The great war between the Entente and the Central Powers soon exceeded people's imagination, and the British and French forces launched a large-scale offensive on the Western Front.

The problem with the Allies in launching an attack in the cold winter was that the Allies lacked strong artillery cover, and as a result, they were successfully stopped by Germany, for which the Allies suffered heavy losses.

In contrast, Germany transferred its forces to the Eastern Front, and on the Eastern Front, Hindenburg and Ludendorff joined forces to defeat the Tsarist Russian army, and in just a few months, the Tsarist Russia lost more than 800,000 troops, and the number continued to rise.

The artillery donated by the East China Autonomous Government axe to the German army on the Eastern Front was also sent to the front line, and this advanced mortar was only equipped by the German army on the Western Front, and at this time it was equipped on the Eastern Front, giving the German army strong fire support on the Eastern Front.

Under these circumstances, the Germans not only recovered East Prussia on the Eastern Front, but also invaded Poland, which at this time was under the rule of Tsarist Russia and had not yet gained readability.

In the Balkans, Bulgaria formally declared war on the Allies in 1915, and they joined forces with Austria-Hungary to destroy Serbia.

Serbia was the main country that provoked this war, because the Serbian mafia was the founder of the European mafia, and Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated by the mafia.

In this world war, Serbia was primarily responsible, and although Serbia agreed to all the conditions in the encyclical after the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this could not prevent the outbreak of war.

The assassinated Archduke Ferdinand was a very calm prince, he knew that the war would not bring any benefit to Austria-Hungary, so he had been trying to ease internal contradictions and external relations before he ascended the throne, but he was assassinated.

With Britain making no progress on the Western Front, Churchill decided to organize forces to attack the Black Sea exit in order to open up a second battlefield and open the Black Sea entrance and exit to Russia.

This was the Battle of Gallipoli organized by Churchill, which began on January 9, and Britain began to mobilize troops, ships, and supplies to land on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

This landing battle included not only British soldiers, but also French soldiers, Australian soldiers, Canadian soldiers, and South African soldiers. In terms of the total number of troops, Britain intended to send 500,000 troops to attack the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The war was fought recklessly, and it doomed the Anglo-French forces to hate Gallipoli.

At the end of the fourteenth century, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had ordered nearly 120 million pounds of arms from the East China Autonomous Government, apparently in order to show its skills in this world war in order to expand its territory.

These arms are not ordinary arms purchased from Russia, most of them are very advanced heavy equipment, and Turkey is currently fighting the Russian [***] team in the Caucasus.

In the battle of the Caucasus, the Turkish army used advanced equipment to deal a big blow to the Russian army, although it did not achieve a decisive victory, but it also caused the Russian army to lose nearly 160,000 soldiers, but Turkey also suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, and it is an indisputable fact that Turkey's military quality is not very high.

However, it was enough for Turkey to deal with the Anglo-French forces on the Gallipoli Peninsula, because the terrain of the peninsula was very favorable to them.

The Gallipoli Peninsula, the southwestern extension of European Turkey, is sixty miles long and four to thirteen miles wide. In 1915, there was only one dirt road running through the island in Gallipoli, an almost barren mountainous strip. The ridges and steep slopes overlooking the coast provide excellent defensive positions defending the European side of the Dardanelles, and a forty-mile waterway flows from the Sea of Marmara into the Aegean Sea, ranging in width from fourteen hundred yards to four miles. In ancient times, Dardanelle, known as Hellesponte, never froze; But its two-way currents, swift winds, and violent storms make sailing difficult.

Upon learning that the Anglo-French forces were going to invade Turkey from the Black Sea, the Turkish political axe soon increased its military orders to the autonomous political axe in East China.

The Ottoman Turks demanded the purchase of some weapons sufficient to defend themselves against the Anglo-French forces, and the East China Merchant House recommended them a mine-laying submarine.

The entrance to the Black Sea is small, and if mines are laid in these areas, it is very likely that British and French ships will be killed, although they can also clear mines, so minelaying submarines will be required to repeat the mines.

This mine-laying submarine can carry about 130 large torpedoes, and the mine-laying process is basically silent, and the mines also have a certain stealth function.

At the same time, the East China Merchant House also recommended sniper rifles, mortars and other weapons to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which are very useful in trenches, and trenches also need a large number of machine guns, as well as artillery fire support in the back, so rapid-fire guns are needed.

Among the three military factories of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, the Fujian Military Factory can already manufacture 75mm rapid-fire guns, and the quality is not bad.

