On the Western Front in Europe, the fighting on the Somme battlefield has become increasingly intense. As the subsequent expeditionary force gradually adapted to the geographical environment of Europe, the three armies that had been staying in the rear finally arrived at the front line and fought alongside the First and Second Armies under the command of Liu Guangyuan and Xiang Xinyuan.

It's just that compared with the smooth sailing some time ago, the Entente at this time has obviously entered a stalemate with the Allies. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, at least thousands of lives were killed at each other's guns almost every day, coupled with the cold climate and the damp and muddy land...

No matter how you look at it, the current Western Front is definitely not a suitable place for human survival.

Of course, compared to the above two, the most unbearable thing for the front-line soldiers is probably the soil that has been completely stained red by blood.

In many positions, the land to which the positions belonged had been completely dyed red because of the brutal and tragic fighting. For outsiders, of course, this is nothing, but for soldiers who have to hide in trenches for long periods of time, even when they sleep, they have to smell the pungent smell of blood, and many of the younger soldiers have already begun to have a nervous breakdown...

In the rear headquarters, due to the stalemate of the front-line war, Cai Yi, Haig, Fuxi and other generals also seemed anxious, for which they even combined Chinese and British tanks and used them intensively, but unfortunately the effect was not great.

In the beginning, the Germans still used a relatively simple way to counterattack the Chinese and British tank forces, but in the later period, the British did not know where to move many new field guns. These guns seem to be a bit different from normal field guns, and are entirely aimed at tanks. The 50mm caliber can easily penetrate the frontal armor of the tank.

Truth be told, no one would be surprised that the Germans were able to build such a weapon. It's surprising how fast they are, after all, it's not much time since the tanks are available, and the Germans are probably too efficient...

Fortunately, at this time, the tanks exported by the Nationalist government to Britain and France have begun to arrive, and the tanks belonging to Britain and France on the battlefield have begun to be more than those of the expeditionary force, and most of the tanks of the expeditionary force are in the period of breakdown and maintenance, so the number of tanks on the battlefield is mainly British and French, so as a result. It seems that Britain and France will also lose the most, not China...

This was a blessing in disguise, on the other hand, despite the fact that tanks worth 30,000 pounds were constantly destroyed by the Germans. However, Britain and France did not abandon the idea of such weapons in the slightest. After all, this weapon itself is indeed flawed, with this kind of weapon, it can indeed effectively reduce casualties, and at the end of the day, the British and French even wittily put some armor on the front of the tank. Although the effect is a little worse. It also affects the performance, but the protection capability is much enhanced.

What's more, under a large-scale attack, even if the Germans are equipped with some anti-tank guns, they may not be able to use them well, so tanks are still a very effective weapon on the battlefield.

In addition, the demand for tanks is also increasing, and even the United States, which did not participate in the war, has developed a lot of interest in this new weapon. The United States of course wanted to make it its own—————— but in fact the United States was still somewhat inferior to Britain and France in terms of technology during this period. And what about China...

Perhaps inferior to the Great Powers in many key industries, especially in the navy...

But in terms of automobiles, because of the relationship between the Yushi Group, China is definitely stronger than any other power of this era. It is much stronger than the United States, although the United States' technology in this area is also good, but unfortunately the tank project launched is obviously inferior to the Chinese tank in terms of technical indicators, so...

Outsourcing has obviously become inevitable.

The so-called "it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy", this sentence is applicable even to the United States.

And for Yan Shao, the United States is undoubtedly a big customer, of course, these are the next words...

————————————————————

In the conference room of the presidential palace, Yan Shao was pacing back and forth.

As the political center of China, and at the same time the place where many meetings are held, the decoration here is naturally very beautiful, and many of the furnishings are also boutiques, but at this moment, Yan Shao has not even had the time to look at those boutiques—————— which is not surprising, after all, he has been looking at it for many years, even if he is tired of seeing it.

Just as Yan Shao was pacing back and forth in the room, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and then Katerina pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

"How's it going, is there any news?"

Seeing that it was Caterina who came in, Yan Shao hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"Yes..."Taking out the things that Yan Shao needed from the briefcase he carried, Caterina looked at Yan Shao. The news has just come over, and it seems that Luo Wenying and they seem to be doing relatively well..."

"Smooth? That's good..."Picking up the telegram from Katarina's hand, Yan Shao's face showed a hint of joy. No one knew how important this matter was to Yan Shao.

