The asymmetry in obtaining information has led to great errors in the formulation of China's current strength and determination and the direction of war in Western countries. One of them is the ability to participate in the Great War in Europe.

The generous sale of four battleships, the Chinese navy's round-the-world visit, and the heavy blow to the Russian Far Eastern forces in the winter, pushed thousands of miles into Siberia. and so on, creating a picture of "China already has a powerful and amazing naval and land force", and it is very likely to become a fanatical enterprising person who will do whatever it takes to fight.

There is a population, a territory, an industrial capacity, a military strength, a determination to wage war, a means to win, and the preparation to govern and digest the newly acquired territory. All these conditions indicate that China will inevitably become the hegemon of Asia and the Pacific.

Under such circumstances, the colonies and interests of the European powers in Asia and even in the Indian Ocean will face an unavoidable threat. If they choose to regard China as an enemy, then China will unceremoniously take advantage of the chaos in Europe to drive out their colonial forces and seize those colonies.

After you get your hands on it, can you digest it well? If you look at Japan and Luzon, with the current capabilities of the Chinese government, that is really not a big deal.

Britain and France were quite jealous of this, and they were exhausted from dealing with the aggressive German threat, and did not dare to risk fighting on two fronts. On the other hand, the only way to do this is to use other forces to balance or even contain China's military threat.

Based on this, holding down the Russians became one of the important options.

But Britain, France and other countries did not know. In fact, China is not capable of continuing to move westward, and if the front line of the war is really set in Novosibirsk, the cost and efficiency of transshipment will become a huge obstacle to restricting combat effectiveness.

And in this regard. Now China is clearly not ready. The Trans-Siberian Railway, built by the Russians, was far from enough to support consumption on that scale. China's precious resources and strength should not be expended on that either. In the event of a long-term confrontation between Russia and China, both countries will continue to lose blood, and eventually run out of energy, allowing the great powers to take advantage of it in vain.

The Russians actually know this. It's just that Nicholas II couldn't swallow that breath, refused to admit defeat, and gritted his teeth to hold on.

Now. Because of the huge defeat in the Far East War, the image and credibility of his "little father" have plummeted in Russia. The war-induced economy was on the verge of collapse, and the country's finances were depleted. Production was in chaos. Domestic supplies are severely strained, and severe famine is spreading rapidly in both urban and rural areas.

The revolutionary forces, which had been expelled and exiled, began to resurgence in large numbers, and actively launched propaganda and campaigns against Tsarist rule, which was so violent that it was very worrying that it would not be able to be quelled.

It can be said that it has reached this point. Both Tsarist Russia and China have reached a limit in their ability to fight in the Far East. China doesn't know how much it will cost or time just to digest the territory it has acquired, and in fact it doesn't want to fight it -- or would it ask for peace talks all day long?

The Russians really can't hold it anymore. If the battle continues, it is very likely that there will be an exaggerated scene of soldiers going to the front line with spears and bayonets in their clothes. Under the conditions of modern warfare, there is no reciprocal weaponry, and basically sending troops up is equivalent to giving people heads.

The Anglo-French "mediation" finally gave Nicholas II an excuse to go down the slope, but in return, he had to continue to mobilize heavy forces in the European direction and make a threatening posture to the German side.

However, in the next negotiations with China, no progress can be made for a moment. The differences between the two sides are simply irreconcilable. China will never give up the huge territory it has already acquired, but Russia does not want to see the territory that has been painstakingly expanded for hundreds of years be wiped out in one day, and it will not be able to account for it from above and below.

This leaves the hidden danger of the two countries continuing to go to war, but it is also the result that Britain and France and other countries are happy to see.

In any case, China's use of military forces in the north has come to an end, and on the surface it seems to be concentrating on "tearing up" quarrels and carrying out a reform that seems likely to bring down the state system.

In the eyes of Westerners, this is purely fed.

The whole world is ruled by the aristocracy and landlords and capitalists, and the lower classes of the people indifferently share a little bit of interests and live without dignity. As a country ruled by an emperor with a history of thousands of years, you suddenly engaged in that kind of thing that is impossible to achieve? Could it be that we have been fooled by the so-called "communism" that is running around in Europe?

