Chapter 310: The United States is Coming to an End
ps: I was so tired yesterday that I couldn't stand it and fell asleep. Now make up for it
............................................................
"I didn't expect this Source of Courage Compound Syrup to work so well on those who are stupid!" "I am happy to see that they were able to muster up the courage to defend their homeland against the Japanese invaders, hahaha......"
Wen Deji laughed a little louder, woke up the sleeping little guy, and immediately burst into tears.
Gu Xiaolu glanced at him, and hurriedly coaxed the child: "Good baby, don't cry......" Since Gu Xiaolu became a mother, he has devoted himself to the daily life of taking care of children. Of course, according to the current legal leave in China, there is also half a year of breastfeeding leave after giving birth, and she will not resume work until at least June.
"Uh......" Wen Deji laughed embarrassedly and shut up.
After coaxing the child to sleep, Gu Xiaolu carried the little guy to the back room. After a while, she came out and asked, "Husband, what if this medicine is sold too much and our enemies get it in the future?"
"Hahaha, even if it is obtained by the enemy, although it will definitely be of some use, but it is of no great use. In this era, we cannot win a war by relying on more and more advanced technological weapons, and by relying only on the short-term explosion of the physical element and the spiritual atomic bomb. Moreover, the side effects of this kind of thing are very large, and you have to lie down for a few days after using it once, and you will be wasted if you use it a few more times. Wen Deji smiled.
Regarding Gu Xiaolu's concerns, he was not worried at all, even if this kind of thing was sold crazy, it would not cause much obstacle to his career. During the Pacific War of World War II, the Japanese army used a large number of such drugs, and everyone was given methamphetamine.
At that time, the Japanese army was similar to the current Italian army, and when the Japanese army fought with the American army, it was fierce and demoralized, and in the face of the overwhelming firepower of the American army, it often launched suicidal charges. But once these guys become captives, they are completely different from each other, and they become very depressed and extremely depressed. Moreover, for the interrogation of the US military, they either did not pay attention to it at all, or they said something, they were absolutely honest and never lied.
At the beginning, the strange expression of the Japanese army made Americans feel that the Japanese were really a people with incomprehensible contradictions. It wasn't until later that it was discovered that the Japanese army was taking drugs. At the same time, the Japanese army also proved with facts that even if they took drugs, they were useless, and they were not bulldozed by various "seas" of the United States, and the flesh could never defeat steel.
And most importantly, this type of drug is usually the more garbage the army, the better the effect of use, and the better it is used. For qualified armies, their amplification effect is minimal. Also, it only increases courage and physical qualities, but it does not increase the level of training. If it is fed on a group of poorly trained cannon fodder, then the probability that they will rush forward and die is far greater than the probability that they will defeat the enemy army.
Even if they give the elite drugs, they can indeed increase their combat effectiveness during the effect of the drug, which will cause some trouble to the opponent, just like the Japanese did in the Pacific War, but it is only a trouble and not a threat. And this will also turn this army into a disposable army, because the effect of these drugs is all achieved by overdrawing the body, and after such a war, even if it is not dead, it will be useless.
However, these have nothing to do with Mr. Wen, and he doesn't care about the lives of Italians. He sold these things to the Italians, in addition to selling them for money, because he didn't want the Japanese to win too easily. In the previous battle, the Italians were so unbelievable that the Japanese army looked like they were marching in arms rather than fighting a world war, which made the spectators angry.
It's not good, there's nothing to sing about, it's a blood-boiling battle, it's an incomplete world war.
.................................................................................
Replenished by six French colonial divisions, Akiyama grew in strength, and after a series of fierce battles, on March 23, he finally captured Milan, an important city in northern Italy. However, the Italian Second Army was also glorious in defeat, and they showed great courage and sacrifice in this battle, which almost completely changed the world's perception that "the Italian Army cannot fight".
In this battle of Milan, the Italian Second Army, which had ten divisions, had eight divisions exhausted, and the remaining two divisions were also scattered, with more than half of the casualties. But their sacrifice was not in vain, the six French colonial divisions sent by Xia Fei to help were all finished, the five Japanese divisions as the main force also suffered heavy casualties, and many of the wings were still able to stand in the end with less than 100 people.
According to post-war statistics, more than 100,000 Italian troops were killed, 7,000 were captured, and at least 40,000 were wounded. However, although the Entente won the war, it was also a pyrrhic victory. The six French colonial divisions were almost completely wiped out, with 85,000 killed, and in the end there were less than 4,000 left, most of whom were French officers, and the rest were mostly wounded. Nearly 60,000 people were killed in the five Japanese divisions, and more than 30,000 were wounded.
