The spring offensive of the French was completely disintegrated, and after losing 100,000 men they had nothing, and the Germans achieved a perfect victory on the Western Front.

And before that, there were also changes on the Eastern Front that would have a serious impact on the entire war.

On March 8, 1917, February 23 in the Russian calendar, about 130,000 male and female workers in 50 factories in Petrograd went on strike and marched, kicking off the February Revolution. The next day, the number of Russians participating in the strike demonstration increased to 500,000.

Immediately, a great uprising broke out!

Tsar Nicholas II gave the order for repression, however, tens of thousands of soldiers openly sided with the revolution. Together with the insurrectionary workers, they seized the Winter Palace, the Tsar's lair, and government ministries, and arrested the Tsar's ministers and generals. The uprising in the capital was completely victorious. Nicholas II was not reconciled to his defeat and immediately transferred troops from the front in an attempt to recapture the capital, but the tsarist army also mutinied under the influence of the revolution. Seeing that the tide was turning, Nicholas II was forced to retire on March 15, 1917, in favor of his brother Mikhail. The next day, Mikhail also announced his abdication. In this way, the Romanov dynasty, which had ruled Russia for 304 years, was overwhelmed by the February Revolution.

After the February Revolution, Russia saw the coexistence of two regimes, a bourgeois Provisional Government and the Soviets, rarely seen in history.

The situation in the world has changed significantly, but the Russian Provisional Government is still attacking the German army

Wang Weiyi knows very well and quickly. Another revolution in Russia will come, and that will be a real terrible storm

The German military knows very well that although the Russian army is still trying to attack. But their offensive had been greatly weakened, especially since the fierce power struggle between the two regimes in Russia had made it impossible for them to concentrate all their energies on the front.

The pressure on the Germans on the Eastern Front was greatly reduced, and now they could concentrate on the Western Front

The spring offensive launched by the French continued to make Ernst. The undefeated prestige of Lieutenant Colonel Braham and the Skeleton Commando under his command is still alive and well.

From Tsenoch to Langl. In total, the skeleton commandos killed and wounded more than 3,700 French soldiers, and the number of prisoners reached 5,200, most of whom were captured in Laner.

This is an amazing feat!

A skeleton commando. The number of enemies killed, wounded, and captured turned out to be close to 10,000!

Baron Skeleton – Hooray! Skeleton Commando – Long live! In the German army, such slogans have already begun to be shouted.

However, the limelight was not completely stolen by the Skeleton Baron, and in the sky, there was also one person who established his own brilliant feats:

The Red Baron – Manfred. Feng. Richthofen!

The whole sky was completely under the control of the Red Baron and the Luftwaffe. The sky was full of invincible German aircraft. Manfred shot down four enemy planes in one day on the 29th. This is his personal best record in a single day. The British called it "Bloody April", and the British Air Force lost 912 pilots and scouts in this month! During this period, 21 aircraft were counted in Manfred's account, and since then the "Red Baron" has been famous all over the world. His record continued to grow, and after his 41st victory, Manfred was ordered to move away from the front, along with his brother Roth, who was also a top pilot. Richthofen took over the command of the hunting squadron.

The Germans were counterattacking one after another, and the scale was not very large, after all, they were also exhausted after a whole month of fighting. The biggest takeaway, though. In addition to repelling the enemy's attack, the Germans occupied the vital point of Land. This also laid a solid foundation for a greater counterattack in the future

In this battle, the losses of the skeleton commandos were also quite huge, but Feng . Galwitz has made good on his promise, and he has given the order, regardless of Ernst. Whatever Lieutenant Colonel Bram needs, he will give them priority.

All the surviving members of the Iron Cross have received one, and many have been promoted, but it is Wang Weiyi, what kind of reward should be given to him to be in line with his combat exploits? This made the German military very nervous.

Wang Weiyi didn't pay attention to this, for him, the entire Skull Commando, and the squadron commanded by Richthofen, their battle was over for the time being, and the vacation began.

More than a month of vacation is enough for them to make good use of it

Rommel went to accompany his new wife, and after not being by her side for so long, there was always some guilt in his heart. Manstein returned to Berlin, and Guderian and the rest of the team were also on vacation. As for Richthofen, apart from fighting, he was most interested in attending banquets and hunting, and he was busy in those days back to Berlin.

