Chapter 3189
"The Chinese claim that their mission is only to deliver supplies to the Restoration Army, and they have no combat mission, so they will not take the initiative to attack. This is not good news, but if you understand this sentence in reverse, does it mean that once the Americans or the British Even if the Soviets took the initiative to attack them, they would fight? For a supply mission, the Chinese sent a large fleet. I don’t think the Chinese are ready for the battle,” Chen Shichang did not explicitly reply to Falkenhau Sen's proposal to actively attack the US Seventh Mixed Fleet, the news spread to Berlin, and the top brass of the German Wehrmacht immediately held a high-level military meeting. At the meeting, Brauchitsch said the above words.

The German Navy still maintains a submarine force with certain combat capabilities. With these submarines, the Germans may not have the ability to confront countries such as Britain, the United States, and Russia head-on at sea, but they are still fully capable of doing small tricks.And if it can provoke a decisive battle between China's Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier fleet and the US Seventh Mixed Fleet, even if it can't cause a fatal blow to the US Seventh Mixed Fleet, it can delay the time for the advance team of the US European Legion to land in Europe. It is also quite beneficial to Germany.

The participants were all smart people, and they immediately understood what he meant.Everyone looked at each other, and many people showed knowing expressions in their eyes, while Guderian frowned. "I don't agree to that!" he said, looking at Brauchitsch.

All eyes were on his face.

"I have a certain understanding of Chinese people, especially Ouyang Yun, so I think it is too risky to do so. Generals, we can no longer look at China with old eyes. The current China is already a world power that is not weaker than Germany It is true that if it works well, we can pull the Chinese into the European battlefield to help us share a lot of pressure. But once it is revealed, have you thought about the result? Based on what I know about Ouyang Yun, he may unilaterally tear up the alliance Agreement!" Guderian said word by word, appearing very cautious.

It is easy to say that China should be regarded as an equal, but so far, there are very few people who have really achieved it, whether they are China's enemies or China's allies.In the final analysis, the time for China's rise is too short, so many people in many countries are prone to have the illusion that China's foundation is too weak, and this rise only depends on the intermittent rise of World War II.Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with their cognition. After all, many aspects are involved in measuring whether a country is strong or not.Precisely, in terms of soft power, China is still very weak due to its late start.Of course, the main reason for their understanding is their lack of understanding of China and many specific conditions in China.

Compared with these people, Guderian has such a comprehensive and profound understanding because he has stayed in China and spent a period of time with Ouyang Yun and many Chinese generals.

In the country's soft power, basic education is a key issue. It not only determines the quality of a country's basic population, but also determines whether a country has long-term development potential.China's education level is of course lagging behind the world's average level. In fact, even though the coalition government has invested heavily in education over the years, due to unfavorable factors such as too late a start and a large land area, China's education level is not as good as before. There is no obvious improvement, and even in many places, education is still dominated by private schools.A lagging education level means that a sufficient number of qualified industrial workers cannot be trained in a timely manner, which will inevitably drag down the country's industrial development level-this is a relatively common reason why Westerners look down on China.

But is this really the case?If Falkenhausen, Umbers or Stuart were to answer this question, they would definitely give thumbs up and shout "NO".

China's education level is indeed lagging behind, and if this situation is to be improved, it will take at least one generation of Chinese people to work hard.However, because of Ouyang Yun's strong support, the Chinese government has always been relatively strict in introducing foreign talents-Jews, Japanese prisoners of war with special skills, French... You know, during the entire World War II, China absorbed Jews alone. over 400 million.With the support of these modern industrial workers who once served modern European companies or Japanese chaebols, the Chinese will still be able to survive in 20 years.You know, in terms of diligence, there is really no nation in this world that can match the Chinese.

Brauchitsch frowned.In his opinion, Guderian's words were obviously alarmist.

Why is Guderian unable to take the position?A big reason is that he did not get resistance from China as Ouyang Yun expected.Analyzing this reason, it is actually that the Germans do not recognize that China already has the status of equal dialogue with Germany.In fact, if there was no such thing as Soviet Russia's eastward invasion, the Germans would still not face up to Sino-German relations, and Guderian would still have no chance of being in power.

Brauchitsch has a very high prestige in the German Wehrmacht system. He frowned, and someone immediately stood up and criticized Guderian's point of view: "I think General Guderian's worries are a bit unnecessary. The alliance between China and Germany is The Chinese proposed it on their own initiative. In other words, the Chinese are more proactive than us in the matter of forming an alliance. What are the Chinese trying to do? Don’t they hope that the authority of the United Nations will be established through our country’s recognition of the United Nations? I think it's really a quid pro quo - Germany recognizes the authority of the United Nations, and China provides us with support. I think we should call the Chinese government directly and ask them to help us defend the Americans at sea. After all, with Compared with the price we pay, the Chinese only export a little weaponry to us, which is really unreasonable!"

"The telegram to the Chinese government can be sent later. The best time is when the Chinese and American fleets are about to fight. In that case, the Chinese will be stuck and will have to choose to provide us with substantial military assistance!" Rommel said.

Quite satisfied with Rommel's suggestion, Brauchitsch raised his brows and asked Guderian: "Guderian, what do you think? By doing this, we are trying our best to take care of the face of the Chinese people! That Chinese friend of yours , shouldn’t be so fussy?!”

Brauchitsch had already talked about this, so what could Guderian do? In desperation, he could only shake his head solemnly, but did not express any objection.
