.Most countries in the world have expressed positive welcome to the signing of the German-Japanese armistice agreement, and many people have proposed to mark the day signed by the representatives of both sides, December 8, as World Peace Day to commemorate this great moment.

However, permanent peace only exists in people's dreams.

When the news came back to Germany, most of the 90 million local citizens seemed relatively calm. In their hearts, there were so many things behind this war that when they heard the news of the armistice, many people felt mixed feelings. At the beginning of the war, a considerable number of Germans looked at the war with a normal mind, such as the assassination of William II, and the evil country. The essence of the war is actually the battle between two countries for a certain kind of interests. With Germany's strong national strength and huge ally groups, most people felt that it would not take too long to defeat Japan.

Soon after, the Japanese began to frequently create vicious attacks on the government and civilians in Germany, which annoyed the strong-willed Germans. During that period, the enthusiasm of the German people for war was unprecedentedly high. Although the Far East war was unfavorable, people still had a positive attitude, and the powerful German and Turkish coalition forces continued to advance steadily on land, which gave people great confidence.

As the war deepened, more and more German soldiers bleed and sacrificed on the battlefield, which also meant that more and more German families received "black notices". Faced with huge annual war expenditures, some economists first proposed to end this war of hard-working expeditions, because after taking away all the colonies of the Japanese Empire, Germany had gained as much benefit from this war, and the subsequent attack on the Japanese mainland would be far greater than the benefits.

Gradually, the call for an end to the war was growing. This situation was once regarded by Japanese officials as the turning point in the war, but they never expected that a movie rekindled the deep desire for battle in German. The German government carried out the war for another year - the Japanese Empire also persisted in dire straits for another year.

In the end, the war in the Far East ended with the fatigue of both sides. In Russia, which was vast and spanning the Eurasian continent, the war came to an end with the arrival of winter. The last group of democratic Russian soldiers accepted the adaptation of the Soviet Red Army, and the only thing left in Russia was Varadimpetro's Far East separatist forces were still struggling to support it. Although the situation in Russia seemed to be determined, the Soviet Red Army also made the world admire its powerful combat power, and what Varadimpetro allowed countries to see was an insatiable and capricious ugly face, but neither the Allies nor some neutral countries wanted to see the emergence of a powerful Russia. Therefore, they still used the sea cucumber as the fulcrum to transport arms, materials and even so-called volunteer troops to Varadimpetro's power.

People are betting that at the beginning of the next spring, the Soviet Red Army rushed to the Sea of ​​Japan in one fell swoop, or Varadimpetro defended Russia's last "reserved land". From the perspective of military critics, this is a "very dangerous gambling". Not only will the aid in the whole ship and ship will be slaughtered, but it may also cause the Soviets to be jealous of all the interferers. Of course, others hope that the Soviet Union will hate all the interferers, and it is better to have another world war, so that they will have the opportunity to take advantage of it and win their own place in the reorganization of the world pattern.

Brest, France.

When another ship full of personnel and supplies slowly sailed into the port, people could no longer remember which such ship was the first since the beginning of winter. Batches of soldiers carrying large luggage and rifles came here by sea. This beautiful French coastal city now became a military camp. Now, soldiers wearing military uniforms from various countries can be seen everywhere on the streets, including Germans, Turks, Italians, Greeks and Spanish, and even French soldiers wearing German-style uniforms. The number of these people and the number of logistics support personnel in various places has reached nearly 50,000. You should know that this city, including the suburbs, has only about 100,000 residents!

International security has improved the situation of insufficient troops in the joint rapid response forces of the multinationals. After the signing of the peace treaty between Germany and Japan, on December 20, 6,000 more Italian soldiers arrived in Brest, and a week later, Greece also sent 500 soldiers and 200 logistics personnel in the supplementary areas. After Christmas, Germany sent 10,000 more soldiers to Brest, and with the soldiers sent by other countries, the rapid response forces stationed in Europe finally reached the expected scale. Although these tens of thousands of soldiers are not enough to be a regular regiment of a powerful country, in the words of League of Nations officials, it is more than enough to deal with conflicts in some regions.

The phenomenon of sufficient troops satisfies the commanders of the rapid response force, but a large number of soldiers of different nationalities pouring into Brest in a short period of time also brought some very difficult problems to the local French. First, according to the agreement between the participating countries.

The soldiers sent by various countries carry their own weapons and equipment, and the ammunition is also shipped by their own countries, and the diet is purchased by the logistics departments of the troops of various countries at their respective locations. The responsibilities of the local government are to coordinate the needs of the troops of various countries and ensure the supply of food. This does not seem to be difficult, but in fact, the food culture and habits of different countries and ethnic groups are very different, especially the majority of Turkish soldiers who believe in Islam. They do not eat pork, dog meat, donkey meat, horse meat, rabbit meat, scaleless fish and animal blood. Most soldiers from other countries also have their own preferences. These requirements make the officials of the local government of Brest so busy that they will be criticized by the other party if they are accidentally criticized, and many people even have no time to deal with their own affairs.

