With the news of the signing of the treaty, the whole country can almost be described as singing and dancing.

For ordinary Westerners, perhaps the news that China has formed a new alliance with Iran and Thailand is not worth their attention. After all, at best, it is an 'indigenous' country in the Far East, in alliance with two other 'indigenous' countries―――――― well, maybe the strength of that country at the beginning was surprisingly strong, and it may even have reached the level of France and Italy. But one thing is certain, that is, both Iran and Thailand can only be regarded as third-rate countries.

It is difficult to say whether this kind of Cheng dù country can even reach the Greek Cheng dù.

Let's put it this way, if the world's great powers are divided into five levels, then the United Kingdom and the United States are undoubtedly the countries at the top of all countries. In other words, Britain and the United States are the superpowers of this era, after all, both Britain and the United States have the power to dominate the world. Britain's vast colonies and equally large navy, as well as the formidable industrial capacity of the United States, are enough to leave most countries in the world in the dust.

Even if it is really put together, China will not necessarily be much inferior to the United Kingdom and the United States. But one thing is certain, that is, if it is really compared with the United Kingdom and the United States, China's only advantage is the number of people―――――― which is not surprising, after all, although China's industrial capacity is strong, it is still some distance from Britain and the United States. As for the vastness of other lands or the abundance of resources, these are unusually conspicuous advantages over other countries. It's nothing to Britain and the United States.

After all, Britain itself is a country with a very vast territory, even much larger than China, and its resources are naturally abundant.

The United States is not as exaggerated as the United Kingdom, though. But considering the size of the continental United States, it is not much inferior.

After all, the current state of government is still too young, although the history of Chinese civilization is 5,000 years old. However, the history of the Guoshe government is only seven years, and the entire Guoshe government can be said to be based on the former Qing Dynasty, and I dare not say that it is poor and white, after all, Yan Shao still had some family background in Anhui. What's more, there are some things left behind in the previous Qing Dynasty. But Yan Shao's ones are forgotten, but those of the former Qing Dynasty can't be on the table at all.

A Hanyang Iron Works with a crude steel output of less than 100,000 tons? Even Japan, the smallest of the six powers, has a production capacity of at least 100,000 tons.

But despite this. But as long as China is given enough time to develop, it is entirely possible to surpass Britain and the United States, given China's own potential.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After getting rid of the two undoubted superpowers, Britain and the United States, then what remains is naturally a first-class power. Representatives of such powers. The first recommendation is, of course, China. Although seven years will not allow China to catch up with Britain and the United States. But this is mainly due to the fact that the strength of the above two countries is somewhat against the sky, and other countries are not capable of this.

Just like the French, although the strength of France has always been good, the losses of the French in this war are too great. What's more, France, unlike Britain, can almost be said to be a global hegemon, so it maintains a very large fleet, but the interests of the French are, to put it bluntly, in fact in the Mediterranean. To put it bluntly. That is, on the coast of North Africa ...

So the fleet of the French was not so much the oceanic fleet as the Mediterranean fleet. It turned out that when considering the introduction of technology to the Navy. This is why France was not chosen. After all, Yan Shao's purpose is to make China's navy a navy in the true sense of the word, not a 'navy' army in a calm 'waterhole'.

It's like the Caspian Sea, even though it's called a sea, but how many people actually think it's a sea?

It can even be said that although the Caspian Sea is indeed called the sea, it is actually only considered a large lake. The Caspian Sea is the world's largest enclosed inland water body and the world's largest lake and inland sea. With an area of 371,000 square kilometres (excluding the bay of Kalabogazgore) and a volume of 78,200 cubic kilometres, the Caspian Sea is 1,025 metres at its deepest point and an average depth of 187 metres. The Caspian Sea is an endorheic lake with no outlet. In later generations, the Caspian Sea was surrounded by several countries, Russia in the northwest, Azerbaijan in the west, Iran in the south, Turkmenistan in the southeast, and Kazakhstan in the northeast.

The Caspian Sea is also a saltwater lake, a lake of sea traces, originally part of the ancient Mediterranean. The coastal inhabitants of the ancient Caspian Sea considered the Caspian Sea to be an ocean, probably because its water was salty and seemed endless.

