The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

In 1795 the situation in Europe remained largely peaceful, despite the turmoil within Europe.

The contradictions between countries continue unabated, but in the absence of any rash action by the four major powers.

The world war could not break out for a while.

However, outside of Europe.

But the flames of war have already burned.

In 1796, a large-scale naval battle broke out in the Far East.

The two warring parties were the Far Eastern overlord and the Japanese state.

It was no surprise that the battle came as a result of their massive arms purchases from Europe.

The countries of Europe have already realized that sooner or later there will be a war in the Far East!

It is also because of this that there are many countries that are concerned about this war.

In addition to being very concerned about the post-war situation in the Far East.

I am also interested in the weapons used by the two warring parties and their performance in battle.

Both countries procured a large number of warships from the Second Reich.

Among them, the Japanese purchased five Nuremberg-class cruisers, and the tonnage of such warships was about 6,000 tons.

This tonnage could have been classified as a second-class battleship ten years ago, but as the former dreadnoughts of various countries entered service. 26 Therefore, the tonnage of the second-class battleship has soared to more than 10,000 tons.

So this tonnage can only be attributed to the cruiser.

Although the Japanese were not equipped with battleships, the performance of these warships.

But no one dares to despise it!

The Second Reich's warships were designed in their own way, and their warships tapped deep into the potential of tonnage.

Although the tonnage of the battleship is small, it is extraordinarily powerful.

Don't look at this battleship, which is only 6,000 tons, but its actual combat effectiveness may exceed that of the 8,000-ton second-class battleships of various countries.

However, the Japanese people were more unlucky.

Because they also met opponents who imported warships from the Second Reich.

Moreover, the other party bought 8,000-ton warships, not only with a greater tonnage than them.

And the firepower and protection capabilities are stronger than theirs.

The only place where they have an advantage may be a maximum speed.

It was precisely by virtue of this advantage that they did not wipe out their entire army and escaped with two warships.

The naval battle that took place in Dadonggou ended with the victory of the Far Eastern hegemon.

In this battle, the Japanese navy lost 7 warships.

Among them were three Nuremberg-class battleships purchased from the Second Reich.

The other four sunken ships were built by themselves, and these ships were thin-skinned and slow.

So in the first round of firefighting at the beginning of the war, they were shot and sunk one after another.

Buried at the bottom of the sea.

Although the Qing army won, they also paid a lot of price.

Because at the time of the battle, there were troop carriers in the fleet accompanying the Qing army.

Therefore, their fleet, in order to protect the safety of the troop carriers, could not go all out to participate in the war.

This led to the sinking of three of their battleships and the sinking of two troop carriers.

In addition to this, they had three battleships wounded, one of which was a Brandenburg-class battleship purchased from the Second Reich.

This naval battle showed the world the power of the warships built by the Second Reich.

Neither the Brandenburg-class battleships, nor the Nuremberg-class battleships.

The performance in this naval battle was excellent!

This earned them an excellent reputation, so even by this time the dreadnoughts had already appeared.

There are still many countries that have traveled thousands of miles to the Second Empire to buy these two warships.

Seeing that these two battleships were so popular, Andrews also followed the trend.

Some modifications were made to the design of these two ships, upgrading them to former dreadnoughts.

In the case of little change in tonnage and cost, by improving the layout of their armament.

Let their combat effectiveness go up a notch!

This change has greatly improved the cost performance of these two warships!

As a result, the number of countries flocking to buy has increased rather than decreased, and it has become more and more!

Sure enough, word-of-mouth is the best advertisement!(If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, the war is not over.

After the naval battle, the two sides fought again on land.

Goryeo became a battlefield for the two countries, but compared to naval battles.

Battles on land are much more intense.

Looking at this posture, the battle between the two countries will not end for a while and a half. []

......

Just when attention was drawn to the war in the Far East, in Europe.

After a failed invasion of North Africa five years ago, Yi Duli was unwilling to choose to send troops again.

However, this time they did not attack the Ottomans, who were protected by the sun never set.

Instead, they chose to attack a small country without a suzerain, Ethiopia.

In order to get their first overseas colony, the Italians even did not hesitate to fall to the sun.

In order to obtain permission for the sun never sets, the right of passage to open the Mediterranean Sea and the Suez Canal.

Let their army reach the battlefield smoothly!

So from another point of view, this war.

In fact, the sun never sets on the people who specially acquiesced in order to win over the sluggish interests and let them join the Entente.

Of course, if the Italians can't defeat the invaded country in this situation.

The sun doesn't set that day and they won't help, and if they want to blame, they can only blame themselves.

What are you afraid of!

Just when all countries thought that the Italian people would take Ethiopia easily and happily like chopping melons and vegetables.

They lost their first battle!

On March 1, 1796, the hesitant fools made too much noise.

As a result, the news was leaked, and Ethiopia wanted to protect itself from being destroyed.

They mobilized all the forces they could, gathered more than 100,000 troops, and took the initiative to meet the Italian army.

The Itali don't take the resistance of this group of natives seriously, in their opinion.

Although the armies of this group of natives were numerous, most of them were formed on an improvised basis. 320

Basically, I didn't have much training and no combat experience.

It's not so much an army as a rabble.

And the other side has rudimentary weapons, several generations behind them.

Many enemies still have cold weapons in their hands, and they expect to fight them with this kind of weapon.

Isn't that hilarious?

Therefore, the Itali were well aware of the enemy's attack.

But he is still careless!

As a result, because of the large interval between the marches, the other side caught the flaw.

On the morning of the Egyptian army's attack, there was a lot of fog on the battlefield.

Their cavalry commander keenly seized the opportunity and sent all the cavalry in his hands out.

The sight of the Italians is affected by the fog, and the distance between them is very large.

So, in the event of a sudden attack by enemy cavalry.

They did not dare to act rashly at all, and their first reaction was to resist on the spot.

This choice allowed the Egyptian army to annihilate the Italian armies scattered in various places one by one.

Although the Italians were better equipped with weapons, the soldiers were better trained.

But every time they fought, they were superior to the enemy with absolutely inferior forces.

As long as the Egyptian army is willing to bear certain losses, they will definitely be able to eat them in exchange for their lives!

It is very unfortunate that the Egyptian army, which defends the country in order to protect its homeland, happens to have such courage.

So, the Italian people are unlucky!.
