Chapter 1265 Lanfang Mercenaries
After heated discussion, it was obvious that Moltke was prepared for everything, both theoretically and timely. In the end, Moltke persuaded both sides, including Nicholas, who was a little unstable, but Germany finally decided to ask Lan Fang for help and demand that Lan Fang join the European war situation and take responsibility.
When the news came, the entire staff was a little excited. Although China had actually risen and had penetrated into the European War, Europe has been the center of the world for hundreds of years. Since the Renaissance, the dominance of the entire world has been in Europe. Being able to connect to the World War is definitely the best choice. Most of them think that this is an excellent opportunity and is conducive to establishing a good image of China.
Like the United States, China now has strong strength, but in the whole world, it does not have a status that cooperates with its strength. The status of any country is finally established in countless wars, and there is no third way to go. It is a good choice to intervene in the European war in this way.
Yang Yuanzhao did not recognize this. The European War belongs to Europe. It is not good for Asians to intervene rashly. Even if they defeat it, they will not get anything except an illusory reputation. If they want to do it, they must be like the United States. When both sides are exhausted and unable to continue, they will intervene in the war. Instead of now, the war between the two sides is in full swing, and they will rashly intervene in the war, leaving countless casualties, but there are no practical examples.
For example, with the support of China, the Allies won the war, and in the end, Germany also generously gave part of French territory, such as Corsica, to China, which was useless. If a piece of enclave that traveled thousands of miles, if European countries were bad, it would make you look good in minutes. There is not much difference between getting it and not getting it.
This is different from the Middle East. Firstly, the Middle East has huge oil, which represents a huge amount of interests. Secondly, the countries in the Middle East are all small countries and have no strength to determine their own destiny. Europe is all countries that have completed industrialization, and even if China suppresses it, it does not suppress much. When it comes to the moment of war, it is unreasonable that China can fly thousands of miles to fight with the other side.
What Yang Yuanzhao said makes sense. In addition to being unhealthy, those who travel thousands of miles away may also have problems. If Germany orders them to die, the tragic European war is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who can stop it, at least millions or even millions of casualties. Even if China has a great family and a great cause, it is impossible for China to devote itself to such an endless flesh and blood mill.
Yang Yuanzhao unified the views of the top leaders in the entire northwest and did not directly send out the regular army of Lan Fang. However, the situation in which Germany was in was a difficult situation. Italy's performance in this battle can definitely be called a failure. It is really a noodles like pasta and cannot resist the Allied power at all. Once the loss is large, with Italy's urinary nature, it will definitely surrender unilaterally with the Allied Power. A big country in the central Mediterranean joins the Allied Power camp. This is not a one-plus-1 problem. The Allied Power has an important node in the south, where you can attack and retreat or defend, and this point must be paid attention to.
After several discussions, a compromise was finally chosen. That is, non-military organizations can be sent to join the army of the Allied Powers. China and Lan Fang will be responsible for the necessary language, basic military training and nutrition, etc., to ensure that they are qualified soldiers, and to equate these people with the treatment of Lan Fang's regular army, meritorious service, salary, and even treatment after retirement. Then, Germany came to recruit soldiers, and on the premise of voluntary mutual benefit, they joined the German army sequence and were commanded by them.
The plan that looks grandly sound contains a different mindset. Lan Fang now has more than 36 million people, of which 20 million are Chinese and 16 million indigenous people. Due to the killing, many indigenous people are young, middle-aged, elderly, children, and even women, who cannot withstand the sinister conditions. In the eyes of Lan Fang and China, these people are an unstable factor, and at least half of them can be recruited. As long as most of the flesh and blood mills in Europe are cleaned up, it is a solid cornerstone for Southeast Asia in the future.
This is a good plan. Even now, Lan Fang can provide 1.5 million people for Germany to choose from. To put it bluntly, under the premise that the natives in Southeast Asia were suppressed, joining the army became the only way out. The Lan Fang National Defense Force could not have many places, and it has only 1.42 million so far. However, the total number of natives in Southeast Asia was as high as 167 million. This is the result of a large amount of consumption. Dilution, recruitment, and even neatly relocated. It is really impossible to do too much under the premise of considering the influence of the future. Then recruiting soldiers became the only way out. The Northwest has increased its efforts to eliminate. In fact, every native soldier of the Lan Fang National Defense Forces who are selected are good.
The plan proposed by Germany was rejected by China. Germany was more or less unhappy, but then, like a bit of excuse, launched a plan of local soldiers, which made Germany speechless. Could this be the attitude towards allies and the strength of the colonial army? How could they not know that the reason why Germany was able to completely suppress Britain and France on the European continent was because of the correct tactics. In the early stage, it wiped out a large number of elite British and French troops, which greatly reduced their military quality. But on the other hand, after a large loss, part of them called the relationship between the colonial army. Due to various differences in the colonial army, the colonial army had problems in strength and communication skills.
Although a little unhappy, Germany needs these cannon fodder at this moment. As long as it is not as good as Italy, it can be accepted. If 500,000 is not enough, it will be 1 million, and if 1 million is not enough, it will be 1.5 million. Isn’t the Chinese? There are 1.5 million now, and there are more in the future. At most, it will be possible to use human life. Even a 2:1 or even 3:1 exchange is enough to stop the Allies on Mount Albis.
