For Yang Feng, the most perfect is nothing more than this, otherwise the British huge naval fleet is a disaster after all, even if the Chinese Navy can defeat them in the future, it will inevitably pay a certain price, you must know that the strength of the British is not only the fleet, the kind of combat experience that can be said to be integrated into the blood of the hundred years of maritime hegemony is the real advantage of the British Navy, compared with them, the Chinese Navy, which has developed for a total of 20 years, is also a little tender, and the number of qualified sailors alone cannot be compared.

The current Chinese Navy, to put it bluntly, is like a fast-growing poplar tree, which seems to be tall and leafy, but it is fundamentally different from this old locust tree that has been precipitated over the years, and if you really want to go to the battlefield, can you do it better than others, even Yang Feng has no bottom in his heart, he can despise the US Navy and the French Navy with his weapon superiority, but he cannot despise the British Navy.

Therefore, the safest way is to let Germany, the cannon fodder, take the lead first, and when they are both defeated, the Chinese Navy will easily push behind, and the British Navy will be finished, and this can also solve the German Navy by the way, in the final analysis, this is also the enemy, the future ocean should be the sea of the Chinese, not shared with others.

As for the Russians, to be honest, he really didn't take Nikolai's navy seriously, first of all, the Baltic Fleet will never be able to open, and the second Black Sea Fleet will never be opened, and the two fleets of Germany and Sweden are blocked on one side, and the Bosphorus is blocked on the other, and the two throats are stuck to death.

And now almost all the new battleships of the Russian Navy are in these two fleets, and the new battleships they will build in the future will also be in these two places, because their shipyards are there, and Russia's industrial base is on the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea coast, no matter how much they build, they can only be locked in two bathtubs forever, looking at the map, Yang Feng can't help but feel how justified Nikolai's desire to go to the sea.

In the following time, the bitter cold and wind and snow of winter gradually calmed down the gunfire throughout Europe. Neither the Entente nor the Allies had a decent offensive, of course, skirmishes on both fronts were inevitable, including the complete cessation of the German bombing of London, not only the problem of fighters, but also the difficulty of having suitable weather for airships in such a season.

However, although there was no movement on the battlefield, the rear of the battlefield was all desperately preparing for a big war, and countless young men, inspired by various slogans in their respective countries, of course, may also be under duress, they have put on military uniforms to supplement the army with heavy losses in the early stage, waiting to be the next batch of cannon fodder.

Germany was on the basis of the original eleven army groups. Three new army groups were formed at one time, bringing the total number to fourteen, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire also greatly expanded its army to ten on the basis of the original five army groups, so it can be said that it really had to go all out.

Countless factories are desperately producing and stockpiling all kinds of weapons and ammunition, machine guns, large pao, planes constantly crammed into the hands of soldiers on the front line, ready to bleed each other, especially the chariots that have been regarded as the most effective weapon for breaking through the trenches. It is the top priority of the production of arsenals in various countries, and orders under the banner of bulldozers fly like snowflakes to China, Sweden, and the Confederacy. Fly to all Yangfeng's factories, from the whole vehicle to semi-finished products, and even spare parts, as long as they are produced, they will be sold out immediately.

Others like what an aircraft engine. Aviation aluminum, chemical raw materials, steel machinery. Even canned military uniforms were snapping up, and the capitalists all over China were dividing up the orders of the European powers as if they were participating in a crazy feast.

In addition to the preparations for the great war, the diplomatic courtship of the neutral countries, especially Italy, was also being carried out with great efforts, and with the unfavorable situation of the Entente bloc, the importance of the stunned became more and more prominent, and even on the surface, the country already had the position to influence the situation of the war.

If Italy joined the Entente, and then their nearly a million army troops fought in the Alps, then Austria-Hungary seemed to have only one way out: surrender or death, and once Austria-Hungary was finished, Germany would not be able to support itself, no matter how strong it was. If Italy joins the German-Austrian gang, then their million-strong army will all be killed from the flank to France, and France, which has been doing its best on the Marne front, will also have no ability to stop them, and then France's surrender or demise is also absolute, once this is the case, then the British on the Western Front will definitely be unable to support themselves, and if the Western Front loses, the Entente will be completely lost.

Therefore, whether it is for the Entente or the Central Powers, Italy seems to have the energy to decide their life and death, it is estimated that at this time, no one in the whole world can know as clearly as Emperor Yang that the Italians will be so strange in the war, the battle of Caporetto 30,000 dead and wounded and 260,000 captured such a powerful record, I am afraid that the Italian army in World War II can be refreshed.

