Chapter 921: The Americans Appear

"Although we can't declare war on Germany now, it doesn't mean that we can't participate in the war in Europe, China's attitude towards Germany has changed, if we give up this opportunity, then the United States of America may not be able to further expand its influence for a long time, after two years of war, the Germans are also very tired, we can't wait any longer, only by participating in the war, we can get a share of the future spoils of war!" President Wilson said this anxiously to his subordinates more than once. The clouds of defeat in the Spanish-American War have almost disappeared after more than a decade, and now, the US government has once again mustered up the courage to expand its sphere of influence. And this world war will be the best opportunity in their eyes. President Wilson and a considerable number of American politicians will not give up this opportunity.

Although it was not possible to formally declare war on Germany for various reasons, it was possible to do some things privately, such as sending technicians and workers to the battlefield to provide logistics and medical care, such as sending a fleet to escort American supplies to Europe...... And the most daring and at the same time the most effective way is to form an army of "American volunteers" to go directly to Europe to fight! …。

As for how this "American Volunteer Army" was established, whether it was directly pulled over by changing the US Army into a military uniform, or whether it was composed of all kinds of idle people in society, or whether it was really composed of some volunteers, Xu Jie didn't know and didn't want to know. He had so much to do. But what happened next made Xu Jie have to pay attention to this complex composition and even more difficult to determine the nature of this force, the reason is very simple, after the British decided to use the equipment of the Huaxia Army to arm part of the colonial army and hire Huaxia instructors, the US government also officially hoped that Huaxia could train this force in Huaxia through diplomatic channels!

This diplomatic note caused an uproar in the Chinese Army. After Russia was completely knocked down. The imaginary enemies of the Chinese Army became Germany and the United States. The former may clash with China in Russia, while the latter may find its own trouble in the Pacific direction. Coupled with the fact that the resource endowment of the United States is indeed perverted. Therefore, the Chinese army is worried about cultivating an enemy of its own. And Xu Jie was also a little undecided because of this. I know that the current US Army, as in history, is in an extremely weak state, not only in terms of equipment and scale, but also because it does not have a set of its own operational ideas. Especially artillery. Almost for some time after the 1st World War, France was copied. Whether an army is strong or not depends not only on its equipment and personnel, but also on whether it has a set of advanced operational concepts. For example, in the German army of World War 2 in history, the cards in the hands of the Germans when they attacked France were not very good. However, relying on the operational idea of blitzkrieg, the French ......... were quickly killed.

But after some thought, Xu Jie decided that it was okay to teach Americans in some aspects. There is even the possibility of taking the other party into the ditch! The tactics developed by Huaxia for Britain and France were actually extremely limited. First of all, this set of tactical ideas can only be used in defensive operations, and only in defensive operations in areas such as Western Europe, which are easily accessible. Wheeled armored vehicles have poor passability. It is awkward to leave a mature road system, and the biggest selling point of these mobile defense vehicles is high speed and heavy firepower. Without high speed, the first thing is to cut off half of the advantage!

Imagine what would happen if in Eastern Europe or elsewhere such wheeled armored vehicles launched offensive operations? First of all, some cars will get stuck in the mud. Secondly, let these thin-skinned and stuffed Dongdong Chong war anti-artillery, isn't it nine deaths? It's better now, if it develops for more than 20 years, the infantry even has bazookas and recoilless guns, isn't it for nothing to fight this thing? In later generations, the US imperialists relied on absolute air superiority and wanted to engage in a rapid reaction brigade. He planned to use wheeled armored vehicles to attack everything, but he was disgraced by the anti-American forces in Iraq with various RPGs, roadside bombs and other weapons. So much so that when Rumsfeld, who advocated the lightness and rapid development of the army, went to Iraq to inspect it, he was directly ridiculed by the masses. …………。

Therefore, this mobile support unit can only be used for reconnaissance in the environment of World War II, and as a supplement to the anti-armor force in places with good road conditions to carry out defensive operations. Now it is only because there are a few weapons that can cause fatal damage to it in World War I, so it can be said that it can show a certain combat effectiveness, and in more than 20 years, all kinds of anti-tank guns and machine guns will be everywhere, rocket launchers and recoilless guns will be devolved to the grassroots level, and wheeled armored vehicles will be used as the main force when there are still a large number of attack aircraft in the air. That would be really dead, any opportunistic approach could not last long, and the firefighting team composed of wheeled motor vehicles could only play a greater role under the conditions of the first war, and in the second war it was still the world of tanks, assault guns and tank destroyers!

