"Modern warfare is a contest of a country's overall strength, and one or two advanced weapons cannot determine the outcome of a war. Tsarist Russia is a good example, from the outbreak of the European war to now two years now, Britain, France, Germany and Austria and other countries although the loss is not small, but can also barely support, but Tsarist Russia has reached the verge of collapse, the reason is because the comprehensive strength of Tsarist Russia is not good. Ren Chao said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, do you think we should accede to Germany's request to send troops to Europe?" Yang Jichang asked respectfully.

"Judging from the current situation in the European battlefield, the two major blocs of the Entente and the Central Powers, like two evenly matched Hercules, both want to bring down the place, but neither can bring down the other party, if there is no external intervention to break this stalemate, then it can only be seen who consumes the last trace of strength first, then who will be defeated!" Ren Chao said with a helpless sigh.

"Not bad! It can be seen from the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme that the European theater has entered a phase of stalemate, which will be a long-term war of attrition, as His Majesty said, if there is no external interference, it will depend on who can hold out to the end! Yang Jichang nodded and said approvingly.

"But if our Chinese Empire is thrown into the European theater, we will be able to quickly break this stalemate and quickly defeat the Entente bloc led by Britain and France." Zhou Tai said excitedly.

"You can't help but be too optimistic, don't forget that it's not just our Huaxia Empire that can break this deadlock." Ren Chao smiled and shook his head and said.

"What does 陛xià mean the United States?" Yang Jichang guessed that although he already had a certain understanding of Lao Mei's strength, Huaxia never took Lao Mei as a potential opponent too seriously, after all, with the strength of the Chinese Empire at this time, even the British Empire in its heyday may not be the opponent of the Chinese Empire, let alone the United States! But now it is said that in addition to the Chinese Empire, the only one that can break the European deadlock is the United States, because there is only one United States among the world's major powers that has not yet entered the war!

"Yes, the president of the United States is currently trying to persuade Congress to enter the war. It is estimated that it will not be long before the US Congress passes a proposal to enter the war, so that the war will be further expanded. Ren Chao said, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. The further expansion of the scale of the war is a severe challenge for other countries, but it is a rare opportunity for China. Because at this time, the Chinese Empire was so strong that it was not afraid of any enemy. The right to declare war in the United States is not in the hands of the president, but in the hands of Congress, so if the United States wants to enter the war, the president must agree with Congress, but at this time American isolationism prevailed. So the European war broke out for so long, but the United States has not entered the war for a reason. Of course, on the other hand, the United States also has the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

"Since this is the case, then our Chinese Empire should do its best to participate in the European war in order to seize the opportunity." Yang Jichang frowned and said with a cautious expression.

"Hmmm! I decided to transfer 600,000 elite troops from the Korean and Japanese servant armies to form the Western Expeditionary Army, with Zhao Bin as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army. Lead an army of 1.6 million to the west, conquer the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula, and then march into the European theater as appropriate. Ren Chao nodded and said.

"Your Majesty!" The generals responded in unison.

"As the war expands, we need more troops on the battlefield. Therefore, I decided to draw young men from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma to form a servant army of about 1.5 million troops. The matter was then entrusted to Lieutenant General Liu Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army. Ren Chao continued.

"Commandment!" Yang Jichang and others responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the king of Nepal requested that 20,000 Nepalese troops be sent to assist the heavenly soldiers in the battle." Zhou Tai played respectfully.

"Nepal? The Gurkha mercenaries were disciplined and brave in battle, and were a rare elite army. It is possible to grant their requests. Ren Chao said with a smile. Nepal was known as Gurkha in ancient times, and Gurkha mercenaries were one of the world's famous foreign mercenary groups in later generations. Known for his discipline and bravery, he was loyal to his employers. The Gurkha are a mountainous ethnic group in Nepal, not tall in stature, but strong, hard-working, brave and good at fighting. 80% of Nepal is mountainous, and the Gurkha people have walked on bumpy mountain roads since childhood, and have developed a pair of "iron feet". They have a strong personality and a strong body, and are especially good at mountain warfare and close combat. They were particularly fond of wearing the "Gogoli scimitar", which was said to be bloodied when drawn and became a signature piece of equipment for Gurkha mercenaries.

Since Nepal's invasion of Tibet was defeated by the Qing army during the Qianlong period, Nepal has become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and has been loyal for more than 200 years since then. When a small number of British colonists invaded the Gurkha and were defeated, the Gurkha surrendered the captured British armaments to Beijing to ask the Qing court for credit, but due to the different translations of the British name, when the Gurkha reported it, the Qing court thought it was an unknown small country on the southern border, and only praised a few words and did not pay attention to it. When the Taiping Rebellion broke out, the Gurkha king once wrote to the Qing government, offering to send troops into China to help the Qing soldiers quell the thieves, but the Qing government did not reply due to face problems. Later, although Nepal became a British protectorate and the Qing Dynasty gradually declined, Nepal and the Qing Dynasty always maintained a suzerain-vassal relationship, and it was the last vassal state in China, which shows the great influence of China on Nepal.

And now Nepal has once again become a vassal country of China, and the Chinese Empire is a hundred times stronger than the original Qing Dynasty, Nepal will naturally be loyal to China, so Ren Chao is not worried about Nepal's loyalty at all. Now Nepal has offered to send troops to assist Huaxia, and Ren Supernatural can't ask for it.

"Your Majesty, the Minister's Decree!" Zhou Tai responded respectfully.

Ren Chao raised his hand and glanced at the gold watch on his wrist, and said casually, "It's not too early, if there is nothing else, let's stop here today!" Zhu Qing works hard for state affairs all day long, and it is really hard, and Zhu Qing must also take good care of his health. ”

"Thank you to the emperor for your concern, it is the duty of the ministers to serve the country. However, His Majesty is the king of a country, the body of ten thousand gold, only the health of the dragon can ensure that my Chinese Empire will be eternal and prosperous! Yang Jichang and other ministers said respectfully. (To be continued......)
