Chapter 355: War in Europe

This war plan was finally presented to Guo Yu after two months of in-depth investigation and analysis of the situation of the countries on Kalimantan Island by the General Staff Department, combined with the distribution of surrounding forces, the combat effectiveness of South China, and the resistance intensity of various countries.

This plan has been detailed in terms of which force to send and what kind of weapons and equipment are needed to attack that target, what kind of weapons and equipment are needed, how other countries will react after the first goal is accomplished, and what will be the next step.

From the arrangement of the army to the diplomatic negotiations, to the military strength of various countries, the resistance that may be encountered, etc., a detailed analysis and prediction have been carried out, and it has completely achieved one step at a time and three steps, of course, there is also a credit to Guo Yu, because the framework of this large military operation was formulated by Guo Yu.

In fact, Guo Yu didn't use any brains, in later generations, Japan invaded the entire Nanyang, and implemented a two-front battle plan, of course, it was a military operation against several countries in Nanyang, what was the result, Japan only took less than two months, basically occupied most of the Nanyang land, including the colonies of the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, etc., and the entire Nanyang basically did not encounter any major resistance.

Among them, the operation against Borneo is one of the plans, which is also to outflank and advance on two fronts, and finally converge with the Sultanate of Brunei, the largest country on the island, to attack the Sultan of Brunei on both sides, and it took more than ten days to completely conquer the Sultan of Brunei.

With such a good successful plan in front of him, why not use it, and after Guo Yu came up with this plan, the people in the staff department also felt that this plan did have its great advantages after careful consideration, and now that Nanhua has enough troops, it can completely implement this plan. After taking the entire island of Jia as much as possible, so that other countries did not react at all, they directly completed this big thing.

A few days later, Guo Yu met General Ludendorff, a man with a majestic face and short hair. The appearance has obvious Germanic characteristics, especially the two mustaches, with a special charm.

"Hello Guo Yu, on behalf of Wilhelm II and Field Marshal Hindenburg, I greet you, and at the same time bring the friendship of the German Empire, and hope that the two countries can have more cooperation." Ludendorff said after bowing down to Guo Yu.

"I also welcome General Ludendorff to South China, and I believe that the two countries will blossom into the most beautiful flowers of friendship after gradually deepening their understanding and strengthening cooperation." Guo Yu said.

Guo Yu motioned for Ludendorf to sit down, "Taste this tea." Pure Chinese black tea, top Keemun black tea. ”

"I also like to drink black tea, this tea tastes really good, your Chinese tea is the best tea in the world, and it can brew the most authentic black tea." Ludendorff said.

Well, sometimes the big guys just talk so boring.

After the two of them tasted tea for a while, Ludendorff took the lead and said, "Your Majesty Guo Yu, I'm here this time." The main hope is to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, especially in the field of weapons technology. Although Germany has always been ahead of the rest of the world in terms of military technology, we have spared no effort in the pursuit and introduction of new technologies. ”

"And in the Asian theater, your army has a very high combat effectiveness, especially the warships and aircraft, which are already ahead of the technological level of the rest of the world. We in Germany would like to cooperate with your country in this regard and make progress together. ”

"Hehe, General Ludendorff, you must know that now the war in Europe is in full swing, if we have technical cooperation with Germany. It will directly offend Britain, France, the United States and other countries, which is not a good idea for us in South China. Guo Yu smiled at Ludendorff.

"Choosing the winning side to make friends in advance is not what you Chinese people are most willing to do, you seem to call it early investment." Ludendorff said.

"General Ludendorff, do you think Germany will definitely win the final victory?" Guo Yu looked at Ludendorff with a playful look.

Ludendorff said with a stern expression, "Isn't it, now on the European battlefield, Germany has the initiative, Britain and France have done nothing, there has been turmoil in Russia, and the Eastern Front is unstable, even if the United States announced its entry into the war a few months ago, but what problem can this solve, the United States does not have many soldiers on the battlefield now." ”

Ludendorff is right, the current Germany, in terms of the overall situation, is indeed still on the favorable side, the German antique Lenin returned to the Russian Empire, disturbing the internal situation in Russia, it can be said that Germany has made a very good move. And on the battlefield, the German army was indeed superior to the Anglo-French army, so Ludendorff was indeed right when he said this.

But Guo Yu is a person who knows history, he knows that there are many problems in Germany now, and the biggest problem is that Germany is isolated, or surrounded, not to mention the help of any allies, those allies of Germany are not a powerful comparison, and it is good not to drag them down.

