Chapter 1060: Allied General Staff (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The countries agreed to join the Central Powers, which undoubtedly paved the way for Germany to integrate the forces of the whole of Europe. Next, before the outbreak of war, Germany will focus on integrating the countries of Europe, mobilizing all their forces and pinching them together. In this way, after the outbreak of a future war, the possibility of victory for Germany will be greater.

On the second day of the conference, Field Marshal Manstein, Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff, began to propose to the countries participating in the Central Powers the mobilization of troops after the outbreak of war.

The protectorate of the empire had been notified before. They already have a number in their hearts, so they won't announce it at this meeting. Of course, as a German protectorate, they had no right to object. There is no room for bargaining at all, and that is perhaps the price to be paid for putting the security of the country under the protection of Germany.

"The Kingdom of Italy, after the outbreak of war, needs to mobilize three million troops, at the disposal of the General Staff of the Central Powers. Among them, 1.5 million troops need to be mobilized within three months of the outbreak of war! Marshal Manstein said.

The Kingdom of Italy has a population of more than 40 million, and mobilizing an army of 3 million is far from the limit for them. However, it will undoubtedly cost a lot of money to mobilize such an army and equip them.

Vittorio? King Emanuele III and Prime Minister Mussolini couldn't help but feel a pain in their flesh. However, when they said they had joined the Allies, they had spoken very beautifully. If they regret it at this time, their reputation will be completely lost. What's more, Germany will not let them go again. Therefore, in the face of Germany's demands, Mussolini had to pat his chest and promise that after the outbreak of war, the Kingdom of Italy would definitely mobilize three million troops and obey the dispatch of the General Staff of the Central Powers.

"Republic of Turkey, after the outbreak of war, mobilize 1.2 million troops at the disposal of the General Staff of the Central Powers! Among them, 600,000 were mobilized three months after the outbreak of the war. Marshal Manstein said.

The current Republic of Turkey is, after all, not the original Ottoman Turkish Empire. After losing a large amount of territory, their population also shrank to less than 20 million. But even so, mobilizing 1.2 million troops is not much of a problem for them.

"Okay, no problem!" President Kemal replied very dryly.

"Kingdom of England and Wales, after the outbreak of war, you need to mobilize three million troops at the disposal of the Allied General Staff. One and a half million of them will be mobilized three months after the outbreak of the war! Marshal Manstein continued.

The Kingdom of England and Wales inherited the best part of the British Empire and had the largest population, with a population of more than 40 million. They mobilized three million troops, and that was no problem at all.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" King Arthur knew though, that it would cut off a lot of money. But if it can help Germany to destroy the British Empire, it will undoubtedly be very worthwhile.

The Kingdom of Spain had a population of more than 20 million, so in Manstein's plan, they needed to mobilize 1.5 million troops. Neither the King nor the Prime Minister of Spain had any objection to this.

The Kingdom of Romania, with a population of eighteen million, was to mobilize one and a half million troops to fight the war.

France, with a population of sixteen million (a country established in the south of France, and the northern territories already incorporated into Germany), were to mobilize a million troops to fight.

The Kingdom of Bulgaria has a population of six million, and they will mobilize four hundred thousand troops to fight.

The Kingdom of Sweden, with a population of more than six million, will also mobilize 400,000 troops to fight.

The Portuguese industrial state, with a population of more than 7 million, will mobilize half a million troops to fight the war.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, with a population of more than eight million, will mobilize 600,000 troops to fight.

The Kingdom of Greece, with a population of more than seven million, was to mobilize half a million troops to fight.

The Kingdom of Denmark has a population of four million, and they will mobilize 300,000 troops to fight.

The Kingdom of Norway has a population of three million, and they will mobilize two hundred thousand troops to fight.

The Principality of Luxembourg has a population of 300,000, and they will mobilize 20,000 troops to fight.

None of the countries had any objection to Germany's proposal for the number of troops they needed to mobilize after the outbreak of war. Although, they all know that it means that they are going to pay a lot of money. However, Germany is like apportioning tasks, they have no right to refuse and oppose at all! If they oppose it, they may anger Germany again. The consequences of this will be very serious.

Even if you don't count the Kingdom of England and Wales, which has already been counted before, they belong to the countries under the control of the Empire, so in the plans of the General Staff, their army belongs to the second echelon.

After deducting the Kingdom of England and Wales, the number of troops that other countries promised to mobilize after the outbreak of war also amounted to 10,820,000. Even if only half of the troops were mobilized within three months of the outbreak of the war, that would be 5,410,000. Add to this the six million and 8.8 million troops that the German protectorates and controlled countries were able to mobilize at the beginning of the war, and this is already more than 12 million. If we add the German Reich's own army, then, in this war, the German-led Allied Powers, the army alone, had more than 30 million people.

Such a large army is enough to sweep away all enemies. Even if several of Germany's enemies were united, Germany would be perfectly capable of confronting them. At least, the Buese and Russia on the European continent will definitely not be able to withstand so many Allied * troops.

Of course, although the Allies were able to mobilize so many troops, these troops came from different countries and did not speak the same language, and if they wanted to make their combat effectiveness on the battlefield, they needed to have a smooth command. Otherwise, once there is confusion in command, they will not only not be a help to the German army on the battlefield, but will drag down the German army. Germany went to great lengths to form the Allies, and then forced the member states to mobilize so many troops, not to make them hold back, but to sincerely hope that they could share the pressure on the German army on the battlefield. Even if they can't fight the enemy's first-line troops, as long as they can defeat those second- and third-line troops, or ensure the security of logistics supply lines, it will be enough.

In order to command these armies, the Allied Powers set up a special Allied General Staff to coordinate and command these armies.