Naturally, the Mediterranean Sea is definitely much larger than the Caspian Sea, and in fact there are often storms and things like that in the Mediterranean, which can be vicious. History does not know how many ships have sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and become part of the Mediterranean.

But compared to oceans like the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea is a bit of a pediatric.

And Yan Shao's expectation that the Chinese navy is a real navy that can gallop across the ocean, and it is definitely not a navy that can only be in the inland sea or land sea like the Mediterranean.

In addition, in addition to its inferior navy, France cannot catch up with countries like Britain and the United States in industry, so it can only be condescended to the first-class powers. The reason why it can rank first-class is also because the French army is still very strong in this era. Think about the appearance of the Russians on the Eastern Front, and the reason why the Western Front has been able to hold out is that the French have contributed the most.

It was the bloody fighting of the French for four years that allowed the Western Front to never be defeated in the true sense of the word, and finally made it possible to defeat Germany.

Of course, it is precisely because of this relationship that it was in the Second World War that the sudden defeat of the French would make the whole world fall ―――――― astonishment.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

If France is the representative of the first-class powers, then China is the number one among the first-class powers. Although there is still a gap between China's navy and France's. But in terms of industry and war potential, China is already far stronger than France.

And the only drawback of the Navy, with the entry into service of four battleships of the Jairus' class. It will also be reversed. Along with the first-class powers, there are also Soviet Russia, Japan and Italy―――――― of course, the latter two are somewhat watery.

Leaving aside the fact that Russia had an army of more than 5 million, a rapidly recovering industry, and a huge territory and population, it had become a formidable part of the European continent.

As for Japan, Japan was originally a veritable first-class power, but it was much worse than Britain and the United States. But this era has failed too much. The strength of the Japanese was impaired. This ranking is somewhat undeserved, but the Japanese are to be celebrated because their navy is strong. With the navy, the Japanese had a chance to climb to the top.

As for Italy...

Later generations basically knew that the Italian military was a complete joke, at least as many people knew.

But at least in this era, the Italians still have some strength. The Italian campaign in World War I was a bit more miserable. But at least the Italian army of this era was not as amusing as it was during World War II. In addition, it is relatively strong, at least stronger than Japan's industrial capacity, so it is still possible to be included in the first-class power.

Naturally, Germany was also able to do it originally, but it is a pity that after the defeat of Germany, there was basically no army. Military strength is a very important part of any country, to be precise, extremely important.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Germany has not been included in the list of first-class powers.

Of course. With the recovery of its military strength, Germany has such an opportunity.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

If it's two superpowers. Coupled with the first-class powers led by China, it is considered the most powerful force in the world. Then there are many, many other forces in this world.

It's just that the strength of these countries is relatively much worse, and even being called a regional power is probably a bit reluctant.

This is represented by Greece and Turkey, which are currently at war, as well as other European countries and South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina.

The characteristic of such a country is that it still has some strength, but it is not even a scum in front of a real power.

It should be noted that Iran and Thailand can also be counted. In particular, Iran, although the original Iran should have been included in the list of countries in a lower tier. However, due to the support of the national government, the Iranian government has an integrated army of at least two armies, and its combat capability cannot be underestimated, at least it can be compared with some small countries in Europe, so it is no problem to reward a second-rate country.

The situation in Thailand is similar, but it is better, after all, Thailand has a better foundation.

And under the more powerful countries such as Iran and Thailand, there are those countries that have little strength, such as Denmark and the like, although they exist in this world, but they have no strength―――――― of course, at least economically these countries are still good, at least stronger than many countries.

Such countries can be called third-rate, and although it is difficult to attract anyone's attention, at least they still exist as a country, and at least they can support the people of their own country.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid that many people will begin to wonder, so what other country can be under this, is there any weaker than them? After all, this is a colonial era, unlike later generations, where a considerable number of countries have no strength, and such countries without strength are almost all over the world, everywhere!

In this era, because it is a relationship in the colonial era, countries that do not have strength have basically been turned into colonies, so it is naturally not difficult to find.

Just because it's hard to find doesn't mean you can't find it.

At least a country like Paraguay or Uruguay in South America can definitely be called inaccessible!

In fact, in addition to Paraguay, there are also Honduras, Costa Rica, etc., which can be called non-streamed countries.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

You can see it from above. The countries of the world as a whole are roughly divided into five categories.

