Chapter 522: Eight-Nation Alliance

Hu Wei, chief of the General Staff of the Taiwan Army, is reporting to Wang Guorui on various situations, especially the information sent by the General Intelligence Administration, and then summing it up to the General Staff Headquarters, and then formulating an operational plan. As for this time, first of all, Hu Wei would like to introduce the situation of this country. Especially when countries send troops, everyone is starting to listen carefully, not only the military people, but also the government side must be prepared. This is related to Taiwan's plan to enter the mainland, and it must gain a foothold on the mainland so that it can continue to expand. This is the best opportunity, and being able to enter the mainland on the pretext of resisting the invaders is not only a suitable reason, but also a very popular reason. As long as they can defeat the coalition forces of many countries, this will be a very huge help to Taiwan, and it will help them establish enough prestige in the hearts of the people on the mainland.

"At present, we have begun to prepare, according to the information we have investigated, the current coalition of countries is led by the British, a total of eight countries have sent troops. They were Great Britain, Germany, France, the United States, Russia, Japan, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. In this troop dispatch, according to the troop strength of the countries we investigated, although Britain took the lead, it sent very few troops. They all sent no more than a thousand troops, while the others were mainly some old warships, not too advanced warships, or even very few. Hu Wei said.

Hearing that the British sent so few troops, Wang Guorui frowned, how could this Briton be so anticlimactic, shouting for a long time, he actually sent such a small number of troops, only a thousand people. You must know that in the past, Britain sent 10,000 troops in history, but this time it was so little, this is too abnormal.

"The British probably didn't interfere much with our ideas, and at the moment the British were just going to put their energies into the Boer War. Because the British wanted to get their hands on that super gold mine of the Boers, they had no idea of fighting us once in the Far East. Of course, this also has something to do with our strength, our strength here is strong, so on the contrary, the British do not want to start a war with us so early. The British are not stupid, they know that it will certainly not be easy if there is to be a war with us. If we were the Manchu government. Then they don't have to worry too much, and it's no problem to send 10,000 people. However, we are not the Manchu government, so they have great scruples, and naturally they do not dare to send a large army to fight us. ”

"The idea of the British was mostly to conquer the Boers first and then come against us. The British value the Boer gold mines more, so they also want to get the Boer gold mines and then control the world's finances. And although we are threatened, they may think that we will not be able to defeat the invading armies. Because other countries are not weak, they seem to have confidence. ”

Wang Guorui immediately asked: "How many troops did other countries send?" ”

"Austria-Hungary and Italy. It's just that more than 100 troops were dispatched, which can be ignored. However, the Germans sent 500 troops, and the Germans seem to be unable to work, and their 500 people are just what we can stuff between our teeth! Our diplomats were very good at convincing the German Emperor to choose not to work, so that we could ignore the Germans. The Germans did not want to make enemies with us, so naturally they would not choose to send too many troops. And the French sent three thousand troops. It's not too much, and the threat to us is average. So although we should pay attention to it, we don't need to pay too much attention to it. ”

Wang Guorui immediately asked, "What about the remaining three kingdoms?" ”

Hu Wei immediately said solemnly: "The remaining three countries are the most important troop-sending countries." The United States sent 30,000 troops and 25 warships, large and small, and then prepared for war against China. ”

"Why does the United States send so many troops?" Wang Guorui muttered.

Hu Wei immediately explained: "The United States had already formulated a plan to invade the Philippines, but now we have taken the Philippines. Then their plan was miscarried. They want to get other places to replenish back, so they naturally hope to be able to send the most troops, and then get the most benefits in this war. So they sent 30,000 troops as one of the main troop contributors. The ambitions of the Americans are not small, and they want to force us to open the market in China in an all-round way. Let them have enough places to dump and want to colonize us China economically. ”

"Hmph, America, are you the world's policeman in the future? 30,000, 30,000 U.S. Army is about the same as 30,000 pigs in my eyes. Wang Guorui thought.

Of course, Wang Guorui doesn't look down on the U.S. army, because the U.S. Army in this period is called a poor, and they haven't had a war for too long, so they are naturally very poor. Therefore, the training level of 30,000 US troops may not be comparable to that of 3,000 German Army, so Wang Guorui can temporarily ignore the Americans. However, these Americans can bully those ordinary people, and with them, they can completely occupy the territory and then free up the armies of other countries to fight. Therefore, this American is also a person who maintains stability in his territory, and can free up a lot of troops to fight.

