The Entente was very strange about the current state of affairs, in 1915, the third year of the war, both sides were fighting hard for victory, the Entente was like this, and the Central Powers were like this, whether it was a partial division in the Middle East or a landing in Italy, it was the Entente's efforts to achieve victory, and it seemed to have achieved results, but compared with the Central Powers, it was not an opponent at all.
The Middle East has already lost, and although it still occupies Baghdad, in the vast desert of the Middle East, they simply cannot escape. On the Italian side, originally, the Entente successfully withdrew Italy from the Central Powers and joined the Entente, thinking that it would take the initiative in the war, but the iron fence in front of the Albis Pass blocked the pace of the attack, and Italy's second battlefield only harvested a spaghetti, or a pasta that suffered great losses and could not resist at all!
Between the Allies and the Entente, military secrets are strictly observed, but the general direction, trend or something, it is impossible to say that secrecy is secrecy, there are many trends and movements, guarding the Albis Pass, at the beginning, the Entente only regarded it as the German army, but the war arose, and it was fought for a period of time, and the two sides were fighting at close range, how could it not be seen that the other party was not Caucasian.
Unlike the Entente, Germany did not have a vast colony, and even if it did, it was blockaded by the Allied Powers, and in the army sequence, a group of yellow soldiers appeared. It is still Germany's own military system that has been adopted, which is more or less telling. Even in the Middle East, Lan Fang did not hide his presence. Both goals point in one direction, and even if the Entente is stupid, it is possible to guess what the problem is, not to mention that the Entente is not stupid.
Lan Fang, the country that joined the camp of the Allies and only won Southeast Asia and did not appear again, has finally appeared. As soon as the horse came out, it was so sharp, whether it was a million-strong army in the Middle East or a million-strong army in the Albis Mountains, the Chinese people gave full play to the advantages of population, millions of people, and it came to say.
Lan Fang was only a newly established country, and it was not important in the strategy of the Entente, but now, when he set foot in the European theater. The Entente suddenly found themselves at a loss for what to do, even though Britain had an equally large India, but it was a mess, and India's soldiers were almost the worst of the colonial armies. Send it, it's better not to send it?
Painstakingly prepared actions have not had much effect. On the contrary, Germany has the upper hand, and Germany has found too good an opportunity. Before the attack on Warsaw and Kyiv, the most I felt was that the Germans had a strong ability to find opportunities. However, the continued attack even threatened Baku, an important oil city that could not afford to lose, and if possible, the British were even willing to send soldiers to help defend it, but unfortunately it was beyond the reach of the whip.
In order to let Russia drag the Chinese, Britain has made too many efforts, since 1914, it has constantly encouraged Russia, and even used bonds and money to attract, in fact, Russia did so, in two years, at least 7 million troops, such a strength, no less than the strength of the country.
But they underestimated China's strength, Russia is not China's opponent at all, the army of 7 million was killed in batches, and now Russia has not only lost a large number of troops, but also lost a lot of land in East Siberia and Central Siberia, more than 4 million square kilometers of land have actually been lost, which is also a huge loss for the vast territory of Russia, no matter how barren the land is.
If you just lose the land, for the Entente, it is not unacceptable, Russia is too big, in the past hundred years, the British have the most ideas, but also the most suppressed, that is, Russia, a huge territory, a huge population, known as the existence of the Far East steamroller, for the British continental balance policy, is definitely a huge pressure, in the past many wars, Britain and Russia are hostile, even now, Russia has joined the Entente, But the temptation and suppression still exist, both openly and secretly.
No one expected that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse, and Germany suddenly made a move on the Eastern Front, taking Warsaw and Kiev, two important large cities located in western Russia, which not only expanded the area of Germany, but also flattened the border from East Prussia to the Black Sea.
Everyone thought that this was the time when Germany planned to attack Russia next and occupy a better territory, but Germany fell silent, spent several months preparing, and suddenly crossed the Black Sea in October and took the port on the other side of the Black Sea.
