Nanjing, Nanjing!

What was the saddest thing in the world at the end of 1937, then there is no doubt that it was Nanjing!

Reborn I, Ernst naturally did not allow this kind of thing to happen, even if his current interest group was the Eastern European Alliance and not that ancient country, but it was impossible for Ernst to forget that country, war could not be avoided, but now this kind of thing ......

Nanjing fell, but immediately afterward, the diplomats of the Eastern European Alliance warned that if Japan did anything that violated common sense and massacred civilians, the Eastern European Alliance would be desperate to start a war with Japan, and the outcome of Nanjing today would be the result that Japan would face in the future.

No one is not afraid of the behemoth of the Eastern European Union, it is nothing more than to suppress the animalistic nature in their hearts, and there are intellectuals in Japan who oppose this kind of thing, and under their strong resistance, not only Nanjing, but also the entire North China and coastal areas, Japan's attitude is relatively friendly.

As the saying goes, you get melons when you plant melons, and you get beans when you plant beans, and the result of such a thing is unthinkable, that is, the Nobel Prize was awarded to him, the world's largest warmonger, because of Ernst's humanitarian preparation, and the Nobel Peace Prize is a great irony in the eyes of many people.

Japanese militarism was also suppressing itself at this time, and Ernst's rash intervention made them very dissatisfied, but it was not yet the time, otherwise Japan would dare to risk a war with the Eastern European Alliance. To be honest, everything in Japan today is their gamble, otherwise how could they get today's international status with a small country?

Of course, World War II was also Japan's last chance. Once defeated, it will be difficult for them to rise again with the potential of Japan's territory. It's a pity. Japan did not seize the last opportunity and was directly reduced to a defeated country and became an absolute subordinate of the United States.

The train is roaring, the benefit of the industrial revolution is that human beings can connect the world, but the side effect of connecting the world is that the scope of war has begun to increase, and more and more powerful weapons have appeared in the world, and they are like machines that are rapidly consuming the human population.

By December 1937, the population of the Eastern European Union had exceeded 230 million, and its GDP had reached 100 billion euros ($230 billion). It surpassed the United States to rank first in the world.

Not to mention the military aspect, if you don't count the navy, then both the army and the air force in the Eastern European Union are well-deserved to be the first in the world, and even the world's first is far more stable than the economy, and the war potential of 1.6 million conventional armies, 5 million armies and 10 million armies at any time makes all countries tremble.

In recent years, the Eastern European Alliance's support for the new revolutionary army is really not small, from a few years ago to the present, Ernst has almost supported more than 3 million euros of arms, basically a simple army division needs 500,000 euros, it can be said that this is the equipment of 6 army divisions.

Dongfang still seems to like to play some crowd tactics, if it is changed to Ernst, then the 3 million euros he used to purchase must be heavy weapons and not all of them are rifles, machine guns and other light weapons. However, considering the current situation in East Asia. People naturally have their own reasons for choosing this way.

War was coming, and Ernst was nervous about military deployment. Generally speaking, the Eastern European theater of operations of the Eastern European Alliance is stronger than that of the Far Eastern theater, and the number of armaments is not on the same level.

Speaking of the Air Force alone, the number of bombers in the Eastern European theater is about 3,000, while the Far East is only more than 1,000, a difference of three times, but this also has a considerable relationship with the funding, even if the main manufacturing military industry of bombers is in Siberia.

The cost of a bomber is about 2,000 euros, and the bomber in the Eastern European theater alone is worth 60 million euros. The taxes they handed over to Ernst determined the amount of military appropriations for the Far Eastern Military District, which of course also had to do with the environment.

If the Far East were faced with an enemy like Germany, Britain and France, Ernst would not hesitate to allocate funds, but you are only facing Japan, and you need so much armament?

The status of the Air Force and the Army was slightly lower, but the Far East was not without heavyweight projects, and the establishment of the Far East Fleet cost Ernst considerable military spending, and the Far East Fleet was also the first real naval project of the Eastern European Alliance.

Compared with the Air Force and the Army, the cost of the Navy is undoubtedly much more expensive, a bomber is only a few thousand euros, but these warships are hundreds of thousands, millions of euros, even a rich man like Ernst is a little distressed when he mentions the fleet.

Far Eastern Fleet: one 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, three 5,000-ton light cruisers, 20 2,000-ton destroyers, and a number of gunboats, submarines, and landing craft.

