Chapter 709: Coercion (1)

After Cai Guodong and Yang Shiqi and others left, there was an immediate uproar in the conference room, and for the Balkan countries, what Yang Shiqi and Cai Guodong did just now was real coercion, coercion without any disguise.

The representatives of the Balkan governments were filled with righteous indignation at Cai Guodong and Yang Shiqi's actions, and almost every representative stood up one after another to express their dissatisfaction with the Chinese army, but Cai Guodong and Yang Shiqi were already gone, and no one listened to their dissatisfaction.

The envoys of Britain, France and the United States knew that the matter was big, and they could see that Cai Guodong and Yang Shiqi were definitely not just acting like they were doing it this time. On the issue of the command of the armies of the countries in the Balkans, the Chinese army has mentioned in the past that it is required that all countries hand over their command for unified command, but the armies of various countries have been put together with great difficulty, so how can they easily hand over their command? Those armies were the guarantor of their newly formed government to maintain their rule, and if the command was in the hands of the Chinese army, who knew what would happen? After all countries refused, the Chinese army did not insist anymore, which is also because the Chinese army did not want to stiffen the relationship so it gave up.

At that time, the current situation was different, the existence of the coalition forces of the Balkan countries dragged the Chinese army back, and it was very serious, which would bring a very serious crisis to the Chinese army, so Cai Guodong must ask for the command of the 1.5 million coalition troops, otherwise this battle could not be fought.

Cai Guodong threatened that if the Balkan countries did not hand over the command of the allied forces, the Chinese troops would withdraw from the European battlefield, which frightened the envoys of Britain, France, and the United States, and now the Chinese army has become the most important military force against the Central Powers led by Germany, if the Chinese army withdraws from the European theater. One can imagine what the consequences will be.

On the Eastern Front, with only the rabble of 1.5 million Balkan coalition troops, could they withstand the frantic counterattack of the German-Austrian army? I am afraid that as long as the Chinese army has just withdrawn from Europe, the 1.5 million Balkan coalition troops will be crushed by the German and Austrian forces. At that time, the battlefield on the Eastern Front was in a state of decay, and the German-Austrian army would move westward after cleaning up the battlefield on the Eastern Front. With the current remnants of Britain, France and the United States, they are simply unable to resist the attack of the powerful German-Austrian army, and this war, which has been fought for four years, has only one ending, and the Entente will be completely defeated!

Realizing this, the envoys of Britain, France, and the United States reported the situation to their respective domestic high-level officials on the one hand, and on the other hand, they jointly asked to meet Yang Shiqi and Cai Guodong, hoping to persuade the two to retract their lives.

In the afternoon of that day, the envoys of Britain, France, and the United States came to Cai Guodong's headquarters, Hagia Sophia, where Yang Shiqi also stayed.

Regarding the request of the envoys of Britain, France and the United States, Yang Shiqi did not refuse. His purpose was to bring Britain, France, and the United States together to exert pressure on the Balkan countries, and of course he would not refuse to meet them.

After the two sides met, Yang Shiqi invited them to sit down and asked, "I don't know what is the important matter for the three ministers to come to meet the contemptible people?" ”

The envoys of Britain, France and the United States couldn't help but slander in their hearts, as long as they were not fools, they would definitely be able to guess the reason why they came here this time, but Yang Shiqi deliberately pretended not to know, which seemed a bit contrived in their eyes, but there was no way, they came this time to persuade Yang Shiqi. Let Yang Shiqi call the country and persuade the domestic high-level to change their attitude.

The three of them glanced at each other, and the American minister said, "Your Excellency, the war has been fought to this extent. Withdrawing halfway through the process is not the proper performance of a responsible power, and in my opinion, it is a manifestation of your country's willfulness to make such a decision. As a high-level decision-maker in a country, you can't be so capricious. We hope that His Excellency the Special Envoy will be able to convince the country to take back his order immediately! ”

Yang Shiqi smoked a cigarette and shook his head after listening to the US minister: "It is not hasty for my country to make such a decision. It is after careful consideration, if the existence of the Balkan coalition forces does not hinder the strategic deployment of our army, we will absolutely not care about them, the key is that the current 1.5 million people not only hinder the strategic deployment of our army, but also drag us back, so that our army is in an extremely dangerous situation, you must know that our country still has more than one million troops in the Balkans, and there are nearly 600,000 people who have landed in Europe one after another, and we cannot hand over the security of the left wing to some rice buckets and wastes who do not know how to fight a war at all. Will you tolerate this happening?

