Sending four fantasy-class ships to retaliate against the United States is just the first step in participating in the war. However, what really concerns China's participation in the war depends on the other hand, the navy can only attack and use its maritime power to help the Chinese gain a certain advantage. What really solves the problem depends on the army. Only when it truly lands in the army can the problem be solved and broaden its huge territory for China.

Regardless of whether China wants to do so or not, China has entered a state of war. Although it is still calm and is ready for the future, it is necessary to expand its military. China's territory is too large. Even if the major powers in the world are very far away from China, they cannot take risks. Besides, Russia and Japan are still eyeing each other.

At the end of 1915, due to the declaration of war by the Allies, the entire international situation changed. In the past, only Europe was fighting, and the United States was only involved. Now another influential power has been dragged into the war. This is still in Asia, and even the United States' means against Chinese people have caused irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides. So will China and the United States fight directly? Asia and America will also be shrouded in war.

If the United States, Britain and France declared war on China, Japan is the happiest thing. After the war broke out, Japan wanted to seize the colonies in Shandong and chose to attack China, but was defeated by the northwest. The army and navy were almost severely damaged. After finally recovering, they connected Russia to take action together, but they implicated Russia and were wiped out millions of troops.

China was finally unified, and China also used its strong strength to prove that it would grow into a superpower. How could Japan accept it? The distance between China and Japan was too close. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan continued to develop and took advantage of the international situation to get along with the help of the international situation. Finally, it has reached this point and is about to enter the mainland. When it acquires huge territory, China suddenly awakened. This country with a huge territory and a long history and endless population has completed industrialization. Once it has completed industrialization, it is not a small country like Japan that can deal with it. Could it be that Japan's decades of efforts, glory and so on must be shrouded under China?

But at this time, the giants of the three Allied countries, Britain, France and the United States, declared war on China, which seemed like a huge backstage, supporting Japan. As long as China is destroyed by Britain, France and the United States, Japan will still have a day to stand out.

In comparison, Russia, who is in a state of war with China, is not as happy as Japan. It was supposed to have declared war between Russia and China, but now it is declared war. Their purpose is not to help Russia at all. After two years of war, a large number of people were sacrificed and the entire Siberia was still lost. Russia was almost severely damaged, but in the stall where Russia was attacked and even Baku was occupied, no country tried to lend a helping hand. Using Russia as a gun, and even when Russia knew about the purpose of the United States, it was rejected. The Americans even asked Russia to pay off its previous debts.

The differences between the Allies proved that Russia has no effect anymore. They no longer regard him as an alliance of the same level, but because the alliance cannot be dealt with, otherwise they might have taken action.

Russia's mentality. Let Russia deal with passively in the next war. In the next two years, it will only defend passively and not launch a large-scale war. Of course, it is also related to Russia's current strength. It has only more than 4 million mobilization capabilities at most. Without sufficient weapons and equipment, they can only protect themselves.

In the development process, Siberia has not become the focus of conscription. Other places are divided into four regions, northwest, northeast, north China, south China and southwest. Among them, northwest, north China and south China are the focus. Before the founding of China, more than 70% of the population in China was concentrated in the northwest. After the founding of China, I calmed down the population, and a large number of people returned home, which also set off a wave of construction in non-northwest regions. Finally, China's traditional densely populated areas, North China and South China, have become second only to the northwest.

Recruitment requires population, so the more intense the recruitment force is in densely populated areas. Cai E and other senior military officials went to different areas to carry out recruitment work.

China's huge population does not require general mobilization during wartime. If it is mobilized in accordance with the general mobilization during wartime, with one-tenth of mobilization ability, China can now recruit 52 million people, which is more than France's total population during World War I.

