Chapter 332: Sino-German Alliance
"Your Majesty, our soldiers' ability to adapt to the environment is still relatively strong, so at this stage, our soldiers have almost adapted to it. The phenomenon of seasickness has basically disappeared, and I believe that it will not be long before our soldiers will be able to devote themselves to the war! Wu Zhenjie replied in a more official manner.
Although China and Germany are allies, this does not mean that all the secrets between the two countries and between the two militaries are shared. Although the Germans already knew that the expeditionary force was currently working on a plan for the offensive, the specifics of this plan and the specific plan for its implementation were not known to the Germans. Even the main purpose of this battle plan is not clear.
In formulating battle plans, the Chinese have always used the staff officers of their headquarters to complete it. It seems that they knew more about the situation in Europe than the Germans, never asked the Germans any questions, and carried out the project completely independently. This is also the reason why the German officer only knew that Wu Zhenjie was making a battle plan, but did not know the specific content and progress, but it was only because of a chance accident that he felt that the Chinese seemed to be making a plan.
And the German [***] officer, on the basis of this keen feeling, reported the matter to the Kaiser, and finally according to the officer's analysis, the Kaiser's visit took place. Regardless of the specific situation, as long as the Chinese are working out this plan, no matter what the content of the plan is, it will be beneficial to the Germans' actions in the future. Even if the Chinese army only went around the territory of France and helped the German troops to garrison some places.
Of course, the Kaiser can only think about these words in his heart, if he really wants to do this, not to mention others, just to say Kaiser Wilhelm, he will definitely be the first not to agree. How can there be a place that you have beaten down and handed it over to foreigners to guard? Even if you don't think about the feelings of the people, you have to think about your own face.
And now that he has received a more subtle answer from the Chinese side, the Kaiser's face has gradually shown a smile. Although this passage does not explicitly tell the Kaiser that the Chinese side is working on a plan, it is very vague that the Kaiser will soon be in battle. It's a battle, not a garrison. Of course, as long as this result is obtained, the Kaiser will be satisfied.
In fact, these are beyond reproach, as long as the Chinese are clearly stationed in Germany, they have completely stood with the Germans, and it is impossible to turn back, and there is no way to turn back. Britain, France, Russia, the United States and other countries can only regard the Chinese as enemies. And as early as a few months ago, the Chinese had declared war on them, and the two sides were already belligerents, but there was no actual action.
And the Kaiser seems to be frightened by something, but he has only received a verbal promise from the Chinese, and his heart is not very relieved, as if as long as the Chinese do not go to war and do not carry out any substantive actions, the stone in the Kaiser's heart will never be able to put down.
The Kaiser's worries were not without their help, nor were they without their worries. No one knows better than the Kaiser what the true strength of the Germans really is. Don't look at the fighting spirit of the Germans now, don't look at the whole world. But in reality, the Germans have nothing to be proud of, and even the most basic military industry is now very lacking. Often, when the weapons and equipment of the troops at the front are broken, they can only temporarily repair them themselves, and if they can't repair them, they can only pick up other people's ones to use.
Another reason for restricting the Germans is that they do not have a huge supply of resources, and the world's excellent resources are basically supplied to the British, who can rely on their huge resources to produce all kinds of war needs without limit, but the Germans cannot. The few allies who had been there had been had been little help to the Germans in this regard. When the Chinese clearly joined this battle group, the Kaiser finally saw a ray of light.
At least the Chinese do not lack any resources, China, which has a large land and abundant resources, most of the resources can be produced directly from the mainland, and the rampant in Asia has made the resources lacking in China flow more quickly to China. Once the Chinese took their first steps in Europe at this time, then the Germans could be said to be tied to a large sum. At least in terms of resources, they don't have to worry too much, and the Chinese will help them when necessary.
"General Wu, although the German people very much hope that your soldiers can start the war as soon as possible and jointly create the myth of the German-Chinese alliance, I still hope that your troops can adapt to it for as many days as possible, after all, the soldiers have been sailing continuously for so long, and they are physically quite tired, and we cannot let the soldiers join the war hastily before they have a complete rest." Wilhelm II sighed and said.
Wilhelm II, who sat down, inadvertently fiddled with his gloves. This was a common practice of Wilhelm II, and due to certain problems at birth, Kaiser Wilhelm's left hand was underdeveloped, and it appeared to be shorter than his right hand. This is why Wilhelm II always likes to use a pair of gloves in his left hand, or hold a cane or something when he is fine. Because this looks a little bit like the difference between the two is not so obvious.
