Chapter 654 We need the madman Nikolai!
Whitehall, London.
The conference room was crowded with people. Not only British officials, including Prime Minister Lloyd George, arrived, but also several liaison officers from France, the United States and other countries came to the famous conference hall.
The reason for coming here is very simple, because the war situation has changed significantly!
As the staff pointed to the map to introduce the situation that almost all over the world began in full swing, everyone's face became solemn, nervous and uneasy at the beginning.
And all this has something to do with the Far East arsonist!
First of all!
After the Far East arsonist reached into Mesopotamia, occupied Socotra Island, and isolated the Indian battlefield from Europe, he has begun to send more troops to Greater Kuwait. The first naval mine clearance team has also arrived at the port of Muscat. Now his footsteps are only a few steps away from Europe. Once he fights Through the Strait of Hormuz, a steady stream of transport fleets will arrive in Kuwait through there, and then pour into the four allies of Europe along the Baghdad Railway.
Even if it can continue to attack and destroy the railway line, everyone knows that unless the source is cut off, no one can completely prevent supplies and troops from entering Europe!
The Australian ground war has also begun. Under the bombardment of thousands of planes, new tanks and artillery, 500,000 Chinese troops are attacking South Australia from Northwest Australia along the railway line at the same time. 100,000 troops composed of North Korea, Japan and Siam have also arrived in Rabaul and boarded North Australia. Joining the Australian campaign is only half a step away! And it is said that the 2 million Chinese main forces stationed in Southeast Asia and ready to attack India are also ready to give up attacking Ceylon and India to support Australia!
If the following information is true, everyone feels that their scalp is numb. The total population of Australia and New Zealand and the troops stationed there are only about 4.2 million, but they have to face the enemy like a wolf, which is equivalent to the total population. Perhaps it is only a matter of time before they fall.
His 200,000 marines, with the help of dozens of warships, have solved the Solomon Islands and are about to attack the New Hebrides, Toulouse and Samoa, less than 1,300 nautical miles from the vital Nouméa!
The second batch of 300,000 troops composed of China and North Korea have also arrived in the Cologne Islands and are constantly being transferred from there to Colombia. They will unite 100,000 Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Colombian troops and then go to Panama. According to the plan issued by the General Staff of Xinhua, they will be in 6 A month ago, the number of allied forces stationed in Panama was increased to 500,000, and with the troops of the Colon Islands and Pearl Harbor, the total number of troops facing the American continent will also reach one million!
In order to resist them, the United States has invested 3.5 million troops to the West Coast and 1.3 million troops to Panama. It is said that even the untrained soldiers who have just been recruited have been recruited have been pulled up. According to Lieutenant General Pershing, who has just returned to the United States from Mexico and has taken over as the command of the Panama zone, he We need less than 2 million troops!
God!
In Alaska, the madman Li Mo also invested 60,000 troops. He not only completely controlled the Aleutian Islands, but also stationed a squadron in the port of Holland. Except for 10,000 Chinese marines, the rest are Japanese and North Korean troops. These two countries have become his trump card players!
The harsh environment of Aragas means that the United States and Canada need to invest at least ten times the army to expel these 50,000 people! This is really worrying. Does the United States still have an army to send?
The United States has human resources. That country has a population of more than 90 million, but the problem is that 30% of them are people of color, and white Americans don't like war. After all, they went to the United States to find peace. If they like war, it's better to stay in Europe! What's more, it doesn't have any war background, and it doesn't know how to fight at all!
Coupled with the continuous defeats of the navy, the confidence of the United States in the war began to decline. Although its factory was full of horsepower, although his shipyard was covered with keels and tanks were built one after another, President Wilson was doing his best to arm more troops, but even if he vowed to protect every inch of American territory, he still did not People see that the United States is beginning to regain confidence.
No one knows when the world's largest economic power will stand up in war, or maybe they can't stand up at all.
