The German Navy had slapped the pride of the British Empire in the face so hard it felt like there was no choice but to double, and triple down on their efforts to cross the English Channel and send troops to aid their allies.
Currently, the War was not going in the allies' favor. The French had repeatedly tried to attack German border fortifications across the Rhine, and were now theorizing about marching through Belgium to try to bypass them altogether.
Not remotely aware that the Germans had already planned for this potential scheme. Meanwhile, Italy and Austro-Hungary were going back and forth in the Alps, exchanging blows in small skirmishes here and there meant to test each other's strength before either fully committed to a full-scale assault.
