Chapter 631: A War of One's Own (5)
'If you don't reach the Great Wall, you're not a hero'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The Hungarian Foreign Minister has not understood what the Chinese Emperor Weeser meant by this sentence. In the foreign minister's view, the Great Wall is just a monument in China, far from the Chinese frontier from beginning to end. This sentence is already a gimmick of the Great Wall tourism industry at this time.
When he saw a long gray dragon stretching through the lofty mountains of the Alabachian Mountains, he suddenly felt that his heart was rewarded. In the eyes of China, the ancient barbarians may have the feeling that 'if you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero'. Only by arriving at the Great Wall first can you have a chance to enter the rich Chinese mainland and plunder. Wasn't the ancestor of the Hungarians, the Rouran people, defeated by the Han Chinese and forced to move westward?
There are two Great Walls in North America, the Northern Great Wall is on the border between China and Britain. After crossing the pass of the North Great Wall, Comrade Foreign Minister felt that it was different. What's the difference? The foreign minister did not distinguish for a moment.
The British Empire, east of the Great Wall, had a soaring fertility rate in the past decade or so, and with the population of the United States, the population barely reached 100 million. There are more than 10 million British Yankees on the island of Great Britain, and more than 80 million British Yankees live in 4 million square kilometers of North America. There are hundreds of cities on an area of more than 4 million square kilometers, and the overall appearance is 'vast and sparsely populated'.
The population of the Min Dynasty, west of the North Great Wall, has exceeded 900 million, heading straight for 1 billion. Even though a large number of Chinese migrate from Asia to North America every year, the 15 million square kilometers of North America had only about 180 million people. There are an average of 12 people per square kilometer, which is a little stronger than no man's land. It is also 'vast and sparsely populated'.
"Foreign Minister, that team of Chinese is so tall." The entourage of the foreign minister exclaimed.
The foreign minister looked out to see a group of Chinese railway workers filling up the train. The lowest of them is above 172, and there are several above 180. This group of people is not conspicuous among the Chinese who come and go. Because the girls of the Min Dynasty in the crowd are also 165 tall.
It dawned on the foreign minister that in Hungary, the average height of a man is 162. In the UK, where the foreign minister has just left, the average height of a man is 165. Even if she is 165 tall, she is not tall among those slender Chinese girls. The foreign minister has been sitting on the train, and he naturally can't see the special difference from his condescending gaze. It just doesn't feel right.
The train continued to move forward, and the foreign minister couldn't help but sigh: "The good life of the Chinese is earlier than ours." Just like in Hungary in recent years, the height of children has generally increased. ”
The comrades accompanying him nodded again and again, "Yes, my brother's child is only twelve years old, and now he is only one head taller than me. According to such a long method, I will definitely surpass me in the future. They're catching up with the good times. When we were children, where we could eat enough, where we had so much meat to eat. ”
This is the general situation in Hungary, and with the development of the new livestock industry in recent years, Hungary still has an adequate food supply in the country, even though it exports a large amount of grain to Germany and Austria every year. Improved seeds, chemical fertilizers, vermicompost manure, pesticides, and Hungarian black soil now have three times the yield per mu more than ten years ago. The food needed to feed the animals has been reduced to half of what it used to be. The total number of animals raised per capita has increased by more than ten times what it used to be.
The changes in these factors of production are superimposed, and everyone can certainly afford to eat meat. Now the little things at least a glass of milk and an egg every morning, the good days are to raise the little things, according to statistics, there are 20% of the baby does not like to eat this thing. At the thought of this, the foreign minister really couldn't react other than sigh.
"Comrade Foreign Minister, are you worried that there is a big difference in size and that we will suffer a loss by fighting with the Russians with bayonets?" The entourage had his opinion on the sigh of the foreign minister.
"Fight bayonets?" The foreign minister was a little surprised.
The entourage, like the Hungarian upper echelons, had served in the army, and he replied worriedly: "Yes." The Russians are slightly inferior in height to the Chinese, and fighting bayonets does not necessarily suffer. But our Red Army was inferior in height to that of the Russians, and if the bayonets were red at the end, I always felt that we would suffer greater. ”
The foreign minister was speechless for a moment, he really didn't expect that the battle would be fought to the level of fighting bayonets. After the appearance of armored forces on the battlefield, the battle has become completely different. The bayonet must at least be close enough. The firepower of the Type 09 gun clan did not leave room for bayonet fighting, at least not for large-scale bayonet battles.
He is not a military chief, and the foreign minister is not willing to continue this discussion. But looking back on the war, he wanted to see Qi Rui, the political commissar of the North American theater, more and more. The upper echelons of Europe know that Qi Rui is Wei Ze's eldest son. Whether it is the inheritance of the eldest son or the inheritance of the strongest son, Qi Rui undoubtedly has an unshakable position. Although the North American population of the crown prince is only 180 million, the average age of these people is less than 25 years old. They are all the younger generation of the Min Dynasty, and they are a generation with momentum.
