The 'powerful' things that Yan Shao just said that can help Cai Ye open up the situation are naturally the 'tanks' that are currently being manufactured...

In fact, in today's Europe, what can immediately help Cai Yi and them open up the situation is probably only possible with equipment such as tanks, as for other weapons and equipment, this is probably a little difficult, even if it is a machine gun―――――― in Europe, the war has been going on for a long time, and the scale of equipment such as machine guns has been relatively large.

Although the Wehrmacht certainly had more machine guns than the European armies, it was not to the point of being able to overwhelm it. What's more, in Europe, in addition to machine guns, artillery of various calibers is also a more important role on the battlefield.

In this regard, the only thing Cai and the members of the expeditionary force could rely on was the artillery support of the Entente...

――――――――――――――――――――

Originally, according to Yan Shao's intentions, he planned to let the tank troops go to Europe with them.

In this way, they have just arrived in Europe and can take immediate action after they have adapted to the situation in Europe. For example, to give the Germans a surprise attack on the European battlefield, so that they lose their armor as they did in history, and the Wehrmacht can also take this opportunity to establish itself in Europe and become the third largest force after Britain and France―――――― which is also one of the reasons why Yan Shao will increase the number of dispatches.

It's a pity that although the two types of tanks, [Gluttony] and [Qiqi], have been finalized and have begun mass production. But these two tanks. Or rather, the production capacity of armored vehicles and tanks is still relatively poor, and it simply cannot meet the needs of the Wehrmacht. It will take some time to produce the number of 100 tanks that Yan Shao needs. Even if Yan Shao owns the largest Yushi Automobile Company in this era, this is the case...

So there was no way, Yan Shao had no choice but to let Cai Yi and them go over first, preparing to let the second batch of troops go over later.

However, before that, according to Yan Shao's orders, Cai Ye and the others would not act immediately, but first underwent a period of training in Europe before putting them on the battlefield.

This part of the training. In addition to adapting to the European situation, there is also the ......... Make up for the part in the training camp as well...

――――――――――――――――――――

That A seed division is also an elite. When you arrive in Europe, you just need to adapt to the European environment.

But the two B divisions are different, they were pulled out without completing the training. That's why. It's because Cai Ye feels that the early training has ended. Later training is better in Europe.

In this way, there is also a more practical atmosphere during training.

In addition, the European side was also in a hurry, so after equipping the two Type B troops, these two Type B infantry divisions were organized into the Chinese Expeditionary Force together with the Type A division, and they were also the first team in this expeditionary force...

Of course, they will not be idle during this time at sea, and they will carry out some discipline. and training that doesn't take up space, which even includes shooting training―――――― which is actually quite simple.

Although it is at sea. But in fact, it is more convenient to train in this way.

The soldiers on the ship only need to lean on the railing, and then make a boat, let the crew of the boat hide in the boat, and then let them drive to the limit of the rifle range, and let the soldiers on the ship shoot, it is really simple and okay...

――――――――――――――――――――

After all, at the distance of the ultimate range, and such a large ship, the soldiers can not only aim at the target relatively easily, but also do not have to worry about breaking the target.

After all, ships are made of steel, and no matter how powerful those rifles are, it is impossible to smash a steel ship at extreme distances...

Coupled with the fact that there is the sea all around, the effect of such training is absolutely excellent.

Because with the sea all around, they don't need to worry about accidentally hurting the people around them.

On the other hand, this 'target' can also be moved, and after the ship is trained, he can move to another ship, which is very convenient.

And grenade throwing training ...

Above the sea, it is all about destroying the environment.

Even if any of the fools didn't catch the grenade for a while, the well-trained instructor next to him could kick the grenade out directly along the railing...

It can be said that training on a ship is even more convenient than on 6 grounds―――――― at least on 6 grounds, you still need to clean up, right? Especially after throwing, there is always some clean-up.

But at sea, it doesn't have to be at all.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no drawbacks, first of all, the space on the ship is too small, and there may be nothing for training such as shooting, and of course, throwing grenades is even less. But like trail running, this is a bit of a tragedy, after all, it's not good to really run around the boat, there are many people on the same boat.

In addition to these, some other trainings are also more demanding in the environment, which are difficult to meet.

But overall, it's still a little bit...

Otherwise, Cai Ye would not have asked for this.

――――――――――――――――――――

The environment in Europe is complex right now, especially at sea...

Ever since the Germans learned the 'wolf pack' tactics, even though they have only learned a rudimentary version, they can't compare to the genuine wolf pack that they themselves knew decades later.

