Chapter 855: Future Enemies (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
54N 34S^!iM%Mpo9D|(In the immediate aftermath of 6Y, the German Army and Navy once again launched a joint operation.) The 3rd Army, the 8th Army, with the assistance of the Navy, began the expedition. The 3rd Army was to go straight to South Africa, while the 8th Army was to go to Egypt. Thus began the German war of reconquest of those colonies that had originally belonged to Britain.
As for the colonies of other countries, such as those of France and Italy, they have already been handed over. Germany only needs to send civilian officials and a small number of troops over to be able to receive it. In the long run, of course. In order to ensure the solidity of German rule in these colonies, the formation of colonial armies was also inevitable. The colonial army, with Germans as officers and natives as soldiers, did not expect them to be very strong, but as long as they could maintain law and order and secure logistics and supply lines after the outbreak of war, it would be sufficient. After all, the combat effectiveness of the colonial army was already weak, and where could you expect more.
The Army's 4th Army is also preparing to fight overseas at any time.
Although, the war is not completely over. However, the war launched against the colonies was only a small-scale operation. For Germany, it doesn't make much of a difference.
When Germany recovered these colonies, more resources would be available. Germany's industry and economy will also begin a new round of take-off. This will be very effective in enhancing Germany's strength and consolidating Germany's hegemony.
After the end of this world war, the political landscape of the world has changed dramatically. Germany became a well-deserved world hegemon, the only superpower. However, there are many powerful countries second only to Germany. The United States on the other side of the ocean is strong, although militarily weaker than Germany. However, in other areas, the gap is not large compared to Germany's. Therefore, the United States is definitely the most powerful challenger to Germany's hegemony. If the United States cannot be defeated, Germany's hegemony will not be truly secured.
In addition to the United States, the greatest threat to Germany is naturally Burussia. Although, others do not agree with this view. However, only Qin Tian knew how terrifying this country would be once it developed rapidly. In just over a decade, it has become the first industrial power in Europe! Thinking about it, Qin Tian felt terrified.
Moreover, Burussia is in close proximity to Germany. After a significant eastward expansion of German territory, the two countries became neighbors. If a war starts, you don't have to think about it to know that it will be very intense. The depth of the Terror and the population base of the Bruxenos will be a nightmare for Germany. If Qin Tian didn't want to lose the war like the Führer, he had to prepare early.
Of course, Germany in this time and space is more powerful than the Third Reich in another time and space. And because of the loss of a large amount of territory, the strength of Burussia has also weakened. Therefore, the possibility of a German victory is undoubtedly very high.
Other important ministers of the empire also proposed whether to suppress Burussia, especially their industry. However, Qin Tian thought about it and still refused. Because, even if Germany wants to suppress it, I am afraid it will not be able to suppress it. Germany can ban the sale of machinery and equipment to Bursa and Russia, but what about other countries? The United States, in particular, is afraid that a strong Burussia will appear next to Germany! They will take advantage of this opportunity to export a large amount of machinery and equipment to Burussia, so as to obtain huge profits. At the same time, it can also arm Russia and make it stronger. It's killing two birds with one stone!
So, instead of letting the Americans make this money, let Germany make this money. At the very least, at the present stage, Germany's relations with Brazzaville and Russia are a little better than those between other countries and Brahmania. Of course, through the "Brest Treaty", Germany received a large amount of territory and war reparations from Brest, which made Brent Russia grit its teeth with hatred. There is always a desire to regain lost territory. It's just that Germany's strong combat effectiveness in the war made Burussia dare not act rashly. The current Bu-Russia is not the powerful Brah-Russia that can push Europe sideways. In addition, Germany is the only country in Russia that has access to machinery and other important industrial technologies. This has made Burussia attach great importance to its relations with Germany.
In order to obtain more machinery and equipment, Burussia sold agricultural products and mineral resources to Germany, and did not hesitate to starve the people in the country, even famine every year. From the point of view of the leadership of Burussia, as long as industry develops, Burussia can become truly strong. As for the life or death of the people at the bottom, especially those peasants, it does not matter.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Germany. In the event of war, it would be easy for Germany to win the support of the oppressed peasants. This will be able to play a great role in Germany's defeat of Burussia.
In addition to these two countries, the remaining Austro-Hungarian Empire and island states, although capable of posing a certain threat to Germany. However, the threat is also quite limited. Needless to say, the Austro-Hungarian Empire seems to be powerful, but it is just a foreign power and a middle force. Franz? After the death of Joseph I, Germany will take action against Austria-Hungary. Soon, the country will fall. For Germany, of course, it is not a threat. On the contrary, Germany was able to cut off a piece of fat from Austria-Hungary.
Although the strength of the island nation is not very strong, it is too far away from Germany. Naturally, there is no threat to the core interests of Germany itself. However, it would pose a great threat to German interests in the South Seas and the Pacific. India, in particular, was one of Germany's most important colonies. The Indian Ah San, who had been tamed by the British, was well managed. Germany could exploit them at will and extract as much profit as possible from them. Of course, Qin Tian did not forget the wealth buried in those temples in India. When the Germans occupied India, the first thing they would probably do was to dig up the temples and take out the gold and silver treasures. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave it to the future Indian Ahsan.
Finally, the British Empire, which fled to Canada. The current British Empire is no longer as glorious as it used to be, and can only survive in Canada. If it were not for the protection of the United States, Germany could have annihilated them at any time. It's just that now that there is a war with the United States, Germany is a little weak. The Atlantic barrier is also a relatively big trouble for Germany.
