Chapter 904: The Great Power of Germany

Throughout the Cold War, NATO's biggest enemy was the Warsaw Pact bloc opposite, and once a war broke out, Germany bore the brunt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, in order to prevent the flood of red armor, NATO deployed a large number of troops in the Federal Republic of Germany, in the eighties of history, NATO's strength was quite large, once a war broke out in Europe, NATO could deploy and invest 869,000 people in the Federal Republic of Germany at the first time, at the same time, there were 2,685,100 people in other theaters in Europe, and 1,473,000 people in the United States.

In the event of a war, NATO could respond quickly, and at the same time, the GDR and the Czech Republic on the opposite side could immediately commit 887,000 troops. In other theaters of Eastern Europe, 957,300, the Soviet Union retained 2,311,000.

Therefore, once a war breaks out, in fact, the Warsaw Pact does not have a numerical advantage over NATO, but a great advantage of the Warsaw Pact is that the Soviet Union, a huge land country, can continuously send troops over once a war breaks out! For example, when it comes to the army alone, the Warsaw Pact can invest 229 divisions in wartime, and NATO can invest 134 divisions.

Although NATO's divisions are larger, the Warsaw Pact's ordinary infantry divisions also have powerful tank forces. For example, in terms of tanks alone, NATO has a total of 31,200 tanks, and the Warsaw Pact has a total of 68,700.

However, this is historical. And now, with Andrei's crossing, history has changed a lot. In the Middle East, the United States has lost a large number of troops, and many of these troops have been transferred from Europe.

At the same time, because of the weakening of the United States, there have always been members of the US Congress who have expressed strong support for their military to commit suicide, and they want to continuously reduce the military to maintain the US economy.

Originally, the United States stationed 60,000 troops in Germany, but now, in Germany, the United States has such a unit as the 1st Panzer Division! This is a fully equipped division of the United States, with more than 300 main battle tanks, and in the event of a war, this armored division with a total of 17,000 men can resist the attack of a main tank army of the Warsaw Pact.

In addition, there are only two returnee divisions left, which is a reinforcement strategy of the US Army: the returnee units will have two sets of the same combat equipment, one in the homeland and one in the equipment pre-storage warehouse in West Germany, and if something happens, the local troops will airlift personnel to West Germany to receive the equipment for operation. However, now these two divisions are empty shelves and do not have any personnel.

In order to completely control the whole of Germany, the 1st Panzer Division was far from enough.

Since NATO is under a lot of pressure in Europe, it is not so harsh on the German rearmament army, anyway, Germany has a more thorough reflection on World War II and will no longer have crazy thoughts of global domination.

In order to confront the Soviet Union, Germany's military strength is quite strong, especially after France withdrew from NATO in 1966, the German army is more important in the defense of Western Europe, it can be said that it is a core country, and countries like Italy and Belgium are playing soy sauce.

It can be said that in the event of another war, the first echelon that the Western world can rely on is Germany and the United States, and even Britain and France can be regarded as the second echelon!

Germany's military size is also quite strong, and now, West Germany has nearly 500,000 troops, 150,000 civilians, and the whole country is mobilized within 48 hours.

And up to now, West Germany has more than 1,000 advanced tanks like the Leopard 2, more than 1,000 old Leopard 1 tanks, more than 200 Tornado, and more than 170 F4s, which can be said to be quite strong in addition to the United States and the Soviet Union!

Originally, it was intended to support Germany to confront the Soviet Union, but now, I don't know how to do it, I actually got the United States and Germany to turn against each other!

At this moment, the United States immediately found that it was not enough to deal with these armed forces of West Germany for the time being! In particular, the West German Wehrmacht now does not have any good opinion of the US military, and a US battalion went to the West German special forces station to disarm, but was counterattacked by others, and several people died, and in the end the mission was not completed.

The United States sent the British army to the German air base, and as a result, it was even more against the sky, a crazy German Tornado fighter destroyed four British Challenger tanks and killed two A-10s!

These facts show that if you want to bring the German army to its knees, you must have more NATO troops!

Fortunately, although the United States does not have many troops, there are still quite a few armies of the servant countries! And now, in the NATO command, Commander-in-Chief Bernard has a gloomy face.

In the past two days, the situation in Germany has been rapidly reversed, and in a situation that no one expected, Germany has a faint intention to part ways with NATO.

It's unimaginable!

"The Pentagon's opinion is that under the pretext of conducting military exercises, let us send a total of 400,000 troops from Britain, Italy, Spain, and other countries to Germany to conduct military exercises, and then control the German army and all key departments in Germany in one fell swoop, and then extinguish the signs of this rebellion of the German Wehrmacht." The deputy on the side, Major General Ronald H. Griffiths, commander of the 1st Division, said.

"However, such a plan does not fit in with our current reality at all." John, the commander of the British garrison on the side, said: "Now, the Wehrmacht has signs of instability, and if we hold exercises like this again, it will simply tell the Germans that we are going to do it, and they will definitely not sit still!" ”

Originally, they didn't expect the Germans to be so arrogant, but now, Hans punched Eagle Sauce and kicked Niu Niu, which made them have to be on guard.

Those Pentagon staff officers, who have not yet come to Germany, do not know how serious the situation is now!

"Yes, we can't wait for our exercises to start at all, and the East German army on the opposite side is afraid that they will come over and help their compatriots!" Bernard said coldly: "We have to revise the plan, we have to hurry!" Using our existing forces, we will take control of Germany first, we will not be able to wait that long! ”

Be quick! Use the existing forces and take control of the German army! This plan sounds a bit risky, you know, the current NATO troops in Germany, the United States is less than 20,000, the United Kingdom 20,000, and the Netherlands is about 3,500 and Belgium is about 2,000.

"I have a solution." Suddenly, John's mind spun around and he came up with a solution: "How about we activate the war alarm?" (To be continued.) )
