s: Second update asking for votes After the Great Battle of the Mediterranean in February this year, the Allies suffered an unprecedented defeat.
The main fleets of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were completely annihilated.
Since then, they have completely lost control of the Mediterranean.
Most importantly, after suffering this disastrous defeat, the Italians were shaken.
Everyone knows that the morale of the Italians has always been very worrying, and their current situation is also very unoptimistic.
About a quarter of Italy's territory is now occupied by the Allied Powers, mainly Japan.
What good things can the Japanese locust army do in the areas they occupy?
Of course, the sky is high, if the Allies hadn't sent 30 divisions of reinforcements. , and the extensive use of the Source of Courage, they may have fallen to their knees.
Although the Army had suffered successive defeats, the Navy had managed to regain some face.
With such additions and subtractions, it could barely hold on.
But as the navy, the last arch of Italy, collapsed, the Italians finally couldn't hold on any longer.
They really didn't want to fight.
To make matters worse, on the morning of March 5, the Allies, with the threat of victory, simultaneously launched landing operations on Sicily and Sardinia.
Italy, whose navy was almost completely wiped out, had no power to fight back.
The Allied forces successfully landed and took complete control of the two largest Italian islands in mid-March.
At this point, Italians no longer want to play.
For the Italians, this is nothing, because "rebellion" and "surrender" are the racial skills of the Italian people.
If they can't win, they will be beaten.
They just surrender first and then rebel.
So they sent emissaries to contact the Allies on March 19 to prepare for private peace.
But what Yi Daili didn't expect was that their second-rate behavior would soon be exposed by someone unknown, and both Wei Er and Ferdinand knew about it.
You dare to betray your teammates.
Dewei Er and Ferdinand were both furious.
So after discussion, the two German and Austrian emperors immediately ordered the German and Austrian troops who were assisting the defense in Rome to take action.
The private peace negotiations with the Allies were a secret known only to a few high-level officials.
The Italian army did not know about it at all, and naturally they would not be wary of the German and Austrian friendly forces.
On March 22, the four German and Austrian divisions assisting the defense in Rome suddenly turned their backs.
The unprepared Italian army knelt down without any resistance.
They quickly disarmed the Italian army.
At the same time, several elite German and Austrian commandos successfully He invaded key departments such as the Italian Royal Palace and the central government, and firmly controlled both the royal family and the cabinet.
In this way, the Italians' desire to disembark from the pirate ship was in vain.
However, after the incident came out, although the Italian army did not cross, its morale became even lower.
Now the situation in Italy is completely maintained by the troops of Germany, Austria and other countries.
And this also had an extremely bad impact on other countries in the Allies.
Under this circumstance, Germany, as the leader of the alliance, has stepped up its attacks on the Western Front in recent months in order to boost the morale of its own camp, or to prove that it is still capable of fighting.
Naturally, the Allied Powers, which were now in a good situation, would not show weakness and would immediately confront each other tit for tat.
As a result, the European War began at the end of March and entered another climax.
As of the end of June, the casualties of both armies in the past three months had exceeded 3 million.
Moreover, the fighting is now lively not only on the Western Front in Europe, but also in Africa and India.
The independence movement, which had been dormant for a long time under the suppression of the US and Japanese troops, has risen again.
With the support of the Allied Powers and a mysterious organization, mainly the latter, independent organizations in Africa and India sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
The movement of the African and Indian people for independence surged, and the Allied power in Africa and India suffered a heavy blow. .
Moreover, they appear to be more organized this time, with more experience in rebellion.
They have also learned very sophisticated guerrilla tactics, and their weapons have been updated.
Their combat effectiveness is at least twice as high as before, leaving the Allied Powers struggling to deal with it.

In comparison, the situation in India is better.
The British's hundreds of years of rule at that time were not in vain.
They cultivated a considerable number of interest groups and pro-British forces in the local area.
The anti-British rebels fighting for independence fought fiercely with the British and pro-British forces on the vast Indian subcontinent.
The situation in Africa is much worse, because the Europeans do not regard these niggas as human beings at all, and they even do a feeble job of supporting the interest groups.
It was not until the independence movement broke out that the Europeans discovered that they could not find many local supporters at all, and they were immediately plunged into the vast sea of people's war.
The whole of Africa, that is, the Somali region under Chinese rule and the East African region controlled by the Germans, are relatively stable.
The territory of other Allied countries can be said to be at war everywhere.
Countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Japan have finally tasted the taste of people's war.
Of course, the bottom line of the white men at this time is very low.
They also have their own methods for people's war, and they are quite effective.
