Winter has entered the empire in December, and the weather has become very cold in many places except in the south. Of course, the common people of the empire were jubilant. Although the war has been going on for nearly half a year, it has not had much impact on the people of the empire. The lives of the common people of the empire were still prosperous and not affected much.

On the other hand, the Empire's successive victories on various battlefields have further inspired the common people of the Empire. For example, in the Indian battlefield, the Imperial Army had already defeated the British, and the whole of India was under the control of the Empire. India is moving towards an imperial plan. The future emperor of India will be succeeded by an imperial emperor, and Indian society will be made up of 200 princely states, large and small. It will become the largest market outside of the empire itself. The docile Indians will provide the empire with great wealth.

On the Russian battlefield, large-scale wars have long been stopped. The armies of both sides confronted each other across the Ural Mountains, and apart from occasional skirmishes between reconnaissance units from both sides, the entire Western Siberian Plain was calm. In the last war, the Imperial Army had wiped out a million Russian Army, making the Imperial Army have achieved absolute superiority in the Sino-Russian battlefield. Although Russia is arming its army on a large scale, the Empire will launch an even more fierce attack on Russia after the coming year.

"Your Majesty, a telegram from the American battlefield. At present, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army, the 11th Army and the Spanish Army have combined to eliminate more than 1.1 million American troops. Although there are still 700,000 troops left in the U.S. Army, there is no way to turn it over for the imperial army. Wait until winter passes. The Imperial Army will attack again. At that time, the Imperial Army will be able to destroy the United States in one fell swoop! General Sun Hao, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, said with a smile. Because the progress of the front line is smooth. It made his whole mood feel a lot better.

"Well, it seems that the Empire has won in all three major battlefields. The Indian battlefield is over. The Russian and American battlefields also won decisive victories, and the Empire had completely gained the upper hand in this war! Long Yufei is also in a good mood.

Originally, he thought that this war was a protracted war. After all, the opponents of the empire are too strong. If you want to win, it won't be that easy. But unexpectedly, those enemies were nothing more than paper tigers that were powerful on the surface, and they could be pierced with just a slight stab. In this way, the victory of the Empire in the war is just around the corner.

After the end of this war. Most of Europe belonged to the Empire, and North America would also become Empire. The empire's territory and sphere of influence will be further expanded. The power of the entire empire will rise to the top. The empire will become the undisputed world hegemon after the war.

"What about the war situation in Europe? What's going on now? Long Yufei asked. Although, the Imperial Army was victorious in the other three theaters. However, on the European battlefield, the Eurasian military alliance is still at a disadvantage. And, under the massive counterattack launched by Britain and France, the allies of the empire suffered heavy losses. This makes the empire probably have to adjust its deployment.

"Your Majesty, the war situation in Europe is very unfavorable for the Alliance. In the counterattack of Britain and France, our allies lost a lot. Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium, has fallen. The army of the Kingdom of Belgium suffered even more heavy losses. Now, King Leopold I of Belgium has retreated to Antwerp to continue to resist the attack of the Anglo-French forces. However, the army of the Kingdom of Belgium was left with less than 200,000 men. The Kingdom of Prussia supported the 300,000 troops of the Kingdom of Belgium. There are just over 100,000 people left. The Anglo-French forces in the Kingdom of Belgium have a decisive advantage! General Liu Zhongming, the head of operations, said with a stern face.

Long Yufei nodded, the Kingdom of Belgium was able to hold on to this point. It was already a bit beyond his expectations. Originally, the Kingdom of Belgium was such a small country. He had expected to be the first to be destroyed in the war. However, I didn't expect the Kingdom of Belgium to hold out for so long. Even now the losses are heavy. Even the capital was occupied by the Anglo-French forces. However, the Kingdom of Belgium did not give up its resistance.

"His Majesty, the King and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Belgium, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, have repeatedly appealed to the Empire for help. They had concentrated all the forces of the whole country to fight back against the Anglo-French forces. However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, which made it difficult for the Kingdom of Belgium to defeat their opponents. If we don't help them, the Kingdom of Belgium will most likely perish! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

"However, the Navy cannot gain naval supremacy in the North Atlantic, and it is impossible for us to transport the Army to the Kingdom of Belgium." Long Yufei said.

