ps: I'm sorry, there's something going on today, it's a little late, and there's only one chapter.

..................................................................

Hankyung, Strategic Intelligence Office of the Presidential Office.

The Strategic Intelligence Room is a room full of black technology, and the secrecy is extremely high, and there are no more than 30 people who are qualified to enter it. There are a lot of 23rd century equipment dismantled from the base, and the most conspicuous one is the five-meter-square laser holographic real-time sand table in the center of the floor. This kind of real-time sand table is directly connected to the base's main control optical brain "Xiaohuo", and is connected with satellites and various early warning airships, unmanned exploration vehicles and other spy units, which can update maps and information around the world at any time, support various data databases, and provide query services at any time.

At this time, Wen Desi and several high-level cadres discussed the situation in Europe in front of this laser holographic real-time sand table.

"It's really unexpected, I can't imagine that the British are so ruthless. Regardless of the crisis at home, the Mediterranean problem must be resolved first. Wen Desi said with emotion.

"Yes, it seems that the British government still has smart people, and the more tough it is at this time, otherwise they will be even more passive once the Strait of Gibraltar falls into the hands of the Allies. Anyway, London could no longer be defended, no matter how bad it was, it could not be bad, and the losses of the German army were very large, and it was impossible to organize another attack in a short time. Therefore, it would be the most appropriate choice to let the Japanese fleet reinforce the Mediterranean and stabilize the situation in the Mediterranean. Chief of the General Staff Xin Jie said: "Mr. Wen, in the plan made by our General Staff, there is also the option that Britain made this choice. ”

To be honest, the battle for the Strait of Gibraltar did come as a bit of a surprise to the CSU leadership, not that they did not expect this possibility, but that they thought it was very unlikely.

Generally speaking, in this time of crisis when London fell, the British should have looked at their homeland first. According to the logic of ordinary people, for the deployment of this Japanese force that came to the aid of thousands of miles, it should be directly sent to the British mainland as soon as possible to strengthen the strength of the local army to resist and even counterattack the German army. This is also a safe thing to do.

But I didn't expect the British to gamble this time, and simply broke the jar and broke it, and London couldn't save it, so let's keep the Strait of Gibraltar first and defeat the arrogance of the Allied Mediterranean Fleet. However, this time Lady Luck finally sided with the British, and this time the gamble actually won. In fact, it was really a bit of luck to win this naval battle, if it weren't for the fact that the three Itaries, Austria and Turkey had different orders, fought each other, and had just fallen into the disadvantage of the Austro-Hungarian fleet and escaped. The British and Japanese fleets really may not be able to take advantage of this time, after all, the combined strength of the fleets of the three is much stronger than the combined British and Japanese fleets, and if the allies give more strength, maybe the unlucky British and Japanese fleets will be the British and Japanese fleets.

Prime Minister Zhang Lizheng said: "Yes, the British can dominate the earth for more than a century, and it is not for nothing, and there will be no shortage of smart people in the upper echelons of their country." Historically, the British were also daring to gamble. And this time, it only looks critical, and the actual situation is not so bad......"

Wen Desi looked at the laser holographic real-time sand table and nodded: "That's true, the current situation in the UK is very critical on the surface, and it really scares most people." He made a few strokes in the air, enlarged the part of Europe, and called up some numbers of countries, and said: "But in fact, after the capture of London, the explosive power of the Allies, especially Germany and Austria, has reached its limit. ”

He pointed to the map and said, "...... The Allies now deployed 92 divisions and 29 brigades on the Eastern Front, 45 divisions on the Southern Front, and 186 divisions and 18 brigades on the Western Front. Now that 21 divisions have been deployed in Britain, the total number of troops on the front line has exceeded 6 million, and although they still have a source of troops, their logistical capacity is almost to the limit of the strength they can maintain, and it is impossible to increase troops to the front line at least for a short time. ”

The population of the Central Powers is now about 66.5 million in Germany, 52 million in Austria-Hungary, 38.1 million in Italy, 21.6 million in Austria-Hungary, and 4.7 million in Bulgaria. The total population is about 1. 8.3 billion people.

The population of the Entente countries was about 46 million in Great Britain, 39 million in France, 171 million in Russia, 53.2 million in Japan, and 7.6 million in Belgium. The total population is about 3. 1.7 billion people.

But this is only the native population, if you count the colonies, there are 7.4 million in Canada, 4.8 million in Australia, and 3 in British India. Of the population of about 200 million, South Africa has 6.2 million, and with the addition of other colonies, it is not a big problem to get together 400 million people. Although the population of the French colonies was much smaller, there was little pressure to raise enough to reach 32 million.

As long as both sides do not make a fool of the two sides in the war, what they fight for is population and resources, as well as productivity and scientific and technological level. The gap between the latter two is not too big, but the first two are much worse. Not to mention resources, Britain, France, and Russia, together with their colonies, together are more than half the world, and there is no shortage of anything. In terms of population, the population under their rule was more than 7. 500 million people, even if only 5% is mobilized, can pull out 37.5 million troops. If the mobilization is carried out according to the 10% limit, 75 million troops can be pulled. Of course, if you can't afford it, whether the level of combat effectiveness is high or not, can it be sent to the front line...... These questions are said separately.

