Yan Shao said very truthfully, although their relationship with Britain and France seems to be very good now, there is really no need to fight for Britain and France to this point.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, since they have sent so many troops, then Britain and France must give a corresponding return, but the problem is...

"Even if it were rewarded, to be honest, I don't believe much in the credibility of the British and French, and in fact if it weren't for the fact that the Middle East is now just a wasteland in their eyes, I don't even believe that they would give us these places..."

"And even if they promise us a lot now, if they turn their faces one day, we may not be able to hold on, after all, although I am somewhat confident in the army, but the gap between us in the navy is still too far away, if it is only a place like Vietnam or Burma, we will defend it, but if it is Africa or some other region......... I'm afraid that even the fleets that we have reinforced will be wiped out along with them..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao glanced at Sa Zhenbing, and what Sa Zhenbing gave Yan Shao was a very helpless smile.

In terms of the army, Yan Shao does have a very high level of self-confidence, and the reason is very simple, as long as you think about China's huge population and the human resources it represents, you can imagine how many troops Yan Shao can mobilize as long as there is a reasonable mobilization system...

In later generations, China had many armies, but it was rotten in war?

One of the reasons is training, another is equipment, and another is morale, plus a logistical factor.

In the Hereafter. These four things should be regarded as the basis for waging war, ahem, but it seems that all four things are present in the later generations. Let's not talk about training. Except for some ace troops, most of the troops are made up of temporary strong men, and such troops can be trained...

As for the equipment, although the equipment of the Japanese is already very bad, and there is no way to compare it with those countries in Europe, the equipment of the Chinese army will only be worse than that of the Japanese.

And morale. Can a strong army have morale? What's more, China at that time was extremely corrupt, although it was a war to defend the country, and turned to the Japanese. There are countless puppet soldiers. As for the logistics ...

But is there logistics? It's already very good that a soldier can not starve to death...

In later generations, some people often wondered that when they were fighting bayonets for what they were doing, the national army still fell behind the Japanese dwarfs. Many people think it's a matter of training. Of course, training is one of the big problems, but in fact, the bigger problem is the problem of food, the problem of malnutrition...

Because of corruption and other reasons, the soldiers of the national army at that time were starved to the bones, many of them were skinny and bones, although the Japanese were relatively short, but the nutrition kept up. And you can eat enough, even if you are a little worse than you in height. And what does it matter?

In this way, how could the national army not lose when fighting bayonets ...

But now...

——————————————————————————

Although there is still a gap between China's industry and the great powers, in fact, the gap is much smaller, but, on average, per capita, well, the gap is still very large, but in terms of overall strength, except for Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, the vast majority of them are no longer China's opponents.

In addition, at this time, China was not as poor as the people in later generations, even if there were a few disasters, with the newly built railway, it was enough to send the food for disaster relief to the disaster area, and by the way, let Song Jiaoren go over to sit in the town, to ensure that there would never be any problems...

The common people are well fed, their physical strength is naturally good, the national defense forces are fuller than the common people, and the nutrition is also sufficient; when the troops formed by the original Anhui system during the Shandong Campaign, when facing the Japanese, although their skills are worse when fighting bayonets, they do not fall behind much by virtue of their height and other advantages, at least they will never lose because of the problem of strength, and this is the difference.

In addition, at this time, China has built a relatively reasonable mobilization system through several years, so even if something really happens, Yan Shao is confident that millions of troops will be mobilized.

The only problem is the problem of equipment, but with the support of the Americans, to be honest, this is actually not a big deal, and this is one of the reasons why Yan Shao is confident that he can turn the tide of the war in Europe.

The only thing to worry about is the problem of the navy, but even if it fails on land, I believe that the British at sea can still prevent Germany from landing on the British Isles with their superior navy, and as long as Yan Shao and the Americans have a place to settle in Europe.

Of course, Yan Shao was also worried, what would happen if Britain and France really surrendered, this is definitely not impossible. After all, if the losses are really large, Britain and France may indeed surrender, in that case—————————— although the German navy is not as good as the British, it is only worse than the British, and it is definitely much stronger than China.

As for submarines or something, although the Chinese Navy did play submarines very easily, in fact, Shandong was only brilliant once, and it basically fell silent later.

Today, although the submarine force of the Wehrmacht Navy is huge, it has little experience, unlike the Germans, who have a brilliant record in the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, and each of them has rich experience in actual combat, and the equipment has also been tested in actual combat.

Even if those submarines could not follow the German fleet to China, with the guidance of those experienced German submarine officers, it would be very difficult to use submarines to sneak attack the German fleet, and if the sneak attack was not successful—————————— I am afraid that the submarine force would be in danger...

