The Habsburgs did not expect that such a mouth would be let go too much, the water spilled, the words spoken, there was no way to recycle, so they could only be resigned, from the very beginning, it may be tens of thousands of applications, and later, more and more, some are almost the migration of the whole family, which is a sad thing for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and in the end, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still can't support it, the population not only represents the most basic labor unit, but also with the army, industry, Agriculture and many other aspects are closely related, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is huge, with an average population of only 78 people per square kilometer, and there are so many fewer people that there is no way to start work in many places.

As a last resort, Austria-Hungary had to vaguely mention it to Germany, and Germany did not expect this, he was only targeting 13 million Germans in Austria-Hungary at the beginning, but now the population of Germany, from more than 60 million at the beginning of the war, to now, when the war enters its fourth year, under the efforts of all parties, the population has increased by 12 million, and Austria-Hungary has supported 7 million, of which only one-third are Germans. The rest are almost all the mainstream ethnic groups of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even including some Hungarians, and the remaining 5 million are Germans who have returned from all over the world and some colonies naturalized, although for Germany, this is not a cure for the root cause, to some extent, there will be a series of problems in the future, but it seems that Germany can't take care of it, as long as these problems can be solved, these 12 million represent more than 1.2 million mobilization capacity, as well as those colonies and Nanyang natives supported by China, they are direct soldiers, Their ethnic spouses did not come, so the number of troops is expected to increase by at least 2.5 million.

The Austro-Crarian Empire, with a population of more than 50 million, suddenly lost 7 million people, and there are 4 million people who are not of Germanic ethnicity, if all the Germanic people run away, wouldn't a third of the population be gone, let alone others to keep up, maybe half, or even two-thirds of the population will disappear, this is a matter of life and death, no wonder the Austro-Hungarian Empire reacted so much.

However, such a result has been beyond Germany's expectations, in Germany's view, as long as the German maintainer is strong, the remaining nearly 10 million Germans to join Germany, basically there is not much problem, Austria-Hungary's concerns are only in the non-Germanic people, for the Germans, if they really want to leave, Austria-Hungary has no ability and no position to interfere, in this way, from Austria-Hungary may get 17 million, or even close to 20 million people, This part of the population and the naturalized population around the world together, maybe it will make the population of Germany more than 90 million, or even close to 100 million, which is a huge growth, and Germany's biggest shortcoming, may be made up at this time.

It was only in the midst of the European war that Germany really realized that the huge role of population, the terrible thing about Russia, is not that it has industry, it has no industry, However, a population of 170 million, equivalent to the population of Britain, France and Germany combined, is enough to determine his status, not to mention China, with a population of more than 600 million, just play casually, there will be tens of millions, or even more soldiers, and even more normal transfers, there may be an army of 60 million people, a huge population, unlimited possibilities for owners, tens of millions, or even twenty or thirty million troops, the thought will make the scalp numb, if China is in the location of Russia, close to Europe, not to mention any achievements of industry, just such a few hundred million people, it is terrible enough.

For this reason, they not only won the population from Belgium and other bordering countries, they began to do everything possible to promote the return of Germans around the world, even including the United States, therefore, the ability to reduce intelligence gathering is also not hesitating, of course, some really important channels are impossible, after all, Germans are so obvious, no matter how bold the United States is, it is impossible to put some top-secret things in front of them, what Germany collects through Germans is more of some global information, such as commodity information, The supply of materials and the production of factories are very important, but they must be in a certain amount to be effective, and even the results of analysis can only be used as a supplement to a certain strategy and the basis for determining a certain plan, and the really important real-time information is carried out through other channels.

However, Germany pays more attention to the population than collecting these things, after all, it is not Germany that independently resists the Entente, and now that China has joined the war, and is essentially facing the United States in the Pacific, the biggest confrontation with the United States in the future will not be Germany, but China, and there is no urgency for intelligence gathering in the United States.

