The war has broken out in full swing, and with the Chinese expedition to Europe, Britain and France and other countries are feeling great pressure. With only one naval fleet, galloping over the seas of Europe, the British fleet was simply unable to resist. The British simply could not imagine that just as you sailed out of the port, you were hit from all sides from the air.

Even when you sink, you won't be able to see the opposing ship's ship at all. According to their spy leaks, the Chinese naval fleet basically stayed at sea except for shore supplies when necessary. It is obviously impossible to sneak up on them while they are resupplying.

Since the arrival of the Chinese expeditionary force in Europe, the German naval forces, which had been suppressed by the British, obviously felt that the pressure around them did not exist. And they know that these invisible pressures have been silently transferred by the Chinese to the British. Without this fleet of the Chinese, the Germans would probably return to their previous state. Therefore, when the Chinese fleet docked for supplies, it was often the time when the German army was most heavily defended.

In addition to the complete defense measures on the land side, and in order to defend against the enemy's attack from the sea, the German side also deployed a certain number of German fleets to defend the perimeter of the port. For the Chinese, it was worth it for the Germans to do so. Whether it was from the Chinese naval units or army units, the Germans were pleasantly surprised.

In a naval fleet, all ships except aircraft carriers are small ships, and of course, in front of those 10,000-ton battleships, they are indeed small ships. But it was such a fleet that gave the British a headache, and the early active offensive had been transformed into today's retracted defense. Even so, we must always guard against the arrival of the Chinese.

The British fleet, which did not have any anti-aircraft weapons, often only perished when it encountered the Chinese navy. It's just that what is even more difficult for the Germans to understand is how the Chinese put fighters on warships? And it's the kind of high-end fighter of that kind. You know, the fighters that the Germans bought from China are still biplane fighters.

Even in the eyes of the Germans, this kind of fighter is advanced enough, but in front of the Chinese fighters, it is too chilling, and in terms of range, biplane fighters can only think about it. In terms of combat effectiveness, how can a biplane fighter beat the Chinese fighter? And its own surname can not be compared with this monoplane fighter at all. In the field of air combat, the Germans still have an absolute advantage.

If it weren't for the lack of fighter range, the Germans would have placed their fighters all over the British Isles, leaving them to live in the shadow of air warfare all day long. If nothing else, at least a seed of fear was planted in the hearts of the British, and when the Germans attacked the British mainland, they could end the fighting as soon as possible. Although the Germans love the madness of war, this does not mean that they have no resistance to war.

It's just that this kind of thing is related to the future of the Amen country, so they have to bury their heads in hard work, but this kind of thing is not a thing like war, and it is not something that water can do as he wants, nor does anyone do what he wants.

As for the Chinese army units, the Germans couldn't help but give a thumbs up, although they have not yet participated in the battle, but from their equipment alone, it can be seen that they are indeed elite troops. If it is a third-rate army, then it can only show that China is so powerful that even the equipment of the third-rate troops is more advanced than the main forces of other countries.

However, judging from the equipment of the expeditionary forces of China's two armies, it is obvious that these two forces are not at the same level at all. The firepower of one corps of the Eleventh Army was enough to top the ninety-ninth army of the first two armies, and the firepower of one ninety-ninth army was also enough to top the two Wehrmacht units. 100,000 Chinese Defense Forces, after arriving in Europe, their combat effectiveness is not just 100,000 people, according to the statistics of people who are interested in estimating, the 110,000 troops of the Chinese Defense Forces, if they want to prevent their attack, I am afraid that they will have at least 300,000 to 400,000 troops.

And this number is just a conservative statistic. As for the real numbers, this still needs to be tested in actual combat, and no one can open their mouths casually here.

The Chinese Wehrmacht is stationed in a temporary military camp somewhere in Germany, saying that it is a temporary military camp, but in fact it is just a few tents, fortunately the Chinese came with their own marching tents, otherwise, the Germans may really have to work for a while. The problem of accommodation for more than 100,000 people alone is enough of a headache.

The situation with the expeditionary force was somewhat different from that in other places. Originally, it was an ocean-going operation, and the commander of each army was naturally unable to take on the post of commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force now, and Europe was not as good as fighting at home. Even if it doesn't matter to the surrounding countries, Wang Lin can arrange a military commander to the post of deputy commander without any care. Of course, if Wang Lin really did this, he would basically determine one thing, Wang Lin planned to cultivate new people.

Long Yuhui was the most obvious example, since the Battle of Shenyang, Long Yuhui has been steadily moving forward, gradually breaking away from the 56th Division, and jumping directly into the command ranks of the group army in great strides. As for Long Yuhui's treatment, others can only think about it in their hearts, and when it is their turn, those commanders in the National Defense Force prefer Chen Mingjie's promotion route.

