Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Ludendorff chose to exercise restraint despite being at an absolute disadvantage. After all, he only had more than 10,000 German cavalry in his hands.  His opponent, Brigadier General Zhou Hongzhi, in addition to more than 8,000 Chinese cavalry under his command, was also supported by 20,000 to 30,000 nomadic cavalry from the five tribes of Central Asia.  The strength gap between the two sides reached about one to four.  Under such circumstances, even if the German cavalry was more powerful, General Ludendorff would not have the confidence to win if a conflict or even a war broke out.  What's more, there is a cavalry brigade, two armored brigades and an infantry division of the Chinese Army in Moscow. The German army has no chance of winning!

    In the end, the German army had no choice but to accept China¡¯s kind reminder. General Ludendorff left the army to camp more than 20 kilometers away from Moscow, and then led a company of German cavalry into Moscow.  The Chinese cavalry then opened the road and allowed General Ludendorff and more than a hundred cavalry led by him to enter Moscow.  Now the entire Moscow is under the tight control of the Chinese army. As follow-up troops arrive one after another, the Chinese army will have tighter control over Moscow.  Therefore, there is no fear of Admiral Ludendorff causing any trouble in Moscow.

    After General Ludendorff entered Moscow, he met with Tsar Nicholas II. He expressed his apology to Tsar Nicholas II.  After all, Russia surrendered to Germany, but Germany could not guarantee the safety of the Russian royal family. This is quite embarrassing.  In addition, General Ludendorff also assured Nicholas II that the agreement reached between Germany and Russia was still valid, and Germany would do its best to ensure Russia's interests. This gave Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian government some peace of mind.

    Five days later, more than 10,000 armored troops of the German Army¡¯s 8th Army arrived on the outskirts of Moscow.  However, they were also blocked outside by the Chinese Army's 10th Armored Brigade.  The armored force of the 8th Army of the German Army is equipped with more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, which are basically Type I and Type II tanks that are imitations of China's T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank and T5 'Cheetah' medium tank.  In terms of quantity, it is similar to the 10th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, but in terms of combat power, the two sides are not at the same level.  After all, when the performance of tanks and armored vehicles on both sides is similar, the quality of soldiers is very important.  The Chinese Army's armored forces formed a few years earlier than the German armored forces, and have already summarized a large number of effective armored force tactics.  Although the German Army's armored forces have made rapid progress, there is obviously still a big gap compared with the Chinese Army's armored forces.  Because there was already a precedent of General Ludendorff, after being intercepted, the German Army's armored forces gave up entering Moscow and instead camped on the outskirts of western Moscow!

    This also basically formed a confrontation between China and Germany in Russia. Most of Moscow and the areas east of it were occupied by China, while the area west of Moscow was occupied by Germany. In addition, the coalition forces formed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania occupied  The southwestern region of Russia, including most of Ukraine.  The Ottoman Turkish Empire occupied the Caucasus Mountains and the areas south of it, and was working hard to advance north of the Caucasus Mountains.  The Ottoman Empire's goal was to advance as far as the Don River Basin.  However, after the Chinese army marched into Russia, this attempt of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was probably unable to succeed.  China has long coveted the fertile Don River Basin!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II has always been bitter about the German army's failure to capture Moscow before the Chinese. Marshal Falkenhayn, the German Chief of General Staff, also received scoldings several times.  Fortunately, Germany quickly diverted its attention to other things and had no time to worry about Russia.  Otherwise, Marshal Falkenhayn's life will be even more difficult!

    At the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II once again held a royal meeting.  This time, it was not to solve the Russian problem, but to address another major issue.  The German intelligence agency received definite information that the Chinese were preparing to attack Britain, which greatly concerned the German government.  Compared with Russia, which has a large territory but extremely backward industry, Britain, although its territory is small, has a very high degree of industrialization. In particular, Britain's naval and shipbuilding talents have always been coveted by Germany, and are also regarded by the German Navy.  This is the key to whether the German Navy can re-emerge and surpass the Chinese Navy!

    "Your Majesty, we can no longer lag behind the Chinese this time. If the Chinese capture Britain, it will inevitably lead to a repeat of the blockade of the German coastline in the early days of the war. In addition, the German navy's hope of catching up with China will also be destroyed.  Failed!" German Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz said solemnly.  This time the imperial meeting was held under the auspices of the German Navy.

