Chapter 297 The World Situation at Christmas 914

Life was ordinary for the next few days.

Ordinary means that the number of casualties released by the headquarters every day did not exceed 10,000.

The Christmas of the Eastern Holy Church is January 7, but the Ante Empire is vast, and in order to take care of the ethnic groups celebrating Christmas in the territory, a simple celebration will be held on December 25.

On the morning of December 25, Wang Zhong was woken up early by Nellie. As soon as he sat up, Liu Xia also sat up and touched his shoulder.

Wang Zhong was shocked: "Even Liu Xia didn't get up this time?"

Lyudmila would have gotten up early, and she had been lying in bed waiting for him to get up in order to accommodate Wang Zhong, but this time she was so early that she didn't even open her eyes.

Nellie: "Today is Christmas. Although we don't celebrate it, we have to attend the activities held in the palace."

Wang Zhong: "I'm very busy. I have to go to the committee to read the revision opinions of various military branches, go to the city defense headquarters to see the establishment of the new army, and go to school to give lectures and write books..."

Lyudmila hugged Wang Zhong from behind and kissed his ear: "Yesterday, His Majesty Belinsky called and told me that you must go to the palace to participate in the activities today, because both the United States and the United Kingdom celebrate Christmas, so today we have to entertain diplomats from allies.

"They will be disappointed if you don't go."

Wang Zhong: "Okay, His Majesty is right. Nellie, bring me my military uniform. Liu Xia, you are going to go too, right?"

"Of course. I plan to wear a military uniform, what do you think?"

Wang Zhong: "Okay, a military uniform is good. It just so happens that I'm tired of seeing you in casual clothes recently."

Lyudmila: "What about me without clothes?"

"I'm tired of it too." "Wang Zhong said.

When Neli heard this, she quickly used the clothes she brought as a shield and took a step back.

Wang Zhong: "Even if I'm tired of you, I won't do anything to you!"

Neli: "Given your bad record, I think it's better to be careful."

It's over. It seems that even if I have changed completely, I can't let Neli let go of her prejudice.

Wang Zhong sighed and started to put on his clothes.

While eating breakfast, Neli brought today's newspaper and the official war report of the headquarters.

Wang Zhong first looked at the war report, glanced at it and exclaimed: "Yesterday (24th), the total casualties did not exceed 10,000. It seems that the intensity of the front line has indeed decreased."

Lyudmila: "The number of deaths in the past few days did not exceed 10,000, right? I still hope that this calm period can be longer."

Wang Zhong: "Yes, seize the calm period and quickly train the troops. Now we must race against time. "

He used a knife and fork to cut the sunny-side-up egg on the Spam slices in the plate, then inserted the ham and egg into his mouth.

In the remaining half of the sunny-side-up egg, the yolk that had not yet completely solidified flowed down, flowed through the slices of Spam can, and slowly spread on the plate.

Wang Zhong quickly finished the can and the egg, then drank the oatmeal porridge at random, and finally inserted a small piece of pickle dipped in sour cream and stuffed it into his mouth.

Before swallowing the food, Wang Zhong stood up: "Let's go."

Lyudmila: "Swallow the food before talking."

Wang Zhong hurriedly chewed a few times, swallowed the food, and smiled: "You sound like my mother."

Lyudmila: "Do you still remember your mother? She seems to have died when we were four years old, right? "

Wang Zhong and Petro are half-brothers. After Petro's mother died, the old Duke Rokosov remarried, and then the young wife gave birth to Wang Zhong. That's why the age difference between the two brothers is so big.

Wang Zhong's mother in this world also died early. It seems that the old Duke lost two wives in a row and didn't want to marry again.

Of course, Wang Zhong just said "like my mother", referring to his mother in another time and space.

A mother that he will never see.

Wang Zhong waved away the inexplicable homesickness and urged Lyudmila: "Hurry up, you can't be late for such a formal event."

————

When Wang Zhong entered the lounge of the Summer Palace, he saw a group of people wearing military uniforms different from those of the Ant Army gathered together to chat.

Wang Zhong recognized one of them: Lieutenant Colonel John Wick of the United States.

He immediately said to Lyudmila: "Liu Xia, I want to go over and chat with the gentlemen."

Lyudmila immediately let go of his hand: "Then I'll go over there and chat with the wives of diplomats. "

Wang Zhong looked in the direction that Lyudmila pointed and found that the ladies were all dressed up. He looked at his fiancée's military uniform and encouraged her: "You look prettier than them in military uniform, and you have a unique heroic spirit."

"I know." Lyudmila said softly, and at the same time pushed Wang Zhong's shoulder with her hand, asking him to turn around and face the military attachés from various countries, "Go."

Wang Zhong then strode towards the gentlemen.

The first person to notice him was Lieutenant Colonel John Wick: "Oh, General Rokossov, my friend, we are all waiting for you!"

Wang Zhong went up and hugged Lieutenant Colonel John Wick. For a moment, he even wanted to learn from Su Xunzong and give him a passionate kiss, but he gave up because he was not gay: "John Wick, my old friend. When can I get my Sherman?"

Lieutenant Colonel John Wick: "You really don't forget to attack Prosen even on holidays. The first batch of tanks should leave tonight and will be sent to your northern ice-free port, and then transported to Yekaterinburg by rail. I don't know exactly what it is, maybe a light tank like the Stuart, or maybe the Sherman you want."

