"If you do it again?" The storm finally stopped, and Anne gave Wang Haidi a chance to criticize herself and redeem herself as usual.
"Then let me go out and hit Lyman, the foreman of Kiel!"
The years of carrying bags on the wharf were the most painful experience for Wang Haidi. At the age of 16 or 17, this was the most vicious oath of Wang Haidi’s little Anne. More than ten years later, Wang Haidi was in the prime of life, and he was not afraid of the bitter Jewish foreman Lyman at Kiel Wharf, but the love story of the young age continued today.
"Let’s cut you some slack!" Anne stretched out her hand and threw Wang Haidi, who was stained with some alcohol sickness, into the laundry basin to greet Avril and walked towards the hospital laundry.
Wang Haidi finally breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her violently beating chest, until her ears came out to move her voice. Wang Haidi realized that he was not the only one in the ward looking at that damn fat malicious expression, and then associated it with this gentleman’s loud voice. Wang Haidi knew that he was going to throw himself into the Imperial Army.
"There’s something wrong with West Lyme …" For an awkward moment, Marx Hoffman’s playful expression faded, and some fat little beds slightly raised their newspapers sideways and hesitated.
"You mean my wife?" Hoffman’s bed screeched and creaked, and Wang Haidi smiled wryly. "Hoffman Socrates once said that being afraid of his wife is a noble virtue."
Socrates is afraid that his wife is named after his wife. Europe is almost equivalent to the shrew Hoffman. It seems that he didn’t hear Wang Haidi’s shallow jokes and insisted on repeating the question. I said something was wrong with the newspaper!
"Are you worried about the fuel problem of the land cruiser engine?" Wang Haidi’s eyebrows slightly picked a pie pie mysterious way: "Don’t worry that although there are no oil fields in the empire and our alliance, there are in Romania!"
On March 1, 1915, at 9 pm, Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
"Respect for the Tsar, I have mobilized some troops …" A large number of Sofia residents sang and marched in front of the Bulgarian palace to express their support for the country. Army Commander Nikolai Cankov took his eyes back from the front of the palace and said lightly, "If the Serbs refuse to fight, it will be inevitable!"
On March 7, the Bulgarian government suddenly issued an ultimatum to Serbia, demanding that Serbian troops withdraw from Marton, Bulgaria, and compensate Bulgaria for the losses of the Second Balkan War.
"I intend to participate in the competition of European powers, but now I suspect that it is the most favorable opportunity to recover the territory, weaken and destroy Serbia."
Dinan used to be the most individualistic king in Europe. He was a biologist, botanist, entomologist and postman. He was the first head of state to fly in the world. His sexual orientation shocked his relatives. His uncle, Franz josef i, the emperor of Austria-Hungary, said that "it is his custom to be unexpected", but Dinan still felt pressure to be independent in front of national interests.
Although both belong to Slavic nationality, the contradiction between Bulgaria and Serbia has a long history.
For a long time, the Balkans were ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The Turks defeated in the second Russian-Turkish war signed the Treaty of San Stefano. Since the Crimean War emerged in the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire had a flash in the pan, and then its national strength plummeted into the second century. The Ottoman Empire’s control over parts of Europe was not as good as before. In 1912, Russia supported Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Mongolia to form a Balkan alliance to wage war against the Ottoman Empire.
Although the armored cruiser Hamidiya and Raouf School had a flash of guerrilla warfare, a small number of Turkish troops were trained by German instructors, but Osman’s failure was still inevitable. On May 3, 1913, the Balkan League of Turkey signed the London Treaty, which stipulated that Ezri’s Hamidina line was ceded to the Balkan League countries except Albania and Crete. Albania’s independence must be supervised by Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Italy. The Aegean Islands issue must be handled by Germany, Austria, Britain and Russia.
After the First Balkan War, Bulgaria became the biggest winner. It has the largest scale and fighting capacity of the Balkan League, and the army has the most territory. This is Bulgaria’s luck and Bulgaria’s misfortune. In June 1913, the uneven distribution of spoils led to the disintegration of the Balkan League. Serbia and Greece secretly signed an anti-insurance treaty. Romania later joined Bulgaria and realized that they were in a bad situation, so Germany supported the start of army preparation.
On June 29th, 1913, a dog-eat-dog farce was played before the ink on the London Contract, and the Turks soon joined in to see that the situation was out of control, and the chaos began to intensify under the pretext of interfering in sending troops to the Balkans!
Because Germany was besieged on all sides, the Bulgarians were soon defeated. On January 1, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Montenegro and Romania signed the Bucharest Peace Treaty. The young kingdom lost most of the land it gained in the first Balkan war in 1912. Serbia gained a part of Marton Thrace, most of which was ceded to Greece, Nando, Brogat and Romania, and even the weakest Mengoro was given a small amount of territory.
