“Fight, fight hard, fight early, fight a world war!”

When they heard that President Harding of the United States would use this opportunity to vigorously exaggerate the British threat theory and even wanted to form a 3 million army across the country, all countries began to sit down and watch. Some people who like to watch the fun even cheered for both sides. If the

British and the United States really fight, their battlefield will probably be in the Atlantic Ocean, and the main forces of the two countries will definitely be the navy.

Although the battle at sea will have a certain impact on passing ships, this impact will not be great and can be controlled.

At most, everyone will suspend the routes to and from North America.

After all, during the economic crisis, in order to protect its own market and promote its own domestic demand, the United States They were the first to impose tariffs on foreign goods.

Goods exported to the United States will be subject to a 300% tariff.

Taking into account freight and costs, the prices of products from other countries in the world may be several times higher in the United States than in their own countries.

For the same product, the products produced by the United States itself are several times cheaper, so the people of the United States will naturally choose their own products instead of these foreign products!

As a result, the exports of goods from various countries to the United States began to drop sharply, and the trade volume with the United States also plummeted.

At this time, the number of cargo ships traveling between the United States and various countries in the world has long been greatly reduced. If the British Empire and the United States really fight, the impact on the world will not be too great, at least it will definitely not be as great as the First World War!

“Can a war really break out?”

Hans, the capital of Berlin.

In response to the tension in North America, senior officials within Hans had a discussion.

“We can’t fight, right? The Eagle Sauce’s army was reduced to only 100,000 people after 1922. If it wants to expand to 3 million people, it will take at least half a year, right?”

It took the Eagle Sauce more than half a year from announcing its participation in the war to actually joining the war during World War I.

During this time, Admiral Pershing had been training his troops. He felt that for strawberry soldiers like the Eagle Sauce, if they were not strictly trained to improve their military quality, it would be murder to send them directly to the battlefield!

So Admiral Pershing ignored the urging of the British Empire and the Gauls, and devoted himself to training.

After more than half a year of training, he finally trained the Eagle Sauce’s army and joined the battle.

However, even so, the Eagle Sauce’s performance on the battlefield was not good.

The current situation is not satisfactory.

Their strength is still far behind the army of the mainstream European powers, and they are even inferior to the British army which is mainly based on the navy.

This is actually easy to understand. The Eagle Sauce has not experienced any wars since the Civil War. In the Spanish-American War of 1898, they mainly used the navy to defeat the Banya, and the army had almost no performance.

Throughout the dynasties, any army will inevitably see a rapid decline in combat effectiveness as long as it is at peace for a long time. If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you can only train hard and conduct actual combat, otherwise it will be difficult to improve your combat effectiveness!

“It is said that the weapons and equipment of these 100,000 people are very backward, basically all products of World War I. Their new rifles are improved versions of the old Springfield rifles, which are already obsolete products in Europe. I don’t think they can fight the British with them!”

As a veteran of World War I, General Bock still has some impression of the opponent, the Eagle Sauce. In his impression, the Russians and the Gauls performed very well in the battles of World War I. The Russians were brave without any brains, while the Gauls were tenacious. As for the British, the training level of this army was very high and they were very flexible, but their bloodiness was not very good.

“Having said that, if the Eagle Sauce is really mobilized, arming people will be a matter of a moment. Their strong industrial strength and hundreds of millions of people give them great capital for trial and error. They don’t need to prepare for so long. They can train and fight on the battlefield at the same time. I don’t think the British army in the Maple Leaf Country can withstand the attack of the Eagle Sauce!”

Manstein did not agree with General Bock’s words. Although he agreed with what the other party said that it would take more than half a year for the Eagle Sauce to be fully prepared, it only applied under normal circumstances. Under special circumstances, the Eagle Sauce did not need to wait so long.

“”Do you two think they can fight?”

Mainz asked when he saw them discussing so enthusiastically.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads together:”Probably they can’t fight. If they really want to fight, it won’t be so quiet here in the British Empire!”

