Six-five-four: We need Nikolai, that madman!
Six, five, four, we need Nikolai that crazy!
Whitehall, London. ใ I want: super fast update ใ
The conference room was crowded with people, not only British officials, including Prime Minister Lloyd George, but also several liaison officers from France, the United States and other countries also came to this famous conference hall.
The reason for coming here is simple, because the tide of battle has changed significantly!
As the staff officer pointed to the map and introduced the situation of the battle that had spread almost all over the world and was in full swing, everyone's faces began to become solemn, nervous, and uneasy.
And all this has something to do with the arsonist in the Far East!
First of all!
The Far Eastern arsonist, having reached into Mesopotamia, occupied Socotra, and isolated the Indian battlefield from Europe, had begun to increase his forces in Greater Kuwait, and the first naval minesweeper had arrived at the port of Muscat, and now he was only a few steps away from Europe, and once the Strait of Hormuz was opened, a steady stream of convoys would pass through it to Kuwait, and then along the Baghdad railway into the four Allied countries in Europe.
Even if they can constantly attack and destroy the railway line, everyone knows that unless the source is cut off, no one can completely prevent supplies and troops from entering Europe!
The Australian ground war has also begun, 500,000 Chinese troops are bombarded by thousands of aircraft, tanks and artillery, and are attacking South Australia from Northwest Australia along the railway line at the same time, and 100,000 Korean, Japanese and Siam Army have also arrived in Rabaul, only half a step away from boarding North Australia to join the Australian campaign! Moreover, it is said that the main army of 2 million Chinese troops stationed in Southeast Asia and preparing to attack India is also ready to abandon the attack on Ceylon and India and go to support Australia!
If the latter information is true, everyone feels that their scalps are numb, and the total population of Australia and Sealand and the troops stationed there in various countries combined are only about 4.2 million, but they have to face an enemy army equivalent to the total population like a wolf and a tiger, and perhaps it is only a matter of time before it falls.
His 200,000 marines, with the help of dozens of warships, have already tackled the Solomon Islands and are about to begin the assault on the Hebrides, Tulois, and Samoa, less than 1,300 nautical miles from the vital Noumea!
The second group of 300,000 troops composed of China, Japan and North Korea has also arrived in the Colรณn Islands, and is constantly being transferred to Colombia from there, they will unite 100,000 Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Colombian troops, and then go to Panama, according to the plan released by the Chinese General Staff, they will increase the number of allied troops in Panama to 500,000 by June, plus the troops of the Colon Islands and Pearl Harbor, the total number of troops facing the American continent will also reach as many as one million!
In order to defend against them, the United States has invested 3.5 million troops on the West Coast and 1.3 million troops in Panama, and it is said that even the untrained soldiers who have just been recruited have been pulled up, according to Lieutenant General Pershing, who has just returned to the United States from Mexico and has taken over the post of commander of the Panama theater of operations, he still needs at least 2 million troops!
Oh, God!
In Alaska, Li Mo's madness also invested 60,000 troops, he not only had complete control of the Aleutian Islands, but also stationed a detachment in Holland Harbor, except for 10,000 Chinese marines, the rest were Japanese and Korean troops, these two countries have become his trump card fighters!
The harsh environment of Alagas, which means that in order to expel these 50,000 people, the United States and Canada need to invest at least ten times as many troops! This is really worrying, does the United States still have troops to send?
The United States has human resources, and that country has a population of more than 90 million, but the problem is that 3% of them are people of color, and white Americans don't like war, after all, they are originally looking for peace in the United States, if they like war, it is better to stay in Europe! What's more, it doesn't have any war background, and it doesn't know how to fight at all!
Coupled with successive naval defeats, America's confidence in entering the war began to wane, and although its factories were running at full capacity, although his docks were full of keels, tanks were being built one after another, and President Wilson was doing his best to arm as many troops as he could, no one saw the United States begin to regain confidence, even though he vowed to protect every inch of American territory. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
No one knows when the world's largest economic power will stand up for war, or if it will simply not be able to stand up at all.