The 50 million-level mobilization was not very effective in the First World War. China was far away from the core of the European War. If it wanted to send troops, it could only go through the sea, from its homeland to the Arabian Peninsula, and then go to Europe by 3B railway, or simply fight from Russia. The former was too far away, and it was a journey from China to Malacca to the Middle East. As for the latter, it seemed that China had obtained Yekaterinburg, which was only one step away from the European part of Russia. However, the Ural Mountains were crossing in front of him like a natural danger. As long as Russia blocked the pass of the Ural Mountains slightly, it could withstand China's military front. Without the complete price of the Siberian Railway, it was a terrible attack on this side.

There is no need to mobilize in wartime, but it is still possible to increase it slightly. It is only necessary to incorporate some second-line troops and preparations into the army. With a little addition of a certain amount of recruitment, China can raise 12 million troops, plus 4 million Lanfang Army and 16 million troops, which can be the world's top.

Of course, the reason why these senior military leaders are in charge of all directions is to prevent the expansion of conscription. After all, modern wars, especially mechanized wars like China, have huge logistical pressure. In addition, China needs to supply materials from the entire Allied countries, so there are more requirements for industry. Without affecting production capacity to the greatest extent, the draw of soldiers, at least some intermediate or above workers will not belong to the conscript camp unless it is strongly requested by individuals.

This not only ensures the number of troops but does not have much impact on China's industrial production. This is the real conscription. Because of the strong number, even if China is prepared for a long time, it can greatly expand its troops. The Chinese field army's requirements for soldiers, even if the outbreak of a world war, will not lower them. Therefore, it will take at least one year for a new force to form an army, which means that China may take a year before it can truly intervene in the world war.

Of course, before the large-scale expansion of the army, China already had a total field army of 6 million. If these troops were firmly defending the country, it would take about 5 million, 3 million on the Russian front line. The remaining 2 million would be stationed in the entire China, so one million people could be used. Although there were not many people in this part, with the continued training and a small number of replacements, 1 million people could be drawn every three months in the next year, which is quite considerable.

Cai E and others have also had a high efficiency in recruitment in various places. In itself, the Chinese army is the object of the people's most admired. They not only defend their country, but also appear from time to time in daily life. Almost when there are natural disasters, the army appears. With the help of the media, joining the army has become the thing that many people most hope for. However, the requirements of the army have always been relatively high and there are not many people recruiting each time.

The recruitment conditions that have been opened now have doubled the number, which is more than usual for China's military expansion speed, and registrations have immediately begun to rise.

Registration points located in major cities are coming every day. Large cities with densely populated areas will set up more registration points to meet more registration needs. In some small counties and even rural areas, some mobile registration points will be popularized. Although most of the land in rural China is controlled by the Production and Construction Corps, there are also some vegetable farmers who like agriculture, or in the suburbs, who specialize in supplying vegetables to cities.

Compared with grain crops that can be produced on a large scale, growing vegetables consumes more labor and is not suitable for mechanized production. If it were a few years ago, when China had not developed, most of China's vegetables were planted in vegetable gardens, which was also considered some side jobs for farmers. However, with mechanized production, China's demand for farmers is becoming less and less, the vegetable garden model can no longer provide more and more Chinese demand for vegetables. Some farmers who work hard to grow vegetables have emerged on the edge of the city.

Compared with China in the past, China now has improved its identity registration information. China's high welfare is all issued based on these registration information. This is the most basic condition for joining the army.

The current household registration information is quite complete, not only including basic information, such as gender, address, hometown, family relationship, etc., but also personal education and technical level. This is also closely related to various welfare benefits, unless someone can tolerate the pain of enjoying low welfare for a long time, just to become a member of the army.

Such a willingness can be called very firm. For such a willingness, as long as it is not a particularly important scientific researcher, or a technician above level seven, is allowed to enter the army in principle. Even these people with unique skills are useful in entering the army. Whether it is the maintenance of armored corps or special military fields, such high-tech personnel are needed.

However, this time the recruitment was 6 million, and more of the field army. In addition to the strategic decisions of the officers, the fight between the lower-level soldiers was indispensable. The quantity and quality were almost as important. (~^~)
