Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The meaning of Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of Army, is very obvious. The main force of the Chinese Army is now fighting fiercely with the Russians in the Siberian Plain, and victory is about to be achieved!  After that, it was time to cross the Ural Mountains and Ural River and enter Europe to compete with the Germans for territory.  The Germans have also achieved a decisive victory in the battle on the Western Front. Paris is not far away. The German army has captured Paris and completely defeated the British and French forces.  By then, the German army, which has ended its campaign on the Western Front, will definitely launch a massive attack on the Eastern European plains.

    If China does not want to fulfill the agreement it signed with the Germans and is unwilling to withdraw from Europe, then it must be prepared to confront or even fall out with the Germans in Eastern Europe!  In addition, most of the other Allied countries are also pro-German, so China has to deploy at least two million troops in Eastern Europe, plus 1.5 million mercenaries!  By then, excluding the Chinese Army's garrisons in other parts of the world, there will not be many troops that can be used!

    "Your Majesty, two marshals, unless the army expands its forces again, we will not have enough troops to support the navy's plan to land in the UK!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said with some regret.  Of course, even if we start to expand our army immediately, it seems to be too late.

    "Marshal Jiang, what's your opinion?" Wang Yuze looked at Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense, and wanted to hear his opinion!

    "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that if we can defeat Britain before the end of the war, it will be very important for us to obtain a solid bridgehead in Europe, and it will also help us compete with the Germans for world hegemony in the future. However, our military strength now  Some are not enough! However, there is no way at all!" Marshal Jiang Xingguo said.

    "Oh? Is there any way?" Marshal Zhang Cheng asked immediately.  He is very optimistic about the three combat plans proposed by the Navy this time, and naturally hopes that all three combat plans can be implemented.

    "How long will it take for us to defeat the Italians? If we retain a small garrison in Italy after defeating the Italians, the rest of the troops will immediately board the ship and prepare to land in Britain. In that case, our military strength will be relieved!" Jiang Xingguo!  The marshal said!

    Marshal Zhao Bowen immediately began to estimate that although the Italian Army has now expanded to two million troops, it will still be unable to drive the Austro-Hungarian and German coalition forces entrenched in northern Italy out of Italy.  At the same time, in order to prevent the German-Austrian Allied Forces from continuing to march into the hinterland of Italy, Italy has deployed most of its troops to northern Italy. This part of the army has about 1.2 million troops!  The remaining 800,000 people, including 500,000, are deployed in the southern Apennine Peninsula to defend the Chinese army that has captured Sicily.  They were afraid that the Chinese army would cross the Strait of Messina and land on the Apennine Peninsula.  The remaining 300,000 men were stationed in other parts of Italy.  Among them, there are about 150,000 people around the capital Rome!

    "If the German-Austrian coalition can hold back the main force of the Italians, we can easily defeat Italy with an investment of about 500,000 troops. Moreover, it will take no more than a month!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said!

    "Don't think about it, the Germans are definitely not willing to help us! As long as we land in Italy, maybe the German and Austrian forces will withdraw from Italy directly! The Germans are eager for us to fall into the quagmire of war in Italy!" Wang Yuze said.  Kaiser Wilhelm II would certainly crave for such an opportunity to cause trouble for China.  Even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is somewhat unwilling to give up the occupied territories, given the relationship between Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they will probably act together with Germany!

    "In this case, we will have to invest more troops. The combat time will be further extended!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said!

    "Your Majesty! Maybe we can raid Rome! Now there are not many warships left in the Italian Navy. After we capture Gibraltar, the entire Mediterranean will become our inland sea! The Italians have placed most of their forces in northern Italy and  In the south, other areas are very empty. Even the capital city of Rome only has 150,000 people! As long as a group of armies lands in Rome, if no accidents occur, it will be enough to capture Rome in three days! Even if the Italian army returns, it will never be late.  Come on! If we can capture the King of Italy and the Prime Minister, maybe we can force Italy to surrender. Even if we can't force Italy to surrender, Rome is close to the sea, and with the firepower support of the navy, we can still cope with the Italian army's attack!" Zhang  Marshal Cheng suggested!  Although Italy has deployed heavy troops on the Apennine Peninsula, Italy has a long coastline, and Rome is right on the seaside. It is completely under the attack of the Chinese army. Under the cover of the navy, the Chinese army can easily land in Rome!

