"Mr. Belfo, get rid of your lethargy. You will become the greatest figure in the history of the Royal Navy!"
The train sounded its horn and the conductor screamed at the top of his lungs. He came to kolchak one after another and took out a handkerchief to wipe the crumbs from his mouth and hands. He didn’t think it was rotten to the roots. Russia put the commander-in-chief of the Black Sea Fleet in the suitcase and slowly got up.
In the VIP waiting room, nobles, businessmen, business officers and ZHENG F ǔ officials flocked to Taiwan. kolchak stuffed most of the space into the trash can and turned to look at St. Petersburg, where the night was dark outside the glass window with a faint smile and a straight body.
The train from Murmansk stayed in St. Petersburg for nearly half an hour, adding water and coal, and then re-opened the road. The purpose was the war-torn North Caucasus bread. The worried traveler didn’t know that the North Caucasus defense line was on the verge of collapse, nor did kolchak know that this was his last memory of St. Petersburg
(Gorgeous dividing line)
Secretly led Wang Haidi and Wei Gena into the core area of the army headquarters, pushed open the heavy oak door, and the smell of smoke came to my face. The old army chief of staff was full of vigor and vitality, so the navy met.
As usual, it is military etiquette. The two empires have high prestige in each other’s war. Even stamping their feet can trigger an earthquake in Berlin. With the world catching a cold, they will talk about some unhealthy words and compliment each other. The one-armed general’s inconspicuous place is like taking care of himself. The child-like scrub plan is silent.
The army chief of staff sent a secret coffee, and the three imperial generals sat on the sofa.
The temptation is to be intentional. Falcken Haine, the chief of staff of the Army, always has a little unpleasant condescension in his tone. He asks about the recent health of the veterans of the army and navy one by one. It seems to recall the history that the blood of the imperial navy is thicker than water, but it seems that it is too much to wake up young people to put aside the veteran’s bravery and go it alone
Hostility, inexplicable hostility, Major General Wolfgang Wei Gena, who temporarily served as the staff of the Ocean Fleet from the beginning of the door, was obviously aware of the indifference and alienation behind Falcken Hain’s polite words. The German navy was not an army that had no contact with each other. Max Hoffman, the army of Selim, was an old friend, and Wei Gena was also closely linked to many middle-ranking army officers because of his family origins. Wei Gena seems that although the imperial army was a little domineering and the western front also encountered a little trouble, the navy and army can still keep close trust, but this time the general with one arm at the army headquarters was unexpectedly hostile.
Wang Haidi introduced the recent situation of naval veterans with army background to Falcken Haine. He was not an ordinary demon who came late when the battlefield broke out in the novel but still got a promotion. His twenty years in the German navy were enough for him to understand and deconstruct this country full of contradictions.
Wang Haidi’s supercilious attitude won the respect of the army chief of staff, saying that the navy was undefeated. Ares was a clueless person who ignored the supremacy, but in actual communication, Falcken Heinfen felt that Wang Haidi was steady and steady.
"Maybe he’s not the heresy that King Henry said might subvert the Hohensauron dynasty," Falcken Haine thought, touching him.
"The Dogel Shazhou naval battle made me a first-class naval tactical commander, and the Ridelan naval battle made the world evaluate me from a strategic genius to a strategic master, but I know how lucky I am to get my name …"
Tortured by the deadlock in the western front and likely to leave his post, the army chief of staff is reluctant to lead the topic to the proper track. Perhaps Falcken Haine will admit who will speak first, and the momentum will fall into the boat. However, neither Wang Haidi nor the ocean fleet has the meaning of the army striving for success
After 19 years of being forced to join the navy, he drifted bleak for two to sixteen years, and after the war, he won again and again and the imperial high-level game was ups and downs. His life experience was enough to make Wang Haidi feel humiliated and worse. Two political storms woke Wang Haidi up and realized the cruelty of the war. He never wanted to have another world war, so his complicated chess game was laid out, and the army was the object he was actively fighting for.
