In Falkenhayn’s mind, the scene of Qian Fan competing for the British team to enter Paris unconsciously emerged. At this moment, the army chief of staff finally felt scared

"As soon as possible, the Prime Minister, Mr. Bateman Hollwich, obtains the joint propaganda machine, which should turn the Newcastle naval battle into a brilliant victory for the navy, because the front line does not need other voices!"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
A week ago, the tragic battle of Cray finally ended in German victory.
Peace and tranquility have been broken since Major Franz von Ai Hald’s land cruiser company broke into the beautiful town on the banks of the Vaz River in France. In just one week, the town was reduced to ruins and became a purgatory for people depicted in nearly 30 films and more than 200 novels.
On April 14, 1915, a mixed land cruiser company suffered less than 50 casualties in the muddy hūn season, and defeated a French soil defense infantry regiment stationed here with a small amount of troops.
This is the Battle of Clay.
After the breakthrough in the early days of the battle of Paris, the British and French Coalition forces deployed three regiments on the front line, and the number of casualties was calculated every day
Although the newspaper for help and the newspaper jǐng flew to the headquarters like snowflakes, the masters of the headquarters in Paris, the French capital, thought that the situation was not at the end of their tether. "We have some trouble," a general wrote in his diary.
Because the headquarters made an optimistic judgment on the front line, they not only did not rush to gather the defeated troops, but asked them to stop retreating and establish a solid defense line on the spot. For a large number of hastily recruited and untrained soil defense officers, the order was to move forward and then forward.
A very strange scene in the history of war happened. At present, the regular army of the line is losing ground, and the fighting capacity is rotten to the dregs’ defense force, but it is still crossing the river. The Clay Command, which is important to Paris, actually sent a soil defense force with poor fighting capacity.
Clay lost his pride and Paris was finally shocked.
Panic spread, and the heads of the French army command finally panicked and didn’t know what they should do. In the chaos, various controversial plans were reached and implemented.
The British and French allied forces began to shrink their defense lines, and the British troops stationed on the French coastline of the English Channel and the French army near the Swiss mountain defense line began to move to Paris faster than the imperial army to accept these ceded territories
The arrogant Parisian citizens were discriminated against by criminals. When China laborers were armed by the French to distribute a service, they could be traced back to the era of the Franco-Prussian War. Rifles and a small amount of homemade "lemon" grenades were pulled to the front to stay in the south of France, and the reorganization plan of the troops was completely disrupted. These tired J Ο ng sharp divisions were compiled into temporary divisions, and they were pulled back to the battlefield by train after train.
Against this background, the Battle of Cray entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning. The intensity of the war was so intense that the bones were soaked with laziness. The French finally broke out in blood. They just repelled the precious land cruiser as a fixed fort in Cray’s defense war, the third land cruiser company of the Dragon Cavalry.
The imperial army gathered troops on the north bank of the Watts River for too many waves, although it took the opportunity to destroy almost two regiments of the British and French allied forces and a large number of cannon fodder from crossing the river, it also completely ruined the rapid end of the Paris campaign to some extent, which may make the Paris campaign change to a long-lasting meat grinder.
The imperial high command decided to retake Clay and sent it to the two wings of the town of Clay. After outflanking a regiment in a roundabout way, the army on the western front formed a regiment and a half. One artillery of 300,000 troops, including 42 mm siege heavy mortars, was dismantled from old warships, and a large number of 35 mm naval guns and 152 giant mines stormed Clay.
Not to be outdone, in just three days, the French dispatched locomotives, trucks and even cars from Paris to turn Cray into a reinforced concrete maze equipped with heavy artillery and machine guns, which can support each other. Each hair spot formed a solid ring fortification around Cray, and then they invested a lot of troops to launch a fierce battle with the Germans around Little Cray.
Fighting broke out in every corner, buildings, shelters and hills were leveled by large-caliber artillery, trenches were continuously dug deep and then covered with floating soil, and every inch of land was dyed red with blood.
In the end, the morale of the Germans was in full swing. In the end, in April, 24 ri Clay fell, and the main force of the Imperial Army did not cheer and continued to move in the direction of Paris. Engineers also repaired the damaged railway line around the clock, and the guns were erected and aimed at Paris.
Major Ai Hald once again rushed to meet four land cruisers and one chariot left in front of him. Another land cruiser company, seven land cruisers and one chariot, accompanied by a regiment army, bypassed one French town after another and marched into Paris.
It’s not Major Ai Hald’s painstaking efforts to detour, but the experience accumulated from one bloody battle after another. Land cruisers should take the initiative to attack instead of fixing the battery to carry out defensive warfare. It is unwise for land cruisers to lose infantry when they take the initiative to attack. It is even more foolish to put even a 37 mm straight SH gun into street fighting at close range.
Land cruisers advance in the center of the town, and suddenly the guns burst out like fried beans. The experienced land cruisers’ commander kept moving forward. After moving forward for more than ten meters, several French land cruisers with explosives jumped out of the hidden place beside the road. The French Dong Rui-style fearless revolutionary heroism destroyed many land cruisers, and the land cruiser gunners also had a complete set of countermeasures.
The driver aimed the thickest armored car at the French death squads, while the gunners fired heavy machine guns at the French, beating them to pieces and lying on the ground in an instant.
Infantry began to enter the town to clear the enemy land cruisers, and soon they came to the fork in the road outside the town.
