    Time entered 1916, with the empire's strategic layout in Asia initially completed.  Europe was also thrown into a new situation by the Allies.

    In the north, Russia was defeated by the Allied forces and lost most of its temperate and subarctic territories, including Ukraine and the Baltic Sea coast. Tens of millions of its citizens were compressed into a small area in the far north, anchored by St. Petersburg, Moscow and two central cities.  It was almost by relying on everyone to fight against the Allies with soldiers, and relying on the extremely bad weather in the cold zone, that they could barely maintain the last territory.

    In this area, the temperature plummeted to the point where even the gasoline engine found it difficult to burn, and it frequently stalled during the march. The Allied armored forces were unable to move and could only attack with traditional infantry. Under this situation, Russia was barely able to maintain  With the situation under control, more than 1.6 million troops of the entire Allied Powers and millions of Russian soldiers and serfs fought a difficult tug-of-war on this land.

    Under the primitive combat conditions, the war had to return to the combat methods of the last century. Trench warfare became the mainstream, and the frozen soil in the frigid zone made the combat process extremely difficult. Throughout 1915, the Allied forces successively attacked here.  Nearly 800,000 soldiers were lost, and the attack was unable to take place for a long time, which also caused a headache.

    The Russian Empire has fallen into a more miserable situation, with a small area, harsh climate, lack of industry, and even lack of food. In Moscow, people die of cold and starvation almost every day, and everyone eats each other.  In order to obtain limited food supplies, people had to take up primitive swords and guns to resist in order to obtain the very few rations issued by the Tsar to the soldiers.

    This year, the population of the former Russian Empire was estimated.  At least it has been reduced by half, about 70 million people, in addition to deaths caused by wars and disasters.  Escape from Russia became the most popular slogan during this period, and millions of people flooded into Scandinavia.  The neighboring small countries of Finland, Sweden and Norway have become the most perfect paradise in Slavic dreams.

    And right next to Russia, the Republic of Kazan, a country established by the revolutionary parties in Russia, added insult to injury, openly demarcated the border with Russia, did not recognize itself as the territory of the Tsar, and tried to join the ranks of the Allies.  The so-called betrayal of relatives and separation has reached this stage.  Russian Tsar Nicholas II was almost in complete despair.  If it were not for the occasional supplies from the Allied countries in the northern seas, he would have surrendered.

    But now, under the most difficult circumstances, Russia is still struggling.  The Allies were also unable to attack on this land. At this time, Russia was already useless to the Allied countries.

    People would never have imagined that the war would turn out like this.

    The thousand-year-old country of Greece was captured by the Allied Powers.  Bulgaria, a small Balkan country in the past, expanded instantly. Not only did it carve up Serbia with Austria-Hungary, it also took away part of Greece.  He immediately became the overlord of the Balkans and was completely satisfied.  Romania, who had taken sides in advance, later even joined the Allies.  At this time, it can only barely maintain itself from being annexed.

    However, at this time, there was also uneven distribution of spoils within the Allies.  Italy entered the war late and received little benefit in Greece.  They were all taken over by Austria-Hungary, so they were naturally dissatisfied. After some bargaining with their allies, they targeted the British and French colonies in North Africa and Spain and Portugal on the Iblis Peninsula.

    In 1915, Italy used the excuse of Spain and Portugal to provide berthing ports for the British fleet to go to war against the two countries, and united with the German army to cross the Pyrenees and enter the Spanish plains.

    On the other hand, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Germany simultaneously launched large armies, crossed the Mediterranean Sea, marched towards North Africa, invaded Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and other places, and advanced towards Egypt.  The North African War between the Allies and the Entente begins!

    But this time, things were by no means as smooth as they were on the European plains.

    As soon as Italy entered Morocco, it was hit in the head by the British army that was waiting for them!  The English Armored Knights, actually the armored force of the Marine Corps under the British Navy, with nearly 700 tanks, defeated the six Italian divisions that had just landed in a single raid on the African plains, leaving hundreds of thousands of people behind them who had just landed.  , all the Italian troops that had not yet deployed rushed into the sea and fought a beautiful battle of annihilation!

    Next, this force ran for hundreds of miles, defeated two divisions of the German North African Army in the Algerian desert, and controlled the ports of Oran and Algiers in North Africa, allowing Germany and Austria-Hungary to roam the sea.  The Imperial landing corps had to find another place to land.

    The Armored Knights of England, this coquettish and classical name, quickly shocked the world with its beautiful results in this series of raids!  And its leader, Montgomery, was able to stand out in the world and enter the eyes of military strategists.  peopleSuddenly, it was discovered that in addition to China and Germany, Britain also began to have formalized armored forces. Its combat effectiveness was by no means inferior to the 1st Armored Division of the German 1st Army and the 1st Armored Division of the 2nd Army, which had become famous in the French Destruction War.  7th Armored Division.

