When I ran to the edge of the tinker, I could see the fence not far away. Chang Sunchong grabbed the reins and stopped the horse. I turned to smile and looked at Li Qiyun behind me. When Li Qiyun saw Chang Sunchong stop and stopped the horse, he glared at Chang Sunchong’s disgusting face.

"Inform our naval attache in the United States to visit Roosevelt to test the possibility of Americans sending capital ships to fight."
David Betty has been staring at the United States, or rather at the American fleet that has reached 12 formidable ships.
In 1917, the scale of the war was spreading from a corner of Europe to the world, from the Baltic lowlands, Ukraine and the Caucasus to the Paris basin, the whole European continent was in a pot of porridge, and the vast sea was full of iron and steel.
From the peak in 1914 to the bottom, the Royal Navy experienced a strong rebound in the first half of 1916. However, the British naval fleet was designed to contain and strangle the German ocean fleet, and the strength of the former Royal Navy was the strongest. The three Turkish fleets were held back by the Germans, and the bathing basin in the North Sea could not move easily. At that time, the British Mediterranean fleet was crippled by the Allies in the second half of the 19th century, and the remaining old battleships could cooperate with some old domes and protective cruisers to stay in Alexandria. And the strategic position of Port Said, the Suez Canal is not conceded. The sub-fleet of the Mi flag is also led by the German water wolves and the German West Africa base, chasing bloodthirsty hunters all over the ocean.
The Russians with four Gangu super battleships have been clamoring to rush out of the Gulf of Finland and make a scene in the Baltic Sea, but until the end of the war, the Russians in the Black Sea were just clamoring. The Russians in the Black Sea were full of expectations for the defeat of the three Queen Maria battleships in Sochi that year. However, in 1916, the first ship of the Queen Maria class was sunk by the explosion of the ammunition depot, giving the Russians a head-on blow to their confidence.
The technology of Russian large-caliber naval guns and armor-piercing projectiles originated from the British, but the British armor-piercing projectiles made her medicine notoriously unstable. Almost four months ago, the R ???????????????655333
Yesterday, the "second power" of Ri ? navy had long ago failed to confront the allies, and the three Mediterranean powers lost two isolated classes and three Spanish-class battleships in a row. The powerful Normandy class still means that the former French can cover up half of the eastern Mediterranean at most, and the British stationed in the Strait of Gibraltar firmly blocked the entrance and exit of the Mediterranean to the convenient Mediterranean route. The allies have long been unable to take care of the French, although they have huge overseas colonies, but the overseas sub-fleet is very weak. Even against the flagship of the large armored ship Genesenau, the German ocean-going fleet can follow the M-flag
Suppressing the anti-submarine escort of the ocean fleet and the joint fleet, encirclement and suppression of the warships, and fierce naval battles, even if the allies operated their naval forces at full capacity, they frequently felt a sense of strength. Even they had been drifting away from the outside of the allies, and under the pressure of the allies, Britain and France had to send another task force consisting of four old cruisers and twelve destroyers to escort in the North Atlantic.
Ri people are reluctant to send them out to sell iron to build the two Ri task forces of Zhenguobao Institute. Although the number of warships is considerable, this strength is different from that of the wide South Atlantic and Indian Ocean.
David Betty, commander of the British soil fleet, suddenly heard that the emerging maritime power on the other side of the North Atlantic was playing the drums and horns of war, which was overwhelmed by the allies. He had no reason not to expect to have two South Carolina-class, two Florida-class, two Wyoming-class, two new york-class, two Huada-class and two Pennsylvania-class fast battleships. There were twelve fast battleships in the dock, and there were three new Mexican-class fast battleships that were about to complete the outfitting project. The United States did not support its allies.
"Commander, we can wait …"
Looking at Betty’s eyes, there was awesome power and courage to go forward. Lampard suddenly found that he didn’t know how to persuade the high-spirited David Betty to hesitate for a long time before he spoke a weak persuasion word against the red Se setting sun.
"It’s not that I’m timid. Long-range blockade is indeed the simplest and most effective way to contain and destroy the ocean fleet. We don’t need the Germans to choke in the North Sea!"
"Lampard, do you think the Allies still have the money to drag the war to the moment when Germany collapses?"
David Betty is impatient, and the heat of the evening breeze loosens the discipline buckle of the military uniform and asks.
After the Eastern Front War in 1917 and the April Revolution, although Russia temporarily declared that it would not quit the war, in fact, they had moved their feet out of the war, and the Russians were not worth looking forward to.
The French were equally miserable. After the Paris War in 1916 and the Ustica Island exhausted the last strength of France and lost the industrial zone in Paris, the industrial capacity of France fell sharply. Inflation, soaring prices, and the overwhelming famine all caused the morale of the people to fall sharply. If it were not for American blood transfusion, France might have collapsed.
