From East Prussia to the Black Sea, the battle line was straightened, across a distance of hundreds of kilometers, to the vicinity of the Black Sea, to occupy a vast territory, the prisoners were said to be a huge plan, and the things involved were huge, even larger than the current German territory, more than 700,000 square kilometers of land, if you want to capture it, it will take time, even if Russia is not strong enough, without a comprehensive plan, it is simply impossible to realize.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, not only a large amount of materials is needed, but also a large number of soldiers, both of which require the support of China, and at present there is only a close connection between Germany and China, whether it is the battle of the Schell fleet in Asia, or the large number of weapons that Germany imports from China, and even at present, China has secretly signed the agreement of the Central Powers, which belongs to the Central Powers, and in any respect, China is qualified to know Germany's next strategy.

After getting the report from Germany, the intelligence bureau was very excited, not that Germany and China have attracted Russia's attention, and a two-sided attack will make Russia tired, but China's battle plan for next year is enough for Russia to eat a pot.

In terms of the current relationship between Germany and Russia, Germany does not take Russia seriously, Russia is the steamroller of the Far East and one of the great powers, but after the contact at the beginning of the European war, we know that although Russia is a foreign power and a cadre in the middle, although it has the mobilization capacity of tens of millions, the rabble of tens of millions has nothing to worry about, and it is far from the United States.

In the northwest, the strongest combat method of land warfare in World War I was obtained, and Germany's military concept and degree of digestion directly made Germany's combat effectiveness reach the late stage of World War I, especially the weapons in the northwest, with a high degree of automation, and excessive consumption of various materials. However, for the improvement of combat capability, it is leveraged, and Germany has already enjoyed this benefit, with 1:3, or even 1:4 sacrifices with the Entente, if it were not for the lack of other allies. Perhaps, the Allies would have won long ago.

Now that the benefits from France have been exhausted, then, in terms of wealth, unless it is the three Nordic countries, or Russia, it is not possible to continue to attack France, for the sake of wealth, he must attack Russia.

Formerly the Northwest Bureau of Investigation. The current China Investigation Bureau has always been very clear that there are certain problems between China and Germany, and the key is trade, and the 3B railway has always had a huge problem, that is, the materials from Basra to Berlin are huge, and each car is loaded slowly. However, from Berlin to Baghdad, Basra is clearly undercapacity. It was easy to do in a short time to conquer Paris, and Paris harvested a large number of cultural relics and personnel, but after a long time, it was not possible, especially after the personnel and materials were transported, and there were many trains from Berlin on the 3B railway. In order to reduce consumption, a single locomotive comes over, or the train is empty, which is a great waste of capacity. There is also a lot of waste on the ship, there is nothing else except to transport people, and when the people are finished, it is even more empty, and it will go to Southeast Asia, and bring some things back by the way.

The key to trade is stability, after entering the colonial era, many wars, in fact, were opened by unbalanced trade, for example, the Opium War, Britain did not plan to use opium to do business, but it seems that the industrial level and industrialization level are much higher than China's, but there is no necessary product in China, but it is China's silk, tea and porcelain, which has become a bestseller in Europe.

The British could not take advantage of it, not only did they not get the dividends generated by trade, but because of trade problems, they thought of using opium to make profits, which also led to the Opium War and plunged China into sinking.

From Yang Yuanzhao to the beginning of this era, the layout of Baotou, and the construction of a larger industrial base than the Ruhr, a few years, with the help of the all-in-one machine, under the efforts of the entire Chinese nation, the foundation has been formed, at present, not afraid of Germany and China to turn face.

If there are no sequelae, taking a shortcut is always stronger than a detour, the current situation, this is also a waste for the 3B railway, trade has made China make money, but looking at the large reduction of Germany's treasury, even if there is a demographic dividend, it is also somewhat unsuitable.

Domestic think tanks thought of a lot of ways, and finally one person mentioned Baku, Basra as a bridgehead for China to go deep into the Middle East, but before the war ended, the northwest was not ready to detonate the powder keg of the Middle East, they slowly operated the Middle East, and they already had a certain foundation in the Middle East without others paying attention, and now, if it is detonated, it is not China that will get the benefits, but many powers, and in the case of large enough interests, maybe the European powers will put down something, The common one is aimed at the big fat meat of the Middle East.

Baku, even during World War II, has enough effect, it is a large oil field of international level, if Germany can get it, relying on the population economy and oil, although Germany will not be able to smooth the trade balance with China, it will also be able to balance the trade relationship with China.

After several years of development, China has started from scratch in the field of diplomacy and has gradually come to this day, with mature diplomatic relations, and even the intelligence services have planned to use some methods to remind Germany that Germany is now sending it to the door.

reported to Yang Yuanzhao, and at the plenary congress with the fastest speed, a resolution was passed, and the personnel and weapons and equipment supporting Germany were directly given the green light, and a large delegation was sent to Germany, mainly mentioning the matter of Baku.

How smart the Germans are, as soon as China mentions Baku, especially the 3B railway, he understands that attacking Russia, land is only a part, all kinds of human resources are also icing on the cake, billions of dollars of funds, for the rise of the European war, the daily consumption is astronomical for Germany, can not be regarded as a drop in the bucket, but it cannot meet Germany's strategic objectives, only by holding Baku's oil in his hands, not only the high seas fleet will no longer be affected, even Germany can get more benefits from the middle.