First serve as a deputy and then move into a main position. For those soldiers who do not have a tough background, doing so is undoubtedly more stable their position, although the situation of seniority in the army is no longer so obvious, but this does not mean that the issue of seniority does not exist completely. At any time, it is impossible for seniority to disappear. And Wang Lin's large-scale promotion of the generals is nothing more than a signal.

I, Wang Lin, don't care how old you are or what kind of experience you have, as long as you have the ability, then you can be promoted exceptionally, you don't want any qualifications, here, what you want is ability. But such a situation, after all, is only a small number, and it is impossible to promote young generals on a large scale. After all, this country is not a country of young guys.

As for the age range of the country's top officials, in order to get rid of the danger of the elderly controlling the country, Wang Lin can only reduce the age limit for high-level officials, and for those officials who have stepped down, they will no longer participate in any political affairs. It's good to have experience and qualifications, but that's not a reason to point fingers. Young people have young people's thoughts, and although your older generation has some credit, your busy mind is not as active as that of young people.

Wu Zhenjie was originally only a major general commander in the Ministry of National Defense, and participated in the War of Liberation and the Sino-British War in Hong Kong. Later, he was favored by Wang Lin and sent to a small black house for a period of study, and after coming out, he did not immediately return to the army, but went to the Ministry of Defense and formed a European command group. Its main task is to study the surnames of Europeans and the direction that should be paid attention to in future warfare.

This time in Europe, Wu Zhenjie is naturally the commander-in-chief's preferred personnel, after all, he has been cultivated by Wang Lin for so many years, and at a critical time, it is time to come out and show his face. On the other hand, Long Yuhui, commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Corps, and Chen Mingjie, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Legion, are real generals. Wu Zhenjie, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary corps, who was also the commander-in-chief, was originally just a major general officer. If it weren't for the embarrassment of the major general commanding the lieutenant general, Wang Lin urgently promoted Wu Zhenjie to lieutenant general before he set out on the expedition.

Let's not care when Wu Zhenjie was promoted to lieutenant general, the commander-in-chief of the first lieutenant general, commanding the lieutenant general to fight, at least it doesn't sound so awkward.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Your Majesty our Emperor is coming to meet you in the barracks, I wonder what His Excellency Commander-in-Chief thinks?" A young German officer asked with some respect.

Ever since the expeditionary force came to Europe, the German officer has been following Wu Zhenjie. In addition to serving as Wu Zhenjie's translator and liaison officer with the German side, he also served as Wu Zhenjie's secretary in Germany. To put it bluntly, all the news about the Germans only needs to be handed over to this officer, and then he will convey it to Wu Zhenjie. And what help Wu Zhenjie needs, or what plans he has, can also be told to the Germans through this officer.

Although the number of Chinese expeditionary forces is small, it is less than one-tenth of the entire army in the Wehrmacht. At first, the German officer still had a sense of superiority. There are even some people who look down on the Chinese, after all, the Easterners in this era are generally looked down upon in the West.

Moreover, this German officer obviously did not know that the armored vehicles and fighters equipped by the German army were all purchased from China. If he knew this, he would not dare to be killed and would not dare to hold a superior mentality in front of the Chinese. Thankfully, however, the naval fleet defeated the British in naval battles. The British, who were pressing forward step by step, could only retreat to the British mainland and carry out a retrenched defense.

Of course, they didn't know that the Chinese had such a strong strength before, and when the news came before, they always thought that the Chinese were infinitely boasting about their own achievements, and they didn't pay any attention to it. Now that the facts are in front of him, he can't help but believe it. Therefore, in terms of attitude towards the Chinese, this German officer is naturally much more sincere.

"Well, okay, I wonder when His Majesty the Kaiser will come? How can we be ready to respond? Wu Zhenjie responded softly.

The Germans treat themselves as guests, and naturally they can't put on a big shelf, and they are also the emperors of Germany, and being able to personally run to the barracks to meet Wu Zhenjie is already considered to give face to the Chinese. If the Chinese side does not do something about it, it seems that it is a bit too much.

Moreover, since coming to Europe, Wu Zhenjie's communication with the Germans has basically been limited to this German officer. Obviously, at this point, Wu Zhenjie is still a little bit out of place. It's just that what Wu Zhenjie doesn't know is that since they came to Germany, everything they are doing is known to the Kaiser, and now the Kaiser is not a surprise attack, but it is time to have to come forward.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, our Imperial Majesty, will arrive at the barracks in the afternoon to meet you!" The German officer said a little flatly. In fact, he also acted as a spy and reported the movements of the Chinese to the Kaiser, so that the Kaiser could grasp the dynamics of the Chinese in time. Although the Chinese are allies, they should not be unguarded at all.

