Chapter 14: The Tao Is Different (Repair)
After talking with Xia Fei, sitting in a four-wheel drive jeep produced in large quantities by MPM Military Industrial Group, Douglas. Haig galloped towards his headquarters.
Facing the wind in the early summer, the heat was already uncomfortable, and he smoked a cigar and was silent.
As an officer from the cavalry, he is more like a soldier than Xia Fei. He always has a gun on his military uniform, and a machine gun on his jeep. Even when he got into the car, he was willing to wear a flat-topped steel helmet like the soldiers on his head.
That's Douglas. Haig, the last thing he wants to do. That is, he was isolated from ordinary soldiers by his own rank and title.
As for the conversation he had with him in Xia Fei's headquarters, there is no doubt that Xia Fei and he both knew that there were truths and falsehoods in those words. At the moment of interest, it is not worth a penny.
"I've already made a statement, it's up to him to react!"
In order to coordinate the attack, the British and French forces were not so far away. And since the formation of the Allied Command, Douglas . . . Haig's residence was not far away, and unlike Xiafei's place, British guards were used there.
In other words, there should have been no infiltration of the Thunder International intelligence agencies here. As for Xia Fei, the French Military Intelligence Agency has played a lot of good scenes, which has long made him suspicious.
He guessed correctly, where he was talking to Xia Fei, sure enough, there were ears on the wall, and they were electronic ears. The bugging device that attaches to the wall like a suction cup is both simple and practical.
As agents of the Second Military Intelligence Agency of France, it should be a great honor to spy on Xia Fei for the safety and freedom of France under the orders of Colonel Picard.
Immediately, the news was converted into ciphercode and flew to the radio station of Colonel Picard's Second Military Intelligence Bureau, and then ......
Now, Douglas. Haig was waiting for a reply for the sake of Britain. Moreover, the person who set the scope for his attitude in this matter is not a small person.
He had just stepped down as commander of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scottish Mauser Regiment and had given up his rank of lieutenant colonel to return to Parliament. Churchill. Politically, he had just received some promises that he didn't know if they could be trusted. He would re-enter the cabinet and become Quartermaster.
What a wonderful thing fate is, the current Secretary of State for the Army, Liberal Party Leader Lloyd. George. If history had not changed because of the appearance of Tang Yunyang, then he would have been the one who ascended the British prime minister after the Battle of the Somme.
As for Winston. Why did Churchill give Douglas. Haig, the army's commander, has more advice, which may involve him and the future prime minister, the current secretary of war, Lloy. George has quite a relationship. If you want to be clear, you can't help but go too far. Let's see how he points to Douglas. Haig's.
"Sir, it cannot be denied that the losses suffered by the Royal Navy this time are very great, but I think we have to look at the longer term. As it stands, we have to prove something in the Somme, and whether we win or lose this battle, the use of the tank can be proven, and I personally believe in that, so the victory of the tank is the victory of all of us. It's important to note that no matter what anyone says, it's a premise!
And if that American company really is giving Germany more new weapons to help them win the war. Combined with what you told me, it is highly likely that he was preparing for the future of seeking power in China.
But now everything can't be confirmed, so well, we have to assume that he thinks so.
Now, judging from his ultimate aim, the war in Europe, whether we or the Allies win, is a matter of irrelevance. What he needs is money and more talent, which we can give him, and we can bid more than the Germans, as long as he has more new weapons that have come out of nowhere.
As for the war, it is the French who are to be worried about now, us! It is enough for us to get the affairs of our Navy right! ”
Douglas. Haig knew that this nominal subordinate, although he had been placed as a minister at the end of the parliament because of the Battle of the Dardanelles, was in fact a very shrewd man.
It's like when he heard that the MPM military-industrial complex was producing more and more powerful tanks, although he still said that the absolute secret was not yet revealed, he tried to urge these weapons to be transported to the battlefield as soon as possible.
"Politicians are visionaries!"
As a military man, Douglas. Haig adhered to his own ethics and kept his distance from politics as much as possible. Of course, for political matters, they will keep a clear understanding and ensure that their own path is not "out of the group".
From Churchill's words, he also heard from the Secretary of War Lloyd. George's intentions. For them, instead of taking any action against the "tightrope walker", they have to get some tacit agreement with him.
The unspoken words were: "If he can give to the Germans, then he can also give us, especially with regard to new equipment in the navy!" ”
Because of these, Douglas. When Haig talks to Xia Fei, he takes a procrastination approach to what he wants to do. As for whether he will cooperate with Xia Fei to do something after the Battle of Somme in the future. That would have to depend on the outcome of the Battle of the Somme.

"They made those water attack aircraft for the Germans and deprived our navy of superiority. If they only had anti-aircraft weapons to deal with such an attack, then there would be no need for them to exist! But ......"
As he inhaled his rich cigar smoke in the mild early summer wind, his car jolted slightly. Just one small bump made him change his mind instantly.
"Hmph, I think there must be something better for a company that can produce a car like this!"
As far as weapons are concerned, they can only be used in both spear and shield. So, Douglas missed, since the Germans, relying on air power, could inflict heavy losses on the British Navy. Then this "research strength" is unfathomable, and the MPM military-industrial complex, which is full of high-quality products, must also be able to provide weapons corresponding to this.
"I think the war will be fought on a much larger scale, or I would have made a mistake!"
On the avenue facing was a group of British soldiers who had just left for the battlefield. In addition to their basin-like steel helmets, among the weapons on their bodies, they saw the Stern submachine gun and the armored car.
Take a look, Douglas. Haig waved to the soldiers who greeted him on the side of the road, and a sentence came to his mind.
"What did they prepare for the navy of the British Empire?"
