At this time, the Chinese observer group on the German side was also discussing the war. Several officers from the Air Force, Navy and Army were getting together to talk.

Most of the officers of the observation mission in this camp were pilots, and because of Germany's superiority in air warfare, most of the pilots and officers went to the German side as observers.

"Recently, the Entente has increased a lot of colonial troops, 7 Indian divisions, ll Canadian divisions, B Australian divisions, l New Zealand divisions, 2 Burmese divisions, 2 colonial divisions on the British side, and less French ones, as well as 7 Indochinese brigades and 4 African divisions......"

Lieutenant Colonel Kim Hae, from the Air Force, put down his binoculars and said to his comrades-in-arms next to him: "It looks like they want these people to be cannon fodder......

Lieutenant Colonel Chu Wangyuan of HNA said with a smile: "This is normal, the casualties in this war are too great, and they can't stand it." There was no way for Germany to send colonial troops to Europe, and Austria-Hungary had no colonial troops available, otherwise they would not have been polite......"

Major Wei Dabao thought for a moment and said, "However, the Entente is also quite difficult now, although their colonies have a large population, India and South Africa are revolting. Look at now, so big India has only sent 7 divisions. Now I am afraid that only Australia and Canada can be counted on. ”

Jin Hai smiled: "Hehe, according to me, it is very difficult for the Entente to transfer more colonial troops, the most populous India has broken out an anti-British uprising, and the situation is getting more and more serious, not only can they not mobilize Indians as cannon fodder, but they also have to trap more local troops......"

"Oh, yes. Recently, Germany is looking for us to buy planes again, and I heard that it is 306 sparrows..."Wei Dabao said with some puzzlement: "I'm strange, why do they buy so many sparrows?"

Jin Hai said: "Of course, it is used to train pilots, and although Germany has the upper hand in the current air battle, the number of pilots is not very large. Let's not forget, the Entente had a much larger population, and if you don't increase the training of reserve pilots, you will be very short of manpower in the future. ”

Chu Wangyuan also said: "Indeed, Germany did not have our reserve pilot training system before, and the number of pilots was very small. Moreover, not only did Germany not have a pilot training system, but neither did the Entente, so if a war of attrition were to be waged, both sides would not be able to bear it......"

Jin Hai said with a smile: "If you want to say, our President Wen is far-sighted, and he has set up the [Reserve Club] early on, and it has been popularized throughout the country, and we now not only have a sufficient number of pilots, but also pilots and sailors......"

In the past, many people at home and abroad did not think of the "four major clubs" that Wen Desi engaged in in China, thinking that it was a waste of resources and an extra move. But it wasn't until the outbreak of World War I that everyone realized that the members of these clubs were the best reserves.

The role of shooting clubs is not obvious, because at this time many countries do not ban guns, but aviation clubs, nautical clubs and driving clubs are completely different, these three clubs are aimed at technical troops, which is not like infantry, which can go to the battlefield after three months of training. If you recruit novices directly from the civilian sector, even if you conduct intensive training in the army, it will take at least half a year to become qualified soldiers. If you are like a fighter pilot, it is barely enough to spend a year.

The club is completely different, at least it can save most of the time, because they have received a lot of basic training and practical education in the club, and they can't be regarded as rookies. After entering the army, such a person only needs a few months of professional training to become a qualified charioteer, pilot and seaman.

Of course, this method of "reserve clubs" cannot be kept secret, so now that the effects of this approach have been discovered, the European and American powers have begun to follow suit. However, although this kind of "reserve club" seems simple, not everyone can learn it. First you have to be rich, then you have to be rich, and finally you have to have a lot of money.

You must know that in addition to shooting clubs, it doesn't cost much, and secondly, professional clubs are very expensive, buying planes and vehicles, building venues and facilities, and spending money on staff salaries and daily expenses. And a club like this has to be scaled up to be effective, and it's useless to only get a few of them. In this way, the cost is significant.

The situation in China is different, first of all, the policy of land nationalization makes the cost of land zero, and the lower labor cost and a large number of nationalized enterprises make the construction cost and daily operation cost also low. Secondly, because the equipment of aircraft and vehicles is self-made, most of them come from state-owned enterprises, and the procurement cost is also very low. So the cost of running these clubs in China is far lower than the international average.

The situation abroad is very different, most of the European and American powers have private ownership of land, and most of the various production enterprises are also privately owned. Conscientious capitalists definitely want to make money, and they can't make less money. For the same product, China's state-owned enterprises generally earn about 2% of the profit when they sell it to the club, but if you change to European and American capitalists, you will be embarrassed to say hello if you don't make 100.

Therefore, this has caused the European and American powers to build "reserve clubs" based on gourds, but the cost is several times higher, not to mention the progress. Up to now, except for the United States, which has deep pockets, has developed relatively smoothly, the development of the "reserve clubs" in other countries has not been ideal.

However, the countries participating in the war are in a different situation, they are not afraid of spending money now, and the country has entered a state of emergency, and it is much more convenient than usual to requisition land or something. But now is the time when it is imminent, and it must be too late to build clubs like China and other neutral countries in a hurry, so they spend more money to directly roll out n clubs across the country.

