At the end of December 1918, General Wei Zhiyong, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was reporting the latest situation in Europe to the imperial emperor Yuze at the end of December 1918. Chief of Staff Marshal Cai Yun and Army Minister Marshal Zhao Bowen were also in the study.
"Your Majesty, the monarchs of the various member states of the Holy Alliance held a secret meeting at the Worry-free Palace in Potsdam on the 10th. The content of the meeting is unknown, but according to our speculation, it should be a discussion on the expansion of the Holy Alliance for the preparations for war! Now, the Holy Alliance is the Holy Government.
All member states of the alliance have begun to prepare for war secretly!" General Wei Zhiyong reported!
"Can you get the details of the meeting? Or is it the specific military expansion plan for the Holy Alliance?" Wang Yuze asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, this is very difficult! This time Germany and other countries have strengthened their confidentiality work. We have lost several agents, but none of them have obtained valuable information!" General Wei Zhiyong said with regret. Because the East is the one in the world.
The gap between people and Westerners is too big. The agents of the Military Intelligence Agency overseas are basically recruited by Westerners. These agents can successfully invade Germany and members of the Holy Alliance, and live in
There are very few people at high positions. This makes it very difficult for China to obtain specific information from the Holy Alliance!
Wang Yuze nodded helplessly. The lack of intelligence has always been a big problem! When China and Germany were allies before, the intelligence agencies of both sides cooperated closely! At that time, a lot of the information about the Allies obtained by China was
It was revealed to China by Germany! Now that the two sides have entered into confrontation, the intelligence exchange has been cut off, and it will be even more difficult for China to obtain Western intelligence!
"Your Majesty, although you cannot know the specific information of the Holy Alliance, the General Staff, after careful speculation, believes that in the army, the total force mobilized by the Holy Alliance in the war is about 20 to 25 million!
Germany and Russia are the main force! The rest of the countries, especially the Kingdom of Italy, Spain and Portugal, are almost negligible!" said Chief of Staff Cai Yun. Among the Holy Alliance, the only one who poses a threat to China by the army is Germany
With Russia and other countries, not only the few troops, but also the combat power is very trash, and it has not been seen by the Chinese General Staff at all!
"Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Bureau has also obtained intelligence. Germany is exporting army weapons on a large scale to Russia! But basically they are light weapons! These weapons are enough to arm more than five million troops!" General Wei Zhiyong said!
"Hmph! Are the Russians trying to tear up the treaty they signed and start expanding their troops to prepare for war?" Wang Yuze said coldly. The treaty signed at the Beijing Peace Conference clearly stipulated that defeated countries such as Russia, Britain and Italy could
The number of troops they own. If they own more than this number of troops, it would be a blatant violation of the treaty and China could take military action against them!
"Your Majesty, the Germans have already thought of a solution! The expanded army of Russia, Britain and the Kingdom of Italy has been all incorporated into the German army, and they are also under the banner of Germany! There is no reason for us to punish sanctions for this.
They!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said!
"Damn it! That old guy William II spared no effort to fight against us! However, the final victory must belong to us!" Wang Yuze cursed! Germany's deliberate approach to fighting against China makes
He was worried, but more excited! As long as China could win again in this battle, then China would dominate the world!
"Your Majesty, we have never doubted victory! No matter how many troops Germany and the entire Holy Alliance equip them, we will defeat them in the end and completely eliminate them!" Marshal Cai Yun said!
"Haha! That's right, no matter how many troops they arm, the final victory will be ours!" Wang Yuze laughed! He is also full of confidence in future victory! He has changed the trajectory of historical development, and China before,
He has always been in victory, and he believes that he will continue to win in the future!
"By the way, is our military expansion plan formulated?" Wang Yuze asked. During the military expansion meeting of the Eastern Alliance, the Minister of Defense Marshal Jiang Xingguo promised that the Chinese Army would expand its troops to 10 million.
"Your Majesty, the General Staff, the Army Department and the Ministry of National Defense have jointly formulated a plan! After the Spring Festival, the military expansion plan will be officially launched! The Army will add 240 infantry divisions, 20 independent artillery brigades and 2nd
Ten armored brigades! In addition, the Marine Corps will also expand from the current ten divisions to thirty divisions! One airborne unit will be expanded to three brigades! If the war progresses smoothly, with the troops of the allies, we may
There is no need to expand the army to defeat the enemy!" Marshal Cai Yun said!
