Chapter 711: Commitment

The encounter of the Seventh Cavalry Division caused a sensation around the world. After all, a cavalry division with great achievements in war, with more than 6,000 people, was actually hit by a devastating blow in an instant. Of the more than 6,000 elite cavalry, only more than 400 escaped...

Wherever such an example stands, it is a little too appalling...

In particular, it was an aviation unit that carried out this blow on the 7th Cavalry Division ...

Although the aviation units have proven their strength on the battlefield in the four or five years of war, in the eyes of the world, these units flying in the air are still just 'toys'. And this concept is probably not something that can be changed in a short period of time, which is not surprising, after all, after so many years, the aviation forces really have nothing to achieve.

The most famous, I am afraid, was the bombing of London by the Germans with airboats. But even so, it has not been able to play a major role, it is still the army and navy that decide the war, and as for the air force, it can only exist as a vassal of these two arms―――――― if there is no Yan Shao, maybe it will be like this for many years to come...

Now, however, these things, which were once regarded as toys, can destroy an elite cavalry division of more than 6,000 men in an instant, which is too sensational in the eyes of others.

When the news first came out, almost no one wanted to believe that this was a fact, they thought it was just a joke, and even the Wehrmacht itself, especially the cavalry units within the Wehrmacht―――――― the mobility of the cavalry units in this era was still very strong, so even if Yan Shaoming knew that the cavalry would definitely be eliminated. A number of cavalry units were still formed within the army, including some independent cavalry divisions.

No way, who told the armored forces not to be angry. Not to mention anything else, the failure rate is amazing, although these expensive new equipment has many advantages that cavalry simply cannot match, but at least at this stage, it cannot replace cavalry in terms of mobility...

But even if they don't want to believe it, the facts are the facts, when the truth of the matter is completely confirmed. The world was stunned, especially the cavalry units of various countries...

Although after the outbreak of the European war, the importance of cavalry has declined a lot. In many cases, cavalry was even used as infantry―――――― after all, they could not be allowed to charge on horseback against the enemy's machine guns, which was not an attack, but a death. It's suicide!

But even so. With six legs, they still have a strong sense of superiority against the infantry.

But now, they were slaughtered like pigs and cows, and they couldn't even fight back, or drag them back, which caused them too much shock...

Of course, it wasn't just them who were shaken, but also ordinary army units. Let's say infantry or something.

In fact, air defense operations are not very rare at this time, the French 75 Miss gun. I've made an anti-aircraft model before, and it seems that the performance is okay.

It's just that in the past, those 'flies' flying in the sky usually hit around by themselves, and they didn't have much impact on the ground, so in the past, those troops on the ground didn't care much about this.

This time, however, was different, for a full division of cavalry had been annihilated, and it took less than fifteen minutes. Although they usually don't look down on those six-legged bastards with their nostrils facing the sky, but this incident usually brings them a big shock―――――― although they only have two legs, even in the middle of the march, they are much more concealed than the six-legged cavalry, but if they are so carpet-bombed, their casualties will obviously not be small.

So, for a while, with the exception of those who are really a little sluggish, the armies of almost all countries are in danger. Many countries have even begun to develop equipment for field air defense, so that when they are bombed, they will not even have the ability to counterattack...

At the same time, there are also many keen-eyed people who are aware that this war case is likely to affect the future mode of war...

Cai Ye and Jiang Baili are one of them.

――――――――――――――――――――

Since witnessing the scene of hundreds of bombers carpet bombing, Cai Ye has been keenly aware of the importance of this equipment―――――― it is not surprising, although the performance of H-19 is certainly not comparable to B-17 or B-29, but in this era, hundreds of bombers, the scene of dropping thousands of bombs is still enough to shock the world...

At least in recent years, there have been many very outstanding talents in the National Defense Force, but it may be difficult to find anyone who can surpass the two of them.

Because of this, it is not surprising that the two were able to see the importance of the bomber.

It's just obvious that even though they have recognized the importance of bombers, for many reasons, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili have never fully seen the potential of these new equipment.

What if this time it was not more than a hundred, but more than a thousand or even more than 10,000? What if their bomb load is not a ton, but ten or hundreds of tons, and likewise their range is not 600 km, but 6,000 km?

If such a force can really be developed, not to mention an army, even a city can be reduced to ruins in an instant...

Naturally, these are not visible to others, but Yan Shao has seen them...

From what you see on TV...

But right now, it's not about this thing, it's about another, more noteworthy thing...

Kolchak, to be exact, the gold he carried...

――――――――――――――――――――

The strength shown by Wang Yuqing and others made Kolchak look forward to the Chinese government, and then hoped that the Chinese government would provide assistance. Help the Russian Provisional Government to launch a counterattack in Ufa―――――― of course, it would be better if it could help the Provisional Government to win...

