"This is bustling Europe?" As soon as Huang Wenhua got off the plane, he looked left and right for a long time, but what he saw was a group of heavily armed Germans near the airport.

On January 3, 44, the first Chinese peacekeeping force arrived in Greece on a transport plane.

"Don't look around, it looks like we're like dirt buns." Luo Bo muttered quietly behind him, "What's wrong with Europe?" Hundreds of years ago, our China was the most prosperous place in the world. Chang'an, Luoyang, Yanjing, Kaifeng, which one is not better than the current London and Paris? ”

"Don't talk to each other, remember your current identity, you are a soldier from Huaxia to keep the peace, and you represent a glory of Huaxia!" Hong Xingguan, the battalion commander who led the team in the rear, said with a straight face.

Ren Huang Wenhua and Luo Bo were already colonel-level officers, and they could only listen obediently at this time.

In this regiment-level Chinese peacekeeping force, almost all of them are elite, and the colonel-level officers are even more grasped. But at this time, he could only be summoned as a lieutenant by the third level.

As the first Chinese army to go to Europe, Meng Xiang must not be careless, besides, their task is not only to peacekeep, but also to explore the way to Europe, and the quality required is naturally very high.

Peacekeeping forces do not seem to be the preserve of the United Nations in later generations.

At this time and even earlier, when many Western countries interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, they often used similar banners.

However, Meng Xiang's peacekeeping force was sent to Europe after negotiating with the Germans on many terms.

The reason why the Germans agreed so happily was mainly because the terms of the Chinese army were very favorable, and it seemed that they really went to maintain peace. Although it also meant to protect Chinese businessmen and Chinese in Europe, it did not mean to meddle in local political affairs and military affairs. To put it bluntly, it is to be a policeman who maintains wartime order.

Otherwise. How could the Germans easily agree to the Chinese army coming to Europe to pick fruits?

Even if the situation on the front line is unfavorable for them. Even though they really hoped that the Chinese army would support them, they were still a little afraid of the Chinese army when it came to Europe.

After all. Europe is a white man's world. Bringing the army of the yellow race to Europe would be detrimental to their propaganda and domination.

Perhaps it would be okay for China to contain it from the Ural Mountains or Central Asia, although the Germans are now at a disadvantage. But for the sake of urgency, not to mention that Huaxia is not willing to go to Europe to participate in the war now.

The attack launched by the Germans in October really caused the Russians to suffer a lot of losses.

However, the loss of more than one million casualties was not very serious for the Soviet Russians, who were extremely capable of resisting attacks. What's more, the Americans increased their support for Soviet Russia, which made them recover quickly. Coupled with the tempering of the war over the years, the Soviet and Russian armies are not as good as before, and now the two sides are still deadlocked along the North Dvina and Volga rivers.

The great counterattack of the Russians had not yet begun, and the eastern front of the Germans was not tight. The need for Huaxia is less urgent.

On the Western Front, the Germans were playing nervously.

The Americans exerted their strength on the Western Front.

With the huge financial and material resources of the Americans, the Allies attacked Italy from Sicily in early December. At the end of December. The Allies rushed all the way to the vicinity of Naples.

It's not that the Germans weren't strong, it's that the Allies were too strong. More than a million Allied troops were on the ground and sea, and the Axis forces supported by the 400,000 German troops there could not hold on to it.

After Mussolini and the King of Italy tore their faces, the Italian army was already divided, and the state of the Noodle Army could not be expected too much.

In addition, southern Italy is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are many landing sites to choose from, and it is difficult for the Germans, who do not have an advantage in the Mediterranean navy, to cover everything.

Lao Xi also saw these points, and explained that the German army did not mean to hold the southern part of Italy. All he needed was for the Germans to restrain the Allied breakthrough here, and for the Germans to loot the good things from southern Italy.

At this time, Italy's industrial output was comparable to that of the Japanese, and there were many places where the technology was stronger than the Japanese due to the convenience of Europe. There are even some technologies that are among the best in the world. It's just that the struggling Italian economy and the weakness of the army have prevented them from being brought into play.

Meng Xiang is also very keen on these, but he can only rely on spy agents to take advantage of the chaos to pick up leaks, and the Germans directly send troops to rob them.

However, the Germans did not completely abandon Italy, but in the tense situation of the Germans, there was not enough strength to help Mussolini hold on, and Mussolini's time had passed.

Mussolini, who came to power in the twenties, has not brought much improvement to the Italian economy after so many years.

