Chapter 587: Dunkirk Landing!
On the French battlefield in Europe, no one thought that the Germans could break through Lille's defense line so quickly, no one expected that Foch would be defeated so quickly, and even said that the Kingdom of Belgium was broken through by Germany so quickly, all of which was too unexpected for everyone!
Then this leads directly to a huge passive situation!
The main force of the Anglo-French army, the one west of Lorraine in Alsace, was now in a state of encirclement.
"It's a mess! What can we do now? "Henry. Roberts was simply angry, he didn't expect the battle to change like this.
"How do I know what to do?" Xia Fei, this guy immediately shirked responsibility.
Yes, this responsibility is too great, and no one can carry it.
However, the current situation is very difficult to understand, and the most important thing is that it is too sudden, you know, the telegraph network between the countries of the European continent is already okay this year.
The reason why I say this is because the best telegraph network is the United States, which is the most aggressive, while Europe is actually relatively slow, and this is indeed the case, this is an economic problem.
But now we can't think about these economic problems, but at least everyone should have a telegraph connection, but this time there is such a big problem, this ......
"There must be Germans lurking in Belgium!" These were Xia Fei's words after he suddenly realized.
Obviously, there should be espionage, it seems that the German side is really fully prepared for this war, it is said that Xiao Mao Qi that guy has been studying the battle plan for a long time, and the time is no later than the French!
"We need countermeasures now!" Henry. Roberts didn't care what was lurking. He just wanted to know what to do now.
Judging by the map. Paris is actually in the north of France. When Lille and Amiens were lost, the French army should go all out to recover, after all, defending the capital is the most important thing, but now......
"Why don't we attack Alsace and Lorraine!" At this time, Xia Fei was a little whimsical.
"......" Henry simply rolled his eyes.
The current situation is very embarrassing, if the Anglo-French forces retreat, then the German defenders of Alsace and Lorraine will definitely catch up. Biting their butts hard, while not necessarily being killed by the opponent, is also very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the German army has passed Amiens, and this encirclement has really been formed, so the Anglo-French army will collide head-on with the main force of Germany, so it is still in the midst of encirclement!
The most likely outcome is that instead of being able to save Paris, they will put themselves in it.
That's the end of it. Lose all the games!
Obviously, this is what Xia Fei is afraid of. However, if you follow Xia Fei's move, that is, to move forward, it is also very dangerous, because this action must have been calculated by the German side.
In the current situation in France, any European officer can make such a judgment......
This is simply the Battle of Cannae of the year!
By the way, in this battle, Hannibal used his crescent-shaped formation to fight Rome without even the consuls.
The Anglo-French army was now in the position of the ancient Romans at that time, that is, the end was imminent.
So what about it......
Henry was racking his brains, he was thinking, thinking hard, this ......
Pregnant!
"We're here to stay!"
"What?"
Just here?
To be honest, it was a strange decision, but right now, it doesn't seem like there's a good way to do it......
"Great Your Majesty, after a detailed investigation in northern Italy and Switzerland, we have determined that on the second day of the assassination, there was a child who sought medical attention, and whether it was age or appearance, all aspects of the characteristics were similar to the fourth prince, but the other party was a child named Adolf, and the relevant supporting documents were relatively detailed, so it is difficult for us to make a judgment......
Just during the war in Europe, Li Mengyang, the emperor of the Pacific Empire, received a letter, the person who wrote the letter was not named, but of course Li Mengyang knew that it must be embarrassing. Stewart, that guy.
"Not bad!" After reading the letter, Li Mengyang was somewhat sure that his son was probably not dead, it must be like this!
Because, if this Adolf is not his own child, then is this Adolf also injured too coincidentally?
Yes, from the point of view of probability, this is an extremely unlikely event, and if we add in the hypothesis, that is, if this Adolf is his own son Li Dingguo, and this Adolf's name is incorrect, or there is another story, then ......
This is a high probability event!
Yes, it must be like this, his son was thrown out of the window of the train, of course he was injured, and then he may have been rescued by someone, and the other party didn't know George's name, so he had to fill in one casually, which is very possible!
But not ......