Although he has some physical disabilities, Wilhelm II's head is absolutely very smart, and even when he is like Zhongtian, a random sentence is enough to make the whole world tremble, just like the current emperor of China, Wang Lin. No matter what decision Wang Lin makes, it will be carefully considered by countries around the world. And any military decision will make people tremble, for fear of harming the fish in the pond.
It can be seen from this that Germany's original strength is already very strong. The reason why today's Germans feel that they have the heart but not enough to spare is actually not complicated, and if you think about it, you can guess it. The world war was a few years earlier than the original time in history, and at this time, the countries of the world were not yet ready. Even the Germans, who started the war first, were not ready.
Suddenly starting a war without any preparation is something that no country can afford to live in, not even the Chinese. It's just that before this, Wang Lin has been carefully preparing for many years, in Wang Lin's opinion, as long as he is ready, it is fine, as for others, love is not ready. If you are not prepared, you can let yourself fish in troubled waters.
However, Wang Lin also gave the Germans some hints, and the Germans also made some corresponding preparations for this, but Rao is so, the Germans' preparations are still insufficient, the war has just started less than a year, the Germans feel a little difficult, if this continues, unless the Germans open up a second battlefield, otherwise, they will be fully on the defensive after half a year.
You must know that once the attacking troops enter the defensive state, then there is basically no chance to attack again in the future. On a deeper level, the country is basically finished. Historically, Germany has been like this. At that time, the Germans were in a hurry to open up a second battlefield, and Tsarist Russia was finally defeated there. And he himself did the same, opening up a second battlefield and attacking China from Burma. At the same time, he also made a big move in Southeast Asian countries, which is also one of the reasons for his failure.
The Germans did not want to fail, but this was not their own decision, and there were things that would always deviate from their intended track. War is the most prone to this kind of thing. Even the Chinese, who were sweeping the world at this time, may not be able to completely grasp the course of the war.
If the Chinese still have nothing to show at this time, then the final result of the Germans will definitely be the same as in history, and in desperation, they have to open a second battlefield to maintain the consumption required in these wars. The benefits obtained from France and other countries alone could no longer sustain the Germans in continuing the war. A war without interests will only end up dragging down the temporarily victorious country.
But speech, you also need to have the skill of speaking, if Wilhelm II directly asked the Chinese, when exactly do you plan to carry out military operations? Isn't this a clear statement that I am not satisfied with your behaviour and that I am forcing them to go to war as soon as possible? If it's some other country, Italy, Austria-Hungary, it doesn't matter, but the opposite side is Chinese, so it won't work.
It can be said more obscurely, or unceremoniously, that the current Chinese are basically the only defense of the Germans. The reason why the Germans dared to launch an attack so early and without being prepared at all was nothing more than the instigation of China. Once the Chinese stop aiding Germany, then the Germans will definitely be in a difficult situation. Resources are completely blocked, and strategic materials from the outside world cannot enter at all.
The army units of the Germans were quite strong, but they were navy. In front of the British, it is a little too small. A navy that had been developed for hundreds of years, the Germans could not defeat them for a while. Unless, of course, they can have the kind of equipment that China has. A piece of equipment that is ahead of its time. Hit battleships with warplanes and leave the enemy defenseless.
Anyone who knows a little bit about warships understands that although the battleship is very powerful, it is nothing more than the role of a sea turret, with fierce firepower and large tonnage, which is indeed fatal for some other ships. But once it is against the fighter, then its weakness is completely revealed. The thickness of the top armor is insufficient, and the anti-air defense is basically zero. When the battleship was first built, it was because of its powerful firepower, and now it is impossible to reduce the firepower configuration of the battleship and increase some air defense facilities.
Without powerful firepower, can a battleship still be called a battleship? If this were the case, then some other small ships would be enough to take on this task, and at this time, the battleship seemed to be useless. Its advantages, too, are left with nothing in front of Chinese fighters. Powerful firepower, simply unable to withstand the attack of fighters. At the moment when the fighter plane was condescending, the entire battleship was like a puddle of rotten iron, and it could only be attacked by the enemy at will.
