Chapter 747 of the New History of China in the First Wu Dynasty

Britain actually looked down on Russia as an ally, and if it weren't for Germany's eastern side of Germany, and if it weren't for Russia's large population and vast area, Britain would not have considered pulling Russia in at all. If the alliance between Britain and France can also be achieved to the satisfaction of both parties by ceding some benefits to each other, then the alliance between Britain and Russia has obvious advantages! Or rather, absolute superiority! No, the British felt it necessary to negotiate with China for the future of Russia something that would never be on the table. Moreover, the content of this discussion is very hidden, not to mention that the Russians do not know, there are definitely no more than ten people in the British government who know about this matter! And the people in the Republic of China know absolutely no more than one lot of indexes.

What the? What if the Russians don't accept what the British have negotiated? It's simple. The question is simply too simple for the British government. If you don't say yes, you won't be given pounds! In the face of the Russians, whose finances are now on the verge of collapse, the pound is more powerful than anything else! The question between the British and Huaxia was very unexpected, and the two countries were not talking about how to end the war, but about the future...... Can Huaxia provide the Russians with weapons and equipment suitable for fighting in Europe! What do you think? Quite unexpected, right? Not a lot of words. …。

In fact, if they could, the British and French would prefer to share the Russian military feast. But it wasn't really possible then. Let's not talk about other problems, let's talk about one question first, that is, the question of how British and French ammunition and weapons will be transported to Russia in the event of war! On the map, the entire eastern part of Russia was separated from the two allies of Britain and France. The Russians were tightly blocked. Britain and France simply could not transport goods from their homeland to Russia. Of course, regardless of the cost, it can be carried from the British mainland all the way south to the Horn of Africa, and then diagonally across the Indian Ocean to the Far East and then into China. The goods were then sent to the trains of the Chinese Republic, and then crossed the unfinished Trans-Siberian Railway into the European territory of Russia. If that were the case, Britain and France would certainly have chosen not to support Russia. Such a large transportation cost is enough for Britain and France to bear!

The British and French generals looked at the map in silence. In the end, I came to a conclusion, if I had to find a foreign aid for the Russians, then it could only be the Chinese Republic that had just fought with Russia! As for the Americans? How to say it, the Americans are not without technology, but they don't care much about their army at all, because the American environment is too good. There are soft persimmons all around, and the army is useless! IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN HISTORY, THE AMERICANS EVEN FOUND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A SUITABLE 6-INCH CANNON, AND AS A RESULT, THEY STILL BOUGHT THE FRENCH SCHNEIDER 1917 155MM CANNON AS THEIR OWN STANDARD EQUIPMENT! And at the time of the 2nd World War. The United States had the sixth largest number of tanks in the world before the war, which was not as good as Poland! …。

In the face of such a non-growing US Army, it is naturally impossible for Britain and France to hand over the heavy task of assisting Russia, and even if it is aid. You'll have to cross the Pacific Ocean to China and then take the rail into Europe. Huaxia let it go is still a problem. Even if you let go, how can this price problem be solved? And from the battlefield. The equipment of the Chinese Republic is really good, and its performance is not much worse than the products of the old industrial powers such as Britain, France and Germany. What's more, it's cheap and leathery! After experiencing it, the British and French officials all thought that in terms of design, the Chinese Army was more excellent, and the biggest advantage of the designers of the Republic of China was that they could use those second-rate subsystems to make a product that was close to first-class or even first-class!

For example, the machine guns, the French chose to solve the problem with heavy heat sinks. The British chose to use a complex exhaust device to cool the barrel of the machine gun, and the Huaxia Republic solved the problem of cooling the machine gun by quickly replacing the barrel. Whether it's a heavy heatsink (such as a Hatch Chase heatsink). The weight of the air-cooled sleeve is very large! directly affects the use. And if you change the barrel, you can solve it with just a spare barrel! Another example is the supply of ammunition, the French use extra-long magazines (for example, the French 1 wartime Shocha light machine gun. The British used drums. Huaxia directly uses the bullet chain to feed the bomb, as for where the bullet chain is placed? You can carry it, or you can wrap it around your body, and you can put it as convenient as you want anyway. At the same weight, the fire sustainance of the Huaxia machine gun crew was much stronger than that of the British and French. …………。

From the point of view of industrial level, even if the European powers export various technical equipment, the technological level of the Huaxia Republic can be regarded as second-class in Europe. It is basically on the same level as Russia. That is, theoretically, the Russians have little problem maintaining these weapons. It's okay to even digest it and then copycat. Therefore, the current Chinese equipment is the most suitable choice for Russia from a technical point of view, as for letting the Russians make things themselves, well, look at the performance in the war. Britain and France decided to wash and sleep.