Although the Balkan Peninsula, a land rich in "magic", is so-called just and noble, Bulgarians still feel that they have been cheated and suffered greatly. They are eager to get back everything they want, even if they give up neutrality and get involved in the uncertain European war!
"General Cankov, if this is the only way for Bulgaria to be reborn, then fight!"
On March 1, 1915, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, Belgrade, the capital of Virvia.
Although the Serbs once abandoned Belgrade, it was suspected that it was a good medicine to treat trauma. In March, the streets of Belgrade were filled with white fog, and destructive forces were brewing in broken walls.
The meeting of Peter I’s Palace in Serbian Kingdom is being held. The Regent, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, General Zwokin Misic and General Ladomir Putinik are unhurriedly presenting their views, unaware that the last day is left before the Bulgarian ultimatum.
"The British ambassador asked us to return the Marton land to stabilize the Bulgarians who were eager to move …" The Serbian foreign minister slowly revealed that the British ambassador had a plan for the situation in the Balkans, and of course the militant foreign minister had reservations when repeating it.
On March 7, 1915, after learning that Bulgaria had threatened the allied country Serbia with war, British Foreign Secretary Edward Gray was keenly aware that the pre-emptive layout of the allied country Balkans might fall apart to save the situation. Edward Gray sent a message to Belgrade asking the British ambassador to Serbia to make concessions at all costs to stabilize Bulgaria from the Mediterranean and the Balkans and completely fall to the allies.
This is obviously a problem to be solved. It is inevitable for Bulgarians to sharpen their swords for Marton, but Serbia’s ambition for rich Marton is unimaginable to ordinary people. Even when the Austro-Hungarian army attacked the Serbs in 1914, it did not withdraw its troops stationed in Marton. Not only that, the Serbian government believed that it was necessary to increase its troops stationed there and suppress the local rebellion. After thinking hard, the British ambassador had to make a compromise proposal on March 9-"Return some Marton land to stabilize Bulgaria"
"Why sacrifice Serbia’s interests to satisfy that humble and poor country?" On behalf of the military, General Ladomir Putinik unconsciously hummed a pair of British people and decided to be sarcastic. "The British taught the Irish island to’ stabilize’ the German high seas fleet without taking anything?"
General Ladomir Putinik’s views represent the opinions of the vast majority of Serbs-even if Serbia has already taken care of itself, it is absolutely impossible to give up Marton.
"But this is the final opinion of the Allies after all!" King Peter I, who is very old, has tried his best to deal with the Regent Alexander, who is relatively energetic in political affairs. Although he feels good about himself, he still has some doubts about the mediation of the British.
"Regent, maybe the British should listen to us at this stage!" General Ladomir Putinik said, "The British suffered a fiasco in Mudros Bay and a fiasco in the North Sea. The former caused the British Mediterranean Fleet to lose a capital ship, three old battleships and more than four old battleships to suffer heavy losses. The latter caused the British to lose a capital ship. Now the German high seas fleet and the naval god of war Heidi Selim have arrived in the city, and the British are bound to deploy ships from the Mediterranean Fleet to strengthen the soil defense. The Garipoli landing plan has almost been declared dead …"
"So we openly rejected the Bulgarian barking like a mad dog and asked the British and French armies of Lemnos Island, Alexandria and Port Said to reinforce us!" The Regent soon thought of Ladomir Putinik’s subtext. He clenched his fist in high spirits. "Kidnapping the British and letting them work for us. Maybe we can take the opportunity to harvest the whole Balkans, Serbian Balkans!"
Regent Alexander’s voice just fell and his father had not asked about state affairs for a long time. Old King Peter I suddenly got up from his wheelchair and knocked on the table and shouted, "Then act!"
"No, Selim, I said this!" Max Hoffman’s fingers follow the newspaper. The 21st century looks like a tank musket with a cold light. The muzzle skips those ulterior data. The narration points directly at the newspaper photo of Wang Haidi. "Maybe you are in trouble …"
"Hoffman does have some people who want to deal with me, but these despicable means can’t stop me from moving forward!" Wang Haidi finally stopped caring about the left and right. vice admiral held the bed board and stretched out his middle finger to make a piercing gesture. "This time my goal is the Imperial Navy Minister-Edward von Capelle!"
The second gun The first chapter, Gerakl gold (7)
> the first chapter, Gerakl gold seven.
Germany belongs to high latitudes, with cold and dry winters and mild and rainy summers. Only in the southwest valley and the foothills of the Alps can sufficient sunshine be ensured.