In other words, although the Japanese occupied Milan as they wished, they were unable to launch a new offensive in the short term. Italy was the same, such a large casualty was also a very serious loss for them, so they turned to the Allies for help on the one hand, and organized a defense on the other. However, after obtaining the [Source of Courage] magic medicine, the Italian generals finally no longer have to worry about the morale of their subordinates.
In the same way, the Japanese also had a lot of scruples after learning that Italy had this drug, and they did not want to fight this drug army again in a short time. After all, they are strictly speaking just British and French mercenaries, and in the eyes of the Japanese, we are now worthy of this commission in the two important towns of Italy, and we can't afford to pay for our employers.
The Japanese also contacted the Aegis company not long ago, and also got a batch of [Source of Courage] and other medicines. However, they also found side effects of these things. But they only bought some [Source of Courage] for use in times of crisis, and did not intend to use them in peacetime like Italy. This is also very normal, anyway, they need to fight so hard for Britain and France? As for the other medicines, such as those that increase concentration and refresh the mind, although the effect is better than what they are using now, the price is too expensive, so there is no need to purchase them in large quantities.
However, the intelligence of this S.H.I.E.L.D. was also known to Britain and France. Their attitude towards the war was not as negative as that of Japan, so they were very interested in these medicines. They directly placed a large order with Aegis and asked for the purchase of patents and production rights. Of course, patents are certainly not sold, and medicines can be offered in large quantities.
If it had been another time, Britain and France would have mobilized their own forces and destroyed this unknown company. But not now, Mexico is clearly in the US sphere of influence. Britain and France want to do something here, but they will not give face to the United States, and how dare they offend the United States at this time.
And it is not possible to ask the United States to help put pressure, this company also has backers in the United States, but it is not like a sling that can be carried out. Someone in the State Council here just put forward a motion, and the old legislators over there began to call for it, and as soon as the big hats such as "free trade" and "intellectual property rights" were buttoned, the State Council stopped, and they couldn't do it against those old men for such a trivial matter. Besides, Britain and France have money, let alone ask us to help them save this little money for medicine?
These roads couldn't go through, so Britain and France had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it, and obediently pay for medicine.
The main reason why they paid so much attention to these medicines was because during the Battle of Milan, the Italian army's cousins were too eye-catching. Seeing that this waste firewood was actually reborn and became an army that was not afraid of death, this has already proved the value of this drug. Later, after contacting Aegis, they also bought a batch of medicines to implement it.
After a try, Britain and France were also very satisfied. In this battle of Milan, six French colonial divisions were the test subjects, and they also changed their previous laziness and decadence to become extremely brave. Therefore, in this battle, the six French colonial divisions were almost exhausted, which would have been absolutely impossible before. These colonial troops were notoriously unreliable and demoralized, and it was not bad to be able to maintain their combat effectiveness even after a tenth of the casualties.
So Britain and France were tempted. That's right, the side effects of this medicine are very big, but what does it matter? If you use it for your own soldiers, it may be a little unworthy, but if you use it for those cannon fodder such as Heishu millet and Ah San, it will be another matter. Wouldn't it be better to raise the morale of these cannon fodder? As for how many people will die as a result, the British and French top brass do not care at all. In their eyes, these colonial troops are nothing more than consumables, not even people, but only talking tools.
Britain and France began to increase the intensity of colonial conscription, originally because these people were demoralized, their initiative was extremely poor, and they were a little reluctant to even be cannon fodder, so Britain and France were not enthusiastic about this. But now with this miracle drug, it would be foolish not to use special colonial troops.
As a result, a large number of Black Shu millets, Asan and Indochinese were recruited by the British and French, and after two to three months of training, they were loaded onto ships and transported to Europe to fill the trenches. Compared with the original time and space, the number of soldiers recruited by the Allied countries in the colonies has increased by at least a hundred times, causing a large number of casualties among the people of the colonies, which is also the fuse for the surging colonial independence movement after the war.
These are the things that will not be mentioned for the time being.
But long after the February Revolution broke out in Russia, the Yankees finally couldn't sit still. On 30 March, the US Government formally lodged a protest with Germany, demanding that the other side stop its unrestricted submarine warfare, otherwise the United States would not rule out the possibility of using force. As soon as these words came out, the world was in an uproar.
After Wen Deji learned about it, he just said lightly: "The Yankees are going to end......"
