Chapter 335: Annual Summary
The Anglo-German War lasted for nearly two months, during which the German troops passed all the way, and after the naval forces were defeated by the Chinese Navy, the German army was even more smoothly sailing. Along the way, without taking anyone into account, the British authorities resolutely chose to surrender after they were unable to resist the German military offensive and the pleas of the people at home.
This war gave people a clear look at the end of the battleship, the future of the fighter. Those countries that are vigorously developing battleships have also come to a standstill in desperation for a while, and the huge military investment has been irretrievable, and those empty expenditures have been wasted. The strength of the Chinese tells them the impossible surname of the truth. Britain had been defeated, and the instrument of surrender had been submitted, but in two copies, one to Germany and the other to China.
There was no one to compete with the Chinese, and hundreds of ships on the British mainland were powerless to resist a fleet from China, and were eventually defeated by others. You must know that China now has quite a few fleets, and there are four fleets for territorial defense alone. In addition, there are four foreign fleets, I just don't know, how many aircraft carriers of the latest type are they equipped with?
At the beginning of June, the Northern Expeditionary Corps of the Chinese Defense Forces officially began its military offensive against Tsarist Russia. For a time, the troops deployed by Tsarist Russia in the Far East were in chaos, and the superiors could not find their subordinates, and the subordinates could not find their superiors. The Russian troops, who were in chaos for a while, could only resist the attack of the Chinese in the chaos.
Although I was a little reluctant in my heart, this was the request of the Chinese boss, and the boss also made it clear that we in China don't want anything except that port. If the Germans continue to engage with the Chinese at this time, it is uncertain whether the Chinese will impose military sanctions on Germany. After all, those who dare to disobey the orders of the Chinese in this world eventually become either countries like North Korea and Yuben, or countries like Britain.
Fortunately, the Kaiser can clearly see the pros and cons of this, and even has seen the true intention of the Chinese to demand that Britain cede this port. The Chinese simply want to set up their own ports in Europe and spread their military bases all over the world. It doesn't matter, anyway, the Chinese will not be able to attack Europe in a big way, as long as the Chinese are still there, the Germans who follow the pace of China are likely to be so popular all the time.
Of course, in this process, the Chinese expeditionary force still has the main task, and in addition to the necessary military guidance, the Chinese are more about fighting the military power of Tsarist Russia. This time, the Germans completely saw the strength of the Chinese Army. I don't know how many times stronger than when I landed in the UK before.
The end of the year has come in the blink of an eye, and in the course of this year, China's progress has indeed been enormous. These advances, even though Wang Lin expected, were ultimately shocked. It was done, Wang Lin really did it.
In the Wuhan Imperial Palace, the same as last year, the same people, the same place, but in addition to the same people, there are only a few more people. At present, the commander-in-chief of the three major army corps is General Long Yuhui, General Chen Mingjie, and Lieutenant General Wu Zhenjie. During the war years, the voice of the military has always been very important, and some things of the country are sometimes inseparable from the support of the military at all. What's more, Wang Lin is currently more concerned about the progress of the military, and it seems that he can't wait.
In last year's annual summary, Wang Lin first asked about the general direction of the whole thing, rather than a specific thing, and the reason why Wang Lin asked this year is enough to show Wang Lin's concern about this matter.
"So, we quickly made a breakthrough on the Russian battlefield, and for several months we have been on the march of victory, and our troops are now in the Siberian region. But as the weather got colder, it became clear that our soldiers were not used to the weather, and often every once in a while, the bolts of their guns would freeze. Even peeing turned into icicles before it hit the ground. Although we have arranged a large number of cotton clothes, quilts, fur hats, gloves and other cold protection items, our soldiers are still a little difficult to bear the weather over there. Now many soldiers have fallen ill, and they can only stay in their tents all day, relying on the arch fire to keep warm! ”
It's just that Wang Lin has made so many preparations before, and all the thermal materials have been used, but now he still can't resist the cold weather in Russia. When he first heard this passage, Wang Lin's heart couldn't help but sting suddenly.
"As for the Air Force, the temperature in the sky is already lower than on the ground, and the pilots of the Air Force have been frozen a month ago, if I hadn't forced them to stop flying, I'm afraid that in the past month, we will receive a lot of news about the damage to fighter planes because the weather is too cold for the pilots to bear."
"Well, since the weather is so cold, then let the soldiers rest for a winter, but pay attention to protection, don't let the Russian army take the opportunity to sneak attack our barracks, and while keeping warm, you can't forget to stand guard and stand guard. At this time, as long as the Russian army does not take the initiative to come to us, we will stay in the tent to keep warm. As much as possible, the soldiers did not get frostbitten and frostbitten. Wang Lin said softly.
"Zhenjie, what's going on in Europe?" Wang Lin turned to look at Wu Zhenjie. If it weren't for the fact that he had just been promoted to lieutenant general, he would have been employed now with the rank of general. In fact, Wu Zhenjie and Long Yuhui are students of the same class, and they are even older than Long Yuhui in terms of age, but the paths they choose are different, and the final result is different.
"We were about to reach St. Petersburg, but due to the cold weather, we had to abandon our final plan and have to wait until the beginning of the spring of the next year to attack St. Petersburg. But for this winter, it is very likely that the Tsarist side will make corresponding countermeasures, but for this situation, we can only do nothing. If the Tsar takes the opportunity to escape from St. Petersburg, there is nothing we can do. ”
Wang Lin also nodded secretly, and sure enough, he came as in history. German soldiers, it is because they can't stand the weather there, so there are a lot of deserters, of course, this is only one of them, on the way to attack Tsarist Russia, the German soldiers who froze to death are far more than the German soldiers who died in the war. This was mainly due to the lack of preparation on the part of the Germans, coupled with the confusion of logistical transport.
When the German soldiers were powerless to take care of it, and did not fight back, then the Russians would really become fools. But with the Chinese it is very different, although the Chinese are also afraid of the cold, but they are still capable of counterattacking, once the Chinese are angered, in case even the eastern front continues to attack, then Russia will not have the slightest chance of turning the tables. In the end, although the Russians had some sense of counteroffensive, they were still unable to make up their minds.
"The Southeast Asian side has gone quite well, since the settlement of Vietnam and other countries, the Philippines and Malaysia have also shown their weak side, after our troops arrived there, it was basically just a parade, and they surrendered quickly, but some local natives still gave us a lot of trouble. Indonesia is the most prominent, and they often take the opportunity to sneak up on our military camps, or overseas Chinese. Many of them were attacked by Lan Fang when they were helping us. Up to now, many Lanfang people have died on this. ”
"I have given orders for massacres several times, and each time the mercenaries have done a very good job, and only a few lucky Indonesians have survived." Chen Mingjie said this, in fact, he was also reminding Long Yuhui in disguise that there are some things that can be done by mercenaries, and this kind of thing will have an impact on people's hearts.
In any case, in the past year, Wang Lin was quite satisfied with the performance of the three legions fighting outside. The British side has surrendered for half a year, and more than half of the land on the Russian side has actually been administered by China. In Southeast Asia, there is basically no big deal. The only things to worry about now are the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