Looking at Yan Shao's excited appearance, Katarina's beautiful face showed a trace of doubt, and she was a little puzzled as to why Yan Shao would be so happy, of course, she was even more strange about what Yan Shao would do to help the Russian Communist Party.

After all, from a certain point of view, the relationship between them and the Russian Communist Party can be said to be incompatible.

But right now, Yan Shao was looking at the telegram intently, so it was not easy for her to ask the question directly.

————————————————————

"Good!" patted the telegram itself, and Yan Shao, who had already finished reading it, couldn't help but smile. "It's finally done..."Saying that, Yan Shao paced back and forth in the conference room with some excitement, if he didn't still remember his identity, he was afraid that he would have already danced with his hands.

And looking at Yan Shao's current appearance, Caterina couldn't restrain the curiosity in her heart. "Yan ......... I've always wanted to ask, why do you want to support these people? ”

Pointing to the telegram in Yan Shao's hand, Caterina asked the question in her heart.

Hear Caterina's words. Yan Shao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly said with a smile. "Because it's profitable, of course."

"But—" Caterina frowned, and Caterina couldn't help but say. They're .........."

"Of course I know what they are. But this has nothing to do with interests, as long as there are benefits, even they are not impossible to cooperate..."After speaking, Yan Shao looked at Caterina with a smile.

What Lenin's gang is, I am afraid that there is no clearer one in this world than Yan Shao. After all, strictly speaking, the ruling party of China in later generations and the Russian Communist Party were more or less the same, at least the same beliefs, although by his time the ruling party had changed from a hammer and sickle to capitalism...

Yan Shao knows many things. It is clearer that in this era, the hammer and sickle and capitalism are two classes that are absolutely opposed. Similarly, Yan Shao also knew that in later generations, there were few so-called communist countries left. Even those who remain have begun to make a transition towards capitalism.

Strictly speaking, it is the so-called state capitalism, but there is usually only one ruling party...

Is this a failure of the hammer and sickle doctrine? This Yan Shao is not clear. But he certainly wouldn't choose this doctrine. After all, as a descendant. Not to mention other aspects for the time being, just the passive talent that the Hammer and Sickle Doctrine seems to come with is enough for Yan Shao to be unbearable.

After all, no one can stand the internal fighting that is always going back and forth, not to mention that this kind of fighting is usually very cruel, and Yan Shao asked himself that his wisdom would definitely not be able to adapt to this kind of fighting.

What's more, although Yan Shao was born in a hammer and grew up under a sickle in later generations, the sanctity of private property in his time was already implanted in his mind and could not be reversed at all. Let him get used to the life of a hammer and sickle, this is probably also. This is also the most important reason why Yan Shao did not choose this way, but chose nationalism...

————————————————————

Yan Shao will support the Russian Communist Party, for the same reason as he said to Katarina, because it is profitable, and it is precisely because it is profitable that he chooses to support the Russian Communist Party. Otherwise, he would have avoided these men as if he had met some of the later generations who were accustomed to covering themselves in their robes, especially considering that Stalin was also in the Russian Communist Party at this time.

"But—" Frowning, Caterina looked at Yan Shao. In their eyes, you are also considered an exploiter, and you are likely to be the biggest exploiter in this world, supporting such a party......... Even if you had helped them, they would never have remembered it, if one day they ......... Aren't you..."

Saying that, Katarina's eyes revealed a trace of worry, because as she said, as the owner of the Yushi Group, the largest group in the world, Yan Shao is definitely the biggest exploiter in the world in the eyes of the Russian Communist Party, and he is also the object that must be fought against.

If it wasn't anything before, after all, those hammer and sickle activists generally only operate in Europe, no matter how powerful they are, they can't influence China, but now...

Yan Shao is supporting them to overthrow the current Russian government, and then let them replace the current Russia.

In Katarina's opinion, there are obviously many other ways to overthrow the current Romanov dynasty, and there is not only one Russian Communist Party in Russia, so why do you have to choose them...

If it is someone else, it will be fine, but Yan Shao is her husband, and the relationship between them has always been very good, she can't help but worry about Yan Shao...

"Don't worry..."Seeing Caterina's worried look, Yan Shao was a little moved in his heart, and stepped forward to hold her in his arms. It's going to be fine, and I'm not going to let these guys go any further..."

Just like Caterina said, Yan Shao is a capitalist, but these people are specialized in capitalists, if they are allowed to gain power, then Yan Shao will definitely be the first to be unlucky, so they must not be allowed to gain power.

Because fundamentally speaking, Yan Shao and them are in the opposite class.

