After winning the Battle of the West Rum River and the Battle of Verdun successively, Britain, France, Yangde and other countries coincidentally chose to stop fighting, lick their wounds on their respective turf, and slowly recover their strength.

This is not because Britain, France and other countries are unwilling to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but they are really unable to continue fighting.

The artillery bombardment of the southern front of the Somme River alone for 8 days and 8 nights (5 days of artillery preparation before the start of the battle, plus 3 days of day and night bombardment after the start of the war) consumed 3.7 million shells, and this is not counting the shell consumption of the northern line of the Somme and the battlefield of Verdun.

You're welcome

Several large-scale battles in a row have exhausted the shells hoarded by the Entente, and if they continue to fight, they will have to fight with a white knuckle.

This is true of artillery shells, and the same is true of all kinds of other war materials, war is like a black hole that swallows up a huge amount of materials, and there is not enough to fill it.

As had happened in history, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was aware of the possibility of losing the entire war after suffering defeat on the Western Front, finally put down the last veil of hypocrisy and personally approved the German Navy to launch an "unlimited submarine war".

In January 06, Britain, France and other countries were sunk with a total tonnage of 290,000 tons of various types of merchant ships, and this number rose sharply to 470,000 tons in February, and 635,000 tons in March, in which a total of more than 230 passenger and cargo ships were sunk on the bottom of the icy Atlantic Ocean.

These included the steamers that transported an entire tank regiment and more than 200 aircraft and other military supplies, and the German submarines that raged wildly in the Atlantic, which had a huge impact on the Allied preparations for war.

German submarine warfare, which had loosened its moral burden, brought untold fear on the transatlantic routes, the shadow of death loomed, and almost all non-essential commercial flights were suspended.

The 1,460-kilometre route from the island of Yasol to Europe was often marked by large groups of German submarines, baring their fangs at passing merchant ships, making it a dead sea.

The Dinghai-class aircraft carrier detachment, which had just been commissioned by the Ocean Empire, rushed to the naval base in the Yasuor Islands under urgent escort pressure.

The aircraft carrier group will be centered on bases in the Azores and will be responsible for anti-submarine escort and maintenance of Atlantic routes.

On March 8 (the second month of the Russian calendar), the long-standing contradictions in Tsarist Russia finally broke out, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate, and the Romanov dynasty came to an end.

And this major event allowed the German army to see the dawn of victory on the Eastern Front.

Field Marshal Hindenburg, chief of staff of the German army, formulated a general strategy of "defending the west and advancing eastward" in this regard, taking a defensive position in the German-French border area on the western front, and sending more mobilized German troops to the battlefield on the eastern front, in an effort to quickly crush the Russian army on the eastern front.

After the victory on the Eastern Front, he moved his troops westward and fought to the death with all the strength of the German Empire.

Native Australia

Different from the panicked situation in Europe, today's Australian mainland is sunny, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and every holiday, families with their wives and children drive to the countryside to go on wild trips are growing rapidly, becoming a new leisure way for middle-class citizens.

Some of Australia's most scenic tourist cities, beaches, parks and forests are the most popular places for car owners to go for fun.

Gas stations, retail stores, road hotels, and garages quickly became popular and became part of the life of car ownership.

The news of the success of the Imperial Expeditionary Force in Europe sparked a carnival of local public opinion and citizens, and newspapers and radio stations reported on the victory in the European theater one after another, and a mood called pride and pride permeated and subtly affected the Australians.