Turkey will have a big war with the British, which is exactly what the East China Autonomous Axe wants to see, which can be milked from Turkey as well as from the British.

The battle that Britain intended to launch was the main British attack, of which 410,000 troops were to be sent by the British.

In order to cope with the two-front war, Turkey again ordered 80 million pounds of arms from the East China Autonomous Government, which was required to be delivered within three months.

That's no problem!

Three months is enough.

…… And in Africa, Britain is starting to get burned out at this time.

The German forces in East Africa, led by Forbeck, began to invade Zambia, a British protectorate that had not yet been completely reduced to a British colony.

Zimbabwe below Zambia had become a British colony, and Falbeck's offensive was fierce, and the new equipment they acquired was not very familiar with it, but it had already increased its combat effectiveness.

Britain had not yet reacted in Africa, and South Africa had already planned to annex German South-West Africa, but before it could be implemented, Falbeck had already passed through Zambia and entered the South African border from Zimbabwe.

Along the way, the British army did not know how to resist this group of formidable German troops, so Falbeck directly attacked South Africa, pulling out two important British strongholds on the South African border.

However, Forbeck was not really trying to invade South Africa, he knew that he did not have enough troops, and that he could not go too far from Tanzania because his supplies were still in Tanzania.

He's just dragging South Africa and giving South West Africa some time to prepare.

The South African army soon had a fierce battle with Falbeck, this fierce battle took place on the South African border, Falbeck ordered the army to retreat, and led the South African army into the range of firepower, which caused great casualties to the South African army, and the South African army of 50,000 was routed by the German army led by Falbeck that day, and allowed Falbeck to capture a large amount of arms and supplies.

British military operations in Africa were soon shattered by Falbeck, and reinforcements had to be sent to Africa to annihilate the German forces in East Africa led by Falbeck.

Falbeck's command was sophisticated and cunning, and the African soldiers treated him with the same respect and obedience, which led to the disaster of Britain in Africa.

The ammunition reinforcements to Falbeck from the East China Autonomous Government continued, and even transported many cars and three-wheeled motorcycles to East Africa to help the German army in East Africa form motorized troops.

While Forbeck was fighting in South Africa, the German army in Tanzania was forming a black army, and these German [***] officers, who had just been sent from Germany, took on these tasks.

South Africa was threatened, and Britain panicked, South Africa is an important British colony! Gold mining there generates huge profits for the UK every year.

In order to stabilize the situation in South Africa, Britain had to send 100,000 British troops to South Africa.

Britain did not want to send too many troops to South Africa, because the main battlefield of the Anglo-French alliance was still in Europe, and as long as the war in Europe became clear, then South Africa would inevitably not be able to climb the Five Finger Mountain.

It's just that South Africa had to be rescued again, so Britain adopted the tactic of adding oil, and it was this tactic of adding fuel that gave the German army in Africa a chance.

…… The Panama International Exposition, which is a large international fair held in San Francisco, involves various fields, mainly industrial products.

Xia Jun began preparing for the expo two months ago, and this expo is more important than previous expos held in other countries.

If nothing else, just because there is a war.

With a large number of blank markets and strong demand for arms from various countries, this expo is a good time to solicit orders, so Xia Jun attaches great importance to this expo.

The expo was held in March, and many enterprises from the seven provinces of East China Autonomous Province wanted to participate in the expo, so a huge exhibition group was formed.

After several months of organizing, the companies were ready to exhibit samples, and the mighty Chinese delegation set off, which will be led by Minister of Trade Chen Jiayi.

Before participating in the expo, the exhibition team did a detailed study, mainly on how to pull more orders, and formulated detailed steps.

The United States naturally welcomes this expo because it attaches so much importance to this expo, because after all, this is an expo held in the United States, which can boost the US economy.

The East China Army's weapons are 135mm howitzers, 60mm mortars, 120mm mortars, as well as Type 09 rifles, Type 14 submachine guns, ZB-26 light machine guns and MG08/15 light machine guns.

There are also flamethrowers, shotguns, and other weapons designed specifically for trenches.

The East China Air Force exhibited advanced strategic and tactical bombers such as the Kunpeng 1, Kunpeng 2, and Heavy Hammer 3, and it was the first time that the Eagle 3 was put on display.

The reason why it was decided to take these weapons to the exhibition is mainly to get orders, as for the issue of exposing secrets, these weapons are not classified as any secrets, with the war with the Yue army in Shandong, the main battle weapons among these weapons have long been known to all countries.

This expo is also a signal that East China's political axe has officially entered the international arms market, and China wants to sell its own weapons, not make other people's weapons.
