Chapter 1052: Powerful Military Force (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

If the German Army expands to 36 group armies and 7.2 million men, there should be no problem in defeating the Burussians with such a huge force. Although, the maximum mobilization capacity of Burussia is about 12 million. However, the gap between the weapons and equipment of the two sides is too great, there is also a generational gap in operational concepts, and there is a huge gap in the combat quality of soldiers.

Under such circumstances, the Germans only need to fight steadily and destroy the main force of the Russian army through two or three large-scale operations. Then, then the German army can eat away at Burussia step by step.

The Germany of this time and space is no better than the Germany of the head of state of another time and space. Whether it is national strength or the international environment, Germany in this time and space is much better than the Germany of the Führer. Führer's Germany, with few resources, could not conduct a long war. Therefore, they can only try their best to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time and win the war. However, Qin Tian's Germany is different. They have a population that is not much smaller than that of Burussia, which ensures that they will have sufficient troops. At the same time, the territory was much larger than that of Marshal Germany, and it also had the largest colonies in the world, which ensured that Germany had enough strength to carry on the war, even if it dragged on for a longer time!

As long as Germany can defeat the Russians in the war, then Germany will have a good chance of winning. Then, Germany will be able to defeat the other enemies with its strong naval and air forces.

"The two group armies stationed overseas also need to be strengthened at the first opportunity. Once we go to war with Russia in Europe, the island countries will definitely seize this opportunity and march to the South Seas and Australia! Qin Tian said.

He knows the character of the island people too well, and with such a bargain, they will definitely take advantage of it. Moreover, Germany and the island nation are now enemies of life and death. Over the years, the people of the island countries have tightened their belts to develop military strength, isn't it just to seek revenge on Germany? This has almost become the common goal of the entire country and nation of the island nation. Therefore, once a war breaks out, it will inevitably be a large-scale battle.

"Your Majesty, we have recruited locals in Nanyang and Australia to form some troops. Although the number is not very large, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, it can barely be used. With their assistance, relying on our two elite armies to resist the attack of the islanders, there should be no problem! Marshal Manstein said.

Qin Tian shook his head, he knew that Marshal Manstein and they all underestimated the people of the island country. Although the weapons and equipment of the islanders are not as good as those of the German army, their will to fight is very strong. When the war is fought, he is not afraid of death. Such a style of warfare often makes it impossible for the armies of other countries to contend with it. Therefore, if the German army did not pay attention to this point in the battle with the army of the island nation. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be ugly to lose.

In addition, Qin Tian was not optimistic about those indigenous armies in Nanyang and Australia. Although the weapons they are equipped with are all obsolete weapons of the German army, they are more advanced than those equipped by the army of the island nation. However, their will to fight is too bad, and their training is far inferior to that of the island army. As soon as you go to the battlefield, you will inevitably be easily defeated when you encounter the fierce and death-defying attack method of the island army.

"Those colonial troops are simply unreliable. At most, they are used to maintain law and order in the rear, and if they are allowed to go into battle, they will be vulnerable. When the time comes, there will be no other role at all, except to drag our troops back. Qin Tian said.

Marshal Manstein didn't expect Qin Tian to look down on the colonial army so much, but he knew that Qin Tian must have his basis for saying this. Originally, he also planned to temporarily take a defensive position in Nanyang and Australia with the help of his existing troops. Wait until the victory in the European theater to send reinforcements to the Far East. But now it seems that this is not going to work!

"Your Majesty, in that case, after our second group army is formed, we can send two more group armies to Nanyang and Australia. In this way, we have 800,000 people in Nanyang and Australia. If you take a defensive position, there is no problem in resisting the attack of the islanders. Marshal Manstein said.

Qin Tian nodded, this was undoubtedly a little safer. The islanders would certainly attack Germany, and they certainly would not have launched it at the beginning of the war. In that case, Germany would have plenty of time to send troops to the South Seas and Australia.

"Marshal Raeder, what about the Navy?" Qin Tian asked.

Like the Army, the Navy's task in this war is also very arduous. Because, after the outbreak of war, the Imperial Navy will deal with the United States, Britain and island nations at the same time, and in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, at the same time with a strong enemy. Although the Imperial Navy is very powerful, it is undoubtedly very difficult to deal with so many powerful countries at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the five fleets of the Imperial Navy have all completed their combat preparations. So far, our five fleets are equipped with a total of 38 capital ships and 20 aircraft carriers. This kind of combat power is enough to crush other countries. Even if we fight in the Pacific and Atlantic, we have a great advantage. In addition, the construction of a new class of aircraft carriers in the Empire is about to begin. Once completed and put into service, the Imperial Navy will have even greater strength. Marshal Raeder said.

The capital ships of the German Navy are still the same as those in the last war. Although, the first batch of warships has been in service for almost thirty years now, and it is already an out-and-out old ship. However, after the renovation, the combat effectiveness is still very strong, at least it can guarantee about ninety percent in its heyday. In a situation where aircraft carriers have become the main force, it is already very good that the capital ships can have such combat power. After all, in addition to the new capital ships of the United States that are stronger than the capital ships of Germany, the capital ships of other countries cannot compete with the capital ships of the German Navy.

In terms of aircraft carriers, the first two 'Pioneer-class' battleships of the German Navy have been retired from active service and have become training ships. The main aircraft carriers currently in service are 12 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, as well as four 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carriers and four 'Kaiser Wilhelm-class' aircraft carriers.

Among them, 12 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers, four each for the Home Fleet, the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, four 'Deutschland-class' aircraft carriers are equipped for the Indian Ocean Fleet, and four 'Kaiser William-class' aircraft carriers are equipped for the Mediterranean Fleet.
