Chapter 605: Unhappy Breakup

When it was France's turn, Prime Minister Clemenceau walked up to the stage on crutches and with a stack of manuscripts in an old fashion, facing all the delegates from all the countries attending the meeting.

Clemenceau took on his reading glasses and glanced at the manuscript, looked up and said: "Sir, I have listened to the propositions and reasons of the representatives of the dignitaries of various countries just now, and I agree with most of your proposals, but there is one point that I disagree with, I do not think it is wise to put the main strategic offensive direction on the Eastern Front, I don't understand military affairs, but General Foch of my country told me that anyone with a little military common sense knows that now we have to talk about placing the main strategic offensive direction of our Entente on the Western Front. Opening a second battlefield on the Western Front to form the most powerful blow to the German army, so as to consume the living forces of the German army is the wisest choice!

Why do I say that? There is a reason for this, Britain has a strong naval fleet that can guarantee the safety of the English Channel, we have the English Channel as a back, and we can completely land on the west coast of France to launch an attack on Germany, with the English Channel as a back, we can attack and retreat, even if the German army is strong, there is nothing we can do with us, unless they can swim through the English Channel, but before they can swim through the English Channel, our naval fleet will wipe them out!

Gentlemen, now we have a million French army on British soil, and two million troops from Britain, Australia, Canada and other colonies, a total of three million, and these three million troops stay in Britain and do nothing, this is a waste of food, what is the purpose of the army's storage? It was prepared for war. Now that there is a war, but they are nested in the British Isles to enjoy the blessings, I don't know what some people think in their heads. We, France, strongly advocate the opening of a battlefield on the Western Front to fight against the Germans! ”

After the French finished speaking, it was the turn of the representatives of Tsarist Russia, the Tsarist side did not want to strengthen the offensive on the Eastern Front, and now the Germans finally stopped the offensive on the Eastern Front, if, according to the British proposal, they would again increase their forces on the Eastern Front and attack from the Eastern Front. Russia had to be defeated, and Russia was no longer able to attack, until now. The Tsarist side has already lost 3.5 million troops, and now the majority of the Tsarist army is basically serfs with little military training, and the combat effectiveness is no longer the same as two years ago, from another aspect. If attacked from the Eastern Front. The increased number of troops required ammunition and supplies from Tsarist Russia, which could not produce more ammunition and food at all. However, Tsarist Russia said that it can now contain the German-Austrian forces, but if it attacks, it will be exempted. George's face was even more ugly, French Prime Minister Clemenceau had already embarrassed him a little, and now there was another guy on the Tsarist side, and these little old men in their fifties suddenly breathed like cows.

After the retreat of the representatives of Tsarist Russia. In the end, it was Huaguo's turn, and Xiao Zhenlei did not take the manuscript. Empty-handed, in front of all the delegates, he walked up to the stage in front of all the national delegates. This is the first time that Western countries have listened to the speech of the head of state of China on such a high-level occasion, so everyone pricked up their ears.

"Gentlemen, now our country is still fighting with the Japanese in the eastern theater, it can be said that our country is fighting on two fronts, which is actually the most unwise strategically, and the huge logistical pressure makes our country breathless! The Japanese are very tenacious, they fight for every inch of land, their soldiers hide in every house in the city, our army wants to capture the Japanese city, we must fight with them for every house, some Japanese soldiers hide in big trees, some hide by the window, some hide under the bed, some hide in the rice tank, and some hide in the sewers and on the roof, if our soldiers are not careful, they will be shot by the Japanese soldiers hiding in the shadows, you can think about it, in the face-to-face position, The two sides are fighting in the open, and it is normal for bullets to be fired over and over, but how much psychological pressure does this tactic of shooting black guns in the back have to endure for our soldiers? The soldiers who go to the battlefield are not afraid of death, but if they are always on guard against bullets that may come from other dark places at any time, this is not a pressure that ordinary soldiers can withstand, although the casualties are very large, although our soldiers are suffering this fear every moment of every day, but I still adhere to my strategic offensive proposition, that is, the strategic offensive direction of Europe first, then Asia, first the western front, and then the eastern front.