Only Wang Weiyi and Elena remained.

Elena invited Wang Weiyi to his home as a guest, and Wang Weiyi originally agreed, but some small things interrupted the plan:

Xiao Ling gave a new direction.

With the end of the battle of Reims-Soisson, the self-transformation and upgrading of the Purple Light Military Base has surprisingly risen to 35%, which is a speed that even Xiao Ling can't believe.

According to the current progress, there are several more major tasks, and the self-transformation and upgrading of the military base will be complete.

"Rambler" Wang Weiyi also received new fire support, and because he completed the task faster and faster, and his feats became greater and greater, the fire support he received became more abundant

But these are not the point, the point is that Xiao Ling told Wang Weiyi one thing: under her continuous search, the second "Y" element has some uncertain whereabouts.

"Really?" When he heard the whereabouts of the second "Y" element, Wang Weiyi's spirit suddenly became invigorated.

"Yes, during this time I was there almost 24 hours a day, and by chance I found something interesting in May 1917, when a robbery occurred in a predominantly foreigner-inhabited ghetto near the Paris train station, and the murderers were quickly caught, two young Russians. According to the interrogation, they confessed that they did it, but they robbed the wrong target"

Xiao Ling's words aroused Wang Weiyi's great curiosity, and he listened carefully to what Xiao Ling said:

"Their original target of the robbery was an old Russian, and by a very chance, they learned that the Russian had a gem in his hand, which aroused their greed, but because they did it at night, and they panicked, they did not find out that they had entered the wrong room, and the victim found them and shouted loudly, and as a result, they brutally killed each other."

"Russians? Jewel? Wang Weiyi frowned: "What about the old Russian?" ”

"He's missing, and according to what I was able to find, it says the police then went to the slum to look for him, but they couldn't find him. France is now most concerned about the outcome of the war, not about any robbery and murder, not to mention that the target is foreigners, and the murderer has also been caught? Therefore, the French police did not pursue it further."

Wang Weiyi probably understood: "You mean that the Russian is Zakhvoki, the servant of Count Yevgeny?" ”

"I'm just guessing what, Rambler." Xiao Ling's answer was not particularly positive: "Maybe it's just some coincidence, but we must not give up any possibility, if we can find the second 'Y' element, our return will be much smoother." Ramblers, go to Paris. Of course, I'll inject you with some medicine before that to avoid radiation damage from the real 'Y' if you find it."

"The robbery in May 1917 and the disappearance of the Russian, then I am very short on time, and I hope I have good luck that the robbery has not happened yet." Wang Weiyi smiled.

In fact, he is not as eager to go back as he has just come to this era, and he knows that it is useless for him to be anxious about these things.

It doesn't matter if the "Y" element can be taken home with you or not, no matter what era you come in, as long as the fire in your heart is not extinguished, there is hope of going home

"Ernst."

After leaving the military base, Elena, who was looking everywhere, finally saw Wang Weiyi: "Hey, where have you been?" I'm looking for you everywhere. ”

"Ah, I just spun around." Wang Weiyi disguised his words.

"Manfred, they're all gone, the car that General Galvetz arranged specifically for them." Elina said expectantly, "What about you?" Would you like to accept my invitation to visit my home in Berlin? ”

Wang Weiyi blinked his eyes: "Elena, I have a better proposal, how about we go to Paris for a vacation?" ”

"What? Going to Paris? Elena's big beautiful eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "That's the enemy's place!" ”

"So what?" Wang Weiyi shrugged: "I promised you that I would take you to Reims when I had the opportunity in the future, but now I can take you to Paris first, it is a beautiful place." ”

After being convinced that Ernst was not joking, Elena suddenly became excited: "Great, Ernst, I wanted to go to Paris a long time ago. Ah, are we going to talk to them? ”

"Ah, not necessarily." Wang Weiyi hurriedly said: "They won't allow us to risk so much to Paris." Without notice, we quietly left here in the afternoon. ”

It's a wonderful thing to be with Ernst, Elena thought to herself, he can always surprise you when you don't expect it.

Of course, what excites Elena even more is that she can finally be alone with Ernst. (To be continued.) )
