BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263: Beware of America
Before, in order to eliminate the Russian Northwest Front Army, the 8th Army had to choose tactics to lure the enemy deep. But now, the Northwest Front Army has been almost completely wiped out, and the Russian army has no decent troops in the Kingdom of Poland. Naturally, they don\'t need to defend anymore, and they can just switch to a full-scale attack.
Though, now Russia is definitely also mobilizing troops into the Kingdom of Poland. But Qin Tian believed that the 8th Army could easily destroy the Russian Northwest Front Army, and it would also be able to deal with the Russian troops sent later.
On the train, William II, Qin Tian and others discussed the current situation.
"The army launched the Battle of the Marne yesterday. The progress seems to be pretty good. If we can defeat the British and French forces in the Battle of the Marne, we will be able to advance the front directly to Paris. At that time, the French will be very It is possible to withdraw from the war. We will win this war." William II talked eloquently, and seemed to be full of confidence in the Battle of the Marne launched by the army.
Although Qin Tian knew the result of the Marne River Battle in another time and space, everything has changed in this time and space. Whether the German Army can win the Battle of the Marne is still uncertain. However, based on what Qin Tian learned, I am afraid that the battle situation is not as optimistic as William II said. Little Mao Qi\'s orders were not well implemented in the armies on the Western Front. This may lead to the fact that the German army, like another time and space, failed to win the Battle of the Marne. As a result, the war inevitably entered a stalemate.
Of course, even if Qin Tian knew this, he would not say it. Otherwise, it would be throwing cold water on William II. When William II was in high spirits, doing so was undoubtedly courting death.
"As long as our army can defeat France and the navy can defeat the British Royal Navy in a decisive battle, then we will win future wars." William II said.
"Yes, Royal Father, I am also full of confidence in winning this war. However, I don\'t think we can be too optimistic before everything is settled." Qin Tian said.
"Oh? Oscar, do you have any worries?" William II asked.
"Father, don\'t forget that on the other side of the ocean, there is a powerful country that has not made any statement about this war so far. If they join the war, it will have a great impact on the entire war, and even relations To win or lose." Qin Tian said.
King William II couldn\'t help but frowned: "You mean the United States?"
"Your Highness, the United States has taken a neutral attitude so far. They shouldn\'t join the war, right? Even if they join the war, they won\'t necessarily be against us, right? Maybe they will join our camp as well. Maybe." Marshal von Pohl said.
"No matter which side the Americans join, it will be very unfavorable to the German Empire. If the United States joins the Allied Powers, then we will have to face a powerful hostile country. If we want to win the war, we have to pay more And if the United States joins the allies, it will be very bad for us. Because that means we will be forced to share the benefits with the Americans. This is for us who want to replace the United Kingdom and become the hegemony of the world , is unacceptable." Qin Tian said.
The expressions of Wilhelm II, Marshal Earl Tirpitz, and Marshal von Pohl suddenly became a little ugly. Before the war broke out, they didn\'t seem to have considered the attitude of the United States at all. They always believed that this war was a war of European countries, and the United States should not intervene.
"Oscar, the Americans may not intervene. Isolationism in their country is very prevalent." William II said.
Qin Tian nodded: "Indeed, the isolationism in the United States is a trouble. But if the United States wholeheartedly wants to join the war, I think this trouble is nothing. The US government has a hundred ways to solve it. This trouble."
"Your Highness, even if the United States joins the war, we have nothing to fear, right? Except for the strength of the US Navy, which is slightly stronger, their army is simply rubbish." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
The U.S. Army, before entering the war, only had more than 100,000 people. This is because there are no powerful countries around the United States. In addition, the current United States is not the Uncle Sam who will dominate the world in later generations. It can be regarded as a boy Sam at most, and there is no need to send troops overseas. Therefore, their army has always been relatively small.
As for the U.S. Navy, although its strength is not weak, it is relatively speaking. The U.S. Navy ranks third in the world, after the United Kingdom and Germany. However, since the German navy can beat the British navy, it naturally doesn\'t have to be afraid of the Americans. However, if the British and Americans unite, they can cause some trouble to the German navy. But it\'s just troublesome. The German Navy is still capable of dealing with it.
"The military strength of the United States is indeed not strong now, but don\'t forget that their industrial output value surpasses ours. Once the Americans decide to join the war and start mobilizing with all their strength, with their industrial scale and population, they can quickly Arm an army of several million soon. Once this army appears in Europe, it will be a great threat to us." Qin Tian said.
William II couldn\'t help frowning even tighter.
"Oscar, what can you do?" William II asked.
Qin Tian shook his head: "I have nothing to do. The only thing I can do is to win the war before the Americans decide to join the war. In this case, even if the Americans want to join the war, they will late."
