453: Misfortune leads to the east

Just when European countries began to prepare closely for war, among the people of European countries, public opinion on the **** theory instantly guided the public opinion of the whole Europe, and the media of various countries vigorously reported on the rise of the Chinese, and the data listed were also clear-eyed, making people not notice any problems at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first to report on this matter was a small media outlet based in France, which cited the Chinese Empire's Second Northeast War between China and Japan, the Third Korean War between China and Japan, and the Sino-Russian War as examples, and made a detailed comparison through the data of the three wars.

Among them, the main examples cited in the Second Sino-Japanese Northeast War are about the military system of the Imperial Chinese Army and the war quality of the army, and at that time, their equipment was only a little more advanced than the Japanese, except for having more machine guns than the Japanese, other places did not seem to have an advantage, if you have to find another advantage, it is a geographical advantage, after all, they are fighting at home.

In this battle, the Japanese lost nearly one division of troops, two and a half Japanese divisions, and a Korean division were instantly defeated in the northeast region, with one dead and wounded, and the losses of the Chinese were actually not small, but if you compare the casualty data of the two countries, you will find that in fact, their casualties are somewhat insignificant compared to Japan.

Then came the Third Sino-Japanese Korean War, in which the Chinese's military equipment was not innovated much, but only increased the firepower of some troops, but in this war, the Chinese achieved better results than in the previous war.

If the last time the Japanese could escape back to Korea desperately, then this time, they had no way to escape, and if it were not for the navy to help them stabilize their positions, I am afraid that the Japanese would be directly driven into the sea by the Chinese.

There is not much difference in the equipment of the two wars, so the French media did not focus on the first two wars, but focused on the current Sino-Russian war.

The Sino-Russian War was about three and a half years later than the Korean War, which also left more time for the Chinese to prepare, and this time, the Chinese really did not disappoint them, not only greatly innovated the infantry equipment, but even formed a new armored unit, and under the blow of this new military system, 300,000 Russian troops were destroyed in an instant, although it took almost two months before and after, but in such a short period of time, it is not an exaggeration to describe 300,000 Russian troops as an instant annihilation.

At the bottom of the report, there is a data comparison table, mainly divided into three squares, the first lists the equipment of the Chinese during the Second Sino-Japanese Northeast War, and the second is the equipment comparison of the Third Sino-Japanese Korean War, at this time the equipment has not changed much, so behind the items on machine guns in the table, the words at least double the number are specially marked.

And the third is the equipment situation of the Sino-Russian war, and the intelligence channels of this French media seem to be very strong, and they can get almost all the specific data on the equipment list of the Chinese Royal Army, and even some of the equipment.

And the third table is obviously much more complicated, and the names of the equipment are also varied, but when you understand it, you will definitely sigh for this, such armaments, even in Europe, no country can resist them.

During this period, the equipment of the infantry was mainly from the Japanese three-zero rifle to the improved version of the Mauser rifle, which the French media called the Mauser 1898A rifle, individual grenade, bayonet, which is the standard equipment of ordinary soldiers, and the 03 automatic rifle in the back, which is specially equipped with a weapon for the squad leader, thirty rounds of magazines, which can be used up in five seconds, and the French media also made a joke, saying that if it is equipped with a chain of 300 rounds, then it will be a terrifying machine gun.

Then there are Mauser pistols, mortars, Makqin heavy machine guns, etc., and finally the Boar tank, weighing eleven tons, has an extremely fast moving speed, artillery below 75 mm caliber and any infantry equipment, can not pose any threat to it, the Russians lost so quickly, it is because the Chinese invested nearly a thousand tanks on the battlefield, they have no scruples, regardless of the rain of bullets, again and again crazy broke through the Russian defense line, the Russian army even felt desperate for this, often after the defeat of the front, Before the next line of defense was ready, their tanks appeared again in front of the Russians' positions.

The media was very detailed, and although it was only a small media and had a small readership, it quickly caught the attention of the mainstream European media, and the report was reprinted on the front page of the next day.