March is warm, spring is slow to come, and the cold wind is cold. From time to time, German land is raging, and most parts of Germany are still shrouded in gloom. However, Berlin seems to be an accident. This metropolis, which is not lacking in medieval classicism and stability, but does not show the edge of modernization, rarely welcomes the long-lost sunshine.
When it clears up, there are almost no unnecessary impurities. Red blood and the setting sun hang in the sky, and a few sunset clouds are lazy to decorate.
From time to time, the manhole cover of the underground pipeline spews out some steam from the industrial age. There are long queues in front of the bakery. Walking passers-by in the park are in twos and threes. Berliners bring the German nation into life in a rigorous way, except for the recruitment advertisements and newspaper noise. It is quiet here at dusk, and Berlin has not suffered too many wars.
"The Admiralty announced an emergency high-level meeting on the afternoon of March 11th to discuss whether to accept the resignation of General Heidi Selim and let the naval prosecutor intervene in the investigation!"
The sun shines evenly on the west oblique, which is a refreshing smell, but the Berlin people who hold the Berlin Chronicle feel cold all over.
In the past day, too many stories happened in German newspapers, which rushed to draft overnight and issued extra numbers.
The powerful empire has fallen into chaos. Lloyd George resigned, and the Conservative Party almost achieved great success without fighting. Arthur Belfo, who has a strong personality, and Henry Jackson, who lays stress on technology, were taken over by the Minister of the Navy and the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet, respectively, and the top of the Royal Navy was bloodbath.
After the government launched a series of crises, the proud British finally calmed down. Only then did they feel scared. It was a chill that made the imperial people feel strange because their sworn enemy Germany had arrived in the city.
How many years has Britain not encountered such an embarrassing situation? In ancient times, in the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch brazenly shelled the coastline of the British Empire in the naval battle of Los tofte. In November of last year, the Dutch ruling William led 14,000 Dutch soldiers to land in the British Empire, which was called the glorious revolution.
This is the last memory of the British people about the invasion of foreign enemies. If it were not for the history of the naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, it would have been forgotten. After the decisive battle in the North Sea, the British could no longer find a fig leaf to cover their faces. No matter how much they cherish the past, they could not change the sinister situation facing Britain.
Harriet’s fleet was crippled. Although the loss of warships and officers and men was only nine Niu Yi hairs compared with that of the British Empire, it still took a generation for courage and determination to save the Channel Fleet, which was greatly weakened by Churchill’s plan to fight in Daniil. Now the Channel Fleet is mired in German submarine warfare and mine warfare, and it is hard to extricate itself from the pride of the British Isles-can the big fleet be worse than them?
At the beginning of Taiwan, Arthur Belfo, Minister of the British Navy, announced that he would give full play to the potential of the British shipyard to crush the ocean fleet. Churchill, the former secretary of the British navy, announced that he would organize an independent Sixth Rifle Battalion with no more than 600 troops to join the French battlefield. The British chose to let the Germans secretly rejoice because Germany was used to less versus more.
On March 1 ST, in the debate of the House of Representatives of the United States, faced with the heckling of nosy Republicans, President Wilson reiterated the principle of neutrality. He not only cited the decisive battle in the North Sea that shocked the world, but also revealed the number of American casualties in the European war for the first time.
The War of Independence, the Civil War, the United States and its former suzerain country, Britain, were a lot of dirty things, but these two countries with the same roots and the same origin remained inextricably linked. At the beginning of the European War, the United States organized more than two regiments of volunteers to join the French battlefield, and it took a long time to rearm and train. These two regiments failed to catch up with the tragic border war in 1914 and the battle of the Marne River in 1915, and the Americans finally joined in and attacked the German position with the cowboys and British troops, and then lost nearly two-thirds of their troops one day.
Wilson’s enumeration of figures frightened the peace-loving Uncle Sam. You must know that in March 1915, there were only two South Carolina-class two Delaware-class two Florida-class two Wyoming-class two new york-class ships, totaling ten. That is to say, a medium-sized naval battle in Shazhou, Dogel, was enough to make Americans lose more than one-third of their combat power. Just after the final battle in the North Sea, I am afraid that the US Navy will fall back to the era of fear of ships.
How can the American army, which is more "lean" than Britain, be able to support the tens of thousands of bloodshed in Europe every day?
After the congressional debate, every Republican received several pairs of shoes and bullets. The opening shock of the Wall Street financial market can be expected. It is not far from the panic selling of British government bonds as a plague. Belfo expects a new round of government bonds to be aborted.
The passive situation of allies in distant southern and southeastern Europe was reversed almost overnight.