Of course, the three ministers, I am not addressing you three, but the Balkan governments, and they do not want to know who helped them to regain their land from the Germans. Without our army, their country and land would now be trampled under the iron heel of the German-Austrian army! What is the matter with the command of their army? Can't you? Do we want command only for ourselves, not for them? Just because their rice buckets of generals and officers don't know how to fight at all, they only know how to make money, they only know how to preserve their strength, and when they see the Germans and Austria-Hungary, they are scared and pee, counting on them to fight Austria-Hungary and Germany? I think it's harder than getting a sow up a tree! It's a waste and a waste to put those garbage and rice buckets in command of an army of 1.5 million, you know? Three? Don't try or try to convince me, you should find a way to convince them to agree to hand over the command, otherwise this battle will end up for our army! ”

The attitude of Britain, France and the United States towards China is actually very delicate, they do not want China to have too much influence in Europe, and they hope that the countries of the Balkan Peninsula will unite to resist China, but they also hope to defeat Germany and Austria with the help of China's strong military force, and they do not want to fall out with China, especially in the current situation, if they fall out with China, it will be the most unfavorable for them, and the direct victims are Britain and France, and the United States is a little better. After all, it is still far from Germany, but the United States does not want to fall out with China, because the United States is currently largely dependent on China economically.

At this time, the Balkan governments all received telegrams from the delegates, and the high-level governments of various countries knew what was going on.

The next day, the Chinese troops retreated 100 kilometers and stopped, and this situation was soon learned by the Balkan governments and Britain, France, and the United States, and the Balkan governments realized the seriousness of the matter.

First of all, the ministers of Britain, France, and the United States could not hold on, and when the high-level officials of Britain, France, and the United States learned of the news, they immediately instructed the ministers to immediately exert pressure on the Balkan governments to hand over their commands, otherwise they would definitely settle accounts with them after the war.

Whether it is the diplomatic pressure exerted by China or the diplomatic pressure exerted by Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, in the eyes of the high-level governments of the Balkan governments, these are all false, as long as their troops do not fight, there is no big deal, but the actual consequences of the comprehensive withdrawal of the Chinese army 100 kilometers have made the governments of all countries frightened.

In particular, the two countries of Serbia and Romania, currently on the Eastern Front, only these two countries are closest to the Austro-Hungarian and German military defense areas, when the Chinese army retreated 100 kilometers, the Austro-Hungarian army and part of the German army got the news and immediately occupied the areas abandoned by the Chinese army, these areas abandoned by the Chinese army include Serbia and Romania, if the Chinese army retreats another 100 kilometers, these two countries will lose 100 kilometers of land again, Serbia's land area is not large, If another hundred kilometers are lost, the Austro-Hungarian army will approach the capital Belgrade, and the western basin of Romania will again be occupied by the German-Austrian army, which is definitely not what the Serbian and Romanian governments want to see.

Just when the top level of the Serbian government and the top level of the Romanian government were hesitating, the Chinese army retreated another 100 kilometers on the third day, which frightened the two top officials, and until this time, the Serbian government and the Romanian government finally could not hold on, and immediately announced that the command of the army would be handed over to the commander of the Chinese army in the European theater, and that the Chinese army would be fully responsible for the command of any military operation.

After Serbia and Romania handed over the command of their troops, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Algeria and other countries were still lucky, after all, Serbia and Romania stood in the way, and as long as the Chinese troops did not fully withdraw from Europe, the German and Austrian armies would not be able to hit their territory.

In response to this situation, Yang Shiqi had no other way, had to come to Cai Guodong to discuss countermeasures, Cai Guodong has been thinking about this problem for the past two days, but there is a way, but it is easy to be criticized, so he has not implemented it, and now Yang Shiqi came to him, he said his thoughts: "Mr. Yang, at this point, we can no longer compromise with them, we have been friendly with them before, let them kick their noses in the face!" Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister of Germany, once said, 'Truth is only within the range of artillery', which is too good for them, and they are more and more cocking their tails, it seems that we have to be hard this time! ”

After Cai Guodong finished speaking, he became murderous, which made Yang Shiqi's heart tremble, and he hurriedly said, "General Cai, what do you want to do?" ”

Cai Guodong said coldly: "The Balkan Peninsula was fought down by our army, in fact, the current governments of these countries are also supported by us, and now these governments are disobedient, since they are disobedient, what are they still doing?" ”

Yang Shiqi was frightened: "General Cai, what do you mean??????? ”

"Abolish these high-ranking officials of the current government, and then support those who are willing to obey in various countries! I don't believe that there are no people who oppose them in various countries, as long as there are people who are willing to obey, we will support whomever we support, and whoever is disobedient, we will let them step down! ”

Yang Shiqi hesitated: "General Cai, isn't this okay?" Ousting the current governments of so many countries from power will probably have a very bad impact on the international community. ”

Cai Guodong took a puff of cigarette and said: "At least Britain, France, the United States and other members of the Entente will never object, unless they want to be defeated!" ”

"This ??????" (To be continued......)
