During the period, in order to resolve the war with France as soon as possible, France and Germany fought for a strategic location. Both sides invested a large number of troops, especially concentrated tens of thousands of artillery warehouses on this front.

The narrow color turned into a dense artillery position. As the saying goes, the first move is the best, and then the action is the disaster. At the beginning of the battle, the German army relied on its artillery advantage to exert the power of the "cannon god". The first fire assault was at a speed of 100,000 hours, poured 2 million artillery shells into the French artillery position like a heavy rain. In order to capture the French army's Duomon Fort, the German army fired 120,000 artillery shells. This overwhelming artillery fire caused the French army to suffer a heavy blow.

After the first round of attacks of the German army ended, the French army used their remaining forces to retaliate against the German artillery positions and areas of heavy troops gathering, destroying some of the German artillery positions. However, the counterattack did not last long. Because, except for a low-quality earthen road leading to the city of Paleduke, all other roads leading to the rear were cut off by the German army, and the ammunition could not be replenished in time.

The French army had to use the artillery shells at a cost-effective manner, which made the already passive French army even more severe. If the German army launched an attack at this time, the French army would have to surrender. Fortunately, the German army was completely unaware of this. The two sides were in a stalemate.

Just when the French army was at a loss, a dramatic change occurred. On this day, the French army was still using shells to fight back at the German positions without any pain. A gunner, whether he had added the wrong dosage or installed the wrong ruler, hit the German shell supply station without being crooked or obliquely. He happened to hit the shell warehouse.

This triggered the largest explosion in World War I. After the silence of the earth, the German ammunition reserves turned into ashes. Only scorched earth was left in the place where the ammunition was stored. In an instant, the cannons on the German positions turned into piles of scrap iron.

After obtaining the information, the French army seized favorable fighter jets and launched a "point-firing" strike on the artillery in the German positions. The German artillery became a fixed target of the French army and was all destroyed. The German army was eventually defeated in the Sesanda battle, and the accidental shell was indeed indelible.

Afterwards, the French army began to launch a counterattack after being supplemented. The French even wanted to end the war with this battle decently, but the Germans reacted very quickly and blocked the gap. The French lost the momentum to advance in front of the trenches.

After losing 200,000 people, they retreated. The Germans lost 300,000 people, and the cumulative losses have reached 1.2 million, and they have basically lost the ability to attack on a large scale.

After basically losing the ability to assault manpower, Germany thought of Chinese tanks. After the United States signed a ceasefire, it handed over all the heavy weapons to China. China already owned 3,000 tanks. It can be said that it is a tank power. Although it is a very simple light tank, it is a large number, which is just a weapon to break through the French.

Two months later, a huge fleet transported a large number of supplies to the German harbor. Given that the war was about to end, China was very happy that someone could buy this batch of scrap copper and iron, and the Germans were also very happy that they bought these supplies with only 2 gold marks. You should know that only the part of the supplies in the United States is of great value.

Through these supplies, the Germans quickly armed forty tank divisions and prepared to level France in one fell swoop.

During World War I, Britain, France and Germany built nearly 10,000 tanks, mainly: American D-type, A-type.99 tanks, etc. Among them, the American D-type 7 tanks had the largest number (more than 1,300). China's 1899 had better performance, equipped with a single rotating turret and elastic suspension device. It was imitated by other countries after the war.

These early tanks had various structures, including fixed overhead turrets or side turrets, rotary turrets or turretless structures, equipped with short tubes with a caliber of 37 to 75 meters, low-speed cannons and several machine guns, or only machine guns. Tank steering is based on clutch and brake systems, some rely on auxiliary gearboxes or motors linked to two tracks, and some use two sets of engine gearbox groups to drive two tracks respectively, and rely on changing the speed ratio of the two tracks.

The tank combat weight is 7~28, the unit power is 2.64.8 kilowatts/ton, the maximum stroke is 3564 meters, and the armor thickness is 530 meters. The model brings endless troubles to German mechanics.

Due to the limitations of technical level and the production equipment at that time, the tank's performance was low, its firepower was mainly used to annihilate living forces. The armor could only defend against guns and shells and fragments, and there were no radio communication equipment and optical observation and aiming instruments. The driving was bumpy, slow, frequent mechanical failures, and the working conditions of the occupants were harsh.

Early tanks could only be used to guide infantry to complete tactical breakthroughs and could not expand their results in depth. However, the victory achieved by the Chinese in the cold Siberia made the Germans blindly believe that with many tanks, the Germans would easily win and the French would sign the agreement again. The German Emperor even expressed his gratitude:

"Even if Emperor Napoleon is reborn, he can only bow down in this situation in exchange for forgiveness from the Germanic Empire!"

The Germans' momentum was like a tiger, which caused uneasiness among the British.

The foreign policy pursued by Britain in the late 19th century was glorious isolation, which was dominated by Benjamin 226; Leigh and Robert Gescoin-Cecil as prime ministers. This term was actually proposed by a Canadian MP who visited the UK, praising Britain for its active non-interference in European affairs.

In all eras, the basic goal of British foreign policy is to maintain a balance of power. The country is something that Britain does not want to see. If Germany controls all Europe, then Britain will lose all barriers and face it directly with the Germans. The British do not want to face the beast Germany directly.

Inadvertently, a huge loophole appeared in the British material blockade. A batch of supplies was sent to France, giving the almost collapsed Gauls a life-saving straw. The source of this batch of supplies cannot be verified, but there were a batch of extremely important weapons, which caused great losses to the Germans.

Anti-tank gun - This kind of tank should have been produced a few years after it appeared before the tank was born. In 1894, a general issued an order

"Developing a rifle is powerful and can penetrate 15mm high-quality steel
