Panama, which is weak, is no match for Colombia, especially after receiving help from China. Although the squadron did not directly attack the Panamanian army, the squadron provided intelligence and logistical support to the Colombian army, and even the Chinese navy sent a transport ship to transport a division of Colombian troops directly to the Panama Canal, from which the canal zone launched a direct attack on Panama City. Under such an offensive, in just one month, Panama was destroyed.

Colombian President Carlos Eugenio Restrepo officially announced to the world that Panama will be reincorporated into Colombia as a province of Colombia. The Panadian President Ma Roxa Enspeña fled to the United States with some members of the government, formed a government-in-exile with the support of the U.S. government, and called on Panamanians to rise up against the Colombian invasion. Many Panamanians have taken up arms and fought Colombian troops in the rainforest. However, Colombia, with the support of China, was not something that these Panamanians could resist, and eventually, these Panamanians came out of the rainforest and surrendered to the Colombian government forces.

Colombia's declaration of war on the United States caused an uproar in the American region. This is the first American country to declare war on the United States, and although many countries hate the United States, given the great strength of the United States, no one dares to bet lightly until the war situation is clear. And Colombia's declaration of war really shocked everyone. The U.S. retaliation against Colombia not only did not scare the Colombians, but strengthened their determination to fight the United States to the end. After the reconquest of Panama. Colombia sent two divisions of troops to Mexico to fight with the squadron. Although, the combat power of these two divisions is limited, and they do not play much role on the battlefield. But this undoubtedly shows Colombia's determination, and it is this kind of statement that makes the Chinese side very satisfied, and it also deliberately supports Colombia. For example, a lot of military supplies that the squadron needs on the battlefield, if Colombia can provide it, try to purchase it in Colombia. On the one hand. On the other hand, it has also accelerated the development of Colombia and completely tied Colombia to China's chariot!

The world war has developed to the present, and two battlefields have been formed. A European battlefield for the Allies and the Allies. The other is the American battlefield between China and the United States. However, in terms of the scale of the war, the number of troops invested by both sides, and the number of casualties, the European theater was much larger than the American theater. It has been four months since the war began, and both the Central and Entente powers have almost completed their mobilization for war. In Europe, more than 15 million troops on both sides are fighting on the battlefield. Every moment someone loses their life on the battlefield. In the Americas, however, the fighting was mainly confined to Mexico, with a focus on the area around Acapulco in southwestern Mexico. China is constantly bringing reinforcements here by sea. There were also mercenaries from Japan and North Korea. Due to the limitation of maritime capacity, China is not yet able to launch a large-scale offensive against the US military. However, once the squadron is ready, a large-scale battle will inevitably break out in Mexico. The U.S. side has also seen such a shape. It also continued to send troops to Mexico, eventually bringing the number of U.S. troops in Mexico to more than two million. And Admiral John Pershing also became the general who commanded the most American troops.

European theater. It is still the main battlefield of the world war, although the alliance formed by Germany and Austria-Hungary still occupies an absolute advantage on the battlefield, whether it is the British and French forces or the Russian army, they have been defeated by them and paid a heavy price. Especially the Russian army, which has already lost millions of troops on the battlefield. But even with such a heavy victory, the Entente had no thought of capitulation. After the mobilization had been completed, the Entente and Germany and Austria fought desperately on the eastern and western fronts in Europe, and they had almost exhausted themselves.

And since the beginning of the war, the German army, which has been invincible, has also begun to run into trouble. At the beginning of the war, the German army relied on a rapid mobilization system to complete the mobilization first, and the French army and the British expeditionary force fought on the battlefield suffered heavy losses. However, after the failure of the attack on Paris, the German attack gradually showed its decline. The Anglo-French forces were even able to launch a counterattack on the battlefield, although they were eventually crushed by the Germans, but this began to show bad signs. The battlefield advantage of the German army has slowly weakened, and four months after the start of the war, the German attack power has begun to decline!