Without more than 100 million young people, the Asian part of the Republic of China would have become dull, and the Mindynasty's own sociological research group has made great efforts to investigate this. The foreign minister was actually very curious about the result. There is a saying that if the North American part of the Min Dynasty and the Asian part of the Min Dynasty go to war, who will win.
The foreign minister's preferred view is that although there is a huge gap between population and industrial strength, North America has the strongest officer corps in the Republic of China, as well as Qi Rui, the pioneer of motorized infantry and armored troops. With the ability to easily recruit more than 20 million young troops, North America may not be able to present an overwhelming advantage, but it will not suffer.
The city of Tokyo is not too far from the UK, and after crossing the border, the train arrives on the same day. At the dinner, the foreign minister met with political commissar Qi Rui, who is well-known in Europe. The general, who once commanded an army of a million, was tall and well-proportioned, and after seeing the foreign minister, he came directly over to shake hands, and the general greeted the foreign minister, "It's been hard along the way." ”
The foreign minister smiled and said, "Your Excellency, it's good to see you. There are a number of girls on my side who want me to bring you their greetings. ”
Qi Rui was stunned, he didn't understand why the Hungarian Foreign Minister suddenly talked about the girl. The Foreign Minister had to do some explanations. Although His Royal Highness Qi Rui has never appeared on diplomatic occasions, in the eyes of the upper echelons of Europe, especially in the eyes of the upper echelons of Europe, this person was born to be 'true?? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's is extremely charismatic. Even more attractive than His Majesty Weese, who single-handedly created a new dynasty.
After listening to the introduction, Qi Rui smiled bitterly, "Then let them think about it themselves." ”
Such manly words made the foreign minister feel a little awe-inspiring towards Qi Rui, and Qi Rui led the foreign minister to the small room next to him, and after closing the door, Qi Rui said bluntly, "I heard that Comrade Foreign Minister already knows the news of the Russian army's buildup in Ukraine. ”
"Yes." The foreign minister replied simply, "I know that you intend to let Hungary break into Ukraine and annihilate Russia's heavy military group. After thinking about it for the past two days, I felt that although this plan was very good, did Hungary really have the strength to complete this campaign? ”
"War is more cruel, it is how to effectively make our army die. The North American theater of operations has evaluated the Hungarian Red Army and feels that if your strategy is really to deal a fatal blow to Russia, the strategic calculation of accumulating small victories into big victories will not work. Of course, the success rate of the campaign to break into Ukraine to carry out the encirclement and annihilation war is not particularly high, and it is estimated that even if you win, you will probably have to pay 200,000 casualties. And the armored forces will not be able to be used for three months after the victory. But this is already the highest win rate. Now I don't ask you whether you are willing to win, but whether you are willing to pay that price to try to win. ”
Qi Rui's tone was very calm, without the slightest intention of persecution. However, Comrade Foreign Minister felt that he could not breathe. He used to think that there was no possibility of improvement for himself in his thirties, and even if he did, it was some technical proficiency. However, this time on the trip, he found that he had changed from quantitative to qualitative.
At a banquet in Victoria, he talked about life with his English sister paper, saying that 'the condition for success is that someone can teach you and you can afford to lose'. Now the foreign minister has to face this fact at a higher level, and even if he succeeds, he is expected to suffer 200,000 casualties. And that's just an expectation, maybe the battle will be lost, maybe the casualties will be 300,000, or even 500,000. There is a saying in China that 'one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither', and the foreign minister understands that a general must step on his own bones in order to gain his status.
From the point of view of the state, however, all human lives are consumables. It's all just a unit of quantity. The key is not how many people die, but whether you can afford to lose.
At this moment, the foreign minister suddenly realized something. Why did Russia form such a large standing army, the Russian standing army has more than 1.4 million, and after the general mobilization, it can mobilize about 4 million troops. Without such chips, the Russians could not afford to lose. No one in the world now dares to fight the idea of the Republic of China, because the Republic of China proved to the whole world in the North American War that the Republic of China is capable of raising an army of tens of millions. Not only are there so many people, but it is also possible to equip them with complete weapons, provide them with sufficient logistics, and transport this army to fight thousands of miles away.
"I ......," the foreign minister opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat had become dry and unable to speak.
After quickly getting a glass of water and pouring two sips, the foreign minister continued: "The number of troops we can operate from a distance is only about 500,000. ”
"Comrade Foreign Minister, we have our own assessment of the number of your troops. There's really only one thing I want to ask you. If your committee is in session, are you for it or against? Qi Rui's voice was calm and terrifying. And Qi Rui himself obviously didn't notice this fact.
