December 15, 1914, AD 2755.
The First World War has been going on for 8 months.
This war is one of the most destructive wars in European history.
The fronts are mainly divided into the eastern front where Russia fights against Germany and Austria, the western front where Britain and France fight against Germany, and the southern front which includes Serbia against Austria.
On the Balkan front where Hungary and Bulgaria fought, the western front was the most brutal.
As of December 10, the total number of military personnel and civilian deaths on both sides of the war exceeded the three million mark, with the Allies accounting for more than 80%.
The worst of them was the woolly bear, which lost 970,000 gray livestock.
Then came France, which lost 660,000 officers and soldiers.
More than 580,000 British troops died, including 46,000 in Australia, 54,000 in Canada, and 45,000 in India.
The Serbian army suffered 400,000 casualties.
The Japanese army lost more than 80,000 people, and all five divisions sent to Europe were disabled.
In addition, there were more than 50,000 people killed in Belgium and more than 1,000 people killed in Luxembourg.
In addition, nearly 360,000 people entered German prisoner-of-war camps, mostly Russian troops.
The Allied forces suffered 2.75 million casualties and more than 6 million disabled people.
Another 360,000 people were captured.
More than 400,000 civilians died and 1 million were injured.
The Allies suffered much smaller losses, with more than 200,000 killed in Germany, more than 280,000 killed in Austria-Hungary, and more than 20,000 killed in Bulgaria.
A total of 500,000 officers and soldiers died, less than 5,000 were captured, and 1.36 million were wounded.
In addition, nearly 20,000 civilians died and 80,000 were injured.
Because the Allies in this plane have the strong support of Wen Desi, the extra-large "Self-Qian Five Marks", the strength of the Allies is much stronger than in the original time and space, especially Germany.
Therefore, for the Allies, a war in this plane is far more powerful than that of the original time and space.
The original time and space was much crueler, and the number of casualties suffered by the Allied Powers even exceeded the predictions of the military experts of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.
This level of casualties has far exceeded that of the same period in the original time and space.
Both warring parties were frightened by this astonishing loss, but they are now riding a tiger with difficulty.
It is impossible not to lose one side or both sides are exhausted and unable to fight.
Give up.
Moreover, such a casualty rate also frightened the onlookers who had some thoughts.
For example, some countries such as Italy, Portugal, and the Ottomans were so frightened that they shrank back.
They all thought: Let's just collect tolls and buy supplies to make a fortune, and don't get involved in things like war.
Across the ocean, the United States thinks so even more, especially with the help of the Zentraedi Consortium and the Lando Consortium.
The American media rushed to report on the war situation in Europe, especially highlighting the cruelty of the war.
Countless photos of the dead in miserable conditions, crying families, ruined cities, etc. filled the pages of major newspapers, making the American people's isolationist sentiment even stronger.
Because the public response was so great, President Thomas Wilson had to publicly state: The United States will never take the initiative to participate in the war.
As long as they do not come to attack us, we will remain neutral.
Although the Allied Powers were in a bad situation in Europe and were beaten by Erdezi, they still achieved greater results in another battlefield, Africa.
Because the British Empire was a powerful maritime empire, with the world's largest navy and a monopoly on the Atlantic sea routes.
Therefore, when World War I broke out, Britain blocked the Atlantic shipping lanes to the Allies, making it impossible for Germany to provide assistance to its African colonies, and Germany did not have many troops stationed in these colonies.
Therefore, except for the stubborn resistance in German East Africa and Cameroon, the Allies did not encounter much resistance during their attacks on other German colonies.
Togo is the smallest German colony in Africa and the first German colony occupied by the Allies.
The Germans only had more than 100 troops stationed there, so the Allies took only 23 days to occupy the area on June 2, 1914, with nearly zero resistance.
In German South-West Africa Namibia, the enemy the German army faced was the Union of South Africa army supported by the British.
In arid South-West Africa, most of its population was concentrated in the capital Wenhoek, and the German army stationed here was only 5,000 people. .
The war broke out in May 1914.

The isolated Southwest Africa was invaded by the South African army.
Although the local German army managed to stop it, the number of troops was too small to fight against the South African army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers and was familiar with the desert terrain.
The progress of the South African army was much faster than that of the British and French in Europe.
By December 15, the South African army had approached Wenhoek, the capital of Southwest Africa, and there were less than 2,000 local German troops with combat effectiveness.