There were many reasons for this, and the initial plan of the German army was mainly formulated with the goal of defeating France quickly, but Moltke Jr. modified the Schlieffen plan, which made the attack on Paris a failure. The inability to capture Paris would have forced France to withdraw from the fighting, and Germany was inevitably locked in a protracted war. In addition, the drag of the allies made it necessary for the German army to withdraw troops from the Western Front and replenish them to the Eastern Front, otherwise the Russian army would have invaded the territory of Austria-Hungary. The Austrian army was so weak that even the outdated Russian army could not be defeated, but suffered heavy losses in a series of battles, and if the Germans had not arrived in time to launch a counterattack against the Russian army, the Russian army would have entered the territory of Austria-Hungary. Italy, Germany's other ally, is still on the wall, trying to sit on the hill and watch the tiger fight, so that Germany and Austria-Hungary will have to deal with Britain, France and Russia. And, judging from the recent shapes, the signs of Italy's fall to the Entente have become more and more obvious, which has put a lot of pressure on both Germany and Austria-Hungary. The most important point is that after the start of the war, the British Royal Navy has blockaded the North Sea, Germany's overseas lines of communication have been cut off, and all German-flagged merchant ships have been intercepted or sunk. This put Germany under great pressure on strategic materiel. Had it not been for the iron mines of Alsace and Lorraine, Germany's situation would have been even more precarious. Although China transfuses blood to Germany on the Tongguò-Baghdad Railway, it is limited by the capacity of the Baghdad Railway, and China can only provide Germany with tens of thousands of tons of supplies every month, most of which are rare metals. It's just that, compared to Germany's consumption on the battlefield, this material is a drop in the bucket. In addition, China is also transporting mineral resources to Germany by sea, and at first, the British Royal Navy did not obstruct it, but with the war between China and the United States, China and Britain have declared war on each other, and the signs of British interception of Chinese merchant ships are already very obvious. All this will further reduce Germany's war potential. Germany's opponents, Britain and France, were able to obtain supplies through their vast overseas colonies, which gradually reversed the strength of both sides!

On November 22, 1911, four months after the start of the war, Kaiser Wilhelm II summoned important German ministers at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam to discuss the situation facing Germany.

Kaiser Wilhelm II sat on a sofa, Crown Prince Wilhelm stood respectfully beside him. German Prime Minister Theobard von Batemann Holwig, Chief of the General Staff Falkenhain, Minister of the Navy Tirpitz, Commanders of the High Seas Fleet Heining von Holdendorff and Prince Heinrich sat on the sofas on either side.

Kaiser Wilhelm II frowned, and his face no longer saw the vigor of the beginning of the war. Four months after the war began, Germany did not defeat France as quickly as he expected, and then won the whole war, but began to gradually lose its advantage, which made him feel very disappointed. And Moltke Jr., the chief of the German General Staff, was dismissed from his post because of this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is already very clear about the shape of the battlefield now. Is there any way to get the empire through its current crisis? Kaiser Wilhelm II looked at the crowd and asked.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff is already working up a new battle plan, and we are preparing to launch a major campaign at Artois and Shambani, to break through the French defenses in northeastern France, to annihilate the living forces of the French army and the British Expeditionary Force, and to march on Paris once more. In this battle, we are preparing to travel eastward with 60 divisions and an army of 1 million people. If we win, Paris will once again be under our wing! Said the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Falkenhayn.

"So, when will this campaign begin?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, the troops on the front line are already very tired, the consumption of war materials is also very large, and winter has come, and the current climate is no longer suitable for launching large-scale operations. The General Staff expects that the campaign will begin to be implemented next spring, and we can use the winter time to mobilize troops and raise strategic supplies! Falkenhayn said.

Kaiser Wilhelm II nodded, he no longer had much confidence in defeating the enemy quickly. At the same time, he also knew that after entering the winter, it was not suitable for fighting in the ice and snow. However, Germany can use winter to prepare for war, and Britain and France will certainly use winter to prepare for war. Britain and France, supported by overseas colonies, must have been much better prepared for war than Germany. At that time, will the Germans still be able to defeat the Anglo-French forces? Kaiser Wilhelm II could not guarantee that the thought of this problem gave him a great headache.

"How long will our reserves of strategic materials be used?" Wilhelm II asked!
