Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chinese Marine Corps captured the Suez Canal, which did not cause a big shock in Europe. To be precise, Britain and France, which focused their main efforts on the battlefields in northern France and Switzerland, had no hope of being able to defend the Suez Canal.  As long as China is willing, the Suez Canal will fall into China's control like a ripe peach.  Moreover, with the Chinese navy aggressively attacking and capturing British merchant ships in the northern Indian Ocean, forcing British merchant ships to bypass the Cape of Good Hope in the south, the role of the Suez Canal has been greatly reduced.  Therefore, Britain and France chose to ignore China's seizure of the Suez Canal.

    Germany greatly appreciates the actions of its allies.  Kaiser Wilhelm II said that China's control of the Suez Canal would help cut off the connection between Britain and its Asian colonies, and would be of great help in weakening Britain's war potential.  However, when Germany learned that China had spared British merchant ships that sailed from India and Australia and detoured to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, Kaiser Wilhelm II scolded China at Sanssouci Palace for not being a qualified ally. China was indulging Britain and France in this way.  Germany will pay a greater price, and China will surely reap the consequences.

    The only one who is dissatisfied with China's capture of the Suez Canal is probably Italy, which itself belongs to the Allies, but has been reluctant to declare war on Britain and France.  After China captures the Suez Canal, its power will definitely enter the Mediterranean.  Italy has always regarded the Mediterranean as its own territory. China's entry into the Mediterranean is like trying to snatch Italy's territory.  In addition, Italy also has great ambitions for Egypt.  China captured the Suez Canal, and the Khedive of Egypt was also pro-China, which almost blocked Italy's expansion into Egypt.  In addition, Italy was defeated when it invaded Ethiopia more than ten years ago. More than ten years later, the Italians regained confidence and wanted to invade Ethiopia again.  But after China captures the Suez Canal, will it still provide convenience to Italy?  The Italian government cannot guarantee this.  Therefore, the Italian government declares that the Suez Canal is a public waterway and no country should have exclusive possession of it.  However, no one conforms to Italy at all, which makes Italy unable to stand alone. China simply ignores the clamor of the Italian government.

    As for the Egyptian government, China has not treated them badly.  After crushing Hussein.  After Kamil's rebellion, China provided Egypt with a loan worth 10 million Chinese dollars for Egypt's rearmament.  At the same time, China promised Abbas II that after seizing the Suez Canal, China could pay 10% of its annual income to Egypt as management fees.  Abbas II was very satisfied with this. Although the majority has been taken away by China, it is already very good to be able to get 10%.  It is much better than before when Britain and France took away all the proceeds and gave not a penny to Egypt.

    After China captured the Suez Canal, merchant ships flying the Allied flag were unable to pass through the canal. The Chinese navy deployed warships directly at Port Said on the back of the canal to prevent Allied ships from passing through the canal.  However, China did not stop British merchant ships from detouring around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. This made Britain relieved and unwilling to anger China, thus acquiescing to China's occupation of the Suez Canal!  China is also unwilling to push Britain into a desperate situation, and it will not be of any benefit to China.

    China¡¯s actions in the Suez Canal can also be regarded as a warning to Britain to sink Chinese merchant ships.  Of course, maybe the merchant ship 'Hua Xing' was not sunk by the British navy, but now this debt can only be attributed to the British.

    After the Suez Canal battle ended, China¡¯s main focus was still on the Mexican battlefield.  The capture of the Suez Canal was just a small-scale battle. The war in Mexico was the decisive battle in this war!

    "Your Majesty, the Suez Canal is completely under our control. This traffic throat between the East and the West will be under our control from now on. This time, we will not give up the canal again!" Chief of General Staff Cai Yun told Wang Yuze  said.

    "That's great! How did other countries respond?" Wang Yuze asked with a smile.  A few years ago, China gave up the Suez Canal, which made him very unwilling.  Now, the canal is finally back in Chinese hands.  In addition to the Panama Canal and some important straits and major transportation arteries in the world that are controlled by China, most of them are already under China's control!

    "Britain and France chose to acquiesce. We acquiesced to their merchant ships returning from the Cape of Good Hope in the south. Naturally, they will no longer compete with us for the Suez Canal. As for Germany, they are also very unhappy with us for allowing Britain to continue to obtain strategic supplies from India and Australia.  Dissatisfied. However, it is not an extreme expression. On the contrary, Italy jumped out and asked us to give up our monopoly on the Suez Canal!" Cai Yun said with a smile.

