Chapter 1055: Rebuilding the Alliance (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"To arm so many armies, you need a lot of weapons and equipment. In addition, the consumption of war materials will also be very staggering. All of this will make the cost of the empire in the war multiply. Qin Tian said with a frown.
Of course, the armies of these protectorates can play a role on the battlefield. However, if the logistics of the German Empire were to be dragged down by this, it would do more harm than good.
"Your Majesty, in terms of weaponry, we will equip the armies of these protectorates with the weapons that we have changed from before. In addition, it is almost okay to reduce the heavy weapons they are equipped with, mainly to meet the needs of light weapons. After all, they will rarely be involved in the operations of front-line troops. Mainly for tasks in the rear of the battlefield. In terms of supply, since the protectorates sent so many troops to participate in the war, they naturally need to be responsible for the logistics of the troops. Of course, those countries whose economic conditions are too poor cannot be completed, and the empire still needs to help them. The empire could promise them that after defeating those enemies, they would be entitled to a share of the benefits of the war. I think that in this case, all countries will participate in it. Marshal Manstein continued.
Qin Tian nodded, if according to Marshal Manstein's plan, then the empire would indeed only need to pay a small price to ensure that the empire would have enough troops on the battlefield in the future.
"In that case, let's do what you planned!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Manstein had a happy look on his face. Qin Tian agreed to their plan, which undoubtedly meant that they could use Qin Tian's name to ask those protectorates to cooperate. With Qin Tian's prestige, those protectorates simply did not dare to refuse Germany's demands. In this way, the probability of success of the plan will increase a lot.
"Your Majesty, seeing that Marshal Manstein has assembled so many troops in the protectorate of the empire, the minister suddenly has an idea." Imperial Foreign Minister Gustav? Straseman said.
"Oh? What's the idea? Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, there are many countries in the whole of Europe, in addition to the Empire and the Brasse, as well as the protectorates of the Empire. If only they could be brought closer to the Empire's alliance. Then, the empire will also be greatly strengthened. After all, the Empire is now the most powerful country in the world. Europe, on the other hand, is the center of the world. If we can twist the power of the whole of Europe into a single rope, it will enable the Empire to win this war at the least cost! "Gustav? Straseman said.
Qin Tian couldn't help but nodded, although most of the remaining countries were small countries. However, if they are integrated, the power is also not weak. For example, the Kingdom of Italy is a traditional power, although it has declined, but the foundation is still there. In particular, after Mussolini became the prime minister of the Kingdom of Italy, he began to actively expand outward. It's just that the whole of the Mediterranean and even the whole of Africa is the sphere of influence of Germany, and the Kingdom of Italy wants to expand, but there is no local expansion.
The Republic of Turkey, the Kingdom of Spain, can also be considered a great power. There are also the Kingdom of Romania, Bulgaria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, the Portuguese Republic and Greece. If these countries could be integrated and joined under the banner of the Central Powers led by the German Empire, Germany would have a great increase in power.
Even so, the military strength of these countries is not very strong, and the combat power of the army is relatively poor. But, as with the German protectorates, there was always no problem in carrying out rear missions, even if they were unable to participate in front-line operations. What's more, the enemies of Germany, their troops are also not all elite troops. The standing army may be very combative, and Germany's protectorates and allies are no rivals. However, as long as the Germans eliminated their elite troops, the remaining hastily mobilized troops were not very combative. The German protectorates and the armies of the allies would be able to confront them. In this case, the German army will have a large surplus in terms of strength. The losses in the war will not be too great.
"Your Majesty, this is a very good idea. In that case, we will be able to unite all the forces of the whole of Europe, except for the Buzza-Russia. The number of troops we can control will once again increase by a third. With so many troops, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, even if it is a pile of people, it can defeat those enemies! Marshal Manstein said excitedly.
Qin Tian knew that the crowd tactic was Bu's forte tactic. In another time and space, didn't they rely on their huge forces to drag down the Führer's Germany? The advanced and powerful Haw Par tank was overwhelmed by the cheap T-34 tank with the tactics of the tank sea.
In this time and space, if Germany can have absolute superiority in terms of troops, this will make it impossible for Bu and Russia to have any advantage in this regard. Then, Germany's chances of victory will rise again. Sufficient troops will allow Germany to adopt the aggressive tactics of attacking from all sides instead of adopting conservative tactics. Burussia will be exhausted because of its military disadvantage. In this way, Germany will be able to defeat the Russians in the shortest possible time. Even in the future, when it is necessary to use troops on the mainland of the Americas and island countries, the troops of these countries can be sent. In that case, the losses of the German army could be greatly reduced.
Especially in the island countries, those island people are not afraid of death. Once the German army landed on the island country, it would inevitably encounter a frenzied counterattack by the island people. In that case, the German casualties would inevitably rise. If the armies of other countries were to deal with the crazy islanders, then the losses of the German army would naturally be much less. Even if it eventually leads to mass casualties among civilians on the island, it has nothing to do with the German army.
"Since everyone thinks it is feasible, then, in the name of the Empire, invite the leaders of those countries to Berlin. The Confederate bloc, it's time to rebuild too! Qin Tian said.
In World War I, Germany and Austria-Hungary were undoubtedly the core of the Central Powers, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria was also a member of the Central Powers. However, after Austria-Hungary withdrew from the Central Powers, the Central Powers became nothing. Now, with the next world war about to break out, Germany has stepped in to rebuild the Allies, which will be very helpful in strengthening Germany's power.
