Chapter 304: Revitalizing the Schlieffen Plan (Middle

When Wang Guorui told this Bach about the history of the United States participating in the war, Bach inevitably began to panic. Because the Germans have calculated thousands of times, but they just ignore the influence of the Americans. Judging from the statistical results of later generations, the combat effectiveness of the Americans at that time was actually not strong. According to historical records, the Americans in the world did not even know trench warfare before they landed in Europe. Only through intensive training can they barely learn new tactics to fight. Just such an army that didn't even know the most popular tactics at the time became the last straw that overwhelmed Germany.

Prior to this, countries such as Germany and France also shed their last drop of blood. In order to fight the First World War in Russia, even domestic revolutions broke out, and the whole family of the Tsar was wiped out. When the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers couldn't hold on, the joining of the United States, a country that is not powerful, became the straw that overwhelmed Germany. On the contrary, Germany is very ignorant of this. They subconsciously believe that the Monroe Doctrine is prevalent in the United States, so they will not come over. However, they seriously ignored the influence of capitalists on the overall situation of the country, because capitalists need to sell goods. And once more than one million troops are armed, there must be countless supplies that need to be purchased, and the benefits for those capitalists are huge. So even if the U.S. government does not want to participate in the war, the capitalists will force them to participate, and then use this war to finally make a fortune.

And Bach has clearly reasoned out, if the two sides fall into a stalemate. Both sides have shed the last drop of blood, and the Americans will be the last victors. Regardless of whether it is Germany or Britain, France and Russia, they are all losers. So now Bach seems to have reasoned out this result. Bach couldn't help but feel sad.

"You should know that this is the consequence of the failure of the Schlieffen Plan. In the end, it is almost impossible for you, Germany, to win. And when you implement the Schlieffen Plan, the success rate is less than 30%. This is a big gamble. If you fail, Then Germany is about to perish. So, think about it. What should you do?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Governor Wang, do you have any ideas? You must have a way to solve this situation. Do you have a way?" Bach asked pleadingly.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "Actually, there are ways!"

"How?" asked Bach.

Wang Guorui went on to say: "In fact, we can proceed according to the method of soldiers against soldiers, generals against kings against kings. If a war breaks out, then you Germany will face Britain, France and Russia. If there is a country that can contain Russia from the rear, then such The pressure on your Eastern Front has suddenly decreased. Although the German weapons industry is relatively backward, they are the most populous country in Europe. The European steamroller is not called for nothing. Therefore, the core factor of your Schlieffen plan is to solve France first, and then turn back Prepare for a decisive battle with Russia again. But you are not sure of winning against Russia, because your population is too small."

"If there is a country with a larger population than Russia and enough industry to contain Russia from the back of Russia, so that they cannot fully mobilize their armed forces to fight in Europe. And they can also contain a large number of Russian troops. This can also indirectly support you Germany. The pressure on the Eastern Front of your Germany has been reduced countless times. On the other hand, you can all fight steadily in France, and then have more and more generous time to fight against France. In this way. There is enough time to implement, Your Schlieffen plan will not be a gamble again, but a plan with a greatly increased success rate."

"If you can fight steadily for a while and fight for the demise of France, then your time pressure will not be so great. And if you are lucky, you may be able to go back and attack Russia with the populous country behind Russia. Maybe we can win this game of chess. As long as we can pinch and destroy Russia, we will occupy the continent through cooperation. At that time, even if the United Kingdom had the command of the sea, we would not be afraid. At that time, we had the resources of Siberia in Russia, and then we could continue to Continue to provide war needs, and finally fight a long-term war of attrition with the United Kingdom. If this is the case, we dare not say that we will win, but at least we will not fail! And a famous general who is good at fighting, his first consideration is not victory, It is undefeated. And this plan is the way to keep Germany undefeated."

Bach immediately exclaimed: "What a genius plan!"

Of course, Bach heard Wang Guorui's plan, that is, if China can send heavy troops to contain Russia's rear, then Russia will inevitably send a large number of troops to resist, which will also contain a large number of Russia's war forces. The consequence of this is that Russia will not say whether it can transfer a large number of soldiers to the European side, so that the pressure on Germany will suddenly decrease. On the other hand, Germany has also gained a lot of time, and it is entirely possible to slow down the implementation of the Schlieffen plan.

