427 The Fear of Europeans
"Master, the combined fleet of the British and the Spaniards has completely blocked the route between Sicily and the Italian peninsula, and Garibaldi, with the support of the British, has successfully taken control of the power in Sicily, and announced the establishment of the Italian National Republic in a high-profile manner, kicking the Sardinian royal family to the 'bottom of the cliff'......" Qin Xue'er reported to Lin Haoda seriously.
The shortcomings of the navy were placed in front of Lin Haoda for the first time, if it weren't for the fact that the all-out war system had already realized Lin Haoda's difficulties and shortcomings, and only required the full occupation of the Italian peninsula instead of the entire Italian kingdom in the issued mission, Lin Haoda would have been stuck here for a long time......
Of course, as a full-scale war system dedicated to helping Lin Haoda unify the whole world, it is impossible not to take into account this obvious shortcoming, the reason why the all-out war system does not issue naval mission rewards is mainly to accumulate all resources in terms of army combat strength and scientific and technological superiority, and the civilization of the Eurasian continent is equivalent to the fundamental essence of this parallel world, so the all-out war system is not in a hurry to open up overseas territories.
At least, it is necessary to defeat the military powers on the European land, and the all-out war system will open up the scientific and technological rewards of the navy, and the all-out war system has always adhered to the principle of either not doing it, and once it is done, it must have an advantage, and the war of equal strength is always disliked by those in power, which will only delay the process of war, waste a lot of human and financial resources, and crushing war is the ultimate goal of the heads of state!
It's just that there are too many unpredictable factors in war, no matter how perfect the plan and estimate before the war, there will always be such and such accidents after the war, and later generations will analyze the historical data as the foundation, and naturally they can easily find the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides of the war and the wrong strategic planning, but for the governments of the time at that time, it is difficult to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and the enemy!
Just like on the eve of World War II, Britain, France and other European powers, recognized that the German military force led by Hitler was not easy to provoke, and tried their best to avoid war with Germany, which was bombed with explosive troops and equipment, but in the end it was impossible to avoid war.
Even if the war started, Britain and France did not think that they would lose, after all, they took the initiative to declare war on Germany, who would have thought that France would be defeated so quickly and surrender to Hitler?
Naturally, Hitler, who had won many battles, did not expect that Britain, which was still struggling, would finally take advantage of the stalemate on the Soviet-German battlefield and move back to the disadvantage little by little!
Of course, Hitler's biggest mistake in World War II was that he misestimated the war potential of the Soviet Red Army and Stalin's determination to resist, and all the countries that were dyed red were not easy to provoke, which was incomprehensible to the capitalist republics before the war......
This kind of pre-war miscalculation, not to mention the Warring States in World War I and World War II, is not uncommon even in later generations, such as the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, the Libyan Civil War, and so on.
Where did the tyrant dictator like Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi dare to unilaterally cut off the dollar to settle oil and compete with the world's No. 1 old United States?
It's not that they miscalculated the political direction of the United States, thinking that the backers behind them were enough to save their lives, or that they could defeat the high-tech armed army to the teeth by relying on the will of the people, and the result was ......
Speaking of humanitarianism and national spirit alone, Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi can definitely be regarded as 'benevolent monarchs', and the lives of the Iraqi people are many times better than before the arrival of US troops!
Unfortunately, with the development of weapons technology, the power of the people is gradually weakened, and the tactics of crowds in war are becoming more and more powerless, after all, people are afraid of death......
Not to mention the future generations, even if Lin Haoda is now in the world, when the weapons really reach the level of generation difference, it has become the norm of war for a few people to defeat the majority, just like the outcome of the war when the Han army attacked the Kingdom of Italy, which shocked the countries of Europe, and the Italian Kingdom, which was armed with hundreds of thousands of gun-carrying 'Italian soldiers', almost didn't even fight a decent battle, and it was considered a 'praise army' that collapsed at the touch of a button, and many Italian militias were armed, which really fulfilled what it means to 'flee from the wind' and ' Surrender without a fight'.
The Kingdom of Italy, which had no record of any previous people, quickly collapsed, and the Han army conquered the entire Italian peninsula at almost the speed of a normal march and armed procession, and incidentally also brought the Venice and Lombardy regions of the Kingdom of Italy under their control.
Although the Italians have never been known for their prowess on the European continent, at least it is a 'civilized country' with a fairly good industrial process, and the number of troops is quite large, so how can those European princes and prime ministers not be shocked by such a rapid collapse to the point that only a few islands remain?
Is it that the Italian army is too scumbag, or has the combat effectiveness of the Han army become stronger?
The collapse of the Kingdom of Italy dissipated even the previous clamorous rumors that the Germanic nation would be able to completely destroy the tyrant Lin Haoda when he attacked the German Empire.
Today's Imperial German Army has lost all its elites, and although the troops pulled up by the compulsory military service system relied on are in accordance with the standards of the regular army, the military uniforms they wear and the training they carry out are all in accordance with the standards of the regular army, but to say how much better the combat effectiveness will be than the regular Italian army, Chancellor Bismarck himself has no idea in his heart.
Think about it from another perspective, the Kingdom of Italy, with hundreds of thousands of troops, has not even made a decent resistance, and what extent will it go if the main force of the Han army attacks the nascent German Empire?
Even if the Germanic peoples had more fighting spirit and willpower than the Italian nations, prolonging the war from a month to half a year or even a year and then losing it would only be a prolongation of death for the German Empire......
Of course, after seeing the destruction of the Han army in the Italian Peninsula, the countries of the anti-Han alliance were more cautious to restrain their own armies from contacting and fighting with the Han army......
European countries generally believe that under the attack of Lin Haoda's fast-moving steel monster, there is almost no possibility of realizing the plan of training new soldiers through war to continuously beat the elite through war......
In the offensive and defensive battles on the Italian peninsula, Lin Haoda has already nakedly told the heads of state of the European continent how vulnerable the tall walls and deep trenches are in front of artillery and tanks!
