514 The German colonies in West Africa are not strong enough!

In Berlin's train station, Hoffmann smoked a cigar leisurely, as if he didn't see the soldiers coming in and out, and his broad cheeks were laughing because he was wearing a pair of small glasses. 【 I want: super fast update 】

The well-dressed German soldiers rushed past like a tide, and everyone would unconsciously look here, not at Hoffmann, but at Hoffman's side, a middle-aged man dressed in a very different style from the German **.

"Sun, I heard you're going back?"

Jiu Gong nodded, his eyes swept over the dense German soldiers around him, and for some reason there was a rush of impulse in his heart, although he really wanted to wait until the war started for a while before leaving, but the General Staff no longer allowed him to stay here.

Wang Shizhen had arrived in Italy yesterday with a guard in civilian clothes, taking advantage of the opportunity of the war to come here by train through Austria-Hungary, he will officially take over the post of Chinese military embassy in Germany, in order to let him talk to the German General Staff, the emperor even granted him the post of deputy chief of the general staff, and the ship that picked him up has also arrived in Hamburg, so it is time to leave.

Hoffmann was not surprised that Sun Jiugong was leaving, in fact, since he handed over a letter to Moltke Jr. that day, which provoked a thorough investigation within the German leadership, he knew that the Far East was no longer willing to lie dormant.

If it can be linked to the Far East, Germany's chances of winning will be many times greater, but it is still a mystery whether the emperor, who is called an arsonist, is willing to intervene and how, although the commander of the German Far East Fleet, Admiral Spee, has been appointed as a special envoy to persuade him, but it is said that he has not succeeded several times, so it is obviously not so easy to want the Far East to also participate.

"Hoffman, was it disappointing to go to the Eastern Front?" Sun Jiugong interrupted Hoffman's thoughts and said with a smile: "The combat effectiveness of the Russians cannot be compared with that of the French, and you must be very lonely." ”

"I don't want to say hello to French artillery, and I like Russian women!" Hoffman still had that indifferent look, and was just about to speak, when the whistle sounded, and seeing that the time of separation had finally arrived, he still couldn't help but suddenly lowered his voice: "Sun", can you tell me what His Majesty Li Mo said in that letter? ”

Looking at Hoffman, who looked like a child asking the bottom of his face, Sun Jiugong hooked the corners of his mouth, and lowered his voice to his ear and said: "There is only one sentence, there will be a war, don't weaken my right wing." ”

Hoffman's face changed again and again, and he finally understood why Moltke Jr.'s chief of staff wanted to investigate the interior thoroughly, and even he was questioned many times, because the emperor of China actually broke through a key sentence in the top-secret Schlieffen plan.

As one of the few middle-level officers who had been exposed to Schlieffen's plan, he could understand the mystery of the plan, but he could not interject if he was a little soft, but he firmly believed that one thing in the plan was very correct, that is, there must be ninety-seven divisions to conquer France, of which seventy-nine divisions must be used to form a huge assault movement through Belgium, and even he thought that it was less, and if he were in command, he might prefer to draw a few divisions from the Eastern Front to increase the strength of the maneuver.

It's a pity that the executor is not him, the chief of the general staff of Moltke Jr. is not the one who really controls the army, he is just a puppet appointed by His Majesty the Emperor in the grass team, and it is His Majesty who really controls the army, and His Majesty's character is that he will never allow the Lorraine region to be occupied by France, and he will not give up even an inch, so this plan cannot be perfected at all.

The quiet whistle sounded again, and Hoffman patted Sun Jiugong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you, please tell me that I regret my gratitude to His Majesty Li Mo." (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Shaking his head, Hoffman didn't finish his sentence and turned into the carriage.

As the train started slowly, Sun Jiugong waved his hand to Hoffman who was standing at the door, and walked out of the station with firm steps, in fact, he had already guessed that little Moltke might not give up the land he snatched from France in the Franco-Prussian War so easily, Hoffman's words just confirmed his idea, but even if Germany was unwilling to cooperate, what did it matter?

Hua's future can only be killed by the sons and daughters of Huaxia with their own lives!

"Your Majesty."

