Chapter 13: It's Easy (Revision)
Douglas, who seems to have seen through Xia Fei's thoughts. Haig took a leisurely sip of black tea with his teacup in his hand before he went on to say something that surprised Xia Fei even more.
"If you want me to say that those tanks are only used to compete with our British tanks in the market, as far as I personally believe, the products of the MPM military-industrial complex are naturally better. As for those planes, the Germans had shot down a few of them in front, and it would not be a strange thing if they copied them.
So, for your suspicions, I personally disapprove of them, especially when the big war is approaching. As for Don, I also think he's a bastard, and a bastard who makes more money than the Jews, isn't it my general! Besides......"
Speaking of which, Douglas. Haig paused deliberately, wanting to see if Xia Fei's reaction to his words was as he had guessed.
Sure enough, compared to Tang Yunyang, he was more willing to believe in the commander of the British Allied forces in front of him. After all, there is a powerful empire standing behind him, and I believe that with his support, everything will be much easier.
"What's more? …… My God, are you not at all worried about such an unruly fellow, and who is likely to do business with both warring sides at the same time. If he sells newer weapons to the other party......"
In the future crisis, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force in front of him did not seem to be in a hurry at all, which made Xia Fei feel incredible. He waved his arms and the cigar in his hand was in Douglas. Haig's eyes fluttered.
See it all, Douglas. Haig only smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, as he saw the reaction he wanted to see, so he continued with the words he had just paused.
"Besides, he is an American merchant, and you, my general, seem to have forgotten that everything he did in France began entirely with you. If anything happens between you and him now, I believe I will lose the most from you.
In addition, it seems that he also started the Z tone radio station in the United States, with his influence in the United States, will the Americans side with us? Perhaps, who knows! Even if we intend to do anything about the war at hand, I think we should wait until after the battle of the Somme is over, what do you think, my general? ”
Douglas. Haig's analysis made Xia Fei feel both discouraged and a glimmer of hope in the distant and unattainable future.
The defeat at Jutland in front of him almost made him lose the will to continue fighting. In that case, it would certainly be difficult for Britain to send more troops without supplies at sea, and France's overseas shipping would inevitably be threatened by the German "Ocean Fleet".
If the war dragged on like this, he could not have imagined that France would still be able to stand on top of the world after the war. Can Douglas. Haig ignored his worries, and continued to speak in his unhurried English accent.
"Also, you should see the more distant future. As far as I can see, Don will eventually leave here, and he will go back to China. Because he was never an American, he was a Chinese! ”
Douglas. Haig's words suddenly reminded Xia Fei of Mike. Everything Lang had ever told him, or some kind of hostility he had towards Tang Yunyang, had started at that time.
"If this eagle-like soldier goes back to China...... That would be a terrible thing! ”
For some reason, every time Xia Fei thinks about this question, it will always be such an answer. Obviously, Douglas. Although Haig didn't know about it, his analysis of this matter made Xia Fei can't help but admire him.
"So how many endings are there? Once he had gained control of the continent, and there was nothing out of the question of building a powerful fleet with his abilities. Even if he is very powerful, I have to ask, where does he want to expand? Pacific Ocean! Indian Ocean! Or is it about courage with polar bears?
The Pacific Ocean had long been favored by the Americans, and the Don had to deal with an opponent far more powerful than the ancient and weakened empire he had inherited.
As for the Indian Ocean, I don't think the British Empire will be happy that they meddle there either. Even in the North Pacific, there is still Japan guarding them. Seriously, I really don't see why he worries you so much.
Besides, whatever you wish, I would like to advise you to do it again after the Battle of the Somme, when we will also have our hands free, and everything will be easy. ”
At this point, there is no need to continue. Since the land was contested with France after the war, there was hardly much more to conflict. On the contrary, if China were to expand, it would provoke the other three great powers of the world.
With the exception of Vietnam, Xia Fei really doesn't see anything worth China's efforts to do in Vietnam compared to the above three places. Moreover, he also believed that an expanding China would definitely provoke the attacks of other powers. Because that would threaten the colonies of all Western powers in the East, and would make China a popular country among the great powers.
This overly "long-term" scenario is put to rest, and there is no need to think downward. Now that Xia Fei was relieved, their conversation immediately shifted to the upcoming Battle of the Somme.
"Seriously, I'm a little worried about your soldiers, how can they easily deal with the strong bunkers of the Germans without tanks? According to our reconnaissance, the Germans seem to have sensed our movements and are desperately strengthening their fortifications.
Speaking of which, I cannot fail to mention that in the Battle of Verdun, your soldiers were disappointed not to blow up the components of the Great Wall of China, and now the Germans seem to be copying them. Therefore, I had to send a telegram to London to inform them that the Germans had worked tirelessly to turn these fortifications into impregnable fortresses. ”
Douglas. Haig's frank criticism of the French army made Xia Fei feel unhappy.
"Sir, sir, you know it's hard to avoid it on the battlefield, just like the planes that caused the British Navy a big loss, and since we're at war, the Germans will always learn something. I only hope to kill them before they learn more! ”

Douglas. Haig shrugged indispensably.
"My general, just say what we should do, our British Expeditionary Force is ready for all attacks. Always at your disposal for your instructions. ”
Xia Fei took a puff on his cigar and puffed out a thick smoke as he said, "I think we'll have to hurry, we'd better get started before the Germans have strengthened the defenses!" ”
The conversation between the two commanders not only decided the life and death of tens of millions of British, French, and German soldiers, but even they seemed to determine the future world pattern.