You must know that the original Schlieffen plan was a gamble. If it failed, Germany would be very dangerous. But if China can contain Russia in the rear, then it will form a China against Russia, Germany against France, and Britain can only wander on the sea. And this is tantamount to splitting Germany's opponents, and will not cause Russia and France to attack Germany, and the pressure on Germany's Eastern Front will suddenly decrease countless times. After all, Russia's millions of troops have been contained, and Germany can free up its hands to deal with France.

This is equivalent to providing a set of insurance for Germany's Schlieffen plan. If France can be destroyed as soon as possible, it will naturally be lucky. But if we take a step back and say that the Schlieffen plan was not fully implemented and France was not destroyed, then Germany can also make a strategic adjustment, changing from fast fighting to slow fighting, and delaying the battle. In this way, Germany will not have the pressure of millions of Russian troops on the Eastern Front. Isn't it a sure thing to clean up France?

Wang Guorui's proposal made Bach very cheerful. And the core of this plan is actually to have a populous country and an eastern country with certain industrial strength to contain Russia in the rear and finally reduce strategic pressure on Germany. And in this country, besides China, who else can there be? This plan had never occurred to Bach before, nor even to anyone in Germany. Because of the past situation, the Manchu Qing could not become a force to contain Russia. If the Manchu Qing could not contain Russia, the Germans would not have this delusion.

But now Wang Guorui has proposed this strategy, which is to make Bach cheerful. Since the Manchu Qing could not contain Russia, then a Chinese government would definitely be able to do it! The current problem of the Qing Dynasty is not about industry or the army, but about the unity of government power and the determination to fight desperately to safeguard national interests. The Manchu Qing is now in a semi-split state. On the other hand, the Manchu Qing is a government of ethnic minorities. They first want to maintain their own rule. For this kind of international war, it is better to do less than to do more, and they will not take too much control. But if the government is changed, for example, Taiwan's government, wouldn't that just revitalize all of this?

If the Qing government can be replaced by the Taiwan government, then Russia will be held back. If the Chinese government is willing to cooperate with Germany at that time and mobilize heavy troops to defend the Russian Far East, then a large number of Russian troops and strategic resources will also be diverted to the Far East, so Russia will be empty. At that time, everything was easy to handle.

The reason why Wang Guorui was able to think of this was because in the past, Japan was actually containing the Soviet Union in the Far East, and then prevented the Soviet Union from mobilizing troops from the Far East to Europe. Later, Japan adopted the strategy of going south and gave up the strategy of going north, so that the Soviet Union boldly mobilized a large number of troops from the Far East to Europe to fight against the Germans.

In fact, is the Second World War not a replica of the First World War? The Schlieffen Plan of World War I failed ~lightnovelpub.net~ and World War II adopted the central idea of ​​the Schlieffen Plan. It's just that in the Second World War, blitzkrieg was used, and the armored forces were used to break through France and successfully destroy France. After that, Germany once again went to war against Russia's successor, the Soviet Union. In fact, the central idea continued the essence of the Schlieffen plan.

However, great changes took place in the East during World War II. The rise of Japan restrained the strength of the Soviet Union, which meant that the Soviet Union had to let a large number of troops defend Japan in the Far East. And this situation made Wang Guorui tempted. If the situation can be directly pushed forward to the situation of World War II, and Japan is replaced by China, then it will definitely be a great success. After all, the unified China is not comparable to Japan, and Tsarist Russia is far inferior to the later Soviet Union. In such a situation of ebb and flow, the old man is about to hang up. Therefore, this situation is still very beneficial to Germany, and it can greatly increase the probability of Germany's success in this war.

"Governor Wang, can I borrow your wireless station?" Bach said.

"No problem, please go ahead!" Wang Guorui said.

Soon, Bach also sent the news back to Germany, and then asked senior German officials to discuss the plan. Unexpectedly, this plan caused an uproar among the top German officials. (to be continued)
