux, so it added a little difficulty to the German fleet.

Sure enough, Britain only laid 3 million mines, and the German High Seas Fleet did not dare to wander easily, at most only sent a few warships, under the escort of small warships, to be able to move in a small area, and rarely approached the English Channel, which is the place where the Entente laid the most mines.

In this way, Britain used mines, once again blocked the road of German attack, Britain also knew that this was temporary, even a strait more than 30 kilometers long, 3 million mines are just decorations, and even affect the merchant ships coming and going to the English Channel, but the full force of the German high seas fleet is too big to attack the Bordeaux front, if this situation is allowed to continue, perhaps, the Bordeaux front line will collapse.

At present, under the premise that Britain has no way to confront the High Seas Fleet, it is the choice he should make to delay as much time as possible, even if it damages the interests of the Entente because of this.

Once again, the army and navy were stable, and Scheer was planning to attack, but Scheer's fleet would not continue to attack until he was fully prepared to clear a safe path in the English Channel.

April and May 1916 passed like this, for the Entente, it was torment, for Germany was high-spirited, with the help of China, Germany gained maritime superiority in Europe, seriously made some attacks, not only in the north of Britain, occupied several islands, obtained the encirclement of Britain, and then, as long as it was not out of absolute disadvantage at sea, they were able to hold this piece, even if the Entente side, stabilized the situation, to a certain extent, suppressed them, It is also very difficult to take these islands.

As long as the mines in the North Sea are cleared, the high seas fleet can freely move around the islands and the Baltic Sea area, and may threaten the German mainland at any time.

In particular, on this day in April, with the help of the advantages of the High Seas Fleet and with the help of reconnaissance planes, Germany attacked Bordeaux, which not only wiped out the advantage that the Entente had worked hard to occupy for almost a year, but also annihilated more than 500,000 enemies, inflicting a heavy blow on the Entente, further ensuring the superiority of the land force over the Entente, and forcing the Entente to lay mines on the busiest shipping lane, the English Channel, and had to rely on a defensive posture to ensure a fragile balance.

The two sides have fallen into a stalemate again, this is the norm of war in the past four years, if you have to fight every day and attack every day, even if the Entente and the Allied countries have more troops, they can't support this, similar to the loss of 200,000 a day, 365 days, that is, more than 70 million, all the armies of the Entente and the Allied countries are gathered together, there are not so many, and even the young people from 16 to 50 years old are concentrated, maybe there are so many people, if it really fights like this, there is no winner in the whole battle.

Both the Entente and the Allies are looking for flaws in each other and increasing their own chances of victory, such an unprecedented world war cannot be ended in a day or two, and they have enough patience to wait.

The Entente is waiting for the United States to produce enough warships, and Germany is the same, the Kaiser recognized China's strength, at that time there were ripples in his heart, after the success of the Bordeaux sneak attack, he chose to put forward new requirements for China, the number of first workers must be increased by 3 million, which is already the highest peak between the two countries, because it was already at a considerable height before, and now it has increased by 3 million at one time, at least 2 million labor can be liberated, It is a shot in the arm for Germany, and it is also very beneficial for the next protracted war.

Germany's requirements are very harsh, and the requirements for labor have increased a lot, but for the general pass, it is acceptable, the country has undergone preliminary training, and it is not suitable for higher jobs for the time being, it is better to put it here in Germany, there is a time of half a year, and it is good to rotate, China as long as Germany does not put these people above the army, it has been accepted, and replaced by the old China, maybe when Germany is in a more dangerous stage, they have long been put on the army, but China has this self-confidence, Germany will not turn its face with China until it is absolutely sure, and the series of plans that have been determined before can also be guaranteed.

The second point demanded by Germany was that the army, as before, demanded the Indonesian natives. Although the Indonesian natives are lazy, but under high pressure, they are willing to give everything, and even, they are willing to join the German nationality, willing to contribute their own strength to the Germans, this is an unexpected surprise, Germany adheres to the attitude of the Germans, but it is not without accommodation, after all, now in the time of war, the huge war consumption, even if Germany has the upper hand, the number of casualties is only about one-third of that of other countries, but the absolute amount is not low at all, Germany only has a population of more than 60 million, Even if the Germans returned, the total number was still small, and Germany did not have as many overseas colonies as Britain and France, and according to the ratio of 1:3, Germany was the first to hold on.

Negotiations, bargaining, in fact, the intention has been determined, there is no obvious contradiction between China and Germany, or the contradiction has not been exposed, in this case, Germany is unhappy, from China to ask for more benefits, in the future, China for various reasons, finally agreed to this benefit, between the two giants, did not have a contradiction because of these, but cooperated more tacitly, in China to support 3 million laborers, and 1.8 million natives urgently recruited from Indonesia, when they arrived in Germany together, The Germans have reached a limit in their manpower and they will move on to the next attack.