For the first time, Giomedi broke his principle of not disrupting the order of the kingdom and provoked a certain degree of opposition from the king of parliament. King vittorio Emmanuel hastily terminated all negotiations, while Foreign Minister Sonnino visited Berlin on March 1.
The allies were once limited to this sunny Mediterranean country, which could barely rank among the imperialist powers, but the British themselves screwed it up. Although Italy did not fall to the allies, on March 9, two joint-power battleships and an armored cruiser of Austria-Hungary swaggered across the Adriatic Sea. On March 1, Sonnino was intriguing. What did the Berlin brigade say?
This is not the end of the lucky day of the Allies. On March 7, Bulgaria issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which belongs to the Allies, demanding that Serbia withdraw from Marton before March 11 and compensate for the losses.
After the outbreak of the European War, many neutral people accused the Serbs of the Sarajevo incident, which inadvertently worsened the situation and accelerated the outbreak of the war. The Serbs were responsible for the outbreak of the war. On March 1, 1915, the simple and rude logical way in which the Serbs handled the crisis once again shocked the world.
Belgrade spent three days in a meeting with the British ambassador complaining that Serbian politicians would hardly look at Bulgaria’s ultimatum except for the meeting and shouting slogans. One day later, Serbia not only failed to discuss practical methods, but also responded to the Bulgarian king with a strongly worded refusal.
Bulgaria was angered. On the evening of March 1, Bulgaria announced the general mobilization of the country. Ten minutes later, King Dinan read "Declaration on Serbia". At 9: 33 pm, the first army entered the Serbian-controlled Marton area and Serbia deployed border troops to exchange fire.
At 9 o’clock on the evening of March 1, he declared that "the fate of Serbia is the fate of Mengoro" and "stick to the neutral bottom line". King Nicholas I of Mengoro couldn’t wait to jump out and declare war on Serbia, and the poor and weak army also marched northward at night.
Newspapers, extra newspapers and stations are full of news that makes the Allies’ blood spurt, but for Berliners, all this is nothing compared with the resignation of Heidi Sillem, the German national hero of Imperial vice admiral.
A few days ago, the New Prussian newspaper, which has always adhered to its anti-naval stance, took the lead in poking out the clue that the first reconnaissance fleet of the North Sea was mobilized without authorization. Out of fear of Lombby’s influence on Heidi Sillem Empire, the New Prussian newspaper chose the most subtle way to hint to readers that it was directed at Sillem.
After all, the Berliner’s former Prussian newspaper has a landlord background. The New Prussian newspaper is anti-navy, and at the same time it has always insisted on being anti-Heidi Selim. The New Prussian newspaper slandered Heidi Selim and angered the Berliners. They blocked the newspaper’s protests and demanded that the editor-in-chief apologize in the newspaper, but the development of the situation seems to deviate from the simple ideas of the Berliners.
Two days ago, most imperial newspapers received signatures, and many sailors, naval staff officers and logistics officers in Port William recited materials, thus attracting more and more media in Heidi Selim. Obviously, the imperial propaganda department was disturbed by some external force and was indifferent to this chaos.
Berliners finally realized that they were deceived by the wonderful tactics of General Heidi Selim before the decisive battle in the North Sea-leading the first reconnaissance fleet to make a long-distance raid from the Baltic Sea without the consent of the naval staff, that is, it was completely unauthorized transfer
Germany is a paranoid country about discipline and observing discipline. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that Germany does not exclude creativity and imagination, nor does it hate victory and glory. However, this does not mean that they can bear to mobilize this country rich in philosophers without authorization. This nation, which has always made a lonely gesture against the world, has not yet learned to realize their idea that a temporary victory cannot be equated with a long-term system.
"But he is general Heidi Selim after all! He worked in almost every desolate colony in Germany. He gambled his life to win more than once. After the decisive battle in the North Sea, he enjoyed the moment of victory and exhausted himself in the commander’s lounge! For such a general who is dedicated to the German nation, where can he be cross? "
Confusion is inevitable, and the mood is complicated. Berliners are silent, and the navy has chosen silence in the face of pressure.
On March 11, 1915, two heartbreaking news went hand in hand, and the Berlin Morning Post, the largest circulation newspaper in Germany, unexpectedly published a resignation letter signed by Heidi Selim. The navy will hold an emergency high-level meeting on the afternoon of March 11 to discuss whether to accept the resignation of General Heidi Selim and let the independent prosecutor of the navy intervene in the investigation department.
"Although young Germans compare me to Friedrich Liszt, although imperial naval officers and soldiers affectionately call me’ invincible Ares’, although the empire and the Union regard me as a key figure in naval warfare, Heidi Selim has to admit that I have just made an unforgivable mistake in naval warfare."
