It is not difficult to understand that a large number of officers and men at the grassroots level have the mentality of touching fish by crossing more than half the world from the Australian mainland to fight in Europe, which is not for the purpose of expanding the territory and is not a vendetta of world enemies.

The 2nd Group Army's distribution of land to the officers and men with meritorious service is a tangible benefit to the officers and men, and it is also a traditional measure, which is conducive to greatly consolidating the morale of the army.

When it comes to the level of Colonel Yu Hongyun, it is different, and he thinks more about the idea of making meritorious contributions and glorifying his ancestors.

If the performance is dazzling enough, it will be a promising cause to be able to stay in the army and develop in the post-war disarmament.

From an imperial point of view

Participating in the war in Europe is a process of participating in the reconstruction of the world pattern, and it is also a step in the transformation from a regional power to a global country, which is of great strategic significance.

Standing in the center of the world stage, fully demonstrating the powerful political and military power of the world powers, actively participating in European affairs, and exerting important influence is a step that the ocean empire must take to maturity.

has always been in the Western Pacific region to be the king and hegemon, and he will always be just a soil emperor who can't be on the table.

Major Yu Hongyun is an officer who graduated from a regular military academy and has rich experience in serving in many places, and he is able to grasp some of the strategic intentions of the upper echelons.

Some officers can comprehend the strategic intentions from the top, while others cannot, and the latter are destined not to go far.

Yu Hongyun didn't want to discuss this topic more, so he stood up, picked up the military hat and put it on his head, took off the armed belt with a gun and said; "Okay, let's stop talking, let's go see how the troops are training."

"Yes, happy to accompany you." Major Lei Yong put down the big tea jar in his hand, tidied up his military uniform, and went out with him.

The armored battalion of the Imperial Infantry Division is generally equipped with T-2 Cheetah medium tanks, and one armored tank battalion is equipped with two Cheetah tank companies, one wolf light reconnaissance tank company, one mechanic company, and one infantry company, which have independent combat capabilities.

In the village

The tanks were neatly arranged, with large pieces of tarpaulin laid in front of the tanks, and the officers and men of the tank crew were busy next to the disassembled parts, either cleaning, or applying butter, or picking up sledgehammers and clanging to change track rivets, and they were busy in full swing.

The basic maintenance work of the tank armored vehicle is completed by the crew itself, such as replacing the track assembly, replacing the track rivets, and simple daily maintenance.

When it's the turn of the mechanic engineer to make a move, it's usually a big problem with the machinery.

Major Yu Hongyun inspected all the way and was very satisfied with the overall situation.

The armored battalion is full of well-trained soldiers, and there are many professional sergeants who have rich experience in maintaining vehicles, and problems that cannot be solved are directly sent to the machine repair company.

Tank drivers have driver training, artillery commanders have artillery commander training, and vehicle commanders have vehicle commander training, which is a regular training that regular armored forces must have.

Only qualified soldiers who have completed the training subjects can be assigned to the tank crew, becoming a full-fledged member of it.

Under the organization of the company and platoon officers, the daily training of the armored battalion was carried out in an orderly manner, and the soldiers of the infantry company were practicing the battlefield rescue course, and they were seriously training in groups of three or five.

Major Yu Hongyun took the battalion officers on a tour and inspected it, walked around the cooking classes of each company, and it was time for lunch.

At noon, the three-in-a-row cooking class made roasted pork with potatoes, stewed radish, steamed steamed buns and vegetable soup.

The rich aroma of the food wafted out, and Yu Hongyun felt hungry at this time.

He came out of the Crimean peninsula early in the morning, and in order to catch the first small steamer, he got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and at this time his hungry chest was pressed against his back, where could he still bear it?

I simply decided to eat in Sanlian and not go back to the battalion headquarters to eat.

There is no habit of eating rice in this part of Europe, and the staple food is mainly steamed buns, cakes and breads, and the Chinese soldiers prefer to eat steamed bread and cakes, and have no love for the hard black bread at all.

When eating

Each platoon was beaten back by the soldiers on duty, a pot of potatoes and roasted meat, a pot of stewed radish, plus a bucket of steamed buns and a bucket of vegetable soup, and everyone sat around and ate together.

Major Yu Hongyun and the officers of the Third Company dined together, and they still ate these things, but there was a long table, and the meals were also distributed to everyone's plates, and there was a pot of flowers on the table, which made it even more ceremonial.

In the Ukrainian region, where famine is spreading, the army can have such a level of material supply, which can already be called a large sum.

The logistical supply standard of the tank armored battalion is higher than that of the ordinary infantry battalion, and according to the regulations, there must be meat at a meal, and a certain amount of vegetables must be provided, and the officers and men must be given extra rations of cigarettes, milk candy, fruit hard candy, and chocolate, so as to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength to cope with high-intensity battles.

Major Yu Hongyun sat at the table with a group of officers, although the dining etiquette was maintained very well, but the speed of eating was very fast, and in a short time he killed 4 steamed buns, two dishes, and drank two bowls of vegetable soup.

After the hot meal, it feels extra refreshing.