Trade is a link between any two countries, but the relationship between Germany and China, the factor of trade is gradually decreasing, and China hardly needs any manufactured goods in the world. In the past, there were transactions in machinery and equipment, but with the saturation of these products, these transactions gradually decreased, and now Germany, which can only rely on the labor of captives, is balanced on the books. However, there is still an imbalance in terms of capacity, resources, and even money, which Germany has always been unwilling to see.

An industrial country is reduced to an export of services, even if the value of this export is very high, which Germany is not willing to see. The Germans do not want to reverse this result all the time, but unfortunately China has a lot of land and resources, and there is nothing missing, and now, the opportunity has come, as long as Baku is taken, oil will become the most important product of German exports, the product of oil cracking. It can be called an industrial product.

Russia is nothing, before the war. Germany did not take Russia into account, and even after conquering Paris, a plan was to completely occupy Russia and eliminate the pressure on the Eastern Front.

After this plan was known to the northwest, Yang Yuanzhao was shocked and directly sent someone to warn Germany. Russia's greatest advantage is never its ability to mobilize, and tens of millions of rabble, that is, millions of troops are involved, but Russia's land area is a problem. With such a huge territory, it is not possible to take it down.

Before the war, this warning was nothing, Germany at most took this as a joke, but when attacking France, it was found that the long territory will have a series of impacts on logistics and battles, especially those who have already tasted the sweetness, on the road of automated weapons, Germany is getting deeper and deeper, and the pressure on logistics is on a higher level, thousands of miles, or even farther away, and the country with almost half a year of freezing period, for logistics, it is simply a nightmare.

Under such circumstances, of course, Germany would not have the idea of destroying Russia, that would be impossible. Russia can't occupy it all, and the threat on the Eastern Front can't be completely lifted, but for Germany, the benefits are to be occupied, Russia has such a weak force, but it occupies such a huge territory, how can it not move for a while,

It turns out that Poland and Ukraine are the essence of Russia, just from East Prussia, after occupying this area, it is considered to lay the foundation for the future, across the entire Black Sea, across the sea from here, is the most important region of Russia at present, Azerbaijan in the future, in the current Germany, belongs to the Transcaucasus, is an oil producing area, the peak era accounted for 9 percent of European exports and more than 6 percent of the world.

In addition to Poland and Ukraine, Transcaucasia is also a traditional grain-producing region of Russia and is densely populated. In other countries, the dense population is synonymous with resistance to a certain extent, but in the agreement signed with China, tens of millions of people have an annual income of hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars, which is for nothing.

The Entente and the Allies, the two blocs fought in Europe, and during the winter break, they were slowly rectifying, both sides were calculating each other, but the final result was the same, Germany's ultimate goal was Azerbaijan, for Baku on the coast of the Caspian coast, which was the largest huge oil field even in the world, and the purpose of the Entente was the Middle East, the richest place in the world with oil reserves, and the two were almost bordered.

Azerbaijan is in the northeast of Turkey, he borders Stalin's hometown Georgia, Iran in the south, Iraq in the south, coincidentally, Baku is currently the world's largest oil field location, and the Middle East, where Iraq is located, is also the oil core of the world, most of the world's proven reserves of oil, are distributed in this small area with the Middle East as the core, the shortest distance between Azerbaijan and Iraq, is only a few hundred kilometers, in the world pattern, it is already close.

As if inadvertently, the core of the entire First World War has slowly shifted from Europe to Asia, whether it is Baku or Iraq, which has become the focus of changes in the pattern of relations.

Compared with the British plan, which was about to be carried out at the beginning of 1915, Germany's plan, a little bit behind, everyone knows that throughout the winter, Russia mobilized millions of troops, this time to attack, it is simply to absorb Russia's power into Europe, Germany is not afraid, but it is very troublesome, knowing that their purpose is the Far East, or wait until they arrive in the Far East, according to Germany's understanding of China, Russia is not to say millions of troops, even if it has mobilized tens of millions of troops, The impact on the northwest is also minimal, China has shown enough strength in the past battles, even if Russia is desperate, it will not be China's opponent, taking advantage of Russia's great losses, that is the best choice.

The great powers of this era, without the superficial efforts of later generations, should take into account the international influence, and there are only real interests between countries, extending East Prussia to the Black Sea coast, occupying the richest land in Russia, and then taking Baku, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, further weaken Russia, and obtain a stable and huge oil production area, the most important thing is that oil can not only supply the German army, so that all the ships of the German army will not lie down, but can also be exported to China.

Use this to stabilize the trade between the two sides, obtain huge funds, and by the way, completely weaken Russia, if Russia does not have Baku, without the original Polish region, without Ukraine, what else does he have, I am afraid that this country will fall into a stormy situation in an instant.

At this time, the Russian General Staff, the War Department, and even the top of the military are all qualified commanders, perhaps they did not see it at the strategic height, the Northwest has already been mentioned, and it took them a short time to figure out everything, Azerbaijan is far away, and if you want to go from Germany, you need to occupy East Prussia to the Black Sea coast first, and then cross the Black Sea to Azerbaijan, but Baku is in the easternmost part of Azerbaijan, near the shore of the Caspian Sea, which is equivalent to crossing the land between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and it is far away from Russia, However, the 3B railway was built to Istanbul, and then through the Turkish road railway, it is not difficult to get to Azerbaijan, as long as it passes through Iran.

Iran in this era, because of oil, was still controlled by the British, but it was near the capital and port of Iran, near Azerbaijan, and Iran was the least important place, and it was not difficult to pass through it.

A series of plans were made, and far-reaching plans even included an attack by ships from East Prussia to the Black Sea coast, along with the Turkish attack, to take Baku as quickly as possible. (To be continued.) )