Due to Cameroon's unfortunate location, the German defenders there were besieged from three sides: British Nigeria, French Equatorial Africa, and Belgian Congo.
However, the defenders resisted tenaciously, causing the Allies a headache and making progress extremely slow.
The Battle of German East Africa was the largest war on the African battlefield, with both sides investing more troops than in other colonial wars.
The British-led Entente encountered stiff resistance in East Africa from German colonial garrisons and indigenous forces commanded by Major General Lettow Vorbeck.
There are only 13,000 German troops here, of which only 3,000 are German officers and soldiers, and the rest are indigenous militias composed of local people.
Military experts from all over the world believed that Germany could not last long, but Lettow Vorbeck made everyone drop their glasses.
With this man, he not only held back the 40,000 British and Belgian coalition forces, but also defeated them.
He was defeated completely and fell into the street again and again.
Seeing Brother Vorbeck performing so well also aroused the interest of Chinese senior officials.
"This Vorbeck has done a good job.
I think more assistance should be provided to him to contain more Allied troops on the African battlefield."
Wen Desi also checked the information and knew that this man was a very unnatural figure.
Relying on more than 10,000 troops who lacked supplies, he managed to contain the 300,000-strong Allied army, and also made the Allies miserable.
When the German troops in Europe were about to rush to the streets, he was able to organize a counterattack.
If it weren't for the lack of backup, he would definitely have done greater things.
Xin Jie also said: "Yes, Letto Vorbeck is indeed a famous general.
We have carefully studied his battle cases and found that his tactics are flexible and he is very good at using all his own advantages.
And he also has a strong organization Ability, under his training, African natives can actually become qualified modern soldiers. " Wen Desi knocked on the table and said: "How about this?
Let's discuss it with Germany.
Vorbeck will first provide equipment and supplies for 30,000 people.
If the performance is good, we will continue to provide assistance."
"But how do we transport things there?"
Deputy Prime Minister Xiao Tu asked: "The British suffered a big loss in the Gulf of Aden last time and have blocked the coastline of East Africa.
It may be difficult for our fleet to get through."
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Wang Tiechui smiled and said: "Vice Premier Xiao, you can rest assured about this.
We now have special transport submarines that can deliver these things to East Africa without anyone noticing."
At today's Military Commission meeting, Wen Desi continued: "In addition, India is too quiet now, and the British have too much time to take care of themselves.
They should be bolder.
Also, the people's power in Afghanistan has been established, so Persia's It’s time for the Socialist Workers’ and Peasants’ Party to take action.
This is a rare opportunity and we can’t miss it.”
"The humanitarian relief supplies we organize must be delivered safely and smoothly to the freedom-loving people of India."
Nellore, India.
Nellore is a small city in southeastern India, located near the mouth of the Benner River.
There is a remote fishing port dozens of kilometers outside Nellore.
A few years ago, a wealthy businessman from out of town took a fancy to this place and bought the entire village.
The original landowner sold it and moved away.
He disappeared and disappeared.
The original villagers also received a resettlement fee.
Some moved away, while others were recruited by the wealthy businessman to work in the manor in the north.
After wealthy businessmen bought this place, they began to carry out extensive construction.
According to him, he is planning to build this place into a holiday villa area.

However, this was an unfinished project.
After the wealthy businessmen built the roads and docks, they ran out of funds, so they only hastily built a few villas and warehouses and then stopped work.
Later, the place was resold to a local businessman named Singer, who was engaged in import and export trade.
He used the place as a warehouse.
Today, Boss Singh sent some workers home, leaving himself and a few confidants behind.
Those workers vaguely knew that their boss was a smuggler and was preparing to receive the goods at this moment.
However, it would be abnormal if those engaged in import and export trade these days do not engage in smuggling.
Besides, Boss Singh is a rare and kind person.
His salary and benefits are relatively high, and he is much more conscientious than his colleagues, so the workers They all pretended not to know.
I also heard that someone wanted to trip up Singer and reported the company's smuggling activities to the government.
However, after an investigation, the government said that Singer was an innocent and law-abiding businessman.
In the end, nothing happened to Singer.
Instead, the whole family of the guys who reported him disappeared.
From then on no one dared to report him.
After nightfall, people drove carriages here one after another.
These people were all strong young men with weapons in their hands.
These people came to the gate, said a few words to the guard, then took out a small notebook, showed it, and were put in.
More than a hundred horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and even a dozen heavy-duty trucks arrived one after another.
These vehicles are all parked in the open space next to the pier.