Hearing what the two said, Mainz smiled.

It seems that these generals under his command have not lost their ability to judge the situation. In fact, Mainz also believes that a fight will not break out in a short time!

“Maple Leaf Country is more like a granary and a source of resources for the British Empire.

It is too far away from their homeland.

Moreover, the industry of Maple Leaf Country is also very weak.

The population is only 9 million.

This population cannot support a large-scale army.

If they really want to fight with the Eagle Sauce, the British Empire must at least send more than 5 million troops from its homeland.

But now the British Empire has not sent any soldiers.

This is obviously not the way to go to war!

”

The three armies are not moving, but the food and grass are sent first. This is the standard configuration of war in ancient times. To judge whether a country has the intention to go to war, we should first look at their material preparation. After all, a large amount of weapons, ammunition and various materials are needed when fighting!

Maple Leaf Country itself has a large area, but its industrial strength is very weak. It cannot produce enough weapons and equipment to fight by itself. They need to rely on the support of the British Empire.

Now, except for sending 2 million unemployed young and middle-aged people to grab jobs, the British Empire has no other actions. This is obviously not the intention to go to war!

“Although there will be no war in the short term, the arrival of these 2 million people will definitely curb the separatist tendencies of the Maple Leaf Country!”

Mainz actually felt that the British Empire had made a good move. If these 2 million unemployed people stayed in the British Empire, it would be a huge burden and even a threat to their finances and social security.

Sending these people out would not only solve this problem, but also strengthen their central government’s control over the colonies.

Moreover, after the Maple Leaf Country obtained these two million young and middle-aged laborers, the problem of insufficient population that had plagued them before could be solved, and the Maple Leaf Country would have the conditions to develop its own industry, especially heavy industry!

“Yes, the British seem to have realized the importance of population at this time, so they have begun to encourage childbirth in their own country. After these 2 million young and strong people enter the Maple Leaf Country, they will definitely work hard to reproduce the population, thereby increasing the population of the Maple Leaf Country to reduce the gap with the Eagle Sauce!

The area of the Maple Leaf Country is larger than that of the Eagle Sauce. Although there are a lot of unusable snowfields in the country, as long as the population is sufficient, some provinces in the south can still be developed. After all, the bears in higher latitudes can live very well, and the three Nordic countries are not said to be frozen to death. The conditions in the Maple Leaf Country are much better than these countries, so there will naturally be no problem!”

Mainz is actually very optimistic about the potential of the Maple Leaf Country. This country has resources and land, but it lacks population. If the population is increased, even if it cannot become the next Eagle Sauce, it can at least become the next Russian Bear!

Unfortunately, the people of the Maple Leaf Country don’t like to have children. Maybe it’s because the weather in the north is too cold, and making babies is too hard, so they are not willing to have children?

Hearing Mainz’s words, the man with a mustache laughed:”Haha, if the British Empire really does this, I’m afraid the Eagle Sauce people will jump up and down, right?

Originally, a colony with a population of less than 10 million was placed to their north, which made them feel very uneasy. If the population of this colony increases several times, then their uneasiness will definitely increase greatly. At that time, the Eagle Sauce people are very likely to take the initiative to launch an attack and destroy the Maple Leaf Country before it can completely grow!”

Everyone nodded. This judgment makes sense. The Eagle Sauce is not a pushover. As long as they feel threatened, they will take the initiative to attack and kill the other party! Did n’t the pressed duck that controlled the Caribbean and the countries that rose in South America all fall under the suppression of the Eagle Sauce?

“Well, these are just our speculations. The British Empire has not responded yet, so it is hard to say how this matter will develop. We just need to pay close attention to this matter and continue to follow up. Before the two sides really fight, there is no need to pay too much attention.”

“However, there is another thing that deserves our attention right now!”

“In the Far East, the people in the foot basin seem to be getting a little impatient!”