It is easier to understand the attitude of the Ocean Fleet. Even in the most popular years of Erpitz, the convergence and implication are still worse. The navy, which believes in pure German commanders such as Scheer and hippel, will never ruin the unprecedented good situation of the empire after the naval battle in Ritland on a whim.
Wang Haidi took the lead in stopping the false confrontation and dispelling the tension with humorous tone.
"It’s like the naval battle of Portsmouth aimed at weakening the potential of the British war, interfering with and disrupting the recovery plan of the British navy. I saw the fleeting opportunity for the Mediterranean aid fleet to reinforce the British soil, but I didn’t expect that the fake blockade of the Baltic Sea fleet would bring uncertainties to the battle of Galicia Gozilli on the eastern front of the army."
The navy will not shy away from his mistake in that Portsmouth naval battle.
In addition to the inherent contempt for civilian commanders, some senior army officers’ dissatisfaction with the navy stems from the troubles caused by the blockade of the fleet in Apollo’s Luohai, which was deeply influenced by The Prince Henry and Croatia’s landlords. The young people in Falcken Haien would seize the victory and pretend to be the army’s complaints, but never thought that Wang Haidi found sincerity and apology in his eyes.
"The general is not all naval fault …"
Falcken Hayne is blunt and the official vocabulary is perfunctory. However, the real thoughts of the Army Chief of Staff can be seen from the fact that the Army Chief of Staff leans on the sofa and turns the right hand of the finger wedding ring.
Even the overwhelming army chief of staff, Falcken Haine, can still be simply summed up as a typical imperial army officer, who is noble and gentleman, dare to take responsibility and admit mistakes, but also stubborn and unreasonable. After being angry, the army executives can easily figure out everything. Perhaps the Russians have long planned to go south, and naval action is the inducement, but the soldiers just can’t let go of their posture and complain about the extra 200,000 Russian troops, and they will never admit that it is difficult to win the decision in the face of Ritland’s naval battle glory for a long time. The army itself is deeply worried and anxious.
"Portsmouth naval battle is not necessarily a bad thing for the army."
Wang Haidi looked at the ambivalence of the army chief of staff from the bottom of his heart, and he tried to hold back his smile and finally revealed his card.
"That is, the key to the deadlock on the Western Front?" Falcken hain quietly straighten the body and asked.
Wang Haidi winked at Wei Gena, who nodded and was reluctant to part with the ambitious plan and handed it to the army chief of staff.
Wang Haidi, an old smoker who just smoked half a cigar, looked at the light blue Se smoke column in the ash of the ashtray with a little distressed eyes. It made Falcken Haine’s vision blurred. The Army Chief of Staff slowly opened the plan and came into view. It was incredible to be complained by Wolfgang Wei Gena that "a mouse broke a pot of soup" and "perainverlrd" (overlord plan)
"Landing in Normandy? ！” The army chief of staff stood up in awe with his eyes shining, and a few arrows darted at the desk. The front finger of the European map moved all the way from the jagged northwest of France, and finally stopped to defend the virtual Normandy beach to be continued.
The second gun Chapter 12 Collapse began ()
(I almost missed the dormitory code word environment …)
"Thoroughly grasp the North Sea paralysis of the British East Coast shipping; Submarines and attack ships strangle the blood transfusion line of British colonies, weakening the potential of British war; The ocean fleet frequently harassed the British naval encirclement and suppression fleet and destroyed ports and shipbuilding facilities. This is the suffocation planning department. "
Wang Haidi Yang Yang was modified by Wolfgang Wei Gena’s landing plan in Fiskapa Bay. For the first time, he exposed the chess game that he had been brewing for a long time in front of naval outsiders.
At the same time, the navy will implement the Scarpa Bay landing plan, forcing the British to transfer more J and jīng force to the fortifications in northern Scotland.
"But the British have accumulated a large fleet in the English Channel. Maybe they can’t fight against the ocean fleet, but it should be a trouble for the landing fleet." Falkenhayn’s sight fell on the English Channel. Although the Portsmouth naval battle made the world see through the actual situation of the English Channel defense line, Falkenhayn was still worried about the old channel fleet.