Leaving aside the rest, let's just talk about the price of this aircraft carrier, cruiser and destroyer, the first directly costs Ernst about 2.5 million euros, the other light cruisers are between 350,000 euros and 400,000 euros, the destroyer is cheaper but there are more than 200,000 euros, these alone are already 8 million euros, and this is only the cost of naval training and equipment and maintenance.

The Far East Fleet is about half completed at this time, and if nothing else, it is expected that it will be completed in 1941, and once it is completed, then it is believed that it will be a war against the Japanese Navy, after all, the two countries are not far away, and the air force strength of the Eastern European Alliance is even higher than that of the army.

The direct bombing of Japan by more than 400 planes is a simple matter, and the Japanese air force alone cannot withstand these ferocious fighters, and this is the reason why Japan does not dare to act rashly.

"We need more warships, we need more fleets, we don't just want to be the hegemon of land and sky, we also want the sea!"

At an enlarged military meeting, Ernst said this very categorically, and the admirals were very excited and excited, after all, they had been suppressed for too long, and they had been waiting for the great naval plan since the Kingdom of Lithuania, but Ernst had only mentioned it all the time, and had never made it so clear that he wanted to.

A heavyweight admiral of the Navy expressed his desire to have the Eastern European Alliance's own Baltic fleet, to which Ernst directly refused, not completely, but only said that it was not time yet.

It is indeed not time, the outlet to the sea is still in the hands of Denmark, compared with the relationship with the Eastern European Alliance, people are still closer to Britain, France and the United States, the use of the Baltic fleet is not very large, it is better to change the embarrassing situation of the Eastern European Alliance through World War II and then prepare.

Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which are relatively low-key countries in Northern Europe, are not without clear political leanings, but perhaps because of their relatively weak military strength, they were not too conspicuous in World War I and World War II.

In fact, there is not much conquest of Nordic Ernst**, even Denmark, of course, there is a very important reason in it, that is, Sweden and Denmark are both monarchies, especially Denmark and the European royal ancestors, Ernst does not want them to die.

Now Ernst is already very active in handling relations with Denmark and several Nordic countries, and they hesitate because they don't know what the future war situation will be, and they believe that once the Eastern European Alliance has a clear direction and the intention of decisive victory, they will quickly throw themselves into the camp of the Eastern European Alliance.

After more than a year of accumulating strength, Germany was already quite strong at this time, but it was also very aggrieved, because Austria, the only one that could increase its strength, was now a member of the Eastern European Alliance, and it was firmly confined to this land, and perhaps the only object it could attack was France.

Now Germany is like a wolf, and behind him is the tiger of the Eastern European Union, the wolf is very hungry and wants to eat, but the tiger can't beat the weaker dog, and this dog is undoubtedly the France in front of him.

With the fall of Nanjing, the Far East had begun a period of all-out war, and Mr. Chiang had no other thoughts at this time, after all, Japan was his great enemy.

The roar of artillery, the clash of fighters, the roar of machine guns and submachine guns, the death of people every day, and the change of positions of both sides every day, although the Japanese side of the 1.35 million army and the Nationalist Government are more numerous, but in terms of quality, they are far inferior.

Let's not talk about the armament issue, but only the quality of the soldiers, the Japanese are all veterans of the conquest of Southeast Asia, and the army of the Nationalist Government is ...... It's really rare to be able to fight.

At this time, it was no longer the time when the revolutionary army had just been created, and the reunification had made them begin to decay, and the combat effectiveness of the army had repeatedly declined with the merger of a large number of various forces.

The war has just begun, and most of them have already expected that it will be defeated one after another, and things are indeed as they imagined, even faster than they thought, so Mr. Chiang had to turn to the United States frequently, and we needed loans, a lot of loans!

Mr. Jiang is actually a benevolent and righteous person, being a friend and a boss is the happiest thing for his friends and subordinates, but happiness does not mean that a country can be happy because of this.

Doorman made a mistake? Punish it a little! After all, it's an old subordinate who has followed me for many years! This was Mr. Chiang's usual attitude, but he forgot that it was his attitude that invisibly connived at those disciples, otherwise the Nationalist Government would not have been defeated so quickly.

If he could, Ernst would still be willing to make a friend of Mr. Chiang, but it was a pity that they chose the United States instead of the Eastern European Alliance, so Ernst could only choose to give up and wait for the third phase of this ancient country to arrive after the war.

The period of the Beiyang government, the period of the national government, the new era! These are the three phases that Ernst divided into for this ancient country, and Ernst is the only one who does not have a good relationship with this second stage. (To be continued.) )