If the Americans are willing to imitate, then imitate it, and in the end it will definitely be themselves who suffer! At the last seminar. Xu Jie decided to accept the Americans' request to train and equip part of his army, which they would train in China along with the British colonial army...... And before the German offensive, into the European theater.

And so. In order to prevent the German Army from taking France in one go, China and Britain and the United States actually came together, you must know that a few months ago, the two sides were still tense. However, for politicians, this is nothing, everyone is just for profit, Britain and the United States need to effectively improve the combat effectiveness of their troops, and China also needs to obtain some benefits or guarantees in addition to money. For example, the Allies' recognition of China's new territories in the future, and the help and relevant intelligence ......... of British personnel or dependents still operating in Russia.

Whether it is Huaxia beginning to vigorously support the Allies or now helping the Entente, there is only one ultimate goal, that is, to be able to eat the fat of Russia in peace! Overall, the front layout Huaxia has done a very good job. And now. is the most critical and important moment!

After more than ten years of preparations, the Huaxia Republic did not have much problem dealing with Russia, which had been almost drained by the war, and even considering the harsh winter and logistical pressures, it was impossible for the Russian Provisional Government to stop the advance of the Huaxia army alone, and the biggest problem was the reaction and attitude of the other powers. This is not to say that Huaxia is afraid of these countries, in short, in line with the principle of saving less trouble and saving more effort, Huaxia needs to win allies as much as possible.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that the only external force that can organize China to obtain Russia is only Germany, but in fact this is not the case, and Britain, France, the United States and other countries are not willing to let China do this. If the Germans collapsed and the Allies won, then there is an eighty percent probability that Britain, France, and the United States will help Russia resist China in various names. Therefore, taking advantage of the current disadvantage of the Entente, Xu Jie needs to get the Entente and the United States to recognize the expansion of Huaxia. Of course, this recognition is not a mere verbal recognition. Instead, we must take action! …。

The British and French control of Russia was not only financial, but also had many British and French instructors and military personnel in the Russian Army. In this case, Xu Jie asked these British and French instructors to at least neutralize the Russian team at the cost of giving aid to the Entente. And before Huaxia entered the war, they were required to continue to fight against the Provisional Government. In addition, it is necessary to provide corresponding intelligence support for Huaxia's spies in Russia. As for inciting the people and making the Russians hate Germany or something, these things do not need to be said by Huaxia, Britain and France will naturally go back and do them. After the war against Russia in China, Britain and France had to do their best to train a "puppet army" composed of old Russian nobles and old armies to cooperate with the actions of the Chinese army.

Secondly, Britain, France and China agreed to the independence of Central Asia, and even to the expansion of Persia in the Caspian region under British control. For the complex ethnic and religious issues in Central Asia, Huaxia does not want to get involved, it is too troublesome! But in order to avoid the formation of a new great power in Central Asia, China, Britain and France also need to break the region out of as many countries as possible. …。

As for the last point, it was at an opportune time that the Entente would have to recognize the new territories of China. It's verbal, but it's better than nothing. Huaxia will decide on the future aid and restrictions on exports to Germany according to the "performance" .........of Britain, France and the United States.

As for whether the Entente would directly break the treaty and support a Russian puppet government to fight against China after winning the war, Xu Jie believes that it is very possible. Therefore, Huaxia needs to let the two sides play in Western Europe for another two years! Huaxia's help to the Entente only made Britain and France unable to die. Heavy bleeding is still a must. According to the deduction of the Chinese War Department...... Germany would eventually stop at about 100 km from Paris, and France would have a large number of areas to fall and lose more than Germany. The two sides would then move into a war of attrition in their positions, and with the entry of the United States, the Entente side would regain its overall strength advantage.

"At that time, it is hoped that Wilhelm II will recognize the reality and give up support for Russia." Xu Jie looked at the map and muttered to himself silently. In fact, Huaxia did not want Germany to lose in their hearts. If Germany loses, it is difficult to ensure that Britain, France, and the United States will not find their own troubles in the Far East, and if William gives up supporting a pro-German and hateful government against China, then Xu Jie will not mind continuing to help the Allies win certain results. But it's a pity that the current Germans are too arrogant and need a defeat to sober them up!

Judging by the current situation, the entry of the United States into the war is a foregone conclusion. I don't know how this plane beauty* team will perform. At least historically, the US Army has performed mediocrely, and the Navy has a somewhat inferior quality compared to both Britain and Germany. At least that's the case with targeting. In addition to the problem of walking with the 14-inch 50L main gun, the quality of personnel is a lingering flaw of the US Navy, I don't know what will happen to this plane!. …。
