German submarines were dealt a huge blow, more than a hundred submarines were sunk, which was equivalent to several times the losses of previous years, and the Seawolf tactics were almost facing extinction. The current war situation, involving the whole body, and the failure of the sea wolf tactic, not only means that the attack on the Entente is weakened, but also means that in the next time, the combat effectiveness of the British and American armies will be greatly improved.

Before the First World War, it was a strong army and reasonable tactics, but in the First World War, both sides had discovered that the war was fought with logistics, resources, and money. If you don't have money, you don't have weapons, you don't have an army, even if you have a strong force now, you don't have enough supply capacity and the ability to continue arming, and when this powerful force is finished, what will be left.

Take the data summarized by the German General Staff show that from the beginning of the war to the present, the focus of the entire European war is on the Western Front, the reason why Germany can occupy the advantage is because the combat effectiveness of the troops is strong, and this combat effectiveness has little to do with the degree of training and officer density2, and even more, was the fact that every German division was strong enough to pour steel per unit of time. It is two to three times more than that of other countries, and such a pour is a direct comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides. After all, man cannot compare with steel, when facing a storm formed by steel. It can only be consumed by each other.

Compared with before, before getting the mention of the northwest, a German division was equipped with 24 to 48 artillery pieces, about 24 Maxims, which was also the beginning of the war, the British, French and American armies were generally like this, facing nearly 1,000 Maxims and hundreds of artillery pieces, almost one division is equivalent to the heavy firepower of 10 divisions of others, such a battle. Germany is invincible.

War is always the fastest developing in all aspects, and Britain, France, and the United States, in the course of fighting Germany head-on, easily noticed the firepower of the German divisions, and even changed them because of this. The pressure on logistics is enormous, a Maxim, on the battlefield, in the midst of fierce battles. The number of bullets consumed is countless times greater than that of rifles, and Britain and the United States have also evaluated in detail if they want a division to reach the level of a German division. The logistical pressure on each division will increase by about 3-4 times, and such a consumption is unacceptable.

The United States is strong even if it is industrially strong. But it is not unlimited, almost the consumption of the entire Entente with the United States alone. This is very difficult, but with the United States changing from an ordinary economic state to a wartime economic state, the United States has almost expanded its arms production capacity several times, and almost a large part of the entire national economy has been put on weapons production, and the total amount can support a considerable part of the military modification.

The reason why they did not do this is very simple, the capacity is insufficient, itself, the capacity of the Entente is the best in the whole world, even if the United States produces more weapons and equipment, it can be transported, but they encountered Germany's unreasonable unlimited submarine warfare, countless submarines, deep into all corners of the North Atlantic, like wolves attacking every merchant ship, the loss of the North Atlantic North, the loss of the Entente is huge, whether it is the loss of weapons, ships, or even seafarers, so that the United States can not continue, It is only possible to upgrade the equipment of the troops within a limited range, otherwise, a logistical problem will be dead.

Now, the United States uses sonar, which greatly restricts the movement of sea wolves, although there is no way to increase the transportation volume in a short time, but after a long time, with the continuous accumulation of ships, the transportation volume will be higher and higher.

After all, before, the monthly loss of tonnage was already greater than the tonnage produced, and the volume of the Entente was slowly declining, and now, when the monthly loss is controlled to a certain extent, the number of the Entente's transport fleet is under a positive growth situation, and at most one year, the combat effectiveness of the Entente will be much higher than now.

World war, the war under the conditions of modernization, is not the number of famous generals on both sides, in fact, the modern war, almost the ability of the famous generals to the minimum, what both sides need, is the real strength, when there is no way to kill the other side with one punch, you can only be patient to attack, reduce the opponent's defense, and finally the capital is enough, you can hold on to the end.

The appearance of a sonar has completely changed the pattern of submarines, and if it were not for the threat of the German High Seas Fleet to the Allied fleets and the abolition of a North Atlantic route, I am afraid that the situation would have worsened, and perhaps in one winter, it would be able to replenish all the consumption of the Entente, and countless arms would have been transported to Europe through the North Atlantic route.

