Chapter 447: The Problem of Poison Gas

The Russian army's appearance on Luzon Island made the countries a little dumbfounded, no one thought that this army, which had fought a bloody war against Japan back then, would be so degraded so strictly, to say that they couldn't beat the German army, it was normal, but even the monkeys couldn't beat it was simply speechless.

In fact, if you think of the life of the slave owners of the Russian army on Luzon, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs, especially the Russian troops stationed in those concentration camps, not to mention the officers, even ordinary soldiers must have monkey servants to serve, live a good life of clothes to reach out for food and open their mouths, and go out to hunt when they need recreation, and they are happy to see which monkey woman directly broke into her home to spread the seeds of civilization to her, such an army In the eyes of Emperor Yang, it is already rare for them to be able to hold a rifle.

This is the so-called born in sorrow and died in peace, and years of happy life have turned a former polar bear into a clumsy sheep.

Besides, their enemies are not easy to deal with, what's wrong with the monkeys, the monkeys are also very scary when they are armed, giving the monkeys a submachine gun can still kill a bunch of people, especially a group of monkeys who have been tortured by hatred for almost ten years, and once finally got vent, fortunately, the Russians also have their advantages, and the good thing such as gas bombs has reappeared on the battlefield in Luzon.

Although Emperor Yang, as the initiator of the Beijing Convention, also expressed some concern about this, it is understandable considering that the Russians did not use poison gas on regular battlefields, but used it to quell rebellions, and it was not within the limits of the Convention.

"Prepare me another 500 tons of gas bombs." Her Majesty the Empress of Russia said to Yang Feng.

"You're going to smoke all those monkeys to death! When all the people are dead, who will cut the rubber for you? Yang Feng was taken aback by her, five hundred tons of mustard gas cannonballs, this is the rhythm of preparing to smoke Luzon Island into a no-man's land!

"There is only one way to deal with such disobedient slaves, kill, kill so that they will never dare to resist again." Her Majesty said viciously: "Isn't it easy to find someone who cuts rubber? There are some poor ghosts in Japan who can't eat, and they just hire hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”

Nowadays, the Japanese are indeed becoming the most popular coolies in Europe. After the outbreak of the war, both the Entente and the Central Powers found that it was a good choice to hire coolies from Japan to dig trenches on the front line, these guys ate less and worked much more obediently, and more importantly, the cost was low, and it was not a big deal to die, and the death compensation given to the Japanese laborers was definitely much lower than that for their own domestic soldiers, even if they didn't give it, it didn't matter.

A large number of Japanese laborers were being fooled by the European merchants who were hiring. Just like the Chinese workers and pig traders back then, they embarked on their European journey one by one, and of course how many of them made it back alive is unknown.

For this kind of thing, the Japanese government is taking encouraging measures, and the population pressure is also overwhelming them, originally in history Japan could rely on foreign plundering to support, but now where are they plundering?

Since Her Majesty the Empress asked, Emperor Yang naturally wanted to meet it, anyway, he had some mustard gas shells in stock. Not to mention 500 tons, it is easy to ask for 5,000 tons, and he is still a little regretful about this kind of thing. It was done too early, and now it is impossible to see that the Europeans smoke each other with poison gas bombs.

But what if they get another kind of poison gas outside the Beijing Convention? At present, the convention only prohibits the use of mustard gas and phosgene, and does not restrict other types of gas, and of course there are no other types of gas. Of course, it is definitely not okay to use shasa for them, this thing is for Chinese soldiers, and it doesn't matter if Louis is angry.

"Alexandra. Are you interested in changing to a poison gas, a poison gas that is not within the limits of the Beijing Convention. Thinking of this, Yang Feng said sinisterly.

Her Majesty's eyes lit up suddenly, and it was not within the limits of the Beijing Convention, which meant that it could also be used on the European battlefield with confidence, which was undoubtedly very good news for the Russian army, which was currently in a poor situation.

"Absolutely." She said with a seductive smile: "But you can't sell this kind of thing to the Germans again." ”

She knows very well what Yang Feng is, selling it to herself here, and selling it to William there, he will definitely not have any pressure to do this kind of thing.

"Then you'll have to pay an additional fee." Yang Feng said with a smile, even if you don't sell Lewis gas to William, you can sell other things, such as diphenylcyanidyne arsine and the like, this thing was originally invented by the Germans during World War I, and it is easy to produce with the current German technical level, besides, if the Russians really want to use Lewis gas on the battlefield, it is equivalent to opening a Pandora's box, and it is impossible for the Germans to abide by the Beijing Convention, and the amount of mustard gas stored by William is probably more than that of China.