But just when Kolchak was very excited, the officer who came to greet him poured cold water on him. Because of the Chinese government. To be precise, Yan Shao himself had no interest in his counteroffensive plan at all, and for the time being, not to mention how important the survival of Soviet Russia was to China. Wanting to solve the millions of Soviet Russian Red Army entrenched in Eastern Europe with hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the Urals and some bombers is an unrealistic idea in itself, and Yan Shao naturally has no interest in this unrealistic idea...

Without Yan Shao's support. Kolchak simply did not have the ability to confront Soviet Russia. So there was no other way, and Kolchak had no choice but to go on his own path, and after more than a week's journey. Arrived at Yekaterinburg, once the territory of Russia and the capital of the Chinese Ural province ――――――.

After the capture of Yekaterinburg, Yan Shao did not change the name of the city at all, as some officials or social celebrities had built. Because there's no need for that at all. After all, the city was originally named that. Well, there's no need to change it at all...

What's more, to stabilize the rule of a place, it takes reasonable policies and strong strength. If you don't have either, what's the use of changing your name? In the end, after being taken away by others, can't people still change it back?

So instead of bothering to find a way to change the name, it is better to spend more effort thinking about how to stabilize the rule in the local area. What's more, the name Yekaterinburg is not bad, this exotic name also proves that the city was conquered through GuΓ². It's an honor. If so, what is there to change?

Of course. Now the only thing left in the city is the name, anything else...

Except for a few buildings, almost all of the rest have been changed.

At least, when Kolchak, who was standing on the front of the car, saw the walls of Yekaterinburg from afar, he could hardly believe that the city in front of him was the city he had traveled to in the past...

"This ......... What the hell is going on..."

Looking at the towering city walls in the distance, and the buildings with different styles behind the walls, Kolchak showed an expression of disbelief.

As if noticing this, an officer who was accompanying him next to him approached, and spoke in a somewhat proud tone.

"Let me introduce you, this is the 'fortress city' Yekaterinburg that our government has just established!"

――――――――――――――――――――

Beijing...

With the arrival of autumn, the weather in the center of China's political center in the north has gradually become 'cooler' after getting rid of the scorching heat of summer...

Well, I believe that in a few days, there will only be "cool" and there will be no more "cool"...

On the grass outside the presidential palace, as the summer heat faded, some staff members who had had had time to spade began to wander in groups in the nearby gardens and other facilities. After all, seeing that it is already autumn, no one knows how long this qiΔ“ scenery in front of them will last, and besides, the summer has passed, and the tiresome cool day has also passed.

It's not a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to play now, do you have to wait until the weather is cold and all the flowers and plants are yellow?

This mentality is not only held by the staff of the presidential palace, but also by the people of the city and even the people of this country.

Unlike in previous lives, after several years of stable life, the whole country is significantly richer than it was before the government was formed, and the people have benefited greatly. Although there are still many areas that are still very poor, at least a considerable number of areas have lived a relatively good life―――――― of course, compared with Europe and the United States, I am afraid that it is even worse, after all, the gap between them is not small in terms of daily income alone. It's just that considering that prices in Europe and the United States are also very high, especially in the United States, rent alone accounts for a lot of expenses, so as long as there are a few more days, it is not impossible to catch up.

After all, at this time, the gap between China and the great powers was not as big as that of later generations...

And just when the Chinese people were trying to enjoy the autumn scenery, in the office in the presidential palace, Yan Shao was resting with his back against the chair and closing his eyes. Behind Yan Shao, Kaoru Otsuki was kneading Yan Shao's forehead and temples with her slender jade fingers. While placing the back of Yan Shao's head between his crisp chest, so that Yan Shao could rest more comfortably...

Is there anything wrong with that? has been by Yan Shao's side for so many years, even if it is inappropriate, Kaoru Otsuki has done it. And that's not to mention this little thing.

As Yan Shao's personal secretary, Otsuki Kaoru naturally knows very well how tired Yan Shao has been in recent times. First diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia, then Kolchak's gold, and the ongoing conflict with Japan on the banks of the Yalu River, and even some recent conflicts with Britain and France at the junction of Southeast Asia and Burma and French Indochina...

In addition, the discussion about the presidential term has not subsided in the country today.

Almost all of this qiΔ“ was pressed on Yan Shao's shoulders. Yan Shao is very tired...

However, for these things, not to mention Kaoru Otsuki and Lu Ying, even Katerina and Elano have no good way. So as a woman of Yan Shao. In addition to trying her best to relieve Yan Shao's pressure, Kaoru Otsuki has no other good way...

