Chapter 1007 Preparing to Intervene

However, Russia’s performance in recent years can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and there has not been much development in the diplomatic and military fields. Although there are millions of gray animals, gray animals are still animals after all, and there are no The method is on par with other well-equipped European armies.

Throughout the history of Russian military development, there are almost no outstanding achievements. They all rely on the accumulation of cannon fodder and enemy consumption. When it comes to the specific details of the war, it is even more terrible. That is, the blood is too thick to support this kind of How to play.

Even though Russia defeated France in history, the enemy still captured the capital, set fire to Moscow, and relied on the weather to force Napoleon back to Western Europe.

Although this style of play achieved the final victory of the war, it was not worthy of praise in Ernst's opinion. On the one hand, the British were suppressing France in the east at that time. On the other hand, France (including the occupation of France) There were a large number of feudal aristocratic forces causing trouble within the region), and the fall of Moscow, the capital of Russia at that time, itself is a good illustration of the problem.

As long as the Russian army's combat level and military literacy are higher, it will not rely on the lives of gray animals to fill the victory. It can be said to be a victory that kills four hundred enemies and damages one thousand. That is to say, Russia has a large population in this era. And only those who can survive can support this war situation.

So in Ernst’s view, Russia’s military capabilities are not as strong as the “combat nation” boasted by some self-media in previous lives.

Of course, it is undeniable that the resilience of the Russians is worthy of recognition. Every time the enemy thought they could strangle Russia to death, the Russians were able to turn defeat into victory. This shows to a certain extent that within Russia, especially at the highest levels, Non-capitulationists who had a tough attitude towards foreign enemies accounted for the majority. At least according to the history Ernst learned in his previous life, this is the basic fact.

As for Russia’s diplomacy, it is even more terrible. Whether it is Russia, the Soviet Union, or later Russia, the level of diplomacy is a mess. Whenever a Bismarck-like figure appears, Russia will not always be the one being criticized. The one that the "whole world" was encircling and suppressing.

Of course, it cannot work in the military and diplomatic fields. The fundamental reason is that the national strength is not strong enough, and the economic level plays an important role in the national strength.

The highlight moment of the Russian economy was the Soviet period, which was also the time when Russia was closest to world hegemony. It is a pity that the "stupid, clumsy" Russians could not beat the Americans after all.

Thinking of this, Ernst said: "At the completion stage of our First Five-Year Plan, there is a high probability that Japan and Russia will go to war. Now Britain is transfusing blood to Japan and letting it fight against Russia instead of Britain."< br>
Director of the Defense Security Agency Morin frowned and said Said: "With Japan's national strength, it is unlikely that they will challenge Russia!"

Molin thinks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea is a bit surprising. Although the National Defense and Security Bureau has more dealings with Japan, Japan's national strength is really It is difficult to imagine how to confront a world-class power like Russia.

Ernst understands his subordinates’ thoughts very well. This is also the view of most countries in the world towards Japan. In Ernst’s view, Japan’s true status as a great power was achieved through its victory over Russia. .

Although Japan has defeated a world power like the Far Eastern Empire, no one would think that Japan is powerful, but that the Far Eastern Empire is too weak at this time, and defeating Russia would be different. Although Russia's level is not too high, but the whole world can There are only a handful of countries that say they are sure to win against Russia.

“You who have been dealing with Japan for many years should know very well that Japan is a country that cannot be underestimated. Their culture has a kind of madness, and it is this madness that makes all Japanese people sleepless and eat. They work less and do more machines, and the mental state of the Japanese is not normal human beings at all."

Molin thought for a moment about Ernst's words, and then thought about the social conditions in Japan. I have to admit that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said makes sense.

“As His Highness said, the Japanese are indeed a bunch of lunatics. It is difficult to find a hard-working human group like Japan in the world today, and are crazy and superstitious about the Japanese imperial government.”

“ Members of our Japanese branch say that although the Japanese are short and thin, their work is no worse than any other country in the world. , and their military also has a spirit of apathy, which may stem from Japan's deformed bushido culture, which is more extreme than militaristic Germany. "Japan has been able to achieve the fastest development rate in Asia in recent years despite a lack of resources and a poor country. The fastest country has a lot to do with Japan’s extreme national character.”

“If we, the citizens of the Rhine Empire, also had this kind of character, then I am afraid that East Africa’s current economic size could double again, or it could start a war all over the world. At least the entire sub-Saharan Africa would have no problem. . ”

Although East Africa was considered by the international community to be a typical militaristic country in the early days and had an aggressive nature, Japan was much more extreme than East Africa. After all, East Africa had hardly ever challenged any rivals. The British suffered defeat at the hands of East Africa because they did not have a clear understanding of East Africa's national strength.

Japan is not like East Africa. As long as you pay a little attention to the country, you can have a clearer understanding of Japan's national conditions, including population, industry, military and other information.

Take the Far Eastern War as an example. Both sides were well-known, but the Far Eastern Empire did a poor job with Japanese intelligence, or did not pay attention to it at all. On the contrary, Japan studied the Far Eastern Empire deeply. This detail is extremely important. greatly affected the course of the war.

Therefore, the South African War was not a leapfrog challenge in the true sense, but the Far East War was. Ernst judged that Japan would continue to challenge opponents much more powerful than itself in the world, first Tsarist Russia, and then Britain and the United States. Can't run.

And this is only a matter of time. As long as Japan continues to develop, it will inevitably continue to expand. Then there were conflicts with various interest countries in the Far East.

Including East Africa is also within this possibility. After all, many military bases and colonies in East Africa in the Pacific are also very important, especially the Southern Ryukyu Islands and the Northern Kingdom of Hawaii. These two islands (groups) can even It is said to be the gateway to Japan.

"Pay close attention to the dynamics of Britain, Russia, and Japan. If a war does break out between Japan and Russia, we must be prepared, especially Russia. Can it intervene? Russia is the key country." Te ordered to Mo Lin.

As always, in every war that concerns the world structure, Ernst wants to make a windfall from the war, and the Russo-Japanese War is likely to be the first war between major powers in the twentieth century.

Although Japan's current national strength cannot reach the level of the great powers and is even much worse than at the same time in history, Japan has blood transfusions from the United Kingdom and the United States behind it. Coupled with Japan's crazy military policy, the possibility of a Russo-Japanese war is extremely high.

Without the 200 million taels of silver compensation from the previous life, Japan's industrial development was relatively difficult, but it still took some money from the Far Eastern Empire.

Ernst was completely unable to do anything about this. The main reason was that after the Far Eastern War, the knees of the feudal government of the Far Eastern Empire became weaker, and Japan did not achieve fully satisfactory results in the Far Eastern War. Therefore, after the Far Eastern War, Japan Several more threats were made to the Far Eastern Empire government.

But this time no one stood up to confront Japan. After all, the person in charge of the Far East Naval War was still liquidated after the war and had lost the future of the war. Therefore, the internal power struggle made no one dare to take the responsibility for the outbreak of war.

However, Ernst estimates that the current government of the Far Eastern Empire is not far away from death. By then, East Africa will have to change its foreign policy with the new government of the Far Eastern Empire.

After all, East Africa's interests in the Far East Empire cannot be lost. It's not that Ernst has a bad heart, but that these interests are not occupied by himself. They are likely to be sold to other countries by the Far East Empire government. It is better to use them to enhance East Africa's national power.