Wu Zhenjie nodded lightly, and immediately whispered a word to an officer beside him, only to see that the officer answered softly, and then turned to leave. The German officer seemed to know what Wu Zhenjie had just said to the officer, and was not at all curious about the content of their conversation.

Time passed quietly, and the morning passed in the blink of an eye. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Kaiser Wilhelm appeared punctually in the barracks of the Chinese Wehrmacht. Since this was a period of warfare, it was impossible for the army to carry any honor guards, military bands and other types of troops, and the task of receiving the Kaiser could only fall on the guards directly under the headquarters. As for the other soldiers, these things naturally do not take their turn, all they need to do now is rest, rest vigorously.

There has always been a tradition in the Chinese [***] team, before the war, there is basically no shadow of the soldiers' training, maybe sitting together in groups of three or five fart chatting, or wiping their weapons and equipment, or sleeping with their heads covered, but the training ground is empty. However, outside the war zone, the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training is somewhat unbearable. This is also what Wang Lin once mentioned to Tang San, train more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime.

After the start of the war, the rest time of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, so before the war, the soldiers will be left enough rest time, so as not to let the soldiers go to the battlefield with their tired bodies and cause unnecessary losses. This point is consistent whether it is a Class A unit, a B unit, or a C unit.

When the Kaiser entered the barracks, he saw groups of soldiers sitting together chatting, talking and laughing, without the slightest hint of defense. Even if this is in Germany, on the home soil of their allies, is it a bit too bold to do so? However, these are all Chinese, and Wilhelm, as the German emperor, is embarrassed to teach them something directly as soon as he comes up.

After entering the headquarters of the expeditionary force, according to the guest and host, Wu Zhenjie sat on the main seat unceremoniously. Although this is Germany, this is in the barracks of the Chinese, and even if the Kaiser arrives here, he can only sit in the guest seat. China is a country that pays attention to seats, and in this regard, Wu Zhenjie will not regress in the slightest.

Although the Kaiser was a little embarrassed on his face and the officers below were also in some atmosphere, for the sake of the overall situation, the Kaiser still endured it. Seeing that Huang Yanjing endured this breath, the others naturally didn't want to say anything. can only just stay and stand on the sidelines, how dare they sit with the emperor?

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, on behalf of the German people and the soldiers of the Wehrmacht, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the arrival of the Chinese allies, and I believe that with the addition of the Chinese allies, we will definitely achieve victory faster!" As soon as he sat down, before Wu Zhenjie could speak, Kaiser Wilhelm hurriedly made a more official opening statement.

Although it is somewhat official, Wu Zhenjie now represents Wang Lin, not him personally, so at this time, Wu Zhenjie can only reply in an official tone: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of our country, as well as the more than 2 million soldiers of the whole army and the 450 million people of the country, I would like to thank His Majesty William for his trust in our country and for being able to provide us with such great help, and His Majesty the Emperor of our country also firmly believes that with the cooperation of China and Germany, the final victory of the war will definitely be ours!" ”

"General Wu, I wonder if the friendly soldiers will be able to adapt to the environment here after coming to Germany?" William asked tactfully.

Wu Zhenjie, who is shrewd and can't do it, how can he not know William's intentions? It's just that the plan is still being worked out now, and it's not good to say anything to William in such a hurry. Of course, in the more than half a month since the expeditionary force arrived in Europe, the expeditionary force's performance did not look like it was coming to fight a war at all, but more like it was coming for tourism.

Since coming here, the Chinese have stayed in the barracks all day, and according to the informant, the Chinese eat and drink here, chat, sleep and sleep, except for training. If it weren't for the Kaiser knowing that Wu Zhenjie was studying the battle plan, he would really have a plan to drive them away.

Our Germany is not a country with abundant materials, it is good enough to be able to endure the pain and cut out some meat to feed you, who would have thought that after the Chinese came, instead of entering the battle at the first time, they slept in the barracks every day. Kaiser Wilhelm suddenly had a feeling that he had been tricked. Knowing that Wu Zhenjie's plan was basically in the final stage, William hurriedly came to the barracks to find out.

The Chinese have been eating and drinking for nothing for so long, and if they don't give the Germans an explanation, then the face on William's face is really unbearable. You can't just be cheated by someone for nothing, right? If the Chinese only came to Germany to cheer them up, affirm their position, and did not plan to fight for a short time, then the Germans would have to change their battle plan as soon as possible.

To know the later battle plan of the Germans, it is basically coordinated with the Chinese. Now without the help of the Chinese, the Germans naturally have to change their plans as soon as possible so as not to increase losses or something. At present, the Kaiser asked this question very tactfully, in fact, he asked Wu Zhenjie again, since you have already come, you have eaten and drunk, what are you going to do now? Are you going to stay like this? Or do you have enough to eat and drink and go straight to the battlefield? Let's leave it anyway, why don't you give me a word? It also makes us feel more or less prepared!
