The combat effectiveness of the Germans, I believe, is clear to everyone. ±≦ especially the British, French and Americans, who had fought against the Germans, were well aware of what the Germans were capable of fighting.

If the Germans could really be hired to fight in the Caucasus, then there is no doubt that the Russians were definitely not far from defeat!

After all, no matter what, the title of the strongest 6th army in the world was not given by the Germans in vain. In the case of fighting on both sides, it was still possible to take teammates like Austria-Hungary to confront world powers such as Britain, France, and Russia, and even at the end of the war, Germany's army was still located on the territory of Russia and France.

If it weren't for the fact that the Americans also intervened in the war and used their own industry as a weapon to help Britain and France throughout the war, it would have been difficult to say how the war would have been won.

It's just a matter of hiring Germans, and the concerns are too big after all. Therefore, after a period of consideration, the delegates of various countries could only choose to put this proposal on hold for the time being. As long as the targets of mercenary recruitment are aimed at countries in Europe and the United States, such as Britain, France, and the United States.

Fortunately, these countries have a large number of veterans who do not know how to live or find a job after leaving the battlefield. If you want to hire them, it's a very simple thing.

Even the weapons and equipment used by these people are not difficult. After all, both Britain and France had a large number of weapons that had been mothballed, and these weapons could have ended up in storage after the war. The end of slowly rusting is now ushering in the opportunity to rejuvenate the second spring.

However, the armament is not bad. But military spending is a problem.

After all, mercenaries must come out with money. And want to get these soldiers back into the battlefield. I'm afraid that three or two small sums of money are definitely not enough. At the very least, it's definitely a lot higher than what they used to pay when they were in Europe.

And if you want to help the Turks win victory on the battlefield in the Caucasus, the number of mercenaries is probably not enough without thirty or twenty thousand.

Thirty or twenty thousand, this number of troops may only be regarded as an ordinary little crab in Europe back then, but if it is in places other than Europe, America and East Asia, it is a rampant giant claw crab!

An expeditionary force of twenty or thirty thousand, before the European war, was obviously a trivial matter, both for Britain and France. But for Britain and France now. I'm afraid there are some, not to mention that the salary of 20,000 or 30,000 people is much higher than that of ordinary regular troops?

Fortunately for Britain and France, it was China and the United States that paid for it this time, so they didn't need to worry about military spending.

It's just that...

China and the United States paid for mercenaries from Britain and France to fight in Turkey, which somewhat gave Britain and France a feeling that China and the United States were spending money and they were desperate...

You know, in the past, they usually did that. Now that they have enjoyed this treatment, Britain and France have a somewhat uncomfortable feeling.

Originally, Britain and France had thought of letting China send troops or hire soldiers from China to Turkey. Anyway, China has a large number of troops, a standing army of more than three million. It's an astronomical amount for any country. It can even be said that, with the exception of Soviet Russia, there is hardly any country that has more troops than China.

Even the so-called more than five million troops of Soviet Russia. Most of them are also slightly moist.

After all, even at the height of Russia, there were no standing troops of more than five million. This more than 5 million in the Soviet Russian Red Army. I don't know how many people were actually just ordinary people who had no military training at all.

Compare it to. Although the strength of the Wehrmacht of more than 3 million is inferior to that of the Soviet Russian Red Army, almost all of these 3 million are standing armies and have received regular military training. Although most of them are only C-level troops, that is, the so-called third-rate troops, but even so, they are still much stronger than those militia-level troops in Soviet Russia.

This is also one of the main reasons why, after the Soviet Russian regime was stabilized, it still did not take the initiative to challenge the Nationalist government and 'recover' the lost territories in Siberia and Central Asia. Not because they don't want to, but because they themselves know very well how many of the more than 5 million Soviet Russian Red Army are actually at the militia level.

In addition, the Soviet and Russian governments also need to take precautions against Britain, France and other countries in Europe. The epidemic prevention circle created by Britain, France and other countries also gave Soviet Russia a headache, and although the troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains and the border with Russia in Central Asia were only more than one million troops, they were enough for Soviet Russia not to dare to act rashly.

However, in any case, it is a standing army of more than 5 million after all, although a considerable part of it can only be said to be at the militia level, but on the Sino-Soviet border, it is also a two-to-one ratio of troops.

With so much pressure there, how dare the Nationalist government move troops casually? —————— at least explicitly this is the reason for the Nationalist government.

