Admiral Ludendorff chose to exercise restraint in the face of absolute inferiority, after all, he only had more than 10,000 German cavalry in his hands. His opponent, Brigadier General Zhou Hongzhi, in addition to the more than 8,000 Chinese cavalry under his command, was also supported by 20,000 or 30,000 nomadic cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes. The difference in strength between the two sides reached about 1 to 4. In such a situation, even if the German cavalry was more powerful, Admiral Ludendorff had no confidence in victory if a conflict or even a war broke out. What's more, there is also a cavalry brigade, two armored brigades and an infantry division of the Chinese Army in the city of Moscow, and the Germans do not have any chance of winning!

In the end, the Germans had to accept the kind reminder of the Chinese side, and General Ludendorff left the army camped more than 20 kilometers away from Moscow, and then led a company of German cavalry into Moscow. Only then did the Chinese cavalry open the way and let Admiral Ludendorff and more than 100 cavalry led by him enter Moscow. Now the whole of Moscow is under the tight control of the squadron, and with the arrival of follow-up troops, the squadron's control over Moscow will become more and more tight. Therefore, there is no fear of what Colonel Ludendorff will stir up in Moscow.

After entering Moscow, Admiral Ludendorff met with Tsar Nicholas II, to whom he apologized. After all, Russia surrendered to Germany, but Germany could not guarantee the safety of the Russian imperial family, which is quite humiliating to say. In addition, Admiral Ludendorff assured Nicholas II that the agreement between Germany and Russia was still valid and that Germany would guarantee Russia's interests as much as possible. This gave Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian government some peace of mind.

Five days later. More than 10,000 armored units of the 8th Army Corps of the German Army arrived on the outskirts of Moscow. Merely. They were also blocked by the 10th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army. The armored units of the 8th Army Corps of the German Army are equipped with more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, which are basically the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks that imitate the Chinese T4 'Wild Wolf' light tank and T5 'Cheetah' medium tank. In terms of numbers, it is about the same as the 10th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, but in terms of combat power, the two sides are not of the same level. After all, at a time when the tanks and armored vehicles of both sides are about the same, the soldier's suzhì is very important. The armored corps of the Chinese Army was formed a few years earlier than the armored corps of the German army. A large number of effective tactics of armored forces have been summed up. Although the armored forces of the German Army have also made rapid progress, it is clear that there is still a big gap between them and the armored forces of the Chinese Army. Because there was already a precedent for General Ludendorff, the armored units of the German Army, after being intercepted, gave up entering Moscow and camped on the outskirts of the western part of Moscow!

This basically formed a situation of confrontation between China and Germany in Russia, with Moscow and the areas east of it mostly occupied by China, while the area west of Moscow was occupied by Germany. In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, together with the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania, occupied the southwestern part of Russia. Including most of Ukraine. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, occupied the Caucasus Mountains and beyond, and was trying to advance north of the Caucasus Mountains. The goal of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was to advance all the way to the Don River valley. However, after the squadron marched aggressively into Russia, this attempt of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was most likely unable to succeed. China has long coveted the fertile Don River basin!

Kaiser Wilhelm II was always angry about the failure of the German army to capture Moscow before the Chinese, and the head of the German General Staff, Field Marshal Falkenhayn, was scolded several times. Fortunately, however, Germany was quickly distracted by other matters, and there was no time to worry about Russia. Otherwise, Marshal Falkenhayne's life will be even more difficult!

At the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II once again convened the Imperial Council. This time, not for the solution of the Russian question, but for the other one. German intelligence received definite information that the Chinese were ready to take action against the British, which greatly concerned the German government. Compared with Russia, which has a large territory and is extremely backward in industry, Britain has a small territory, but the industrialization process is extremely high, especially the British navy and shipbuilding talents, which Germany has always coveted, which is also regarded by the German Navy as the key to whether the German Navy can re-emerge and surpass the Chinese Navy!

"Your Majesty, this time we can no longer lag behind the Chinese, if the Chinese are allowed to occupy Britain, it will inevitably make the blockade of the German coastline at the beginning of the war repeat again. In addition, the hopes of the German Navy to catch up with China will also be disappointed! German Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz, said solemnly. This time, the Imperial Council was convened under the auspices of the German Navy.