The German Navy has been suppressed in the Gulf and cannot get out, Germany has lost the ability to contact the outside world, especially the colonies, the lack of domestic materials, it is difficult to support the long-term war needs, the colony materials can not be transported in, Germany will fall into a state of lack of materials in the later stage, and has to take the posture of quick success and quick attack, and then there was a strong attack on the Western Front in 1918, the last five campaigns and offences did not achieve victory, the German army suffered heavy losses, lost 1 million soldiers, resulting in the exhaustion of the army source, In the end, it was unable to resist under the counteroffensive of the Entente and was finally defeated.

Guo Yu wants to cooperate with Germany, but he just wants Germany to be able to hold back Britain, France, the United States and other countries for a longer time, so that they can continue to struggle in this quagmire, so that Germany can support for a longer period of time.

Since they are cooperating and coming to South China to ask for technical support, they can't let Germany still have Guo Yu's idea of hugging his thighs, and they must beat their arrogance and confidence in order to take the initiative.

"General Ludendorff, my conclusion is the opposite, if Germany continues to fight like this, it will inevitably end the war with the defeat of Germany." Guo Yu directly pointed to the question, which made Ludendorff a little difficult to accept.

"General Ludendorff, don't be in a hurry, please listen to me." Ludendorff shut up stupidly.

"Germany's current ground forces have suppressed the enemy on the eastern and western fronts, from this point it can be seen that Germany's military quality is high, but Germany's biggest problem is also here, I don't need to talk about the situation of your allies, at most it can only play an auxiliary role, and the battlefield is still dominated by German soldiers, I'm not wrong."

"Germany's access to the sea was controlled by British warships, and the German navy did nothing, which in my opinion was Germany's biggest problem, and if it lost its sea supremacy, it was only a matter of time before Germany was already defeated."

"In the place of war, the most tactic that Germany should adopt is blitzkrieg, to occupy its own strategic objectives as quickly as possible, the biggest advantage of this is to save materials, but also to make the enemy have no chance to react, fighting a war of attrition is the worst outcome for Germany."

"And now Germany is in this situation, how many materials do Germany still have in the country, how many battles can it support, how long can it support the war, a year or two years, I think it will not be more than three years at most, and the Entente, they have the right to control the sea, they have the most colonies in the world to provide materials, and with the support of the United States, a war base, they will inevitably achieve the final victory."

"You must know that fighting a war is actually about strength, it is the foundation, who can hold out to the end, and Germany lacks this factor."

"Don't underestimate the United States, the United States has the most factories, the most workers, and the most available materials in the world, and their participation in the war will make the Entente countries not lack a single qiē, and even if the United States is only a logistics minister, it will let Britain and France continue to support it."

"General Ludendorff, do you still think that Germany will win?" Guo Yu looked at Ludendorff's not very good face and asked.

In fact, as the chief of staff of the military department, he has the best understanding of the domestic situation, and now Germany does have the problem of insufficient materials, but because the preliminary preparations are quite sufficient, coupled with domestic efforts, there has not been a major shortage of supplies, but now there are signs of such a situation.

If, as Guo Yu said, the war continues, Germany's supplies will become less and less, and in the end, there will be problems with the supply of troops, and Britain, France, the United States and other countries will indeed become bigger and more substantial, and Germany will really have a hard time at that time.

It's a dead knot, a dead knot that needs to be untied but is difficult to untie.

Ludendorff was silent for a while and said: "Guo Yu, maybe what I said just now is wrong, I apologize to you here, I want to ask how Germany can solve the problems that are about to arise." ”

"I don't know the current situation in Germany, but I have analyzed it in a strategic sense, and I can't do anything about it, so you Germany can only figure it out by yourself, but I think it's nothing more than these situations."

"First, let the navy open up the sea lanes and let the colonies' supplies go in, so that Germany will alleviate the problems that arise, your German colonies overseas account for the third largest in the world, and I think there is no problem in supporting a Germany."

After Guo Yu finished speaking, Ludendorff shook his head and said, "The Imperial Navy has no chance, and they are not willing to fight against the British Navy when there is no hope of victory. ”

"Then consider it by land, Germany has done a good job on the Eastern Front, the February Revolution broke out in the Russian Empire, although it was suppressed, but I think it is temporary, I think in a few months, Russia will make waves again, and at that time, Germany will directly eliminate a strong opponent, and Germany can also alleviate it."

Guo Yu knew that the October Revolution was about to break out, so he said firmly. (To be continued......)