——————————————————————————

Naturally, Yan Shao is also very aware of the gap between the navy and the navies of the great powers, so he has been very supportive of the construction of the navy over the years. After all, he knows it well. The only threats on land are Russia and Japan, of which the Russian threat may collapse because of the First World War, and the Japanese threat. In fact, it can also be said to be a threat at sea, and as long as Japan can be threatened at sea, this threat can be solved, plus the threat from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and some other countries at sea.

The development of the Navy is inevitable.

Today's Wehrmacht Navy already has dozens of new destroyers, more than 20 light cruisers, and even 10,000-ton cruisers have been almost built. Coupled with the original three dreadnoughts and a few salvaged ships in Longkou Bay, they can be regarded as good in strength, but compared with Britain, Germany, the United States and Japan. There are still some gaps, of which the first three countries have the largest gap, and the latter one...

After the launch of the last two super-dreadnoughts of Japan, and two more battlecruisers. The gap has widened again...

Moreover, although the National Defense Navy has created a miracle in Shandong. But that was a matter for the submarine forces, and the surface fleet didn't do much to show for it, and although some navy people went to England to help, there was basically nothing to do except one Jutland...

In terms of actual combat experience, the gap is simply too big ...

——————————————————————————

Not to mention Yan Shao's regrets about the navy for the time being, hearing Yan Shao's words, Duan Qirui and the others looked at each other. The purpose of their visit is actually very simple. is to hope that Yan Shao will retract the order to transfer Cai Ye and the others back.

After all, although Russia has changed, the situation in Europe is clearly more worthy of their relations.

The most important thing is. Even if something changes happen in Russia, it seems that there is no need to transfer a general like Cai Ye back, right? If he were to be brought back, the shock would be a bit too great...

After all, Cai Ye is now the only person in China who can be called a famous general, and now that he is transferred back, what should the British and French allies think? ——————Of course, the statement of this only famous general is just because Cai Yi is currently the only one who has become famous in Europe, at least many people in China think that if Jiang Baili also passes, it will definitely not be much inferior, is it the other...

Old-style generals like Feng Guozhang don't think they will be much inferior to them.

But the facts are the facts, and the fact is that there is only one Chinese general who is famous in Europe. At present, there is chaos in Russia, the pressure of the coalition forces on the Western Front has increased sharply, and now is the time when China should send more troops to Europe, but now Yan Shao not only suspended the action of increasing troops, but even ordered Cai Yi and others to come back, what should this behavior look like in the eyes of the British and French allies?

AIA was amazed!

Especially Feng Guozhang and others, who have been guarding the north for many years, have a relationship with some gentry and entrepreneurs in the north, and now these people have great interests in Europe and are unwilling to defeat the Entente, so they naturally found Feng Guozhang and them, and their return has a great relationship with this.

But now...

After listening to Yan Shao's words, they felt that it was not unreasonable.

After all, the Chinese have been inferior for a long time, even many officials, when they saw the foreigners, they were three points shorter before they opened their mouths, and many textbooks in later generations often said this, so-and-so grew the ambition of the Chinese people in front of the foreigners, well, and there are evaluations such as not being arrogant or humble.

The problem is, if the Chinese and the foreigners are equal, why should they be praised for not being arrogant or humble?

Although they did have a lot of confidence in the Wehrmacht, in fact, they didn't even have the slightest confidence in what the Wehrmacht would be able to do when it arrived in Europe...

However, after the Wehrmacht arrived in Europe, what happened next gave them great confidence, first Verdun, then the Somme, the performance of the expeditionary force in Europe was definitely not inferior to any European army, although in addition to the main division, the performance of the other two B divisions was somewhat unsatisfactory, especially in terms of tactics, compared with friendly forces, but their tenacity was recognized by many allied generals on the front line...

As for the only armor division, it is even stronger than the ordinary armies of the great powers by virtue of its equipment and so on.

Even the troops temporarily recruited from the reserve can perform like this, which is so encouraging for Feng Guozhang, and because of this, although public opinion is very pessimistic, but...

Just like Yan Shao said, if Britain and France are willing to pay. Let the United States arm China, then it seems that it is indeed possible for China to mobilize three to five million people, and it is indeed possible to completely solve the war situation in Europe.

Just like Yan Shao said. Now they are only supporting the industry of so many armies, and it is not a human problem. What's more, Europe has been fighting for so many years, both Britain and France and Germany are exhausted, if there are really three to five million new troops to Europe, as long as Britain and France can hold a place for them to stay, even if the war situation in Europe is already rotten, they still have the ability to change their lives.