In terms of the conditions of use and the use of tactics, the current equipment of the Huaxia Republic is also suitable for Russia. The equipment of the British and French is not bad, but the French chariots, like their cuirassiers, defend and attack NB, but the movement speed, travel and cost are really a big problem. They are suitable for the Western Front, which is not too wide and not very deep, and they are heavy cavalry on the battlefield, although they are very slow, but the heavy armor clusters like millstones can completely crush the opponent's defenses. As for the British...... To be honest, infantry fighting vehicles rationed to the infantry are really useful, but for Russia, a country that does not even have enough tanks, it is absolutely too extravagant to produce these things! …。

The British and French War Departments carefully studied the strategies and tactics of the Chinese Army and found that the tactics of the Chinese Army were actually quite suitable for fighting on the vast Pingyuan in Eastern Europe. Because the technical level of the Huaxia Republic is not very high, they cannot produce a tank that is very advanced in all aspects, so they divide the combat vehicles into two types, one is the No. 1 tank specially designed for rapid penetration, the firepower is not good, but the speed is enough to deal with the infantry. THE OTHER IS THE NO. 1 ASSAULT GUN, WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH A 75MM SHORT GUN, HAS NO TURRET AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR FIRST-LINE ATTACKS, BUT CAN ACCOMPANY THE TROOPS TO ATTACK AND CLEAR PART OF THE FIRE POINTS. And in a defensive situation, the No. 1 assault gun was amazingly powerful! This combination makes up for the lack of technology and can be described as a classic.

And compared to the European powers. In addition to the heavy artillery that must be used in the face of strong fortresses, the real fire support and core of the offensive of the Chinese Republic are large-caliber mortars and medium-caliber artillery. Large-caliber cannons are more responsible for the task of suppressing artillery fire.

Although the large-caliber cannon is powerful, but in order to pursue performance, in order to obtain these weapons, the user must pay a great price, high cost, heavy weight, extremely poor mobility and cumbersome logistics have limited the equipment of these weapons, if the British and French on the Western Front can solve these problems, then Russia is absolutely not capable of equipping every army with these big guys. And as far as the road situation in Russia is concerned, well, even if there is a ......... that wants to be applied.

"The battlefield on the Eastern Front was destined to be dominated by movement warfare. The front was too broad for any country to dig the same amount of forts and trenches as the Western Front. Although the German army was strong, it needed to place the main force on the Western Front to defend against the British and French forces, and the Eastern Front was limited by various conditions, so the use of all kinds of powerful heavy artillery was relatively limited, unless the Germans could solve the problems of transportation and roads. However, Russia's national strength does not have the ability to use heavy artillery on a large scale, so the Chinese Army's tactics of mainly using small and medium-caliber artillery and making up for the lack of performance with mobility are very suitable for the Russians, and at the same time, they are also very suitable for the vast plains of Eastern Europe. A British official wrote in the report.

The idea of the British is very simple, after completely resolving the border and the hostile state between the two countries, China and Russia can actually do some business before, after all, the inertia of war is still very large, and a large number of enterprises related to the military industry need a long period of time to adapt to the process of evolution from a wartime state to a peaceful state. During this time, your Huaxia Republic has a large production capacity, but it can't consume them, so why not let Huaxia be used as a Russian military factory? …。

The idea was easier said than done, for it was necessary to convince the Chinese Republic that it was no longer possible for Russia to continue its eastward expansion, which had now been basically achieved, and that the Russians would have to vacate a hundred kilometers of demilitarized zone on the Russian side of the border, and that the garrisons in the Asian part would have to be reduced. The Chinese government will take the word of the British. Second, the British must first persuade the Chinese government to return the seized weapons to the Russians at a more reasonable price. The British would then persuade the Chinese government to "dispose of" some unused weapons. At last...... It is also the most difficult step, which is to persuade Russia and China to make the Chinese government willing to produce armaments suitable for Eastern Europe for Russia, and at the same time let the Russians accept such armaments! That's quite a bit of difficulty!. …。

However, the British have never been a nation that retreats in the face of difficulties, especially at such a life-and-death moment, and it is the first priority of the British to win over and use all available forces to defeat their opponents, and Jericho finally managed to do something that satisfied all the bigwigs of the Admiralty. That is, it brought about exchanges with the navy of the Republic of China in the field of anti-submarine warfare, and now, the British Army will also send an inspection delegation to China to vigorously promote exchanges between the two armies, and for this reason the British will not hesitate to give up all kinds of privileges in China that they will lose sooner or later. At the same time, they will also consider providing more support and help in the economy, the British are not afraid that China will become completely bigger, and no matter how strong China is, it will affect Europe? And as long as Germany and Austria fall, face the whole capitalist world. What can the Chinese Republic do? As for the Russians, the British have already prepared a large amount of pounds, and they are not afraid that the Russians will not open their eyes.

There is a recommendation this week, I hope you can support it more in the last week of this month, can you make the side monthly ticket list enter the top 400? It's so depressing to hang around at 400+ all the time~~. (To be continued......)