And what makes everyone dumbfounded is that after Li Mo's crazy layout of so many battlefields at the same time, he has already begun a full-scale attack on Western Siberia, according to the current intelligence, including logistics personnel, this time he invested a total of more than 200 land forces, launched a large-scale land campaign since the start of the war, coupled with technical advantages, Russia is in big trouble, once it is advanced to Ufa by the squadron, then Russia's important and prosperous European region will be shrouded in the claws of the dragon.
That would be a terrible thing!
Summing up everything in the staff officer's mouth, everyone got only one signal, the madman in the Far East, the arsonist, who took advantage of the naval superiority and pushed the war into the high hรก with a wave of his hand.
How did he do it? How can we ensure that the two battlefields are so vast that the two battlefields can reach a distance of more than 20,000 kilometers for logistical transportation and supply? Did the Chinese really only participate in the war for less than a year? How can the preparation be more adequate than all the Entente countries combined? What matters is, has he done his best, or is he still retaining his strength?
Everyone couldn't believe that these were true, but Marshal Kitchener knew better than anyone that he could procure millions of weapons and ammunition without telling the parliament before the war, so that the madman who existed almost like a god in the country, and who would have millions or tens of millions of fanatical young people picking up guns for him with just one word, was very likely to start secretly preparing a few years ago, preparing materials, producing equipment, and making ammunition!
So, Marshal Kitchener knew better than anyone that he, and his country, were far from reaching their limits!
Field Marshal Kitchener stood up, because he had an important matter before facing the army before Li Mo, his gaze swept over the prime minister and the people present, pointed to the map and said loudly: "I must go to Russia once, because our friend is in trouble, but."
Before we do that, let's look at a set of numbers!
In Europe!
In two years, France has mobilized 8.8 million fighters from a population of 40 million, and Russia has mobilized 13.5 million with a population of more than 100 million! Later they were joined by allies such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece, who also mobilized a total of 6 million! The United States has also sent 200,000 troops to Europe.
And our country has mobilized 9 million whites from the native, Australian, Canadian and other places, of which 6.5 million are in Europe, plus the colonial army, the total number of troops in Europe has reached 9.5 million, and there are 13 million in the world.
Look at our opponents, Germany, with a population of 70 million, mobilized 11 million troops, Austria-Hungary 6 million, Bulgaria 1.7 million, Ottomans 2.7 million, what does this mean?
Explain that they are starting to lag behind, that they are being suppressed!
Although we had a total of 11.7 million soldiers killed and wounded in the previous passive, our enemies also paid more than 4 million, so we still have strength! It's not time to despair yet!
Now, the big question before us is the East!
That arsonist, he has already mobilized 7 million troops, plus Japan, North Korea and other Far Eastern countries, he can already invest more than 10 million troops at one time!
But in fact, he has not done his best, because he joined the war a year later than us, so he is far from reaching the limit, but limited by time, manufacturing and transportation capacity, if only in terms of population, his mobilization force for the big war will reach more than 40 million! โ
Marshal Kitchener's serious and cold numbers made everyone here gasp, 40 million? It is possible to drown any country without fighting, no, to drown all of Europe!
"Although his army has reached Mesopotamia, although he has begun to attack Western Siberia, trying to open the Russian passage and join forces with Germany, it will take time!" Field Marshal Kitchener continued: "It takes time to cross the Indian Ocean to Mesopotamia, or to go through the vast expanse of Western Siberia! And he also needs to face the containment of the United States and Australia.
A few months earlier, our attacks on Saint-Miel and Verdun had already consumed a large number of German troops, and they were starting to be stretched thin, so we still had a chance to change.
Now the main forces that Germany can draw are attracted to the Verdun area, and there are less than 35 divisions on the southern front of Paris, so I have discussed with Xia Fei, we are ready to start the campaign in the Lower Normandy area, this battle will be carried out by our country, the United States and Spain as the main attacking force, the United States has partially supported the arms has arrived, this time we will put in another 70 divisions, 2 million brave soldiers, and will advance all the way to the Somme area at any cost, so that we can form a north-south attack with Verdun, and the German ** The team drove away from around Paris and prepared to retake Paris!