It's not that the Italian army can't fight, but the economy is in dire straits, and the army is difficult to maintain, so that the Italian soldiers have no intention of fighting and fighting for their lives.

The economic difficulties and political corruption had been tired of his theories by the Italians, and after the papacy and the king favored the Allies, Mussolini's righteousness had been lost, and his myth had been shattered, making it difficult for the Germans to save him. At this time, he can only help him defend half of the country.

The northern part of Italy was something that Lao Xi stressed had to defend, and if it was lost, both France and Austria would be threatened.

Especially after Germany annexed Austria and merged it into one, hitting Austria was almost equivalent to hitting Germany proper. This is also the bottom line that Meng Xiang promised before that he could send troops.

The Germans naturally would not let the Allies fight until they reached their doorstep in order to lure China over, they would only continue to transfer troops to fill in the Italian battlefield, anyway, they would not feel distressed if they damaged the flowers and plants on other people's territory.

One of the reasons why the Germans allowed the Chinese peacekeepers to join was that the maintenance of law and order by the Chinese peacekeepers could relieve some of the pressure on the Germans and draw out more troops.

Although the Chinese peacekeepers did not participate in the war, the intention to prohibit the use of force was stronger against the Germans. They preferred to stabilize the occupied areas in the rear, as long as there was no cause of chaos, so that the Germans could continue to supply more products and wealth.

"Are you going to help the evil fascists suppress the resistance in the rear?" The British were the first to jump out and accuse.

"As a neutral country, we do not take sides or interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. We are going for the sake of peace, for the helpless children, women and civilians who have suffered for no reason in the wars in Europe, and our slogan is not to turn the guns of any side at innocent civilians! "What Lao Yan said is high-sounding, but the British can't find fault.

"As long as you allow it, we will also send peacekeepers directly to Birmingham and other places to maintain the safety of civilians there." Lao Yan smiled and said, "The Chinese people are peace-loving!" ”

The British and Germans were in a stalemate around Birmingham, and even if the Chinese army was under the banner of God, the British did not dare to let them go. However, this kind of intimate service of the Chinese government is oriented to both sides, and if you don't accept it, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are biased towards the other side.

Of course, only three-year-olds believe this statement. But now the situation is stronger than people, and under the strength of Huaxia, what can be done if the deer is a horse?

Britain and the United States will not turn their faces with China for these things.

After all, the Huaxia army sent only one division at most, and it would not directly participate in the battle.

They could only force themselves to believe that the Chinese people had come to protect the Chinese merchants.

If it were another time and space, there would be very few Chinese in Europe, and in the event of war, the low-status Chinese would have disappeared a long time ago.

But in this time and space, with the support of a strong point of China, coupled with organized activities, the number of Chinese in Europe has exceeded one million.

Among them, there are not only old overseas Chinese who have lived in Europe for a long time, but also Chinese businessmen who came to look for opportunities after the beginning of Europe, and more Chinese workers organized by the Chinese government.

Chinese workers are very famous in the world, and they are known for being honest and cheap in the eyes of foreigners, but in the eyes of Chinese people, they are the core words of the history of blood and tears.

The development of North America, the South Seas, and even Australia all had the shadow of Chinese workers, but they all ended in tragedy.

Even during World War I, the Beiyang government and some businessmen leased hundreds of thousands of Chinese laborers as a labor commodity to Europe, where labor was in short supply.

However, in the era when Chinese workers were exploited as cattle and sheep, many of these Chinese workers who went to Europe were directly driven to the battlefield and became cannon fodder.

Even those who came back to Ouhua only flipped up a few bubbles on the Chinese calendar, and then disappeared.

However, after the start of the European War, Meng Xiang has organized more than 500,000 Chinese laborers to work in Europe in recent years.

Huaxia not only lacked machinery and technology, but also skilled workers.

And with the fierce war in Europe, a large number of workers were sent to the front line, and a large number of labor were urgently needed.

Under the strict organization and protection of the Chinese government, the Chinese laborers will become qualified skilled workers and even higher level technicians while filling this part of the vacancy.

After all, Europe is the center of scientific and technological civilization, in addition to tens of thousands of Chinese students, after the 500,000 qualified workers who have been tempered in Europe return to China, how big will the effect be? And what will come the 500,000 workers who have opened their horizons in Europe, the epicenter of Western civilization?

Meng Xiang has also been looking forward to it.