Not to mention, don't forget. There's also Italy in Europe.

No matter how much the Italians try to tease them in Europe, it seems that there is no problem in leaving them a place to stay. After all, Germany's strength was also somewhat insufficient, and the Western Front and Italy were on the battlefield. They can only choose one of them, and if they choose the Western Front, they can't choose Italy, and the same goes for them. The same goes for choosing Italy...

——————————————————————————

Of course. There are also some people who will think about it in their minds, after the expeditionary force solves the Allies, will they cut off the way back to the expeditionary force because of the threat from China, and then let these millions of people be wiped out directly in Europe, so that no matter how rich China's human resources are, I am afraid that it will be greatly damaged, and it may even be more serious than that of Britain and France...

But...

Those millions of expeditionary forces were in the heart of Europe. Even if Britain and France really play tricks, they can turn Britain and France upside down before they fall. Not to mention that there is a Germany watching from the side...

Even if the expeditionary force is really wiped out, they are definitely capable of making Britain and France pay enough price, especially France, it is not difficult to turn the whole of France into a ruin, so...

Unless the heads of the British and French are kicked by a donkey, there is absolutely no such choice...

"Since you already have a resolution in your heart, President, then we don't need to say anything more..." After thinking about it, although there were no small mistakes, it seems that Yan Shao really didn't make any mistakes in major matters, but often got some benefits through some whimsical ideas, and Feng Guozhang and others no longer insisted. But I still hope that the president will be careful, and the matter of Songpa is ......... On an international perspective..."

"Don't worry..."Yan Shao smiled and waved his hand, interrupting him. Even if the friendly countries are surprised, not to mention that although Songpa is good, but Baili will not be much inferior, this time Songpa has gained enough experience in Europe, I just need him to come back to be responsible for some major events, as for Baili, I am still very relieved to hand over the affairs of Europe to him, and compared with Songpa, what is missing in Baili is precisely the actual combat command, Shandong's pattern is still too small after all, even if it is too beautiful, compared with the war in Europe, there is also a little childishness, this time I want to take the opportunity of the European war, Train a few qualified generals for our country, otherwise..."Shaking his head, Yan Shao said with a smile. "When this war is over, if you want to get a promising war, I'm afraid it's not possible, and even if there is, it's all petty, and you can't hone anything at all..."

After speaking, Yan Shao looked at Jiang Baili, who had been standing behind. "Baili, as a soldier, you don't want to be a useless hero for more than ten years in the future, right..."

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Jiang Baili could answer nothing but a wry smile.

Although Jiang Baili doesn't like war very much, in the same way, as a soldier, if he has not been used for more than ten consecutive years, at most it will be some friction on the border or a small fight, which is also a kind of torture for him.

Seeing that Jiang Baili did not refute himself, Yan Shao nodded with satisfaction. "That's good, you have been staying in China in the past, although you have also played in Shandong, but you have not been trained a lot, this time, I am looking forward to your performance, how about it, have confidence..."

Hearing Yan Shao ask this, although he smiled bitterly in his heart, Jiang Baili still said loudly. "Humble faith!"

That's right, lowly ...

Although Jiang Baili was famous in history, Yan Shao also personally visited and invited him when he was in Anhui, and Corporal Lixian's posture can be said to be enough. But in today's China, there are very few people who dare to look at Yan Shao's face, especially with the prosperity of China's national strength and the prestige brought by the smooth war in Europe...

Although after the fall of Russia, the Chinese people were more or less worried, but they only thought that it was the problem of the Russians, and did not think that it was Yan Shao's responsibility, and Yan Shao's reputation in the country was only increasing...

Up to now, the people who can give Yan Shao a look are either people who don't want Yan Shao, or people who are hostile to Yan Shao, or an upright and idealistic idealist like Song Jiaoren, who is Yan Shao's family, and other than that, everything else is 'lowly'...

——————————————————————————

After solving Duan Qirui's problem, Yan Shao shook his head, moved his neck, and after drinking the juice brought by the next person, he walked from the stairs to the bedroom upstairs.

When she opened the door to her room, she saw Caterina and the others gathered around the bed, while Elano was lying on the bed with a big belly, her face full of the radiance of a soon-to-be-mother.

Seeing that Yan Shao was back, Elaline and the others all had smiles on their faces.

And looking at Elanon's bulging belly, Yan Shao's face also had a smile.

For Yan Shao now, I'm afraid nothing is as important as these family members in front of him...

Because Yan Shao knows very well that the reason why he struggled was not only to make up for his regrets when he was reading history books in the past, but also for the sake of these family members in front of him. (To be continued......)
