At the Imperial Council, Long Yufei and the military and political officials of the empire analyzed various situations that might arise in the middle of the war. In the end, it was concluded that because the empire was too far away from Europe, the worst result was that the initial stage of the war was very unfavorable to the empire. However, as the Empire's war planes kick in, the Empire's combat power will gradually be invested in Europe, which will allow the Empire to reverse the situation and win the final victory.

That is, no matter how the Germans struggled, there was no doubt that they would lose the war. Of course, the Empire cannot be complacent because of this, and the Empire needs to continue to work hard. Winning this war at the lowest cost is what the Empire is pursuing.

After coming to the conclusion that the empire would win the final victory no matter what, the leaders of the civilian faction were all happy. Originally, they had some resistance to war. But now, they are all starting to support this war with all their might. After all, even civilian officials want the empire to win battles, so that they can ensure that the empire will always be strong.

"Is the specific battle plan done by the General Staff?" Long Yufei asked.

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has come up with a specific battle plan. However, the plan has not yet been named, please name it! Admiral Liu Zhongming said. The operational plans submitted by the General Staff often have their own names, that is, code names. For example, the naming of a world war related to the fate of the empire should naturally be named by the emperor Long Yufei himself.

Long Yufei pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "This war is the last large-scale war that the empire will fight in the future. I hope. From this war onwards, the world hegemony of the empire will no longer be threatened. There will be no need to fight such a large-scale war again. So, this battle plan. I named it 'Project Zhige'. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Liu Zhongming nodded. 'Zhige Project', this is undoubtedly an extremely meaningful name. It is also the goal that the military and political officials of the empire strive for. The empire hopes to completely consolidate the empire's world hegemony with the next world war, and no country in the world has the strength to challenge the empire's hegemony anymore. In that case, there would be no more large-scale wars.

"Now, let's introduce this plan!" Long Yufei said. He had already seen the draft plan in general before. However, there are still many people who do not know what the plan is about. In particular, senior officials of the civilian faction know little about this.

"陛xià." The 'Zhige Plan' was divided into four areas, including the Empire's army, navy, and air force, as well as the Empire's allies. First of all, the Imperial Army would be the main force to defeat Germany and many of the Holy Alliance powers. At present, the Imperial Army has a total of 18 army groups, that is, 3.6 million combat units. If the war starts, within three months we will mobilize another 12 army groups for the war. Within half a year, we will be able to put into operation 50 new units of army groups. The strength of fifty armies, as expected by the Reich. It is already possible to ensure that the empire wins this war. Of course, if the war does not go well, with the demographic advantage of the empire, we can mobilize another fifty army groups. Even more armies joined the war. Although, the total number of troops that Germany and the Holy Alliance put into the war is likely to exceed 20 million. But. This would not pose much of a threat to the well-equipped Empire* army. With a total of sixty-eight army groups. It's already enough to defeat the enemy.

Secondly, the Imperial Navy currently has a total of 56 capital ships. This year, eight more 'Mingkai-class' battleships will enter service, which makes the Imperial Navy's capital ships more than twice as powerful as the German Navy. If it goes by the way, the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy alone will be able to defeat the German Navy. Of course, this is also very likely to be a pyrrhic victory. Therefore, after the outbreak of war, the main forces of the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy will also go to Europe to fight one after another. In addition to the capital ships, the number of other warships of the Reich Navy remained more than twice that of the German Navy. The number of submarines in the Imperial Navy also exceeded one and a half hundred units. Once war breaks out, we will completely cut off the German sea lines. The aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy are under intense construction and are expected to be commissioned only in the second half of next year. The naval confrontation between the Peace Alliance and the Holy Alliance was fought primarily between the Imperial Navy and the German Navy. In general, the Imperial Navy will have absolute superiority.

Again, the number of warplanes of the Imperial Air Force after the outbreak of the war will be more than a thousand. In addition, the number of aircraft will increase by two or three hundred per month. Compared to the Imperial Air Force, the Germans also invested a lot in this area. However, they are far from being comparable to the Empire. Their fighters not only lagged behind the warships of the Imperial Air Force in terms of performance, but also had a very single variety, only fighters. In addition, the tactical doctrine of the Luftwaffe was not yet completed, in this regard. There is no way to compete with the Empire.

