At this time, if the scientific and artistic circles petition together to let Germany and France end the bloody battle in Paris, so that they, especially the German army, have enough time to adjust, and quickly withdraw from the quagmire of Paris, it will be very beneficial to preserve their combat effectiveness, and it will also win a higher reputation for Yang Feng and Lin Luoke, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

It was indeed as Yang Feng had predicted, after the Chinese Emperor and Empress Xià joined the Curie couple's petition to defend Paris in their private capacity, the whole of Europe, including Germany and France, just like the original wave of the main war, quickly broke out again with a wave of large-scale opposition to the continuation of the war in Paris, and countless people ran to Bordeaux outside the French Provisional Presidency and Berlin's Charlotte Castle, begging the two heads of state to stop fighting in Paris and let this beautiful ancient city stop crying.

"Look, this is public opinion, a very easy thing to operate, as long as you can play, or as long as you can incite and do what you want them to do, remember, the common people are the best to deceive, as long as the method is right, they will be like puppets at your disposal, as a politician, you have to understand this." Emperor Yang proudly taught Ye Zi the way of fooling the people.

With the participation of his husband and wife, the weight of this petition was immediately different, and William, who had long been willing to withdraw from Paris, but had to hold on for the sake of face and the morale of the front-line generals, was the first to make a statement, if the French government agreed, then Germany was willing to make concessions in order to preserve Paris, which had left him countless good memories, and the German army could agree to achieve a partial ceasefire between the two sides in Paris. If the French government agreed, he could make further concessions, and the German and French troops withdrew from Paris at the same time. A radius of 30 kilometers from the Louvre is designated as a non-belligerent zone.

He is a smart man, so he naturally understands that Yang Feng is pulling him, and the French government also understands it, but they are exhausted by now, and if they continue to fight, Paris will be completely wiped off the ground, and there will be no Paris. The French really don't know what is left in their country, so let's just go down the slope!

Only the British government is the most unhappy, but the problem is in the face of surging public opinion throughout Europe and even in the UK. It's not easy for them to interfere, and since Yang Feng has spoken, and it is rare to pull his wife to speak together, then there is no need for the British government to be a villain in vain.

That's it. After a whole month and a half of bloody battles. The guns on both sides of the Seine subsided, and the French who survived the war began to come out of hiding to clean up the ruins of their homes, and then the German and French armies supervised each other's withdrawal from Paris in batches, but in order to avoid the other side using the city to transfer troops in the future, each kept a regiment in Paris for surveillance, especially the Germans completely blasted all the bridges on the Seine that could be repaired.

This incident made the prestige of Yang Feng and his wife in Europe skyrocket, and under the boast of People's Radio, European public opinion has even begun to call him the savior of Paris.

Of course, both sides withdrew from Paris. But it did not mean a truce, on the battlefields of France elsewhere. Still fighting to the death, after Moltke Jr. withdrew from Paris, he immediately divided a part of his forces to attack Reims, and the French army, which was already very difficult to block Hindenburg in Reims, had to retreat south to the south bank of the Marne, and the German Fifth Army and the second, third, fourth, and later joined the Tenth Army finally joined a whole, and advanced the battlefield all the way to the Marne.

After the French army withdrew from Paris, part of it strengthened to the east to the Marne defense line, but the main force made peace with the British army to the west and continued to attack the German troops along the Oise River, so that the situation on the French battlefield gradually stabilized, and the nine German armies formed a convex shape, and the five armies in the middle occupied a vast area from the Maas River to the Oise River, and always maintained pressure on the Marne line. On the right flank, more than a million Anglo-French troops attacked eastward in an attempt to cut off their salient, while the Fifth Army on the left flank Hindenburg and the Sixth and Seventh Army groups on the German-French border attacked the two French armies left there from both sides, and Verdun bore the brunt of the attack. If their side wins, then the Germans can drive south to attack the south of France, which is now extremely empty in defense, on the contrary, if the Anglo-French army on the right flank wins, then the entire center will basically be completely annihilated, and the German army will have to retreat to Belgium, or even to Germany.

At this time, the war in Europe finally spread beyond Europe, and the Russian Eleventh Army stationed on Luzon launched a simultaneous attack on the German colonies of Mindoro and Sama, and it was clear that Nikolai wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the German colony of the Philippines.

