I weave fate in parallel time and space

With the death of Nicholas II, the Romanov dynasty was officially declared extinct.

The country built on the corpse of this empire passed the "Peace Decree" drafted by a middle-aged man, calling for the immediate conclusion of a peace treaty with "no cession of territory and no reparations", proposing a truce to all warring countries, and announcing its withdrawal from the war.

Under Tesla's recommendation, they held a negotiation with Beichen. According to the current war situation, it was impossible for this emerging country to break away from this war without ceding territory and paying compensation.

However, through Tesla's mediation, they finally signed a peace treaty in Vladivostok.

The price is that they withdraw from Central Asia, and Beichen needs to join the "Apocalypse" project created by Tesla, which is the research project of weapons capable of destroying cities.

At the same time, the other party needs to lease to Beichen the use rights of several large oil fields for 50 years, which is actually a disguised form of compensation.

Beichen doesn't have much desire for land now. They prefer economic control over actual control.

Because the energy and rewards required for actual control are quite disproportionate.

Counting Southeast Asia alone, there are hundreds of ethnic groups in Beichen today, and the progress of ethnic integration has only been over a hundred years, and each of them is still restless. If the dominant ethnic group had not made up the majority, the country would have been divided for the second time.

What's more, Tsarist Russia is a multi-ethnic country, with 194 ethnic groups, and it also believes in the Orthodox Church, which is completely different from the belief system in Beichen, which is even more troublesome.

This is not hundreds of years ago. Genocide will remain in the annals of history, and it is unnecessary.

At the same time, rivers are obviously not as easy to defend as mountains in this era. If the Lena River is used as the boundary, there will be a long defense line. At the same time, Britannia on the other side has to be defended. The defense pressure is too great, and there will be too many Spend some unnecessary defense expenditures.

The north-south span of the country is too large, and the pressure on infrastructure is also great.

In addition, when acquiring northern land, you can obtain an Arctic route.

The earth is round, and the Arctic route is the shortest distance to all continents. However, the current icebreaker technology is average and the economic benefits are not high.

Therefore, after many choices, directly requesting resources is the best choice. After all, the only good thing about these lands in the north is resources.

Later, the Treaty of the Three Emperors Alliance signed between Tsarist Russia and Germany was signed by Nicholas II. After his death, the Three Emperors Alliance naturally disappeared.

At this point, North Russia has completely withdrawn from the war.

But when he retreated like this, the German-Austrian Alliance felt a little uncomfortable.

At first, the three countries suspended the battlefield on the Western Front and jointly chose to attack Persia.

Now North Russia has successfully escaped from this quagmire because of Tesla, but Beichen will not let go of the German-Austrian Alliance.

The pressure of the war on the Eastern Front increased sharply.

As Tesla said, once North Russia chooses to withdraw from the war, the situation will definitely be reversed.

Therefore, Germany chose to take more radical actions to break through the Western Front.

So in this year, the German commander Mahan von turned his attention to the Verdun Fortress on the eastern front of France.

Since the failure of the German attack on Verdun in [-], the French army has become more confident in its fortress and believes that the German army is no longer able to capture this place.

Therefore, the fortress was no longer reinforced and strengthened after this.

In early [-], before attacking Verdun, the German army began to blatantly increase its troops to the Champagne area on the Western Front. This made Joseph, the then French commander in chief, believe that the German army intended to capture this area on the Western Front and use this route to advance further. Attack on Paris.

So a large number of troops were invested in Champagne.

However, Joan of Arc, who had the same name as the saint hundreds of years ago, had different opinions. She proposed to the French commander to send scouts to Verdun to monitor the enemy's movements.

Although Joseph did not think that Germany would choose to launch an attack in this failed place, he did so out of trust in Joan of Arc's almost prophetic judgment.

He sent scouts anyway.

But who knows, this dispatch does not matter. The scouts soon obtained the information that a surprise force of the German army and at least seventeen divisions of aircraft and artillery were quietly approaching Verdun.

Joseph then hurriedly deployed troops to Verdun. Fortunately, he responded quickly and the defense deployment was not hasty.

However, the Germans still laid five railways near Verdun to support war supplies.

And on February 21st, that was the day when Char and Alicia came to play near Verdun.

In line with the principle of keeping secrets and not revealing the direction of the assault, the German army used more than a thousand artillery pieces to conduct concentrated bombing on a front line of more than [-] kilometers along the line.

At this moment, what was unfolding before Alicia and Char's eyes was the spectacular scene of countless artillery salvoes.

