Expanding the army, this is the only way to solve the problem of insufficient troops. However, Germany cannot expand its military indefinitely, and it is necessary to take into account Germany's ability to withstand national strength.

The Imperial High Command has drawn up a detailed plan for military expansion, which is now being evaluated by Xu's current cabinet. If this plan is put into effect, the German army, navy, and air forces will be increased by 30 percent within a year to 5.2 million men, not including the expansion of the Waffen-SS forces directly under the Führer.

This is close to Xu Jun's estimate of the limit of Germany's ability to withstand troops, and the bottom line set by Xu Jun for the German Wehrmacht is six million.

Moreover, even if this plan is implemented now, it will take at least half a year to train these troops if they want to develop combat effectiveness, and equipping these newly formed units alone is quite a huge project.

Even if Germany's military expansion is completed, Xu Jun is not too sure whether the number of troops can support large-scale battles in two theaters at the same time, if you add the distant Asian battlefield, if you are not fully prepared, if you are not careful, Germany may fall into the quagmire or even fall directly into the abyss.

However, if he is well prepared and uses strategy and tactics properly, he may only need a small number of troops to achieve the effect he wants, and Xu Jun is still very confident in this regard. The key is how much this small amount is, and how well the troops must be prepared to be adequate.

Regarding these questions, Xu Jun was ready to let the staff officers of the headquarters discuss them, and they were more professional than him in this regard, and should be able to give Xu Jun a satisfactory answer. Of course, what was discussed was classified as the Empire's top secret.

Before everything is ready, Xu Jun still has a lot of work to complete.

According to Xu Jun's preliminary estimates, it would take at least eight months for Germany to accumulate enough strength in Asia to confront the Japanese army.

Before that, if Xu Jun's Asian strategy is to be implemented, there is another key issue that must be solved as soon as possible, that is, the complete defeat of Britain. Xu Jun's current strategic plans for all directions are based on defeating the British. Only by defeating Britain can Xu Jun let go of his hands and feet, completely change the overall structure of the world, and establish a new international order.

This raises another question...... Time, it takes time to complete all this, and what Xu Jun lacks most now is time.

Germany had already won the European theater, and although the battle of England had not yet begun, everyone could see that Germany would be the final victor.

Xu Jun has no doubts about the arrival of peace in Europe, and the first thing he needs to consider now is how to maintain this precious peace, so that he can have enough time to adjust his strategy and accumulate strength to face the challenges from Soviet Russia and other hostile forces.

Now he has a lot of plans to complete, a mountain of work to do, and countless troubles to solve. With all the conditions not yet ripe, he really cannot and cannot promote the development of the Asian strategy at this time.

So, he came up with this plan. It can help China and Germany without wasting precious time.

First of all, Germany must restore contact with the Chinese government as soon as possible.

Officially, though, China has not severed diplomatic relations with Germany. But in fact, Germany's ties with China have been semi-severed, and due to the ambiguity of Germany's relations with Japan in the past two years, coupled with the deliberate push of the Nazi mentally retarded group of Nazis in the German Foreign Office and Hitler, an idiot on Asian issues, the temperature of Germany and China has dropped to near the freezing point in history.

The Chinese side seemed to want to make some remedies in the early days of the cooling of German-Chinese relations, but after realizing that Hitler was getting closer to Japan, especially after the German government recognized the puppet Manchurian government, the Chinese abandoned diplomatic efforts.

However, Xu Jun knows that China still misses the beautiful days of close cooperation with Germany, and has always hoped that Germany will change its mind and resume its assistance to China.

Historically, China did not really sever diplomatic relations with Germany until Germany completely allied itself with Japan and the German government recognized the puppet regime in Nanjing.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek was a political opportunist, and Xu Jun knew this very well, and if he could get enough benefits from it, he would not hesitate to turn against Germany.

Xu Jun once looked at a piece of information obtained by the Intelligence Department of the High Headquarters from the British at the beginning of the war, and the contents of it made him dumbfounded.

Chiang Kai-shek went so far as to ask the British government if China was needed to enter the war, and if the British government agreed, China could immediately declare war on Germany, on the condition that Britain would give him adequate assistance.