"Your Majesty, if the Empire can accept the talents of the British Navy and the talents of shipbuilding, then the Imperial Navy is sure to catch up with or even surpass the Chinese Navy within ten years! Therefore, the empire must be the first to get to Britain and take over the whole of Britain! "The Chief of Staff of the Navy, Field Marshal Pol, was also eager. The gap between the German Navy and the Chinese Navy is too great, and this gap is not only a gap in the number of warships, but also a gap in technology and talent. It is already difficult for Germany to bridge these gaps by its own strength, and there is no other way to do it. The British Navy, the former maritime hegemon, undoubtedly has a very deep accumulation in this regard, which is also regarded as a shortcut by the German Navy.

"When will the Chinese attack Britain? Can the empire land in Britain before the Chinese? Kaiser Wilhelm II asked with a frown. The defeat in the battle with China for Russia made him very annoyed, and he was not willing to fall behind again when he landed in England this time!

"Your Majesty, the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army boarded and set off from southwestern Spain yesterday morning, and it is expected to be five days before entering the English Channel. However, the Chinese Navy has now gained sea supremacy in the southern part of the English Channel, and the main force of the British Navy has retreated to the North Sea! If the empire can send troops to land in Britain now, it should be able to get ahead of the Chinese! "said the head of German intelligence, Lieutenant General Heisenberg.

Kaiser Wilhelm II nodded, then asked, "So, will the Imperial Navy be able to defeat the British Navy and land in Britain first?" ”

"Your Majesty, the capital ships of the Imperial Navy that were damaged in the Battle of the North Sea have now all been repaired. We now have a total of 13 battleships and 4 battlecruisers, and the British Navy now has 19 battleships left. However, the rest of the British Navy is 'Dreadnought' battleships, while the Imperial Navy has 4 super battleships, and if a war starts, the Imperial Navy is sure to defeat the British Navy! In addition, the aviation of the Imperial Navy has begun to take shape, and if a naval battle breaks out within the combat radius of naval aviation, we will definitely be able to defeat the British Navy! "said the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Tirpitz. The German Navy suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the North Sea, with only 13 battleships and 4 battlecruisers remaining of 29 battleships and 8 battlecruisers. In addition, the repair of these damaged capital ships was stopped due to lack of supplies, and the repair work was not completed until the end of last year. German naval aviation was established after the Battle of Sicily, and the German Navy was inspired by the Chinese naval aviation's prowess in the Battle of Sicily. After Germany acquired a series of fighter technology from China, the German Navy also produced naval models of fighters on the basis of these fighters. Now the German naval aviation already had two hundred warplanes, half of which were fighters, the other half were torpedo attack aircraft and dive bombers. Although the German naval aviation had not yet experienced actual combat and had already conducted several exercises, the top brass of the German Admiralty were very satisfied with the performance of the naval aviation. At the same time as the development of aircraft carriers began, the construction of naval aviation was accelerated!

Kaiser Wilhelm II was well aware of the restoration of the strength of the German navy. After Germany gained the advantage on the Western Front, the previous policy of tilting all strategic materials in favor of the army gradually changed, and some of the supplies urgently needed by the navy began to be restored. Although Wilhelm II's naval dream was shattered in the Battle of the North Sea, now, it seems that he has rekindled hope!

"If the Chinese Navy intervenes, will the Imperial Navy be sure to send the officers and men of the army to Britain?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked. After all, the Chinese Navy would certainly not have watched Germany land in Britain.

Kaiser Wilhelm II's question silenced both the German Minister of the Navy, Field Marshal Tirpitz, and the Chief of the Naval Staff, Field Marshal Bohr. There is no doubt that the German Navy is not yet capable of competing with the Chinese Navy. Not to mention the aircraft carriers that the German Navy does not have, even if it is a capital ship, the German Navy cannot be compared with the Chinese Navy. At present, the main forces of the Chinese Navy are basically concentrated in the waters of the eastern Atlantic, and the number of main forces alone is as high as 40, including 14 battleships and 1 battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy's home fleet, 11 battleships and 1 battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet, and 13 intact 'dreadnought' battleships of the US Navy captured in the naval battle of the Bahamas. The four 'Tang-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy alone, except for the 'Saxony' battleship that the German Navy can compete, the rest of the battleships are far from being opponents, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great!