"Get out! Clint! Do you think I can believe such nonsense? If you don't get my George back, I'll be done with you! ”
Obviously, Eleanor didn't care about any probability, she was a mother at this time, a mother who desperately needed to see her son!
"......" Li Mengyang has no problem, he can fully understand Eleanor's heartache, at this time, he has no way to convince Eleanor with a rational explanation.
The key is that Li Mengyang is all based on reasoning, and there is no substantive evidence, hey~
However, Li Mengyang really insisted on one point, that is, his son did not die, and he should not die.
However, after this search for work......
The news from Stewart's side made it clear that there was a bottleneck in the search for work, and that was that Adolf could not be found.
I don't know why, I just can't find it anyway, it's strange, through the information of the Swiss hospital, they are checking, but when they find it, they can't check it, because it seems that there is no such person.
But however, the hospital said that the information is correct, so this matter is ......
It's really strange, but this makes Li Mengyang even more convinced that his son is not dead.
It should be said that the disappearance of Xiao Si and the whole incident provided Li Mengyang with an opportunity, that is, he could use this incident to intervene in this war.
You Italians have killed the prince of my Pacific Empire!
This matter is completely a kind of anger, but this is how the war itself began, Austria-Hungary just scolded the Italians for not being a thing, and then the Italians had a hard neck, and the two sides did it.
It should be said that just such an incident should not cause a big war, although Princess Sissi is very beautiful, but the interests of the country are important, and now that the fight has started, it means that the national interests now need everyone to fight!
And if it falls on Li Mengyang, then the interests of the country are asking him not to intervene in this war, at least not now, because this is not in line with the fundamental interests of the Pacific Empire.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and being able to do business, this is the best move, and ......
Didn't the aunt towel from before already be ready, and serve it...... Oh, this ......
Anyway, it was sold, and it sold quite well, and the cars of the Pacific Empire were also selling very well, and many countries in Europe found that this thing could be of great use.
It must be said that the Germans are now copied by other countries.
And in addition, that is that petroleum products are selling very well, very, very well!
Now that the war is fighting, it is already inseparable from oil, completely inseparable, and very early, Li Mengyang has already made a layout, and Standard Oil has taken control of Romania.
And now, the war has begun, and Standard Oil has immediately given the Romanian puppet government an idea, well, that so-called government is actually quite obedient.
Neutrality!
Romania is neutral, and the subtext is, you fight, I sell oil here, and whoever of you pays more money will have the oil.
The CEO of Standard Oil is Rockefeller, this guy usually doesn't talk much, the whole person is completely a gentleman, and his style of acting is completely different from his liar dad, Rockefeller is really a decent gentleman.
However, a righteous gentleman is sometimes quite ruthless in making money......
The current war is definitely a good thing for the Pacific Empire, and Li Mengyang is completely sure that as the war develops, we will have more goods into Europe.
However, in terms of the current battle situation, it is still a little speechless.
Germany has already punched France in the heart with a right hook, how can the Anglo-French coalition deal with it?
You must know that if this war ends quickly, then the interests of Li Mengyang's side will be much smaller, and if France is killed soon, then there will be fun.
But fortunately, after more than a month of the Battle of the Marne, that is, when Lieffen was about to enter Paris with his troops, the British moved!
Bang! Bang!
The port of Dunkirk in northern France, which was under heavy artillery fire at this time, was originally a small port, but now there are at least dozens of British warships gathered here, and everyone is firing frantically.
The power of the naval cannon is quite terrifying, that shell is close to a ton, and it is a big pit the moment it hits the ground!
"Soldiers! Advance! ”
Whining...... Whining......
Knock knock knock......
Under the cover of artillery fire, small boats came to land, and the British army behaved as it did more than a hundred years ago, and they had to follow the march with a little bit, with music, bagpipes, and drums.
"Lord Roberts! We've done taking control of the beach! ”
"Lord Roberts! Our troops are advancing at a rapid pace! ”
On the beach of Dunkirk, a very well-dressed old general was playing his military cap. Roberts.
"Let's go! Let's go kick the Germans in the ass! (To be continued.) )

In addition, Soros has already said publicly that he has shorted U.S. stocks, so Heiche hopes that everyone will not be impulsive.