Fortunately, the British Empire was not defeated, and the pride of the old empire prompted them to flatly reject Chiang Kai-shek's proposal, on the grounds that the British did not need the help of the Chinese in the war, and Britain could defeat any enemy who challenged her.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this matter may be regarded as a joke, but in Xu Jun's eyes, the sinister degree of it makes people shudder when they think about it.

Xu Jun really pinched a cold sweat for China, the so-called miss is a thousand miles, if Britain agrees to China's request, then what will happen to China, Xu Jun doesn't even dare to think about it.

If China had declared war on Germany at the beginning of the war in Europe, with Hitler's character, he would never have forgiven such a provocation. This paranoid genius would have regarded the declaration of war from distant and weak China as an insult and contempt for him personally and for Germany as a whole, and he could tolerate the challenge of a powerful empire, but would never tolerate the provocation of a weak country.

This guy will definitely regard China as his personal enemy and will use all means to retaliate against China at any cost.

The result would be catastrophic, and Japan would receive more support and assistance from Germany, both technically, materially, and even politically. Germany would have forced the overlords with colonies in Asia to support Japan's aggression, rather than acquiescing to their own Asian problems, as it has historically done, and Japan would have received most of the resources she wanted in 40 years.

And because China declared war on Germany, she would lose access to weapons and support from other neutral countries, which is why China delayed until the outbreak of the Pacific War before officially declaring war on Japan. By that time, the only ones who could openly support him would be the British Empire and her vassals, who had been beaten to the point of being only half a breath.

Whichever of these tactics Germany adopts will have a huge impact on the pattern of the Asian theater.

Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek's stupid request was rejected by the arrogant British government, and as the war situation in Europe became clearer, the clever chairman never made a similar request, and he must have been shocked by his disappearance at that time.

Now that Xu Jun is here, Germany's Asia strategy has begun to make a 180-degree turn, and I wonder if that Chinese Washington will be happy because of the refusal of the British.

Xu Jun will not be stupid enough to help him and his ** government unconditionally, Germany does not have so many families that can be used to defeat, the United States has given this ** government tens of billions of free aid, but the result is all lost, and now it will not be much better if it is replaced by Germany.

Germany also cannot have the idea of propping up a Chinese regime and reaping benefits from it, and Xu Jun does not want to stand in opposition to the Chinese people, especially if he understands this history.

Xu Jun's initial positioning for Germany was that Germany would be China's best friend and ...... before Germany formally intervened in the war in Asia Suppliers.

Germany will provide China with all kinds of weapons and equipment of good quality, large quantities, and reliable performance, as well as corresponding ammunition and supporting materials.

Germany will provide China with all the weapons of murder except for certain types of heavy equipment, and will train Chinese soldiers to use these weapons free of charge, but the Chinese side will be responsible for the salaries, food and lodging of the German instructors.

Germany can also export senior military advisers to train middle- and lower-ranking officers in China, and commissions are calculated by the level and seniority of the advisers.

Germany can even provide China with the latest machining equipment for the manufacture of certain types of weapons and equipment, and Germany will also send corresponding technical personnel to guide the training, of course, China can also send personnel to Germany for training, of course, this also has to be charged.

Germany's major military academies will fully recruit students from China, and students from major military academies will be allowed to come to Germany for further study and learn more advanced military theories and technologies.

Germany will decide on the technical level and quantity of the goods on the supply order according to the situation in China, and if the Chinese side gains a strategic advantage, Germany will consider putting more advanced and high-grade weapons on the shelves, and if the situation in China deteriorates, Germany will only be able to provide the most basic weapons and equipment.

Xu Jun thought about this for a long time, although he had thought about selling Germany's most advanced equipment to China, but when he thought that some equipment was likely to appear at the results exhibition in Tokyo, Japan in a week or two, Xu Jun could only grit his teeth and give up that tempting idea.

Of course, these businesses could not begin until relations with China had been re-established, and in order to show that Germany attached importance to this, Xu Jun decided to send a high-level diplomatic delegation to China, and for the post of head of the mission, Xu Jun chose Field Marshal Brünnberg, who had served as German defense minister and commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht.

The reason for this is that this veteran soldier is high enough, senior, experienced enough, and loves Germany, the most important of which is that he is the most idle one among the existing German field marshals
