Everything develops. For example, Robert Lansing used the current German army to imagine the German army four years ago. This is definitely something that slave owners cannot agree with. If everyone thinks so, it can be directly traced back to the world's first great empire.

Go up to the ancient Persian Empire.

The previous wars were fought beautifully, but it was useless. Standing and dying, kneeling and dying, it was the same for the people who died. It was easy to die but it was difficult to survive.

"Since last year, the Black Gold Company has helped France transport Vietnamese to the battlefield, with a total of more than 100,000 people. In French Africa, a lot of cannon fodder has also been transported through the Atlantic route. As for the British, they have the largest fleet in the world. This kind of thing

I don’t need to worry about it. I heard that in the United States of Brazil, the British fleet is also ready to help.” Sheffield flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, “It’s not that difficult. The United States of Brazil has only 60,000 soldiers in the country. It can be shipped in a month.

It’s over.”

You can't blame the slave owners for looking down on Brazil. It is a fact that Brazil has 60,000 troops. This does not mean that it is placed in Europe. Even if it is placed in Asia, it will not be among the top five. Not counting the Ottoman Empire, which has already participated in the war, and the United States of Brazil.

The army is probably on the same level as Thailand. In China, it is not even a big warlord, but only a small warlord.

From the current point of view, the Kaiser's Offensive has indeed beaten the British and French forces on the Western Front to their knees, but this does not mean anything. Since 1917, strikes have occurred one after another in Germany, with a total of hundreds of strikes involving more than one million people.

Participate. Although Sheffield tried its best to help Germany supplement its agricultural shortcomings before the war, it was only a temporary measure, and the grain reserves could only support one year of high-intensity war.

Now Germany is holding on to its last strength. Once the offensive is frustrated, all that is left is to wait for despair to arise within Germany and no longer support the continuation of the war.

"With our support, the balance of the war has been completely tilted. If we did not join the war, the Allies and the Entente would still have a fight." Sheffield's legs bounced, seeming to express his master's joy, "That is no longer the case.

The era in which a country's fate could be determined by just one battle has passed since the Battle of Waterloo."

In fact, the reason for meeting with Secretary of State Robert Lansing is not that Sheffield insists on guiding the Democratic government, but that Robert Lansing and the current President Wilson are not compatible in some aspects, whether it is a personality incompatibility or not.

Regardless of whether they had different ideas, Robert Lansing himself was very opposed to President Wilson's Fourteen Points.

Although President Wilson looked at people as a scholar, he was actually a very strong person in private. This is why Sheffield rarely met with Wilson after he became president. Everything was done through the president's son-in-law, the Treasury Secretary.

To do it, in the face of the president's style, the slave owner constantly changed his attitude. This can be regarded as his true adulthood and understanding of the nature of the relationship between monopoly capitalists and politicians.

Now is the time of war. Sheffield also wants to have a better relationship between the Secretary of State and the President and try to mend the rift between the two, because since entering the war, the federal government's war budget has soared from the previous 3% to 10%.

Seven, although it cannot be compared with the ratio of 40 to 50% between the two major camps, a large part of this money fell into the hands of the United Company, especially after the formation of the expeditionary force.

When it comes to fighting large-scale wars, the Army is the real gold-swallowing behemoth. Even Britain's war expenditures and the British Expeditionary Force's military expenditures far exceed the world's number one Royal Navy.

"Our president attaches great importance to authority, but this is not a big problem." Sheffield, as a member of the Democratic National Committee, tried to mediate the relationship between the two Democratic giants.

Although there is no shortage of successful people from the civil class in the United States, most of them are heroes and heroes. The daughter of President Benjamin Harrison’s Secretary of State is the wife of Robert Lansing. Now she has two nephews, John Foster

· Dulles would be Secretary of State decades later, and his younger brother Allen Dulles would be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

In the future, if the major banana republics in Central America show any disrespect to the United States due to the emergence of the Soviet Union, they may need the help of these two brothers.

"Actually, we are currently negotiating with the Italian government, and the results are quite good." Robert Lansing suddenly spoke mysteriously. Obviously, this is a major event currently underway.

"There are still 300,000 Italian troops on the Western Front. Can the Italians make up their mind?" Sheffield was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising that the strength of the Kingdom of Italy can perform like this in a world war.

He has already done his duty faithfully, so it’s not surprising that he was the first one to back out.