As a result, the whole of Europe suddenly became a sensation, and no one thought that the Chinese, who were still at will by them a few years ago, could suddenly rise in such a short period of time? At this time, some media began to add the color of **** theory, and even mentioned Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry, which can be regarded as a fried pan in the whole of Europe.

The French, who had no intention of stopping them, got their wish and almost quickly passed the proposal for war support for Russia, which included 300,000 rifles, 5,000 artillery pieces, and countless supplies and ammunition for Russia.

Although the British did not intend to directly participate in it, and the influence of the Boer War had not been completely eliminated, and the anti-war voices at home were still very loud, the British top brass had made all preparations, and even did not hesitate to send the Far East naval fleet in the Far East to cooperate with Russia to exert pressure on the Chinese side.

At this time, the Americans basically had no choice, and the meeting of the Big Three had basically determined their respective responsibilities and obligations, so the Great White Fleet, which had arrived in India and was intending to deter Japan, also received a temporary order to visit the three cities of Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin in China before visiting Japan.

However, when the official letter of the visit was sent to China, Wang Sirui directly rejected the visit request, and only allowed the Americans to visit Shanghai, the purpose of the Great White Fleet is self-evident, Wang Sirui is very clear in his heart, but it is not easy to refuse the request of the United States, so he can only control the impact as much as possible.

Needless to say, the situation in Guangzhou was also under control, but compared to the northern region, the Chinese Empire was still too short to cause panic. Tianjin has no reason for them to visit, in case they happen to find out the secret in Sheepshead Bay, who should they talk to? Although the impact of the visit to Shanghai is not small, at least it is not as great as the impact of the other two places, and when the time comes, it will be enough to let the Second Fleet accompany it, and although the overall strength of the Second Fleet is not as good as that of the Great White Fleet, it can at least express an attitude to the people.

After the success of the strategy to lead the way to the east, Wilhelm II began a frantic expansion of the armament war, first ordered the German Army to secretly expand to 1 million, and at the same time formed five armored divisions, these five armored divisions should be trained in advance to ensure that after the tanks arrived in the troops, they could form combat effectiveness within half a year. Later, the German Navy was ordered to increase the construction of dreadnoughts, and the other was to secretly buy more oil from Austria-Hungary.

That's right, all this public opinion is behind the Germans, their purpose is to make the world pay attention to the Far East, so that Britain, France, the United States and other countries are forced to support Russia, consume their war potential as much as possible, and let them fight to the death with the Chinese on the territory of Russia.

Then, while the attention of various countries was diverted, Germany began to step up its secret preparations for war and expand its army, striving to complete the rearmament before the end of the Sino-Russian war.

And at that time, even if Britain and France react, I am afraid that it will be too late, and it will be too late to catch up with Germany's footsteps.

The Germans made a good calculation, and they were surprisingly successful, and for a time, in international public opinion, the Chinese took on huge pressure, even the pressure that should have belonged to the Germans.

Britain, France, the United States and other countries are secretly preparing to support Russia, while coordinating the truce, but this is a bit of their own slap in the face, it was Britain and France and other countries that proposed to let the Chinese go north to start a war, and now that the war has been fought for half a year, they want the war to stop.

On the other hand, in this international confrontation, the most proud is the Japanese, the British agreed to help Japan build two improved dreadnoughts to counter the threat of the Chinese navy, and the price is also lower than expected, and it is also a loan, the Japanese can get these two dreadnoughts without paying a penny at all.

The saved funds were all spent on their own naval industry, and they also planned to build three dreadnoughts themselves at the same time, and they wanted to completely crush the Chinese in terms of navy.

Even, the top brass of the Japanese Navy has begun to secretly plan the next war between China and Japan, and they want the Chinese Navy to repeat the mistakes of the past and embark on the same path as the Beiyang Navy, and in terms of the current international situation, this possibility is still very great, China is blocked, Japan is supported, and one is the other, it is very simple.

Imperial Premier Wang Shizhen has to go into the palace several times a day to discuss with Wang Sirui about the countermeasures to the international crisis, but this kind of thing, in fact, they themselves have no good countermeasures, after all, they lack strong allies in the world, and their own strength has not had time to show in the world, just the performance on the Russian battlefield is far from enough.
