readx;?“ Let Su Mo continue to stay in the Indian Ocean, now the Luftwaffe's magic box fleet has begun to retreat north, and the carrier-based aircraft force of the German High Seas Fleet has also suffered heavy losses, and they didn't bring many attack aircraft with them this time, the threat is not very big, and the scale of the naval presence can be appropriately reduced. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But be sure to block the Gulf of Aden! When the final battle report of the Battle of the Gulf of Aden was delivered to Xu Jie, Xu Jie immediately issued a second order, the military operation has come to an end, but the political transaction has just begun, the so-called half ninety of those who travel a hundred miles, military victory is only the first step to obtain benefits, as for whether they can achieve their goals, it depends on the following operations!

Even Count Luckner understands very well that a treaty without strength as a backing is just a piece of waste paper, and the biggest bargaining chip in Huaxia's hands is the German fleet that has just been hit hard, as long as Huaxia is willing, Huaxia is happy! The complete destruction of this fleet is only a matter of days. Therefore, in order to maintain the deterrence of Germany, the Chinese fleet needs to continue to exist in the Gulf of Aden, and in order to continue the mission of the exhausted fleet, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the size of the fleet.

At the same time as the navy was deterring, the pace of the army's offensive also slowed down, and the destruction of the German armed forces in the Middle East was a foregone conclusion, and the Germans, who had lost their sea supremacy, even had an extravagant hope to evacuate. In a desperate situation, the Chinese Army can completely surround but not fight, but the Air Force cannot, the Air Force must maintain the suppression of the remaining German naval and air forces, the Luftwaffe can still transfer and escape from here, in order to finally cut off the illusions of the Germans, after the Battle of the Gulf of Aden, the Air Force launched a wave of powerful attacks, a total of 3000 fighters and 3500 bombers participated in this 3-day air offensive, and it is precisely because of this wave of offensive that the Luftwaffe's magic box and other bomber units were forced to withdraw, And the result of this is that the Luftwaffe no longer has any threat to the Huaxia fleet!

And when the military layout was completed, Huaxia also put forward its own conditions through neutral countries, and Huaxia could let the German navy go back. But all the German Army in the Middle East had to surrender and disarm on the spot, and at the cost of the Luftwaffe having to withdraw from the valley of the Two Rivers and later Syria, Lebanon and Jordan! This evacuation is to be completed under the supervision of the relevant personnel in Huaxia, and after the evacuation. A certain amount of damage is required to various facilities so that they are unusable for a short time. The remnants of the German-Austrian army, still entrenched in the northern part of the two river basins, had to be withdrawn to later Turkish territory.

Of course, this was only part of the conditions, and the document also demanded that the Germans withdraw all troops stationed in the territory of the Turkish Empire to Europe and cut off the supply of arms and equipment to the Turkish Empire. But this content is of limited significance. Because the withdrawal of troops is not an overnight process, it is impossible for the Huaxia fleet to stay in the Indian Ocean for so long, and if the Germans are determined to break the treaty, Huaxia will indeed not find a way to counteract except to continue the confrontation. However, Xu Jie believes that if the Germans who have suffered a lot of damage on the southern front have some sense, they will definitely maintain relations with China as much as possible, and at least consider the Turkish issue after the summer offensive of the United States, Britain and Russia is repelled on the northern front!

Well, Huaxia has completed the final layout, and now it depends on how the Germans choose, and I believe they will make a suitable choice. That's good for everyone! As the political leader and nominal military supreme commander Kaiser Wilhelm II and the boss of the German navy, land and air forces have serious differences about the current situation, the Kaiser refuses to make concessions on the issue of withdrawing from the Middle East, and the leaders of the three armed forces believe that it is beneficial for everyone to abandon the Middle East at this time, and it is an unwise choice for Germany to continue to maintain such a long line and engage the opponent!

"If we give up Turkey, it will be equivalent to the collapse of the Allied bloc, and if I don't give up one ally, then what will the other allies think? We have given up Turkey today, and perhaps Austria-Hungary tomorrow. And when the opponent's troops arrive in Berlin, we can only give up the Empire! This is an absolutely intolerable beginning, the army of the empire can fight to the death, but it must not give in! "Facing the bigwigs of the three German armies. The enraged Kaiser roared.