Maybe my proposition of this strategic offensive direction has upset some people, they are very unhappy, but I have to insist on this, why should I insist on it? Because only this strategic offensive is in the right direction, you can ask your respective military generals, no matter which country's senior military generals, they will tell you that the Western Front is the best battlefield to defeat the German army, unless he dares to touch his chest and swear to your God to lie in public! Germany is the backbone of the Allies, defeating Germany is equivalent to defeating the Allies, the Japanese are just grasshoppers after the autumn, it will not last long, and Germany is undoubtedly the most powerful, we first concentrated our forces to defeat Germany, other small countries of the Allies do not need to fight at all, they will surrender, if we first fight those small countries that are too small in the same door and then go to fight Germany, how many more boys and supplies do we have to lose? How much more money do you waste? It's a very simple arithmetic problem, and I don't think you don't know how to calculate, right? Many of you are businessmen, and it stands to reason that you should be very good at business, and you should know how to make more money, so why is it that you businessmen are not shrewd here?

I know Lloyd's? Why does Mr. George advocate that the main direction of attack be on the Eastern Front, because Britain has its own interests in the Balkans, Mr. George is worried that Britain's interests in the Balkans will be damaged, and wants to take it back as soon as possible, I understand this, but Britain cannot sacrifice the interests of France, Portugal and Belgium to fulfill itself, our China has no interests in Europe, whether Mr. George advocates the Eastern Front or the Western Front, there is no problem, China can continue to increase troops to Europe, increase the number of troops by 500,000, One million is no problem, but the problem is that if so many troops are added, our logistics will not be able to keep up at all, if Britain can guarantee to provide all the supplies directly in Europe, even if it increases the number of troops by another two million, our country can bear it, the problem is that Britain is difficult to maintain even its own supplies, what can be used to maintain the supply of our expeditionary force? You must know that our army is an expeditionary force, and it is impossible for our country to provide all the supplies by itself, even if our country has the ability to provide it, there are not enough transport ships to transport it!

As for the establishment of the Supreme Command of the Allied Forces, I do not agree with it, Britain and France can set up a joint command, but if our expeditionary force is also under the jurisdiction of the Allied Command, I do not agree, why? Because the main forces of the British and French armies are on the Western Front, and now there are only the troops of our Expeditionary Force and the Tsarist Russian Army on the Eastern Front, how can the two different fronts be brought under a unified command? If the high command is located on the Western Front and does not understand the situation on the Eastern Front at all, how can he command the operations on the Eastern Front? This is a table of irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers! ”

British Prime Minister Lloyd at this time? George's face was already the same as the color of a pig's liver, he got up and stared at Xiao Zhenlei on the stage and glared fiercely, "Hmph! Then he flicked his arms and walked away on crutches, and everyone in the venue looked at George in amazement, and the sound of his crutches clattering on the floor was clearly audible throughout the room.

Subsequently, the representatives of the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania, Greece, Serbia and other countries all got up and threw their sleeves away, and suddenly the whole venue was empty, leaving the representatives of France, Tsarist Russia, Portugal, Belgium and other countries to look at each other, Xiao Zhenlei shrugged his shoulders and walked off the stage to wave his hand to the officials, everyone walked out together, the meeting could not go on at this time, and the remaining representatives of various countries had to get up and leave, and today's meeting broke up unhappily.

Back at the villa, Xiao Zhenlei lay on the sofa, took it off and put it on the coffee table, and the other accompanying officials also sat down, Liang Qichao sighed as soon as he sat down: "Hey, this British Prime Minister Lloyd?" George's temper is too big, if he has something to say, if it is slightly less than he wants, he will throw his sleeves and leave, what is this, the prime minister of the empire where the sun never sets, he has no gas at all, no, I have to write an article to scold him when I go back, otherwise I will always feel uncomfortable! ”

Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang was a little worried: "The president's speech just now was completely with Lloyd? George said the opposite, this old guy shouldn't stop the meeting in a fit of anger and turn around and meet London, right? ”

Yang Shiqi pointed at Lu Zhengxiang and said with a smile: "Chief Lu, you are still too cautious, how can you say that our country is now a big country and one of the great powers, we don't have to look at the faces of foreigners everywhere." This meeting of the heads of state was initiated by the British, and if they all pick their sons and leave, there is no need to fight this battle, we will directly make peace with Germany alone, and let Germany kill the British! Don't worry, the British are still sober, they haven't been confused to this point, do you think the British are stupid? On the one hand, they had to deal with the Germans as the main force of the Entente against the Allies, and on the other hand, they had to maintain the loose organization of the Entente. The British will not leave, the events of the past two days are just a negotiation strategy made by the British, in order to make us compromise and fight for their own best interests! ”。 (To be continued......)
