Chapter 614: Strange Victory! Meat grinder!

Although Adolf had not been here for a long time, as a German, he knew a little bit about the situation here.

Verdun belongs to the Maas department of France, named after the Maas River, and the upper reaches of the Maas River is the Champagne-Ardennes region, you will know when you hear this name, the specialty of this area is Champagne, and you can enjoy the usual wonderful champagne almost everywhere, so the food here is also very famous.

The French may not be very good, but when it comes to cooking, they are really good at cooking, and after Adolf came here, he didn't have a chance to taste any food, he ate military rations, and saw the tragic scenes of war!

There were stakes and barbed wire everywhere, bomb craters everywhere, charred black matter everywhere, and I don't know what it was......

All of this would have been very scary in normal times, and it was nothing compared to what Adolf saw today.

Thundered! Thundered!

There were constant explosions, and these explosions came from the Maas River and those bridges!

The city of Verdun was crossed by the Maas River, which was originally an island in the middle of the river, and the city was very small at that time, but it gradually developed to allow the Maas River to cross it.

The Maas River itself is a large river in France, in this section of the crossing Verdun, the narrowest point is 50 meters, and the city in order to connect with each other, of course, built a lot of bridges, fortunately, caught up with the industrial revolution, so the development is very rapid, and the bridges have been built a lot.

And the war has been fought to the present day, the entire defensive position of Verdun. That is to defend all of yourself, you know, Verdun's position at this time is a salient department, on the front of the Allies and the Entente, like an arrow. It made the German army very uncomfortable.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought here.

This time, after gathering more than 350,000 people, as well as so many artillery, so many vehicles, the Germans finally tore through the outer lines of Verdun, they rushed to the city, they crossed the bridge!

And now, the bridge has been blown up!

The timing of this bridge bombing was very clever. It's just unstoppable, even the master and apprentice who had been lying in the crater before, they all wanted to come out and rush over with the big army. Because you can't stay here all the time, you'll be discovered by your own people.

Right in front of Adolf's eyes, the bridges were broken, oh no!

There's a bridge there!

But that's just a bridge. It's simply ......

"It's over! We're done! "Marx. When Webb saw this, he collapsed directly on the ground.

"......" Adolf was also stupid.

Why?

Because of the large forces of the German army. It's almost all gone!

You know, everyone thought that we were going to take Verdun, because in the previous battle, under the ferocious attack of artillery, the Anglo-French army also put up a desperate resistance, on the east bank of the Maas. More than 10,000 corpses were left on both sides.

But in the end, the victory belonged to the Germans, so naturally, the Germans took advantage of the victory and pursued them, and they crossed the Maas River. And when crossing the river, it was not without careful inspection, and I felt that there was no problem, so I crossed the river.

And after crossing the river, it was a smooth road, the German army was advancing very fast, and the number of people crossing the river was also very large, everyone was scrambling, but now!

The bridge was blown up, and one was left!

"Look there!"

"Fire!"

"Kill those bastards!"

It turned out that the bridge was blown up, not because the Germans were careless, but because the Anglo-French forces left some death squads, which they blew up, and apparently these guys are not ready to continue to live.

In fact, blowing up the bridge is simply a technical job, not that you can have more explosives, but according to the structure of the bridge, and then bury explosives at key points, with very little explosives, so when the Germans crossed the bridge, they could not see anything unusual.

Only one bridge remains, so ......

"Let me pass!"

"Bastard! Get out of the way! ”

The Germans were not fools, and in terms of the quality of their personnel, most of them were relatively well educated, so they quickly reacted and had to go back from the bridge to the other side, so that it would be safe, because danger was likely to come soon......

Thundered! Thundered!

The shelling of the Anglo-French forces began!

"We're done, we're done!" Marx paralyzed on the ground. Webb was also looking at the other side, he had already thought of this situation, after all, he was a philosopher.

Marx. Weber may not know much about fighting, of course, but he understands knowledge, he knows the general thinking of people, this bridge is obviously left by the other side, that is, to let these German troops fight for this bridge, the German army itself will have no intention of fighting, they will fight with their own people, and then at this time the British and French forces will counterattack......