"General, the ocean fleet is like a Damocles sword hanging over the British head, guarding the soil, maintaining the supremacy of the sea or panicking. The British may put the capital ship building plan first. This is our chance to break through the English Channel!" ”“
Wang Haidi pointed to a list of British shipbuilding data calculated by admiralty staff officers and smiled brightly to explain the origin of his confidence to the army chief of staff.
"The British Empire has never lacked shipyards and skilled workers, but the resource is their Achilles’ ankle suffocation plan, which stifles the British Empire’s hematopoietic capacity. The Scarpa Bay landing war plan is the temptation for Adam and Eve. The fact that the British Navy needs not only capital ships but also a large number of modern cruisers and destroyers at this stage is forbidden. After the naval bombardment of London in April, Britain will never take its defense of the Thames lightly. On the east coast, Newcastle, Harwich, Firth Bay, Scarpa Bay and Willis Bay also need a large number of light warships to guard ocean-going fleets to avoid submarine strangulation, and even more need light warships to escort them. The British navy can draw from the Straits Fleet or wave precious gold to buy from foreign countries. "
Wang Haidi stopped the topic at the right time. The Army Chief of Staff, the Deputy Commander of the Ocean Fleet and the Commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet smiled at each other because everything was right.
"There is nothing to say about the naval battle part of General Selim’s overlord plan, but the land war key is really too embarrassing!"
The army chief of staff nodded and continued to read the "Overlord Plan", which was written by Wang Haidi and Lei Deer ā Knife. The plan was very detailed. Falkenhayn took out a collection of cigar boxes and conveniently lost two cigarettes to Wang Haidi and Wei Gena.
Skillfully cut cigars, Falkenhayn was smoking a cigar, and compared with the plan, the map of Europe was deduced across the air. Soon Falkenhayn was not satisfied with his vision. Yin, he removed the console file, hung the wall map, tiled his desk, picked up a pencil and began to really deduce.
Skipping the naval battle and coming to Falkenhayn, the Chief of Staff of the Army, who is good at land warfare, shook his head with a little indignation. It seems that he complained that the rough army literacy of the navy ruined this wonderful plan. He threw a pencil and rolled it from the pencil map, sipping it with his left hand holding a cigar and his right index finger pressing the map. Normandy beach Paris gap wondered.
"And since the penetration of the English Channel is not a problem, why not send more troops at a time? Although the troops in the French rear area are extremely weak, what can only 40,000 people do in the hinterland of France? If we can’t deliver troops with decisive strength at one time, I’m afraid that landing alone will not only stir up the western front battlefield and turn positional warfare back into mobile warfare that is beneficial to us, but will make these 40 thousand people a delicious feast for the French. ",
"The chief of staff, the navy, does have the strength to send more than 10,000 troops to Normandy, but the greater the scale of mobilization, the greater the risk of battle leaks; Moreover, the completion of landing and the completion of sea supply are two different things. Once we land in the rear of France, the British will attack the sea supply line regardless of losses, and the navy may not be able to guarantee the supplies of Wan Jun. "
Wang Haidi, after all, is not a naval battle or a land war. At the same time, J Ρ ng is a Uber navy. He will be determined to pull the depressed Max Hoffman in the eastern front battlefield and improve the copying of a landing war in World War II. The land war link carefully changed the topic. Wang Haidi pointed to the light way of Aronwa’s protruding part, which is less than 100 kilometers from Paris
"In addition, the French are hoarding heavy troops from Normandy to Paris. There are at most a few reserve divisions. Once the empire successfully landed, even if there are 40,000 people, the French have to transfer troops from the front. Land cruisers have deployed troops, and it should be intentional for the western heavy corps to break through the French position!"
The land cruiser is not only crossing the passengers to open the golden finger to the peak, but also the commander of Falkenhayn East Line insists on the center of gravity of the west line in the face of complaints. Finally, with the sharp change of Falkenhayn’s view on young people, he believes that he has studied the land cruiser slightly. Two people happen to agree to abandon the overlord plan to discuss the correct way to make the land cruiser.