But strange is wonderful, and it always makes people feel a little regretful to always watch such a European power wander outside the war, so during this time, Yang Feng has been thinking about how to get Italy into the war.

It should be said that this goal is not easy to achieve, since the beginning of the war, whether the Entente or the Central Powers, the efforts that can be done have been done, so far there is no clear result, originally in history they participated in the war, because they saw that the Russian army was about to fight the Carpathians, so they were worried that once they missed the opportunity, they would not be qualified to carve up Austria-Hungary if they participated in the war again, so they hurriedly entered the war, but now Germany and Austria are beating according to the Russians, Italy may not have enough courage to take this risk.

But because of this, if they defected to the Entente, it seemed more like a charcoal in the snow, and as for Italy's fall to the Allies, Yang Feng felt that it was better not to harm William.

"How much is the British and French asking price now?" He asked Zhang Quan.

"Tyrol, Istria, Trieste, Dalmatia, and now Trantino, anyway, Britain and France are generous, they are all cut from Austria-Hungary, although it seems like a lot, but in the eyes of the Italians, these places must be like a bag after they enter the war, so they can't really make them tempted. In fact, what they most desire at present is North Africa, but it is still in the hands of the Ottomans, and they certainly have no hope, and the Italian colonies in Africa are just that point on the Red Sea, surrounded by British, and they want Britain to give them a piece, but the British are certainly unwilling to do this. Zhang Quan said.

"And what about the colonial distribution of the Germans?" Yang Feng asked.

"There are not many German colonies, Southwest Africa is definitely British, Cameroon is also British, Togo is French, the Philippines is Russian, and there is one Tanganyika left, and the Russians still have a foothold in Africa, how can they still have a share, to be honest, Britain, France and Russia are also very clear that Italy is nothing more than that little value, and of course it is not okay to get too much." Zhang Quan said.

This is true, Germany is such a colony, Britain, France and Russia have millions of dead and wounded, of course, they can no longer be distributed to others, but if they do not divide the part, where will the Italians get the motivation to enter the war?

"Judging from the results of the activities of the European countries now, Italy may still fall to Germany, and the dispute between them and Austria-Hungary is nothing more than a dispute in Trentino, but even if the British colonies cannot be divided after the war, there are still large French colonies, enough for the three of them to divide, and it is said that Germany and Austria have promised that once the war is won, Morocco will be assigned to Italy, and Germany only needs to keep a military base in the north." Zhang Quan continued.

This made Yang Feng even more entangled, could it be true that he wanted to push Italy into the arms of Germany? But in that case, William will at least have to take out a group army to protect the stunned, just in the original World War they let the Austro-Hungarian Empire score a glorious record of more than 100 kilometers deep, the British really want to land in Italy This country is absolutely unstoppable, the Germans are already very nervous now, and to protect Italy I am afraid that it will seriously affect the future attack power.

"Why not let Italy join the German-Austrian gang? What we need now is for the Allied bloc to beat the Entente a little harder, and wouldn't it be more beneficial for this strategy if Italy joined? Zhang Quan said incomprehensibly.

"No, no, just remember one thing, Italy, if it joins the German-Austrian gang, then the Germans will have to send heavy troops to protect them, and if they join the Entente, Britain and France will also send troops to protect them." Yang Feng said. Originally, in the end of World War I, Italy had to rely on Britain, France and even the American army to counterattack to regain the lost territory, and even then, the reason why they were able to succeed was not because they fought well, but because at that time the Austro-Hungarian Empire was on the verge of disintegration, and even the sequence of counteroffensives included the Czech Legion.

Zhang Quan was also hit by a small landmine, he didn't expect the emperor to despise Italians so much, but in this kind of matter, he still tends to believe the judgment of the emperor emperor, after all, Emperor Yang has been able to say that he has done everything in diplomacy over the years, and sometimes no matter how seemingly unbelievable the inference is, it will become a reality.

"In that case, if we want to push Italy over the side of the Entente, then the easiest way is for us to create an atmosphere for joining the Entente, and the more realistic it is, the better." He thought for a moment and said.

"That's a good idea!" Yang Feng's eyes lit up immediately, Italy's ability to decide the situation of the war is just an illusion, but China's ability to decide the situation of the war is real, as long as China joins the Entente group, then the defeat of Germany and Austria can be said to be without any suspense, and those small countries that have been watching only need to rest assured and make bold bets.
