Jagged Germany

  In Berlin, the capital of Germany, at the General Staff, Kaiser Wilhelm II is listening to the report of the Chief of General Staff Moltke on the results of the French border battle with a smile on his face.

  Three days ago, the battle on the French border finally came to an end. In this battle, the German Empire successfully defeated the British and French allied forces and won the French border battle.

   This battle started on August 8th and ended on August 24th, which lasted half a month. The two sides dispatched a total of more than 3.5 million troops. However, the British and French allied forces, which were superior in strength, were still no match for the elite German army and lost the battle.

  The German army attempted to use the main force of the right wing (22 armies and 7 cavalry divisions) to detour west of Paris through Belgium, encircling and annihilating the main force of the coalition forces on the French-Belgian border. The Anglo-French coalition forces (22 half-armies and 7 half-cavalry divisions) deployed on the lines of Etin, Montmedy, Charleroi, and Landreux, and launched an attack in a centrifugal direction. The campaign takes place in 4 regions. From August 8 to 18, the 1st and 2nd French armies attacked Alsace and Lorraine. On the 20th, the German 6th and 7th Army Corps launched a counterattack, and the French Army retreated to the Nancy Highlands. From the 22nd to the 25th, the German 4th and 5th Army Corps and the French 3rd and 4th Army Group engaged in an encounter in the Ardennes. The French army, which was superior in strength, was defeated by the German army and retreated to Verdun and the Meuse River. On the 21st and 23rd, the German 2nd and 3rd armies forcibly crossed the Sambre River and the Meuse River respectively, forcing the French 5th Army to retreat to the south of Philippeville. On the 23rd and 24th, the German 1st Army repelled the British Expeditionary Force to the front lines of Le Cateau and Cambrai in the Mons area. In this campaign, the two sides participated in the battle with more than 3.5 million troops.

  During this battle, the British and French allied forces suffered about 300,000 casualties. They lost all fronts north of Verdun, and Paris was threatened. The No. 17 plan of the French army against the German army went bankrupt, and the German army took the strategic initiative on the Western Front.

  Of course, the German army did not have its own strategic goal and eliminated the main force of the British and French coalition forces in the battle on the French border. Although the British and French allied forces suffered heavy losses, the main force withdrew to the south of the Marne River. This allowed the British and French allied forces to have enough troops to defend the Marne River. In addition, France is still mobilizing frantically, organizing more troops to go to the front line for defense. Britain is also sending more expeditionary forces to France. In the end, although the British and French allied forces suffered heavy losses. However, it withstood the German attack on the Marne River. The strategic plan that made Germany's rapid demise of France went bankrupt, and the war inevitably turned into a war of attrition, thus entering a very unfavorable situation for Germany.

  These are all wars that took place in another time and space. But in this time and space, with the existence of the variable Qin Tian, ​​perhaps, all of this will be changed!

"Your Majesty, the British and French coalition forces have been severely damaged by us. Although they still have a lot of troops. But after a series of battles, it can undoubtedly be proved that the combat effectiveness of the German Army is absolutely the best in the world. There is no army of any country that can Contend against the German Army." Little Moltke looked very excited and proud, his face flushed.

  The 8th Army led by Qin Tian won the Battle of Tannenburg before, which brought him tremendous pressure. But now, through the victory of the French border battle, his position has been consolidated again.

  The 8th Army wiped out more than 200,000 Russian troops, but he commanded the main force of the German army to wipe out more than 300,000 British and French troops. Not only do we have an advantage in quantity, but we also have an advantage in quality. How could the Russian army be compared with the British and French allied forces?

"Well, well done. Now we have gained the advantage in northern France. If we can win the next battle and break through the Marne River, Paris is close at hand. As long as we take Paris, the French will definitely kneel Come down, humiliated and pray to us for peace. All this will be exactly the same as it was more than forty years ago." William II's face was flushed, as if he had seen victory.

   "Yes, Your Majesty. We are sure to win." Little Maoqi even echoed.

  Other people, including the Minister of War von Falkenhain, all smiled. Either way, it was the Germans winning at the front. For Germany as a whole, this will be very beneficial.

   "Your Majesty, the Eighth Army has sent a telegram." A staff officer walked in with a smile on his face.

   "Oh, did the Oscars win again?" William II asked with a smile. The German army won an all-round victory on the frontline battlefield, which made him, the emperor, feel very good. When the battle on the French border had just ended, the Masurian Lake battle between the 8th Army and the Russian 1st Army had also reached its climax.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The 8th Army has called, and the commander of the Russian 1st Army, General Leiningkamp, ​​has officially surrendered to us. The number of surrendered Russian troops is more than 200,000. The 8th Army is now placing prisoners, and Take a rest." The staff officer said.

  The Russian 1st Army surrendered? This news was a great shock to everyone. After all, annihilating an enemy group army and forcing an enemy group army to surrender are two completely different concepts!

"Haha, okay, Oscar and the 8th Army did a great job. First they wiped out the Russian 2nd Army, and then forced the Russian 1st Army to surrender. The Russian Northwest Front Army is finished. The Russians On the Eastern Front, it is no longer possible to pose a threat to us." Wilhelm II laughed.

  The German army won victory on both the western and eastern fronts at the same time, which made him very happy. Now, he is even more sure that Germany will definitely win this battle.

   "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The other generals all beamed with joy. Especially the Minister of War von Falkenhain, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

  Little Moltke, also congratulate William II. However, the smile on his face was not very real.

  Compared to the victory of the 8th Army on the Eastern Front, the victory of the French border battle on the Western Front seems to be nothing at all. Although, they also wiped out 300,000 British and French allied forces. However, the 8th Army, with a force of 180,000, solved the problem of 500,000 Russian troops. This is undoubtedly a great victory. Besides, the 8th Army can be said to have solved the crisis on the Eastern Front on its own. Even if the Russian army will launch an offensive next, Germany has at least survived the most difficult time. On the Western Front, the war will continue.

  Little Mao Qi was a little worried. As Qin Tian gained more and more credit in the war, he would inevitably receive more and more attention from William II. At that time, Qin Tian's right to speak will become bigger and bigger. If it is not done well, he will be the chief of the general staff. For little Mao Qi, power is everything to him, and it must never be lost.