The German army has only two divisions of garrisons in its possession of the islands of Minduro, Sama, Wright, Cebu, Bohol, and Mindanao, one of which is stationed in Mindanao, and the other islands have very few garrisons, and the Russian army also has a large fleet in Manila, including more than 20 large and small warships, including two old diesel engine battleships, but the German Navy has only three old protective cruisers in Mindanao, and the strength of the two sides is not comparable at all, just like the German army on Minduro Island has only one regiment in total, It stands to reason that the Russian army can be destroyed with such a huge force, but to the surprise of all parties, the Russian army suffered a crushing defeat in the first landing battle!

"The first batch of Russian landing troops totaled a brigade, landed at Carapan with three landing ships and a group of requisitioned civilian ships, and they were not blocked during the landing, and the sea was protected by their battleships, and it was impossible for the Germans to fight with them, and then the Russian army thought that with the strength of the German army on the island, it was impossible to have the courage to fight them, and it would be even more impossible to fight after putting them on the island, so they all swaggered to receive villages and towns in batches, of course, mainly to loot.

Then their brigade, which was scattered into more than a dozen teams, was besieged by more than 40,000 enemies, and they were all the most frenzied sieges, and those Russian detachments with only a few hundred people at most, who didn't even bother to carry artillery, were drowned in the sea of people one after another in the blink of an eye. Ye Zi smiled and described to Yang Feng the defeat of the Russians on Mindoro Island.

"Didn't you say that the Germans had only one regiment?" Lin Luoke asked curiously.

"Yes, there is indeed only one regiment of German troops there, and this regiment is not even in the war, they are protecting the German expatriates from retreating to Mindanao, but there are more than half a million Tagalogs on that island, and almost half of them have fled from Luzon, and they would rather die than accept Russian rule again, so when the Germans left, they opened an arsenal and gave them all the weapons in stock.

The Tagalu people on the battlefield were crazy, even in the face of the Russians' machine guns, none of them flinched, and those who did not have guns even directly tied zha medicine to their bodies and then pounced among the Russians and died with them, not only men, but even women and children attacked the Russian army in the jungle with bows and arrows stained with poison. Ye Zi said with a smile.

In Yang Feng's view, there is nothing to be surprised about, the Russians slaughtered more than a million monkeys on Luzon in less than ten years, and the two sides had a blood feud, but the Germans ruled the monkeys relatively mildly, and even opened a university in Mindanao, and allowed the monkeys to exercise autonomy, even compared to the Spaniards, compared with the Chinese and Russian executioners, the German colonists were like angels in the eyes of the monkeys. Therefore, the Russian army attacked the German colonies, the most anxious was not William, but those monkeys, a large number of Luzon monkeys over the years, even if they risked being caught and scalped directly, they had to try their best to escape to the territory of the Germans, and many people even simply swam across the strait from Bada Yan with a plank, and now they want to let them return to a hellish life, they really dare to do their best.

In addition, the Russian army in Luzon was also abolished at this time, and on that island they lived a life of complete slave owners, and the Russian garrisons in some remote settlements even played the first night right on the monkeys.

The reason why William confidently and boldly lost the Philippine colony to the fox with two divisions was because the fox assured him that two divisions would be enough, because he could still arm at least two Filipino army groups, and the only thing missing was munitions.

But this is not a problem at all for the fox's mind, his solution is very simple, just buy it directly from Yang Feng, anyway, once the war starts in the Philippines, the rubber from the Philippines cannot be shipped back to Germany, and it can be shipped directly to China for arms, with his understanding of Yang Feng, knowing that such a good business The emperor will definitely be very happy, anyway, the Chinese colony of Panai Island and the German colony of Leyte Island are only separated by a few kilometers of seawater.

Yang Feng was of course happy to do such a good business, after receiving the telegram sent to him by the fox alone, Emperor Yang agreed without hesitation, of course, this kind of small work did not need him to care, as long as he nodded, the governor in Panai Island and the Chinese merchants there solved it themselves, bought rubber from the Germans, and the rubber money was directly used to order German-style munitions from the domestic arsenal, and then transported to Panai Island, which is Chinese territory, even if the Russians watched from the side, they also stared.

And the strait between Panay Island and Leyte Island is only a few kilometers, it can be said that it is China's territorial waters, the Russians want to stop it, as for how the Germans transport it to Leyte Island, this does not need to worry about the Chinese, although the fox has only three old protective cruisers in his hands, but there are dozens of high-speed torpedo boats, it is still easy to ambush Russian warships in the narrow channel between those islands.
