Jagged Germany: Chapter 537 excited emperor
The German army severely damaged the British and French forces and captured Paris. From the perspective of the whole world, this seems to be a signal that the German army is about to win the war. In Germany, from the emperor and ministers to ordinary people, they all have this mentality.
The war has been going on for more than half a year now. Even Germany made full preparations before the war. However, the war still had a great impact on the lives of the people of the empire. The most significant impact is undoubtedly that a large number of young and middle-aged people are recruited into the army, which creates a huge gap in the social labor force. Many jobs had to be filled by women.
In addition, the death notices sent from the Department of the Army every week have plunged countless families into grief. Although, in this time and space, because of Qin Tian's relationship, the German army's combat effectiveness is even stronger. The losses they paid in the war were also smaller. But even so, there are still many families who have lost their husbands, sons or fathers. This is war, and it is impossible not to kill people. Even the American emperors of later generations cannot fight a war with zero casualties. Not to mention Germany now. Of course, compared with other countries, Germany's losses in this war are undoubtedly much smaller. This makes the empire, for the time being, able to bear it.
The lives of the people of the empire have also been greatly affected by this. However, the food supply is still sufficient. However, the supply of meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits is not enough. Gasoline, in particular, has begun to limit supply. Many families who have bought cars have to park their cars at home and go to work on foot or by bike because they cannot add gasoline.
Of course, even so, the people of the empire undoubtedly support the ongoing war of the empire. Especially in the face of victories one after another, they think that the empire is not far from winning the final victory. After the war is over, the empire will receive generous war dividends. By then, everyone will have a better life because of it.
The character of the German people is undoubtedly tenacious. It is precisely because of this that the German army can fight on the battlefield without any worries.
In another time and space, Germany lost the war, and lost both world wars. This also made Germany pay an extremely heavy price for this. But, in this time and space, the German people will get the victory they only dreamed of. This is almost a sure thing.
Berlin, in the palace, William II is holding an imperial meeting.
"Gentlemen, His Royal Highness and the generals, as well as the brave soldiers of the German Empire, fought very beautifully on the French battlefield. The main force of the British and French coalition forces has been wiped out by us. Even Paris, the capital of the French, It has been occupied by us. The senior officials of the French government abandoned their capital and fled to the south of France in embarrassment. Although the French continue to resist. But I believe that we are nowhere near winning the war It's far away. As long as France is defeated, the empire will undoubtedly win this war!" William II looked excited.
When the war started, although he was full of confidence in this war. But in fact, with the strength of Germany alone, he still has some doubts about challenging the world powers such as Britain and France. Although Germany also has an ally, the ally of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is simply a pig teammate who specifically drags its feet. It is simply delusional to expect them to contribute to the war.
But after the war broke out, the performance of the German army made William II very satisfied. Although, on the western front, because of Mao Qi, the British and French allied forces could not be defeated in one fell swoop. However, the German Navy and German Army performed very well on the Eastern Front. The German Navy beat the world's number one Royal Navy to the ground. The 8th Army of the German Army defeated Russia almost by itself. This gave Germany the upper hand in this war. After half a year of rest, the German army was on the Western Front this time. It didn't even use it for a month, and it directly defeated the British and French allied forces, and even occupied the French capital. Such a result naturally made William II very satisfied. He seemed to have seen the scene where France surrendered and the British were defeated. At that time, Germany will replace Britain in one fell swoop and become the world hegemony. And it is a world hegemon whose strength far surpasses that of the United Kingdom.
As soon as he thought that the whole world would be crawling under his feet, William II was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
"Your Majesty, although the French are still holding on, they probably won't last long. According to the information we have, the French are mobilizing aggressively. However, the total strength of the British and French coalition forces is no more than two million. .Moreover, more than half of those troops are newly formed troops. Not only are their weapons and equipment insufficient, but they have not even experienced formal training. It is impossible for the French to use such troops to resist the attack of the elite imperial army. Impossible. His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the troops to continue to attack south. As long as our army can defeat the French again, they will have no strength and no courage to continue fighting. Then, they will have to surrender " Marshal von Falkenhain, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of the Empire, smiled.
King William II nodded. He also believed that they were only one step away from victory.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has already begun preparations for the landing campaign in England. His Highness has just sent a telegram to the Admiralty, requesting the Admiralty to cooperate with the Army to encircle and annihilate the British Expeditionary Force that has retreated to Le Havre. This is undoubtedly for the future landing on the British mainland. Prepare. The British Expeditionary Force is undoubtedly the most elite force in the British Army. Once the British Expeditionary Force is completely eliminated by us, the British will have to rely on some recruits to fight. At that time, they will not be our opponents. We It is just around the corner to sweep the British mainland." Marshal Earl Tirpitz, Minister of the Navy, also said.
The German Navy has defeated the Royal Navy in a decisive battle, causing heavy losses to the Royal Navy. It can be said that the German Navy has officially replaced the British Royal Navy and has become the world's number one navy. This is tantamount to realizing the long-cherished wish of Marshal Earl Tirpitz for many years, which naturally made him very happy.
"Well, if the French don't surrender, then we will make them surrender. If the British want to continue to resist, then we will destroy them. No one can compete with the German Empire!" William II looked confident.
