France, Brest, with the fall of Paris, the Anglo-French headquarters was temporarily set up here, which was originally a small town, but with the arrival of the headquarters and a large number of troops, it also made this place lively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, this kind of excitement is not the kind of excitement that everyone wants to see.

Brest is close to the sea, only about 200 kilometers away from Plymouth in England, this is not only the headquarters of the British and French forces, but also the base of the last resistance of the British and French.

In this life, the strength of the Germans on land is much stronger than in history, but the naval strength has not increased in the slightest, but because of the dreadnought plan and is more behind Britain than in history, which is also the fundamental reason for the Anglo-French coalition to choose the forward position, as long as the British do not lose their maritime territory, the Anglo-French coalition is not so vulnerable, then they are basically invincible in this war.

However, the ambiguous attitude of the Chinese Empire was a headache for Britain and France, not only Britain and France, but even the Germans, but there was no way, even if such a strong country could not be co-opted as allies, at least it could not be allowed to run to the opposite side as enemies.

And once the Chinese Empire entered the war, although the British Navy could not be shaken on the sea, on land, the British and French forces could not resist it.

As for the basis for this speculation, it was obtained from the Russian battlefield. The French had attacked Russia, and they knew very well how difficult it was to defeat the Russians, not because of how strong the Russians were, but because the weather was their worst enemy, and the French were not able to resist, and France was in its heyday, and their front was closer to Russia.

The Chinese were so far from the Russian front, but they were able to defeat the Russians and eventually carved out a large part of the Russian territory, and the Chinese Empire at that time was not the most powerful Chinese Empire.

It took less than a week for the Chinese to basically eliminate the entire Japanese army in Taiwan, and although the Japanese troops of the three divisions were not many, they occupied most of Taiwan within a week with limited transportation capacity, and this result once again showed the strength of the Chinese Empire.

But Taiwan is definitely not the last, when the war in Taiwan is not over, the Chinese launched a campaign to land on the Japanese mainland, and won the victory in the early stage of the campaign, and lured a large number of Japanese troops to Kyushu Island, and then sent troops to land in Hokkaido, this tactic of attacking the east and the west has also opened the eyes of many people, although everyone will, understand this truth, but whether a tactic can be successfully implemented has little to do with whether you will or not, whether you understand it or not.

And even if the Chinese put 400,000 troops in Taiwan, it is likely that they will invest millions in Japan, but on their western front, that is, Tyumen and Kazakhstan, there are more than a million garrisons.

The Chinese are building a railway from Zhongjing to Xinjiang, and roads are also being built at the border between Kazakhstan and Xinjiang, although the specifications are not as good as those in China, but there is no problem with marching.

According to the speculation of British and French think tanks, based on China's total population of 400 million, if they mobilize, then China can arm at least an army of no less than 30 million.

However, considering that the quality of the soldiers mobilized by the whole people cannot be guaranteed, and the Chinese Empire has always acted in a way that makes it possible, the final number of mobilized soldiers may be around 1,000 to 15 million.

Although the number of troops is less than half, the strength of more than 10 million troops is all elite soldiers, all of whom are young men in their twenties, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Even if Britain and France joined forces, how many troops would they be able to mobilize? Ten million? This is already considered to be the top of the sky, if you add Germany mobilizing five or six million troops, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey are mobilizing five million troops.

The Allies would have a total strength of at least 25 million, so even with the United States, the Entente would only have about 20 million troops at most, with a disadvantage in numbers and no advantage in equipment, and land warfare was the strength of Germany and the Chinese.

As for France, the number one land power, this myth was already destroyed during the Franco-Prussian War a few decades ago, and then this time, the French Army has lost almost all its fig leaf.

It is precisely for this reason that even if Britain, France, the United States and other countries know that the Chinese are relatively close to the Germans and the relationship is relatively ambiguous, they do not dare to have any sanctions, but in order not to offend the Chinese and avoid the Chinese from moving closer to the Germans in an all-round way, Britain and France even rejected Japan's application to join the Entente, and in other aspects, the Chinese were also treated as guests in Britain and France.