"As for the back, that is, Japan. This time, Japan dispatched a total of three divisions, and they formed the Chinese Dispatch Army, which they called the China Dispatch Army. Japan's Chinese Dispatch Force currently consists of the 3rd, 5th, and 7th Divisions. The three missions are currently commanded by Field Marshal Oyamaiwa and Major General Akashi Genjiro, former deputy chief of the Second Department of the Japanese Army's General Staff Headquarters, as chief of staff. Oyama Iwa is a highly decorated veteran of Japan, one of the veterans of the Japanese Army, one of the founders of the Japanese Army in the new era, and a veteran. He was also one of the important executioners of the Lushun Massacre, so he was an important enemy for us. ”

"As for this Akashi Genjiro, he is a rising star in the Japanese Army, since he followed the Japanese army to invade Taiwan a few years ago, and then was captured by us. After he returned to China, he first gained the reuse of the Japanese deputy chief of staff, Kawakami Caoroku, and then because of an intelligence work, he came into the vision of the Japanese emperor. As a result, he was very promoted, and now he is a major general. According to our current information, this Akashi Genjiro is an important person in intelligence, and we don't have much information about his ordinary military talents, but he has heard a lot of important information from us, so we must be on guard. This time, he came to serve as the chief of staff, and according to our speculation, he may have come to gild, and they wanted him to enrich his experience in front-line operations, and then prepare for future promotions. ”

Hearing that Genjiro Akashi was the chief of staff of the Japanese army, Wang Guorui snickered in his heart. With Akashi Motojiro, the super number one traitor, as the chief of staff, not to mention the Japanese army with three divisions, even if the Japanese army with thirty divisions is not too terrible. I'm afraid these three divisions are going to be unlucky this time, who made their chief of staff a traitor? The Japanese could never have dreamed that their chief of staff would be a traitor to the enemy. And this time, maybe he will be able to get a lot of important information, especially Akashi Genjiro can also use his alliance relations to get the movement of the troops of many other countries, and then this will be of great help to the Taiwan war.

Of course, Wang Guorui will never tell his own people about this undercover agent. This Akashi Genjiro is one of the trump cards in Wang Guorui's hand, and he definitely can't tell anyone. At present, only Tanya and Natasha, the two heroes of the Red Police, know that no one else, even Zheng Hong, knows that Genjiro Akashi is his own person. The more people who know about this information, the more likely it is to leak it. Only when he can completely gain an advantage in the future world war can he realize the value of Genjiro Akashi. In the future, Akashi Genjiro will move towards the position of Japan's prime minister, and as long as he can become Japan's prime minister, then the First World War will also take advantage of the opportunity to benefit China through the position of the head of the Japanese government. At that time, the heads of state and officials of the Entente would never have imagined that the heads of government of their allies would be someone else's traitor, and they would not be able to keep any strategic secrets.

"As for the last, that is, the Russians. The Russians sent a large army this time, a total of 150,000 troops to invade us from the north. Their plan was to send a small number of troops to land in Tianjin, and the large number of troops had invaded us from Eastern Siberia for a generation in Liaodong, and their goal was very clear, that is, they were rushing in the direction of our Liaodong. Their purpose is also to invade our Liaodong generation, so that they will inevitably clash with the Japanese side. Because the Japanese are also targeting Liaodong, the Russians and the Japanese may have a certain conflict, and if we use this well, we may be a surprise soldier. ”

And Hu Wei's introduction made everyone understand the composition of the Eight-Nation Alliance, they are dominated by the Russian army, followed by the Japanese army, and then the last is the Americans, and these three countries are the main force of the invading army. And those other countries don't get much attention. However, these three countries are also the countries with the greatest ambitions for China, and their goals are very clear, Japan needs Liaodong, Russia needs Liaodong, Xinjiang, Mongolia and other regions, and then the United States wants China to completely open its market. As for other countries, Germany does not contribute to the work and does not have much interest. And Britain is just to protect its interests, and France is here to make a profit, to see how much it can get, and it will not force too much. In the end, other countries are here to make soy sauce.

"Each of these countries has its own purpose, and we can actually take advantage of it." Wang Guorui thought. (To be continued......)
