"The time has come to decide the fate of the Empire. We must not continue to tolerate Britain and France breaking the post-war European landscape and once again becoming a serious threat to the Reich in the West. In order not to repeat the situation on the eve of the last great war, we must fight a preventive war to ensure the security of the Empire! Germany's new Chancellor Ekmann's speech in the Reichstag was immediately drowned out in a frenzy of cheers.

After learning that a breakthrough had been made in the research of nuclear bombs, and that radar, guided missiles, and other sharp weapons of naval warfare had also come out of the real room and began to equip the troops, Qing Ying made up his mind to fight this war. The last battle only allowed Germany to go global, and a fight was inevitable if it was to avoid the hostility and harassment of the original club members. It is undoubtedly the best choice to wage war while the United States has not yet completely emerged from the quagmire of economic crisis than to postpone time. Red Russia, which brazenly launched the Soviet-Finnish War and brutally annexed the three Baltic states and Poland, was not still touted as a god in the main theme of the Celestial Empire in later generations?

As before the outbreak of the last World War, the German government, determined to use force, began to create a war atmosphere at home, and at the same time withdrew trade with Britain and the United States, and systematically redirected this production capacity to areas that served the war effort. Berlin's ties with Vienna, Rome, and Istanbul were abruptly intensified in order to be able to consolidate the forces of these allies in wartime; After 24 years, the haze of war is so real that it hangs over Europe.

"As soon as the war begins, the Austro-Hungarian army should send no less than 20 divisions and 1 air corps to the German-French theater under the command and leadership of the German General Staff and the Luftwaffe. The Italian Army should attack at the western foot of the Alps with no less than 25 divisions. Pin down part of the French army in this area. "At the exchange meeting of the military of the Allied countries. Manstein, who served as the First Quartermaster Minister, put forward Berlin's opinion on behalf of the German army. After some rigorous inference and research. His strategy of breaking through the Ardennes forest was eventually adopted by Ludendorff, who completely revised the established plan of the German Army in accordance with this strategy. There is nothing more exciting than the fact that he is now so complacent that he can single-handedly turn the wheel of the chariot of the entire empire and create a new field of land warfare.

"In the African theater, Italy and Austria-Hungary should put a force into North Africa in order to attack Algeria, Sudan and other British and French colonies in Africa. With the Mediterranean under our control, this expeditionary legion can be supplied by sea. In the face of a group of foreign generals, Manstein, who was already vaguely dominant, continued. Despite the fact that he came from a traditional army background. But the naval power in the Mediterranean was already unmistakably clear: in order to defend against the German threat on land, France had not built ships above the cruiser level since 1914, and had devoted all its resources and financial resources to land defense. Now that France can defend its coastline with mines and shore artillery, it is already a fluke, and it is obviously impossible to organize the transportation of troops by the Allies in the Mediterranean!

The main force of the Austro-Hungarian Army and Air Force was to set out from the plains of Mesopotamia with the Ottoman army to carry out an expedition across Persia to India. Although the western border of Persia is surrounded by the Gros Mountains as a natural barrier, and its territory is dominated by highland and mountainous terrain, the Austro-Hungarian Army's large number of T-25 and LT-35 tanks were designed with this combat mission in mind, and their reliability, cross-country performance and range are excellent, and they are fully adapted to combat on the Persian plateau. Although we are not sure whether Britain will be fatally dealt by the loss of India. But the removal of the crown's brightest diamond is clearly the most inspiring motivation for our 2,000-kilometre expedition from Baghdad. Manstein smiled. The words are full of confidence in the future of the war: "As for the Kingdom of Persia, we can directly follow the example of Belgium in 1913 and demand that it get out of the way." If they dare to refuse, then we don't mind destroying this force. ”

The satellite states did not have much objection to the strategy proposed by Manstein on behalf of the German military. Austria-Hungary, as one of the main forces of the Central Powers, naturally had to contribute to Germany's main battlefield on the Western Front without war in the East, and leaving Africa to it and Italy to attack would also ensure that this land would not be invaded by the cultural invasion of the Turkish Akbars. Although there is no right or wrong in the religious realm between Christianity and Islam, the former has led the industrial revolution for nearly two hundred years, proving that they are more suitable than the latter's teachings to advance the productive forces of humanity as a whole. Moreover, Africa has been poor for a long time, which provides a breeding ground for extremist Islamists. Qing Ying also hoped that in the future, there would be fewer riots in the areas under his control, and it would naturally become his best choice to exclude Akbar's forces from Africa.

