Compared with the sun never setting and the high attitude, President Yingjiang laughed after learning the news
"President, why are you laughing?"
Yingjiang's Guowuqing was a little puzzled by his president's sudden laughter. Judging from his reaction, it didn't look like he was laughing at the Hans!
"Haha, I just thought of something funny!"
President Will waved his hand and said casually
"Funny thing, are you referring to the fact that this young man became Prime Minister Hans? It does look a little funny!"
Qing Guowu echoed, but he misunderstood the president's meaning.
The president did not mean to laugh at Mainz.
"Don't underestimate this young man. I have seen him. He is a very outstanding guy. Since Hindenburg thinks so highly of him, there must be something extraordinary about him that impressed Hindenburg. Otherwise, with Hindenburg's With his cautious personality, he would not do such an incredible thing!
President Will said very seriously, but these words did not impress the Minister of National Defense. The latter just shrugged indifferently and quickly revealed the matter.
"Mr. President, this is General MacArthur's report from the Far East!"
In 1919, the intervention war against the woolly bears launched by the Sun Never Sets has lasted for two years now! In these two years, the Allied Powers not only launched attacks against the woolly bears from Eastern Europe, but also launched attacks from the Far East Attack.
The main army in the Far East is the coalition composed of Yingjiang, Zuoban and Tianchao.
Among them, China currently lacks a unified central government, so the troops sent by Tianchao are basically improvised troops from various warlords. Their training is poor and their equipment is rudimentary. After all, it is certainly impossible for these warlords to send out their elite troops. These troops must stay to help them fight the civil war.
After all, if they can't defeat the Mao Bears, they will not be able to defeat these warlords! The impact is not big, but whether they fight a civil war or not is a matter of life and death. The weight of the two is completely different!
The Celestial Empire is a country with a large population. Even after nearly ten years of civil war, the population of the Celestial Empire is still more than 100,000. With a population of 400 million, if such a large population is armed, it should be a very terrifying force. However
, China itself is only an agricultural country and lacks industry, so it cannot arm these people.
After knowing their attitude, they also knew their plans, so they did not place their hopes on the Chinese. For these people sent by the Chinese to the front line to make up for the numbers, the Allied forces treated them completely as laborers in accordance with the labor policy during World War I. Let them help the Allied forces dig trenches, transport supplies, transport the wounded, etc., and do not let them undertake combat tasks!
As for the combat troops, they are mainly composed of the army of the Far East. There was a battle, and Ziba won that time, but it failed to annex the Northeast of China, so Ziba has always been resentful.
To occupy the Northeast of China, they not only need to defeat China itself, but also the Far East. The army of Mao Xiong in the area is now in trouble. This is a rare opportunity for Foot Basin to send troops. Although they participated in the First World War, unlike other European countries, Foot Basin's own strength is not the same. It has not been weakened, but because orders from Europe have greatly increased during the war, the industry of Foot Basin has been greatly developed!
The development of industry has provided sufficient support for Foot Basin's militarism and expansionism, and the development of industry also requires the country to provide They are exploring overseas markets. Under this mutually reinforcing system, Footpot has shown an increasingly strong desire to expand externally in recent years.
Therefore, after Sun Never Sets issued the initiative, Footpot responded immediately and they sent out one after another. 150,000 troops went to the Far East to attack Mao Xiong.
This foot basin army is currently the main force of the Allied Powers in the Far East!
As for the second-ranked army, it is the army that never falls in the Far East colonies, including the garrisons in the Malay Peninsula and Lijiapo. , including part of the Xiangjiang garrison. The number of this army is about -30,000. Although their army has a small number of people, this army that never sets on the sun is responsible for the logistics supply and weapons and ammunition supply of the entire intervention army. , so the status is very high!
The third is Yingjiang's army. It is said to be third, but in fact, Yingjiang's army has more troops than the sun never sets. They have dispatched about 50,000 land soldiers at this time!
Yingjiang does not have many troops in the Far East, because the mainland is too far away from the Far East, so Yingjiang cannot send hundreds of thousands of troops to fight like Footbath. They can only send a few thousand people from the mainland.
However, because Eagle Sauce defeated salted duck in the Spanish-American War in 1898, Eagle Sauce also had a place to stay in the Far East. This was the Luzon Kingdom in Southeast Asia. This country was originally a vassal state of the Celestial Empire and has always been The younger brother of the Celestial Dynasty, but in the late Ming Dynasty, with the gradual collapse of the Ming Dynasty, their control over overseas dependent countries was greatly reduced.
Banya, the overlord at the time, took advantage of this opportunity to seize Luzon and established a colony here.
After the Spanish-American War, Banya was completely defeated, so Yingjiang snatched Luzon from Banya and stationed troops here.
This time, among the coalition forces participating in the Allied Far East war against the Soviet Union, the main force of the US military was the garrison stationed north from Luzon. This army numbered approximately 40,000 people, including some Luzon indigenous people!
MacArthur's father, Arthur MacArthur Jr., once served as the governor of Luzon. MacArthur followed his father when he was young, so he was very familiar with the situation in Luzon. Therefore, after the war broke out, MacArthur was sent to Luzon. Go and integrate Luzon's army, and take these troops north to participate in the intervention war against the Mao Xiong.
The telegram in front of President Will was sent back by MacArthur not long ago in the name of the commander of the US military intervention force!
President Will picked up the telegram and read it. After putting down the telegram, he frowned.
"The situation in the Far East does not look good!"
President Will said worriedly to Qing Guowu. Qing Guowu had read this telegram a long time ago, so he also agreed with the president's view.
"Although our army defeated the Mao Xiong people, the Mao Xiong people retreated back to the Chita area. This area is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the seaport of the Far East, and it also has to pass through the northeastern region of China. Since the Feng Faction warlords in the Northeast have not participated in the war, we cannot directly cross their territory to attack Mao Xiong!"
"Mr. President, do you think this is putting pressure on the Beiyang government of China? After all, the Beiyang government was under the control of the Feng clique warlords at this time!"
Qing Guowu tentatively said to President Will. He was actually not sure whether this would work.
"It's useless. The problem is not with China, but with the distance. Chita is too far from Vladivostok, and the local road conditions and infrastructure are really bad. In such a vast land with sparse people and ice and snow, Fighting on the snowfield, it is extremely difficult to advance one kilometer, let alone 1,000 kilometers. If we really attack the furry bear people's lair, we will be overwhelmed by our own logistics!"
"So what are we going to do?"
"Just wait, we can withdraw our troops when Europe decides the winner!"
