SHIELD's new recruits

Zhu Erdian and Hijiyi returned to the capital and hurriedly sent a telegram to the country. The intelligence agencies of the two countries took action and started an investigation into the United States that they had neglected. The results surprised them.The United States has actually expanded its military, and it has been a long time. It has been almost a year, and the army has basically taken shape. Now it is conducting tactical research, and at the same time has a new understanding of the US fleet.

The imperial meeting was held in Japan. This is already two months after the United States seized Qing. Proportionally, the army can ignore the law, but the navy can't. A King Kong-class battle cruiser has no chance of winning, especially since they don't know the parameters of the US Navy's main battleship.

The islands occupied by Germany in the Pacific Ocean are all in the hands of the United States, and these are not required to be returned. As for Qingdao Island, the United States plans to return it after the war. This is Wesley's suggestion.

The Mariana Islands and the Caroline Islands have become the territory of the United States, which makes the Japanese very uncomfortable. They are surrounded, but they have nothing to do. Not to mention the gap in the fleet, the United Kingdom alone opposes them and The United States went to war. After learning about the strength of the United States, the United Kingdom began to send people to the United States, hoping to win over the United States to join the war, but the effect was not at all. The United States is now completely desperate for money.

After World War I started, the first Battle of the Marne River ended, and the long World War I began. The United States began to sell materials on both sides. A large number of materials continued to go to Europe, but the factories in the United States did not produce blindly, but It is a distribution system adopted by the country, and the training of the army is still continuing. At the same time, an army of 50 infantry divisions is formed again, and the special arms brigade is still under construction.

Wesley officially became the brigade commander of the major general, specializing in training the Marine Corps, forming four brigades again, and the navy's army began to build destroyers and light cruisers on a large scale, these two types of ships are currently the most needed.

It is planned to build 120 destroyers and 80 light cruisers, which will be completed in two years.The heavy cruiser plans to build 8 ships and 8 battleships. These will become the main force of the Atlantic Fleet, and there will be no construction plans in World War I.

This is a two-year mission. At the same time, there are many auxiliary ships including troop carriers, medical ships, landing ships and landing craft. Wesley's business empire has directly developed and has become the largest consortium in the United States, and it only belongs to one people.

The eight-hour work system and the Sunday rest system were implemented, and the employment of child labor was stopped, but the US economy began to develop rapidly, and everyone saw the benefits, especially the big capital groups preferred the current model.

Two years is an extremely long time for Europe. The war between the Allies and the Entente has been repeated. The number of deaths on both sides has directly increased, and both sides are trying their best to endure.

From July 1914, 7 to the end of 28, during the more than two years of war, the United States earned a lot of money, and at the same time, goods entered the Chinese market. No matter how chaotic China was, American goods still entered, and they were of high quality and low price. Commodities had a great impact on Japanese products, and Japan did not use a single soldier in World War I, which made Britain very dissatisfied.

Wesley came to Washington again, "Mr. Major General, we have rarely seen each other in the past two years, but I have been missing you." Mr. President said, "I asked you to come this time mainly to ask whether we need to join went in?"

"Soon, we can join in next year, but we will get very little. After the war, Britain will inevitably unite with France and Russia to suppress us."

"I am also aware of this, but now it seems that we have gained a lot, especially a large number of Pacific islands. Under your suggestion, we are already preparing to build some forward bases, but this needs to be done after the war. After all Economic development also requires persistence.”

"Mr. President's decision is very wise. It is inevitable. The economic transformation after the war is very important. Although we have always controlled domestic production, there will inevitably be some vacancies after the war. However, we have opened up the Chinese market, which is also very important. , plus domestic construction, I think it will be stable soon.”

"Then we decided to participate in the European war next year and end this battle as soon as possible. According to your idea, you are going to participate in the European war. When do you want to go?" the president asked.

"I want to be the first batch to go, and first look at the situation on the front line. Our soldiers will not serve as cannon fodder for the British and French."

"That's right, so I'm going to let you lead the first expeditionary force, what do you think?"

"I'm only a major general, Mr. President."

"You don't need to worry about this. The first batch is all division commanders and brigade commanders with the rank of major general, and you need a war to prove yourself Wesley."

"Okay, Mr. President, so I take the troops out?"

"Fifty divisions, ten heavy artillery brigades, five engineer brigades, what do you think?"

"I need four more Marine brigades."

"No problem, you choose these troops. If you can use these people to complete the European war, then you will become a lieutenant general."

"Then I say goodbye."

Wesley left the President's Office, and as soon as he went out, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This incident is unusual. Even if Wesley needs to prove himself, then he can just take his own marine brigade out, but now If he is asked to direct the first batch of expeditionary forces, then the problem will be serious.

First of all, his age. He came here in 1912. At that time, the body he occupied was only 18 years old. Now he is only 22 years old, and he will be 23 years old next year. At this age, he will become a major general and command [-] divisions, plus nearly [-] brigades. How many major generals and brigadier generals are there?Are they willing to obey their own?

Secondly, when it comes to Britain and France, will the generals there treat themselves as a dish?It seems that some people want to do something to themselves, but they dare not do it openly, but choose to do it secretly. If there is a problem with Wesley and the US military suffers heavy losses, then the military court will be decided by itself. How to judge is hard to say.

Sure enough, they are all white-eyed wolves. I have made the United States develop so well, and these guys still want to jump out. It seems that the essence of capitalists is like that. I will slowly clean up you in the future.

Wesley didn't refuse. He wanted to stand on a higher position and implement his plan, so he wasn't afraid of it.

Time was running out, and Wesley began to mobilize troops. He directly selected the first [-] infantry divisions, which had the longest training time, and then let them start to assemble. William Benson, who came to China, wanted to take command of the expeditionary fleet.