It will definitely be too late to manufacture equipment such as airplanes and automobiles by itself, and it will occupy a large amount of production capacity, which is not cost-effective. As a result, China's aircraft and automobile industries have received large orders, and the Jiao-L "Sparrow", a training aircraft with simple operation and reliable performance, is particularly popular, and since the outbreak of the war, it has received more than 1,560 orders from all over the world. Not only did the participating countries buy a lot, but even many neutral countries bought a lot.

The manufacturing cost of the teaching-L "Sparrow" training aircraft (wave 2 magic modification) is very low, the initial cost unit price is 60 yuan, but later with the improvement of the process, the cost of raw materials has decreased, and the price has dropped sharply compared to the use of plywood instead of solid wood boards, etc., and now the cost of each plane is less than 400 yuan, which is still the price of artificial prices. Although most of these domestic aircraft factories are state-owned enterprises, they all adhere to the principle of "making money before foreigners", and sell them to domestic users very cheaply, about 500 yuan for military and government users, and no more than 700 yuan for enterprises and private users. But selling it to foreigners is different, and the unit price starts at least 106 yuan. This is true not only for airplanes, but also for cars.

September b, 23rd year of the Republic (1915), Hanjing.

At this time, the First World War had been going on for almost a year and a half, and unlike the First World War in the original plane, there were not so many countries involved in the First World War in this plane, at least not so many at present.

The reason is very simple, everyone was frightened by the horrific casualty figures. By the end of the year, the number of Allied casualties had reached more than 360,000, including 170,000 in Russia, 30,000 in France (including colonies), 80,000 in Britain (including colonies), 20,000 in Serbia, 20,000 in Japan, and about 70,000 in Belgium. More than 800,000 people were disabled, another 60,000 were taken prisoner, more than 700,000 civilians were killed and 1.4 million wounded.

The losses on the part of the Central Powers were smaller, with more than 30,000 killed in Germany, more than 400,000 in Austria-Hungary, and more than 40,000 in Bulgaria. A total of 770,000 officers and soldiers were killed, another 36 were taken prisoner, and 180,000 were wounded. In addition, B 00,000 civilians were killed and 20,000 wounded.

This kind of Cheng dù casualties really exceeded the psychological bottom line of many people, so that many countries that originally had some ideas did not dare to end up lightly. Of course, imperialism has no discipline, and for them, how many people die is nothing more than a matter of cost, and not ending now does not mean that they will not end up in the future. Italy, for example, is now wooing them on both sides, but they are now vaguely prevaricating that they will not enter the war at least this year. They are waiting, waiting for the two sides to play almost when they are done, and then they will go down to pick peaches.

Not only Italy thinks so, but many countries think so, Osmans think so, the United States thinks so, China thinks so, everyone buys things to make money, and waits for the opportunity to end up.

"Mr. Wen, it seems that the situation of the Entente countries is very difficult now...... Xin Jie said.

"Well, it's okay, I'm sure they can get through it, how difficult it is to prosper the country," Wen Deji said with a smile.

"Will the United States still enter the war? If they don't participate in the war, the Entente may not be able to withstand it, and now they are exchanging with the Allies, so if they continue to fight like this......" Gu Xiaolu asked with some worry.

Because of Wen Desi, the "little butterfly", the history is very different, and the script has changed too much, Gu Xiaolu is a little worried that his layout will leak.

"Don't worry, the United States will definitely enter the war," Wen Desi said confidently.

After the outbreak of World War I, the British Empire, France, and Russia all kept issuing a large number of orders, bringing huge profits to the US military-industrial complex. However, the Entente countries are not the biggest customers of these plutocrats, in fact, the real biggest customers are the United States itself.

Although the standing army of the United States is now only more than 100,000 people, if the United States personally enters the war, it will be completely different. In the history of the original plane, the United States has raised an army of more than 600,000 people after entering the war. How much military budget will it cost to arm more than 5 million US soldiers? How much will it cost to burn tens of thousands of planes? How much will it cost to build hundreds of warships? You can think about how much huge profits these military budgets can bring to the plutocracy in the United States.

And all this has a premise, that is, the United States must personally enter the war before the US government will pull out a huge amount of military spending from its finances to purchase armaments. But if the United States does not enter the war, this huge military expenditure should not be considered. Therefore, even if the US government does not want to enter the war, the greedy American plutocracy will do everything possible to drag the United States into the war. Above all, the U.S. government is nothing more than the voice of the plutocracy.

Wen Desi sneered and said: "Hmph, the United States is not participating in the war now, it's just that the chaebols think that the best time has not yet come, not that they really won't go to war." ”

"Isn't public opinion in the United States very anti-war right now?" Gu Xiaolu asked.

Wen Desi pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "What is the use of such a thing as public opinion? Look at the several wars launched by the United States at the beginning of the 2th century, at that time, the anti-war public opinion was stronger, and it was not the same ...... If public opinion is useful, why do you need the government? This kind of thing is just to deceive the common people. ”