If that's the case, it's great. The Western powers would be more than happy to see a China that had collapsed from its own internal strife at the beginning of its life. When we are done fighting, we can turn back and stab ourselves on our dying fat bodies, what a pleasure it is.

But in reality? At a time when the outside world was in a noisy uproar, Senior State Yang gathered the leaders of the whole army across the country to launch a far-reaching conference on deepening military reform.

Theater of Operations.

When the participants saw the brochure distributed, they were immediately stabbed by the shocking big characters of the catalog. Judging from the literal meaning alone, we know that this will certainly be an important change that will determine the pattern of China's entire military system and the trend of military construction in the future.

Later, in the detailed rules, the military officers also saw the corresponding content, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm, and they almost jumped up with excitement on the spot.

Their worst fears did not arise. The Great Führer is not satisfied with the current achievements, the tasks and missions undertaken by the military are far from the limit, and their long-term goal is the whole world!

No matter what they say about maintaining world peace, they must be belligerent in their bones. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to put on that uniform. Therefore, soldiers in peacetime are the most helpless and sorrowful, not only do they train all day but are useless, but they also have to endure the suppression, criticism, and accusations of the unreasonable common people and the ill-intentioned civilian forces.

And during the war years. They are able to give full play to their great power and show their value to the whole world.

It turned out that many people thought that after the armistice with the Russian peace talks. In the future, it may be another decade-long Ma Fang Nanshan, after all, it is difficult for China to send troops to participate in the European war. Some troops who have not yet taken their turn to go into battle feel very depressed, watching other people's meritorious service upgrade and their own families standing still, what is going on?

Now they are all relieved to see the big plan for military change. There will be more than just wars in the future. Even if they are disciples and grandchildren, I'm afraid they don't want to stop.

With this foreshadowing, when the Grand Führer walked into the conference hall. All the generals stood up one after another and responded with warm applause and cheers.

The Grand Führer smiled and nodded, and after everyone was seated, he opened his mouth and went straight to the topic: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Sima Fa said. Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish; Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Suffice it to say. Our ancestors knew very well thousands of years ago that war is always inevitable. We must never slack off in our preparations for military struggle. Any attempt to eradicate war, or to delude oneself into believing that it will not be harmed by war, will inevitably lead to the destruction of the nation and the nation. I think that the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years is enough to illustrate this unbreakable fact. Existence like truth. ”

Just one paragraph made the generals in the audience hold their breath. They all know that this means that China will always regard preparations for military struggle as an established national policy, and there will never be any possibility of slackening armaments.

Since ancient times, how many times have all dynasties and dynasties been because of the whitewashing of the peace of the literati and bureaucrats, the reduction of armaments under the pretext that there is no external threat, the snatching of military power under the guise of rudeness and ignorance of the soldiers, and the casual use of civil and military uniformity, which eventually led to the defeat of the country and the slaughter and destruction of the people? The examples are endless.

Since the founding of the new China, the head of state has always resolutely placed military construction in the first and most important position, and no matter how opposed by the government bureaucrats, the annual increase in military spending has unswervingly followed the increase in fiscal revenue. And the military-related industrial, commercial, agricultural and other economies have also resolutely resisted the erosion of local forces, and cut off all the claws that try to reach in and snatch without mercy.

But that alone is not enough, and the military has been fearing that once there is peace on the outside and growing opposition to the military at home, it could repeat the mistakes of the past and turn them into the mud again. Of course, the military people were not reconciled to this, and many even had a fierce idea of simply supporting the grand führer to establish a military government.

This kind of contradiction and conflict has been accumulating for a long time, and sooner or later things will come to an end.

The Great Führer was obviously well aware of the drawbacks, and he single-handedly stirred up a struggle in the ideological field, involving the literati forces of the whole country, making a lot of noise and beating dogs' brains.

Turning his head, he immediately launched a military change, and it was positive.

Under the gaze of thousands of scorching eyes, the voice of the Great Führer was flat, but it was loud, pouring into everyone's ears, like spring thunder vibrating.

