Germany, Berlin, Imperial Palace, Conference Room, Imperial Council is being held.

Emperor Qin Tian, sitting in his place. The military ministers of the empire sat on either side of the long table. The expressions on everyone's faces were more serious, because they all knew that this meeting was very important. It is related to the series of deployments of the empire in the future war.

The German Reich has been the world hegemon since winning the last world war. The identity and status of the overlord brought many benefits to the German Empire. Everyone knows that if the German Empire can also win this war, then the hegemonic position can be maintained forever. However, if Germany were to lose this world war, the consequences would be devastating. I am afraid that the German Empire will not only lose its hegemony, but will also be frantically suppressed by the enemy, and may even be destroyed. Such a price was undoubtedly unacceptable to the military ministers of the German Empire. Therefore, it was natural to hope that the German Empire would win the next war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the empire paid a huge price to win the war in the last world war, which also makes the empire sit in the position of world hegemon for twenty years! During these twenty years, the empire has grown considerably. It can be said that the war dividends have turned the empire upside down in the past two decades. But in the same way, those enemies of the empire don't want the empire to sit on the throne all the time, they are deliberately trying to take away the throne of the empire. Therefore, in the next war, the empire must do its best to defeat all those enemies once again. Only in this way will we be able to retain our supremacy. Or even to keep our country and nation. No matter how big the price is, we must win the next war! Qin Tian's face was solemn.

Qin Tian knew very well that once Germany lost in the war, with the urine of the United States and Burussia, Germany would definitely be unlucky. The Germans will also pay a very heavy price. The United States and Burussia, which have been suppressed by Germany for 20 years, will not let Germany go easily. In order to avoid such a tragedy, Germany had only one way, and that was to do everything possible to win the war. As long as the battle is won, then everything will not be a problem.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Empire will win! The ministers replied one after another. They also knew that this time the empire had no way out, and it had to win the war. Otherwise, the empire is completely finished.

"Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer. From this year, two billion marks will be squeezed out of the Reich's revenues and the revenues received from the colonies for war preparations. Stock up on all kinds of war materials needed in the war, including tanks, armored vehicles, planes, trucks, artillery, and more! Qin Tian said. Qin Tian believed that the next major war would be a longer and more tragic war than the previous world war. Therefore, before the outbreak of war, it is necessary to be fully prepared. Otherwise, it will not be easy for the Empire to win in future wars.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wahit and Chancellor of the Exchequer Earl Poole replied.

Although, two billion marks is not a small amount. However, the German Empire was not out of reach. Last year, the Empire's revenues exceeded 60 billion marks, and the revenues from the colonies also increased to 20 billion marks. Of course, this was mainly because of the increasing international tensions and the fact that Germany had increased its exploitation of the colonies, so that it was able to get so much money.

It's just that although there are many benefits, there are also many places to use money. Therefore, after the rash transfer of 20 billion marks, many of the government's plans had to be stopped or postponed. Next, everyone has to live a hard life. However, this was originally to win the war, and it is better to live a hard life now than to be defeated in the war.

"Field Marshal Manstein, in the event of a war, how many troops can the army mobilize to fight?" Qin Tian asked.

Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein retired from the post of Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff more than ten years ago because of his old age. Field Marshal Ludendorff, who succeeded him, also retired two years earlier. Manstein, who Qin Tian valued, was promoted to the rank of Imperial Field Marshal and became Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff.

Similarly, the Secretary of the Admiralty has also been replaced, Reinhardt? Marshal Scheer also retired a few years ago because of his age. The current Minister of the Navy is Field Marshal Raeder.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Army's existing 12 armies, with the exception of the two armies stationed overseas, will be fully manned within a month. After mobilization, 12 more army groups can be formed within three months. A year later, the Imperial Army could form another 12 armies! Marshal Manstein replied.

The armies that Marshal Manstein spoke of would not be a rabble of rabble to make up for the expansion of the armies of other countries, but elite troops that had been trained. The group armies mobilized later are certainly not as elite as the front-line troops, but they can also be regarded as world-class strong armies. A total of thirty-six armies, which would make the total strength of the German Army jump to 7.2 million men!

If Germany still has a population of just over 50 million, it is obviously impossible to mobilize so many troops. However, just after the end of the last world war, Qin Tian implemented family planning throughout the country. As of now, it is the twentieth year. The little guys who were born in the first place have now grown up to be * people and can fight for the empire. In addition, the war will not break out now, and it will have to wait two or three years. When the time comes, the empire will have more qualified soldiers. The further back we go, as the children who came out of the baby boom grew up, the German Rescue had more soldiers. In this way, Germany in this time and space will not fall into the embarrassment of not having enough troops in the later stages of the war, like the Germany of the Führer.

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, and at his request, the family planning policy of the German Empire was promoted very well. Now, the country's population has exceeded 120 million. And, a large percentage of them are teenagers under the age of twenty. This total population is only less than that of Burussia in the whole of Europe. There are only 40 million more than Germany in Burussia. This gap can be made up entirely by the weaponry and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
