The Imperial Struggle for Supremacy

Judging from the prologue, China during World War I had a population of 400 million, a modern defense system, and the ability to build 50,000-ton battlecruisers. Those conditions would have easily put China in a dominant position worldwide! Yet, it couldn't even hold its ground, and the author manages to write about a ceasefire and peace negotiations. Did the Allied powers have zeros added to their populations?! How much does the author underestimate the Chinese?

I'm giving this a shout-out! I initially watched Ultimate War, and it captured the feeling I wanted. The later parts were a bit toxic, but the beginning was really well-written.

The article's premise is that Germany's industry is not lagging behind, its population is 400 million, and its army has several million soldiers with a complete reserve system. This means the army is capable of preventing land-based invasions, and its coastal defense system can guarantee the safety of coastal cities and shipbuilding bases.

Objectively speaking, the Empire possessed formidable strength, advanced naval concepts, a correct development direction, and was ahead of other countries in its early development. Its commanders were astute, and it understood Japan's gambling mentality. So why was it so inept from the start?

My favorites are "National Policy" and "Sea Soul". New readers who haven't read them should check them out. This author's books, aside from anything else, are truly grand in scale, voluminous, and satisfying without being padded.

Asia – a vast continent; Toe Peninsula – Indochina Peninsula; Ice Storm Peninsula – Korean Peninsula; Bay of Posah – Persian Gulf; Throat Strait – Strait of Malacca; Two-Carriage Strait – Bashi Channel and Balintang Strait; Vast Sea – Caspian Sea; Pearl Islands – Luzon Islands; Chained Land Bridge – Caucasus Region; Vega River – Indus River; Twin River Plain – Mesopotamia; Sandy Peninsula –…

I read the prologue, which showed cavalry attacking a heavy machine gun position. Did the commander graduate from kindergarten? Is your goal to use human lives to deplete the enemy's ammunition? The soldiers are even trying to be sentimental; are you playing Red Alert? Poison

At the beginning, I was completely confused. What kind of commander would a fully industrialized China need to lose World War I? It can only be said that the author wanted China to lose or that the commanders were all idiots.

I really don't know what to say about the author. More than half of the text is spent on background information. A naval battle not only fails to excite the reader, but also makes the reader want to fall asleep. This is not a novel, it's a summary report!

Holy crap, a new book! I'm blown away! My 3 favorite authors Historical flashing Game-related ashtrays Fantasy genres, get out! Of course, there's also Hongmao, a history writer who I'm not sure if he qualifies as a bot. 😄 I remember the first time I encountered a book by Shan Shuo was "The New History of Ming," which was about 10 years ago.