    "Hmph! You are just a rebellious boy. His combat effectiveness is frighteningly low! Use reason."?Them!  "Wang Yuze said. In history, Italy betrayed the Allies and defected to the Entente. However, it was defeated on the battlefield. After the war, it did not get any benefits. It can be said that it did not eat the mutton, but it made a mess.  However, history has changed now, but Italy still seems to be making the same mistakes again. Judging from the intelligence obtained by China, during this period, the Italians were fighting fiercely with Britain and France. In order to draw Italy into their camp, Britain and France tried to lure Italy into their camp.  Many conditions were promised, which made Italy very excited. It is estimated that it will not be too far away for Italy to betray the Allies and officially join the war on the side of the Allies!

    "Your Majesty, if the Italians betray the Allies, will it have an impact on our plans?" Cai Yun asked.

    "No, even if the Italians join the Allied Powers to fight, they can only hold back hundreds of thousands of Austro-Hungarian troops at most, and will not have much impact on the war situation. Moreover, whether they can defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire's army, this  It¡¯s hard to say!¡± Wang Yuze said with a smile, the Italian army is completely strange!

    Although Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, has some doubts about Wang Yuze's statement, the Italian army is a modern army after all, and the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army is weak enough that even the Russians cannot defeat it. Is it possible that the Italian army is more powerful than Austria-Hungary?  Is the combat effectiveness of the empire's army still weak?  However, when you think about the fact that more than ten years ago, Italy dispatched 17,000 men to attack the Ethiopian army, which was only equipped with spears and bows, but ended up paying a huge price of 11,000 deaths and 4,000 prisoners.  Show how terrible their fighting power is!

    "Let the battle in West Asia come to an end! How are our preparations in Mexico going? When can we launch a counterattack against the US military?" Wang Yuze asked.  Before, China controlled more than half of Mexico, but now, the Chinese army can only operate in and around Acapulco. Mexico's Madero government has also betrayed China, which makes China feel like it has been severely beaten.  Like a slap, Wang Yuze also felt that his face was dull.

    "Your Majesty, our troops are expected to be all in place by the end of this month. However, it will take some time for Japanese mercenaries and North Korean mercenaries to arrive, and it is not expected that they will all arrive until next month. Various combat supplies are also still being prepared.  The counterattack will begin at the end of January or early February next year! In addition, after Colombia annexed Panama, it also sent two infantry divisions to Mexico to accept our command!" Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff, introduced.

    "Colombians are quite knowledgeable! How do we compare with the Americans in terms of strength in Mexico? Are we sure of defeating the Americans?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Our current army in Mexico mainly includes the main force of the Sixth Army. However, the Sixth Army has suffered greater losses. It has just been replenished and is still in the process of running in. I am afraid that it will not be able to exert its maximum combat power in the early stage. The main force is  The Second Army, the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army, as well as the 121st Division to the 20th Infantry Division, which have reserve brigades upgraded to infantry divisions, have slightly weaker combat effectiveness than our standing army. In this case, the Empire  The total number of troops in Mexico will reach almost one million. In addition to the imperial army, it is planned to send 500,000 Japanese mercenaries and 200,000 Korean mercenaries to Mexico. Although the equipment of Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries is poor after all,  , but their fighting will is very strong, not necessarily worse than the US military equipped with advanced weapons. Together with the two Colombian infantry divisions, the total force will reach about 1.7 million people. The US military has deployed 200 troops in Mexico  Two hundred thousand troops, these US troops, have become a total of forty corps and some independent units, including 10 cavalry divisions, and some artillery units. All are commanded by US Army General John Pershing! Army Secretary General Zhao Bowen  We arrived in Acapulco three days ago and began to integrate the arriving troops. After preparing to charge, we will launch a counterattack against the US military! Although the US military is stronger than us, the General Staff believes that if no accidents occur,  , our army can win the Mexican battlefield!" Cai Yun said carefully.

    Wang Yuze nodded, and then said: "Get ready for the follow-up troops! After the newly formed sixty infantry divisions are completed, most of them can be transferred to fight in Mexico. In addition, several domestic group armies can also transfer two more  One to three. If necessary, the Guards can also go to America to fight. I have only one request, and that is that the United States must be destroyed!"
