Berlin, Germany, inside the Supreme High Command. Kaiser Wilhelm I and Crown Prince Wilhelm arrived to hear the Chief of the General Staff, Count Moltke, analyze the situation of the war. To be honest, the current situation of the war is indeed very unfavorable for Germany. The aftermath of the defeat in the naval war has already been generated, and China, through its navy, has already put several army groups into Belgium, a total of millions of elite troops, making it impossible for Germany to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium. In other words, Germany will inevitably fall into the crisis of fighting on two fronts.

"Your Majesty, according to the ascertained number, in addition to the original 14th Army, the Chinese Army in Belgium also includes the 9th, 12th, 13th, and 15th armies, and the total number of men is in the millions. Together with the troops of the Kingdom of Belgium, we had invested more than two million troops on the Western Front, but it was still difficult to ensure victory. Count Moltke said.

Although the German Army invested more than 2 million troops, not all of them were invested in Belgium. They also committed 900,000 troops in France, and are now fighting against the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of France. Of course, the 16th Army, which China deployed in the Kingdom of Spain, was already in operation. Although the German army was very strong in combat, the Spanish Army, which was completely trained by the Chinese Army, was not weak at all. Coupled with the support of the Chinese Army, the two sides were evenly matched in France, and the Germans simply did not have the upper hand, let alone swept across the whole of Western Europe. As a result, Germany actually had just over a million troops in Belgium.

"We have lost the best opportunity to sweep through Western Europe. Chinese reinforcements appeared in Western Europe. If we want to drive them into the sea again, it's impossible. William I looked a little depressed. Before the start of the war. They were ambitious to drive the Chinese out of Europe and put the whole of Europe prostrate at the feet of the Germans. But. The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. The Chinese* army succeeded in teaching the Germans with a bloody lesson how naïve their ideas were.

"Your Excellency, isn't our mobilization complete? After mobilization, the German Army has tens of millions of troops, and if it puts all its strength into it, will it not be able to defeat those Chinese? Crown Prince William asked. After all, at the beginning of the war, the German army strength reached five million. After mobilization. It can reach 10 million people. With Germany's industrial strength, it would have been very easy to arm this 10 million army. The German Army, now fighting on the front line, seems to have only three million men. What are the remaining seven million people doing in the country? If they are thrown into the battlefield, they may be able to change the current unfavorable situation.

"His Royal Highness, the second batch of mobilization has not been completed, and it is expected that it will not be completed until next month. Those armies are still undergoing adaptive training. If you want to go into battle, it will take at least another month. In other words, we still only have five million troops to use. After deducting the losses in the war, our current strength. In fact, the limit has been reached. Count Moltke said. When the German army was in northern Belgium, it was not long before the enemy wiped out hundreds of thousands of people at once? That made the German Army's right hook plan directly end in failure, thus achieving Germany's strategic goals. It made a huge impact. Otherwise, perhaps Germany would have won a phased victory.

Both Kaiser Wilhelm I and Crown Prince Wilhelm did not look good. After all. The current battle situation is too different from what they had expected. So that they could not believe that the heroic and warlike German Army would fight like this.

"Your Excellency, the Earl. Will we be able to make a breakthrough on the Western Front? Kaiser Wilhelm I asked. After all, the Western Front was too close to the German mainland, and if it could not win, the war would probably burn on the German mainland.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff Headquarters proposes to build a defensive line on the Maas River and the Rhine River, and prepare for a long-term confrontation with the Chinese. With more and more Chinese* troops arriving in Europe, it will be very difficult for us to defeat them. The current strategic goal is to inflict heavy losses on the Chinese, so that they have to abandon their intention to defeat us. Therefore, it is most appropriate to build a strong defense line to consume the effective strength of the Chinese. As for fighting a field war with the Chinese, it is indeed somewhat unlikely to defeat them. Count Moltke said.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that the German Army is no match for the Chinese?" Crown Prince William was a little angry. Although, it is now difficult for Germany to defeat the Chinese. However, he believes that this is the reason why the national strength of the two sides is too different. As for the German Army, it is definitely the first-class army in the world, and it must be no worse than the Chinese Army.

