Thanks to the book friend Aurora For the tip!
The sudden change in the situation on the battlefield in the kingdom of Billys can be said to have stunned the whole world.
You know, before the outbreak of war, almost all the countries thought that the Germanic Empire had a small chance of winning. After all, the Germanic Empire had only one ally, Austria-Hungary, and they wanted to adjust almost all the old powers with the power of two countries.
In particular, the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Gaul And the Tsarist Empire were all traditional powers.
But what was not expected was that the war had only just begun, and the Germanic Empire had won a major victory in the territory of the Kingdom of Belgium with lightning speed. Once the Germanic Empire completely annihilated the Allied Forces in the Kingdom of Pyllis, the entire Coalition would be severely damaged.
The sun on the other side of the strait does not set on the top level of the empire, and it is also sad and bleak.
In particular, the Imperial Expeditionary Force also had a group army trapped in the battlefield of the Kingdom of Belgium, and it was in danger.
The Misty Capital, the Prime Minister’s Office, and Prime Minister Asquith had a gloomy face, and they didn’t seem to think that the war had just begun, and that the Empire would suffer such a crushing defeat before the sun set.
“Your Excellency, is there any way to rescue the 1st Expeditionary Force?” That’s a whole two hundred thousand imperial lads. If all the losses were lost on the battlefield of Billys, it would inevitably have a great impact on the morale of the people. Prime Minister Asquis asked.
Count Kitchina was the new Minister of War, a native of the Army, who had earned the rank of Field Marshal and commanded many wars. For example, he commanded the Second Boer War.
To make him Minister of War was to hope that he would bring a victory to the Empire of the Rising Sun.
But what I didn’t expect was that the failure would come so quickly.
Originally, the anti-war movement in the Empire was very high, and even not all the ministers in the cabinet supported the war with the Germanic Empire. If the battle is lost, it is conceivable how many people will oppose it.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Germanic offensive was so fierce that it was beyond our expectations. In this battle, they invested a total of 1.2 million troops. Although, the Allied side invested more troops than the Germans. But unfortunately, whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or the support firepower, we are far behind them.
In addition, the Germans also used a large number of new weapons in warfare. They were equipped with a large number of mortars to provide fire support directly to their infantry. They are equipped with a very large number of light and heavy machine guns. Even light artillery was equipped to the infantry squad level.
More importantly, they used a lot of aircraft in the war, as well as a steel weapon called a tank.
This makes it difficult for our armies to resist their attacks.
Now, the most important thing was no longer to save the army that was surrounded in the kingdom of Belgium, but how to resist the next attack of the Germans. Once the Germans continued their attack southward, they could invade the territory of Gaul. And if the Gauls could not resist, the entire northern part of Gaul would fall. This would wreak havoc on the strength of the Gaul state.
It even forced the Gaulish state to surrender to the Germans again after heavy losses, thus withdrawing from the war.
If that happens, it will be a disaster for us. We alone could not resist the Germans on the battlefields of the Western Front.
At that time, the Germans would be able to transfer their main forces to the eastern battlefield, defeat the Russian Empire in one fell swoop, and lock in their victory on the land battlefield. ”
Count Kitchener expressed his opinion.
The faces of the ministers of the Empire who never set on the sun became very ugly.
“Your Excellency, that is to say, not only the Gauls are in crisis, but even we are in crisis.” Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George said.
Count Kitchener nodded, “Yes, sir! This is indeed our crisis. Once the Germans had won the land war, they would have dominated the entire European continent. We can no longer compete with them. ”
“Well, Your Excellency, What shall we do now?” In any case, the Gauls cannot lose this war, and we must help them hold on. Prime Minister Asquis said.
Obviously, to help the Gauls now is to help themselves.
This truth is understood by all the high-ranking people of the Empire that never sets.
“Your Excellency, the Gallics are slow to mobilize, and they have now mobilized only more than a million troops. There are also a large number of recruits in training, while there is a lack of weaponry. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Gauls are already expanding production and ordering from the lighthouse nation. However, it will take time for these issues to improve.
Until then, we need to put more troops on the battlefield, stabilize the front, and buy more time for the Gauls. As long as they could hold out, the Gauls would mobilize more troops into the battlefield to resist the Germanic attack. Even launched a counterattack and invaded the territory of the kingdom of Billy.
Of course, we must also actively develop new weapons. Whether it’s an airplane or a tank, we need equipment too. This will give us a better chance of winning against the Germans in the future! ”
Count Kitchener said.
“Your Excellency, do you mean that in addition to the 3rd Army of the Expeditionary Force, which is being sent to the European continent, we need to send more troops as soon as possible?” Prime Minister Asquith frowned.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. The 4th and 5th Armies of the Expeditionary Force were to speed up their formation and be dispatched to Gaul in the shortest possible time. In addition, the expeditionary force needs to form more troops. It would be better to mobilize another one million men so that the size of the expeditionary force reached two million. In this case, maybe we have a greater chance of winning! Marshal Kitchener said.
One by one, the ministers of the Empire widened their eyes.
The Empire did not attach importance to the army, and the navy was their foundation.
Now, to mobilize two million troops, and to send them to the European continent to protect the Gauls, naturally made it difficult for them to accept.
Prime Minister Asquith hesitated slightly, but made up his mind.
“When we send our troops to defend the Gauls, we are defending ourselves. From now on, the War Department should start mobilizing new troops. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Education was in contact with the Russian Empire, and we needed them to launch an attack on the Eastern Front and contain the Germans! ”
“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” Count Kitchener and Edward Gray both answered.
