For the first time in a series of battles known in later history as the Battle of the Windward Islands, the Anglo-Russian fleet blocked the Argentine fleet with huge casualties, protected the logistics supply lines of the more than 100,000 allied forces in Colombia, and they lost four battleships, three sunk and one destroyed, as well as four protective cruisers, two light cruisers, twelve destroyers, and twenty torpedo boats.

However, the results can also be said to be very satisfactory, they sank a battleship of the Argentine Navy, severely damaged a heavy cruiser, as well as a light cruiser and three destroyers, and the most regrettable thing is that they did not sink the Rivadavia, although the Swedish battleship was torpedoed, but it is clear that the two million pounds paid by the Argentines for it was worth the money, and it was only the internal shock loss caused by some explosions, which did not affect its combat effectiveness in the slightest.

After the defeat in the naval battle, the battleship landed with the remaining Argentine ships and captured the British colony of Trinidad, a small island with no British garrison, only a small number of colonial officers and police, and the main city was Port of Spain, which the Argentines captured with little fighting. But it was a natural harbor that was perfect for them to call at temporarily, and after raising the banner of helping the local Indians and, they quickly completed their control of the place, and then began repairing their warships with the help of the Venezuelans on the other side.

Because the same capital ships were all wounded, and the British and Russian fleets were unable to take the initiative to attack this fleet hiding in Port of Spain, the two sides licked their wounds while staring at each other cautiously.

This result made Emperor Yang very satisfied, as long as the supply of the British and Russian armies in Colombia was unimpeded, the war there could continue, and as the war dragged on, more and more South American countries would be involved in the war for their own interests, and wait for the victory of the Allies in the European battlefield. Those like Chile and Brazil, who are still on the sidelines, will not be able to hold back any longer.

Yes, in Yang Feng's plan, the next step was to win the Entente, and it was a brilliant victory, to make their armies march towards Berlin, towards Vienna, and then break their backbones with a stick in their most glorious Gaochao, only in this way could the best effect be achieved. So far, Germany has not been ravaged by war, and this is clearly not going to work. It was necessary to groan under fire in Germany and Austria, and to the brink of death of Emperor Wilhelm and Joseph, that Emperor Young could appear before them with the pride of charity.

In this way, the Allied powers, who had found hope, desperately insisted on fighting, waiting for reinforcements from China to fight back, while the Entente were reluctant to give up in the face of the victory that had already beckoned, and they would also attack desperately in order to solve the enemy in Europe as quickly as possible, and then withdraw to deal with the enemy in Asia. This is important. What Yang Feng wants them to fight is that only after China enters the war, the Entente still insists on fighting can they be opened up to purge these ghosts, if China enters the war. The Entente immediately surrendered to the peace talks, so how could this goal be accomplished?

In the final analysis, Emperor Yang's goal was not to make the Europeans submit, on the contrary, he wanted them not to submit, only to them not to submit. Only then can he kill with confidence, and it doesn't mean anything to him to give in, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Today, after giving in to twenty years and getting up again, this kind of thing must be avoided, and halving the population of Europe is the simplest, most thorough and effective way to control this continent, and they themselves can't achieve the goal of bleeding each other, then the Chinese will help them bleed, and if not, release the good things he made on Dumaran Island.

But now it will take some time, Nikolai has been persuaded by Britain and France, decided to expand the army by another two million before launching the final decisive battle, so that it will be at least until the autumn, after all, he can't just carry out two million gray cattle, and then stuff a rifle to go to the battlefield, it must go through several months of training, and it will take a long time to arm such a huge army, even if China's industrial scale is huge, it will not be a moment or a half to do this, What's more, at this time, China itself is also in the midst of a major military expansion.

Of course, China's military expansion is not the three million announced to the outside world, this military is enough for the strategic reserves in the logistics warehouse, and Yang Feng's real army expansion is 10 million.