As far as population growth is concerned, Germany's population growth this time is quite violent, Germany itself has a population of more than 60 million, almost a fifth of the increase, even if it is placed in Germany, how closely arranged, there are problems, but fortunately, the new occupation of Russia's huge territory, 12 million new population, distributed over there, is equal to only 12 people per square kilometer, this is not a big problem, the original remaining cities and villages, after a simple adjustment, will become their new home, It's a good fit.

Poland, Ukraine and the vicinity of Baku, this area, basically in the middle dimension, even close to the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, where has always been a more developed agricultural area, plus now Germany's agriculture, most of it is handed over to China, this part of the population on the one hand is to enrich the basic population, the other is to do some management and handover work, these are the most basic, for these new German nationals, it is also a more respectful and soothing performance.

Although it is said that the normal ratio of the population to 10:1 in the army, these new ethnic groups, unless it is a matter of life and death, will not be casually transferred, except for some who strongly want to join the army, and the rest can only exist as reserves.

After all, the heritage is the heritage, these population growth, for Germany has great benefits, to a certain extent, to give the new ethnic groups a certain advantage, increase the degree of racial awareness and belonging, this is also a good choice, for this to pay a little bit of the current price, it is still acceptable.

These demographic things are not directly related to Moltke, but the population is related to the war potential, not to mention the increased population, most of them are proficient in German, that is, those natives in Southeast Asia, just urgently assault some everyday language, the rest are either Germanic people, German is the mother tongue for them, or the Austro-Hungarian people who know German, in short, there is no need to popularize culture.

But Moltke still felt comfortable, China's entry into the war, all of a sudden, made Germany completely different, the appearance of submarines and the emperor-level raid on the United States, so that the United States' support for Europe is weakening, to a certain extent, but also let the combat effectiveness of the European dispatch army that should have been improved weakened to a certain extent, in order to cope with the possible increase in the combat effectiveness of the European dispatch army, Germany, with the support of China, strengthened its armament, one increase and one decrease, plus after winning the sea supremacy, Germany shelled the Bordeaux area, In 1915, Germany, which was already slightly on the defensive, took the initiative to attack, and in the three months from March to June, it annihilated a total of 1.97 million Allied troops, and its own damage was only 220,000, completing a more disparity in numbers than Germany before, and gaining an advantage on the battlefield.

Germany proved one thing in the real war meeting, that is, not to fight for a place to the death, as much as possible to annihilate the other party's living forces, a country's war potential, is always limited, if the other side consumes enough living forces, it will achieve the goal, according to the current calculation, Germany and their attrition ratio has been continued at 4:1, Germany currently has only 75 million people, and the Entente can not be compared, but France is about to be crippled, Britain is almost the same, as for Russia, Germany did not take him seriously at all, as long as it stepped up its efforts and planned several more large-scale attacks, to ensure that their losses would be raised to a higher level, and only Britain and France could withdraw from the war, then the United States would definitely be unable to support it alone.

In the German General Staff, there is a whole series of studies on the United States, including the reasons for the United States' participation in the European theater, as well as the question of its participation; although Germany did not foresee that the United States would join the European theater, and suffered a little loss in the early stage of the United States' participation, it continued to regard the United States as its biggest enemy, until China entered the war. Given the closeness of Germany and China, knowing the strength of China, I really did not expect that China would compete with the United States.

After all, between the United States and Germany, there is only an Atlantic Ocean, but between China and the United States, there is a vast Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world, but this width and magnitude are absolutely incomparable, the Pacific Ocean occupies 46% of the entire world's oceans, occupies nearly one-third of the entire earth's surface area, and the Atlantic Ocean is completely different.

But in fact, China, which is located in Asia, at most adds a little military support to Germany, and at most manages logistics, but I did not expect that China is so powerful that it directly attracts the attention of the United States and confronts the United States, which almost directly changes the situation on the battlefield, and even makes most of the information collected by Germany useless.
