Sending four Fantasy-class ships to retaliate against the United States is only the first step in participating in the war, but what is really related to China's pace of entering the war depends on the other aspect, the navy can only attack, can only use sea supremacy, help the Chinese occupy a certain advantage, and really solve the problem depends on the army, only when the army really lands can the problem be solved and can China expand its huge territory.

Whether China wants it or not, China has entered a state of war, although it is still calm at present, under the precautionary measures, it is still necessary to expand the army, China's territory is too huge, even if the world's major powers are very far away from China, they cannot prepare the other side to take risks, besides, Russia and Japan are still eyeing each other.

At the end of 1915, because of the declaration of war by the Entente countries, the entire international situation changed, before, only Europe was fighting, and the United States was only involved in it, and now another influential power was dragged into the war, which was still in Asia, and even the United States' means of dealing with Chinese Americans, resulting in irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, so will China and the United States directly fight each other, Asia, the Americas, will also be shrouded in war.

If the United States, Britain and France declared war on China, the happiest is Japan, after the outbreak of the war, Japan wanted to seize the colony of Shandong, and chose to take action against China, but was defeated by the northwest, the army and navy were almost severely damaged, and it was easy to recover.

China was finally reunified, and China also proved that it would grow into a superpower with its strong strength, which made Japan accept, the distance between China and Japan was too close, and Japan was after the Meiji Restoration. With the help of the international situation, China suddenly woke up when it was about to set foot on the mainland and acquire a huge territory. Once this large country with a large enough territory, a long history, and an endless population completes industrialization, it is simply not something that a small country like Japan can deal with.

But at this time, Britain, France and the United States, the giants of the three Entente countries. Declaring war on China, as if it were a huge backstage, supported Japan, and as long as China was destroyed by Britain, France, and the United States, Japan still had a chance to emerge.

Compared to the family, Russia, which is in a state of war with China, is not as happy as Japan, and it should have been when Russia and China were in a state of war. Britain, France and the United States, which declared war, are now declaring war. Their purpose is not to help Russia at all, after two years of war, a huge number of people have been sacrificed, and the whole of Siberia has still been lost, and Russia has almost suffered heavy losses, but it has been attacked in Russia. Even Baku is occupied, and no country has made the effort to lend a helping hand and use Russia as a gun, even after Russia knows the purpose of the United States. Wanting a piece of the pie was refused, the Americans even demanded that Russia pay off its previous arrears.

The inconsistencies of the Entente countries prove something, Russia has little effect, they no longer even see him as an alliance of the same grade, but they can't deal with it based on the alliance, otherwise they may start.

Russia's mentality, so that Russia directly in the next war, passive response, in the next 2 years, only passive defense, did not launch a large-scale war, of course, it is also related to the current strength of Russia, at most only more than 4 million mobilization capacity, there is not enough weapons and equipment, they can only protect themselves.

The land of China, Siberia is only in the process of development, has not become the focus of conscription, other places, divided into 4 regions, northwest, northeast, north China, south China and southwest, of which, northwest, north and south China is the focus, before the establishment of China, the entire China more than 7 percent of the population, concentrated in the northwest, after the establishment of China, I suppressed the population, a large number of people returned to their hometowns, but also set off a wave of construction in the non-northwest region, and finally the current traditional densely populated areas of China, North and South China, The population became second only to the Northwest existence.

Conscription requires population, so in densely populated places, the greater the intensity of conscription, and Cai Yi and other high-ranking military officials have gone to different areas to carry out conscription work.

China's huge population, without wartime mobilization, if according to the wartime mobilization, with one-tenth of the mobilization capacity, China itself can now recruit 52 million people, this figure, more than the total population of France during the First World War.

The mobilization of 50 million levels, in the First World War, did not play a big role, China is far away from the core of the European war, to send troops up, can only go by sea, from the mainland to the Arabian Peninsula, and then through the 3B railway to Europe, or simply from Russia, the former is too far away, from China around Malacca to the Middle East is thousands of kilometers away, as for the latter, it seems that China has already gotten Yekaterinburg, only one step away from the European part of Russia, However, the Ural Mountains are like a natural danger in front of him, and as long as Russia slightly blocks the pass of the Ural Mountains, it can resist the Chinese troops, and it is a death to forcibly attack this side before the Trans-Siberian Railway has no complete price.

There is no need for wartime general mobilization, but a slight increase, it is still possible, only need to put some second-line troops and reserves into the army, under the premise of a small increase in a certain amount of conscription, China can pull up 12 million army, plus 4 million Lan army, 16 million army, can crown the world.

After all, modern warfare, especially a mechanized war like China, has huge pressure on logistics, plus China needs to supply the entire Entente with materials, and there are more requirements for industry.

This not only ensures the number of troops, but also does not have much impact on China's industrial production, this is the real conscription, because of the strong number, even if China has long been prepared, can greatly expand the troops, can be the Chinese field army for soldiers, even if the outbreak of the world war, did not lower the requirements, therefore, the new troops into the army, at least one year, which means that China may not really get involved in the world war until a year later.

Of course, before the large-scale expansion of the army, China already had a total of 6 million field troops, these troops need about 5 million to hold the country, 3 million on the Russian front, and the remaining 2 million will be stationed in the whole of China, then you can use 1 million people, although this part of the personnel is not much, but with the continuation of training and the replacement of a small part, in the next three months, you can transfer 1 million people, this number is quite considerable.

Cai Ye and others, in various places the efficiency of conscription is also quite high, itself, China's army is the most admired object of the people, not only to protect the homeland and defend the country, in daily life, but also from time to time, almost when there are natural disasters, there are the appearance of the army, with the help of the media, joining the army, has become the most desired thing for many people, but the requirements of the army have always been relatively high, each recruitment of personnel is not much.

Now that the recruitment conditions have been opened, the number has been doubled, which is already beyond the norm for the speed of China's military expansion, and the registration has suddenly begun to flow endlessly.

Located in the major cities of the registration point, every day a large number of people come, densely populated large cities, will set up a few more registration points, to meet more registration needs, in some small counties and even villages, will popularize some mobile registration points, although the current rural China, most of the land is controlled by the production and construction corps, but there are also some like agriculture, or in the suburbs, specifically for the supply of urban vegetable farmers.

Compared with the food crops that can be produced on a large scale, growing vegetables consumes more labor, and is not very suitable for mechanized production, if it was a few years ago, when China did not develop, China's vegetables, most of which were planted in vegetable gardens, were also regarded as some sideline hustles of farmers, but with mechanized production, China's demand for farmers is getting less and less, and the vegetable garden model has been unable to supply more and more vegetable needs in China.

Compared with China in the past, China now has improved its identity registration information, and China's high welfare depends on the issuance of these registration information, which is the most basic condition for serving as a soldier.

At present, the household registration information is quite complete, including not only basic information, such as gender, address, place of origin, family relations, etc., but also includes personal education, technical level, which is also closely related to various benefits, unless someone can endure the pain of long-term low welfare, just to become a member of the army.

Such a will can already be called very resolute, for such a will, as long as it is not a particularly important scientific research personnel, or a technician above the seventh level, in principle, they are allowed to enter the army, and even these people with unique skills enter the army, it is also useful, whether it is the maintenance of the armored corps, or the special military field, such high-tech personnel are needed.

However, this time the call-up, the figure of 6 million, is more of a field army, in addition to the decision of the officers at the strategic level, the world war is indispensable to the fight of the low-level soldiers, and the quantity is almost as important as the quality. (To be continued.) )