After John Wick finished speaking, the lieutenant colonel in the uniform of the United Kingdom Army teased: "Even our United Kingdom can only get the M3 Grant Lee tank, but we gave it to Ant Sherman. Isn't it biased?"

Wang Zhong: "Isn't this the Matilda tank that trusts you?"

The United Kingdom Lieutenant Colonel shook his head: "The protection of that thing is good, but it may not be able to penetrate Proson's tank. The most important thing is that it is too slow. The generals also think that slow speed is a good thing so that the infantry can keep up with the impact. !”

Wang Zhong said: "I thought your tank was so slow to prevent the team's black tea from spilling."

The officers all laughed, even the Lieutenant Colonel of the United Kingdom laughed heartily.

After laughing, the lieutenant colonel of the United Kingdom said seriously: "We need better tanks. Proson gave us a correct demonstration of armor tactics. We urgently need new equipment to innovate our tactics."

Wang Zhong nodded, and then asked John Wick: "Are we getting to the point too early? I don't know your names yet."

Lieutenant Colonel John Wick immediately said: "Oh, it's my fault. Let me introduce to you. This is the military attaché of the United Kingdom, Lieutenant Colonel Wilt of the Kingdom's Army. This is Lieutenant Colonel Alan Ogden of the Royal Air Force. , and this is Lieutenant Colonel Nelson of the Royal Navy, who is a descendant of that Nelson.

"The last one is my colleague, Lieutenant Colonel Duke of the United States Army Aviation."

Wang Zhong shook hands with them in turn, and then simply remembered these people as Army Lieutenant Colonel, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, Navy Lieutenant Colonel and Army Aviation Lieutenant Colonel.

Lieutenant Colonel Duke of the Army Aviation said: "We are forming an expeditionary aviation force to train pilots and crews. Once the training is completed, they will go to the mainland of the United Kingdom to carry out long-range bombing of industrial facilities in Plossen."

Wang Zhong: "There shouldn't be any way to complete training next year, right?"

Duke nodded awkwardly: "It will take time to complete the mobilization of the war machine of the United States. After all, the last time we fought a large-scale war was 40 years ago, and it is very slow to move. The navy and army should only be able to use existing equipment next year. Fight.

"I personally expect that the air raids will start in the spring of 916 and continue from there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Ogden of the Royal Air Force echoed: "Blow them up. We have resisted Proson's bombing for nearly a year, and the local factories have been seriously damaged. Now it's time for us to retaliate in kind."

"The Royal Air Force's Lancaster bombers have already bombed the factories in Plowson at night. There is nothing difficult. All that's left is to increase the quantity."

Lieutenant Colonel Duke: "The effect of night bombing is questionable. We should use day bombing. Our B17s have enough armor and self-defense firepower, and can effectively resist the interception of the Proson Air Force when placed in a dense formation."

Ogden: "Our Lancaster self-defense firepower is also very strong!"

Wang Zhong: "No matter day or night, it is a good thing to blow up the enemy's production capacity!"

At this time, Commander Nelson of the Royal Navy said: "The Navy plans to launch an attack next year, probably sometime in the second half of the year."

Wang Zhong asked casually: "Is the target the Carolingian colony in Africa?"

Nelson's eyes widened: "Where did you get the news?"

From another time and space.

Wang Zhong just smiled and said nothing.

Hey, let MI6 guess, anyway, you will be one-way and transparent in the future.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Wilt of the United Kingdom Army who did not have the word "royal" said: "We are different. We are in the Mamluk desert and are already fighting fierce battles with the troops of Prosen and their Apennine brothers. We will soon be Will drive them all to the sea, bordering the Carolingian colonies of Africa."

Wang Zhong: "Wow, so awesome!"

It shouldn't be possible. This time Ju De left the game in person early in the morning.

Lieutenant Colonel Wilt looked at John Wick: "So give us Sherman as soon as possible!"

Lieutenant Colonel Wick spread his hands: "It's useless to tell me. As a small military attaché, I have very little influence on Congress and the President. The reason why the country plans to vigorously assist Ant is because Lieutenant General Rokossov has come up with Results. The men in Congress are businessmen and they like guaranteed investments.”

Lieutenant Colonel Wilt snorted: "When we wipe out the Prosen army in the Mamluk area, we won't need your new tanks."

Wang Zhong: "Wow, so awesome!"

Everyone looked at Wang Zhong together.

Wang Zhong: "I mean, this is really awesome. I hope the Allies can fight wonderful battles on all fronts. Since the United Kingdom no longer needs Sherman, then give me a little more. Even if you can't thank me Mann, please get more radios and walkie-talkies.”

Lieutenant Colonel John Wick: "Of course there is no problem with this. Although Proson's submarine warfare is very rampant, the United States Navy has already been put into operation. The anti-submarine power on the Arctic Ocean routes has been greatly strengthened. A large amount of supplies will be sent to Ant. It will some."

Wang Zhong: "That's good."

At this time, the palace etiquette officer opened the door and came in: "Everyone, the dance is ready. Please enter in an orderly manner."

Wang Zhong: "I'm going to meet my fiancée. I wish you a Merry Christmas."

Others raised their glasses: "Merry Christmas!"
