The capture of Baku, basically achieved Germany's ultimate goal, the entry of Chinese machinery and oil production engineers, but also let Baku's production capacity may surge, these will become the basis for the continuation of Germany's future war, living water can continue, similar to the cultural relics trade, a hammer deal, may increase Germany's strength in a certain period of time, but the oil field, foreign labor is the focus.

In December 1915, the entire European theater began to end slowly, in the third year of the war, it will also usher in the third Christmas, continuous battles, especially a large number of losses, so that all the participating countries are a little unbearable, what winter offensive and the like are no longer mentioned, even if the battle plan is set, no one to implement it, perhaps in the eyes of the staff officers, the soldiers and the army on the front line are chess pieces, which can be at their mercy, but at a specific time, Especially in the face of huge casualties and sacrifices, it is better not to fight on special days.

Both sides acquiesced, at the time of Christmas and before, to give a little space, in the winter to fight, not only to consider weapons and enemies, but also to consider the weather such a big weapon, this era of Europe, winter, not so warm.

The countries participating in the war, all taking advantage of the winter break, in the winter break, does not mean that the sword soldiers are in the warehouse, the horse put Nanshan, the fist is withdrawn in order to fight faster, more ruthlessly, with the help of a rare rest period, both sides began to examine themselves, find their weak links, increase the strong place, fell on each country, is to increase income as much as possible.

Money became the most important thing in this world war, the intensity and cost of war. Far more than one might think, even before the war. Britain, the world's financial center, will not be able to come up with its reserves. They need to find funds from all sides, so that they can train their troops and prepare for the next year. World-class wars, especially under industrial conditions, can have a minimum of influence, unless it is a strategic decisive victory. Otherwise, it will take a battle to fight, and both sides are like samurai wearing thick armor and holding sharp weapons, and they can only fight for strength under the premise that they can't find the opponent's weakness at all, and see who can't bear it in the end, and the sword breaks through the opponent's defense.

In 1915, the purpose of the German strategy was achieved. As Germany expanded, the pressure of underpopulation began to emerge, from only 700,000 square kilometers of land. By the time of the area near Kiev, which occupied Poland, it had increased to about 1.4 million square kilometers, which was equivalent to doubling the land area of Germany. Occupy Georgia and Baku, which will increase to about 2 million square kilometers. This is almost 3 times the area of Germany in front of the station, if you count the pre-Franco-Prussian War. Excluding the Lorraine region of France and the part of Poland, Germany would have had an area of less than 500,000 square kilometers.

This is also the territory of Germany in later generations, in World War I, Germany should be defeated, a large amount of territory was cut off, France took back Lorraine and other places, and supervised the Ruhr, the establishment of Poland, all of which greatly reduced Germany's land area, but this time and space, so far, Germany's land area has reached the limit.

In addition to the United States and Canada, such a unique environment in the whole world, in Europe, the country is not big, the original Germany is already the first country in addition to Russia, and now, it has expanded by 3 times, but the population is still more than 70 million, just a little more than in front of the station, this is still Germany doing everything possible to increase, and even some relatively weak kinship relations have been incorporated into Germany, and even in the future, it will cause a little bit of chaos.

How to use this land, for the time being, only to use labor from China, the Chinese labor is very good, with a minimum of workers, to ensure the cultivation of the land, and produce considerable results, the German side is more or less depressed, China is not short of labor? Why is it still output.

At this moment, I didn't think too much, I couldn't think too much, and even if I thought about it, I didn't think downward, a land of turmoil one after another, and a lot of rebellion and internal strife, and a land controlled by most of the Germans, with Chinese laborers building all kinds of factories and infrastructure, really reaching a level similar to that in Germany, everyone knows how to choose.

It is precisely because of the efforts of the Chinese that when Germany entered the third year of the European war, the industrial output value not only did not decrease, but there was a contrarian rise, as far as the total industrial volume was concerned, it reached about 189% of the pre-war 1912, an increase of almost 90%, and in less than 4 years, the growth rate exceeded 15%, which was a rapid increase for Germany, which had completed industrialization and was relatively stable. Agriculture is the same, no industry has risen sharply, has reached 130%, mainly the newly occupied Poland, Kiev and Georgian regions, these places have not been obtained, now China's production corps, has taken over this piece of land, in October this year, after the first wave of winter wheat planting, next year's agriculture is expected to increase to 200%, basically meet Germany's grain production, and even provide a part of it.