Finally, the main task of the Empire's allies in a war is defense. Prevent their country from being destroyed by the Germans and the Holy Alliance, and buy enough time for the Reich to project its military power into Europe. After all, Europe is too far away from the Empire! It was expected that as soon as war broke out, the Germans and the Holy Alliance would launch a major offensive against the allies of the Reich. With the strength of the Empire's allies, it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist. They're going to suffer heavy losses. The plan of the Imperial General Staff is to trade space for the allies of the Empire. When the Empire's follow-up forces arrive, it's time for a massive counterattack! When the time comes, the war will enter a new phase. Admiral Liu Zhongming analyzed.

Long Yufei and the military and political ministers of the Yigan Empire all nodded their heads again and again, according to this analysis, in the early stage of the war, the empire would indeed be in a disadvantageous situation. The main reason is that the empire is too far away from Europe, and it will be more troublesome for the empire to invest its military strength in Europe. If a large increase in troops had been sent to Europe before the war began, it would have only caused nervousness among the Germans, and even caused the war to break out earlier.

Therefore, the safest way is for the allies of the Reich to resist the German attack after the outbreak of war, and buy enough time for the German military to deploy. Of course, this will cost the Empire's allies dearly. It's inevitable. As allies of the Empire, they can't just enjoy the benefits without the obligations, right? Besides, the Empire also deployed a large number of troops in Europe.

"The specific battle plan is as follows, in terms of land, the empire currently has a total of six army groups deployed in Europe. Of these, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army were in Eastern Europe. In the event of a war, they would defend themselves against the offensive of the Allied forces on the Volga and Don rivers. It was expected that Volgograd, which was under imperial control, would become a key target for the Allied forces. For this reason, after the outbreak of the war, the 4th Army deployed by the empire in Central Asia will rush to reinforcements as soon as possible. In addition, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army was deployed in the Mediterranean Province, the 10th Army in the British Isles, the 14th Army in Belgium, and the 16th Army in Spain. Once the war broke out, these six armies of the Imperial Army bore the brunt of the attack of the Allied forces. Their main task is to assist the Empire's allies in holding the line against the attack of the Allied forces.

The second stage is the counterattack. First of all, on the Eastern European front, the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th armies of the Imperial Army were to be thrown into the Eastern European theater. Counterattack the Allied forces on the Eastern European theater as appropriate. Secondly, the 9th Army, the 12th Army, the 13th Army, the 15th Army, the 17th Army and the 18th Army of the Imperial Army. After the outbreak of war, it was shipped to Europe by sea in Guò. The 12 group armies formed later will also be put into the battlefield one after another depending on the situation on the front line. The armored corps and heavy artillery units directly under the Imperial General Staff will also be put into the battlefield at this stage to ensure that the Imperial Army will gain an advantage on the battlefield!

On the naval side, the main task of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy was to fight a decisive battle with the German Navy, and to defeat the Germans completely by relying on the strength of the 5th Fleet alone. If victory can be achieved at a small cost, it will undoubtedly be the best outcome. Even if it ends in a pyrrhic victory, this is an acceptable result. The 1st Fleet of the Imperial Navy was tasked with assisting the 5th Fleet in defeating the German Navy and protecting the sea lines from the Imperial mainland to Europe. Once the war broke out, the Empire's connection with Western Europe could only be done by sea. Therefore, it is very important to protect the sea transportation routes. If the sea transport lines are cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In terms of air force, it is mainly to provide air supremacy support for the offensive of the Imperial Army, and if conditions permit, it can carry out strategic bombing of important cities of the Holy Alliance member countries to weaken the war strength of the Holy Alliance. If the Luftwaffe were to develop rapidly, the Reichsair Force would have to defeat the Luftwaffe and ensure Reich air supremacy.

The allies of the Empire, after going through the initial defenses, will also cooperate with the Empire in counterattacking. In addition, if war broke out, the Spanish Navy would cooperate with the Imperial Navy to destroy the navy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in order to ensure the security of the Mediterranean. The main battle plan, that's it! ”

What Admiral Liu Zhongming said was only the general steps of the 'Stop Fighting Plan'. The specific detailed plan, hundreds of pages thick, would certainly not be told on such an occasion. People, including the Imperial Emperor Long Yufei, would not be interested in learning about it. They don't care about the process, they care about the final result! (To be continued......)