"Today's world has entered an unprecedented stage of fierce military struggle. the colonial wars of the traditional powers; the struggle for global hegemony for imperialism; the insurrectionary struggle of the oppressed and enslaved peoples of the colonies for their independence; proxy wars for great powers vying for world dominance; camp conflicts caused by different ideologies; the war for energy and resources caused by the Industrial Revolution; New religious wars that broke out in backward regions after economic development had reached a considerable level; Even the terrorist attacks and counter-terrorism operations triggered by the above two will become full-scale or local crisis conflicts that will last for at least 100 years. ”

"And so on, which country and nation can be exempted from this by secluding themselves and staying out of the matter. Today's world has become a whole, and as long as we live on Earth, war, is inevitable. ”

He said so many war issues in one breath, and spent a hundred years of time in one shot, which made the heads of everyone present dizzy.

The Hundred Years' War is still spreading all over the world, so do you still have to worry about having no war to fight? Don't say anything, just listen to the Führer continue to fool around.

"Since the Ming Dynasty, China has lost the possibility of seclusion. The Opium War and the 50 years of humiliation that followed in ignoring the expansion of the world war for hundreds of years should be deeply remembered by the people present and throughout the country, and do their utmost to avoid a recurrence. Therefore, from the very beginning, our military and national defense construction should focus on the whole world, not on a corner of Asia. ”

"At present, the threats facing our country are almost all-encompassing. At sea, we will have irreconcilable contradictions with the United States in the Pacific, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and other countries in the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean region. In particular, the global national protection policy developed by our country means that we must not be allowed to impose discriminatory policies such as the 'Chinese Exclusion Act'. Wherever there is unfair treatment of the Chinese, there should be the protection of our soldiers. ”

"Wow!" Warm applause shook the audience.

Today's Chinese people's morale is also high, and the arrogance of the Chinese kingdom inevitably grows, and it is becoming more and more unbearable for the discrimination and bullying of the barbarians of the foreign powers. The United States has openly introduced the "Chinese Exclusion Act," which has aroused strong indignation, and many young people have demanded that the state take measures against the United States to repeal this discrimination bill.

Diplomatic efforts have been made, but the Americans have not paid any attention to them, believing that China cannot do anything with them in the vast Pacific Ocean.

After last year's Navy's global visit, there was a fierce debate in the United States, but there is still no explanation. The Chinese side didn't say much more, and it didn't make sense, so everyone would just get to the bottom of it.

Some people have already seen that the Great Führer is likely to use this as an excuse to launch an attack on the West Coast of the United States. The Pacific Ocean is too small to accommodate two great powers. North America is isolated and powerful overseas, which is not in China's long-term interests.

Today, at the meeting, it was mentioned again at this time, which is very likely to indicate that the Sino-US maritime confrontation will be included in the first phase of the war, and the navy has not moved for ten years, and this will be a good opportunity to roar again!

The Führer then spoke: "On land, our neighbours with Russia, the most populous and the most promising in Europe, inevitably become a major threat to the containment of considerable military power. While we are currently working to reduce the threat by half, we should not take it lightly. To this end, we must not only continue to strengthen the construction of resettlement in the border areas, but also make preparations for the next war in order to thoroughly demarcate the territory that is favorable to us. ”

The generals of the Northern Legion suddenly settled down, they had a job to do, and they didn't have to worry about taking a back seat.

"In the southwest, we are faced with an extremely complex environment of British and French colonies, although it is an area of traditional Chinese cultural influence, but because of the terrain, ethnicity, religion and other issues are extremely complex, it is difficult to govern and reconcile. In particular, they border our mainland by land, and in their treatment of Japan, Korea, and Luzon must not be the same as Japan, Korea, and Luzon, but should be treated more severely and decisively. In particular, Southeast Asia and the South China region have indispensable strategic resources for our country, and there is such a strategic point as the Strait of Malacca. ”

"And finally, Central Asia. The birthplace of world civilization will also be the source of all future disputes. (To be continued.) )