This method is very simple to say, that is, the "Three Guangs".
After all, the People's War is based on the people.
As long as there are no "people" in the local area, won't the People's War be doomed?
The "Three Guangs" method is just shameless. , you can do it, and the great powers at this time didn't know what a face was.
This is what Britain, France, the United States and Japan think and do.
Anyway, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing and they are very skilled at it.
Britain, France, the United States, and Japan once again began to clean up the colonies, killing any black-skinned or two-legged creature they saw, and the niggas once again fell into hell.
But Africa is so big after all, and there are still some bad guys in East Africa to contain it.
No matter how effective the method is, it will require a lot of military power and time.
Britain and France are now unable to spare any effort, and the United States and Japan have to send more troops to Black Africa again.
Originally, they asked China to increase its troops or help other places suppress bandits and quell chaos.
However, China proposed that because the agreement stipulated that China could not expand its colonies in Africa, the eight divisions currently invested have reached the limit of the agreement.
Unless China is allowed to have larger colonies in Africa, China will not increase its troops.
As for helping other places suppress bandits and quell chaos, we currently have insufficient troops.
The implication is: Since there is no benefit from me, why should I help you in vain?
Of course Britain and France will not do it.
It took a lot of effort to get China to promise not to expand in Africa.
If it agrees to this request now, wouldn't it be in vain?
You know, China's territory now reaches 2,873.51 million square kilometers, ranking second in the world after Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets.
Although it is still a little short of the more than 30 million square kilometers of Opium Niu's territory, the expansion speed is astonishing.
This made Britain and France extremely fearful.
If it were not for the fact that they were unable to take action after the outbreak of the world war, these two old imperialists would have launched suppressive actions against China.
How can we still agree to China's continued expansion?
We have to admit that the outbreak of World War I did give China a god-given opportunity to expand.
During this time when the European powers had no time to look around, it was so cool to seize the territory.
Well, in fact, China is full now, and it will take some time to digest the more than doubled territory.
Otherwise, Wen Desi's temper would not have agreed to the agreement not to expand territory in Africa.
If I eat more food, my belly will burst, and that won’t be fun.
Wen Desi was now sure that Britain and France would not agree, so he took the opportunity to open his mouth.
If Britain and France are not willing, then we will continue to work hard.
Britain and France do not want China to expand its territory in Africa, but China has made it clear that it will never do even a little more work without benefit.
So, the matter fell apart.
Then they have to figure out their own solutions for Africa and India.
Fortunately, the situation has been reversed now, and they are not as anxious to get angry as last year.

It is nothing more than troublesome, and it is better than letting China intervene.
Of course, we are still teammates in the same trench, and this small difference does not affect our cooperation.
In addition to playing soy sauce on the European battlefield, China has made good progress in Africa.
Since China cut off the supply of materials to German East Africa, the once bullish German East African Army has lost its reputation.
Lieutenant General Letto Vorbeck, the commander of the Corps, is indeed very capable and possesses superb command and management skills.
He was called the "African God of War" by the German media, and even the British and French media also adopted this title.
However, no matter how awesome Vorbeck is, he can't conjure provisions and supplies, and the most important thing is that the size of his current East African Legion is much larger than in the original time and space.
With such a configuration, when supplies are sufficient, the combat effectiveness will of course be stronger, so he has also achieved results that far exceed those in the original time and space.
But everything has two sides.
His East African legion consumes much more supplies than the original time and space.
You know, the German East Africa region has no industrial base.
Their weapons, ammunition, and even medicines, etc., all rely on external transportation, and these materials mainly come from China.
So after China's supplies were cut off, his East African Army was in tragedy.
It could only rely on German ocean-going submarines to transport some supplies.
However, compared with the consumption of what the submarines could transport, that little stuff was just a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, Vorbeck had no choice but to shrink his strategy and gradually gave up the British East African Kenya and Uganda they occupied.
So the People's Liberation Army followed them and took the opportunity to take over these places.
Of course, they did not forget to fire a few shots and artillery to show that we had taken them back through fighting.
Now China has recovered most of Kenya and Uganda, and its troops have reached Lake Victoria.
In addition, the performance of the Air Force is also very impressive.
After the Chinese Air Force entered Turkey, it fought with the Allied Air Forces every day.
During this period, there were several large-scale air battles involving more than 200 aircraft.
Now it has produced many aces. .
Colonel Jin Hai, who had the most number of kills, has exceeded 100, becoming the first super ace in Chinese history to have more than 100 kills.
But what depressed Jin Hai was that Wen Desi personally ordered that he would not be allowed to go to the front line again.