Late at night, a few lights were lit on the pier, and Singer and a large group of people were waiting to get on the pier.
Singh is of medium build, has a typical Kshatriya appearance, and is about thirty years old.
People like this are very common in India, there are eight million if not ten million.
Singer stood on the pier and looked at the sea.
It was late at night and he obviously couldn't see anything.
He gestured to the back, and immediately two men came over carrying a large box.
After opening the box, there was a radio inside, and they immediately started working on it.
After a while, a telegraph operator raised his head and said: "Minister Singh, there is a response.
They are in deep water 10 nautical miles away."
"Okay, tell them to come quickly, we are ready."
Singer nodded.
He then ordered the people next to him: "Raman, go drive the crane.
Zaku, go prepare the forklift."
The crowd immediately separated and each was busy with his own business.
Ten minutes later, a lot of waves suddenly appeared on the sea surface in front of the pier, and big puffs of bubbles appeared.
A large submarine shaped like a giant whale rose from the sea to the surface.
Singer immediately picked up a signal light, shook it left and right, and repeated it several times.
At this time, many lights were also lit on the pier, illuminating the berth brightly.
At the same time, two small airboats drove over to pilot the submarine.
Although this place is inconspicuous, it is a natural deep-water harbor, but the place is a bit small.
After being built by two bosses, this wharf can now dock 10,000-ton cargo ships.
After a while, the submarine successfully docked.
A dozen people in sailor uniforms came out, and Singer quickly greeted them, and the two sides communicated in low voices on the dock.
Careful people will find that there are no identifiable marks on this submarine, and even the clothes worn by the people on the submarine do not have any identifiable marks.
Even their conversations were in English, and their appearance was even more difficult to judge, because there were all kinds of people among them, and the one at the head had a typical yellow and white mixed-race appearance.
"Comrade Singh, these are the humanitarian relief supplies provided by the organization this time," the mixed-race man in the lead said in fluent American English.

As he spoke, he handed over the folder in his hand.
"This is the list.
Sign it and sign it to me after acceptance."
"Thank you very much, Comrade Mark, you have worked hard all the way."
Singer smiled and took the folder.
The two of them were talking to one side, but the others were not idle.
This was not the first time for everyone to do this kind of thing.
They almost did it by themselves without any instructions from their superiors.
"Kakakaka" I saw the back shell of the submarine slowly parting to both sides amidst a burst of mechanical sound, revealing a large cargo hold with dozens of standard containers stacked in it.
The people on Singer's side took action immediately.
They sent a group of people to go up to the submarine's cargo hold and attach slings and hooks to the containers.
Another group of people skillfully operated the loading and unloading equipment at the dock and hoisted the containers onto the dock one by one.
Another group of people immediately opened the container and took out all the goods inside.
"Good guy, is this the organization's new transport submarine?
It's so big?"
Singer asked curiously.
This submarine is very different from a submarine.
Its hull is very fat, similar to that of a merchant ship.
"Yes, this is the latest type of transport submarine, which is specially prepared by the organization to transport humanitarian relief supplies to various places."
Mark said proudly: "The standard underwater displacement is 5,800 tons, and it can load 36 12-meter standard containers, or 2,300 tons of bulk cargo” Singer walked over to a pile of crates that had just been removed from shipping containers.
Singer asked someone to open a box.
Inside was a layer of waterproof tarpaulin.
When the tarpaulin was lifted, dozens of shiny black rifles were revealed.
Singer picked up a rifle, wiped off the anti-rust butter on it, skillfully opened the bolt and removed the magazine.
"Good gun" Singer put down the gun, motioned for his men to move away, picked up a cloth and wiped the butter off his hands.
“They’re all fresh from the factory.”
"Of course they are all new," Mark said with a smile: "Each crate contains 20 rifles and accessories, and each container contains 150 crates.
This time there are 36 containers in total, 10 of which are rifles.
Six containers are pistols and submachine guns, five containers are light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and five containers are mortars and infantry guns.
The remaining containers are ammunition, medicine, radio and other technical equipment."
"Great, our manpower is ready, now we just need these things.
In the past, we could buy them from outside, but now the British are tightening their inspections, and international arms dealers can't bring them in.
We can only rely on It’s a submarine,” Singh sighed.
Two hours later, the transport submarine quietly left the dock and disappeared underwater.
After another 2 hours, the people on the dock also dispersed.
The carriages and cars were all loaded with goods and left the place under the cover of night