There is a mottled wooden sign hidden in the grass at the fork in the road, which can only say "Give up your gun and don’t kill". Major Franz von Ai Hald pointed to the road sign and turned his head and asked, "Does our company know French?"
"I will be a little …"
From hitchhiking infantry to upgrading car infantry Martin Bowman volunteered to jump off the car. The saber scraped off the moss on the street sign and read the text on the street sign.
"Road to Paris, Prussian Army in 171"
Martin Bowman suddenly turned and pointed to the road facing south and shouted
"Ha-ha, this is the imprint left by our brave ancestors. In front of it is Paris, where our German emperor was crowned!"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
As before the Italian-Turkish War in 1911, the Roman Parliament Building was in a frenzy and agitation.
"Our German Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire had a covenant, once solemnly sworn and determined to fulfill their promises. Now our allies are fighting bloody battles in Europe and every corner of the world. Germany has just sunk a British capital ship off Newcastle, England. Their army has occupied the Paris Gate and is advancing to Paris. Austria and Bulgaria have occupied Serbia and advanced to the southern Balkans. Although their national strength is weak, they are still brave in fighting in the North Caucasus, Palestine and the Persian Gulf, while our powerful Italy has become a traitor in the eyes of the world!"
The foreign minister of the kingdom of Italy, Sonnino, shouted at the top of his lungs at the podium of the Congress.
"We are not cowards or villains. Italians should bravely come forward to undertake the mission of safeguarding national honor and dignity and the meaning of peace and prosperity in the Mediterranean. We should declare war on France!"
"Declare war! Declare war on France! "
Well-dressed Italian parliamentarian took off their suits and tie, raised their arms and shouted in unison.
"Mr. Giomidi, the king will sign a declaration of war. If you don’t act, I’m afraid April 29, 1916 is the beginning of the destruction of the Italian kingdom!"
Britain, France, and Russia played a double reed in the small reception room of the Congress Hall, surrounded by the ambassadors of Serbia and Ri in Italy, who were allied countries.
"Gentlemen, this is the Italian choice!" Giomedi opened the door of the reception room and let the fanaticism vent in lightly. "Although I have the Italian emperor’s joke, Giomedi will never betray me to establish a system and never betray the Italian people’s choice! Gentlemen, the war has begun! "
Bloody April 29, 1916, the scale and scope of the European War expanded again. Italy not only did not join the Allies, but turned to the Allies. Although they did not declare war on Britain because of speculation, at the moment they declared war on France, according to the treaty signed by the Allies, the Italians had automatically entered a state of war with the Allies such as Britain and Russia.
The second gun chapter 10 decisive battle in the Mediterranean (a)
In May of 1916, when American cowboys came back from patrolling Arizona and Mississippi pastures with their beloved shotguns, they were surprised to find that the scale of the European war had expanded again.
The Italians who were closer to the Allies declared war on the Allies! Americans are worried that the final payment of their purchase orders for the devaluation of allied government bonds will be honored, and they can also comfort themselves with jokes that the war began in Italy.
An American reporter asked a German general why he tried to analyze Germany’s indifference to Italians. The German general frowned and said that if Italy remained neutral, they would be able to accept the fact calmly, although they would leave three divisions to guard against Italian sneak attack. If Italy declares war on Germany, they will be ecstatic because it takes two German divisions to destroy Italy; If Italy joins the Allies, it will be too bad. They need to send a division to defend Italy, just as they did to Austria-Hungary.
Jokes are always jokes. The fact is that when Italy joined the war group with 1.7 million troops and six dreaded ships, the allies panicked and the allies cheered.
After declaring war on France, 400,000 Italian troops marched into the defensive virtual Alps, and they will cross the border mountains to attack the hinterland of France. At the same time, Italian troops in Libya invaded the French colony Arlia and attacked the city without fear.
The Italians liberated Austria-Hungary and Germany manually.
In the battle of Paris, Germany almost drew its troops from the eastern front to the Balkan peninsula. The German army has only one regiment and one marine corps with less than 200,000 troops. There are five regiments in Austria-Hungary. However, according to the practice that Russian troops play big cards when they meet Germans, five regiments are really not enough.
Damn it, the Italians declared war, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire quickly transferred more than two divisions on the Austrian-Italian border to the eastern front, and the Germans could give it a try on the western front.
The Germans have realized the determination to attack the French defense line on the outskirts of Paris after Leclere’s meeting, and to attack the French resistance with large-caliber artillery every day.
When the first German troops flying the Iron Cross flag appeared in a state of panic in downtown Paris, the Paris City Hall asked ZHENG F ǔ to give the order "Paris is undefended", but the soldiers refused. It seems that withdrawing from Paris means that France is completely defeated, and they will stay here to fight even if they smash Paris.
Civil servant zhengf incarnation the army reached an agreement. France zhengf incarnation announced that the army would move to the capital and stay to defend Paris.
The battle of Paris began, with huge guns bombarding J and jīng’s beautiful buildings, which were blown to rubble. Hospitals and churches were crowded with wounded soldiers, and gendarmes took over the loudspeakers in Paris, driving civilians out of their homes and ordering them to take up arms to defend their homes.
Thanks to the good publicity and bravery of the army, Parisians took up arms again after the uprising of the Paris Commune, and two days before the soldiers met, more than a dozen temporary editors broke out in France.