    "Your Majesty, if the Empire can accept the talents of the British Navy and shipbuilding talents, then the Imperial Navy is sure to catch up with or even surpass the Chinese Navy within ten years! Therefore, the Empire must be the first to board the UK and take over the entire UK.OK!  "Marshal Bohr, Chief of Naval Staff, also looked eager. The gap between the German Navy and the Chinese Navy is really too big. This gap is not only the gap in the number of warships, but also in terms of technology and talent.  Gap. It is difficult for Germany to make up for these gaps with its own strength alone. It can only find other ways. The British Navy, the former maritime supremacy, undoubtedly has a very deep accumulation in this area, which is also looked down upon by the German Navy.  as a shortcut.

    "When will the Chinese probably launch an attack on Britain? Can the Empire land in Britain before the Chinese?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked with a frown.  The failure to compete with China for Russia made him very angry. This time he landed in the UK, he was not willing to fall behind again!

    "Your Majesty, the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army boarded a ship from southwestern Spain yesterday morning and is not expected to enter the English Channel until 5 days later. However, the Chinese Navy has now gained control of the sea in the southern part of the English Channel, and the main force of the British Navy  It has retreated to the North Sea! If the empire can send troops to land in the UK now, it should be able to get ahead of the Chinese!" said Lieutenant General Heisenberg, the head of the German intelligence department.

    Kaiser Wilhelm II nodded, and then asked, "So, can the Imperial Navy defeat the British Navy and land in Britain first?"

    "Your Majesty, all the capital ships of the Imperial Navy that were damaged in the Battle of the North Sea have now been repaired. We now have a total of 13 battleships and 4 battlecruisers, while the British Navy still has 19 battleships left. However, the British  The rest of the navy are all 'dreadnought' battleships, and the Imperial Navy has 4 super battleships. If a war breaks out, the Imperial Navy is sure to defeat the British Navy! In addition, the Imperial Navy's aviation arm has begun to take shape. If a naval battle begins with the naval aviation  If it breaks out within the combat radius, we will definitely be able to defeat the British Navy!" said Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz.  The German Navy suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the North Sea. From 29 battleships and 8 battlecruisers, only 13 battleships and 4 battlecruisers were left.  Moreover, the repairs of these damaged capital ships were stopped for a time due to lack of supplies, and the repair work was not completed until the end of last year.  The German naval aviation was established after the Battle of Sicily. The Chinese naval aviation showed great power in the Battle of Sicily, which also inspired the German Navy.  After Germany obtained a series of fighter aircraft technologies from China, the German Navy also produced naval-type fighters based on these fighters.  The German naval aviation now has two hundred fighters, half of which are fighters, and the other half are torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers.  Although the German naval aviation has not yet experienced actual combat, they have conducted several exercises. The senior officials of the German Navy are very satisfied with the performance of the naval aviation.  While the development of aircraft carriers began, the construction of naval aviation was also accelerated!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II was relatively clear about the restoration of the strength of the German navy.  After Germany gained the advantage on the Western Front battlefield, the previous policy of tilting all strategic supplies to the army slowly changed, and some supplies that the navy urgently needed began to resume supply.  Although William II's naval dream was shattered during the Battle of the North Sea, now, it seems that he has rekindled hope!

    "If the Chinese navy intervenes, will the Imperial Navy be sure to send the army soldiers to Britain?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.  After all, the Chinese Navy will definitely not watch Germany land in the UK.

    This question from Kaiser Wilhelm II silenced both German Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz and Chief of Naval Staff Marshal Bohr.  There is no doubt that the German Navy currently does not have the strength to compete with the Chinese Navy.  Not to mention the aircraft carriers that the German Navy does not have. Even if it is a battleship, the German Navy cannot compare with the Chinese Navy.  Now the main force of the Chinese Navy is basically concentrated in the eastern waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The number of the main force alone is as high as 40, including 14 battleships and 1 battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet, and 11 ships of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet.  Battleships and 1 battlecruiser, in addition to the 13 intact 'Dreadnought' battleships of the US Navy captured in the Battle of the Bahamas.  There are only four Tang-class battleships of the Chinese Navy. Except for the battleship Saxony, the German Navy's other battleships are far from rivals. The strength gap between the two sides is too big!  (To be continued.
