E: The second watch asks for votes......

September 9, 255 (1914).

This year's summer is hot, the war in Europe reached ** in July, the two sides are fighting in full swing, so that the onlookers are addicted, this is a veritable "hot summer".

On the Western Front, the Anglo-French forces firmly held the line of Caen-Le Mans-Orleans-Saône, and once counterattacked Versailles, but were driven back within two days. Seeing that Erdezi was too capable of fighting, the Anglo-French forces had to concentrate on defense, and they built a strong defensive line on the bank with the help of rivers such as the Loire and the Saône. War is the best teacher, can ⊥ people learn what they want to learn the quickest, the British and French forces after a series of deflated, hundreds of thousands of lives, also adapted to the rhythm of the Germans, and a lot of new tactics have been revealed.

Their defense line is particularly perverted, completely beyond the level of the original time and space war, at least reaching the level of the second world war. In the face of the British and French tactics of the turtle not coming out, the Germans also felt a big headache, and they could not do anything about these perverted defense systems. The main thing is that with the arrival of 6 new Chinese aircraft and the appearance of licensed fighters, the sky is no longer dominated by the Germans, and it is no longer feasible to easily destroy the defense line with airships, as in the war.

In order to deal with the bombing of the German airships, the British drove a special interceptor called "Robin Hood" on the basis of the J-"Swift". Two 7 mm machine guns were replaced with a 2 mm cannon, and a white phosphorus incendiary bomb was used in a frenzied manner. In the air battle on July 3, the Robin Hood interceptor was used to turn 14 large German airships into fireballs with white phosphorus incendiary bombs. (In the history of the original time and space, the British ** team used white phosphorus bombs for the first time in 196)

White phosphorus incendiary bombs are not very high-tech in the first place, that is, a matter of thinking. After Erdezi suffered this loss, he immediately concocted the same thing and made the same thing. Due to the level of technology at that time, this powerful thing could not be mass-produced, but it was used to equip some interceptors and deal with enemy airships.

As a result, a large number of airships of both countries were shot down. Niu Niu's brains opened up this time, which made Mr. Wen extremely depressed, because the myth of "airship winning theory" that he painstakingly made up went bankrupt, and this time the strategy fooled the shameful failure bird.

For China, it is harmless to just fail the foolish plan, but for the warring parties, it is a big deal. This means that the risk of using airships has increased dramatically, and they will no longer dare to use them as unscrupulously as before.

The biggest impact was Germany, without which they would not have a good way to effectively and quickly destroy the opponent's fortifications, so the war seemed to have returned to the original time and space, the kind of desperate and extremely bloody trench warfare. Of course, compared to the original time and space, the situation in Germany is much better, but Britain and France are struggling.

Because of its military cooperation with China, this Germany has a lot more weapons for trench warfare than the Germany of the original time and space, such as mortars, explosive projectiles (regular version of the conscienceless gun), submachine guns, shotguns, flamethrowers, etc., as well as new tactics corresponding to breaking through the trenches. Relying on these things, the German army's attack power was at least more than doubled, inflicting far more heavy losses on the Anglo-French army than the original time and space.

By the end of B, more than 450,000 French troops had been killed, more than 20,000 British troops had been killed, more than 10,000 wounded in both armies, and 20,000 had been in prisoner of war camps. While Germany not only had new weapons and tactics, but also imported a large number of high-quality medicines, new medical equipment, and advanced medical technology (mainly blood transfusions and surgeries) obtained from China, the losses of the German army were much lower than those of the original time and space, with only 20,000 killed and 30,000 wounded.

On the Eastern Front, although the German army was only a partial division, the results were also brilliant, they annihilated 570,000 Russian troops in several battles at the cost of 10,000 killed and 40,000 wounded, and the peak of troops reached Warsaw.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was also more powerful than in the original time and space, although it did not defeat the Russian army, but it also fought back and forth, and with the assistance of Bulgaria, they basically stabilized the southern front and were in a tug-of-war with Russia. The casualties on both sides reached more than 20,000.

Judging by the current situation, both the Entente and the Central Powers are engaged in a brutal war of attrition. In less than four months after the start of the war, the number of casualties on both sides exceeded 2o, which was also the largest and most brutal war in the history of mankind.

Now the warring countries have fully switched to the wartime system, and most of the production capacity is used to produce military materials, and the civilian ones are not taken care of, anyway, at this time both sides still have money, and they have no energy to produce things to buy in the international market. Especially Niu Niu, the dignified empire on which the sun never sets, the first brother in the world, and some of them are rich. The rooster is usury imperialism and the master of money.

