August 7, 1714, Germanic Empire, Bo Lin, General Staff.
“Your Majesty, at present we have declared war on each other, the Kingdom of Gaul, the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Billy, and we are already in a state of war. All countries have begun a national mobilization and are frantically expanding their armies. We, along with our allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, are also expanding their armies. Everything is in a state of combat readiness.
The first expanded forty infantry divisions of the Imperial Army have been expanded and integrated into the various armies. Plans for the second batch of an expanded hundred infantry divisions have already begun. A large number of reservists and young people are joining the army. It is expected that soon we will form one army group after another. ”
The Secretary of State of the Army, Admiral Von Falkenhain, reported.
After the outbreak of the war, the war machine of the Germanic Empire was already running rapidly.
A large number of resources were processed by the factory and turned into weapons and equipment, which were handed to the young men of the Germanic Empire, so that they could become heavily armed warriors, so that they could fight on the battlefield and win victory for the Germanic Empire.
August nodded, his mood equally agitated and nervous.
After all, he knew very well the end of another time-space Germanic empire. Even with his great efforts, he did not dare to assert that he would be able to change the fate of the Germanic Empire.
If he fails, his fate will never be much better.
Therefore, August also gambled on his own fate.
“What about the Navy?” August asked.
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Royal Navy has dispatched its fleet to blockade the Empire’s coastline. The Empire’s overseas transport lines have been completely cut off. With the exception of the Far East Fleet led by Count Franz von Schpe, the rest of the navies had already returned to the Empire itself. Count Spey requested an attack on the sea transport lines of the Sun And the Fallen, and launched a battle against them. Then, at the right time, the Imperial Navy dispatched them to return to the Empire itself. Marshal Tirpitz said.
“Tell Count Spey that he is free to move. However, put your own safety first. If they are surrounded and suppressed by the people who do not set in the sun and cannot resist, they will find a way to withdraw to the country. The Imperial Navy would do its best to meet them. August said.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Count Tirpitz replied.
“Until the latest batch of capital ships of the Imperial Navy is completed, the Imperial Navy must avoid a decisive battle at sea without falling on the same day. However, this did not mean that the Imperial Navy would do nothing and be reduced to a fleet of presence. It took the Empire a great deal of financial and material resources to build such a powerful fleet. If that’s the case, it’s a waste. Heavy cruisers and light cruisers can be dispatched to form a squadron of broken engagements, secretly breaking through the blockade of the sun that does not set, entering the Atlantic Ocean, and carrying out combat operations against the people who do not set on the sun. If necessary, even battlecruisers could be dispatched.
In addition, the Imperial Navy was equipped with a large number of submarines, which could also be all sent to the Atlantic. The sun never sets on the surface fleet to cut off the Empire’s sea transport lines. The Imperial Navy then destroyed their sea lines of transport with underwater fleets, completely encircling them and turning them into several real islands. I’d like to see what they do to us when the time comes!” ”
Auguste ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Marshal Count Tirpitz replied.
“Your Majesty, if we can launch an offensive against the Kingdom of Dammay and occupy the whole kingdom of Damai. Then, if the sun does not set, it will not be so easy for people to block us. Prince Heinrich advised.
At another time, Prince Heinrich also made this suggestion to Wilhelm II.
Unfortunately, Wilhelm II did not take this advice. This caused Prince Heinrich to resign as commander of the High Seas Fleet in anger.
However, in this time and space, Auguste was not prepared to reject this proposal.
Because the annexation of the kingdom of Damai was of great benefit to the Germanic Empire. This would change the dilemma that the coastline of the Germanic Empire would be easily blockaded. The Germanic Imperial Navy could easily enter the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean.
“The Empire can wait for an opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Damai. Not now, though. The Imperial Army first had to deal a heavy blow to the Sun and Gaul on the battlefields of the Western Front. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Damai would be neutral after all. If the Empire attacked them, it would cause great turmoil. August said.
The kingdom of Damai was a small country with a population of less than three million people.
If the Germanic Empire were to attack the kingdom of Damai, it would be very easy.
But the biggest problem was that the Kingdom of Damai was neutral, and if the Germanic Empire attacked the neutral countries, it would inevitably put everyone in danger in the remaining neutral countries. If these neutral powers were thus pushed to the side of the Entente, the Germanic Empire would be in real trouble.
Don’t forget, the lighthouse countries on the other side of the ocean are also neutral.
Auguste did not want the Lighthouse to intervene prematurely in the war, especially by joining the Entente and becoming an enemy of the Germanic Empire. In that case, it would be even more difficult for the Germanic Empire to win the war.
Prince Heinrich nodded, and he understood.
Of course, if the Germanic Empire could win a victory on the battlefield on the Western Front, it would seriously damage the Empire and the Gaul Empire. At that time, you will be able to find an excuse to invade the Kingdom of Damai.
At that time, naturally no country would have made an enemy of the Germanic Empire for the sake of a kingdom of Damai.
This world, after all, is very realistic, and the exchanges between countries are even more so, more for the sake of profit!
“Are all the units of the Imperial Army ready?” Are war supplies on the front lines ready? August asked.
“Your Majesty, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Armies of the Imperial Army have been deployed in the northern and eastern parts of the Kingdom of Belgium, respectively. The 7th Army was also deployed on the Empire’s border with Gaul. The 9th and 10th Armies have been deployed to the eastern border. The units of the 8th Army were ready to reinforce the front. In addition, the newly formed units of the Imperial Army are also in intensive training, and will soon be able to form group armies one by one and throw themselves into battle! Admiral Moltke Jr. reported.
“Very well, if that’s the case, then let’s officially launch an attack in three days!” Auguste ordered.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The military generals of the Germanic Empire answered.
