    Following the airship formation to Berlin was, of course, not just a deterrent. The airship was not loaded with bombs, but a military delegation participating in military exchanges between China and Germany. Among the several Japanese troops who emerged in the Wuhan Battle  Generals Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Cao Chong and others participated in this visit.

    As a result, during the first discussion of military strategy between the two sides, huge disputes arose between members of the delegations of both sides.

    "War! It comes from the organic combination of attack power, maneuverability and defense capabilities. Please forgive me for not understanding your country's theory that always emphasizes the importance of offense in war. In war, there is no flank cover and the tactics of sudden advance  It is dangerous, and the opponent may cut off supplies at any time and carry out counter-siege.

    Moreover, the important thing is that with current military technology, trench fortifications are fatal to the defense of infantry attack lines. With current military construction technology, even powerful cannons cannot pose a threat to the construction of complete concrete fortifications.  Combining the factors of war, it is determined that the battlefield of modern war has entered a phenomenon in which war of attrition is the main theme.

    I personally think that the mobile battlefield theory held by members of your country is somewhat unrealistic.  "Facing China's young generals, Germany's Army Chief of Staff Helmut Johannes Ludwig von Moltke said.

    This speech surprised the members of the expeditionary force within the Chinese delegation!  Huh?  Is this still the hometown that created a generation of blitzkrieg combat theory?  Why did General Maoqi, who was famous in later generations, have such a tactical thought?  In Germany of this era, shouldn¡¯t the theory of quick decisive battle and quick victory dominate the mainstream consciousness?  The famous Schlieffen Plan itself was a radical military gamble. How could the German staff advocate such a tactic without the idea of ??quick victory.

    The empire came to Germany for military exchanges and was naturally well prepared. It had a certain understanding of Germany's military and national strength and other intelligence data and military mobilization. In response to the failures that Germany encountered in history, China certainly could not simply say, you  How about this, how about yours?  As an ally, even if China helps Germany, it will only be a limited help, and it will never be able to point fingers at other countries' already formed strategies.

    The goal of the Chinese military delegation is to fill the loopholes in the Schlieffen Plan so that Germany can fight more smoothly on the European battlefield.  China's goal is not to help Germany dominate Europe.

    Cao Chong thought for a while and immediately realized that Germany at this time probably did not have the correct mentality to deal with and prepare for war.  There are probably many people like Moltke in the German Army, including the most vocal Kaiser Wilhelm II. In fact, his confrontation with the British was mostly caused by a complex rebellious psychology.  Although Germany is eager to break the international order led by Britain, France and Russia and usurp its own interest space, it is not mentally prepared to engage in a real protracted all-out war with the Allies.

    This mentality is very dangerous.

    No wonder that during World War I, Moltke finally tampered with the Schlieffen Plan, making the already insufficient Western Front even weaker and unable to complete the planned rapid breakthrough. The Western Front war entered a quagmire-like war of attrition, ultimately burying Germany's hope of victory.  Schlieffen's dying words: Never weaken my right wing!  In the end, it became a dream that countless people in later generations regretted.

    "No! General Moltke!" Cao Chong stood up and spoke tit for tat. "Although China is a backward country in modern times, in terms of strategy and tactics, we have a history of development for thousands of years. Modern warfare is just as you said.  , trenches and machine guns, dominated the battlefield.

    However, your military strategists should note that new weapons that break the rules have emerged. In the face of new combat weapons, the defense lines on land, which are mainly trenches and concrete fortifications, will be easily broken. With new weapons and equipment  The rapid assault force will be able to quickly penetrate the enemy's back, threaten the enemy's heart, cut off the enemy's supplies, and stage a reverse encirclement.

    This is the core of the strategy of rapid advance: using the advantage of mobility to concentrate the terrifying attack power of the enemy in a limited space, destroying the enemy in one fell swoop, and then the army follows up, blooming in the center, dividing and encircling. This is not the same as the ancient military theory.  It doesn¡¯t violate it, it¡¯s just that the superior force in the ancient adage has become the superior weapon today.  "

    "Oh? The new weapon you are talking about is the airship in your country's sky? This kind of weapon does have the potential to break the rules of the battlefield! But there are limits to the occasions and scale in which this kind of weapon can be used on the battlefield, right?  !" Little Maoqi was still a little unwilling, with a disdainful tone in his voice.

