When the first morning sun of the new day was sprinkled on the beautiful Rong Mountain, Chen Tian and his party had already climbed halfway up the mountain, although they did not catch up to watch the sunrise at the top of the mountain because of the delay of last night's meeting, but Chen Tian was not disappointed, on the contrary, after an in-depth understanding of the front-line battle situation and made timely adjustments, he felt a great sense of relief at this time.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that you have a good habit of getting up early and exercising in the morning every day, but after a tiring journey and only resting for 5 hours, your physical strength is still so good!" Rundsteder, who was still wearing a standard army winter uniform, gasped for breath and admired, he was not too old at this time, 54 years old is a very ideal age for a cluster general, but this genius soldier who is known as a genius soldier who only pays attention to big problems regardless of all details and can grasp the main points of any problem in an instant seems to be a little lacking in training.

Chen Tian glanced back at Juliana and the others, who were still far behind, and motioned for the people around him to rest for a while, and then walked with Rundstead to a pine tree with a trunk as thick as a bowl.

"Have you ever heard such a sentence in general: The body is the capital of the revolution!"

"The body is the capital of the revolution?" Rundstead hurriedly shook his head, "No! What is the revolution that Your Majesty is referring to here? ”

"Uh......" Chen Tian gasped for breath, although he insisted on exercising every day, but after all, the highest part of Laoshan Mountain has an altitude of more than 1,100 meters, and the hiking trail is not as smooth as Mount Tai, and many sections can even be described as steep.

"Revolution is just a general term, which can be understood as a great cause or a lofty ideal, and the meaning of this whole sentence is that without a healthy body, you should not want to achieve any great cause!"

"Your Majesty has a point!" For such an obvious truth, Rundstead did not pretend to have a sudden realization expression, but pointed to the sea surface that had become clear to the east, "Your Majesty, according to the locals, this Laoshan Mountain is the best place to watch the sea view of Qingdao. Especially when the sun has just risen, the sea and the sky seem to merge, and the small island near the sea seems to float in the sea of clouds! ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the war, it would be a very pleasant resort!" Saying that, Chen Tian looked at himself, and then looked at the people around him, although everyone was very relaxed at the moment. But the uniforms and the weapons that the guards carry with them are a reminder that the smoke of war is not far away.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have always had a question in my heart......" Rundstead pinched the brim of his hat with his right hand and held up the general's hat slightly, so that the moisture accumulated in the hat dissipated, and the slightly red temples were also dripping with small beads of sweat at this time.

"Why are we going to war with the Japanese?" For this question, Chen Tian seems to have become commonplace, although the German ** people have always been known for ignoring political affairs, but this does not mean that they will not think about why they are involved in a fierce and cruel war. Frankly, the German team has the advantage so far, but look at the casualty figures of that group: Vladivostok. Z240 killed. 13,474 wounded, 780 captured; On the island of Couye, 14,327 people were killed. 48,924 injured; Hawaiian Islands, 2,374 killed and about 110,000 wounded; In Southeast Asia, 12,733 people were killed and more than 45,200 wounded, plus hundreds of officers and soldiers who had already died in the tsunami plan to land on the Korean Peninsula, Germany had lost more than 30,000 professional soldiers and nearly 40,000 more with permanent disabilities, which seemed like a tiny number for a vast empire with a population of nearly 100 million native and more than 800 million colonies.

But when you think about the value of each life, you realize how staggering these numbers are.

"No, Your Majesty! I want to say, why is it that China, with a population of more than 400 million, nearly six times that of Japan, has been beaten by the Japanese army, which is absolutely inferior in numbers, and has no power to change hands! ”

Rundstead looked at Chentian very sincerely, and before Chentian could answer, he seemed to be sure that he could get an answer from the other party.

For Chen Tian himself, this question is definitely not unfamiliar. But since the start of the war between Germany and Japan, few people have asked.

"The question is deep and profound! General, have you been in contact with the Italian army? ”

Rundstead put down his right hand, "It's only a few times, but there's a lot of hearsay!" ”

"How does it feel?" Chen Tian asked again.

"Well, in my opinion, that's a very special army! Due to political, economic and other reasons, their equipment level was relatively backward, and their performance in 1914 was also very disappointing! Rundstead replied without thinking.

"If in an open area, General, are you sure that you can defeat 6 Italian divisions with one standard German army division?"

At first, Rundstead thought that Chen Tian was joking, but when he saw the other party's very serious expression, he rethought it, and after a while, he cautiously replied:

"Your Majesty, I think this is very difficult, but it is not absolutely impossible, because the Italian soldiers lack the will and determination to fight, and the cooperation between them is like a plate of sand, as long as they can break through the ...... one by one."

"Do you know how many local forces there were in China in the early 20s?" Without waiting for Rundstead to complete his military analysis, Chen Tian asked coldly.

"Uh...... Your Majesty, I don't know the exact number, but it should be a lot! ”

"Different local forces are intriguing and fighting each other, and foreign forces are willing to profit from it, such a country can be described in one word, that is, there is no country defense!" Chen Tian took off his hat gloomily, "If France is also in such a state, I think we Germany will not hesitate to invade with troops, even if they have a population of 400 million!" ”

"But isn't China under the control of a central government?" Rundstead was still puzzled, "Why did they lose a piece of land the size of two Japan before we arrived?" As far as I know, at that time, the ratio of the total number of Chinese and Japanese troops available for combat was two to one, and the squadron could quickly transfer troops to the front line through the railway line, but the Japanese army needed to be assembled for long-distance transportation across the sea! ”

"General, there is a unique power trick in the East that you may not understand, just like today's situation, we came from afar to help them, but they are planning to make us and the Japanese lose both, it's really chilling to say, it's chilling!"

With that, Chen Tian walked towards the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, leaving Longdstead still thinking in place.

At noon on the same day, the news of the failure of the squadron's attack on all fronts came from the front, but Chen Tian and his senior generals understood that this "defeat" was not really because of the "stubborn resistance of the Kwantung Army". However, this did not affect the German officers and soldiers who landed on the Korean Peninsula to continue to fight bravely, and on the sixth day of the landing campaign, Daejeon, the headquarters of the Japanese forces stationed in Korea and the largest railway junction in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, finally failed to withstand the onslaught of the German iron cavalry and fell.
