Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Following the order of Lloyd George, the John Empire began to mobilize reinforcements from Australia and the Maple Leaf Kingdom.

These two places began to form local militias, which were supplemented to support the war in the John Empire.

It has to be said that these two areas have been controlled by the John Empire for hundreds of years.

For hundreds of years, the John Empire has been immigrating to these two places, causing the indigenous people in these two places to disappear and be replaced by people from the John Kingdom.

(It is said to be immigration, but in fact it is more for the purpose of deporting and imprisoning some criminals, so the residents of these two places are relatively tough, compared to the mainland of John.)

Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about defending John's empire.

In less than a month, the John Empire recruited 50 troops in these two places.

And after simple training, he was transported to the mainland of John's empire.

After these people came to the John Empire, they just made simple supplies and pushed them to the front line to fight the Hans Empire.

But what should I say? How could these temporary recruits and soldiers who had only undergone simple training be the opponents of the Hans Empire?

In almost a month, 40% of the newly sent soldiers were killed in action.

The remaining 60% of the recruits became veterans.

Faced with such a large casualty ratio, John Empire behaved very relaxedly.

In their words, these people were originally cannon fodder. After a month of screening, not more than half of the recruits survived, which is already a very optimistic thing.

However, after the Hans Empire received assistance from Daxia, the Hans Empire, which was once again strong and strong, teamed up with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to prepare to launch a new offensive on the Western Front.

The Rakshasa Empire, which had an entire army group wiped out by the Hans Empire a few months ago, once again launched an attack on the Hans Empire after receiving material support from the Allied Powers.

This attack interrupted the Hans Empire's battle plan.

The Hans Empire, furious, once again mobilized troops from the western front and dealt a heavy blow to the Rakshasa Empire.

Near Masurian Lake, the Rakshasa Empire was once again defeated.

The battle ended with the Rakshasa Empire losing 12.5 people and the Hans Empire losing 4 people.

After the Battle of Lake Mazury, the Hans Empire turned around and returned to the Western Front. On the Western Front, together with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they conducted a large-scale battle at Verdun and the Somme River on the border of the Gallic Empire.

这场战役总计历时300多天，从1911年2月份一直打到了1911年的12月。

Both sides invested more than 100 divisions and more than one million men in Verdun, and the same was true on the Somme.

Both sides have invested more than two million soldiers in the two battles, and the battlefield has become a purgatory.

In these two battles, which are said to be the most brutal in human history, both sides used a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns.

Next to each artillery piece, there is a pile of shell casings over 3 meters tall, like a hill.

Since the Daxia Empire was the first to use a combination of barbed wire and machine guns, countries all over the world have seen the current superiority of this method of warfare.

As a result, trench warfare was widely used by the Hans Empire and the John Empire.

In order to break through the opponent's defense line, both sides can be said to have used all their means.

Both sides even dispatched airships.

When a large number of airships flew to the opponent's position and dropped bombs, the casualties of soldiers on both sides further increased.

However, airships, although they look quite powerful, can fly, drop bombs, and can even be equipped with artillery on the airship.

But this thing has a huge flaw, that is, it is easy to install.

In response to the threat of airships, both sides developed their own large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns.

With the advent of these large-caliber machine guns, the threat of airships has been barely contained.

However, after the threat of airships ceased to exist, engineers from both sides began to develop new weapons that could allow their own soldiers to pass through the other side's trenches.

Therefore, at the request of the John Empire military, John Empire engineer William Triton developed a new weapon inspired by agricultural tractors.

This weapon is heavily armored and equipped with small-caliber artillery and heavy machine guns. And can move forward at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour.

Triton named this weapon a tank.

Then in the Battle of the Somme in 1911, the John Empire put this weapon on the battlefield and broke through two lines of defense of the Hans Empire.

If it weren't for the technical failure that caused the tank to collapse, it is estimated that with the offensive power of the John Empire, it would have been able to break through the two lines of defense of the Hans Empire.

The Hans Empire, which suffered a huge loss, also began to invest its own research efforts in developing its own tanks.

Looking at the battle reports from Europe, Lin Yi looked at the imperial tank that had developed into the second generation, with disdain on his face.

The empire's tanks are now equipped with 30mm sloped armor, equipped with 37mm anti-tank guns, and have a top speed of 35 kilometers per hour.

In the face of such tanks, the so-called tanks in Europe are just iron cans that can be opened with one shot.

However, with the outbreak of these two battles, the human resources of both sides have reached their limits.

In fact, no matter the Hans Empire or the John Empire, they are not very short of materials, but there is already a big gap in manpower.

If the fight continues, it is very likely that a generation will disappear.

But the war had to continue, so both sides were considering bringing in new allies to join the war.

Therefore, the John Empire approached Millician, hoping that Millician could participate in the war.

At this time, America had not yet recovered due to the financial crisis, and the domestic economy was not doing well.

As a result, President Wilson of America decided to join the war and use the war to stimulate the domestic military industry, thereby boosting the entire American economy.

So, in February 1912, America declared war on the Allies.

In the first week after the declaration of war, a large amount of supplies and the first batch of [-]-meter troops landed on the mainland of the John Empire and began adaptive training in the John Empire.

After learning that Millican had declared war on him, William II of the Hans Empire was a little panicked.

He knew very well that at this stage, the addition of Millikin was the key point to break the balance. The strong industrial strength behind Millikin could provide massive supplies to the John Empire.

Moreover, with the addition of Mili Jian, he felt that if he no longer wanted to think of a solution, the only thing waiting for him would be failure.

Therefore, William II quickly contacted Leinster, the Hans Empire's ambassador to Daxia, and asked him to ask Daxia to fulfill the treaty. Otherwise, the Hans Empire would find a way to drag Daxia into trouble.

(These chapters are just foreshadowing, so I will only briefly write about the European battlefield. In addition, let me say it again, due to the needs of the plot, some battles and time points are not consistent with history, so don’t criticize if you don’t like it)
