In February 1917, the last thing Wang Weiyi wanted to see happened.

German Foreign Minister Alfred . Zimmerman hatched an unusual plan to involve Mexico and Japan in the war against the United States.

At the outbreak of war, British naval intelligence installed bugs on all submarine cables across the Atlantic. On 19 January, the listener intercepted what appeared to be a diplomatic communication in German code. The British cipher gave the translated letter, signed by Zimmerman, to the head of naval intelligence, William Brown. Admiral Hall. After Hall read it, he put it aside for the time being. He knew that Berlin had sent a secret order to the German naval commanders on 10 January, ordering them to begin unrestricted submarine warfare on 1 February, and that the idea of timing led him to order Zimmermann's telegram to be withheld until the United States felt the full impact of the order. On February 23, the letter was delivered to Washington.

Zimmerman's letter was addressed to the German minister in Mexico, ordering him to seek the Mexican government as an anti-American military ally if the United States refused to accept unrestricted submarine warfare. In addition to the promise of generous financial assistance, the states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona were promised to be returned to Mexico. To strengthen this alliance, the Mexican president was asked to induce Japan to abandon the Entente and attack the United States.

It is not surprising that many U.S. officials initially suspected that it was a hoax. But after a closer examination of the original coded telegram, it was concluded that it was genuine. The German foreign minister's recognition of Mexico as a military ally surprised Washington. Because that country has been torn apart by the revolution and is teetering on the brink of chaos.

Zimmerman's letter was published by the Associated Press on March 1 and made headlines around the world.

Before the United States regained its composure from these two directives—Unrestricted Submarine Warfare and Zimmermann's Conspiracy—Germany had taken action that led directly to war

On April 6, 1916, the United States declared war on Germany!

The United States finally joined the war

Encouraged by this news, in April 1917, the French army launched the "Spring Offensive". Engage the Germans in the Reims-Soissons area!

The hardest time for Germany has come

Sooner or later, the United States will enter the war, and this news does not cause any surprise to Wang Weiyi at all. Germany did do a stupid thing, at the top – including Kaiser Wilhelm II. did not accept the opinions of Wang Weiyi and Nikolai.

Now, it's too late to regret it

Wang Weiyi, who was a little helpless, could only focus on the battlefield

April 7, the day after the United States declared war on Germany. The French army launched a large-scale offensive.

And the pride of Germany. The Skeleton Commando, the ace of the Wehrmacht, was placed at the forefront!

Wang Weiyi received an order to hold the Cinoshi position under the cover of the troops on both flanks.

The French attack was overwhelming, but under the cover of artillery fire and tanks, the skeleton commandos stubbornly and calmly held their positions, and never let the French army move forward.

On the 7th, the French left more than 800 corpses in front of the Tsenochi position

They are facing the most elite journey of the German army: the Skeleton Commandos! A unit with light and heavy machine guns, mortars and tanks.

On the battlefield, the dazzling skeleton battle flag was always fluttering in the wind. This battle flag constantly stimulates the hearts of the French.

Until the 8th. The French finally figured out that the enemy opposite them was the army of the Germans who had made a big fuss at Reims!

El. General Raffarin has met his old adversary who has brought him to shame!

Those damn Germans, making a big fuss about Reims, almost made themselves lose face, especially von . General Killok was re-kidnapped by them, much to the harshest reprimand given by the exasperated French military higher-ups.

Thankfully, the French, in order to cover up their incompetence, did not publicize the incident, but announced to their own people that they had successfully "defended" Reims by sabotaging a German spy organization.

And all this is exactly what El. General Raffarin, Colonel Gustav, and Major de Sade of the Intelligence Service

General Raffarin was awarded the Order of Merit, Colonel Gustav was promoted to brigadier general, and Major de Sade was promoted to lieutenant colonel

After suffering such a big loss, these defeated generals were actually rewarded and promoted, and I am afraid that only the French can do such a thing.

But what's the inside story? These French people know it all in their hearts

Now they have to face that hateful Ernst again. Bream, if they fail again, I'm afraid that the military top brass will not be able to continue to keep them.