But on the other hand, Yan Shao had to let them own Russia. Although at this time there were actually other forces in Russia that could be linked, and if these forces had the help of China, they could completely replace the Romanov dynasty, which had already decayed at this stage, Yan Shao still had to support the Russian Communist Party, because this did not contradict Yan Shao's purpose.

Understand that the situation in China is very complicated right now. It's also dangerous.

At this stage, the only yellow countries that are still independent in East and Southeast Asia are China, Japan, and Thailand, which is still surviving. Think about it, in a blank slate. ——————Of course, there are many people who think that those countries in Latin America are not white countries, but at least in Yan Shao's view, they are all the same...

Now that the Entente and the Allies are at loggerheads, of course these people don't have the time to take care of China, but what about the future...

Wait until this war is over. Do they find China a bit of an eyesore now?

You must know that the racial discrimination in this era is very deep, white countries such as the United States are very discriminatory against yellow people, can they accept a yellow country as strong as them. That's really worrying.

Even if they can't start a war against China because of the European war, it's still no problem to play tricks behind their backs, so if you don't want them to focus all the pressure on themselves. Yan Shao needs to find a very good target for them.

More precisely. It is a target that attracts their attention, a target that Yan Shao deliberately set up.

And with the Confederates already extinct, there was no better target than a communist state. As long as there is such a country that is contrary to the entire world, Yan Shao dares to guarantee that the European and American powers will definitely focus all their attention on this country, as for China...

Even if there is a slight difference in skin color, it is definitely much stronger than the class position.

After all, even if China is a yellow country, it is still a capitalist country. But what about Russia...

Even if they have white skin, they are heretics that they want to destroy immediately...

As long as there is such a target. Attract firepower for Yan Shao, at least until the country perishes, Yan Shao doesn't have to worry about security...

This is the reason why Yan Shao had to choose the Russian Communist Party instead of following Katarina's advice to choose other countries. Of course, this is something that cannot be explained to anyone else.

In fact, in today's national government, there are definitely no more than 10 people who know about this matter, including Caterina and Luo Wenying, who went to Russia.

No way, who calls collusion with hammer and sickle doctrine a taboo in this era, let alone supporting these guys to overthrow a country. The magnitude of this problem is even greater than Yan Shao's collusion with Germany—————— at least in the eyes of some guys.

So when there is no way, Yan Shao can only do this secretly, let him be a secret as much as possible, and try not to let others know.

In addition, Yan Shao was not worried that Soviet Russia would be destroyed by the great powers after its establishment, because Yan Shao had already made up his mind that if Russia could really be replaced by Soviet Russia as in history, Yan Shao would take the opportunity to reap enough benefits, and then support the development of Soviet Russia from behind...

To put it simply, if the great powers attack Soviet Russia, Yan Shao will cease war with Soviet Russia behind his back, and even provide it with a large number of weapons to support it. Of course, this may seem to some people to raise tigers, but in Yan Shao's view, this is a last resort self-defense.

After all, Yan Shao had to take into account many issues, such as how these white countries felt about a country like China. There is also the question of whether they choose to be at peace with China or confront China when it becomes a growing threat.

In addition, there is the problem of the Middle East, under normal circumstances, when the European war has ended, the great powers should not take the initiative to come to the door to make trouble, but in fact...

If there is a reasonable outcome, this may not happen.

Besides, who said that when the war in Europe is over, the great powers will not continue to wage war? You must know that in history, even after the European war has ended, the European powers are still entangled in the army to attack Russia—————— although the most defeated ...

————————————————————

Therefore, Yan Shao must remain vigilant to avoid this happening.

What's more, Yan Shao also has a ready-made excuse here, that is, the Middle East issue he once mentioned.

The oil reserves in the Middle East are very rich, and the oil reserves there are even enough for a country to use for hundreds of years, and Yan Shao took the opportunity of the European war to turn the oil in the Middle East into his own home, which may not be a problem at the beginning, after all, no one knows where there is oil, even in China, only the upper echelons of the Guoshe government know such a secret, and the powers don't know such a thing at all, but...

There will be a day when this oil will be extracted, and when it is extracted...

How can Yan Shao continue to hide them?

At that time, in the face of resources like the sea, and enough resources for them to immediately return to their pre-war state, as well as the trauma of war, will Britain and France be the same gentlemen as they are now? No one can guarantee this, and maybe they may even rush to carve up China's colonies in the Middle East...

It's unlikely, but definitely not impossible...) ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————( To be continued ......)