Scattering the medium-sized or simple infantry cover weapons of land cruisers makes Falkenhayn, the chief of staff of the Army, tend to the latter, but he was told by Wang Haidi that it was not that Wang Haidi had the talent of Rush’s land warfare, nor that he had carefully studied the tactics of tank warfare in his previous life, but that he valued the breakthrough, which was located in Avalon’s projection in Compgne, northeast Paris. The front line was too tight to make it in the direction of Paris.
Controversy is endless. Veterans and experienced young people are arrogant, so the old and the young lie on the map without any grid. The ashtray on the eastern front battlefield direction is quickly filled with cigarette butts. The doors and windows are closed, and the office of the Army Chief of Staff is full of smoke. The general with one arm is quite overwhelmed and retreats. He gulps and breathes near the window sill.
After more than an hour of communication, I had to terminate Falkenhayn’s private secret knocking at the door and came in. I was immediately stunned by the scene of the two sides enjoying themselves. You know, when the navy will make an appointment with the army chief of staff, Falkenhayn almost didn’t write his impatience back, and he was almost stunned by the choking smoke in the room. He even coughed a few times and finally could speak.
"General Selim, General Wei Gena, the admiralty called William Charlottenburg to hold an emergency meeting of the navy and army. Marshal Schell asked the general to return to the admiralty as soon as possible."
Unable to resist the smell of smoke, the one-armed general smiled like a flower, but rubbed a lot of smoke. Wang Haidi was a little reluctant, and the young man shrugged his shoulders at Falkenhayn with his hands in his pockets.
"If Hindenburg and ludendorff learn about the naval landing plan, they will certainly complain that the navy chose to venture across the English Channel to land in Normandy instead of gulf of riga in the Baltic Sea." Falkenhayn waved the secret to clean up the mess and handed out his right hand to Wang Haidi, making a joke on the young man who said that he was narrow-minded.
"The chief of staff, the Russians on the Eastern Front, look weak, but we should not forget the lesson of Napoleon’s expedition. Solving France is the best choice for the two-line war empire!"
Different from the casual handshake when we first met, Wang Haidi felt something different from the army chief of staff. The 161-year-old general and the 179-year-old new arm shook and repeatedly performed the drama of being loyal to the emperor. The army officer corps regarded Wang Haidi as a threat to the existing system. Finally, he was willing to tell the reason for his strength.
"Whether the army is willing to admit that the empire has fallen into the mire of positional warfare or not, the naval battle in Ri Delan can win the empire for more than a year at most. When the window of positional warfare is broken, the big fleet will inevitably rise again in 1917. In view of the natural terrain disadvantage of the empire, the ocean fleet launched the battle of Xing and completely crushed the blood transfusion line of the former imperial sea of the British navy, which is likely to be interrupted again. I have always insisted that France should be the first to solve the problem."
Falkenhayn sent two naval generals out of the door and stopped unconsciously. Through more than an hour of communication, the army chief of staff found that many of his views coincided with each other. However, before that, he only considered Wang Haidi from the land perspective and interpreted it from the sea situation, which not only brought him a spiritual shock, but also a sense of urgency.
The empire may have this young man who knows positional warfare and war of attrition. J: ng pulp is a bit impetuous and alternative because of what he knows. Falkenhayn began to understand some doubts.
"France is an old industrial power. It is true that their army is rigid and conservative in tactics, but they are no worse than the empire in terms of individual soldiers’ quality and weapons. After the outbreak of the European War, the war has always been in France, and France’s industry is relatively developed. The northwest region has fallen, and its war potential has been greatly weakened. If it were not for the British, perhaps France would have lost blood transfusion. After the naval battle in Ritland, the navy began to threaten the British soil, forcing Britain to focus on the country and reduce its blood supply to France. France is unprecedentedly weak at this stage."