When the loss of the submarine was reported to the Admiralty and Germany began to shrink the submarine, the joy of taking Baku disappeared at once, and the greater challenge continued, but fortunately it was already winter, and if this happened in the summer, they would immediately be greeted by wave after wave of fierce attacks by the Entente, which was the most terrible.

The German side could not take care of anything else, taking advantage of the winter break, urgently met with Foreign Minister Lan Fang, and after some negotiations, Germany withdrew most of the army and only retained 2 divisions of the army to protect Baku, as for the rest, many cities from Sochi to Georgia, were handed over to Lan Fang, and they were busy defending.

Whether it is a war in the Middle East, or a battle in the Albis Pass, Lan Fang has used real combat power, showing his strength, in the eyes of Germany, China and Lan are one, in China there is no way to clearly join the allies, and China is the best choice, although it is impossible to give direct help to Germany like China, but in terms of basic combat, it is more reliable than other countries of the allies.

After handing over Baku's side to Lanfang, Germany began to withdraw its troops, this land that exists almost like an enclave, except for Baku, the others have little meaning to Germany, as long as Baku is held, the others are almost fine. Extending from the 3B railway to Baku, the speed at which China builds the railway, more than 1,000 kilometers, also takes half a year, by the way, the protection problem is also handed over to Lan Fang, Russia is beaten very badly, there should be no problem with Turkey and Lan Fang, and even if there is a chance, Germany will be in 1916, together with Lan Fang, jointly launched a robbery against Russia, and Russia may be even more miserable at that time.

Turkey's for Germany just stopped at Baku's side, it is also very welcome, this is the Turkish land that was once occupied by Russia, Germany snatched back in the hands of Russia, it is normal, even if Germany eats the most abundant Baku, no way, the situation is stronger than people, Turkey has no way to take back the occupied territory from Russia, this time with the help of Germany in front, only to recover hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, that is to say, if Germany further expands, for Turkey, It is also helpless, even if you don't want to swallow it, there is Germany on top of Baku, they can retreat and attack, even if it is from Turkey along the shore of the Caspian Sea, all the way to Baku, this section of the way, Turkey can recover a lot of territory, and then along Baku, Georgia, you can also hold, very convenient.

Turkey's careful thinking, Germany doesn't care, the army began to fortify on the side of Kyiv, Russia is currently a very weak country, but the limit of the country that can mobilize tens of millions of troops must be defended in advance, Baku's occupation is equivalent to hitting his lifeblood, without Baku's oil, Russia's finances are not rich, and even the entire Entente will have problems with the use of oil, although in this era, oil is not the main reason for dominating the victory or defeat of the war.

According to the intelligence department, Russia has been integrating the army, and they are doing their best to once again rectify the 3 million army, probably all countries in the world, on the premise of losing 7 million troops, still have more than a few million mobilization capabilities, the whole world except China, only Russia.

Fortunately, the submarine war took place at about the same time as the operation against Baku, otherwise it would have had an impact on the strategic intentions of the German side, and now the goal has been achieved, on the side of Baku and Georgia, nearly 10 million people have been obtained, plus oil and other harvests, in 1915 the days should be good, winter is coming soon, if the Entente wants to prepare, on the European continent, to start a large-scale war, it also needs to wait until the spring of 1916, there is still a minimum of 5 months to prepare, Confident Germans, never worried about defeat on the battlefield of the army.

The German side squeezed out, it should be possible to squeeze out a certain amount of troops, Chinese laborers, has been recognized by the German side, more and more fields, open to China, these fields can be transferred some soldiers, as for the mercenary side, in addition to increasing the speed of recruiting natives in Lanfang, in the whole world, also began to recruit.

The First World War, unlike the Second World War, had no discrimination, no massacres, and no concentration camps, but the two major groups because of their different ideas from each other, the war, it doesn't matter whether it is just or not, only the ultimate victor, with the dominance of Britain and France, not that no one can not see it, among them, South Africa has at least 150,000 people, through various methods, joined the camp of the German army, and it can be regarded as for the Boer War of that year, to support Germany, although these troops are small, but they accumulate a lot, It was expected that by 1916 Germany would have 1.5 million new troops of non-native ethnicity, which would greatly delay the problem of German soldiers.