Still under the gloomy sky, one fireball after another dragged its tail flames through the air in beautiful parabolas, bombarding the forward positions.

Countless artillery fire poured down on these dozens of kilometers of land, flattening the hills and blasting the earthen walls into pieces.

The troops in West France could only hide in the bunkers and caves they could still find, praying not to be bombarded by artillery fire and buried by rubble.Alicia felt that the ground was shaking and screaming continuously, and countless pieces of earth, stone and rubble were bombarded into the air and fell like rain.

Even those mechas that faced almost unilateral massacre of infantry on the battlefield were still difficult to withstand such intensive bombing.

In eight hours, more than 100 million shells rained on the land.

There were countless craters on the battlefield that had been bombarded by artillery shells, and the trenches were filled with corpses, as well as all kinds of body parts, minced meat and rubble mixed together, becoming part of the earth.

Soldiers with broken limbs or fallen intestines were rolling on the ground in pain.

The wreckage of the mecha was everywhere, thick smoke was rising into the sky, the air was filled with a burning smell, and there was not a trace of green in the entire land.

Xia Ya visually estimated that tens of thousands of people were killed on this battlefield in just these eight hours.

This ferocious firepower impact and the apocalyptic scene deeply shocked Alicia, who was still concerned about the war in infantry confrontation.

"Is this place purgatory?" Alicia muttered absentmindedly.

"It's purgatory, but this purgatory is located in the human world." Xia Ya leaned against the fence and looked into the distance quietly. "The opponent's general has truly realized the true way of fighting a thermal weapon war. Before the absolute firepower suppression, no longer Huge numbers of enemies are useless.”

Alicia quietly stared at the battlefield below.

Even after suffering such a brutal bombing, the armies of West France were still not defeated.

During the gaps between enemy attacks, they came out of the bunker and used anti-mecha cannons, grenades, and surviving mechas to fight back, and even repelled several waves of German attacks.

"But in addition to firepower, the will to fight is also the key to determining the direction of the war." Alicia whispered.

West France during the First World War was still very courageous.

In the history of another world, the reason why they surrendered so quickly in World War II was actually because in several so-called meat grinder battlefields in World War I, almost an entire generation of their people died, and their vitality was shattered. Empty.

However, although the West French people were very determined to fight at this time, Germany was also desperate.
They even mobilized resources from the Eastern Front here and mobilized the power of the entire Allied Powers to make a breakthrough.

They believed that if Western France collapsed, Britain would also collapse.

At the same time, the Maria Mountains are the guardian mountain of Britannia, and they will also belong to them.

As long as the battle line is pushed to the Great Pampas and the Maria Mountains are defended, the Britannian army can be blocked and gain a breathing space.

If Britannia wants to attack them, it must use its navy.

The German navy is definitely the strongest in the world.

As this wave of bombings ended, the German army directly used mecha units carrying new weapons.

They look very similar to Storm Mechas, but the difference is that they carry a flamethrower.

The mechas of this era did not have any thermal insulation system.

Metal materials can easily conduct heat, which is why the middle-aged man was injured in the battle in St. Petersburg.

Therefore, the flamethrower may not be too harmful to the mecha, but it is fatal to the driver inside the mecha.

The hot flames burned the metal of the mecha red, and the pilot inside the mecha either escaped from the driving seat and was roasted to char by the flames, or stayed inside the mecha and was roasted alive.

And for those infantry without mechas, these flamethrowers are even more terrifying.

Originally, they could deal with the enemy while hiding in the bunker, but the flamethrower could directly burn them to death while hiding in the bunker. Even if they did not die, the billowing smoke carried by the flames could kill them.

At the same time, they concentrated a large number of superior forces to conduct an assault as a vanguard force, and broke through the first defensive position of the French army that day.

Char and Alicia have been observing the battlefield in the castle courtyard.

This may be the most intense battlefield they have ever seen in their lives.

The air was filled with the smell of burning diesel fuel, mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder smoke, and a smell of phosphoric acid. There was no longer any green on the earth, but instead it was gray, and the air was filled with a desperate smell of death.

But Alicia is also very smart. She saw the entire battlefield from a God's perspective and felt something was wrong.

"Why don't the Germans attack the west bank of the Meuse River? Isn't the defense there the weakest? Isn't their goal the Verdun Fortress?"

"Their goal is the Verdun Fortress, but not to capture this fortress." Xia Ya's eyes flashed, "Do you remember what I told you before?"

Alicia seems to have realized something, her face is a little ugly (end of chapter)