Weber didn't dare to think about this ending anymore, because according to the normal deduction, then it is likely that the German troops who charged in the front will be completely annihilated!

"Teacher......" Adolf naturally thought of this ending, he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.

"Lie down! Shoot with me! Webb had no choice but to pull his students down and start shooting into the sky as if they were actually fighting.

There's no way, if you hit the front, you might hit your own people, although Weber is greedy for life and afraid of death, but it's not so bad.

"Teacher......" Adolf still wanted to ask.

"At least we're alive." Webb gave this explanation......

Of course, except for Xia Fei, no one knows that this is the Chinese art of war, and this trick is simply to close the door and beat the dog, Henry. Roberts used the half-understood "Art of War" that he heard from his friends to carry out such a conspiracy according to the special terrain of Verdun.

In fact, it's not difficult, it's just to leave troops on the east bank of the river and tell them that everything is normal, and on the west bank of the river, an empty city plan was laid out, so that the Germans could come more, and then secretly organize death squads to blow up the bridge, and leave one, anyway, it is to talk more about national righteousness......

What if those Germans came over?

They are barbarians! They are evil!

These guys are half-orcs at all......

Well, that's right, the movie "The Lord of the Rings", Roberts has not watched less.

But, after all, it was the Germans, and they were not so idiots, and in the end they carried out a crazy counterattack, and their strength was still there.

On the day of the Battle of Verdun, more than 100,000 men were killed on both sides in one day, and this number became a ...... Oh, by the way, it would have been a record, but there was Zhuyu from the Battle of Tokyo in front of him, so the most tragic battle in Europe this time could only be ranked second.

The Germans lost more than 70,000 men in one day, and the Anglo-French side was also very miserable, but after all, the ruse succeeded.

And in this way......

"Here's your chance!"

Li Mengyang, who was in Washington, immediately made this judgment after getting the news, so ......

"Order MacArthur to go to Europe!"

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY!”

His Majesty the Great Emperor, Clint. Li I issued such an order, but however, this landing site, and this trade or something......

"Call the arms company, stop all the orders to the Allies."

“YES-YOUR-MAJESTY!”

It's still easy to talk about arms, in fact, before that, the British had sprayed the Pacific Empire countless times, and every day they scolded the Pacific Empire for being a profiteer and selling excellent weapons to those evil allies!

Well, we're going to do justice now, too.

In other words, after Li Mengyang flaunted justice, his whole person was different, his waist was not sore, his legs were not painful, and he could go up to more than ten floors in one breath...... The sixth floor is too small.

In addition, there is actually one more crucial ......

"Rockefeller, I have an important task for you, you must defend the oil fields of Romania, and from now on, Standard Oil will not continue to do business with the Allies......

You say it's hard?

I don't care! You must not do this! As for the method, then you can think about it. ……

Yes, you can arm the oil fields! ……”

Li Mengyang called Rockefeller in New York directly, saying that he wanted an oil embargo!

The telephone is already very popular in the New World, and Li Mengyang is still working hard in China, but to be honest, it's a little tired, because the telegraph has not yet been popularized, and this is about to be launched again, which is indeed a bit too much, but however, this is also a late-mover advantage.

And when it comes to this oil embargo, this matter is extremely critical, and even Li Mengyang feels that this is even more critical than the arms embargo!

At this time, there are already a lot of cars and various oil-consuming machines in the European battlefield, and the most sought-after thing in the arms market is the tank, and the British guys are more intelligent, they took the first step to take out their diamond-shaped quadrangular tank, so they seized the opportunity in the market.

But nothing, soon, the Pacific Empire came out with a tank that could hold a small cannon, this thing...... Of course, it's not 59, oh yes, it's 1883, how can this big killer weapon be used casually?

Well, in fact, the main thing is that it hasn't really worked out yet, and now it's just a model similar to the T34 with a much thinner barrel.

But it was exported, and it is said that it performed well, and it was used by both sides in the Battle of Verdun this time...... Well, both sides.

Well, all these things need to be oiled!

And in Europe, almost the only oil field, that is Romania...... (To be continued.) )
