Chapter 1276： Trade between Britain and Japan 2 (1/2)
Slide 1276
”This is normal. In a small organization, everyone is simple rifles, machine guns, and mortars. Although there will be differences in equipment levels, they are all on the same level. As the scale increases, when heavy artillery, tanks, After the armored vehicles are added to it, the situation is completely different. The second-tier countries simply cannot equip these combat power multipliers in large quantities!” Fisher nodded.
”So how about the top of the Japanese Army?” Fisher thought about it and asked.
”The level of their generals in the European dispatched army is better than that of the mid-level officers. The latter gives people a sense of inexplicable arrogance. And very vain. But the senior level is better, at least they can formally and the world-class level gap. And they have the desire to change. They work hard to learn from the various experiences and battles on the battlefield, and they also have some research on the new technology and equipment, but because of the national heritage, it may not be easy for them to promote these in their own countries.” Wallen Lieutenant General Ding said.
”It seems that the Japanese are very cruel to the prisoners?” Sir Fisher asked.
”That's it. They regard the beheading of unarmed people as glory. This is a very barbaric act. I admit that both armies have killed prisoners, but the massacres are only the Japanese, but Those guys have already received retribution. It is said that the German 9th Army, which is opposite to the Japanese Army, has issued an order that the whole army will not accept the Japanese Army's surrender.” Valentin said.
”Then your excellency, how do you evaluate the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese?” Sir Fisher asked.
”If you look at the division level, the combat power should be stronger than the same number of Russian and Austro-Hungarian troops. Of course, this is limited to the current batch. The newly recruited troops from Japan are not as good as the Russian army, because the previous ones Many grass-roots officers participated in the Russo-Japanese War. The newcomers are basically recruits. They don’t even use the machine guns in their hands. Let alone how to save their lives in the trenches.” Valentine said. .
”But at least it's much better than the Turks, isn't it? We won't run into many strong enemies in the Balkans.” Sir Fisher said.
”The premise is that the Bavarian Army does not go south.” Valentine said. ”If we want to quickly take Constantinople, it's best to do both on land and sea, and it's best to be accompanied by some elite British and French troops to provide artillery and armored units. Then the Japanese provide infantry.”
”Very good.” Fisher nodded, and then stopped talking. He now has to consider his naval issues, how to use the limited chips in his hand to obtain more benefits, starting from the current Mediterranean-Black Sea situation. The Confederate Mediterranean fleet has been hit hard. According to the Royal Navy’s estimates, the number of battleships they have is no more than two. In this way, the French fleet can easily complete the suppression task. There are only 3 Super Fearless ships in use, so there is no need to keep 2 Fuso-class battleships in the Mediterranean now. I am afraid it would be better to replace these two Fuso with other warships.
The Japanese government still attaches great importance to the arrival of the British delegation. After the British delegation arrived at the Port of Nagasaki, Japanese Prime Minister Katsuro and Saiyuanji Gongwang received the British delegation. After a brief greeting, General Valentine put forward the suggestions and requirements of the British government.