In the early morning in Huā Garden, Chen Ping walked to Li Mo, who was pretending to sleep, and handed him the telegram sent back by Wang Shizhen: "Wang Shizhen has met Wilhelm II, but the Kaiser has made it clear that he will not give up the Lorraine area, and Moltke Jr. has also revised the plan according to his ideas, preparing to send seventy-eight divisions to the Western Front, of which fifty-three divisions are to carry out a rotating attack, in addition, he has secretly transported 100 tanks obtained from us onto the train, judging from the current situation, he is very likely to be put into the Western Front!" ”

"Hopefully."

Li Mo coldly spit out three words, and he had a hunch during this time that Germany would not accept his plan at all, because both he and Schlieffen made a serious mistake, that is, they both stood on the position of the army, and failed to test the ideas of Tang Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II was an emperor with a changeable personality and great achievements, and such a person only thought about expanding his territory, how could he sacrifice the land that his father had stolen from the French, and Moltke Jr. was just a poor child caught between the army and the emperor, and it is enough to say that he was abandoned immediately after the failure to advance on the Western Front in history.

Now the only thing that can be hoped for is that a hundred nondescript aN can be powerful, as long as Germany can quickly break through the scorching sun fortress and approach the line of the Marne, then the flat plain of France can still allow this force to play a sufficient advantage.

Originally, his idea was to remind Germany not to change the Schlieffen plan and encircle the main French force with a beautiful right hook, as long as the main French force was surrounded in one fell swoop, Britain would inevitably have to invest more troops, but their strength was not enough to help the precarious France, so it was bound to drag the United States into the water.

But even Wilhelm II and Moltke Jr. were very stubborn, but they couldn't be idle, it was time to make a move!

"Yuanshou, what's going on with the reserves?"

"Back to the emperor, if we start recruiting reserves now, we can complete twenty divisions in one month, and one hundred divisions in half a year!"

Chen Ping said this with a hint of pride, to be honest, the world wants to compete with War's military strength and national defense mobilization capabilities have not yet appeared, even Britain, which claims to have many colonies in the world, or the United States, which has the world's strong economic capacity and a population of nearly 100 million, cannot be compared with China in this regard.

This is because after the National Defense Mobilization Law and the Anti-Secession Law were passed by the National Assembly many years ago, China has already established a set of effective reserve plans under the emperor's plan, and many people can understand how powerful the emperor's far-sighted vision is.

According to this bill, over the past few years, the garrisons in various parts of China have sent nearly 100,000 officers to take advantage of the opportunity of agricultural slack to let 3 million young people of school-age receive at least two years of continuous basic military training.

In addition, large factories also need to arrange for some workers to be trained in rotation in accordance with the National Defense Mobilization Law, so at present, China is the country in the world with a large number of reserve soldiers who understand basic military capabilities.

Therefore, the number of people, than the army, China is by no means afraid of any country, the main army's projection capacity and equipment hoarding problem, delivery with the Navy in recent years began to build special large ocean-going landing ships began to be alleviated, equipment hoarding is a problem, mainly in the early years of the country's poor manufacturing capacity "There are only a few military factories, so the military material reserves have not kept up, now although the manufacturing capacity has gone up, but the family is also bigger, not only need to meet their own equipment, but also need to provide foreign aid and sales, so it is also a little tight.

However, if only one million troops are recruited, it can still be done, but if there are more, I am afraid that each person will only be able to issue a gun with a few rounds, which is the main reason why the emperor has been reluctant to intervene in Europe now.

After getting Chen Ping's assurance, Li Mo took a deep breath, although he didn't have the idea of intervening now, but it was time to make some small moves appropriately, it was obviously a big waste to let the army idle, unless the United States did not participate in this war, otherwise he would not be able to escape, so it was better to practice more troops while Europe was in a mess, and save the time to be in a hurry.

So he immediately asked, "Yuanshou, according to your idea, how many reserves do you think we should recruit?" ”

Li Mo's words made Chen Ping laugh, although he had long known that the emperor would not give up the opportunity for a major political reshuffle in this world, and even began to plan and prepare ten years ago, but he was not a roundworm in his stomach" spread out his big hand and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you should also tell me what you want to sit on!" ”

Li Mo suddenly sat up from the recliner, and his eyes flashed: "Help me contain the Russian army of one million, and I also need to ensure that five speed infantry divisions in Borneo can be delivered to Australia or the Southeast Peninsula within a month when it is urgently needed!" ”

Chen Ping smacked his tongue and took a breath, five speed divisions are no problem, in addition to the four armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions in the core, taking advantage of the economic take-off, the army has purchased a full 30,000 trucks over the years, and each division is equipped with a lot, and the mobility has been enhanced a lot, so as long as the five main divisions are stationed in the station, and some trucks and Wildcat 3 armored vehicles can be appropriately strengthened from the current order.