In the end, Germany also offered another consolation to the Turks, who had failed to restore their former great territory, by acquiescing to their influence in Persia in the east. Two centuries ago, Suleiman, the greatest Sultan in Ottoman history, made an unsuccessful attempt to conquer Persia, a tempting prospect for the decision-makers in Tokkapi's palace. Anyway, Persia is also a member of the Green Sect camp, which will not cause the spread of Akbar's power, and as for the chaos between the Sunni and Shia factions, it is not within the attention of Qingying.

What made Qingying feel a little unexpected was that Japan, which was originally used to contain the United States in his strategy, actually dropped the chain at a critical moment. Japanese Prime Minister Minoru Saito, who formed a cabinet as a navy general, did not follow the will of Berlin, which supported him behind him, but sent a very tactful but firm telegram to German Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Nureit, saying that Japan had been deeply damaged by the economic crisis and its livelihood was withering, and that it was really unable to immediately act with the powerful Germany. As soon as the economy recovers slightly, Japan will immediately fulfill its obligations under the alliance.

Faced with the sudden sudden stop and brake of the Japanese in front of the gate of the war, Qingying, who was angry, found that he had no suitable means to force him to comply. At present, Japan still has a great effect on Germany's strategy, and it is obviously an unwise choice to overshoot it. After thinking about it carefully, Qingying also understood the current Japanese considerations: With Germany, a leading bird, fighting with the Americans, Japan, whose economic and industrial strength was inferior to that of the same period in history, was obviously not in a hurry to plunge into the war so quickly. Thirty years ago, Britain regarded Japan as its most advantageous weapon, and fought with Russia in the Far East. And now, Japan is not without the idea of giving back to the other in the same way. By virtue of its unique position in the western Pacific, Japan has every reason to wait and see for a while and then act on the situation of the war.

After several days of deliberation with government officials, Qingying also pinched his nose and admitted to Japan's patrol. Even if Japan does not enter the war at the first time, its fleet of 10 capital ships and 5 regular air carriers is itself a powerful deterrent; In the face of this ever-present threat, it will be difficult for the United States to further transfer eight capital ships and three aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet to the Atlantic Ocean for operations. And since there have always been sharp contradictions between the two close neighbors, Kiyoying is not worried about her final choice between Germany and the United States; When Germany wins victory in Europe, Japan, which sees an opportunity, will inevitably pounce on the United States and bite the United States!

In order to ensure that Germany could have a completely stable East in the event of war, the Southern Russian forces ruled by his cheap son-in-law Alexei were the first to raise their combat readiness level, thus drawing the attention of the Red Russian government to the Don River. After more than ten years of aid, the South Russian army commanded by Denikin already has quite a good strength: a large number of second-line equipment that has withdrawn from the German army has been received by this force, and this undoubtedly makes its army surpass Siberia under the training of German instructors and become the number one strong enemy that threatens the Soviet Russian regime. Once there was any change in the southern Russian military, Soviet Russia, whose current industrial strength was only equal to that of Italy, would no longer have any thoughts of looking westward, and Germany would be able to withdraw troops on the eastern frontier to a minimum.

Seeing that the deployment of all parties had been completed, Qingying greatly accelerated the pace of the war. On April 8, 1937, Germany issued a very stern proclamation to France, demanding that it immediately cease its intervention in the Spanish Civil War, and at the same time stop the expansion of its army, so as to ensure that the size of its army and technical equipment will return to the limits of the previous armistice and peace treaty. If France continues to pass the buck, Germany will see it as an act of denial of the outcome of the European war and will "take countermeasures in accordance with its own interests." In the case of the United Kingdom, Germany also demanded full disclosure of its plans to build ships in the post-treaty period, and to ensure that the size of its navy would remain within the framework of the agreement reached between the two countries.

As the previous tensions had been enveloped long enough, Britain and France understood that the storm itself was coming to an end in the face of this sudden increase in Germany's attitude. In order to gain more time to perfect their preparations, they played the trick of long-sleeved dancing in the diplomatic arena as always; However, Germany did not hesitate as before, and on May 7 issued a harsh ultimatum to France with a deadline of 48 hours to reply, and began to mobilize to France. A new war has also opened its long-closed curtain. (To be continued......)