However, this epoch-making tactic still posed a great threat to the Entente.

Eventually, as a last resort, the Allies even had to send a large number of escorts to each merchant fleet―――――― which were often referred to in later generations.

However, in this era, the difference between frigates and destroyers at this time was not particularly large. At least in tonnage, the displacement of the two is very similar.

And similarly, there are also the encounters of later generations.

In this day and age. The task of the frigate is to conduct escort operations, and there is also a little anti-submarine ―――――― to put it simply, the frigate is definitely not the main force in this era, and it is not at all.

Although the destroyers are stronger than the frigates, they really can't think of any threat these ships can have, except for the fish on board.

In naval battles, something like a destroyer. Maybe it can only be used for harassment operations, in some large-scale naval battles, there is not even a chance to appear―――――― including the "Yukikaze" destroyer presented to the Japanese government by the Communist government.

It has now been some time since the Communist government presented the destroyers to the British government. One of them, the Icewind, had already been sunk by the Germans in a naval battle.

As for the others, there are one or two that are more seriously injured and are now being repaired in shipyards in the UK.

Of course. None of that matters. The key is the snow wind...

True to his name, ever since Yukikaze officially entered the battlefield, he has begun to wield his broomstick star-like abilities ―――――― scourge his teammates around him.

In each of the previous escort missions, the Yukikaze's team suffered heavy losses.

One of the most unfortunate times was that, as in history, when the Snowwind passed through a minefield, the mines there didn't explode, and when his teammates followed in...

"Boom..."

A person who is on the boat. All of them have become reservoir dogs, and the unluckiest ones are those in the cabins. Almost all of them were buried at the bottom of the sea with the ship.

At the critical moment, it was still the snow wind that had been blowing the style that had been in the air since the beginning of his service, that is, saving the crew members who had fallen overboard―――――― although those crew members might not necessarily like his rescue.

Because of this long time, the Snow Wind has become slightly famous in the British Navy.

The name, of course, is not good, but his ability to scourge his teammates ...

After all, the ability of the Snow Wind is too powerful, as long as it is a teammate with him, it will more or less suffer some losses. And each time, the Yukikaze was barely harmed, and on one occasion, the Yukikaze and they ran into some Allied armed ships, and a naval battle broke out between the two sides.

As a result, his teammates paid heavy casualties to destroy the enemy army, but what about himself...

The entire naval battle, not to mention how many shells were fired and how many targets were hit, was only a single shell hit―――――― or a dud.

On the contrary, it was his teammates, but one of them was hit by the ammunition depot, and then with another 'boom', it was directly blown into two pieces...

To be honest, during that sea cruise, in fact, the friendly ships around him didn't like him to join, but the people above the Admiralty didn't believe in this evil at all, and then the Snow Wind once again won the title of rescuing the water dogs...

By the way, because of the snow and wind, they were even surrounded by minefields.

And because of the reputation of the Yukikaze, there are even people who ask the Yukikaze to lead the way in front and take them out of the minefield―――――― according to rumors from the outside world, the Yukikaze is rarely injured.

But this construction was quickly stopped, and the reason was simple.

Just now, it was the Snow Wind that led the way in front, but as a result, the mines did not blow him up, but blew up others.

If the Yukikaze leads the way this time, then there is a good chance that the result will be repeated, and in that case, things will be very bad.

So, instead of letting the Yukikaze lead the way, they should slowly solve the danger of mines. It might be slower, but it's safer than letting the Yukikaze lead the way...

Such comments may have made the crew on the Yukikaze a little frustrated, but others agreed―――――― in addition, despite the frustration, in fact, they were more fortunate, after all, the Yukikaze had never encountered any crisis, and on other warships―――――― the Battle of Jutland had not yet broken out at this time, and if it was replaced by other warships, it was still possible to run into the Germans...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although they were both secondary ships, frigates and destroyers became capital ships in later generations.

Especially in later generations, battleships have basically been decommissioned. With cruisers on the verge of extinction, frigates and destroyers have begun to become the main ships of the navies.

Although by this time, their mission and their name have basically nothing to do with it.

However, it needs to be clarified. In the later stage, in fact, there is almost no difference between a frigate and a destroyer.

Especially in regions such as Europe, where some corvettes are larger than even destroyers of ordinary countries ...

All it can be said is...

It seems like it's time for them to change their names?

――――――――――――――――――――

Putting these aside, due to the danger of this voyage and the possibility of encountering German submarines along the way, I followed the action this time. There were also ten destroyers, and three cruisers.

