In terms of weapons, even after suffering heavy losses in the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States still had 9 battleships, 4 aircraft carriers, more than 6,000 combat aircraft, and more than 5,000 tanks and armored vehicles at the end of 1941. As for the potential production capacity, it can be seen from the main industrial data of the United States in 1941, the total industrial output value of the United States reached 110 billion US dollars in 1941, the crude steel output exceeded 90 million tons, and the oil output was close to 200 million tons, accounting for nearly seventy percent of the whole shijie (more than eighty percent in history, it is said that the United States sold resources much more ruthlessly than we did)

What's even more terrifying is that the United States does not have any natural resources dependent on imports, as long as the production capacity is released, all mineral resources are enough to fully meet the civilian needs of the war and even during the war, which is unique in shijie, and natural rubber, pig bristles and other strategically important agricultural and sideline products, although the United States has relied on imports in the past, but with its super industrial strength and rich oil resources, relying on the petrochemical industry to produce a sufficient number of substitutes can be said to be no difficulty, of course, the performance will be a little worse

In second place is Germany, which is now sweeping Western Europe, although its territory is small, but with the successive victories in the European war, Germany's strategic depth has greatly expanded, even if not counting the client states and puppet states, but the racist ideology promoted by the Nazis has allowed it to use the manpower of the Czechs, which they occupied earlier and are more culturally close, and Austria, which is originally the same people, to strengthen its army. It was more than 80 million, so the size of the army and the mobilization capacity were greatly limited, so although the German army swept through Western Europe, Germany's maximum mobilization power (only referring to the theoretical value) was still about the same as it was at the beginning of the war.

However, because Germany was the first to industrialize, it was able to maintain the highest ratio of soldiers to civilians, so the maximum mobilization force still reached 15 million, and with the successive victories on the battlefield and the unprecedented prosperity of the domestic economy, the rule of the mustache in Germany became more and more secure, so that the number of troops that could actually be mobilized (Note 1) increased rapidly, as evidenced by the fact that Germany now has a total army of 6 million. At the end of 1941, this number was second only to China (if you don't count the engineering and railway troops). In fact, the total number of Chinese combat troops was not as good as that of Germany now. ), a little more than in the USSR

In terms of jishu weapons, Germany has a clear advantage, although it is still a one-shift system in China (Note 2). However, the promotion of advanced production management systems and various simplified processes (such as the popularization of stamping parts) has greatly improved the utilization rate of factory equipment. This has led to a significant increase in the production of military products. Coupled with the fact that the German army was invincible in the Western European theater and its losses were relatively small, the total amount increased extremely rapidly.

At the end of 1941. Germany already has a total of more than 20,000 combat aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, and more than 15,000 self-propelled guns (including assault guns), all of which are shijie first, but the German navy is relatively cold, although it has a submarine force that is the first in terms of quantity and quality, but there are only 6 capital ships, and 2 aircraft carriers are still in distant China, and the firepower of 2 battle cruisers is not enough to confront the battleships head-on. In the face of the powerful American Atlantic Fleet and the British Royal Navy, which still has three battleships (including two battleships purchased from the United States) available and the total tonnage of the ships far superior to that of Germany, the strength is still at an absolute disadvantage, especially at this time the two German Bismarck-class battleships are still on the slipway for repair

If it had not been for the inevitable westward movement of the U.S. Navy after the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, Germany would have been completely blocked by the enemy's sea lanes, as it had done in the early days of the European War. However, now that the US Navy has been forced to divide its forces, and Germany has already taken the lead in occupying the Faroe Islands and other important islands, relying on the large number of airfields on the islands and the submarine force of Shijie No. 1, it can still maneuver with the US and British navies

In any case, with Germany's current strength, there is still no doubt about ranking second in Shijie, and Germany's developed industry is naturally indispensable, although Germany is not yet able to make good use of the industrial capacity of the occupied area, but at least it can still get money and resources from the occupied area, so the expansion of the territory still greatly enhances Germany's strength, as for the industry itself, Germany + the Czech Republic already has a great production capacity, provided that it is not compared with the BT of the United States.

In 1941, including the occupied areas, Germany's total industrial output value was about 42 billion US dollars, and the crude steel output was more than 40 million tons, all of which were the second in Shijie, and the number and quality of machine tools were even more Shijie, and the biggest difference from history was that this time and space was discovered in advance because of the early discovery of a large number of small and medium-sized oil fields in Western Europe (mainly Germany and France), so that the oil production of Germany and its occupied areas was much more than the same period in history, and in 1941, the oil production of Germany alone exceeded 10 million tons. If you count the occupation zone, it will reach more than 20 million tons, plus the oil of Germany's client countries Romania and Northern Europe, the total amount of oil obtained by Germany in 1941 was as high as 30 million tons, although this amount is far from being comparable with the United States, but at least it is more than enough to meet the needs of the German army, you must know that when Germany occupies the largest territory in history, even if you add coal-to-liquid and imported crude oil, it can only obtain more than 5 million tons a year, but the German army at that time still did not have a crisis of oil shortage

In addition, due to the entry of Spain and Portugal, tungsten mines in the Pyrenees were fully developed decades earlier, and Germany obtained more than 3,000 tons of tungsten in 1941, more than the total annual production of the United States (although the United States could also obtain 2,000 tons from Bolivia) and several times that of the Soviet Union, which gave Germany enough tungsten for armor and armor-piercing shells.

Note 1: In this regard, the Soviet Union has great institutional advantages, and it does not need to be stimulated by the encouragement of victory or the crisis of the collapse of the country, it can maximize the mobilization capacity, and even the maximum mobilization ratio is much higher than that of the capitalist powers with the same degree of industrialization, even the current China, because the unification of the country has not been long ago, cannot be compared with the Soviet Union for the time being, but the Chinese population base is there

Note 2: Historically, Germany fully transformed into a wartime system later than the United States, and it was too late at that time, because of the butterfly effect caused by Hu Weidong's crossing, Germany began general mobilization after entering a state of war with the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time, but at present, the mustache still gives priority to ensuring the living standards of the people at home (to be continued......