"Your Royal Highness, it has been proved in actual combat that the German Army is probably not the opponent of the Chinese in field battles. The Chinese army has powerful armored forces. Their 'Wild Wolf' light tank and 'Leopard' medium tank are much more powerful than our tanks No. 1 and No. 2. Our No. 2 tank is barely able to fight the Chinese' 'Wild Wolf' light tank. If you encounter the Chinese' 'Leopard' medium tanks, there is only a dead end. In field battles, the strong combat effectiveness of the armored units has been proven. In terms of the combat effectiveness of armored forces, there is undoubtedly a big gap between us and the Chinese. Count Moltke said helplessly. Before the war began, they thought that the German Army had completed its preparations for war and could defeat the Chinese in this war. However, after the war began, they found that the gap between them and the Chinese was too large, and the advantages of the German Army, which they originally thought were worthless, were worthless in front of the Chinese Army.

"What about our new tanks? Can it fight against the tanks of the Chinese? Wilhelm I asked. Germany's industrial strength is no worse than that of the Chinese, and the advanced tanks that the Chinese can produce, Germany will certainly be able to produce.

"Our No. 3 tank, in theory, should be able to fight the Chinese' 'Leopard' medium tank. However, the No. 3 tank is still being tested, and if it is to be mass-produced, I am afraid that it will have to wait until next month. In addition, the initial number cannot be compared with the Chinese. On the Western Front, the Chinese already had thousands of Wild Wolf light tanks. According to the information we have received, the two armored corps of the Chinese have also been shipped from China, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Europe next month. At that time, the Chinese will have 800 more "Wild Wolf" light tanks and 400 "Leopard" medium tanks. Count Moltke said.

William I and Crown Prince William couldn't help but gasp, if the Chinese had so many more tanks, they would definitely be able to launch another large-scale attack. At that time, it is very likely that the German Army will be directly sent back home.

"In addition, our infantry is very lacking in anti-tank weapons, and the Chinese use a kind of anti-aircraft gun on the battlefield, which is very powerful. We captured two of these cannons at the front, and the arsenal is working on copying. It is expected that from next month, it will be possible to equip troops in batches. At that time, in the face of Chinese tanks, we will not be at a loss. Count Moltke continued.

William I and Crown Prince William also nodded repeatedly, although copying the weapons of the Chinese is a bit embarrassing, but at this moment, who can care so much! Practicality is the most important thing.

"In the Air Force, the gap between us and the Chinese is also very large. On the Eastern Front, the Chinese threw themselves into the air force in large numbers. There were not only advanced fighters, but also bombers. The kind of bomber that can drop heavy bombs in the sky gave the Russian army a great blow. This is also one of the main reasons for the collapse of the Russian army. Count Moltke continued.

"In terms of fighters and bombers, I would urge several aircraft factories to speed up the pace of research. In terms of the Air Force, we will certainly not be worse than the Chinese. William I said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Count Moltke nodded. In the aviation industry, Germany got off to a late start. However, with the application of a large number of mature industrial construction, the rapid development of the German aviation industry is very fast. In fact, compared with China's aviation industry, the gap between the two sides is not large. It's just that Germany still has a gap in some practical applications. But if Chinese technology can be borrowed, Germany will soon catch up.

"How's the battlefield on the Eastern Front? Will our combined forces with the Russians be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese? Crown Prince William asked.

"On the Eastern Front, both sides are now concentrated in Moscow. The Chinese sent millions of troops to surround Moscow. And in Moscow, together with the Russians, there are two million of them. General Steinmetz proposed the tactic of making the Chinese head run into a bloody mess in Moscow, and the General Staff Headquarters agreed and supported it. If Moscow's defense system can be used to make the Chinese pay a heavy price in Moscow, this will undoubtedly be beneficial to the next war. Count Moltke said. Germany, too, hopes that the Chinese will shed their blood in Moscow.

"This is very good news, the Chinese actually surround two million people with one million people, it is simply too arrogant." They will definitely pay a heavy price in Moscow. Crown Prince William exclaimed excitedly, as if he had seen the heavy losses paid by the Chinese in Moscow. (To be continued......)