By December, four of the British Navy's 'Admiral-class' battleships had entered service, bringing the total number of British Navy's battleships to 12. Although it was not yet comparable to the Imperial Navy, the British Navy was already strong enough to defend the English Channel and the North Sea. It was almost impossible for the Empire to provide direct reinforcements to the Kingdom of Belgium through the English Channel.

"What about the Kingdom of Prussia? Their mobilization is almost complete. Ask the Kingdom of Prussia if they can provide further reinforcements to the Kingdom of Belgium. Long Yufei asked. Now, the only thing left to provide direct support to the Kingdom of Belgium is the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has been in contact with the Kingdom of Prussia. However, the Kingdom of Prussia, on the grounds that the main forces were at war with Austria-Hungary, rejected our offer! Admiral Sun Hao said.

"What? Could it be that Austria-Hungary would really cause trouble for the Kingdom of Prussia? Long Yufei wouldn't believe it. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, though powerful, was in fact nothing more than a giant with feet of clay. There were hundreds of nationalities, which made the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire very chaotic. Especially in the Austro-Hungarian army, there were often cases where soldiers simply did not understand what the officers were saying. If it weren't for the support of the two main powers, the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary, perhaps the Austro-Hungarian Empire would have collapsed long ago.

"Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, the Kingdom of Prussia has dispatched only one and a half million men in the battle against Austria-Hungary. And, on the battlefield in southern Germany, they had already won. The entire southern German states, having lost the war, had submitted to the Kingdom of Prussia. Now the army of the Kingdom of Prussia has invaded the territory of Austria-Hungary. The Austro-Hungarian army could not withstand the attack of the Kingdom of Prussia at all. The Kingdom of Prussia could have drawn a part of its army to the Kingdom of Belgium. General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

No one is stupid, everyone knows that this is the layout of the Kingdom of Prussia for the benefit of the post-war period. With the powerful mobilization system of the Kingdom of Prussia, they had already mobilized more than 2.5 million troops. After deducting the troops that had been deployed to the war against Austria-Hungary and the troops that had been sent to the Kingdom of Belgium in advance, the Kingdom of Prussia still had 700,000 men in its territory. In the case that Russia has been dragged down by the Chinese Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia only needs to deploy 200,000 troops on the Eastern Front to defend Russia, and the rest of the troops can be put into the battlefield on the Western Front. In addition, the mobilization of the Kingdom of Prussia was far from the limit. The Kingdom of Prussia now has a population of more than 30 million, and with their industrial strength, even if they mobilize 3 million troops, it will be no problem at all.

Now it seems that the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to preserve its strength as much as possible in order to gain more benefits after the war.

"Since the Prussians are unwilling to do so, then, perhaps, we are left alone. Does the General Staff have other plans? Long Yufei asked. Allies, after all, are still unreliable. For the sake of profit, they may betray at any time.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff believes that if the Kingdom of Belgium is to be rescued, the Navy must gain sea supremacy. In addition, the army could first send troops to land in the south of France, adopt the method of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, and force France to draw troops from the front line to help. Chief of the General Staff, General Sun Hao, said.

Long Yufei nodded: "Does the Imperial Navy think the opportunity for a decisive battle has arrived?" ”

"Your Majesty, the navy has always been eager to fight a decisive battle with the enemy. Even if the 'Admiral-class' battleships of the British Navy were already in service. However, the Imperial Navy still has enough strength to defeat them! Lieutenant General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Operations, said.

"Then send a telegram to the navy, and let them prepare to pick a suitable opportunity to have a decisive battle with the British navy!" Long Yufei said.

Of course, this is not that the Imperial Navy said that it was going to fight a decisive battle, and the British Navy would obediently come out for a decisive battle. The British Navy knew that it was no match for the Imperial Navy, so their capital ships were often cowered in the military harbor, protected by a large number of fortress guns, and it was impossible for the capital ships of the Imperial Navy to destroy them. Therefore, if you want to destroy the main force of the British Navy, you have to lure them out of the military port.

"What about the war in Spain?" Long Yufei asked. When Britain and France launched a large-scale counterattack, in addition to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Iberian battlefield was also the target of the British and French counterattacks.

"Your Majesty, the battle situation in the Iberian Peninsula is currently in a standoff between the two sides. After the landing of the 15th and 16th armies of the Imperial Army, the battle situation was stabilized. Although the British and French armies had the advantage in numbers, they still held the line under the joint efforts of the Imperial Army and the Spanish Army! (To be continued......)