However, fighting a war not only requires money, but also people, and no one fights a hair. At this time, the population of Germany on the side of the Central Powers was 660,000, Austria-Hungary 660,000, and Bulgaria 450,000. On the Entente side, the population of England was 4.66 million, France only 380,000, and Russia had the most, with 1.73 million. According to this method of death, the first to be unable to hold on must be France, although the losses of Russia are greater, but they have a large population, and gray cattle are overwhelming, and they can afford to die.

During the war, a large number of men who participated in the war were directly involved in the front-line war, and the domestic labor force was greatly reduced, especially in France, which really couldn't stand it, and Britain also felt that there was a shortage of manpower. So on the one hand, they mobilized "half the sky" into the factories to replace men in labor production. On the other hand, a large number of workers are imported from abroad.

In the original time and space, China was the main wrongdoer, and successively recruited 140,000 Chinese laborers to work hard for the Entente. Chinese hard labor is often the heaviest and most demanding type of work in factories. Almost all of the 60,000 Chinese laborers recruited by the British were sent to the front line, digging trenches, building fortifications, field rescue, exhuming corpses, clearing mines, building roads and bridges, transporting grain and grass, and loading and unloading supplies. At that time, a Chinese coolie signed a contract for one year of work, 1o hours a day, no days off, and a daily wage of one franc. The local population was not kind to them, and the British beat them with sticks, like dogs. The hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work is on their heads. The shells fired by the British army during World War I, due to poor technology, 3 landed and did not explode, and it was naturally from the Chinese to clean up these shells on the battlefield. According to the statistics of the Chinese Legation, among the Chinese workers serving in the British army at that time, there were 996 deaths with names and surnames. By the end of the war, only 110,000 Chinese laborers had left Europe and returned to their homeland.

Of course, this kind of thing will not happen in this plane, Wen Desi is not the kind of people who shake m Lao Tzu, why should the Chinese people give you foreign devils their lives? Dignitaries? Phew, the windows are all wooden, not to mention the door, not to mention the compatriots of their own country, even if it is those free labor who refuse to integrate, Mr. Wen is reluctant to send out, so many construction projects in China, the manpower demand is huge, and he is not enough, how can he help the European white skin?

However, there are still people rushing to do what China is unwilling to do......

Presidential palace.

"What? Japan is going to send 6 divisions of troops, 60,000 laborers, and 1o million female workers to Britain and France to help out?" Wen Desi's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Grandma's, are they all crazy? Is this information reliable?"

"The intelligence can be confirmed to be true. The current Japanese high-level is indeed crazy, they are poor and crazy..."Cavour replied with a mocking face: "Mr. Wen, now Japan's domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, and the rice riots are one after another, and they can no longer withstand it......"

Zhang Lizheng said with a smile: "Hehe, although the Yamamoto Gonbei cabinet has rolled down with infamy, it has left a lot of messes, and it has only been more than a year now, and it has changed the cabinet, but in my opinion, no one in Japan now has the ability to clean up this mess, and then it will be like this bird." ”

Vice Prime Minister and Finance Minister Xiao Tu also joked and said: "Yes, the compensation given to us, as well as a lot of debt owed to European and American consortia, is enough for them to drink." Oh, by the way, it seems that they haven't paid off their debts in the Russo-Japanese War. ”

Cavour said with a smile: "This time, in order to pull Japan into the water, the Entente also made a bloody investment, 30 million pounds of free aid, 100 million pounds of interest-free loans, and 50 million pounds of material orders. For these things, Japan has no choice but to work hard for Boss Niu. ”

As the Minister of Finance, Xiao Tu is first concerned about money, the second is still about money, and third, of course, money. When he heard this, he said, "Good fellow, it is really a bloody investment." But think about the time when Japan was a thug against Britain against Russia, Britain didn't give a penny, and Japan still brought its own dog food to help the master work hard, and now this investment is nothing, it's just a fairer deal......"

In addition, Britain called up three divisions in Australia and Canada, 33 divisions in India, and mobilized 80,000 laborers from the colonies...... The French also conscripted 2 divisions and 40,000 laborers in their colonies, including 6 divisions and 20,000 laborers in French Indochina......" Cafu continued.

Xin Jie pondered for a moment and said: "Australia is only 49o people now, Canada is only 75o thousand, but 24o people have to recruit 3 divisions, which is almost the limit. Although India's population is large, there is no problem in recruiting 3o divisions, but now the situation in India is unstable, and they dare not adjust more, and the same is true for South Africa......"

"Isn't that good? Let them bleed a lot is ......," Zhang Lizheng said gloomily.

"That's right, let's continue to sell things, although the Entente has recruited so many colonial troops, the materials and equipment are definitely not complete, and our military industry can make a profit again. Wen Deji said with a smile.

"Not only are there not enough supplies and equipment, not even enough military uniforms, not even enough troop carriers, most of the fleets of Japan and the United States have already been hired by them......," Cavour said.
