The Entente had two allies in the East, one was China and the other was Japan.

In fact, Japan declared war on the Second German Reich earlier than China, they officially declared war on August 23, 1914, and began to launch a campaign against Qingdao on October 31 of the same year, which lasted one month and seven days, and won the Battle of Qingdao on November 7.

The Germans felt that the Japanese army could fight, and the impression was made in the Battle of Qingdao, in which 270 Japanese soldiers were killed and 113 wounded; The protective cruiser Takachiho sank, the seaplane carrier Wakanomiya was severely damaged, and 160 British troops were killed and 23 wounded; 199 German-Austrian troops were killed, 504 wounded, 4,715 captured, and the cruiser Empress Elisabeth, a torpedo boat and four gunboats belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire sank.

Originally, the German army thought that only Japan could fight in the east, but after the Chinese Expeditionary Force joined the European theater, the German army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought on several fronts, and the tenacity shown by the Chinese Expeditionary Force surprised the German commanders.

"They need to trade their own blood for recognition from other powers, don't they?" Friedrich. Kress. Feng. As if there was something wrong with his vocal cords, Klesenstein sounded hoarse, and he said, "It was an unfortunate country, they had lost so much in the past, and now they were tempted to join our war." It is hard for me to imagine why they would join a war that is not their own, and their blood is destined to be in vain, because it is impossible for Britain to give up their interests in the Yangtze River in China, and it is impossible for Japan to give up the occupied Tsingtao. ”

Richie, who was making coffee, paused, and he saw that Friedrich. Kress. Feng. Klesenstein seems to know a lot about the Far East.

"In fact, we wanted to hand Qingdao over to China, but they refused." Hans. Von Seckert wiped the monocle in his hand and said, "We don't know if the blood of the Chinese will be shed in vain." What we do know is that 19 Chinese divisions are working. ”

"Yes, there is already a saying on the Western Front that the highest morale should be the Chinese army now." Friedrich. Kress. Feng. Colesenstein sighed slightly: "France took the lead and began to fulfill its previous promise to cancel its privileges in China, China's goal of sending troops is being achieved, and those Chinese soldiers think that their sacrifice is worthwhile, and they firmly believe this." You know, an army of faith is terrible. ”

"That's because France needs at least 20 divisions to be transported from the Suez Canal to the south of France to join the French line of defense in the south." Hans. Feng. Seckert finally looked at Li Qi strangely, as if surprised at how Li Qi was moving so slowly.

"With the same equipment, 1 Chinese division is equal to 2 American divisions and 3 French divisions, which is the private calculation method of the Entente countries." Friedrich. Kress. Feng. Colisenstein also looked at Rich.

Richie doesn't really know how to make coffee, after all, he rarely does such things. When he heard the two generals talk about China, he couldn't help but want to listen carefully, and the movements in his hands naturally slowed down.

The German army, the world's recognized first army, their generals are praising the Chinese army for being able to fight, how could Li Qi feel any feelings in his heart? It's just that his feeling will be a little strange, because it was the German army that was blocked by the Chinese army, which caused the established battle plan to be unable to achieve, and then he was about to lose this war, but he is now a member of the German army....... However, there was still more joy in his heart, a kind of heartfelt joy.

[China's army has become a 'hot commodity' for various powers, and everyone wants to command more Chinese troops. In this case, maybe China will really be able to abolish more unequal treaties because of this entry into the war? 】

A knock on the door interrupted Richie's thoughts, and the two generals who were looking at Richie finally moved their eyes to the door.

The people outside the door were saying, "General, the meeting is about to begin." ”

Friedrich. Kress. Feng. Colesenstein stood up and he spoke with Hans. Feng. Seckert shook hands and was the first to leave the room.

"You're distracted?" Hans. Feng. Seckert frowned and looked at Richie and asked, "Is it a problem with the Air Department?" ”

Li Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not the Air Ministry's problem. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you guess what this meeting is for, but ...... I'm afraid it won't have any effect, at most it will be another heavy casualty. ”

Hans. Feng. Seckert's face suddenly became very serious, he stared at Richie, and his tone was very serious: "No matter what you hear, or what judgment you have in your heart, wait a minute, you only have ears, you don't need a mouth!" ”

Strange to say, Litch is clearly a "Western Front". Feng. Seckert was born in the "Eastern Front". Hans. Feng. Seckert's familiarity with Crown Prince William, and his early admiring and support for Rich, led some Westerners to think that Hans. Feng. Setek is "his own man", but Hans. Feng. Seckert maintained personal relations with Hindenburg and other Eastern Front bosses. It seems, Hans. Feng. Secett wasn't as rigid as rumored to be, and Richie was also as rigid as Hans. Feng. Seckert's "ride on the wall" is taking advantage.

"Yes, General!" "We all know that the Entente side is constantly having new forces, but we are exhausted. But I'm not going to make any inappropriate remarks. ”

Hans. Feng. Seckert stared at Li Qi for a few seconds and nodded: "You are an excellent and young soldier, this is a special time, and you should know how to protect yourself." ”

Li Qicai will not make a big statement at the meeting of the General Staff Headquarters, the reason why he dares to make a big statement in Hans. Feng. Seckert said this in front of him because there had been such discussions before. In addition, he and the general are no longer simply subordinate or colleague relations, but the two have participated in the "Green Plan" together. And there is a "Green Plan", isn't it precisely because they are no longer optimistic that they can win the final victory in the war?

The two didn't have time to talk any longer, and they set off together towards the hall where the meeting began, but Richie was representing the Air Department. Hans. Feng. Although Seckert is the first director of the Air Department, this time he does not represent the Air Department.

When he came to the venue, Li Qi found that there were really a lot of big people present, not only the Kaiser himself, but also all the marshals of the Second German Reich, and there were more people with generals or generals on their shoulders, and the generals below were purely foils on this occasion.