If he provokes him very much, won't he use mustard gas to retaliate? In this way, the Beijing Convention will become waste paper, and the poison gas smoke he is most looking forward to can become a reality.

As for the production of Lewis gas, this is very simple, it is nothing more than reopening the poison gas factory that he has sealed, this kind of thing is already in the production list, and the effect of simply using mustard gas in cold areas in winter will be much worse, and it must be mixed with Lewis gas or nitrogen mustard, so Yang Feng's poison gas factory also has a production line for these things, but it is closed because there is no place to sell it.

From Romania to France, nearly 10 million soldiers from all over the world are struggling in blood and fire, waiting for their fate as their dead companions as they rot in the dirt.

The generals were trying to use their means to drive them to attack again and again, and then retreat, attack, and retreat again, while all kinds of new weapons began to be put into the battlefield, the bombardment of small airships became more and more frequent, air combat was becoming commonplace, and the pilots who operated rudimentary fighter jets made of wood and canvas were constantly smearing the blue sky with blood.

The extension of the battlefield to the sky has also highlighted the problem of air defense on the ground, and the anti-aircraft artillery has been officially unveiled, in fact, this thing has been there for a long time, but it was used to hit balloons at that time, but now it can be regarded as a real anti-aircraft artillery.

The Germans were getting bigger and bigger, as can be seen from the number of bulldozers they imported, while Britain and France also began to modify their own tanks, and Yang Feng was desperately producing them at all factories in China, Sweden, and the Confederation to meet their needs.

Special anti-aircraft guns also appeared on the battlefield, the German armored forces suffered heavy losses in the attack on Verdun, and hundreds of combat vehicles were destroyed by the two-five-millimeter anti-aircraft guns that the French had just equipped, which also forced the Germans to begin to rebuild this kind of combat vehicles that were very rudimentary in terms of firepower and armor, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the real tanks appeared on the battlefield.

However, compared to these new weapons, super-large caliber cannons are still the favorite of commanders of various countries, Krupp, Skoda, Armstrong, Schneider's arsenals, a different caliber cannon is desperately in production, because of the quality, all parties coincidentally import a large number of high-performance steel from the steel mills under the Yang consortium, shipload after ship of steel from China, Sweden, the Confederacy ports and then sent to the warring countries, and then tons of gold to the treasury of the People's Bank.

The naval battlefield is still mainly in the Mediterranean, after the defeat in the first battle of the Otranto Strait, the British and French fleets have not made much action for the time being, after all, it will take a little time for the five Lone class to repair, but inspired by the Austro-Hungarian submarine sinking the France, the French also dispatched their own submarines to sneak attack the four combined forces class, but unfortunately the four submarines dispatched did not wait to get closer, they were already discovered by the opponent's hydrophones, and then the destroyer protecting the battleship rushed over and threw a burst of depth charges.

In the end, the French stole the chickens and rice, two of the four small submarines were sunk, and the remaining two fled in a hurry, one of which rushed to the Ottoman coast in a panic and ran aground, which caused many protests from the Ottoman Empire.

Fortunately, at this time, the British pulled them again, and the Royal Navy transferred four London-class battleships to join the Mediterranean Fleet, so that the number of perfect battleships used by the two countries for operations in the Adriatic Sea reached nine, more than twice the strength, and in the eyes of Britain and France, it should be enough to smash the defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Navy.

Compared with the original historical World War, the situation of the Royal Navy at this time is much calmer, because it no longer needs to deal with the German Navy alone, in the Baltic Sea, there are also eight perfect battleships owned by the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy! What's more, the widening of the Kiel Canal is not yet complete, and although the work has been underway three years ago and a lot of new construction machinery has been used, it will take at least another year to complete.

In this way, the German navy had to deal with two enemies at the same time, like their land forces, and at the moment the number of German perfect battleships was eighteen and the British twenty-four, and Wilhelm had to divide his already inferior fleet into two locations, with six ships at the port of Kiel to guard the Russian Baltic Fleet, and the remaining twelve ships concentrated in Wilhelmshaven to prevent the British fleet from attacking Germany.

As for the sortie and the decisive battle with the British Navy, neither William nor Tirpitz had such a plan until the next batch of twelve German battleships joined the fleet. (To be continued......)