This is already a considerable part of the Navy's home base, but for this voyage. Yan Shao still sent it out without hesitation.

After all, there were 50,000 or 60,000 people on it this time, and there was even a main division among them. If all these people were to die at the bottom of the sea, it would be a very heavy blow to the Wehrmacht.

What's more, at this time, the country was still somewhat disgusted with sending troops to Europe.

If on the way out. The expeditionary force has not even fired a single shot. has all sunk to the bottom of the sea, no matter how high Yan Shao's prestige is, it will be a big blow to him. The whole country will even change its attitude towards sending troops because of this, so we have to be cautious...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the pier, the escort ships docked on the pier early sounded their whistles and slowly sailed out of the port.

And on the pier, the officers and men of the various infantry divisions that had been prepared for a long time were under everyone's attention. There was a neat queue, in silence. Silently stepped on the transport ship...

The neat queues, as well as the silent table xiàn, these are strictly required by the commanders of the various units.

After all, the significance of this expedition is very important, and many reporters will also come out to interview, and they must leave a good impression on the people of the whole country.

But seriously, even if there is no such requirement above, it is okay to queue up, but silence will be there, after all, after today, they will go to an unknown place, if they can be happy at this time, then how big their hearts should be...

The whole embarkation ceremony did not last long, because there were only a few thousand Wehrmacht soldiers on the dock, and they were all sent by various infantry divisions to send an infantry regiment, and most of the others had already been loaded onto the ship, and some of the outside were just acting, which was also for the sake of saving time.

After all, there are fifty or sixty thousand people, and it will take a long time to board all of them.

Not to mention the equipment and so on, especially heavy equipment.

In this expedition, the A division will not go with the cavalry, but even so, each infantry division still has a large number of heavy weapons, if it is really loaded on the ship together, even if it is not enough for a day, it is better to be simpler.

Anyway, what the world wants to see is only the mighty scene of the Wehrmacht, so they will show them a good look, but the picture will be more or less shrunk...

――――――――――――――――――――

Under the orders of the officers, the officers and soldiers boarded the ships in turn, and then waved freely on the deck―――――― to the point where the soldiers were always allowed to come out and wave to their families, which is also a scene that often appears in later movies...

As for Cai Yi, after the end, he exchanged pleasantries with Yan Shao and the others, and then boarded the ship, ready to go on his own journey...

"I hope they have a safe journey this time..."

Looking at the transport ship moored in the port, Yan Shao let out a long sigh.

In fact, it's not just them, it's everyone else.

After leaving Tianjin, the ships will go directly to the Guò Indian Ocean, the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea to France, and then disembark directly from Marseille.

Although the Mediterranean Sea is also relatively dangerous today, there is only one Austria-Hungary and one Ottoman Turkey by the sea. In addition, most of the British aid came from the United States, so although there were some German submarines in the Mediterranean, there were not many of them.

But even so, a threat is a threat after all.

And for the sake of this journey, in addition to the National Defense Navy will send a group of escort fleets, when the fleet arrives in India, the Entente will also send a group of fleets to ensure that the whole voyage is smooth before the ―――――― Yan Shao has made it very clear to the British, what to do next, this first batch must arrive smoothly, otherwise if these people are sent to the bottom of the sea without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, the morale of the Chinese people will be ruined. If you don't get it right, it may even affect your future plans...

And China, because of this situation, may change from a belligerent country to a supporting country...

This situation is not only considered by Yan Shao, but also by the Entente, so although Yan Shao's attitude when he spoke was not particularly good, the British still kept it in mind, and promised to escort the expeditionary force from the Indian Ocean when it came out to ensure safety―――――― at this time the German naval fleet from Qingdao had been cleaned up, and those small islands in the Pacific Ocean had also been cleaned up by the Japanese.

On the wharf, after a whistle, the transport fleet slowly left the port of Tianjin along the road that had just escorted the fleet.

On the dock, Yan Shao and the others looked at these soldiers who were heading to Europe with complicated eyes.

What their fate will be in the end, no one can know, Yan Shao and they can only silently pray on the dock that their journey will be smooth...

And when the last transport ship also leaves the port of Tianjin, it also represents China's official participation in this unprecedented 'world war'...

From today onwards, China will also be a member of the Entente and fight for the Entente in the European theater of war, and even more for the interests of its own country...

And this war will also be recorded in history forever because of its unprecedented scale... (To be continued......)