The first level is naturally the superpowers Britain and the United States.

The second level. It is the first-class powers led by China, France and Soviet Russia, all of which have very strong strength, and can even compete with the superpowers above. It's just that the overall strength is a little inferior, but if nothing else, there are some hits.

And China is definitely an outlier here, because with its amazing population, vast territory, abundant resources and fairly good industry. Although China is still somewhat inferior to Britain and the United States in terms of industry, economy, and military, its overall strength can be called a quasi-superpower.

The third level. That is, Turkey, Greece, Iran, Thailand, this level, second-rate countries, some strength. It's a pity that in front of the above two levels of countries, it is not enough to see at all.

As long as the above-mentioned countries are serious, it is basically not a problem to destroy these countries.

The fourth level, the so-called third-rate countries, such as Denmark, is the case. These countries exist in the world as a nation. Although there is not much strength. I don't have much dignity, but at least I still live in this world, and I can be considered to have some outstanding places―――――― at least better than a little bit /

The last fifth level, which is the non-confined country, such as Honduras, is just one country. They just exist in this world as a country, let people know that there are countries like them in this world, and nothing else...

In the eyes of ordinary Western people. The establishment of the [China Alliance] this time is nothing more than a first-class power leading two second-rate powers to unite together. There is absolutely nothing to care about. After all, when it comes to strength, there are too many people on the European continent who are stronger than Iran and Thailand. Similarly, Britain or the United States are obviously stronger than China―――――― although China's territory is a bit scary today.

But ordinary people can see it that way, but the real leaders of these countries cannot.

In the same way, the Chinese people will not see it this way, because they know very well the importance of the establishment of the [China League], ―――――― they do not understand it themselves, although it is not like saying it, but at least most of the Chinese people do not have the ability to do so. What really made them understand was the newspapers all over the country.

For the establishment of the [China Alliance], those newspapers can be said to have reported one after another, and invited many experts to attend the lecture to explain the importance of the [Alliance].

So, soon the whole of China was lit up, and on the other hand, looking at such a lively scene in China, the rest of the Western countries were all complicated.

Because they know very well that with the emergence of the [China Alliance], the entire world pattern will change. It's not that they didn't expect this to happen, they just didn't expect it to come so early.

It caught them off guard!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

With the establishment of the China Alliance, an organization that influenced the world pattern was born. Although the current strength of this alliance is not very strong, there are only three countries in the whole country. But there is no doubt that in the near future, this alliance will have a profound impact on the whole world.

Of course, there are also some countries that feel that the current China Alliance is actually just China holding up a shelf there. Actually? Without China, whether it is Iran or Thailand, they are just some inconspicuous small players, and countries like Britain or the United States do not even need to exert much effort to wipe out these two countries―――――― who said that these two countries have neither China's population, nor China's backbone, let alone China's territory!

In later generations, China is actually the second-rate level now, but it has been dragging the Japanese by relying on its vast territory and huge population, coupled with its complex geographical shape.

But there is no doubt that none of these things above, neither Iran nor Thailand!

Such two weak countries can now jump out. It fell into the eyes of the world purely because China is their ally and the leader of the alliance.

Of course, it is also because of this relationship, many people are laughing at China, saying that China really can't find allies. So in the end, I actually got goods like Iran and Thailand to come out and fill people's heads.

And think. Such two countries are unlikely to be of any use to the Chinese alliance at all, and may even drag China back and become a help to other countries, rather than China.

It was only soon that they had to admit that they had made a mistake in their thinking, that Iran and Thailand were not dragging their feet, but could become threats to them.

Faced with this result. They can't help but painfully admit that they were wrong.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the border between China and Thailand, Wang Lei was sitting in his tent, watching a novel with relish.

Military career. It was very boring, although the Wehrmacht itself did not prohibit soldiers from going to places like the Qinglou Chu Pavilion to relax and relax. But officers who have gone up to the rank need to pay attention, after all, this relaxation is only for soldiers. Because the soldiers are in the army for about three years. There is very little time to go home, and no one knows if it will cause trouble or even cause some trouble―――――― which will affect the reputation of the entire Wehrmacht.

However, this treatment is limited to soldiers, of course, officers can also go.

