β€œβ€¦β€¦ The steel output is 4 million tons, and the three major synthetic industries of fiber, plastic and rubber are the first in the world, and the acres that can be used for cultivation are more than 5.3 billion mu...... "Li Qi's voice is not loud or even mentally fluctuating, and the expression on his face is also expressionless.

This is the southern suburb of Paris, and whatever it used to be is now a barracks.

Richie looked at Crown Prince William calmly and continued: "In 1913, Ford established an assembly line to assemble cars, and there is no clear data on the total production of automobiles in the United States, but their car sales have exceeded one million units so far this year. Last year, 25,000 tractors were sold in the United States, and the tanks that had appeared in the Entente countries were modified from tractors. ”

Crown Prince William and others frowned deeply when they heard this, especially when they heard that the annual sales of cars in the United States exceeded one million, and everyone, including Crown Prince William, was inevitably stunned.

The war has been going on until now, and the car ...... At least trucks have proven their usefulness.

During the Battle of Verdun, the French army organized 3,900 trucks within a week, transporting 190,000 personnel and 25,000 tons of supplies, saving the Allies from an unfavorable situation in the early stage.

The U.S. sells more than 1 million cars a year, so what is the production capacity? That's just a non-wartime economy, what if it is converted to a wartime economy!

Tractor? It is true that the tanks of the Entente were converted from tractors, and the tanks had already proven their usefulness on the battlefield, at least against barbed wire and trenches. 25,000 tractors sold annually in the United States?

"We only produce 20,000 cars a year...... "Erich Brown." Feng. Falkingham took a breath of cold air, and finally said with a wry smile: "Our annual production of cars is the second in the world, but the number is estimated to be not even a fraction of that of the United States." ”

Richie listened to Erich. Feng. Fakingham's flower only had a wry smile in his heart. He knows that the annual production of automobiles in the United States is not exaggerated to one million, but the country known as "on the wheels of automobiles", even if it is not as many as a million, it is estimated that there are not many less.

Paul. Feng. Hindenburg, Erich. Feng. Ludendorff, Herman. Cal. Bruno. Feng. FranΓ§ois, August. Feng. Mackenson, and other marshals and generals, they all looked at Richie who spoke without saying a word.

Originally, some people had very big opinions about Li Qi, and they could even say that they hated it extremely much, thinking that under the good situation, a little major staff officer shouted something. If it weren't for the fact that they still have the reserve of being in a high position, Li Qi wanted to denounce it when he came.

Li Qi didn't say anything alarmist, he just made some simple comparisons and directly lined up the data. Such an act is more effective than a series of false, big, and empty inferences, and it is shocking enough.

"You mean, we can't win the war?" Paul. Feng. Hindenburg's beard trembled, and his eyes were extremely sharp: "Do you know who you are facing and what you are saying?" ”

"Your Excellency, Honorable Admiral." Li Qi was not frightened, he said very calmly: "I did not make any predictions, and I cannot determine the victory or defeat of the war. What I can do, and pray for, is to recognize what enemy we are facing and how strong the enemy is. ”

"I've seen a lot of guys like you who talk in generalities." Paul. Feng. Hindenburg smiled suddenly, but his stiff face did not smile kindly. He said: "You have done not many things, and you have shown the qualities of a good officer in the Battle of the Somme. No, you did a great job, otherwise you wouldn't be here today, and you should be relieved of your duties and thrown to jail. ”

Erich. Feng. Falkingham frowned and said, "Admiral, the man standing in front of us, it was he who made a plan and succeeded in the operation, thus turning the tide of the war on the Western Front. His actions caused the Allied forces on the Somme front to start the war ahead of schedule without being ready, and finally tasted the bitter fruits of defeat. He captured more than a dozen generals for us, ......", and with this, he looked at some other marshals or generals, and said in a low voice: "Such a person, even if he is young, should be respected!" Respecting such people is tantamount to respecting our cause! ”

Crown Prince Wilhelm and the Bavarian Crown Prince ~ Prince glanced at each other, and both of them smiled knowingly.

Erich. Feng. Falkingham launched the Battle of Verdun, a battle that was supposed to drain the forces of the Entente, whether it had the desired effect or not, he would definitely be dismissed from his post and be able to remain in the army, or because everyone knew that it was a helpless thing, but the government and the public needed a scapegoat.

But...... Because of the appearance of Rich, Erich. Feng. Falkingham was a great success, and the battle at Verdun was no longer just a battle to drain the Allies, but a victory, opening the way to Paris and allowing the Germans to trample the streets of Paris again after 45 years.

Erich. Feng. Instead of being dismissed, Falkingham became a hero of Germany, a hero in the truest sense of the word, and then a glorious field marshal. He also became a famous general, a famous general who paid more than one million casualties on both sides, and won a great victory!

It can be said that who among the top echelons of the German army is most grateful to Rich? That is Erich. Feng. Fakingham is none other than that. He finally didn't have to face a possible exit after the Battle of Verdun, not only continued to be the chief of the general staff of the Second German Reich, but also promoted to the rank of marshal, can he not be grateful to Leach?

Erich. Feng. Ludendorff, the 'iron wall' of Hindenburg, saw his old buddy's face pulled down and seemed to be relieved, but in fact, he was making it difficult, and asked: "Then we should respect the young man, what do you think about the future war?" ”

"I don't know much." Li Qi smiled wryly and said, "Just say what I know." ”

"Tell me, it's okay, you can just talk about it." Erich. Feng. Ludendorff seems to be kind, but in fact he is extremely sinister! He added with a smile: "As you said, you know very little, and there is nothing wrong with it." Isn't it? ”

Richie won't jump into Erich. Feng. Ludendorff dug the pit and he looked at Erich. Feng. Falkingham, and then looked at Crown Prince Wilhelm and the Bavarian Crown Prince ~ Prince, with a look of embarrassment.

"What happened here today was just a tea party." Crown Prince William finally spoke, and with a smile on his face, he stood up: "Maybe we should talk about something lighter?" ”

Erich. Feng. Falkingham was just about to speak, Erich. Feng. Ludendorff apparently didn't do it......