"Your Majesty, the present situation is not to discuss the question of whether the Allies can still exist, but to discuss the future of German Germany, we have lost this war, the accumulation of decades of the Reich is gradually turning to ashes, and we have paid enough for this war. It's time to think about stopping this war. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was doomed, China now controls the southern part of Asia Minor, soon they will go north, and the United States, Britain and Russia are about to launch a large-scale offensive in the Ukrainian region, and we simply do not have enough military strength to deal with the fighting in both directions! For the first time, Kruger made it clear in front of the Kaiser that Germany could not win this war, and as the boss of the German Army, this statement undoubtedly represents the attitude of the top brass of the Army!

"The combat effectiveness of the Air Force has also reached its limit, and if I can't withdraw troops from the Middle East, the local air defense circle that I don't have will be more acquainted, and I can even send part of the aviation units to the Eastern Front." The Red Baron didn't say much, but his attitude was clear, and there was no doubt that this time he stood on the opposite side of the emperor. "Another point I need to make is that the oil fields of the Transcaucasia and the two river basins can no longer provide a little fuel for the empire! The former was almost destroyed in the brutal bombing that lasted for about 1 year, while the latter has already fallen into the hands of Huaxia, and even if we can produce more aircraft, it will be useless. ”

"We still have coal-fired oil! As early as 1 year ago, I ordered you to reserve enough strategic resources! The Kaiser said almost through gritted teeth.

"However, a quarter of the capacity of these fuel plants was destroyed by the US and British air forces, and another quarter of the capacity was lost in the lines of communication or in oil depots. This is also the target of the United States and Britain Huaxia Air Force! A drop in fuel production is almost inevitable. Your Majesty! Please make this reality official! The Red Baron's deep voice was like a hammer in everyone's hearts, which meant that there was finally a big problem with the supply of Germany's most important strategic resources!

"If we can't lead Germany to victory, then I'd rather have everything to ashes! What's more, it's not that bad! Even if Huaxia reached the southern shores of the Mediterranean, what would they do? Landing in the Balkans or landing in Italy? No matter where, it is not suitable for the army corps to fight, and the battle line in Huaxia is longer! They will definitely not be able to support it in the first place! Even now, the Kaiser had hope for war, hoping that a long war of attrition and heavy casualties would make the other side retreat.

But the Kaiser seems to have forgotten that the German army and personnel were also human and feared casualties! Compared with China and the United States, where the population base is more beaten. In terms of population, it must be Germany that can't hold up first, not the United States and China! What's more, the homeland of the United States and China is at least safe, while the German mainland is bombed day and night by the American and British air forces! In addition, as the area under control shrinks, Germany's resources are beginning to exceed their means. The only way to do this is to rely on stocks, and when they run out, how can Germany continue to support them?

Although the Kaiser was very angry in his heart, at this moment, he had already noticed the independent tendencies of the military personnel! "They've been getting more and more fond of making decisions lately. Instead of following orders! These guys! Looking at the expressionless Kruger and the sturdy Red Baron who was close to the army, Wilhelm II realized for the first time that these generals of his own were already a little too big to lose! When the situation is good, these people can still surround themselves, and when the authorities collapse, will they still be loyal to themselves? Thinking of this, Wilhelm II couldn't help but shudder! After all, the Kaiser directly controlled very few troops, and if the military top brass below twisted into a rope, it would be easy to overthrow him!

"Isn't there a way for the fleet to return? Wouldn't it be okay if we didn't go through the Gulf of Aden, bypassing South Africa and returning to the Mediterranean from the Atlantic? "The Kaiser made a suggestion that could be described as a chat to outsiders.

