Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Your Majesty, we have received protests from cultural groups around the world, as well as from many countries. They demanded that our army not destroy Barri, and claimed that it was a crime against all mankind! Imperial Prime Minister Holwig said.

“! If they want to keep it, let them persuade the Gauls to withdraw from it. In this way, the bar will not be destroyed by the fires of war. The so-called cultural treasures they value can naturally be preserved! August said angrily.

No matter how important those relics and monuments are, they are definitely not as important as the lives of his soldiers!

The population of the Germanic Empire was originally small, even if after he succeeded to the throne, he asked for vigorous fertility and found ways to increase the population.

Over the years, it has also begun to bear fruit. There are more and more new children. However, it will be a long way before they grow up. In the next ten or twenty years, the Germanic Empire will face many problems due to insufficient population.

Under such circumstances, August naturally cherished the life of every soldier even more.

“Your Majesty, we can ignore those protests abroad. However, there are also many protests in the domestic cultural circles. Prime Minister Holwig continued.

“That’s very simple, whoever can hold a gun, let them go into battle. If they can’t hold a gun, let their son or grandson go into battle. I’d rather see if they say that! August said.

“Haha! Your Majesty, this is a good idea! Once those guys are sent to the battlefield, they will know the cruelty of the battlefield, and they will know that life is the most precious, more than everything! War Minister Admiral von Falkenhein laughed.

“Has the offensive on the side of the 1st Army stopped?” August asked.

“Your Majesty, the vanguard of the 1st Army is only more than ten kilometers away from Barri. However, the Gauls strengthened their defenses against the bar. With the current strength of the 1st Army, it may be difficult to fight it.; In addition, the Gauls are constantly increasing their troops in the bar. It can be said that the 1st Army’s plan to capture Bari has been completely bankrupt.

Now that the 1st Army has moved to the defensive, it is building up its defensive line in preparation for a further offensive in the coming year. ”

Admiral Moltke Jr. said.

He was obviously dissatisfied with Admiral Kluke’s disobedience.

August nodded: “On the side of the 1st Army, let them maintain a defensive posture and hold out until next year.” In addition, the armies in the north of Gaul were about to speed up their attacks. It’s now November, and it’s about to get colder. Soon, it will not be suitable for large-scale attacks. We must continue to push the front south before winter sets in to prepare for Armageddon in the coming year! ”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Moltke Jr. replied.

“In addition, are supplies such as cotton coats, down jackets and fuel ready for the winter?” August asked.

Winter in Europe is no joke, and it snows heavily almost every year.

If you don’t do a good job of cold protection and warmth, you don’t need to think about it, the large-scale non-combat attrition caused by frostbite is enough to give the Germanic Imperial Army a good drink.

“Your Majesty, the logistics department has been mobilizing cotton coats and down jackets, etc., and is transporting them to the front. Fuel, food and other materials are also being transported. The Imperial Army will receive good logistical support this winter, and there will definitely be no problems! War Minister Marshal von Falkenhein said.

“Good. Then, after this battle is over, we can enter the winter to rest. Next spring, it will be time for us to fight a decisive battle with the Gauls and the Sun Never Sets, as well as with the Tsarist Russians! August said.

If 1714 was only the beginning of the war. Then, next year will be a decisive one.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The high-ranking military and political officials of the Germanic Empire all answered one after another.

Everyone is also very much looking forward to next year’s war.

If the Germanic Empire can win next year’s war. Then, the Germanic Empire won the war. The Germanic Empire would be the ultimate victor in this war.

In the northern battlefield of Gaul, the offensive of the various armies of the German Imperial Army was still fierce.

The resistance of the Gallic Army and the Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Sets Empire, although tenacious, was also very difficult.

Even if there is one less 1st Army on the side of the Germanic Imperial Army. However, the 1st Army approached Bari, which not only made the people in Bari City panic and flee one after another. At the same time, it also made the hearts of the front-line troops waver.

Many Gauls feared that the back road would be cut off, and even did not have the courage to continue fighting.

If it were not for the strict military law, there would have been desertions.

In addition, the great advantage gained by the Germanic Imperial Army on the battlefield became more and more obvious. The morale of the Gauls and the sun never set was greatly affected by this. This made it more difficult for them to withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army.

On November 5, the 4th Army of the Germanic Empire defeated Amiens.

Subsequently, the 71st Infantry Division, 81st Infantry Division and 91st Infantry Division of the Germanic Imperial Army were reorganized, which greatly increased the strength of the 1st Army and once again posed a great threat to Barri, forcing the Gauls to mobilize more troops to defend Bari.

Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army of the Germanic Imperial Army were also successful, defeating Saint-Quentin and Reims, respectively.

A large number of German Imperial Army troops began to move south from the north of Gaul, approaching the Bari line.

The Gallic army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which suffered heavy losses, had to constantly retreat.

The disastrous defeat made the situation even more unfavorable for the Gallic Kingdom and the Empire of the Sunset.

If it could not withstand the attack of the Germanic Imperial Army and caused the vast area of Barri, that is, the central part of Gaul, to fall, the battle of Gaul would be completely over.

The Gauls were also aware of this, and they continued to send more reinforcements for reinforcements.

By the end of November, the front was already on the line from Bar to Verdun. In the middle of these two cities is the Marne River.

A large number of Gallic armies were deployed in the area south of the Marne, relying on the Marne to build a defensive line, hoping to use this defensive line to resist the attack of the Germanic Empire.

Plus, winter has finally arrived. The Germanic Imperial Army had to suspend large-scale military operations. This also made the Gauls and the sun never set finally breathe a sigh of relief.