In the Far East, the Chinese also followed the attack, not giving Russia the opportunity to retreat, according to the current situation, Russia is still millions of troops in Yekaterinburg, if you let them go back, for China, it will be easier to attack the Far East, when the time comes, even the whole of Siberia has the possibility of being taken, but the Chinese do not do this, they continue to attack, besiege Yekaterinburg, do not give the Russian army the possibility of retreating, this has to be said, the cooperation between them, is the cooperation between them, Germany has benefited the most.
The Black Sea Fleet rushed out, which was a manifestation of the panic of the Russian army, but it was hit head-on by the submarine, and without even showing any performance, it fled back again, and had the intention of sending troops to Georgia, but it was threatened by Germany to Belarus and the Crimean Peninsula, which is really full of loopholes.
Russia immediately asked the Entente countries, especially Britain, for help, and after the joint meeting of the Entente agreed to Russia's request for help, Britain and the United States would take the risk, and the 200,000 troops landed in Sweden in Northern Europe, plus the 150,000 troops cobbled together by Sweden, entered Russia together to help them defend Belarus, and as for Baku, they could only wait for Russia to save itself.
The weapons of war, just like that, the fall of Baku, for Russia, although it is not a catastrophe, but it is also a huge blow, has lost Poland and the Kiev region, and then lose the Crimea, the Black Sea coast and Baku, Russia's most elite, the most populous region, it is almost finished, the future of Ukraine, but the most famous granary of the Soviet Union, Baku is the money bag, if these two places fall, Russia will completely fall into the brink of collapse.
The Entente, who had ghosts in their hearts and even had their own plans, twisted into one, even if it was a stingy tsar, once again took out 50 million US dollars worth of gold from his private collection to arm the army, but unfortunately the support of the Entente took time, and under the premise that there was no way to trap Germany in the Baltic Sea, it was not an easy thing to transport 200,000 troops to Sweden, it would take time, as for Russia, from the already somewhat excessive Georgian region, How could they resist the German advance?
In order to save the fortunes of the country, not to perish, when Russia is frantically asking for help from the outside world, Germany has begun a full-scale attack, and the preparation of the German army itself is quite perfect, and it has Turkey as a backhand, of course, it is easy to attack the Russian army in the whole of Georgia, of course, this piece of land in Central and Eastern Europe, humid climate, rich in products, itself is also a densely populated area, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea intersect, raised a lot of people, these people are the German army.
Of the 300,000 German troops, at least 150,000 are dedicated to this, and with the repeated transactions with China, Germany has enjoyed the benefits of labor exports, which for the Germans represents more income.
After the army swept the whole of Georgia, only the final target Baku remained, the Germans left only 60,000 people, Baku only 30,000 defenders, an oil city, and in the Russian Forte, there was no defense at all, and there were only 30,000 defenders, under the situation of double attack, it could not be taken, and the German army responsible for attacking could hit the tofu and die, the proud Germans, with this self-confidence, as for the remaining army, there were not many losses of the German army, The most important thing is to start looting the population of this fertile land of Georgia and the Caspian Sea in the Black Sea.
More and more people are transported to China, each of them in the eyes of the Germans, represents an income of 50 US dollars per year, in the troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog, these are simply God-given wealth, one or two people are not inconspicuous, but when the number reaches the level of millions, 50 million US dollars a year, even the Kaiser must have a side, not to mention now, more than 10 million, Georgia plus Transcaucasia, is a densely populated place, all kinds of people more than 10 million, once obtained, Another $500 million a year.
To tell the truth, sending so many people to China, if it is the Northwest era, the Northwest's thirst for labor has almost reached the limit, and any labor force can be collected, but now, more than 10 million people in Belgium and southern France, more than 10 million people who conquered Paris later, plus Russia and Poland, and now Georgia, a total of more than 50 million people, almost the entire population of Germany, just these China wants, combined, need to pay 2.5 billion a year, can these people really create such a dozen values?
To be honest, even the Germans who are responsible for transporting this population are doubting whether these people can really create value, after all, this is almost the entire population of Germany, including a large number of women, children and children, and it is impossible to see that they can produce 50 dollars a year, and it is not easy to feed 50 million people after deducting their food rations.
