After the outbreak of the war, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's political stance shifted from moderate to hardline, especially after entering 2002, Schroeder and his ruling coalition began to show a clear desire to rebuild the Iron Cross. Obviously, in a world war, any country that remains neutral has no right to gain any benefits in the division of interests after the war, and Germany itself is a member of NATO, and abandoning NATO is tantamount to self-harm, so the only route that Germany can choose is to follow the United States in this world war and try to gain greater interests and international influence after the war.

In order to achieve this, Germany would have to show sufficient strength in the war, and perhaps it would not be realistic to catch up with the United States, but it could still be done by playing a pivotal role. Germany has unveiled its ambitious expansion plan to rebuild the Iron Cross, if not more than five million conscripts like during the Nazi era, but more than a million good and well-trained German soldiers can still be counted on, and even the American army has its hope that the well-equipped and military-literate Bundeswehr can help the United States achieve victory on more battlefields.

However, when Germany's expansion plan for the Iron Cross had not yet been fully launched, and the recruitment and training of new recruits were still in progress, it was hit by the tortoiseshell plan initiated by the Chinese. The bombing of the industrial area of Munich launched by the fire-chasing bombers was only the beginning of the bombing. The Chinese Air Force in Europe launched a larger-scale air attack, striking fiercely at military installations, industrial facilities, and even civilian facilities such as water and electricity throughout Germany.

Although Germany has also built a relatively complete air defense network, it is still weak and weak in the face of the intensity of the attack of the Chinese air force in Europe. China dispatched J-20 Weilong stealth fighters and H-10 fire-chasing stealth bombers to carry out point-point strikes with weapons first, knocking out the German air defense radar and anti-aircraft missile positions, and the German command and communication system was also severely damaged and interfered with, followed by a large number of Chinese fighters and bombers indiscriminately bombing Germany.

Although the Germans took off a lot of Tornado and F-16s (which were transferred to the Germans by the U.S. military) to intercept them, they had little effect in the face of the larger Chinese Air Force. U.S. troops in Germany also participated in the counterattack, but U.S. troops in Germany were the first to be attacked, and in the case of no choice, NATO European Command had to withdraw U.S. troops in Germany and transfer them to Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and France.

At the beginning of the war, Germany had no idea that the Chinese army had grown to such a point that Germany would be like this with a flick of its fingers. The NATO Command has continuously dispatched fighters from the United States, Britain, France and other countries to Germany to support the German army, but the strength of China's PLA Air Force in Europe is too strong to directly overwhelm the forces deployed by NATO in Europe.

When the country was in flames, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder made a phone call to US President George W. Bush: "If reinforcements cannot save Germany, then Germany will no longer be able to help its allies with tanks and planes, but will be a piece of rubble!" ”

After Germany was attacked, the Chinese Air Force in Europe began to carry out air strikes of different ranges against the surrounding Poland, Hungary, Italy, France, etc., and the strategic intention of the Chinese was already quite obvious at this time, to destroy the industrial production capacity of European countries and to hit the war potential of European NATO countries to the greatest extent.

George W. Bush could only instruct: "A Europe that cannot produce guns, tanks and planes is no different from us finding a group of African indigenous countries, we cannot let the Chinese realize their intentions so lightly, Europe must be saved!" ”

As a result, the mighty "European Rescue Plan" was put on the agenda, which was proposed by the US Department of Defense and was mainly divided into two parts: one is to transfer US fighter planes to join the battle to protect the European sky, and the other is to integrate the combat forces of the armies of various European countries, and send more US ground troops, and the European allies led by the United States will launch an offensive from the land to defeat Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, so as to completely seize the stronghold of the Chinese air force in Europe. in order to achieve the plan to save Europe.

A European air war no less than the British air war during World War II began, even if there are many disadvantages in technology, but as the United States and Europe continue to increase, the Chinese's "tortoiseshell operation" has also begun to become difficult, the bombing of European industrial capacity at the beginning basically did not meet any decent opponents, to the later stage of the operation, hundreds of fighters on both sides to catch each other, Chinese bombers continue to be shot down by European and American fighters who are frantically resisting.