The commander-in-chief of the French army, Marshal Joseph Xia Fei, is staying here at the moment, and many people are not optimistic about Xia Fei, because of his steady personality, he is silent, slightly dull, but extremely tenacious, and is known as 'General Retardation'.

Xia Fei's character is destined to be more suitable for defensive operations, but when the war really breaks out, let him be the commander-in-chief, it will be a little insufficient, maybe under the leadership of Xia Fei, the French army can continue to engage in a tug-of-war with the German army, but it is difficult to launch an offensive, because Xia Fei does not have this ability.

Therefore, the French side has recently intended to change the commander-in-chief, they plan to appoint Ferdinand Foxi as commander-in-chief, and because of Foxi's heroic performance in the war, the British are also more optimistic about him, so they also agreed to the personnel transfer order of the French, and at the same time, in order to better command and coordinate the operation, the British also accepted the proposal of the French and will jointly appoint Foxi as the commander-in-chief of the Entente.

Fu Xi had just returned to Brest from the front, and he was not very clear about many things, although the appointment had not yet been handed down, but he had to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible before the appointment was officially issued. Xia Fei stayed to make some handovers with him, and as long as the handover is completed, Xia Fei will officially retire and go to the United States to spend the rest of his life.

Unlike others, Fu Xi was a very intelligent man, as early as a few years ago, he paid more attention to the rise of the Chinese, and several times suggested that he should establish good relations with the Chinese, and suggested that he should give up the Gengzi indemnity, and if necessary, even the Vietnamese colony.

But the French at that time felt that Fuxi's idea was too weak, and at the same time it meant to belittle France, so this wave was quickly suppressed, and even Fuxi himself was suppressed, until after the outbreak of the war, Fuxi flashed on the battlefield one after another, so far, no one can suppress the light on Fuxi's body.

Listening to the intelligence officer's report, Fu Xi frowned deeply.

As in history, Germans like to do everything to the end, and in military terms, Germany has achieved the strongest through this way of thinking, but in other aspects it is very tragic, such as intelligence.

The intelligence work of the Germans was as poor as ever, and although there were many German spies in Britain and France, there were even more spies in England and France, and many of them were given important positions.

For example, yesterday morning, German Prime Minister Holwig had just invited Chinese Ambassador to Germany Gu Weijun to visit the Berlin Museum, but now, just over a day later, the content of the conversation between Holwig and Gu Weijun had been sent to Fuxi.

Although the efficiency is not fast, it is not slow, if there is no radio station, it will take half a month at the fastest for this information to be transmitted, and it will also have to pass through several enemy blockade lines and bypass several battlefields.

The Allied Command was mainly based on Britain and France, because the battlefield was in France, so Fuxi served as the commander-in-chief, and the Englishman Douglas Hague served as the deputy commander-in-chief, and was responsible for controlling the British army and cooperating with Fuxi's movements. Except for Britain and France, other countries are basically supporting roles, of course, the definition of supporting roles is only judged according to the strength of the troops sent by each country.

In fact, the Germans were more ruthless than the French, because at this time Belgium had fallen in its entirety, and the Belgians only had a force of more than 100,000 people here, and the number was too small.

In addition to these military generals, there are also officials sent by various countries in the headquarters, and these are mainly from a political point of view to judge a battle. Wars are not just fought militarily, because wars are for politics.

"Are the Chinese going to stand with the Germans?" General Haig said with a little anger.

At this time, Haig was not promoted to marshal, and the rise of Haig had nothing to do with the Chinese, so subject to the domestic atmosphere in Britain, Haig's impression of the Chinese was still very good, but now, he can only hehe.

"Not necessarily, what the Chinese want, the Germans may not be able to give them, just relying on those looted cultural relics from China to pull an ally, the lives of the Chinese are not so cheap." Fu Xi shook his head, Fu Xi was different from others, when his contemporaries were keen to seek promotion by opening up the colony, Fu Xi plunged headlong into the Higher Military Academy, studying the duties and elements of commanders, and training to solve various problems.

It was indeed a boring time, but Fuxi found it very interesting, and it also brought him a different perspective, although he was also shocked at first, but at this moment he firmly believed that the Chinese would never agree to the Germans so easily.
