Chapter 1479: Consuming Britain

Historically, it ended with the defeat of Germany, but the end of World War I, not because of the appearance of tanks, the first generation of tanks that Britain and France came up with in order to crack the trench warfare, in the sudden use, let Germany suffer a big loss, and did not completely collapse Germany, Germany in a little preparation, or blocked in the back, did not break through the German defense line, and even in the entire World War, the Allies did not invade the territory of Germany, the use of tanks, only caused huge casualties to Germany, In a sense, it can only be regarded as a straw that has broken the camel's back, and it is not the last one.

In the history of World War I that Yang Yuanzhao knew, what really made Germany withdraw from the war was the Spanish flu, and then the rising internal resistance, the combination of the two was the fundamental reason for the final end of World War I, and the unfavorable war situation can only be called an inducement at most.

At that time, Germany was in internal and external difficulties, unable to open the situation on the battlefield, and there was a shortage of labor at home, with a population of only 60 million, not enough overseas labor and overseas colonies, and the blockade of Germany could not get foreign support, and could only communicate with the allies themselves, Germany could not balance the relationship between industrial and agricultural production, industrial agriculture continued to decline, industry was the source of arms, and there were not enough weapons and equipment for the army, so that Germany's combat effectiveness in the late stage of World War I continued to decline, which was one of the reasons for the disadvantage of the battlefield. But what is even more terrible is agriculture, under the premise of the blockade, Germany's agricultural gap has always been very large, from before the start of the war, Germany has not guaranteed agriculture, has been relying on imports to ensure the food rations of the German people, to the blockade intensified, there is no way to obtain foreign imports, the country's agricultural output has been declining again and again, the people take food as the sky, and even can not ensure the basic livelihood of the people, in this case, the powerful Germany collapsed at the end of the war.

The Spanish flu has not yet appeared, and the war has now reached its fourth year, because the war has been advanced by a year, and the flu has not yet appeared, and it will not appear until 1917, and the appearance of Yang Yuanzhao, like a butterfly, has changed the course of history, and I dare not guarantee whether this will definitely break out, but even if it does, the danger of the Spanish flu is far less terrible.

The emergence of China, in the army first strengthened the military doctors, war is always the catalyst for the revolution in military technology, Germany in the premise of military technology changes, popularized a large number of firepower, these because of the relationship of logistics support, there is no way to popularize into the Allied armies, but the military doctors have little to do with logistics, between the Entente and the Allies, a lot of spies have infiltrated each other, after the war to the present, many combat methods, unless they are absolutely secret, such as anti-aircraft machine gun units, special forces, There are also relatively independent units such as airship troops, which have not been detected, and other conventional tactics have been learned.

At first, the Entente did not notice this, but along with the role played by military doctors and nurses in the war, it was almost guaranteed that the recovery of lightly wounded soldiers was almost 100 percent, and the recovery rate of seriously wounded soldiers was more than 40 percent, which was quite critical to the continuous operation of the troops, the combat effectiveness of the veteran will also be stronger.

The system of the Entente is stronger than that of Germany, and the absolute number of doctors is also more than that of Germany, after learning from Germany, the proportion of military doctors in various countries has reached a considerable number, and it is unlikely that there will be a World War I in history, the dirty and messy battlefield has become the best carrier for the spread of the virus, even if there is infection, it can also be effectively dealt with, and it will not be like in history, after the flu has spread throughout the entire army, it will be reacted, but unfortunately when the source of infection reaches a certain level, Spread all over the world, reducing infections is a joke.

Even various antibiotics, sulfonamides and penicillin, have a broad spectrum of antibacterial ability for various viruses, even if they may not be symptomatic, but they are also slowed down, at least the harm of the virus will not be so great, coupled with traditional Chinese medicine, in a certain sense, the virus may affect the course of the First World War, but it will not let Germany withdraw from the war.

The Spanish flu, which probably had little impact on Germany, reduced the likelihood that Germany would withdraw from the war in 17 years, and another important factor was not present. Because of the continuous victories in Germany and the support of China, the output value of industry and agriculture has not weakened to a great extent, especially agriculture, after occupying hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land acquired from Russia, handed over cities and factories to the Chinese, and farmland to the Chinese.