    Under the threat of the English Armored Knights and the 100,000 British troops behind them, the Allied forces had to choose to find ports to land in the smaller Tunisia and Libya. And this delay alone allowed the Allied forces participating in the North African War to land in  The start of the war on the African continent was delayed by three months and had to enter 1916, which also allowed Britain and France to quickly put their military arrangements in place against the Allies in North Africa.

    In 1916, the battle area between the Allies and the Allied Powers spread toward Africa on land and toward the Atlantic Ocean on the sea.

    After the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg joined the Allied Powers, Greece, Spain, and Portugal joined the Allied Powers organization one after another!  Of course, Greece at this time had already been subjugated, and only the king and his family fled from the sea to England and became one of the Allied governments in exile.

    But the participation of Spain and Portugal in the war was definitely not good news for the Allied countries. During this period, the Kingdom of Spain, which should have been divided into pieces and was caught in various crises of division, suddenly rose to prominence when it encountered an invasion.  From the mainland to South America, Spanish and Portuguese people everywhere suddenly burst out with high patriotic sentiments at this moment.

    Although the combat effectiveness did not show any shocking achievements, the material logistics solved the great troubles of the Allied countries.  This made the overseas supply lines of the Allied countries smoother. Together with Britain and France, the colonies spread over half of the world, making this war longer and longer.

    At this time, the Earth, the United States and Japan, the only two quasi-powers that were isolated, had increasingly obvious political tendencies in 1915. The United States moved closer and closer to the Allies, and repeatedly warned the Allied forces' overseas break-up fleets.  U.S. merchant ships were not allowed to be attacked, and swarms of U.S. merchant fleets were almost connected in a line in the Atlantic Ocean to transport goods to the British Isles and Russia, forcing the Allies to attack U.S. merchant ships many times.

    The two sides have become increasingly angry during repeated frictions. Confrontations between the German break-up fleet and American escort ships at sea have become more and more frequent. It is obvious that the United States is not far away from breaking the deadlock and joining the war.  .  The Allies, on the other hand, have become increasingly intolerant of America's obvious leaning attitude.

    "And Japan, the Oriental orphan who once flaunted its departure from Asia and joined Europe and did not admit the inferiority of the yellow race in itself, has shown signs of turning back and moving closer to the mother Eastern civilization system!

    The most obvious sign is the equipment purchase agreement reached between the Empire of China and Japan after the Congress of Nations held in Nanjing, Asia. The Japanese army obtained a large amount of standard equipment from the Chinese military, enough to equip twelve divisions with an army of 300,000 people. Among them,  The most surprising thing is the Raccoon amphibious tank, the most elite piece of equipment of the Chinese National Defense Force, which has given the world a glimpse.

    There is no doubt that with the sale of this kind of equipment, there must be a series of political compromises and military cooperation behind it. Otherwise, Japan will never be able to form combat effectiveness simply by buying equipment.

    So far, only Persia, Siam and some vassal states within the Greater China Federation (the name foreigners call the Chinese vassal-state system, which has become a common practice over time) have received these elite equipment. In order to help it form combat effectiveness, its army also has  A large number of Chinese National Defense Force officers entered,

    What kind of compromise did Japan rely on to complete this kind of deal?  This has caused a lot of speculation in Western countries, but in any case, this situation has shown that Sino-Japanese relations must have been greatly improved. Next, the status of the Philippines, a colony under the name of the United States, will become extremely embarrassing.

    Under the heavy siege of the Greater China Federation, even the retreat is so far away. The supply line across the entire Pacific makes all countries not optimistic about the future of the United States to maintain this enclave in front of the Chinese Federation!

    Although the diplomatic situation between China and the United States has not been abnormal so far, and the economic and trade is still extremely hot, this does not mean that China will not go to war with the United States. Between countries, driven by interests,  , any illusion of peace is so ridiculous, especially in today's troubled times!

    Under this circumstance, the diplomacy between the Allied Powers and China has recently improved.  Germany even proposed to negotiate with China to purchase warships.

    During the conversation between the new German ambassador and the Chinese Foreign Minister, the two sides exchanged views on peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. Germany, on behalf of the Allied countries, believed that Britain's military presence in India and Afghanistan was not conducive to the stability of the situation in Asia. The order in Asia should be  Asian peoples came to dominate, especially the Chinese Empire and its vassal states,It should play a decisive role in the peace pattern in Asia.  (To be continued)