What makes everyone more dumbfounded is that after Li Mo's madman arranged so many battlefields at the same time, he has begun to fully attack Western Siberia. According to the current intelligence, including logistics personnel, this time he has invested in a total of more than 200 troops and launched the largest land battle since the beginning of the war, plus technology. Russia is in big trouble. Once pushed to Ufa by the [***] team, Russia's most important and prosperous European region will be shrouded in dragon claws.
That will be a terrible thing!
Summarizing everything in the staff officer's mouth, everyone only got a signal that the madman in the Far East, the arsonist, took advantage of the navy and waved the war into the most **.
How did he do it? How to ensure that the logistics transportation of the two battlefields reaches more than 20,000 kilometers at the longest distance of the two battlefields? Are the Chinese really only participating in the war for less than a year? How to prepare more than all the all the allied countries? Most importantly, has he tried his best, or is he still keeping his strength?
Everyone can't believe that these are true, but Marshal Kitchinner knows better than anyone that he can purchase millions of weapons and ammunition without telling the parliament before the war, so the madman who exists almost like a god in China, and there will be millions of fanatical young people to pick up guns for him in one sentence. It can secretly prepare, prepare materials, produce equipment, and manufacture ammunition as early as a few years ago!
So, Marshal Kitchinner knows better than anyone that he and his country are far from reaching the limit!
Marshal Kitchinner stood up, because before facing the army before Li Mo, he had something important to do. He glanced at the Prime Minister and everyone present, pointed to the map and shouted, "I have to go to Russia once, because our friends are in trouble, but.
Before that, let's take a look at a set of numbers!
In Europe!
In the past two years, France has mobilized 8.8 million soldiers from a population of 40 million, and Russia has mobilized more than 100 million people, mobilized 13.5 million! Later, they joined allies such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece, and they also mobilized a total of 6 million! The United States has also shipped 200,000 troops to Europe.
And China has mobilized 9 million from white people in mainland China, Australia, Canada and other places, of which 6.5 million are in Europe, plus colonial troops, the total number of European troops has reached 9.5 million, with a total of 13 million in the world.
Look at our opponents, Germany has mobilized 11 million troops with a population of 70 million, 6 million Austro-Hungarian troops, 1.7 million Bulgarians, and 2.7 million Ottomans. What does this mean?
It shows that they are starting to lag behind, and that they are being suppressed!
Although we had a total of 11.7 million soldiers killed and injured in the previous passive, our enemies also paid a price of more than 4 million, so we still have power! It's not the time for despair!
Now, the biggest problem in front of us is the East!
The arsonist has mobilized 7 million troops, plus Japan, North Korea and other Far East countries, he can invest more than 10 million troops at a time!
But in fact, he hasn't done his best, because he joined the war a year later than us, so he is far from reaching the limit, but limited by time, manufacturing and transportation capacity. If it is based on population alone, his maximum war mobilization force will reach more than 40 million!"
Marshal Kitchener's serious and cold figures made everyone present take a breath of cold air, 40 million? You can drown any country without fighting. No, it will flood the whole of Europe!
"Although his army has arrived in Mesopotamia, and although he has begun to attack Western Siberia, trying to open up the Russian channel and join forces with Germany, it will take time!" Marshal Kitchiner continued: "It will take time to cross the Indian Ocean to Mesopotamia or to the vast West Siberia! And he also needs to face the containment of the United States and Australia.
A few months ago, our attack on Saint-Mille and Verdon had consumed a large number of German troops, and their forces began to be stretched, so we still had a chance to change.
Now the main troops that can be deployed by Germany are attracted to the Verdun region. There are less than 35 divisions on the southern line of Paris, so I have discussed with Xia Fei. We are ready to start the battle of the Normandy region. This battle will be mainly attacked by China, the United States and Spain, and the arms supported by the United States have been partially offset. Da, this time we will invest another 70 divisions and 2 million brave soldiers, and push all the way to the Somme area at any cost, so that we can form a north-south attack with Verdun and drive the German [***] team around Paris to prepare for the recapture of Paris!