Secondly, the quality of soldiers in various countries is uneven, and there are obstacles to language communication with local French residents. In addition, the tempting beaches and bars on the west coast of France, tall and pretty French girls, physical conflicts between soldiers and civilians from various countries occur frequently. Every weekend, soldiers from various countries who are allowed to go out have become the most troublesome persons in the Brest police department but dare not offend them. At the same time, the coalition command and local police department have a lot of brains. Although the joint rapid response force command of the many countries has established a military police department that specializes in supervising the discipline of officers and soldiers of various countries, after catching coalition soldiers who violate regulations, the headquarters often has to consider the face of the governments of various countries, so at best, it is to imprison the perpetrators for several days or send them back to their country. Therefore, this problem has never been fundamentally solved.

The problems in life are not all the headaches for commanders. The officers and soldiers sent by countries to participate in the Joint Rapid Response Force are elite personnel in their own country, but the equipment and training levels of each country are different. The quality and combat effectiveness of German soldiers are recognized as world-class. They also have enviable excellent weapons, which are incomparable to Finland, Italy and even Turkish soldiers, and the obvious gap has also brought some adverse effects. In joint operation training, the troops of various countries have never reached tacit cooperation. German officers and soldiers often look down on soldiers from second-rate countries, while Italians disdain to follow closely behind German butts like Finland and Turkish soldiers. What is also helpless is that the speed of soldiers of various countries is also different, and as a result, they are always full of jokes in joint marching training.

After three months of training, the Joint Rapid Response Force was able to respond quickly, but it always lacked "union", and some people disagree. They felt that the political significance of establishing this joint force was far greater than reality, and they did not need to consider other opponents except Russia. At this time, unrest broke out in Spain again. At the request of Spain's King Alfonso XIII, the International Security League decided to send a Rapid Response Force to Spain to assist the government forces in suppressing this "peasant riot."

After the League of Nations made the decision, in Brest, soldiers from the joint rapid response forces quickly concentrated according to the procedures that had been practiced many times before, and took a bus to the airport. A huge German transport plane quickly appeared in front of them. However, until they boarded the plane, many soldiers still had the illusion of ordinary exercises. Some people looked nervous and serious, but more people were talking and laughing. In their opinion, this trip to Spain could be regarded as a trip, because their opponents were just a group of "peasants carrying hoes and sickles"!

Only those soldiers from Spain told their foreign counterparts carefully that the situation in Spain was far less simple than they thought. Peasant movements and revolutionary activities broke out 20 years ago. If it weren't for the multiple times of material assistance or armed interference from foreign governments, Alfonso XIII's regime would have collapsed long ago. Don't underestimate those armed forces composed of peasants, handicraftsmen and unemployed workers. Although they are poorly equipped, their determination and will to fight are not weak at all, and they are good at using various flexible combat methods. It is not once or twice to lose the government army!

It is undeniable that the Russian revolution had a profound impact on the situation in Spain, but the more important reason is that the ruling class of this country has been corrupted. However, it seems that every country wants to see its neighbors ruled by a group of incompetent people, so every time there is an uprising in Spain, Germany, Italy and even Portugal are willing to provide assistance to the government of Alfonso XIII, and most of the time it is free.

This time, the identity of entering Spain for armed interference seemed more complicated than ever. Since France and Spain were only separated by each other, the Luftwaffe transport planes quickly transported the first batch of 7,000 fast-response troops to Toledo, 100 kilometers from the Spanish capital Madrid.

In the next two days, another 32,000 coalition soldiers entered Spain. The primary task of these multinational troops was to cooperate with the Spanish government forces to prevent the revolutionary armed forces from entering Madrid.

Compared with the old Mauser rifles and heavy Maxim water-cooled machine guns in the hands of the soldiers of the Spanish government, the weapons automation level of the soldiers of the multinational joint forces is much higher. Not to mention the German army soldiers who are generally equipped with MP24 submachine guns and gg semi-automatic rifles, even the Italian army equipped the light machine guns to the grassroots infantry platoons. The equipment of the Turkish Army is basically at a technical level of 34 years different from that of the German counterparts. Half of the Greek infantry uses weapons purchased from Germany and the other half is also imitated with German equipment. Needless to say, Finland and France are completely German equipment, only Britain and Ukraine have followed their respective characteristics, namely British and Russian equipment.

After allocating their respective defense zones, the soldiers of the joint forces of the multinational began familiar trench digging activities. In terms of technical standards for field fortifications, the army of each country has its own determination and it is difficult to achieve unity in a short period of time. Therefore, the troops of each country are carried out according to their own standards. Considering that their current lack of artillery, especially heavy artillery, German, Turkish, British and French commanders still let their soldiers build the fortifications as strong as possible, this decision was soon proved very wise. Only the Italians disagreed. Not only did they have a significantly slower project progress, but they also "cut corners" in the depth of the trench and the thickness of the bunker. This behavior quickly brought them many unnecessary losses in the later first battle.

As the number of anti-government armed forces with superior numbers continued to approach Madrid, the first battle between the soldiers of the joint forces started on February 4. Although the Spanish government forces had significantly more artillery than the anti-government armed forces, their artillery positions and ammunition depots were attacked by the anti-government armed forces on the first night of the war, and many artillery and ammunition were lost. Some Spanish government soldiers who supported the revolution took the opportunity to drive trumpets or simply defected to the enemy camp. As a result, at dawn the next day, the soldiers of the joint forces found that several Spanish government positions were empty, and the commanders had to draw soldiers from their own troops to make up for the position. The battle on this day was extremely fierce. If the German Air Force had not provided some fire support in time, the pressure on the joint forces would have been greater.