Currently, the personnel are in Lan Fang. Lan Fang and Germany are close allies, and the two sides are also diplomatic relations at the ambassador level. After personally observing the level of these soldiers, the native army left 800,000 in the Middle East, with more than 600,000 left, and the reserves were about 4 million. These personnel were urgently mobilized. After an intensified training, the final appearance of the German military officers was a good result. They were not as good as the local soldiers in Germany, but they were not much different from those of Britain and France. With a little training and enough officers and lower-level non-commissioned officers, they could raise a unit of 1 million.
The most important thing is that the long-term contact with Germany has sent a large number of international students to Germany. In addition, the recruitment of a large number of technical personnel from Germany has led to the entire China in German translation. Even in Lanfang, there are many people. When the language barrier has not been completely passed, this group of soldiers will learn about 100 daily words and phrases, barely enough to communicate, and then translate. After all these are in place, they will send troops.
The military officer used a detailed report and explained Lan Fang's preparations in detail, and the Germans were relieved. It turned out that Lan Fang and China did not refuse, but found a suitable alternative. It really made Lan Fang's army come to Germany, and there was no way. Sometimes, the guest army could not properly handle it. At most, it was coordination. Once the problem of thick line was coordinated, it was a big problem.
Now, there are qualified soldiers at the bottom and have mastered considerable military skills, even better than the new German army that has just joined the army. This is the biggest key. Although Germany lacks non-commissioned officers now, the number of additional officers in the millions is only a few thousand. These can still be drawn, and they are not elite troops. As long as they are qualified troops, they can resist on Mount Albis. Let’s pass the level in front of you first.
When the European War reached this level, even if Germany suffered very little losses, the cruel European War also caused nearly 2 million casualties in Germany. Germany, which had only more than 60 million people, had the ultimate mobilization ability without overseas colonies. Only under the condition of being drawn near the limit, did some of the troops attacking Russia. At this critical moment, if something happened to Italy, he had almost no choice, so he would be so embarrassed that the Allies would land in Italy.
The strategy for Russia has begun. At this time, it is absolutely inappropriate and not easy to open up the battlefield on the southern front. Now if there is a million troops, even if it takes two or three months to train and form, it needs to be supplemented with lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers. However, for Germany, there are more people on hand. The best thing is that this is still the first batch. Obviously, as long as you perform enough, according to Lan Fang, there will be at least 3 million.
Seeing such bold words, Germany understood in his heart that this was also the way Lan Fang reduced the instability factors. Just like what the Germans did in Belgium and France before, reducing the local population and increasing the control efforts, this was to occupy this land. Germany was not a saint, but many of their territory occupied. You should know that in this era, Germany had nearly 700,000 square kilometers of land, and later Germany had only more than 400,000. After the defeat of World War I, it returned to the Lorraine region of France and East Prussia, the land ceded from Poland, and they had no obsession with the breaking ground. Germany was Prussia that unified many of Germany's principalities and was finally established. This is the mainstream of this world.
In the 21st century, the world has formed a fixed pattern, and there are few large-scale changes in territory, but this is the early 20th century. There are naked jungle laws among countries. Under such laws, it is normal to occupy territory. Poland did not exist in this era and had long been divided. Now, Germany has controlled Belgium and northern France, as long as Germany can win this war, it is normal to not return it and incorporate it into Germany's territory.
Among the countries around the world, Britain, the former world hegemon, did not draw land to its homeland. The reason is very simple. Britain is an island country, and it is difficult to occupy any territory in Europe, so it simply does not occupy it. As for other parts of the world, it is mainly colonies. France is a feud with Germany, with Germany blocked it, and surrounded by big powers, so it has no way to expand. Germany completed the gradual expansion from the Principal of Prussia, became the German Empire, and became the largest country in Europe.
To know what the Chinese want to do, there is no guilt for the Germans. They need cannon fodder. The Chinese need to deal with it without trace. Just like the labor exported before, they will not go to the office to get the number of people who die. As long as the annual fee is paid, it will be fine. Reducing the density of people can greatly enhance their control over the land, and even immigration will come much easier. As long as there are 20 years, when the Germans fill these newly occupied territories, who can take away this place?
The two sides reached an agreement on this issue. One side lacks soldiers, the other side has soldiers, and the joins the German Wehrmacht, which is managed by Germany, and even the salary problem is solved by Lan Fang. Germany only needs equipment, but there are not many problems compared to previous expectations. Germany has even begun to consider that if Italy really can't stand it, joining the Allies, they may get the benefits. Italy's northern territory is still good, and even Italy's territory is a good place to produce food, especially the population. Italy is not as good as Germany, but there is still a population of tens of millions. Although Italy has enough noodles and cannot be regarded as a soldier, it is very high to use it as a worker. The agreement between the Northwest and Germany, regardless of the efficiency of the people, is calculated based on the head. It is calculated by a person's $40 a year. This is another hundreds of millions.
Germany, which had been sweet in France and Belgium, almost saw the enemy's territory. The first thing they thought was not the land, but how many people could be captured here. How good was it to be captured? Throw these populations to China in a row without considering the issue of supporting them. They obtained independent income every year. The land and factories were still produced by the Chinese, and at most some machines were replaced. This was equivalent to the interests of two aspects. Carefully calculated, it was even higher than the original country. How could such a highly efficient method not be promoted? Until now, in the European War, Germany remained strong. Even under the premise of Lan Fang sending troops, the 1.5 million army was almost unhesitant. What does this mean? Germany still has spare energy.
In this way, the interests between the two were unified, and there were some strange Lan Fangtu mercenaries in the entire history of war. This was established and fought on the European war stage. (~^~)