There is no doubt that Operation Tortoiseshell was also very effective. Although the full-scale bombing of Germany promoted the Germans to join the army to protect their country, the continuous destruction of military factories made it impossible for the German Ministry of Defense to equip even the newly recruited soldiers with their weapons.

In order to solve this problem, Germany even considered building a reinforced underground arsenal to manufacture weapons for the troops. However, light weapons alone are certainly not enough, and the equipment such as armed helicopters, main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns and mecha required for land warfare is even more lacking in Germany, even if Germany gives the soldiers a gun, but without main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, they are like a flock of lambs on the battlefield, and will be driven and eliminated by the Chinese army armed to the teeth.

The pre-war German forces had been largely sent to the battlefield in Czechoslovakia, and the Czechoslovakians showed exceptional resistance. Although the German army did not suffer any defeat, the stalemate on the battlefield was bad news for NATO, because in the process of the stalemate, the Chinese air force continued to destroy the military potential and industrial capacity of European countries.

The trouble caused by the war is not only these, the oil in the Middle East has been completely controlled in the hands of the Chinese, the main energy sources on the NATO side have become the Gulf of Mexico, Canada and North Sea oil, obviously these oil and gas resources can not meet the demand, especially Europe is facing such a fierce war, there are hundreds of millions of people who need to use energy, Germany after a month of war in Czechoslovakia, its fuel has encountered great difficulties like World War II.

The Chinese bombed Germany's strategic oil reserves, causing Germany's oil reserves to plummet. North Sea oil production is not so sufficient, and even if it were to supply Germany in full, it would be overstretched. On the battlefield, due to the lack of fuel, the German armored brigades were slow to make progress and could not keep up with the tactical requirements, and the fuel supply of the German residents in the rear had begun to be limited, which made the German residents complain.

The situation in the United States is definitely not much better than that of Germany, which has a much larger military force and needs fuel. Moreover, the U.S. military is also deployed all over the world, and the requirements for fuel delivery are not small. For the time being, the fuel reserves of the United States are not a problem, but in recent days, oil tankers transported by the United States to Japan have been repeatedly attacked by Chinese submarines. An important reason why the United States has repeatedly delayed its bombing program against the Chinese mainland is that it is difficult for the United States to ensure that it will have enough fuel to fight after the outbreak of war. In this regard, Japan is also a drag on the United States, because Japan, as an economic power and a non-energy country, consumes huge amounts of fuel.

The severance of the Indian and South China Sea routes has left Japan's main trade to cross the Pacific, importing enough resources from the United States, and threatening these seas by China's submarine forces. The U.S. Seventh Fleet was also greatly affected by this, and the delivery of supplies and weapons became a problem.

The Atlantic routes between Europe and the Americas are still largely open, and although China also has submarine activity here, it is not as rampant as in the western Pacific. But the economic blow of the war to many European countries is huge, European countries are very dependent on trade, especially the largest trading partner of many countries is China, after the hostility suddenly lost these trade, making them very sad, thousands of people are unemployed, and Westerners have no deposit habits, just can't get by.

In response to this situation, NATO has formulated a unified economic plan beyond the military, including internal tax exemption, providing convenient conditions, and even material rationing, hoping to make up for the economic losses of these countries with more internal economic trade, so as to support NATO to continue the war, and the Americans also have bad intentions, they hope that this internal economic plan can continue forever, because just like China, the largest of the SCO economies, has the most profits, the United States will also benefit from this internal economy.

Of course, in order for the war to continue, the Americans need to further open up shipping routes and obtain resources, especially oil resources. If you can't quit your dependence on Middle Eastern oil, you have to quit it, because the Americans themselves can't see the possibility of returning to the Middle East in the short term. However, there are still other places in the world that produce oil, such as South America, such as the Gulf of Guinea.

Chavez, an anti-American fighter, is very close to China, and he can knock it out, Nigeria has China's overseas bases, and there is also an excuse. If Venezuelan and Nigeria's oil can be controlled, it will greatly alleviate the oil shortage caused by the loss of Middle East oil for NATO.

However, there are also many people who oppose such a hasty opening up of a new battlefield, and now the US military is already fighting a little difficult to take care of, and if the war is fought from the west coast of Africa and South America, the Americans may really not have to be defeated by the Chinese, and they will bring themselves down.