"Brigadier General Gustav, it's up to you now." Elle, who was pale. General Raffarin looked at Gustav, who was already in command of the 79th Infantry Brigade of the French Army, and said: "The enemy is showing off his might there, take your troops, go and defeat them!" I will take all the artillery fire that can be mobilized and aim it at the positions of the sub-Noshi, and you will attack after the shelling! Gotta pull that damn skull banner down for me! ”

"Yes, General!" Gustav exclaimed: "I will take Ernst. Bream brings it to you! ”

His heart was also devoted to Ernst. Bram was so resentful that he had brought this man back to Lance himself, and now he had become the laughing stock of those who knew the truth

Damn the skull banner, damn the skull baron

"This is the best era, but also the worst era" Wang Weiyi flipped through the book "A Tale of Two Cities" in his hand, and read this paragraph softly in his mouth.

The soldiers were bored in their positions, Steck and Boncrere were chatting about something, Sean was wiping his guns, Adolf. Hitler was still writing his diary there as always.

Wang Weiyi can't quite understand what is written in "A Tale of Two Cities", why would anyone be willing to impersonate and die for their rivals, which is simply unreasonable.

"Carden is such a fool" Wang Weiyi threw "A Tale of Two Cities" aside, muttering something in his mouth.

Elena, who had come to him, picked up the book, and it was the second time she had seen anyone reading it, the previous time it was Beamon, and it was the same book he had seen when he died.

"Carden is not a fool." Elena smiled and put the book aside: "He couldn't get Lucy, but he didn't want to see his loved one suffer, so he didn't hesitate to replace the damned Darley and went to the gallows"

"Well, you're right." Wang Weiyi will never argue with women about love: "How is the situation? ”

Elena straightened her face: "Nicholas has accurate information from the French, we are directly facing the elite 79th Infantry Brigade of the French army, do you know who their commander is?" ”

Wang Weiyi shook his head, and Elena immediately smiled and said, "It's your old friend, Colonel Gustav, you have to call him Brigadier General Gustav." ”

Wang Weiyi was dumbfounded when he heard this, what is going on? The defeat of Reims instead made Gustav a brigadier general?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what was going on, shook his head, and shouted: "Fritz, do you remember Gustav?" ”

Manstein will never forget Gustav in his life, this damn big fat man, who rode him for such a long distance!

Ah, and the damned, shameless Ernst. Brahm!

Manstein glanced at Wang Weiyi, who was very disdainful

"Cinoshi is the choke point, which connects our left and right flanks, and once it breaks through, the enemy can drive straight into it with impunity." Wang Weiyi straightened his expression and called several of his captains to his side: "And when we decide to counterattack, this will also become the first line of counterattack, so the French will definitely seize it at any cost." ”

"Let them come, our machine guns and mortars will teach the French a lesson." Guderian said with confidence.

After realigning the tasks of the deployed detachments, Adolf. Hitler hurriedly ran over: "Lieutenant Colonel, the French are in the process of being assembled. ”

"Alright, officers, let's put on a good show for the French!" Wang Weiyi clapped his hands: "All for Germany!" ”

"All for Germany!"

On April 8, 1917, after thorough preparations, the French army mobilized the elite 79th Infantry Brigade and launched a new offensive against Zinoshi under the cover of artillery fire.

Elite against elite!

Artillery fire frantically covered the positions of the skeleton commandos, as if they wanted to flatten them to the ground in one fell swoop. The shells kept falling on the position, and waves of air continued to rise.

The commandos took refuge in the trenches, listening to the shells fly over their heads and land outside the position.

The machine guns were already waiting there, just waiting for the French to attack.

On the other side of the position, Gustav lowered his binoculars, he was very satisfied with the results of this shelling, it seems that the Germans should have fled a long time ago under such shelling, right?

There is no unit that is not afraid of shelling, Gustav thought with the inherent thinking of a French soldier.

"General, the troops are ready to charge."

The words of his subordinates made Gustav tidy up his uniform, and he had to show his majesty in front of his subordinates: "Order, all troops go on the offensive, and today the German positions must be recaptured!" ”

A sharp whistle sounded. (To be continued.) )
