Chapter 649 You can't force him to the enemy!

Yanjing, railway station.

The platform is full of soldiers from all over the world. Some are greeting their friends, and some are saying goodbye to their relatives.

This is a military train to Western Siberia. Ordinary people can't know how many special military trains to the Northwest Theater this winter, and even many senior officers don't know the specific numbers, but Zhang Zuolin is very clear that this is the 4,313th train to the northwest since last winter, according to the number of days. On average, there are as many as 35 special trains to the war zone every day.

The seemingly inadvertent number reflects the mobilization ability of a country. It also sends trains to a point. In its heyday, Germany could reach 43 trains per day, France could reach 37 trains, and Britain 30 trains per day. However, since last winter last winter, the United States, there were only 3,200 military trains sent to the west, and only Xinhua at the same time. 70% of the period, 27 columns per day.

Is the transportation capacity of the United States insufficient? Or are the railway trusts not cooperating? Is it because the United States thinks that the West Coast is not critical yet?

Neither. In terms of railway mileage, Xinhua is not much worse than that of the United States, but in terms of locomotive ownership, it is only 70% of that of the United States. The reason for such a big gap is that the mobilization ability of the United States has begun to have problems!

Although this data may be inaccurate, it reflects the cohesion of these countries and nations, which is not caused by strength, but by the attitude of people of all countries towards war.

In addition to this number, there is another set of interesting figures. Within ten days of Germany's declaration of war, a total of 3 million reserves were mobilized. Xinhua was 4.5 million, while the United States did not recruit the first batch of 4 million soldiers until the third month after joining the war. Excluding the proportion of the population of each country, although it is lower than Germany, it is much higher than United States.

The deep reason for this phenomenon of upside-down with national strength is that ordinary Americans do not know what war is at all. The lack of war is the biggest problem in this emerging immigrant country. When they ate their ears and began to hold a house full of gold and silver, a neighbor with a knife suddenly came to the side. I'm obviously not used to it.

On the other hand, the bones of the Chinese people are soaked with the blood of their ancestors. Bai Qi, Li Mu, Huo Qubing and other famous names are almost known to women and children among the people. People remember the most, and the wild history is the favorite, all of which are wars and soldiers.

The land of Shenzhou with thousands of years of vicissitudes is itself a history of war. Compared with Xinhua, which still has the idea of imperial power in its bones, the United States is just an immigrant country with no background. Differences in cultures and values between the East and the West have led to a completely different attitude towards war, although the emperor put forward the combat theory of decisive foreign countries and After thinking, the war almost spread to the border, but countless Chinese sons and daughters did not relax their vigilance. What's more, the emperor deliberately used newspapers, radio and other means to publish some news such as the trapped troops and the sacrifice of those soldiers. They came to beat the country all the time, so that everyone would not forget the war. It's really around.

Under the dual role of thought and propaganda, I dare not say an iron plate, but at least before the war is clear, no one dares to jump out and say anything, which gradually forms a joint force. After the initial turmoil, now everyone has found their place, from the funding of the Prime Minister's Office to the rapid review of the parliament. , and then work overtime in the factory to produce, and finally load the train and ship to the army and the war zone, which has formed a model similar to the factory assembly line.

What impressed him most was that the emperor decided to open the opening with a counterattack. Although there were some means and even some insidious, it encouraged the enthusiasm of the whole country to fight back and vowed to destroy the enemy. When this enthusiasm gradually deepened and the brewing broke out, it formed Today's strong national mobilization ability.

The United States has recently been in big trouble. First of all, the big domestic capitalists have been swaying after the war hit their doorstep. The idea of making a fortune from the war has become fear, especially after the Gulf of Panama, which is particularly obvious. President Wilson claimed that he would continue to recruit millions of soldiers, and even expressed his approval. All the people are soldiers, but there are few responders. On the contrary, the anti-war slogan is getting stronger, so many white Americans are unwilling to join the army now. It is said that the American political axe is considering allowing Mexicans and black people to join the army to make up for their military needs.

I really don't know how much trouble Wilson would cause to govern his rule if Wilson really opened this way, the white-oriented isolationism that has always existed in the United States.

It seemed that he had thought a little far. Zhang Zuolin smiled and withdrew his mind. After looking at the watch, he got into the officer's carriage with his bag.

"Rain Pavilion?"

Zhang Zuolin turned his head and saw Tang Xiao also holding his bag, standing at the door of the sleeper box and waving to himself.

"Lord Tang, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's hard work." Before Zhang Zuolin finished asking, Fatty Tang, who had been blessed in the past two years, began to nagging: "It's not our emperor. He asked me to immediately mobilize 2,000 trucks to transport them to the northwest. I'm going to play the outpost. Why do you think my life is so hard? There are a bunch of bastards below, really."

Zhang Zuolin shook his head and smiled bitterly. This guy's temper and surname remained unchanged, and he was still like a woman nagging, but no one dared to deny that he was indeed capable. Up to the war, the equipment and security of millions of troops could only be arranged in an orderly manner. He made great contributions, and even the emperor once said in private that a Tang Xiao has several armored divisions.

However, he also has shortcomings, that is, he doesn't trust the people below him very much. He always likes to rush to the front and take care of everything. In this way, the efficiency of the equipment and security department is high, but the talent and management experts are far inferior to other departments. For this matter, the emperor scolded him a lot, but this guy has this temper and can't be idle.