——————————————————————————

In addition to allowing the Nationalist government to send troops directly, in fact, Britain, France and other countries have also considered paying their own money to hire veterans from China to fight in Turkey. First, China is also a part of them, and if they are hired, they do not need to be as strong as hiring Germany. Even if some racists insist that the yellow race is inferior to the whites, they cannot but reluctantly admit that the combat capability of the Wehrmacht is comparable to that of the British and French 6th Army.

It's just that...

Faced with such a request, the Communist government gave a very good reason for refusing.

The reason for this is simple, that is, there are not so many veterans in China.

Is there really no one in China? Of course not!

After all, in any case, China used to have more than 2 million national defense forces in the past, and now there are more than 3 million. Every year, tens of thousands of soldiers are discharged from the army because of the three-year service alone.

But on the other hand, Zuo Wenxin did not lie, and China did not have so many soldiers.

Merely. The soldier here does not refer to normal retirement, but to another way...

After the end of the First World War. Many people know that a large number of soldiers have been dismissed in Britain and France. The most fundamental reason for this is because with the end of the war. Britain, France and other countries no longer need so many soldiers.

Soon after the war, Europe was home to tens of millions of veterans.

After leaving the army, some of these soldiers were able to find jobs, and some were able to return to their old lives. But there are many who have not been able to do so, they have no job, they can't return to their old lives, they wander around the streets, they become drunks, addicts, and even the opposite of social security...

This time, Britain and France and other countries are going to hire it. These are the people.

On the one hand, they are a bad factor in public order, and on the other hand, their combat capability is very good. In addition, many people are in need of money, so it has naturally become a choice for Britain and France.

However, China is different, unlike Britain and France, which began to reduce the size of their forces after the end of the war, and as the size of the territory increases, the size of the Wehrmacht also increases.

From more than 30 infantry divisions before the outbreak of the war, it first expanded to more than 1 million, and then to more than 2 million. It has since expanded to more than three million.

In other words, China did not follow the end of the war like Britain and the United States, but continued to expand its armaments, so it wanted to be like Britain and the United States. It is almost impossible to hire 'discharged' soldiers—————— and it is too late for the Wehrmacht to keep these officers and men with combat experience, let alone discharge them.

——————————————————————————

Leaving aside for the time being, whether Britain and the United States and other countries would agree to merge troops from Germany and other former Central Powers. to counter the threat of Soviet Russia. At least the mercenary clause was already in place, but at a time when countries were recruiting mercenaries to Turkey in their own countries.

Some things to do. Always have to do it.

For example, the bombing mission promised by the Nationalist government...

Or the same air base in northern Iraq. After a period of preparation, the pilots of the entire base are well prepared. Almost all the fighters and bombers that were originally parked at the airfield were dressed in the livery of the Turkish army, and even the pilots were changed into the uniforms of the Turkish Air Force.

Not only that, although the fighters and bombers currently equipped by the Defense Air Force are good against the wind, the pilots on these aircraft still wear helmets with strong wind resistance—————— generally speaking, they only need to wear a goggle and a fur hat.

However, this era is different from that of later generations, and for various reasons, there are almost no opportunities for communication between pilots and pilots. As for being close enough to see it? This kind of thing is almost non-existent. After all, at that time, it had already entered the period of line-of-sight combat, not to mention visual distance, and even the use of combat bullets was not very common. And with the exhibition of the times, this situation will become less and less.

However, this era is different, because the degree of the aircraft is very slow, and the flexibility of the aircraft is very high, and the most important thing is the weapon of the fighter, so it is normal for the plane to have very close contact with each other. It can even be said that it is not a strange thing to say that the pilots of the two fighters have reached a distance where they can 'greet each other cordially'.

At least during the First World War, there were many cases of pilots waving their fists at each other. There was even a time when pilots shot at each other with pistols.

Although the Soviet Union did not dispatch its aviation units to the south this time, no one dared to guarantee that the Soviet and Russian sides would not send aviation units to the south in the future. After all, with the intervention of the National Defense Air Force, the Soviet and Russian sides definitely need to consider the issue of air defense, although the field air defense capability of the Soviet and Russian sides has become the leading Cheng Dù in today's era because of the bombing of the National Defense Air Force in the past, but after all, there is still a big difference between the field air defense and the cover that the Air Force can provide.

If the Soviet and Russian sides really send their air forces, then ...

If there was really close contact, it would be difficult to say that the Soviet and Russian sides would not have appeared, and the planes on the opposite side were actually sitting on Chinese—————— of course. Yan Shao and the others were not naïve enough to think that the Russians would be so stupid that they could not even recognize the aircraft models equipped by the National Defense Air Force.

