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 the scope of its power. 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 is not possible to formally declare war on Germany for various reasons, it is possible to do some means in private, such as sending technicians and workers to the battlefield to provide logistics and medical services, such as sending a fleet to escort the supplies sent by the United States to Europe, and the most daring and effective way is to form an army composed of "American volunteers" to go to Europe to directly participate in the war!

As for how this "American Volunteer Army" was established, whether it was directly pulled over by changing the US Army into a set of military uniforms, 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 the way, and he didn't want to know the way. He had so much to do. But what happened next made Xu Jie have to pay attention to this complex composition and the nature of this force. The reason is very simple, after the British decided to use the equipment of the Chinese Army to arm part of the colonial army and hire Chinese instructors, the US government also officially hoped that Huaxia could train this force in China 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. It is said that the current US Army, as in history, is in an extremely weak state, not only in terms of equipment and scale, but also does not have a set of its own operational ideas. Artillery, in particular, copied the French almost for some time after the 1 World War. 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, the German army in World War 2 in history. The Germans did not have very good cards when they attacked France, but relying on the operational idea of blitzkrieg, they quickly killed France.

But after some thought. Xu Jie believes that it is okay to teach Americans in some aspects. There is even the possibility of taking the other party into the ditch! First of all, this set of tactical ideas can only be used in defensive operations, and can only be used in defensive operations in areas with convenient transportation such as Western Europe. Wheeled armored vehicles have poor passability. It would be awkward to leave a mature road system. The biggest selling point of these mobile defense vehicles is their high speed and heavy firepower. No high speed. First of all, it is equivalent to cutting 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 be stuck in the quagmire, and 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 kind of mobile support force can only be used for reconnaissance in the environment of World War II, and in places where the road conditions are good, as a supplement to the anti-armor force to carry out defensive operations. And now it's just because there are a few weapons that can cause fatal damage to it in World War I. Therefore, in order to show a certain combat effectiveness, until more than 20 years, all kinds of anti-tank guns and machine guns are everywhere, rocket launchers and recoilless guns are devolved to the grassroots, and there are still a large number of attack aircraft in the air with wheeled armored vehicles as the main force, then it is really a death, any opportunistic approach can not last long, and the firefighting team composed of wheeled motor vehicles can only play a greater role under the conditions of the first war, and in the second war it is still the world of tanks, assault guns and tank destroyers!

If the Americans are willing to imitate, then imitate it, and it will definitely be themselves who will suffer the most! At the last meeting, Xu Jie decided to accept the Americans' request to train and equip part of their army, which would be trained in China with the British colonial army and enter the European theater before the German offensive was launched.

So, in order to prevent the German Army from taking France in one go, Huaxia and Britain and the United States actually came together. 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 information 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, it 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 there is only one Germany that can organize Huaxia to gain Russia's external power, but in fact this is not the case, and Britain, France, the United States and other countries are not willing to let Huaxia 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 kind of recognition is not just a verbal acknowledgment, but must be taken into 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. Under these circumstances, Xu Jie, in exchange for Allied aid, demanded that the British and French instructors keep the Russian army at least neutral. 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 that at an opportune time, the Entente had to recognize the new territory of China. It's verbal, but it's better than nothing. China will decide on future aid and restrictions on exports to Germany based on 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 calculations of the Chinese War Department, Germany will eventually stop at about 100KM from Paris, and France will have a large number of areas to fall and the losses will be 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 his heart, if Germany lost, it would be difficult to ensure that Britain, France and the United States would not find their own troubles in the Far East, and if William gave up supporting a pro-German government that hated Huaxia, then Xu Jie would 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 from the current situation, the United States' participation in the war has become a foregone conclusion, and I wonder what the performance of the American army in this plane will be. 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 the 14-inch 50L main gun, the quality of personnel is a lingering flaw of the US Navy, and I don't know what will happen to this plane!