The outstanding performance of the Chinese in industry and agriculture has used the fastest speed to rectify these lands and grow enough grain, and the difference between Europe and China in all aspects is not small, but after simple adjustments, winter wheat is still planted in places with similar climatic conditions.

This adventure has borne fruit, the first wave of winter wheat is growing well, the first wave of winter wheat will be harvested in June, may be in the unit yield, it is impossible to be as amazing as China, but it is also above the average level in Europe, with this wave of increased grain, Germany's self-sufficiency rate finally broke through 100% for the first time, reaching 122% to the extent of 122%, to meet its own needs, and can also export and store a small amount, in this sense, Germany in at least two or three years, There will be no shortage of food, and it can be sustained in the war, and the current situation is far better than in history.

Yang Yuanzhao took out the things, can not make Shi Lei relieved, although Yang Yuanzhao is so calm, Shi Lei is also a little worried, he is only the Minister of Intelligence, but over the years, contact with various fields of science and technology in the northwest, through Yang Yuanzhao explained, he knows very well that Britain is ready to be armored, how strong the armored force is, in the army, a lot of drills have been done, in the absence of special weapons, armored forces are the best weapons for breaking barbed wire and trench warfare when large-scale armored forces, when attacking the trench with fixed handles, there is no other way to the trench except to dig a tank trench as a counterpart, the number of tanks is enough, and a close attack, coupled with the help of infantry, how well defended the position, can be breached.

Although the bazooka is a weapon specifically aimed at tanks, it has never been used in the army, and it is really impossible to say how powerful it is.

Shi Lei clearly conveyed his opinion to Yang Yuanzhao but smiled, and said, "Don't you have confidence in our bazooka?" Give weapons to the British, it can be regarded as making a sum of money, and the German side still has to support it, you go through the channel, pass this drawing to Germany, and I will give it to Germany, now you should rest assured. ”

Yang Yuanzhao casually drew the drawings, but not the drawings of China's mature tanks, yes Yang Yuanzhao according to the meeting to draw a more elementary drawings, this drawing is estimated to be very different from the British one, almost out of the category of primary tanks, very inspiring, with the current industrial level of Germany, as long as in-depth research, spend a little energy, can still be manufactured, against tanks, I am afraid the best weapon, or tanks, there is a saying in later generations, the enemy of tanks is still tanks, Not to mention that Yang Yuanzhao also took out the anti-tank rockets.

The more he controls this country, the more Yang Yuanzhao feels that many things don't have to be understood too much, especially it seems that individual weapons, even if they are no matter how much cash, they can not change much, China's army, the world's first, whether it is quantity, training, or other aspects, these are not simple things that can be changed, in this case, why bother to put things in your hands, support Germany, and let the European war continue, which is in China's interests, and can make the Entente and the Allies continue to bleed, Although China surpasses the European countries, but the whole Caucasian world is combined, it will also make China quite troublesome, and the European war continues, continue to support Germany, so that the two sides are in a relatively balanced state, so that they can slowly consume each other.

3,000 sets of engines for Britain, the price is 12 times the original, the engine in the truck, only occupies about one-tenth, but in the real armor, occupy not much, with others, the price of an armored car is at least more than 10,000 US dollars, the total investment is more than 30 million US dollars, plus personnel and equipment, the investment of manpower and material resources is amazing.

Yang Yuanzhao is very clear, the war is to put it bluntly, or to fight the economy, the tank was developed in the First World War, this is determined by history, but also the result of China's analysis from a lot of intelligence, since it has become a fact, China refuses to export to the UK, Britain can also find other alternatives, historically, during the First World War, Britain took out the tank, and it is not a model, the speed is very slow, but there is already a prototype of the tank, and it can also be dealt with in the war, so for the war, Not much has changed yet.

But to give the British these things, 3000 sets down, Britain in order to support these, also need to come up with enough things, these things add to all the circumstances, is a lot of money, the emergence of bazookas, enough to solve these, this is tantamount to a waste of huge money, if at this level, Germany still has no way to win, then there is no way, Germany just can't support the wall, failure is inevitable, when the time comes, China itself, with a strong national strength and army, Even against the entire Caucasian world, China will not necessarily lose, but the price will be greater.
