After German Navy won the decisive naval battle with British Royal Navy, the entire Germany cheered. They were not only happy for the German Empire's victory, but also cheered for the war that was about to end.
In the eyes of most Germany people, the war should be won soon. Because the Germany* army really has a huge advantage in this war. German Army has achieved victory over Eastern Front. Russia has been defeated. Now Bolshevik Party has signed an armistice treaty with Germany, allowing Germany to achieve extremely fruitful results.
Now, German Navy defeated British Navy. So, apart from Anglo-French Allied Forces deployed in northern France, what force does Allied Powers have to fight Germany? Even if Anglo-French Allied Forces's total military strength has increased to nearly three million people. But the people of Germany are still full of confidence in German military. They believe that German military will definitely win.
As for the other big country in Allied Powers, Kingdom of Italy who betrayed Allied Powers, no one cares at all. After the Italy people joined the war, they made no further achievements except launching a few rounds of offensives in the southern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In other words, it was because they suffered heavy losses in the attack that the Italy people did not dare to act rashly.
Especially after Eastern Front was over, Austro-Hungarian Empire's army was able to return to the country, which directly posed a fatal threat to Kingdom of Italy. While the Italy people strengthened the northern defense line, they also asked for help from Britain and France, hoping that Britain and France could send troops to reinforce them. It's a pity that Britain and France is now unable to protect itself, so naturally there is no power to reinforce them.
Germany General Staff Headquarters, German Army's generals, plus Wilhelm II and Oscar, are all gathered here. After German Navy had achieved a decisive victory in the naval battle, everyone's eyes were focused on the German Army. As long as German Army can defeat Anglo-French Allied Forces in the next battle. Then Germany will definitely win this battle.
Wilhelm II is in a very good mood at the moment. After half a year of preparation, German Army's troops deployed on the western front are already strong. Although, Anglo-French Allied Forces is also getting stronger and stronger. However, Wilhelm II believes that with the strength of the German Army, he will definitely be able to defeat Anglo-French Allied Forces. When German Army defeats Anglo-French Allied Forces, then the final victory will naturally belong to the German Empire. At that time, German Empire will replace British Empire and become the world's hegemon. The entire Europe and even the whole world will crawl at the feet of the German Empire. And he will become the greatest emperor in the world. Thinking of this, Wilhelm II was very excited.
"Everyone, more than half a year has passed since the war started. In the past half year, Empire has achieved brilliant victories one after another. Now, Empire is not far away from winning the final victory. I hope everyone can defeat Anglo-French Allied Forces on Western Front and defeat France. In this case, our enemy will only have one Britain person." Wilhelm II said.
As for Kingdom of Italy, Wilhelm II also ignored it. In Wilhelm II's opinion, Italy people can't even beat Austro-Hungarian Empire, let alone German Empire. At that time, Germany only needs to send a small number of troops to assist Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he will be able to completely defeat Kingdom of Italy. Everything will be very easy.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Imperial Army's generals all replied excitedly.
They were also stimulated by Imperial Navy's victory. In comparison, Imperial Army's performance on Western Front last year was not so satisfactory. Of course, Wilhelm II placed all the blame on Moltke the Younger. These generals naturally believed that the culprit responsible for their failure to win on the Western Front was Moltke the Younger. Although, there are many reasons why German Army failed on the Western Front last year. But no one cares now. Now that Moltke the Younger has taken the blame, naturally no one cares anymore.
"According to the information we have received, the number of Expeditionary Force people sent to France by Britain people has exceeded one million. French Army also has more than two million people. This time we have only deployed eight legions on the Western Front, with a total of 1.8 million people. Can we defeat Anglo-French Allied Forces in one fell swoop?" Wilhelm II asked.
Although, German Army has the best combat effectiveness in the world. However, after going through the training on the battlefield, the gap between the British Army, French Army and German Army is actually not that big. With the German Army at a serious disadvantage in terms of military strength, Wilhelm II is really worried.
"Your Majesty, although Anglo-French Allied Forces has an advantage in terms of military strength. However, a war cannot be won with more people. Our 8th Army Corps wiped out two million Russian troops on Eastern Front last year, which is the best example." Minister of War and Chief of Staff von? Falkenhayn said with a smile.
The other generals also laughed. Indeed, German Army 8th Army Corps's victory at Eastern Front last year shocked everyone. With less than 200,000 troops, he defeated the Russian army of 2 million. Such a victory is absolutely impossible for any one person. Even if the Russian army's combat effectiveness is very bad, even if it is bad, it is not like this.
Of course, the generals were full of envy and admiration for Oscar, who commanded 8th Army Corps in combat. This also gives Oscar, in addition to the aura of Imperial Crown Prince, another aura of military proficiency.
It can be said that Oscar's position over Empire is now completely stable. Except for Wilhelm II, no one is higher than him. As for Oscar's right to inherit the throne, it is extremely stable. Even if Crown Prince Wilhelm wakes up, he will never be able to compete with Oscar for the right to inherit the throne. After all, Imperial Navy has been completely controlled by Oscar. Imperial Army's 8th Army Corps, as well as the newly formed 9th Army Corps and 10th Army Corps, are all controlled by people from Oscar. There are also quite a few of the other seven legions that Oscar can affect.
Oscar, who has mastered military power, and even Wilhelm II may not be able to forcibly depose him. Even Wilhelm II has fully realized the ability of Oscar. If he were asked to choose who would inherit Empire again, he would probably choose Oscar instead of Crown Prince Wilhelm without hesitation.