It's just that if it hadn't been shown as its own pilot by the Soviet and Russian sides. Then even if Soviet Russia questioned in private, the Nationalist government could still answer. These planes are just sold by them to the Turkish side, and they are all piloted by Turkish pilots and the like...

In any case, at least for the Nationalist government at this stage, it is not a wise thing to fall out with Soviet Russia. In fact, Britain and France and other countries also considered it this way, and if this were not the case, they might not necessarily give up the possibility of sending troops directly.

Of course, these things must have nothing to do with those ordinary air force officers and soldiers, who are standing in front of the fighters and bombers that have already been mobilized at this moment. These Air Force soldiers stood tall on the airfield, looking straight ahead, like the most perfect soldiers.

"Good luck..."

Standing behind the glass window of the conning tower, looking at the young pilots below, Lin Wanru couldn't help but whisper in her heart.

On the other hand, the officers below are also repeating the tasks they already know.

"The task was simple, to drop the bombs they were carrying on the heads of the Russians, to stop their attack on the Turks, and to ensure that the Turks could hold their lines. Give the Turks a strong support! At this point, the officers below continued to repeat. To be clear, from the moment you put on the Turkish uniform, you are no longer a member of the Defence Air Force. Rather, it is a member of the Turkish Air Force, no matter what accidents you will have in the future, even if you are captured by the Soviet Russians. The government won't recognize your identity, understand? ”

"Got it!"

The officers and soldiers who had already known about this mission had long been clear. Naturally, he didn't say any superfluous nonsense, but replied loudly knowing very well.

"Good." Hear them say so. The officer nodded in satisfaction.

————————————————————————————

As the speeches ended, the pilots began to rush to their planes one by one. At this moment, hundreds of fighters and bombers are neatly parked on the airfield, and their motivation is even more motivated by the efforts of the ground crew.

The high-spin motive not only brought bursts of roar, but also rolled up a lot of wind. At the same time, the scene of hundreds of planes moving at the same time is really shocking.

Even the ground crews and many officers who had been stationed at the base for a long time were shocked by this never-before-seen scene—————— which is not surprising, given the large number of planes at this airfield, and the fact that armed conflicts can occur from time to time on the front line, that is, on the border between China and Turkey. The problem is that the intensity of these armed conflicts is not very strong, and even if the air force has a chance to make a move, it usually only needs to be dispatched in part, and there is no need to dispatch the entire air base at all.

Of course, this can also be seen from how bad the situation of the Turks really is.

If it weren't for the bad situation, even the Nationalist government would not have allowed so many planes to be dispatched at the same time—————— after all, they also needed to consider the ideas of the Soviet and Russian sides, although the Soviet Russia did endure the bombing of the Soviet Russian cavalry division by the Wehrmacht and Air Force at the beginning, and did not hold them responsible, but this does not mean that the Russians can tolerate the bombing of the Nationalist Government again and again.

When the Russians are unwilling to endure it any longer, it is estimated that it will be time for the two sides to meet each other.

As the planes moved, and the orders from the control tower, one plane after another began to move, and gradually rose as the tower was added. If those fighters are as nimble as swallows, then those bombers are like geese.

And after some adjustments, soon the planes flew in the direction of Turkey.

——————————————————————————

Somewhere in northern Turkey, groups of Turkish soldiers are huddled in trenches, enduring Russian shelling.

I have to say that these Turkish troops who have just been reinforced are indeed much stronger than the original third-rate troops. Although it still has a traditional, archaic and decaying composition, this does not prevent the Turks from using their strength to stop the Russians' advance.

It's just that the difference in strength between the two sides is so obvious after all, especially the gap between each other in terms of weaponry and firepower.

So when the Russians began to bombard the Turkish positions with heavy artillery, the Turks couldn't even come up with a few artillery pieces to counterattack—————— incidentally, not long after the counterattack began, the artillery was already swept away by the Russian artillery.

In any case, at least compared to the Turks, the Russians' artillery is indeed strong.

Merely...

As the battle unfolded, just as the Turks were waiting for the Russian shelling to end, and then a large number of Russians came up to cover up, they were a little surprised to see that the Russian artillery fire suddenly stopped...

Just when the Turkish officers and soldiers in the trench thought that the Russians were going to kill them, they poked their heads out of the trench and saw a group of flying machines with Turkish army livery flying in the sky in the distance.

It's just that...

"Do we have these planes in our country?!"

Looking at the planes in the distance, a Turkish officer could not recognize the surprised voice. (To be continued!)