Wang Haidi didn’t notice at all that the army chief of staff had fallen behind. He went forward to continue his speech.
"We should beat the French in one go, make the industry grow stronger, and make the neutral countries win over. Finally, we will turn our guns against Russia. If we are trying to deal with seemingly weak Russia at this stage, once we are held back by Russia’s huge territorial strategy and cold winter, the French people with rich industrial background will definitely take the opportunity to restore their strength and make a comeback."
Oh! Unlike The Prince Henry’s grandiosity and ludendorff’s complaint, this is the real strength of Ares, the invincible empire, right? !
Falkenhayn has fallen behind. He looked at the young man’s lonely but straight back, and his eyes flashed a trace of confusion.
Young people’s speeches continue.
"The best way for the Chief of Staff to deal with the Russians is to let them self-destruct. Once the European roller was already at the end of the road, the ethnic contradictions between workers, capitalists, peasants and landlords were almost irreconcilable and illusory. Before the war bonus came, these contradictions would tear this bankrupt country. We broke into the hinterland of Russia and let the Russians unite to repeat the miracle of Napoleon’s crusade. It is not as good as Poland, Austria and the North Caucasus to keep pressure on Russia and consume their resources while retaining them and let the Russians die physically!" to be continued
The second gun Chapter 12 Collapse begins (end)
(It seems that if we drag the rhythm, we have to speed up the plot, uncover the mystery and then smash the sky! )
"Haha, let the Russians die of exhaustion. This may be the simplest and rude way to recruit Slavic people!"
At 7: 00 p.m., Berlin is at night and the lights are on.
The dark corridor of the Imperial Army headquarters near Koenig Square is filled with the wet smell in the rainy season in Western Europe. Wearing black Se, the navy will walk in front of it and kick the high boots in the silent corridor. The young people echo alone, but they don’t realize that they just walked side by side. The chief of staff of the Army is still arrogant and embarrassed, and he still talks about his clumsy strategy of going west first and then east. He can’t finish writing about Wang Yang.
After all, Wang Haidi’s strategy needs history to prove that in the war, Europe’s thoughts were chaotic, people changed their minds, and everyone was drunk. I didn’t feel good when I woke up alone. Wang Haidi stopped the mouth that he caused a lot of trouble in time, so I was embarrassed to find that he was a monologue all the way.
I’m in a good mood. Wang Haidi is upright and crooked. The military hat with high eaves is full of calluses, and his hand is inserted into his trouser pocket at will to look for the figure of the army chief of staff. "
"So …" Falkenhayn’s legs seemed to be filled with lead, and if he couldn’t lift it, the army would hold the wall that was going to be moldy because of a continuous Y and N rain before, and the blue head would avoid Wang Haidi’s puzzled eyes, and his heart would still spread by inexplicable emotions.
On May 17, 1915, Falkenhayn, the headquarters of the Berlin Army, wanted to admit that the feeling of blocking his heart was shame.
The army chief of staff doesn’t know the navy, but he has visited the imperial capital ships. He knows how bad the living environment of the warships is. The vast sea seems to be strong, but it still belongs to the iron coffin. How difficult it is for the warships to fight? The army chief of staff doesn’t know the naval battle, but before the imperial high-level meeting, he could feel the iron and blood shock and the cruelty of ice and fire only from Friedrich von Ingnor and Rheinhardscher’s briefing on the sea war.
Heidi Selim, a 37-year-old young man’s empire sacrificed too much not to think about young people’s brilliant achievements, not to think about Dogel’s sandbar naval battle, three shakes, five shoulders and ten madness, and just that picture of the army headquarters drifting away in the dark corridor, J Ο ng tried his best to make Falkenhayn forget many things.
It’s true that Heidi Selim was born in Kiel Wharf. He didn’t respect Wei and the elders. He was deeply influenced by him. The navy was unruly and aggressive. But we can’t be grateful for Heidi Selim, who knows the true meaning of positional warfare and war of attrition best in the empire. When he turned around, he still shamefully criticized him for being too impatient and heretical!