In addition, the 300,000 allied forces of Greece, Italy and Portugal will land in Serbia in a week and cooperate with the Serbian army and the Russian [***] team to attack Austria-Hungary. They will contain all the living forces of Austria-Hungary, Osman and Bulgaria.
What we have to do now must persuade Nicholas II to give up the struggle with Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, give up the idea of fully counterattacking Western Siberia, shrink the troops to the defense of Ufa, and first cooperate with us to launch a big offensive from the east, strive to consume Germany to the greatest extent, and defeat a fist of the alliance first. "!"
Marshal Kitchiner withdrew his arm and his voice began to be low: "But the recent news has made me very uneasy. The turmoil in Russia has begun to intensify. The Bolsheviks are constantly inciting ignorant people to give up the war. I believe you all know the important surnames of Russia. Their troops in Europe have taken over our total. One-third of the force! Although they are not short of combat effectiveness, they do not lack courage. The most important thing is that he has a manpower advantage that we can't reach!
So I will not only go to Russia to meet Nicholas II and those nobles, and I hope you can understand how important it is to support and arm Russia, we."
"Report!"
Marshal Kitchinner's words were interrupted, but no one blamed him, because it must be amazing to interrupt the news of such an important meeting, so everyone looked at the secretary who came to report.
"General." The secretary handed the telegram to Lieutenant General Redrick Hamilton and said excitedly, "They're coming out, they're coming out!"
"They?" Lieutenant General Redrick Hamilton's heart shrank and immediately opened the telegram. Then he looked at it and clenched his fist, and the joy was overflowing with words.
"Redric? What's going on?" Prime Minister Lloyd George immediately asked.
"Prime Minister, they are coming out!" Lieutenant General Redrick Hamilton said excitedly, "The intelligence officers have just sent a message. They have confirmed that the German high seas fleet will set sail in five days!"
"Great!"
After getting the news of the departure of the German high seas fleet, not only the captain of the navy breathed a sigh of relief, but also Marshal Kitsne was relieved, which meant that Jelico's local fleet finally ended the long wait and kicked the Germans' buttocks fiercely!
Everyone knows that as long as it can defeat the German high seas fleet, Britain is willing to pay any price, because if it can disarm the German navy, it is equivalent to emptying at least 20 main warships.
In addition, the first batch of ships built by the United States, Britain and France after the war will be gradually delivered after June this year. As long as the current situation is delayed to the second half of the year, all new warships can be put into the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, completely breaking the maritime advantage of the arsonist!
In the face of several times the number, even if the technical advantage cannot be completely offset, it can at least level the gap, instead of watching the transport ships running back and forth, we can only rely on slow submarines to disturb!
This is good news!
Prime Minister Lloyd George even wanted to shout to express his depression, but before he got up, another hurried figure suddenly changed the conference room from a heater to an ice cellar!
"Prime Minister, it's not good!"
"There was a large-scale workers' strike in St. Petersburg, Russia. Mr. Ambassador said that at least 300,000 workers have been organized, and the number is still increasing, spreading to the whole Russian city, and Nicholas II has been surrounded in the palace!"
"What!"
"God, how is that possible?"
"Why is there no sign in advance!"
"Is it them?" Marshal Kitchinner's face changed suddenly. He knew the important surname of Russia better than anyone else. He paid more attention to Russia than everyone else, so when he heard it, he immediately stood up and gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it Lenin and his Bolsheviks?"
"Yes, they."
"Don't say it!" Before the secretary finished speaking, he was interrupted by Marshal Kitchinna's wave: "Order the 19th Army to board the ship immediately. I don't care whether the navy can provide protection or not. They must rush to Arkhangelsk as soon as possible!"
Marshal Kitchinner swept the audience coldly, put his hands on the table, and leaned over and said, "Gentlemen, at this moment, no matter what method you use, you must do your best. We need Russia and Nicholas II, a madman!"