In addition, the 300,000 allied troops of Greece, Italy and Portugal will land in Serbia a week later, and cooperate with the Serbian army and the Russian ** team to flank Austria-Hungary, and they will contain all the living forces of Austria-Hungary, Ottomans and Bulgaria.
What we have to do now is to convince Nicholas II to abandon the struggle with Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, to abandon the idea of an all-out counterattack on Western Siberia, to shrink our forces to the Ufa defense, to first cooperate with us to launch a major offensive from the east, to strive for a great attrition of Germany, and to defeat one fist of the Allies first! โ
Field Marshal Kitchener withdrew his arm, and his voice began to be low: "But the recent news disturbs me, the unrest in Russia is beginning to intensify, and the Bolshevik bastards are constantly inciting ignorant people to abandon the war, and I am sure you all know the importance of Russia, whose army in Europe accounts for a third of our total strength!" Although they are not short of combat, they do not lack courage, and the important thing is that he has a manpower advantage that we cannot match!
So I'm not just going to Russia, to meet Nicholas II and the nobles, but I want you to understand how important it is to support and arm Russia, us. โ
"Report!"
Marshal Kitchener's words were interrupted, but no one was to blame, for it must have been extremely surprising to be able to interrupt the news of such an important meeting, so everyone looked at the secretary who had come to report.
"General." The secretary handed the telegram to Lieutenant General Redrick Hamilton and said excitedly: "They're coming out, they're coming out!" โ
"Them?" Lieutenant General Redrick Hamilton's heart shrank suddenly, and he immediately opened the telegram, looked at it twice, and clenched his fists violently, and the color of joy was overflowing.
"Redik? What's wrong? Prime Minister Lloyd George immediately asked.
"Prime Minister, they're coming out!" Vice Admiral Redrick Hamilton said excitedly: "The intelligence officers have just sent the news that they have determined that the German High Seas Fleet will set sail in five days!" โ
"Great!"
After getting the news of the departure of the German High Seas Fleet, not only the admirals breathed a sigh of relief, but even Field Marshal Kitchener breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Jellico's home Grand Fleet had finally ended its long wait and kicked the Germans in the ass!
Everyone knows that as long as the German High Seas Fleet can be defeated, Britain is willing to pay any price, because if the German Navy can be disarmed, it is equivalent to vacating at least 20 or more capital warships.
In addition, the United States, Britain and France have worked hard after the start of the war, the first batch of ships to build Gao hรก, will be gradually delivered after June this year, as long as the current situation is dragged out to the second half of the year, one by one warships can be put into the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, completely breaking the arsonist's maritime superiority!
In the face of several times the number, even if the technical advantage cannot be completely offset, it can at least level the gap, not as it is now, watching the transport ships scurrying back and forth, and can only rely on slow submarines to harass!
That's great news!
Prime Minister Lloyd George even wanted to shout to express his frustration, but before he could get up, another figure who hurriedly broke in made the conference room suddenly change from a stove to an ice cellar!
"Prime Minister, it's not good!"
"There has been a massive workers' strike in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Mr. Ambassador says that at least 300,000 workers have been organized, and their numbers are growing, and they are spreading throughout the Russian cities, and Nicholas II is already surrounded in the palace!"
"What!"
"God, how is that possible?"
"Why is there no sign beforehand!"
"Is that them?" Marshal Kitchener's face changed sharply, he knew better than anyone else the importance of Russia, and he paid more attention to Russia and understood Russia than everyone else, so when he heard it, he immediately stood up, gritted his teeth and asked: "Is that Lenin, and his Bolsheviks?!" โ
"Yes, they are."
"Say no more!" Before the secretary could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Marshal Kitchener's wave: "Order the 19th Army to board the ship immediately, I don't care if the navy can provide protection or not, they must rush to Arkhangelsk as soon as possible!" โ
Marshal Kitchener swept the audience coldly, propped up the table with both hands, leaned over and said heavily: "Everyone, at this moment, no matter what method you use, you must do your best, we need Russia, we need the madness of Nicholas II!" โ