But on the side of the Allies, although it seems to be in full swing now, they are only 1 at most. 900 million people, even at the 10% limit, can only pull out 19 million troops.

In other words, the war potential of the Entente was far from being comparable to that of the Central Powers, and as long as they could survive the three axes of the Central Powers, then they could fully exploit their war potential. This is something that anyone who knows a little about the world can think of, and they can see it, and the Allies can see it, and the Entente themselves will certainly know better.

The key issue now is to see if the Entente can withstand the three axes of the Allies, and if they can't, then everything will be over.

Wen Desi looked at the map and asked Xin Jie, "Xiao Xin, how are the preparations for war in other countries of the People's Revolutionary Federation and Siam now?"

The "Human Innovation Alliance", which is now dominated by China, has a total of five member countries, including the Afghan People's Republic, the Persian Socialist Republic, and the Arab Socialist Republic. There is no doubt that these countries have been supported, and now the governments, armies, enterprises and institutions of these countries have hired a lot of Chinese consultants.

The People's Republic of Afghanistan was the first of these states to be formed, launching an armed uprising in 1913 and storming Kabul in January 1914 to overthrow the rule of Habibullah Khan, the last king of the Barak Chayi dynasty. On March 1 of the same year, the establishment of a socialist government was proclaimed, which was recognized by China the next day. Subsequently, under the mediation of China, the world's major countries recognized it. The current head of state is President Makji, who was sent by President Wen.

Next came the Persian Socialist Republic, which, after launching an armed uprising in February 1916 and overthrowing the Qajar dynasty, proclaimed its state on May 20, 1916, with President Mufasha as its current head of state. It was also recognized by major countries a few months later.

Finally, there is the Arab Socialist Republic, the founder of this country, also the Mayasu secretly sent by General Wen, who first controlled southern Iraq and the northern Arabian Peninsula, but was still only a separatist force, and did not formally establish a state. The ensuing expansion of power led by the Arab People's Army, which led by him, destroyed the Kingdom of Najd and the House of Saud on June 22, 1916.

After integrating the original Najd forces, Mayasu took advantage of the fact that the European powers and Turkey had no time to take care of the place, and sent troops to destroy the Hejaz Kingdom and its royal family Hashemite in the western Arabian Peninsula, and the Emirate of Jebel Shamal established by the Rashid family in the north, and officially declared the establishment of the state on November 22, 1916. Now the major powers have recognized this country for various reasons.

These three countries can basically be said to be under the complete control of Mr. Wen, because the heads of state (except Persia) or military and political backbones of these countries are basically secretly dispatched by Mr. Wen, just like those vest companies run by Mr. Wen, so there is no need to worry about being unreliable.

In addition to these three Central and Western Asian countries, there is also a Siamese kingdom that is also a reliable little brother.

Originally, during the reign of King Rama VI, the country's relations with China were lukewarm. However, on March 15, 1915, there was a turning point, because Rama VI was too tyrannical and favored traitors, and in just a few years on the throne, he created more than 3,000 evils, and many ministers refused to listen to it. So the royal police chief Lin Youde and the deputy commander of the army Lin Aotian father and son, adhering to the public opinion, launched a military admonition, they quickly took control of the capital, that afternoon King Zheng Bao is also Rama VI because of the emotion xù was too excited, the attack of chronic illness, died of violent illness, the prime minister and many other ministers were also martyred under the grief of grief.

When the news reached Hankyung, Moon Deok Si also expressed his deep condolences over it, saying, "Hey, please allow me to make a sad expression......"

Afterwards, the younger brother Zheng Guang succeeded to the throne, appointed Lin Youde as the prime minister of the kingdom, Lin Aotian as the commander-in-chief of the kingdom's army, and promoted a number of virtuous and loyal people who were suppressed by the attack that year. Suddenly, the people were in full swing, and the Siam Kingdom was revitalized and began to build an economy in full swing. On May 5, 1915, the new king, Zheng Guang, personally went to Hanjing to hand over a bloody letter signed by millions of Siamese subjects to Wen Dehei, pleading for the re-establishment of suzerain-vassal relations between the two countries, and proclaiming that Siam would always be the Chinese Ping Vassal and guard Tiannan for Huaxia. In the face of great wishes, Boon had no choice but to accept the annexation of Siam.

The next day, the two heads of state issued the Sino-Siamese Joint Declaration, and Siam re-established itself as a vassal of China and has been under Chinese protection ever since. Siam's diplomacy and military affairs are guided by China, and its internal affairs are self-managed. Because the Kingdom of Siam is a vassal of China, it automatically follows the suzerainty diplomatically, so there is no need to join the [People's Revolutionary Federation], anyway, if there is anything, just follow China.