It's just that when Otsuki Kaoru was massaging Yan Shao's head as usual, Yan Shao, who was closing his eyes, suddenly spoke. "Speaking of which, it's been 9 years since we met..."

Heard Yan Shao say this. Kaoru Otsuki's hand that was pressing on Yan Shao's forehead suddenly paused. After half a ring, Kaoru Otsuki spoke. "yes, it's been 9 years..."

Indeed, it's been nine years...

Since Yan Shao sent Lu Ying to Japan, and sold the 'rubber stocks' purchased from the United Kingdom in Japan, he cheated the Japanese, and at the same time, Lu Ying brought Kaoru Otsuki's mother and daughter, who were desperate at the time, back to China to meet Yan Shao, it has been 9 years ago...

9 years...

Fumiko, who was once just a child, has now become a beauty who has inherited her mother's beauty.

Equally. Kaoru Otsuki, who originally had a weak face and looked pitiful. Now she has added a bit of mature temperament, and she has changed completely from nine years ago...

9 years is definitely not a small number for anyone, especially for a woman...

"9 years, next year will be 10 years..."Thinking of this, Yan Shao opened his eyes after a pause as if he had made up his mind. After solving these recent problems, the two of us will get married..."

Long ago, Yan Shao had promised to marry Kaoru Otsuki, but at that time, Yan Shao had just married the three of them, Elanon, and Kaoru Otsuki in that case......... What's more, at that time, the European war had just broken out, and Yan Shao was busy with the European war, where could he find time...

As a result, this matter was delayed for several years at once...

Until the end of the European competition...

Originally, the European war was over, and the marriage seemed to be on the agenda, but who would have thought that although the war was over, there were still so many things that Yan Shao needed to deal with. First of all, the Paris Peace Conference, as the leader of China, Yan Shao must participate, followed by the Spanish flu and the conflict on the banks of the Yalu River, plus the recent domestic troubles, and even some things on the Sino-Soviet border...

All kinds of things pressed on Yan Shao's body, so that Yan Shao didn't have this time at all, and Otsuki Kaoru, who knew how much pressure Yan Shao had, was unwilling to embarrass Yan Shao in this matter.

Let alone...

As the conflict between China and Japan becomes more and more intense on the banks of the Yalu River, Kaoru Otsuki's identity also brings some interference to this marriage, after all, she is Japanese...

If it was before the Xinhai Revolution, perhaps this identity was nothing, because although Japan took away China's Taiwan at that time, and humiliated Japan in the Sino-Japanese War and even the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was the best place for Chinese to study at that time, and it did not have much evil feelings towards Japan.

But...

With the emergence of Yan Shao, coupled with Yan Shao's always targeting Japan intentionally or unintentionally. You must know that Yan Shao at this time is almost a benchmark for the Chinese people, what he does, others will follow, Yan Shao is hostile to the Japanese, and others will naturally not have any good feelings towards the Japanese, the result is that Yan Shao has been president for several years, and the relationship between China and Japan can be said to be the worst years...

At this time, Yan Shao married a Japanese as his wife, which will inevitably cause great criticism.

What's more, Yan Shao has already married three wives, and marrying another one is four, which is inconsistent with the current mainstream public opinion of 'monogamy'. You must know that recently, the women's community has been asking for a monogamous constitution, but this matter has been secretly dragged by Yan Shao...

First the excuse is that it's a time of war, then it's the Spanish flu and so on...

All in all, it's about dragging this thing on...

But...

"Those girls are so powerful, I'm afraid they won't be able to drag it out any longer..."Saying this, Yan Shao patted Da Yue Kaoru's jade hand, and then grabbed it in his hand and kneaded it. Since you can't put it off anymore, let's get married as soon as possible, and wait until these things are done..."

Why is Yan Shao dragging this matter? On the one hand, it is for the well-being of male compatriots, and on the other hand, it is entirely for Kaoru Otsuki. Yan Shao attaches the most importance to his family, after so many years, both Kaoru Otsuki and Fumiko have been regarded by Yan Shao as his family, Yan Shao naturally does not want Kaoru Otsuki to be wronged at all, not to mention that her life experience is already pitiful enough...

You know, in a sense, Fumiko can even be called her sister―――――― because Kaoru Otsuki couldn't find Sun Yat-sen at that time, so she had to hang her in the name of her father Otsuki Sudo, and it turned out to be a mother and daughter, but nominally a sister...

At the same time, hearing Yan Shao's words, Otsuki Kaoru's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true..."Speaking of which, Yan Shao smiled at Kaoru Otsuki after being silent for a moment. Don't worry, I will definitely make you and Fumiko happy, this is my promise to you..." (To be continued......)