In the past, Ri did not fall into the empire, which has been thin and thin, and the gold has been abandoned in Ska Gerakl Strait, Dogel Shazhou and Helgolan Bay. In order to rebuild the big fleet, the British empire had to be swollen and plump, and almost moved to their national treasury; Paying money to support France’s defense industry will transfer the purchase of three Spanish-class battleships to France and Britain to save the bridgehead in western Europe. It is terrible to spare no effort. However, in 1916, France lost its most important industrial zone, the naval battle of Ustica Island, and the French ruined the Spanish-class battleships in one breath, allowing the British to invest their blood in the face of low morale and defeatism. France is lonely and the British can swear and continue to grind their teeth and give blood to the French who can’t survive. The Irish riots are getting worse and worse. The signs of German intervention have been very obvious. After the mob occupied some big cities such as Dublin and Cork, the Irish Dü Li army was formally formed to March towards the northern part of Ireland occupied by British forces. Although John Niu temporarily transferred 150,000 regular troops from the western front to cooperate with the local army jǐng to carry out encirclement and suppression, the Dü Li army quickly adjusted its countermeasures after the initial defeat, and the whole British empire was struggling to cope with guerrilla warfare.
Indeed, the protracted war was once the best weapon for the Allies to deal with the natural enemy of the army and navy, but the geography was unfavorable and the soil resources were scarce in Germany. However, in 1917, the quantitative change caused the qualitative change. An embarrassing scene happened. Since the start of the war, the Allies have suffered numerous defeats and battles, and the sea transportation line is also in a semi-paralyzed state. The Allies were surprised to find that they were also heroic and short of breath. On that day, the Allies suddenly lost their confidence in who could survive the terrible protracted war.
"Don’t overestimate the Americans. Their industrial strength is really good, but their military strength is not worth mentioning. At present, the Allies need not only planes and cannons, cruisers and land cruisers, rifles and bullets, bread and butter, but also trained soldiers. Maybe we will collapse before the United States taps its military potential!"
Betty explained that Lampard was right.
What the commander of the big fleet said is true. Today, the United States is even more pocket-sized than the British Army in the early days of the European War. The United States Army has only 770,000 people and the national jǐng Guard, which is a reserve. If it weren’t for those land cruisers, the firepower of the United States Army would not be as good as Yuan Shikai’s. The only general with actual combat experience is John J Pershing, who once hunted down peasant rebels in Mexico, the world’s largest industrial country. The United States has no arsenal, and most of the weapons and equipment are produced in Europe, and the orders have been placed
The arms giants once boasted that "giving up orders and paying liquidated damages is a crime against the United States". It is foreseeable that the United States will recruit new soldiers for preliminary training with wooden guns in the European War. Perhaps they will be sent to the flesh and blood mill in Paris on the western front without shooting experience!
The American navy has a good strength. They have twelve dreaded ships. The first few battleships were "British battleships with different firepower and German battleships with different armor", but American ship designers quickly caught up with the battleships and made great achievements in the balance of firepower and protection. The problem is that the United States lacks experience in dreading ships, and the naval battle in Scarborough Gerakl Strait has been bloody. It is said that the quality of naval commanders and sailors is important for a naval battle.
In this case, even if the United States suddenly gains the mobilization ability of Germany, and wants to truly show that the world’s first industrial empire has less muscle, it will have to wait until 191 when France is broken and Russia withdraws from the war, that is, once Germany takes the opportunity of Russia’s surrender to suck blood from the Russians, it is not known whether the Allies can successfully last until 191.
Lampard’s dumb words Betty left her head and pointed to the bay bathing in the sunset. A steel ship with a rice flag was whispering with a little sadness.
"And if it doesn’t experience a little blood fire, will this rebuilt big fleet be the big fleet that we remember to keep forging ahead forever?"

In May, the world situation changed in a dazzling way. Kiel Lenin secretly sent the old Bolsheviks, the left-wing jīng Ying of the German social ín zhǔ party to meet every day to discuss and sum up the experience of the 14-year revolution, the Paris Commune and the Russian April revolution, discuss ways and means of the German revolution, raise funds to buy arms, organize and train workers’ armed forces, and also set up a training course for the secret workers’ movement in May. Every day, left-wing leaders from various regions of Germany received training and then returned to local areas to develop the revolutionary ranks.
Despite the artillery fire on the front line, the future of the empire is uncertain, but Germany’s great just bourgeois revolutionaries still y and n seek to subvert the German emperor William’s first reactionary government, establish workers’ own armed differentiation and absorb the imperial army’s efforts to win over Heidi Selim’s first imperial navy. After the revolution, will Germany encounter the revolutionary mentor Lenin’s insistence on pushing the reparations to withdraw from the war? Soviet Russia has a similar fate. That’s not for revolutionaries to consider!
After the founding of the German Communist Party, the revolutionary situation emerged in Munich and Berlin, and the party branches of various districts and streets emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain. Workers were organized, energetic and loyal. party member infiltrated into the army and advocated that more than 10,000 soldiers had joined the German Communist Party in less than a month.
Kiel, the German Communist camp, was infiltrated by Germany coplanar.
Kiel was the hardest hit by the third naval political storm in 1915. Workers were generally dissatisfied with imperial politics. In addition, most factories in Schleswig-Holstein were controlled by Kiel Industrial Trust, and they were forced to accept low wages and a terrible 12-hour wage system. They complained about the chemical giant Dick’s head, the Shihe State Trust, which developed rapidly here.
Sailors of the Baltic Fleet have always sympathized with the revolutionary Kiel. Not many troops were infiltrated by workers. At this moment, there will be an uprising, and the horn of Kiel, an important industrial city, will change hands in an instant!
Some people with a keen sense of smell may have noticed the danger, but they believe that their strength recognizes the German Republic and those humble and dirty workers are just buffoons.