Wang Yuze nodded. Twenty artillery brigades, mainly heavy artillery brigades, to enhance the firepower of the Chinese Army! Although the army has established an army aviation, the aircraft cannot achieve artillery like artillery, forming all-weather and uninterrupted firepower support! Therefore, China
The Army still attaches great importance to the construction of artillery! The tanks equipped by the twenty armored brigades are mainly composed of China's latest mass-produced "Leopard" tanks, equipped with new light tanks and tracked armored vehicles.
Further enhance the assault capabilities of the Chinese Army’s armored forces!
After several years of development, the 'Leopard' tank finally reached Wang Yuze's requirements and began to be equipped with troops at the beginning of this year! All major arsenals in China have begun to produce this new tank with full efforts! With the production capacity of several major arsenals
, more than 500 Leopard-style tanks can be produced every month. So far, the armored brigades of the 22 armies have been replaced! The next Leopard-style tank will be equipped with newly formed armor
Brigade! If the war breaks out, the production capacity of major arsenals can be doubled!
T7'Leopard' tank, 8.36 meters long (bore barrel), 3.27 meters wide, 2.69 meters high, and 40 tons of combat weight! It uses a 700-horsepower diesel engine, with a maximum road speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and a maximum off-road
The speed is 25 kilometers per hour. The front armor is 80 mm thick, which can effectively resist the design of large-caliber anti-tanks 500 meters away. The side and rear armor thickness is 40 mm! Equipped with a 75 mm 42-caliber tank gun, which can
Break through a 30mm thick steel plate within 1,000 meters, and a 50mm thick steel plate within 800 meters, which is very powerful! Tank guns are equipped with 80 rounds of ammunition! There are two 7.62mm machine guns, with 500 rounds of ammunition!
As for the T8'Tiger-style heavy tank, which was highly anticipated by the Empire Emperor Yuze, it is still in a tense test and is expected to take at least a year to mass production! However, by that time, it should be the climax of the war
!
"Your Majesty, according to the latest information we have obtained, the battle time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire against the Kingdom of Serbia has been postponed! It is expected to be postponed by about a month! After three months of preparation, the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has not yet completed its assembly, and many wars have been fought.
No supplies arrived at the front line! It is said that Emperor Ferdinand I was furious about this!" General Wei Zhiyong reported!
"The combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army is worrying! Your Majesty, although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is known as the third largest power in the world, it is probably very difficult whether they can restrain Germany!" said Marshal Cai Yun, the Chief of Staff. China is in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
He has made heavy bets. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire performs poorly, then China's early investment will be wasted!
Wang Yuze also had a headache. He originally thought that after the baptism of the world war, even if the Austro-Hungarian Army was trash, it should have made progress! But now it seems that the improvement of the Austro-Hungarian Army is very limited!
Compared with the powerful German army, the Austro-Hungarian Army is no match for the most advanced weapons!
"Your Majesty, O'Neon Ferdinand I is preparing to inspect the troops invading the Kingdom of Serbia in Sarajevo on January 1! In order to show off the powerful force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Kingdom of Serbia! The Military Intelligence Bureau speculates that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is against the Kingdom of Serbia.
The invasion time will be around January 10th!" General Wei Zhiyong said!
"What? Ferdinand I was going to inspect the troops in Sarajevo?" Wang Yuze was shocked! Could it be that history would be repeated? Originally, Wang Yuze believed that World War I had broken out and Ferdinand I also successfully succeeded to the throne.
If he became the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then history had completely changed! But this time, Ferdinand I was going to inspect the troops in Sarajevo, which seemed to have another amazing coincidence with the history he knew!
General Wei Zhiyong, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of Staff, and Marshal Zhao Bowen, both looked at Wang Yuze in surprise, wondering why he was so shocked by Ferdinand I's inspection of the troops in Sarajevo.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" asked Marshal Cai Yun!
"You guys say, what kind of consequences will be if Ferdinand I was assassinated in Sarajevo and died?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, this should be unlikely! Ferdinand I was the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The confidentiality work will be very strict when traveling. Even if the Kingdom of Serbia wants to assassinate him, there will be no chance!" General Wei Zhiyong opposed
road!
"If this happens, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may fall apart!" Marshal Cai Yun said!
"Your Majesty, then do we want to warn the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" asked Marshal Zhao Bowen!
Wang Yuze hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, order the Third Fleet and the 21st Army stationed in the Mediterranean to prepare for combat!" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