"You're joking, aren't you? Let the already damaged capital ship sail for tens of thousands of nautical miles? At the same time, you have to face the other party's encirclement and interception! That's the case. It's better to sink yourself, at least the crew has been saved! Your Majesty, this time you have no choice! In order for the empire to have another chance to end the war with dignity, we must accept the opinion of Huaxia! As long as Huaxia's request does not involve Europe, we can talk about it! What's more, we can do something about Turkey too! Kruger was tired of the endless tussle with the Kaiser, and he chose a direct showdown! As for the so-called manipulation, it is just a step down for the Kaiser!

"This matter can be discussed, but we want to rescue as many troops as possible from the encirclement of Huaxia, should we consider letting some of the troops come back with the fleet?" The Kaiser eventually succumbed, and for the first time he submitted to his courtiers. In the face of internal and external pressures. The Kaiser, who was bent on maintaining the Allied system, eventually acquiesced in the military's choice, and he was powerless to resist military pressure, as in history, when Hindenburg said that the army did not support the emperor. The emperor could only flee to the Netherlands! It's just that this time it's not Hindenburg, and the two sides haven't reached the point of tearing their faces.

"The Emperor finally chose to compromise, and our goal seems to have been achieved?" After the meeting at Sanssouci Palace, the Red Baron and Kruger went directly to a hidden place in Berlin to continue their small meeting, and the Red Baron was quite satisfied with the result of today's meeting, after all, the Kaiser still had a clear understanding of the situation. "If you can. I think we can continue to keep the emperor's nominal rule over the empire, and the empire needs a spiritual leader. ”

"No, I don't know if a spiritual leader needs it, but the empire does need a scapegoat! His Majesty the Emperor is obviously better off being this scapegoat! Kruger's answer surprised the Red Baron! Removing the Kaiser, or even forcing the Kaiser to abdicate, was originally only a measure he planned to take when he had to, but now it seems that the army bosses do not intend to let the emperor die a good death!

"The Reich is not His Majesty the Emperor alone, he has enjoyed too many rights and benefits as the Emperor of Germany, so now, when the Reich needs it, he should also give up his crown! It is not appropriate for such a powerful empire to be completely in the hands of one person, in fact, you and I realized early on that the empire cannot fight against other powers at the same time, but is what we said useful? Who is to blame for the German Empire finally coming to this point? You and I are both responsible, but the biggest problem is still with the Kaiser! It's not that we haven't reminded him, but all our reminders can't reverse his paranoia! You tell me, what are we going to do? Facing the surprised Red Baron, Kruger smiled, and there was a different meaning under the smile!

"Let's hurry up and do what we need to do now, the Chinese offensive may be over, but the United States and Britain may immediately attack, our forces have been involved in the Middle East for too long, and now the Atlantic has become the back garden of the Americans, and they will send a steady stream of supplies to Russia through the North Atlantic route and the Northern Sea Route. Throughout the winter and the summer, they were gathering strength. And now we've just suffered a defeat. Kruger said.

"It's not going to be so bad, if I withdraw the air forces in the Middle East, then give me a week, and I can replenish the forces of two air armies in Europe, plus the other forces that were originally transferred to the Eastern Front, and our air power situation on the Eastern Front may not be so bad. I can't guarantee at least 7,000 planes in the moving line. Ground support may not be guaranteed, but at least the firepower of the American and British air forces can be reduced to a minimum. "After temporarily stabilizing Huaxia, the Red Baron is still very optimistic about the recent situation. The Luftwaffe will not continue to break out large-scale air battles with China, and the pressure is directly reduced by nearly forty percent! In this case, it would naturally be much better for the Red Baron, who had a large number of mobile troops on hand again.

"Since the Air Force is able to deploy the strength of 7 air armies on the Eastern Front, then it is not a big problem!" Kruger nodded in satisfaction. In fact, the situation of the Army is somewhat better than that of the Air Force. After all, the German Army has long been preparing for the abandonment of the Middle East, and before the naval operation, many elite units have been transferred back to the European mainland, but it was winter at that time, and many troops did not have time to be transferred to the front line, and while the British and American forces were increasing, the strength of the German Army on the Eastern Front was also steadily increasing. Krueger is confident that he will thwart his opponent's summer offensive! After all, so far, the German Army still has the upper hand in the face of the United States and Britain alone!