However, it is not easy to contain Russia's 1 million army, Russia has 2.5 million standing troops, and it is not a problem to cobble together 5 million troops in an emergency, according to European standards, it will take 1 million to contain 1 million, and it will be really difficult for such a large force to enter wartime at once.

However, it is not completely impossible, Russia has suffered enough in the hands of China, not only has it lost most of Siberia, but there are still 300,000 veterans still serving in labor, so as long as he draws out 500,000 or even less, Nicholas II must also be fully prepared!

So after thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, if that's all it takes, then fifteen divisions are enough!" ”

"Fifteen divisions, are you sure?" Li Mo glanced at Chen Ping and smiled.

"The Trans-Siberian railway line has been completely renovated, the northeast and Kulen lines have been connected, and the far Tangnu-Ulianghai connection section can be completed by the end of the year, so we already have the ability to project troops on a large scale to the northern line."

"The Xinjiang railway has reached Urumqi, and now it has crossed Ili and is extending to Lake Balkhash, according to the opening schedule of the Prime Minister's Office, it can be opened to traffic in the middle of next year at the latest, so if we want to contain the Russian army of one million, we can take advantage of the current tense situation, announce the mobilization of fifteen divisions, hold large-scale exercises in Xinjiang, Tangnu, Ulianghai and Irkutsk, and also put fifteen conscripted infantry divisions in Lake Berga and Xinjiang, if Nicholas II does not take the bait, Then simply create a border conflict, take control of the Yenisei River, and let Russia have to increase its troops to Western Siberia! ”

Hearing that Chen Ping was full of confidence, Li Mo couldn't help but nodded, without going to war, there is only so much he can help Germany, and containing a million Russian troops will be decisive for Germany's Eastern Front, if you can't wind this meat grinder in this case, then I'm afraid you will have to wait until you play!

"Let's do it, you can discuss this matter with Tang Shaoyi in person!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Chen Ping was about to leave, he saw Duan Fei hurriedly walking over, and when he got closer, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the second batch of weapons and supplies sent by the United States to Australia has arrived, and they have sent 30,000 soldiers. ”

Duan Fei originally thought that this news would make Li Mo and Chen Ping nervous, but he didn't expect the two to look at each other and smile, as if they didn't care at all about the desperate delivery of troops and supplies to Australia by Britain and the United States, scratching his head and saying anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Self-Defense Army won't be able to hold on for long if it goes on like this!" ”

"It's okay, as long as we don't talk about war or neutrality, Britain and the United States won't dare to make a dead hand.

Chen Ping laughed: "If they want to increase, they may regret this decision in the future!" ”

"Regrets?" Chen Ping's words made Duan Fei frown, but after a while, his eyes lit up, and he somewhat understood the emperor's actions to allow American forces to enter Australia and the Southwest Pacific.

However, the emperor and the chief of staff of this stuffy gourd did not break it, and there was no need for him to say it, so he changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, Spee and the German ambassador are here again, and they are waiting for you outside." ”

"Spee is here again." Li Mo remembered that the commander of the German Far East Fleet, who had been here no less than five times and tried to persuade himself to join the war, was also a little troubled by his persistence, and asked with a smile: "What do you guess he is doing this time?" ”

"I guess it's still the same as last time, trying to convince us to join the alliance and participate in the war."

As soon as Duan Fei finished speaking, Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "I think that he may have come this time for the 10,000 elite German Army soldiers stationed in Yokosuka, Kyushu, and now that Europe is about to fight, it is really a waste for such a strong force to stay here, and the sea route to Germany is basically blocked, I guess he wants to ask us for help and find a way out for this force!" ”

Li Mo nodded, in addition to the fleet composed of two armored cruisers under Spee, there are also a large number of German elite soldiers on Kyushu Island, this force is impossible to continue to lose in the Far East at this time, but it is impossible for them to go back, so how should they arrange these people?

"Your Majesty, Germany's West African colonies are not strong enough!"

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, Li Mo's eyes flashed fiercely, and 10,000 elite German soldiers were put into the Shangjing colony on the edge of South Africa, which was an extremely interesting thing