Although this figure seems exaggerated, it is not exaggerated at all, a huge empire with a population of more than 500 million, 10 million army is really not much, once the war starts, China will have to deal with multiple battlefields, first of all, the war against Russia, the Far East and Central Asia must use at least 3 million army. Although the Russian army is basically in the European theater now, and the total number of land forces east of the Ural Mountains does not exceed 300,000, it can basically be said that there is no defense, but after all, it is a huge depth of more than 5,000 kilometers, and these fighting nations are easy to use all the people when they need it, and if you want to control such a huge theater of operations, don't count on it without three million people.

If you want to hit Moscow, I'm afraid you have to double it again, but in Emperor Yang's strategy, he is not ready to destroy Russia at the initial stage, he only needs to take the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the part east of the Caspian Sea, as for the Russian problem, this needs to be solved by Comrade Vladimir. Give them a pie, for example, support them to overthrow the tsar and give them enough help, these people will solve the follow-up work, and when they solve everything, then Emperor Yang will shout the slogan of not letting the flag of any monarch in Europe fall and push the Vladimirs, as for the future, it is nothing more than raising a little puppet.

In addition, there are Southeast Asian battlefields and Indian battlefields, these places are different from Europe, and Europe and America can take other ways to control them in the future, but these places must be directly turned into Chinese territory, so they must face the resistance of monkeys and Ah San, and if you want to control these lands, you must have at least three million people, and unlike simple warfare, these places must be occupied.

Especially after the occupation, some more cruel means have to be taken, Emperor Yang is not a bodhisattva, he is not interested in engaging in those small tricks such as Huairou, these things have no meaning, not my race, his heart must be different, he is to be a colonist, not the liberator of those inferior nations, purge is the most effective means, so it is difficult to avoid the problem of resistance, so a large-scale garrison is necessary.

Tens of millions of square kilometers of land, three million troops to control zhì is not much, the rest is a matter of large-scale immigration.

In addition, it is necessary to send 500,000 to the European battlefield to cheer up William and Joseph, in case they can't withstand the pressure of the Entente and are destroyed, it will be troublesome for Britain, France and Russia to get out of the nearly 10 million army, so even if China sends troops to Europe, they must be able to withstand it, so that plus Hamid II and Persia's men and horses, this is almost enough, these two can still make up at least two million armies, especially Hamid II, this time has long been impatient.

Emperor Yang's original design was to let the Allies and his little brothers in Europe drag down the Allied army, and then he slowly grabbed the territory in the distance, and when he grabbed the territory, at that time both sides were dying, look at the heat is about the same, and scatter those prepared treasures to Europe, regardless of the Allies or the Entente, including his own little brothers, and when they are almost dead, Emperor Yang will bring medicine to the scene with a holy halo.

In addition, it is necessary to set aside a million to guard against the Americans, although at this time the United States has been beaten down, and Brian and the farmers behind him are quite content with the status quo, but it always hurts to be careful, the reason why the big capitalists in the United States have died down in recent times is largely because their behind-the-scenes bosses, the British consortium, do not want to provoke Yang Feng at this time. After all, compared with the interests of the United States, Yang Feng's position in the war is more important, and the current political struggle in the United States is, in the final analysis, the struggle between Brian and the farmers supported by Yang Feng and the industrial capitalists supported by the British consortium.

But China's entry into the war with the Allies means that the two sides have completely broken up, and the British, who have endured it for a long time, must have encouraged those capitalists to rise up and make trouble for Yang Feng in the Americas, and at that time, for the Entente, pulling the United States into the war is already the only way to solve the dilemma, so Yang Feng must prepare in advance for a war in North America after the war starts.

Of course, it is enough to deal with the United States with one million army forces, there are still 200,000 Spanish troops, 500,000 Confederate troops, 1 million Mexican troops, and nearly 3 million troops can't contain a single United States, and it is also a United States that cannot work together, Alabama and Georgia have always been eye-to-eye with the Confederacy, and the western states that are mainly agricultural have close relations with China, and I don't know what will happen if they really fight!

As for the remaining more than two million, this is the reserve force left in the country, and there are also some small battlefields to deal with, such as Australia and New Zealand, which together have a population of only a few million, and Theo still has a large number of paramilitary Chinese immigrants, and when the time comes, it will basically push 200,000 people casually.
