Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In the Cecilienhof Palace, Emperor Wilhelm II of the Hans Empire was discussing the follow-up battle arrangements with Marshal Hindenburg.

Now that the Rakshasa Empire has withdrawn from the war, the Hans Empire can completely transfer all soldiers from the east to the western front to strengthen the offensive on the western front.

With this in mind, Wilhelm II and Marshal Hindenburg discussed hoping to launch a major campaign on the Marne and Somme rivers.

In the original history, at this stage, the Hans Empire launched the Second Battle of the Marne and the Second Somme. The scale of these two battles is so large that they can be said to be among the top-ranked large-scale battles in the world.

However, the results of these two battles ended in the defeat of the Hans Empire, and in the end the Hans Empire was completely defeated.

But things are different now. With the soldiers transferred back from the Eastern Front, the strength of the Hans Empire's Western Front has been greatly supplemented.

In the original history, the Hans Empire invested a total of more than two million soldiers in the two battles and launched two battles in succession.

The first of these, the Second Battle of the Somme, started on March 1918, 3, until the cessation of the offensive on April 21. The Hans Empire lost more than 4 people, making the Hans Empire finally The opportunity to defeat John, the Gallic coalition, and control the east coast of John Strait was lost.

The Second Battle of the Marne could be regarded as the swan song of the Hans Empire in its original history.

After this battle, the Hans Empire collapsed, and not long after, it announced its surrender.

Of course, behind these two battles, in addition to John's Empire and Gaul, there was also America behind them, constantly transfusing blood to the Allied Powers.

However, in this current time and space, the Hans Empire still has hope of victory.

The first is that the Rakshasa Empire surrendered earlier than in the original time and space, which allowed the Hans Empire to withdraw its troops as soon as possible.

You know, in the original time and space, the Rakshasa Empire surrendered after the Second Somme.

Another crucial thing is that the Millician and John empires are not as strong as they were in the original time and space. As for the reason, it’s because of Daxia.

At the beginning of the war, it defeated the Milician Pacific Fleet. In order to prevent the Great Xia Army from landing on the mainland, Milician deployed a large number of soldiers on the west coast. As a result, Milician's support for the John Empire decreased.

At the same time, it also made the John Empire consume more and become weaker in several battles.

Another point is that Daxia has already entered the Pamir Plateau and the Kingdom of Sumatra, and may break through to Tianzhu and Australia at any time. This again forced John's empire to divide its forces for defense. At least it is impossible to get support from these two areas.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, after the Hans Empire draws back its soldiers from the east, it will be stronger than the Allies.

After two days of deliberations, William II appointed Hindenburg as Imperial Marshal, responsible for commanding all soldiers on the Western Front and preparing to launch two consecutive battles on the Somme and Marne rivers.

In response to this action by the Hans Empire, George V was also preparing to mobilize troops to defend the Marne and Somme rivers.

Facing the current offensive of the Hansi Empire, George V and his Prime Minister David Lloyd George actually made a decision to strategically abandon Tianzhu and Australia.

Let these two regions rely on their own strength to resist. As for whether it can be blocked, that's up to fate.

After all, although the loss of Tianzhu and Australia was a big blow to John's empire, there was still a chance for the empire to make a comeback.

But if the mainland is lost, then Tianzhu and Australia will also be unable to hold it.

As a result, a large number of John's soldiers crossed the Strait of John and entered the Gallic Empire, and then went directly to the battlefield. This time, Empire John also brought a new weapon.

In early September 1914, Field Marshal Hans Hindenburg arrived at the front line, and both sides began preparations for the war.

On September 1914, 9, the Hans Empire assembled more than 21 artillery pieces and suddenly launched an artillery attack on the Allied positions at dawn. And at 6000 a.m. on the 21st, the Hans Empire began to release gas.

The poison gas drifted directly to the Allied positions in the direction of the wind. At the same time, the Hans Empire assembled two armies, approximately 24 men, and began a frontal attack.

Caught off guard, John's empire collapsed.

By 5 a.m. the next day, the Hans Empire had advanced 6 kilometers frontally. Defeated the frontal defense of [-] Allied soldiers.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, the Hans Empire captured the Somme River south of Peronne. On the Allied side, there were about 36 divisions in chaos.

The reason why the Allies suffered such a huge defeat at the beginning of the war was mainly because they misestimated the time when the Hans Empire would launch its attack.

Judging from the information obtained from the Allied Powers, the Hans Empire should not launch an attack until the end of September or early October.

Therefore, the Allied forces at this time did not have unified command, but who knew that all this was a smoke bomb that the Hans Empire learned from Daxia. This led to the defeat of the Allied Powers without unified command at the beginning.

But at this critical moment, the man stood up again.

On September 9, Marshal Foch of the Gallic Empire stood up and took over the command of these 26 divisions as Field Marshal of the Gallic Empire.

Then Fuxi ordered each division to defend on the spot and not to take a step back.

At the same time, a message was sent to Field Marshal Joseph Joffre, asking him to reorganize the soldiers in the rear and form a second line of defense.

Originally, Xiafei and Fuxi were still competitors, but now facing the surging attack of the Hans Empire, they put aside their personal emotions.

Marshal Joffre told Marshal Joffre that he hoped he could defend the Arthur Villers area for five days. He would build a second line of defense in the Beaufreigne and Corby areas to prevent the Hans Empire from breaking into Paris.

Fuxi could only agree to Xiafei's request, because he knew that only when the second line of defense was completed could the Gallic Empire have hope.

However, Fuxi also said that his team currently lacks various supplies and troops, and hopes that Xiafei can provide support from ten to fifteen divisions.

After receiving Fuxi's request, Xiafei directly dispatched twenty infantry divisions to the Arthurville area without saying a word. Among them was the Purple Flower Infantry Division of his grandson Oli Joffre.

An additional thing to mention here is that during the First Battle of the Marne, Joffre successfully blocked the attack of the Hans Empire, making all Gauls regard Joffre as a hero.

Also in this battle, Oli Joffre, who performed outstandingly, also received a French Medal of Freedom and was asked to take over the elite Purple Flower Infantry Division of the Gallic Empire.

Therefore, in order to stop the Hans Empire, both Fuxi and Xiafei spent their wealth this time.