    "Of course, the airship is not omnipotent. Many reasons such as weather and geographical environment will limit its applicable occasions!" Cao Chong was puzzled by Xiao Maoqi's obsession.  "But what I just saidThe focus is not here, but strategy, and the most important thing is strategy.  In modern warfare, the elements of warfare have changed.  It's not just the airship that can provide a tactical advantage!  The use of trains, cars, and various means of transportation can effectively cause changes in battlefield elements!  With these elements added, do we still want our soldiers to endure the torment of positional warfare in field fortifications?  Please forgive me¡ª"

    Cao Chong¡¯s voice became urgent and his face turned red:

    "Your country is currently in a geopolitical situation where it is being attacked from two sides by the Allied Powers. On one side are Britain and France, and on the other side is Russia. They are both big countries with almost unlimited military mobilization capabilities. If you fight a war of attrition, I can't see your country  If your country adheres to the strategy of a war of attrition on the battlefield, I personally think that even the alliance between our country and your country is worthy of reconsideration!"

    Cao Chong¡¯s words were a bit harsh, which made the mood at the scene a bit depressing. The Chinese members didn¡¯t care, but the people in the German staff looked at each other with angry faces, and there were even some weird ones.

    A tall, strong-looking officer with stern eyes like an eagle stood up.

    "I would like to ask this young Chinese general, what do you think of Germany's plans for a possible future war? If it were you, how would you respond?"

    Cao Chong glanced over and recognized him immediately, the famous Erich?  Feng?  General Ludendorff, at this time, was not as fat as in the photos of later generations. His whole body was in straight military uniform, and he had a stereotypical German military style.

    Cao Chong looked at him and replied:

    "All wars are wars based on judgment of the situation, based on the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves, the geopolitical situation and the war trend. The west of your country is the number one army power in the world today - France!"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Cao Chong's words caused a burst of laughter in the venue, and Cao Chong also smiled.

    "Of course, the title of the most powerful country in the army is their own. I believe that they are no match for the Germans' attack.

    However, one thing to remember is that it does not mean that France is easy to deal with regardless of whether the opponent is an opponent. France¡¯s military mobilization system has been inherited from the Napoleonic era and is definitely no worse than your country¡¯s. Once the war starts, France will  The number of troops they can mobilize is even greater than that of your country, and they also have a helper - Great Britain!  , this also means that on the Western Front, in the long run, your country's military strength will be at a disadvantage, and I am not optimistic about your country's war of attrition.

    The same is true on the Eastern Front. Although Russia's national strength is lagging behind and even its own military-industrial system is difficult to satisfy, Russia is also famous for its war of attrition. They have brought down countless famous European generals, including even Napoleon.  The god of war!

    Looking at the overall national strength, your country and your allies are all inland, have no supplies, and are entirely self-sufficient. Britain, France, and Russia all have coastlines and vast colonial territories. They can get supplements from the outside at any time, even if they are nobles.  Our country's industry is stronger than these three countries, but once the war becomes protracted, your country may only end in one outcome - a disastrous defeat!  "

    Cao Chong's words made the German generals present look defeated. They naturally said that what Cao Chong said was the truth. Germany's weaknesses were too obvious. Since the rise of Germany, the strategic discussion of this geopolitical situation has long been  It has been carried out countless times in the country, and all Germans are aware of it.

    "Therefore, if Germany wants to win the war, there is only one way, and that is to concentrate all its forces in the early stage, fight a decisive battle quickly, and strive to create a superior strategic posture in a short period of time, so that it can take the lead in the long-term war of attrition in the future.  . I think that the most basic strategic goal of your country at the beginning of the war was to establish a communication channel with the outside world and maintain contact with our country, whether on land or sea. In this way, we  Only by working together can we continue this war until total victory. Of course, if we can defeat one of the three countries on this basis and make it lose its war capability, that would be great!"

    Cao Chong¡¯s words were consciously directed in the direction of the Schlieffen Plan. The Germans were very familiar with this aspect of thinking. Naturally, everyone listened with rapt attention. Under the expectation of everyone, Cao Chong became more and more energetic as he continued to speak.

    "In fact, in my opinion, there are two options for this goal, one is France on the Western Front, and the other is Russia on the Eastern Front."

    What?  two?  Different from the Schlieffen Plan?

    Everyone present was a little surprised. Even the people in the expeditionary force had never deduced this statement. Why were there two?  Could it be Cao Chong's sudden idea?

    "The Three Kingdoms of Britain, France and Russia"One weakness is Russia. Russia's industry is backward and its mobilization system is insufficient. Once a war breaks out, it may take a long time for Russia to react. To be precise, Russia's military strength on the Eastern Front should be reduced within six to eight weeks.  Only then can the assembly be completed.  This is a huge flaw and an opportunity for Germany to win!  "(To be continued.