But the reason why the Wehrmacht turned a blind eye to this matter, and did not enforce the ban, was entirely because the soldiers stayed in the barracks all year round. If you don't get a physical vent, it's easy to have problems.

But the officers are different, first of all, the officers themselves are treated very well. Second, the military often placed officers' families in nearby residential areas. Officers are fully allowed to go back to their families after work―――――― except during their shifts.

In this way, there is naturally no need for soldiers to swim.

The government gave the soldiers the green light to address their needs, but it definitely didn't get the officers to do the same.

Therefore, the Wehrmacht's supervision of officers going to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion can be said to be very strict.

Even if the officer did so, there would be no criticism or severe punishment. But one thing is certain, and that is that the officer's future is ruined.

Although the current Wehrmacht pays more attention to the ability of officers, the virtue of an officer is also noteworthy, and even because of the past tradition, the army pays more attention to the virtue of an officer―――――― and it is naturally better to have excellent moral character.

And a person with poor moral character is naturally difficult to be reused.

Therefore, except for a few officers who do not plan to further develop in the army, the vast majority of officers rarely go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. This is an unwritten rule in the Wehrmacht. Anyway, these officers have wives or family members, so they don't need to worry about it. It's just that some young officers suffered, first, their families didn't follow, and then they didn't have the courage to go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion...

In this way, it is natural to be more accustomed to finding something to entertain or divert attention. Naturally, some of the more exciting reading materials during this period can also be said to be very popular in the military. On the other hand, although the Wehrmacht does not prohibit the army from going to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, it can even be said that this is a tradition of the Chinese army for thousands of years, but this tradition may not be able to last long.――――――

As the prestige of the Wehrmacht grew, the impact on the Wehrmacht on such things as the army running into brothels naturally increased. Therefore, more and more people began to propose that the military should be banned from entering the brothels, or even that the brothels should be closed very completely.

The reason given by these people is also very simple: there is hardly any powerful country in the world today that allows its soldiers to go to the brothel. Similarly, there are very few powerful countries that allow brothels to be kept.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was for this reason that many people began to discuss the closure of brothels and the prohibition of troops from entering them.

Yan Shaodao has no opinion on this, the former is not mentioned for the time being, the army visits brothels, which was also opposed by Yan Shao. It's just that when the Kuomintang government was first formed, the troops were not very stable, at least teach them eight disciplines or something, they must not be able to remember!

In this case, it is better to find a way to find a place for them to vent. At least that won't be too much of a problem.

Later, with the stability of the national government, the army, the largest organ of violence in the hands of the national government, should also be reined in.

Especially after the Shandong Campaign, the European Campaign, the Korean War and the victory of the War against Russia, the prestige of the Wehrmacht can almost be said to be unprecedentedly high, in this case, the Wehrmacht people frequently go in and out of brothels, and even fight and brawl because of jealousy, isn't this a disgrace to the Wehrmacht―――――― although the brothel is also a key inspection area of the gendarmerie, but the jealousy is always inevitable, so fights and brawls are inevitable.

Well, since there was so much trouble and at the same time such a great impact on the prestige of the Wehrmacht, it was only natural that the ban on the army going to brothels was included in the discussion.

At least Yan Shao didn't think there was any problem, although there were some generals who objected, but Yan Shao felt that there was no problem―――――― the reason why they turned a blind eye at the beginning was just because they had just joined the national government and joined the national defense force, and they didn't understand what a modern army was.

If you want them not to disturb the people, you can only let them vent their energy elsewhere.

But now that the situation is different, it is different, and naturally some changes can be made.

Moreover, in later generations, including the armies of the hammer and sickle, there were other armies, and it was rare to hear of soldiers being allowed to go into brothels. If they can all endure it, what Wehrmacht can't bear it?

Energetic? Need to vent? That's great! There were enough football and basketball courts in the barracks for them to run over and vent their extra energy. There are many other things on top of that, including a range of gym equipment, which can also be...

All in all, with the different times, it is time for certain old rules to be eliminated.

Of course, many things need to be done gradually, at least for a short time, Yan Shao only intends to prohibit soldiers from entering the brothel. It's been a long time, and after a complete ban on 'yellow'...

This is undoubtedly a very difficult task, after all, for so many years in human history, this thing has not been completely banned, let alone Yan Shao.

However, Yan Shao still hopes that these things can be subject to some control!