In fact, everyone also knows that he is not a person who misses power, but that the scale of the war is too large to be sloppy at all, so he dealt with it tremblingly and carefully. Fortunately, several good helpers have emerged in the equipment department during this period, and he is finally suffering.

" By the way, aren't you in the general reference? Why, was it distributed by Chen Ping? Do you want me to scold him for you?

"Lord Tang, please forgive me. If this is heard by the Chief of Staff, something may have happened." Zhang Zuolin was really speechless to this open-mouthed guy. After getting into the box and putting the box, he smiled and said, "I have something to do when I go to the northwest this time. By the way, I will take a look at my old classmate Sun Jiugong."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Tang Xiao sucked his nose and suddenly closed the box door and said in a low voice, "Is it related to Commander Zhao?"

"Why did you think of this?"

"Bullshit, I heard that the emperor summoned him alone recently and scolded him. He said that he didn't know how heavy his bones were after winning several battles. After he came back, he went to Australia to supervise the war. Isn't it obvious that he was a match!" Tang Xiao said.

"Come on, don't guess. It has nothing to do with Commander Zhao when I go to the northwest. As for him when he went to Australia, because Australia was too important to us, now he needs someone to sit temporarily, which has nothing to do with the emperor summoning him." Zhang Zuolin quickly waved his hand and said, "One north and one south is the key this year. We can't make a wrong time."

"I know this." Tang Xiao asked like a curious baby, "Yuting, I know you are well-informed. Do you think Commander Zhao suddenly went to Australia because of the tension of the war?"

"Yes!" Zhang Zuolin pulled the pillow and leaned against the narrow bed and nodded: "There is nothing else."

"Oh." Tang Xiao nodded and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Zhao Long and I have been friends for many years. I don't want anything to do with him."

His look made Zhang Zuolin laugh secretly. In the past few days, there have been rumors that Commander Zhao Long suddenly went to Australia. Many people privately said that it was because he proposed that the idea of attacking Ufa was not liked by the emperor, so he was assigned. But who knew that the emperor was not angry because of this plan at all.

The emperor frowned after Commander Zhao put forward a surprise attack plan that day, because he saw aggressiveness in Commander Zhao, Speaker Rong Kui and others. With the victory of the war, in fact, many people in China have this problem, even themselves.

There is another reason for this, that is, everyone hopes to win all of Western Siberia at present, but they did not expect that if Russia really loses the whole of Western Siberia, so after the recent emergency of the war in Australia, the emperor deliberately arranged Commander Zhao to inspect the town at this time, taking this opportunity to give it to the country. Some people poured cold water, and by the way, they also made everyone understand that Western Siberia really can't be occupied.

However, it is said that Commander Zhao really realized his mistake before going to Australia, so he had to see the emperor alone. Unexpectedly, it turned into a rumor that the emperor summoned him to scold him.

Zhang Zuolin took a breath quietly. As the wheels rolled and started, his mind turned to the upcoming battle of the northwest. He didn't know that Sun Jiugong knew that the emperor didn't want the whole West Siberia.

========"Commander Zhao went to Australia?"

Sun Jiugong pressed the telegram on the table, looked up at Shoushan and asked, "Is it because of the surprise attack on Ufa?"

"I don't know, but some people say yes." Shoushan walked to the map and said, "It's 1,800 kilometers from Omsk to Ufa. Kunpeng bombers can't cover so far one way, and there are 100,000 Russian troops stationed there, and 30,000 Cossack cavalry who escaped from Tomsk. They only rely on five trains and can only transport tens of thousands of people at a time, so Commander Zhao This plan is really too aggressive!"

Sun Jiugong didn't know that Commander Zhao Long's plan was a little aggressive this time, but if he was blamed, it was not like the emperor's surname. In fact, the emperor himself was a person who liked to take risks in the past. Although he changed a lot later, he did not distribute Commander Zhao for such a little thing, so there must be him here. I want to take this opportunity to knock on the people below and remind everyone, but there should be anything else.

What does it mean?

Holding his arms, Sun Jiugong slowly walked to the map and looked at the distant Ufa. His eyebrows suddenly jumped twice, and an idea suddenly rose, "Doesn't the emperor want the whole West Siberia?"

This suddenly raised idea made Sun Jiugong seem to catch something, because from a geographical point of view, if it really wants to fight Ufa, I'm afraid that Russia will not be willing to surrender and withdraw from the war. Over the years, he has had many Russians to do with, and this nation also has its own surname. If it is regarded as the last barrier in the east. The fall of the Ural Mountains is almost the same as the subjugation of the country. If this happens, I'm afraid that whoever is in power must accelerate his turn to the Ally. Even if he has no choice but to withdraw from the war, it is impossible to let the Xinhua train transit to support Germany.

If this is the case, the Qiming plan is half a failure.

From the emperor's perspective, he will not be unaware of this. Europe and Germany will certainly not let Xinhua spread its power to the Ural Mountains, so in addition to warning everyone not to rush forward this time, he should take this opportunity to tell everyone that the Ural Mountains cannot be occupied!

But this doesn't make sense. Now the military power in my hand, after ensuring that the railway line is smooth, even if I occupy Ufa, as long as I don't cross the Ural Mountains, I won't have too much trouble. So why did the emperor choose this?

"Don't look. In fact, the emperor's meaning is very simple. We need to set up a big enemy for the future European and American world, so we can't force him to the enemy now!" Zhang Zuolin walked into the headquarters with a smile and took out a thick book from his bag.

The name of the book is Red Manifesto.