    "Okay, let's do it! The Navy immediately dispatched transport ships so that the 2nd Army, 7th Army, and 8th Army did not have to withdraw to the country, and they were sent directly from the east coast of the United States.Departure and head to the Mediterranean Sea for a combat operation!  After the navy ended its battle to capture Gibraltar, it immediately implemented the battle plan to attack Italy!  The battle on the Siberian Plain is going very smoothly, and these group armies are no longer needed to support them!  In addition, other army units are also ready to transfer to Europe as much as possible!  "Wang Yuze ordered. In fact, the most critical factor restricting the Chinese army is the transportation problem! Europe is too far away from China. It will take a lot of time for the Chinese army to move from China to Europe, not to mention this kind of dozens of  Large-scale mobilization of millions of troops! If troops are mobilized from China to Europe, it will take more time!

    "Your Majesty, this is a good idea. We have captured a large number of merchant ships in the United States. These merchant ships are all intact and can be used to transport troops! In addition, the distance from the east coast of the United States to the Mediterranean is longer than that from the mainland to the Mediterranean.  Much closer! This can save us time!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said with a smile!  The journey from the east coast of the United States across the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea is only over 6,000 kilometers, and at the speed of a merchant ship, it would take at most half a month.  And transporting troops from mainland China will take at least more than a month!

    "That's it, give the order to the troops in North America. Except for the necessary troops staying in North America, the rest of the troops will assemble to the east coast and prepare to participate in this combat plan! Everyone, we need to speed up the operation in Italy as much as possible.  After defeating Italy, the army will immediately attack Britain!" Wang Yuze said excitedly.  This time, China must seize the opportunity to complete its layout before Germany, so as to occupy an absolutely favorable position in the future struggle for world hegemony!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of Army, Marshal Zhang Cheng, Minister of Navy, and Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of Defense, all replied loudly!

    The Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze approved the three combat plans of the Navy Department, which made everyone in the Navy Department very excited and started preparations immediately.  A large number of troops need to be mobilized, and weapons, ammunition and other strategic materials also need to be deployed. At the same time, the cooperation between the Navy Department and the Army, etc., is very cumbersome.  At the same time, because these combat plans need to be kept secret to avoid being noticed by the enemy, the difficulty of combat increases!

    In fact, during the war, the espionage activities of various countries are also the most frequent.  Even though all countries have stepped up their reconnaissance work on these spies, it is undeniable that no matter which country they are in, there are spies from enemy or allied countries!  The same is true for China. Because of the close relationship between China and Germany, there are many German academies of science, engineers, teachers, etc. in China. These provide good identity cover for German spies, even if China¡¯s Department of Homeland Security and Military Intelligence  The bureau teamed up to round up these espionage personnel many times, but they still could not completely eliminate these espionage personnel!

    This time, although the three combat plans submitted by the Chinese Navy were kept confidential, they were still leaked.  Of course, only one of the three combat plans has been leaked, and that is the first combat plan and the Chinese Navy's plan to launch an attack on Gibraltar.  After a German spy got the news, he sent the news back to the country.  Therefore, the Germans, unwilling to be left alone, or in other words, unwilling to see China becoming more and more powerful, began to secretly stumble China!

    "Your Majesty, this is the specific situation. The main force of the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet is heading towards the Strait of Gibraltar and is about to arrive in Sicily. The British only have a small number of warships in Gibraltar and no capital ships.

    In addition, our intelligence officers in North America also discovered that the main force of the Chinese Navy also left North America and disappeared without a trace. It is speculated that it entered the Atlantic Ocean, and its destination is estimated to be the Mediterranean Sea!  "Lieutenant General Ludwig Heisenberg, the head of the German intelligence agency, reported to Kaiser Wilhelm II!

    "Gibraltar? Those greedy yellow-skinned monkeys, are they really not going to abide by the original agreement? Gibraltar belongs to Europe and should be controlled by Germany!" William II said very angrily.  The importance of Gibraltar's strategic location cannot be overstated. If Germany controls it, it will be able to block the Chinese's path to Europe through the Mediterranean.  But now, the Chinese have actually attacked here. Although the battle has not yet begun, William II knows that the British will not be able to defend Gibraltar!

    "Let our people tell the British about this news. We can't let the Chinese capture Gibraltar so easily!" A trace of jealousy flashed in William II's eyes!