If you, as a member of the Allied Powers, are the first to withdraw from the war, you may be able to obtain a good condition and avoid paying a huge price, or you may be able to obtain relatively favorable conditions.

Although they were a little embarrassed, the two also talked about post-war issues. This was also where Robert Lansing and Wilson had different opinions. But when it came to the specific issue of Germany, the two had very consistent opinions and should not overly weaken Germany.

Not only do politicians and their fellow monopoly capitalists agree on this point, but even slave owners know that the British think the same way.

It's still the old routine of continental balance of power. It's just that the British want to contain France after the war, and the United States wants to contain Britain and France at the same time. There are mountains higher than the mountains. The war has not yet ended, and the nastiness has begun.

The real American powers used civil and military attacks to intimidate the water-filled American powers, fed back the good news to London and Paris, and promised to transport 50,000 soldiers to Europe every month. However, Britain and France did not know where to start.

They were just black soldiers for four months. As for the next batch of soldiers, the principle was not to let the gays die first.

We must know that the transportation network, economy and population of the United States are all clearly dominated by the north. With this basic condition, it is very normal to mobilize the places with higher efficiency first, so it is best to send soldiers who can be easily concentrated to the battlefield first.

A very reasonable choice.

They will wait until the Yankees are fully mobilized before mobilizing the Dixies, but Sheffield estimates that the war will be over by then. The German Kaiser Offensive will only take half a year to a year. This is based on maximum estimates. In fact, history

The Emperor's offensive lasted from March to July, which was only four months.

Sheffield's estimate was correct. The Emperor's offensive this time was indeed more violent than in history. Within a month of the offensive starting, it was almost a reappearance of the scene in 1914 when the German army marched in.

The fierceness of the offensive launched by the German army surprised the British and French forces. It did not look like a tired division after four years of fighting. With the help of the Austro-Hungarian, Italian and Bulgarian legions, the Allied forces with the German army as the core attacked fiercely, almost

The Allied Powers camp was almost unable to resist.

At such a dangerous time, the anxious British and French allied forces almost ignored the gentleman and romance, and exposed the true nature of imperialism. The French command immediately ordered the formation of a supervisory team, and at the same time sent colonial troops from all over the battlefield to the battlefield.

"Once the North African and Vietnamese armies retreat behind the front lines, they will be killed without mercy." Similar orders were immediately passed to all French troops, and almost at the same time, the British Expeditionary Force also issued similar orders, and at the same time pushed 300,000 Indian troops to the front line.

The British native troops supervised the battle behind the Indian Army.

The German army began to put its breakthrough point in Flanders. In the past, the German army designed the George Plan with the intention of capturing the southern Yipu'er area. However, during this battle, the German army fully upgraded this plan because all combat plans were

There was only one purpose - to drive the British out of the war.

The Sixth Army quickly broke through the defense lines of the British and Portuguese armies. With the assistance of the Fourth Army, Messier Ridge was captured by the Germans, and Ypu'er also fell. The Germans were within easy reach of the railway hub of Hazebruck.

, once this place falls, the British army will face catastrophe.

The actions of the German army put the British Expeditionary Force on the verge of a formidable enemy. On the one hand, it sent reinforcements, and on the other hand, the Canadian Legion, which was currently the best performing among the colonial armies, entered the battlefield in the hope of withstanding the German offensive.

On another battlefield, the situation of the French was better. France mainly faced the attacks of the Austro-Hungarian Army, the Bulgarian Army and the Italian Army on the southern front, because the German Army Group on the southern front was taking a short rest and lost Germany.

The Allied forces, mediated by Habitat, had some problems.

What comforted Britain and France in April was that an American expeditionary force had arrived on the battlefield one after another, and the first ship of the Brazilian expeditionary force had also arrived, which gave the Allies a shot in the arm as they struggled to resist the German attack.

"The weather seems to be abnormal this spring. Many soldiers in the army are sick?" In the French command post, a French general in his late sixties said to Marshal Pétain, who was already the commander-in-chief of the French Army, "Marshal,

Your lung disease was very serious during the Battle of Verdun, so you must be careful."

"No, there is nothing unusual about the weather this year." Marshal Pétain frowned upon hearing this, "How many soldiers on the battlefield are sick?" Pétain is already over sixty years old and is extremely sensitive to the climate.

How could he not feel that the weather was abnormal? He thought for a moment and asked, "How many sick soldiers are there?"

"Judging from the report, there are many, and it even affects the combat effectiveness of some troops." The general nodded.