Industry and agriculture will always be the foundation of a country, and like the United States and China, the reason why they can become the core of the Entente and the Central Powers is because of their strong production capacity, and these two aspects of improvement, to a certain extent, have given Germany a shot in the arm and full of confidence in the future war.

The United States' entry into the war, in fact, cast a shadow on Germany, the world's largest industrial country, around 1900 after surpassing Germany, will be gone, the United States' huge market and industrial production capacity, absolutely make Germany vigilant, but from the United States to the present, more than a year, the United States did not show the strength of despair, and even in terms of the strength he showed, stronger than Italy, but not as good as Britain and France, the United States is too far away from Europe, the United States is very powerful, At most, three or four points will be played, and this will give Germany the opportunity to greatly reduce the production capacity of American industry as long as it strengthens submarine warfare over the entire Atlantic, and the weapons that sink to the bottom of the sea are the best weapons, and not only weapons but also ships are wasted.

Ordinary industrial products may be easily supplemented, with the scale of production capacity of the United States, guns, bullets, and even artillery can be produced quickly, but ships cannot, which is also the only large-scale industrial product that China can obtain after the Entente blockade and blockade of China, and this amount is getting bigger and bigger, unlimited submarine warfare, directly hit the sustained ability of Britain and the United States, so that the Allied army's combat effectiveness has risen very insignificantly.

The skyrocketing industry and abundant agriculture will give Germany the courage to continue fighting, and having money means having power, itself, after the start of the war, almost all of Germany's small overseas colonies have fallen, and the African colonies are also surrounded by the Entente and cannot play any role. All along, Germany has been its own soldiers, and Britain and France, the Entente countries, will use the Confederation and even the colonial army when they are short of personnel.

Germany could not rely entirely on its own army to fight the world, in the third year of the war, they also had changes, through various ways, to attract some cannon fodder, only on a small scale, by the beginning of 1916, it was only 300,000 people, their personnel composition is very complicated, there are African blacks, American blacks, and even South American people, for Germany has no outside supplements, it is a huge promotion, Germany is no longer isolated.

One after another good news, even the High Seas Fleet began to cruise, with the help of the strong strength of the High Seas Fleet, even the British Home Fleet, also reduced activities, several small-scale frictions, so that the Entente was hit, almost all the data show that in the small war with Germany, they were at a disadvantage, in this case, of course, the British will not take the initiative to provoke, not easy to touch the High Seas Fleet, under the British retreat, the German Navy finally broke through the Baltic Sea, into the North Sea, The British, on the other hand, could only resist by relying on the defense of the island chain.

However, the island chain is different from the warships, they can only be passive, the German side used the warships at the same time, but also used airships to bomb the island chain, did not completely occupy the sea dominance, but it was almost the same, on the North Sea, the Entente has been unable to guarantee the North Atlantic route in the north, only the middle line and the southern line remained, not only was it completely suppressed as before, but it was faintly suppressed by the Entente.

The good news of the army continues, and the navy is the same, the army and navy are like two wings flying together, both suppressing the Entente, as if victory is at hand, as long as the British home fleet is broken, the navy threatens the British mainland, and the army lands in Britain, everything seems to be settled, and I believe that Britain, which has not experienced war for hundreds of years, will not be able to resist the landing of the German army.

But I don't know that at the same time as the glory, Britain and the Entente are also brewing a counterattack, the first wave of counterattack, is at sea, to be precise, the first is aimed at the submarine force, in November 1915, for the army, is to occupy Georgia and Baku, to obtain Russia's most important oil producers, the set goal has achieved excellent, phased results, Germany alone relying on Baku, can have a fairly strong ability to continue fighting.

At sea, to be precise, the submarine force has suffered a huge blow, which can also be recorded in the history of naval warfare. (To be continued.) )