The cooks poured a cup of tea for each officer, and the officers chatted elegantly over the tea, enjoying a pleasant after-lunch time.

That's when it happened

There was a rush of footsteps outside, and the battalion officer on duty pushed the door and walked in, shouting with a telegram in his hand and a joyful expression; "Report to the barracks, the latest telegram from the army group, Bulgaria has surrendered!"

"What ......"

This news instantly shook a group of officers, and everyone "hula" immediately gathered around, watching Major Yu Hongyun take the telegram, quickly read it, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he handed the telegram to the others.

The atmosphere in the room soon became lively, and the officers danced happily to the beat, venting their irrepressible joy in their hearts.

Bulgaria is one of the four allies, in the First World War launched more than 600,000 troops, beating Greece, fighting Romania, fighting Serbia, and stepping on Montenegro.

After the "Showdown Operation" began, the Allied armies blossomed on all sides, and launched a series of attacks on the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria on the southern front, with outstanding results.

It's not ...... Bulgaria could not bear it and finally surrendered.

It is also no wonder that the officers were elated, even if Bulgaria surrendered, then Austria-Hungary was still far away? Will the Ottomans still hold on?

That is, victory in the war is not far off.

The vanguard of the 2nd Army, which was the first to arrive on the Crimean peninsula, had been around for two years, and everyone had had enough of the endless wars and unrest.

Now, after the battlefield on the Eastern Front, the battlefield on the Southern Front has also ushered in peace, how can this not make people ecstatic?

Good news followed......

After the start of Operation Showdown, the Allied forces, under the command of French Marshal Ferdinand Foch, began a counteroffensive on all fronts, and fighting broke out on both the Western and Southern Fronts.

Millions of Allied troops fought day and night to expel the Germans from the borders of France and Belgium, and the main German forces began to rapidly disintegrate.

On September 15, the Bulgarian army was routed, the country fell into a great chaos, and under the pressure of the Allied troops, knowing that it was powerless, Bulgaria surrendered to the Entente on the 29th.

The domino effect was transmitted, the Allied armies surrounded on three sides were strengthened, the blows to the Ottoman army, the North African battlefield, the West Asian battlefield were reported successively, and the southern front of Europe was approaching step by step, and the situation collapsed one-sidedly.

At this point, the rulers of the Ottoman Empire were no longer able to continue, and there were shouts of fighting and killing inside and outside the empire, and the rule was in turmoil.

On October 31, the Ottoman Empire announced its surrender, and within a few days, the already exhausted Austro-Hungarian Empire was also lying down.

On November 3, the Austro-Hungarian Empire surrendered, accepting the Allied army into its homeland, and the imperial nobles fled to neighboring Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway and even the Republic of Virginia on the other side of the Atlantic......

Berlin

"No...... I will never surrender, the German nation would rather die standing than live on its knees, I will lead the brave soldiers of LinkedIn to fight until the last moment, and victory will surely belong to the German Empire. ”

In the court

Wilhelm II roared loudly with rage, he was wearing the same military uniform as Marshal Li Xuanzhu of the Great Ocean Empire, and his upturned Prussian beard was shaking as hysterically as if he were mentally ill.

Count Theobaden von Batemann Holwig, Prime Minister of the Reich, Count Caprivey, Minister of the Interior, Zimmermann, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Field Marshal Hindenburg, Chief of Staff of the Army, General Ludendorff, Minister of War, and other courtiers were silent at his roar, and their faces were solemn.

The situation was so precarious that Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire conceded defeat and withdrew from the contest of the century.

The pressure of the whole world fell on the shoulders of the German Reich, what is the enemy of the world?

The dire situation of the present German Empire was that victory was infinitely elusive.

"By the way, what about my high seas fleet?" Wilhelm II strode over, looking at the ministers with bloodshot eyes, and his face suddenly glowed with a strange look, and he said loudly;

"The German Empire needed the High Seas Fleet to strike again, and in previous battles, they had beaten the British twice, demonstrating the great fighting power of the German fleet.

I am convinced that this time, the High Seas Fleet will do the same.

As long as the High Seas Fleet can break the blockade and cut off the English Channel traffic, we will have a chance to strike a beautiful counterattack and teach the British and French a profound lesson.

By the way, there are also those arrogant army of the Great Ocean Kingdom.

I swear;

All the enemies of the German Empire, who will be scorched by the fire of hell day and night, will kneel at my feet and ask for my mercy, and victory will be upon Germany. ”

"Victory will be for Germany." The ministers echoed in unison.

The German Empire was a dictatorial imperial system, in which the cabinet, parliament and army had to be unconditionally subordinated to the will of the German emperor and powerless in the face of imperial power.

Seeing Wilhelm II in such a crazy state, a look of sadness flashed in Prime Minister Holwig's eyes.

He knows;

The longer Wilhelm II struggled to the death, the greater the catastrophe for the Germanic peoples, and the chances of victory against the whole world on his own were negligible.

But in the face of a hard-line dictatorial monarch, his advice is pale and powerless, and it is impossible to change anything?
