Chapter 1198: Popular Support (7th Update)

In winter, temperatures in Berlin are usually below freezing. It's just that compared to cold Russia, it's a lot warmer here. The people in the city are in a hurry.

It's been three months since the war broke out, but it hasn't had much impact on ordinary people in Germany. Their lives are still going on in order. However, with the large number of young men conscripted into the army, the number of young men in the country has greatly decreased. Many factories are even able to increase the size of female workers in order to ensure production efficiency.

Germany today is not the Germany of the last world war. In the last world war, Germany was blockaded at the beginning of the war, and only the supplies stored before the war could be used. Therefore, the daily necessities have to be controlled. Although it was not long, after the German navy defeated the British navy, Germany's overseas trade routes were re-established. But it still left a deep impression on the people.

But this time, Germany seems to be in a much better position. Now Germany is already a world hegemon. All of Europe, Africa and most of Asia, were under German rule. The mighty German navy, which cruised the world's seas, ensured that Germany could get everything it needed from its vast colonies. Therefore, even with the outbreak of war, the supply of goods in Germany was not tight, but the price of goods increased slightly.

Of course, this is only temporary. Now Germany, or the Allies, is only at war against the Buenos and Russia. As the scale of the war grows and more and more countries get involved, the pressure on Germany will increase. At that time, perhaps even Germany's powerful navy would not be able to fully secure the maritime trade routes. In that case, it would be very difficult for Germany to obtain enough supplies.

Therefore, before the outbreak of the war, Germany did not stop stockpiling all kinds of war materials. In the case that these war materials can not be used, they should not be used as much as possible, and these materials should be used as much as possible at the last critical moment. Emperor Qin Tian knew very well that this world war would last longer than the previous world war. If Germany were to win this world war, it would probably have to pay an even greater price. Therefore, if Germany wants to win this world war, it must plan carefully and not tolerate a little sloppiness.

Other important ministers of Germany, under the subtle influence of Qin Tian, also attached great importance to this world war. They knew the importance of the war for Germany and for the population as a whole. If it fails, Germany's long-term preparations will be in vain. You don't have to think about it to know that after other countries defeat Germany, they will definitely destroy Germany. Therefore, even if it costs a lot, they must win this war.

The German people, most of them, supported the war. Although they all know very well that where there is war there will be death. Perhaps their fathers, brothers, sons, or other relatives and friends will be killed in the war. But for the sake of the nation of the country, they all believe that it is as it should be. The lives of the German people are much better now than they were more than they were 20 years ago. After Germany became the world hegemon and possessed the world's most extensive and rich colonies, it used the wealth obtained from these colonies to increase the construction of public infrastructure and social welfare, and greatly improved the welfare of the people. It is precisely because of this that the German people also cherish their current life very much. They knew that if Germany were defeated in the war, the good old days they had would be gone.

What's more, this time Germany declared war on Buenos and Russia, which was completely out of necessity. Who emboldened Burussia to invade the German protectorate? As Germany became the world hegemon, the self-esteem and self-confidence of the German people were also constantly expanding. The invasion of the Kingdom of Ukraine by Burussia is simply a slap in the face of all Germans, which naturally cannot be accepted by them. Even if it costs with their lives, the Russians will have to pay a heavy price for it. In addition, the Imperial Emperor Qin Tian was already equivalent to a god-like existence in the minds of the people. His will, the people of the empire will naturally carry it out unconditionally.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the German people are so supportive of the war.

Fortunately, the performance of the German* army on the battlefield did not disappoint them either. Less than three months after the outbreak of the war, the German army had already wiped out more than three million Russian troops on the battlefield in Burussia. And it also completely annihilated the Russian Navy and inflicted heavy damage on the Russian Air Force. Such a victory made all Germans rejoice. In their opinion, the Burussia must have been hit hard by having lost so many troops. Then, it seems that it is not very far from Germany completely defeating Burussia.

Although Germany had many enemies, the German people still believed that under the leadership of the great German Kaiser, Germany would be able to defeat these enemies one after another. The final victory must also belong to the German Empire.

In the square outside the German Imperial Palace, people spontaneously celebrate the victory of the German army almost every day. The High Command of the German Empire will inform the entire population of the Reich about the victories of the German army on the frontline battlefield through television and radio, so that they can know that the German army is winning victory on the battlefield step by step and is doing its best to win the war.

On the morning of January 2, 1940, tens of thousands of people were celebrating the German protectorate in the square in front of the Imperial Palace, and the troops of Poland and Belarus thwarted the Russian winter offensive on the front, eliminating more than half a million Russian troops.

Of course, the exact figures, although exaggerated a lot, made the German hits cheer for this.

"Long live the German Reich! Well done for the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Belarus! ”

Such slogans and cheers resounded throughout the square.

Many Germans did not expect that the Polish Army and the Belarusian Army would also be able to perform so well on the battlefield, which made them even more optimistic about this war. After all, even the protectorate of Germany is so capable of fighting, let alone the German army, which is known as the first in the world. In such an internal situation, what did the Russians take to resist the armies of Germany and the Central Powers as a whole. The German people were even optimistic that perhaps in 1940, Germany would be able to completely defeat Russia and end the war on the European battlefield.
