Chapter 2148: The World After War Three
At the same time, in the upcoming decisive battle at sea, Ruprecht and the High Seas Fleet must also consider closing their hands in a timely manner. The Grand Fleet must lose, this is for sure, but at the same time, the remaining forces of the Grand Fleet must Keep it to a certain extent. In this way, the British Empire can at least guarantee the world's leading sea power. After this war, the German High Seas Fleet will undoubtedly become the most powerful existence on the planet. Although the British Navy has been weakened, it should still Keep more than 12 battleships.
In this world of the weak and the strong, one of the most important guarantees is that the knife in your hand is fast enough. There is still a certain number of large fleets left to face the blackmail by force at sea from any country except Germany! Neither can Americans! Let's not say whether the British will really use this power again, but holding it in their hands is a deterrent! Even if these fleets are very old, even if their performance in actual combat is not good! But, it's spot on! Do you really think that only the British made concessions in the Washington Naval Arms Treaty in history? The United States and Japan are actually making concessions! The United States has accepted a fleet size equivalent to that of the United Kingdom, largely because the British fleet is too large, and it is difficult for the Americans to catch up....
And with this fleet, the British have the confidence to continue their dream of an empire on which the sun never sets! They will not choose to surrender to the United States as a younger brother, and only in this way, the British will continue to maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and the biggest beneficiary of maintaining the Anglo-Japanese alliance is Germany! Let Germany use American funds to digest its spoils, and let the United States continue to be mired in the quagmire of war in the Far East! that is it!
After the war, France will become Germany's younger brother, the British will continue to dream of the never-setting sun, and the Japanese and Americans will fight each other in the Pacific Ocean. Part of the benefits gained in the war. Parts of the Dutch East Indies would return to the embrace of the Netherlands. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are eager to digest the fruits of their war. that is it!
Do you feel something is missing? That's right, one other world power is missing, and the name of this country is Russia! How will this country, which was scarred by Germany and Austria in World War I, but still strong and has great potential, deal with it?
Don't talk about anything else, it's natural to squeeze a wave first! Russia in this plane is much worse than in history, very much, even though the "Brest Treaty" was signed in history. But Germany knelt down within a few days of the implementation of this treaty, so it is equivalent to waste paper. Russia's red and white powers can still obtain manpower and materials in Ukraine, Transcaucasus and other regions. But on this plane? Russia is doomed to lose these areas, and although Germany has stopped advancing, an armistice agreement has not been reached between the two sides, that is to say, the possibility of war still exists!
Although, after the end of World War I, Germany was a bit lazy like a full-fledged lion and didn't want to fight, but the Russians didn't know it! Germany has not negotiated with the Russians after maintaining the current front, and according to the crown prince's plan, it will negotiate with the Russians after the end of the war with Britain and France. After all, whether it is based on history or the current situation, The civil strife in Russia didn't have 3 years or so to go unresolved at all. Once Germany frees up its hands, it will have sufficient ability to put pressure on the Russians. Of course, it will not be able to gain new territory, and it will be difficult to control it if it is occupied, but it is still no problem to pay a sum of war reparations. Occupied territory is determined by contract.
As for whether Russia can be divided? How do you say this? A little difficult. Although Russia has a vast area, the most essential part is actually Europe. Whoever can occupy here can control the whole of Russia. Judging from the current situation, both Kolchak and Denikin's White Army are already in decline.
In history, they have also received interference from foreign powers, but this time Britain and France are unable to provide help. Geographically, the German occupation zone isolates Russia.
As for whether the German army will help the White Army? Well, it really depends on the situation. It is impossible for the German army to continue to fight on a large scale. The cost of doing so is too high. And to supply Kolchak with weapons? This is possible, but the other party needs to exchange it with real money. But judging from the current situation, Germany is not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the White Army. The establishment of the Soviet Union will be irreversible unless Germany plays it personally at any cost. Therefore, Ruprecht's idea is just to take advantage of the current comparative advantage and try to take advantage of it. Dealing with the Soviet Union is a long process, take your time!
In addition, there is another factor that restricts the establishment of the Soviet Union, and that is Japan! That's right, although Japan is now facing the threat of war from the United States in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese are still considering when to take over Russia's territories including Vladivostok and Sakhalin! And in the case of a group within Russia, the Japanese did occupy part of the Far East of Russia in later generations. And this time, in addition to military occupation, the Japanese Army is also planning to destroy the Russian Siberian Railway.
The Japanese army's military quality also exceeded the crown prince's expectations, and the Japanese's newly formed rapid force forward even broke through to the vicinity of Chita! Although judging by the standards of the European battlefield, the Japanese combination of a small number of tanks, some vehicles and a large number of cavalry is really weak, but it is stronger than in history after all. The Japanese army may not be able to support the Chita front at all, but they Still destroyed all the railways from Chita to Vladivostok, stations along the way and other facilities! Ruprecht was a little surprised by this vision and action!
As for the purpose of the Japanese, Ruprecht guessed that the Japanese may have realized that some of the territories they captured during the war could not be kept, so based on the principle of making up for the losses in the south, Japan decided to attack Russia! Compared with the terrifying German-American joint fleet, the Russian Army is too weak, not to mention the psychological advantage of the Russo-Japanese War. It is understandable for the Japanese to choose to attack Russia. In the case of a conflict, Ruprecht thinks that Japan might really be able to keep Russia out of the Far East... Russia is much weaker than in history, and Japan is much stronger than in history!
Generally speaking, the Russians are Germany's long-term enemies, and to some extent they are more difficult to deal with than the United Kingdom. However, under the current circumstances, it takes the longest time for Russia to bid farewell to the war, so Rupre Hitt can take the long view. No rush!