There are also other players at the top of the rankings who have been recalled to the country to serve as instructors and are not allowed to go to the front line again.
Of course, the most active among the three armed forces is probably the navy.
After they won the victory in the Kythira Strait in the Mediterranean Sea, they actively engaged in escort operations on the Atlantic route.
June 19, 1919, AD 2760, in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Azores Islands.
The Azores are a volcanic archipelago in the east-central North Atlantic Ocean and are an overseas territory of Portugal.
The archipelago has long been an important supply point for Atlantic shipping routes.
It is a route relay station between Europe, the United States and Africa, and its strategic and transportation location is extremely important.
On the blue sea, a group of dolphins are playing carefree.
At this time, an extremely large fleet appeared on the sky-sea junction in the west.
This is a fleet starting from New York, USA, consisting of more than 300 merchant ships.
Like collecting soldiers, these merchant ships lined up in neat queues and sailed to the British Isles in the northeast.
They formed this formation not to show off, but for safety.
This seemingly neat formation is an anti-submarine formation.
It is the most efficient and effective anti-submarine formation that the three countries of Britain, the United States and France have concluded at the expense of countless blood, ships and cargo.
Merchant ships are discharged from the inside to the outside according to size, type and importance of cargo.
Then the escorting warships will surround them and protect them.
This huge merchant fleet is naturally accompanied by a lot of escort fleets, mainly composed of China, the United States and Japan, and there are also a few British and French destroyers mixed in.
Because China sent the largest number of warships in this escort mission, according to common practice, the chief commander of the Chinese Navy will serve as the commander-in-chief.
On the bridge of the flagship Han Dynasty aircraft carrier, the escort fleet commander Lieutenant General Yue Youyuan was looking at the fleet.
"Haha, this array looks like a shepherd dog herding sheep," Lieutenant General Yue Youyuan put down the telescope and said with a smile.

Captain Wei Yong, the captain, said disapprovingly: "Commander, I think they are exaggerating.
They actually used 74 warships to escort them.
It's just a few submarines.
Is it necessary to do this?"
Yue Youyuan smiled: "There is no way, they are afraid of German submarines.
As of last month, they have sunk more than 9,000 merchant ships by German submarines, with a total tonnage of more than 35 million tons.
We in China Now there are less than 9 million tons of merchant ships, which is almost four times that of ours.
This tonnage is enough to replace all the merchant ships of the United States, Britain and France.
Do you think they are not afraid?"
"Haha, indeed, it hurts to think about this loss.
Most of the merchant ships we built for Britain, the United States and France were in vain, and they were all sunk by the Germans.
It is really heartbreaking to think about it.
Oh, what a waste.
These German submarines It’s really hard work.”
Wei Yong nodded and couldn’t help but feel a little pity.
A 35 million-ton merchant ship, not counting the cargo on it, but this ship is shocking enough.
To be honest, if China had not developed a standard merchant ship such as the "Liberation Ship" that is easy to manufacture, the merchant ships of the Allied Powers would have been wiped out long ago.
Later, the Americans also saw the benefits of the "Liberation Wheel" and proposed to China to purchase patent licenses and drawings, and use the things invented by the Americans 20 years later to make their own money.
Mr.
Wen was naturally very happy with this.
I agreed.
Because for an industrial power and copycat power like the United States, a simple merchant ship like the "Liberation Ship" is not difficult.
Even if China does not sell patents and drawings, they can copy it themselves, and it is not without samples.
With the wealth of the Yankees, it is possible to directly dismantle a new ship and conduct reverse surveying and mapping.
As a result, the world's first industrial power and the second industrial power began to join forces to make dumplings.
The Americans called this kind of merchant ship "sandwich merchant ship", which means that it is simple and fast like a sandwich.
The official name they gave to this kind of merchant ship is "Liberty Ship", which makes people lament the power of historical inertia.
Officially, it was because of the shipwreck between China and the United States that allied shipping was not interrupted.
"The technologies we exchanged with the Germans back then were very advanced.
It was normal for the Allies to have no way to get German submarines."
Yue Youyuan said with a smile, "But now that we have joined, it is different.
Britain and the United States have no good way to get German submarines.
But we are different, we have sonar, we have anti-submarine torpedoes, and our anti-submarine is usually aviation-centric.
As long as German submarines dare to show up, once they are discovered by us, they will not be able to escape."
"Report, Unit 65 has discovered an enemy submarine."
At this time, the communications sergeant suddenly said.
"Aiming west longitude xxx, north latitude xxx, distance 145 kilometers, number of targets 4 to 5":