And on its own, it does not have any defensive capabilities at all, and even the most basic counterattack cannot be done. By now, the British finally understood that battleships were not the most reliable. The previous hegemony was only because they did not find their opponents. Now that this opponent has come out, it means that in this world, battleships are not invincible. At this time, the British seemed to finally understand why some time ago, the Chinese would sell all their battleships without scruples.
At the same time, the Chinese Navy is equipped with a huge number of small ships, and a large part of those ships are weak against battleships, but there is still a slight threat to some ordinary ships. Now that they have experienced the power of aircraft carriers, the British finally felt relieved and suddenly realized. Now it seems that it is a little late to catch up with the Chinese in a U-turn.
The planes of the British, even flying into the sky are still a problem, let alone fighting in the sky. The Chinese did give them some inspiration, but that was limited to appearances. What's the use of knowing only a gorgeous exterior but not the inner structure? It can only confuse the designer's thinking.
People cannot ascend to the sky in one step, and when they first tried to learn from the Chinese's warplanes to study fighters, they were ruthlessly rejected by scientific researchers from various countries. Up to now, they have not even mastered the most basic principles of airplanes. It would be false to say that they are not proficient, since the first airplane was born, they have known the general principle of the airplane, and the principle mentioned here is the principle that can make the plane stay in the air for a long time and make various actions.
Of course, the engine is only one of them, such as some exterior designs, they also once thought that the plane flying in the sky is nothing more than relying on the powerful engine power to push. However, if you want to change the movement of the aircraft, this needs to be further studied. However, at a time when the whole world was having a headache about this matter, the Chinese solved this solution perfectly. At the same time, the fighters were resold to Germany.
Although it was a biplane, it was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the countries within the range. The Germans said that they had studied it themselves, and only a fool would believe this statement of the Germans. Besides, they are not without spies in the top echelons of Germany, how can they not know whether it is true or false? Even Britain even knows the specific origin of these German fighters, but there is no substantial evidence.
Now the Chinese are at the forefront of the world in any aspect, and it can be said that as long as China can be on their side, then they will have half the chance of winning this war. Advanced armored forces, perfect army tactics, coupled with high-tech air force strikes, and a strong naval fleet, the combination of land, sea and air will be difficult for any country to resist. This is the best example of this.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I assure you that in no more than a month, our officers and men will stand on the territory of the enemy country and work together with friendly troops to create a myth that truly belongs to the Sino-German coalition." Wu Zhenjie smiled slightly. Said magnificently.
At present, the whole of Europe has been divided into the European Theater by Wang Lin, and Wilhelm II was naturally appointed by Wang Lin as the Supreme Commander of the European Theater. Although this appointment was incommisable to many people, even Wilhelm II himself, he could only nod his head helplessly to accept it. The strength of the Chinese, they are not unseen. Now seeing the bravery of the Chinese Navy, many Germans also continue to nod secretly, praising Wilhelm II's vision, fortunately did not offend the Chinese at the beginning, otherwise, the current Germans would definitely have suffered heavy losses.
What they didn't know, of course, was that Wilhelm II was only looking for an ally in the Far East that would help Germany attract some of the enemy's energy. But they did not know that it was precisely because of this idea that the Germans found a loyal and reliable ally, and this ally was even more powerful than themselves.
At present, China's emperor Wang Lin calls himself the supreme commander of the Asian theater, and it stands to reason that the supreme commander of the European theater should also be held by themselves, but Wang Lin sent a telegram and appointed Wilhelm II as the supreme commander of the European theater. Although it seems a little awkward, the commander of one theater of operations appoints the commander of another theater of operations, according to common sense, the two of them should be at the same level.
But in fact, at present, the whole world has to do things according to the attitude of Asia. For the time being, no one dared to resist the people appointed by Wang Lin. However, since the Chinese Expeditionary Force has come to Europe, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is nominally under the command of the Supreme Commander of the European Theater of Operations, Wilhelm II. But in reality, Wilhelm II did not dare to command this army from the First Empire, where they could command anyone, but no one could really command them without scruples.
People's backgrounds are very hard, even if you command, people may not be able to listen to them, and in the end, they won't be scratched? It is better to be safe and secure in front of the host, if there is nothing to go up and knock on the two bars, if they can listen, it is the best, if they can't listen, then it doesn't matter, anyway, they came, even if they completed the task, it doesn't matter if they can help the Germans defeat the enemy, the important thing is that the intentions of the Chinese are already obvious.
"Well, General Wu, we will definitely work together to create a myth that belongs to the Sino-German coalition forces!"
