If the German Army expands to thirty-six armies with 7.2 million people, such a huge force should have no problem defeating Bu Russia. Although, Bu Russia's maximum mobilization capacity is about 12 million. However, the weapons and equipment of the two sides are too far apart, there is also a generational difference in combat concepts, and there is even a huge gap in the combat literacy of the soldiers.
Under such circumstances, the German army only needs to fight steadily and through two or three large-scale battles to wipe out the main force of the Russian army. Then, the German army can nibble away Bu Russia step by step.
Germany in this time and space is no different from Germany in another time and space. Whether it is national power or the international environment, Germany in this time and space is much better than Germany in the head of state. Germany, the Führer, lacks resources and cannot fight a long war. Therefore, they can only try their best to defeat the enemy and win the war in the shortest time. However, Qin Tian's Germany is different. Their population is not much less than Bu'e, which ensures that they will have sufficient soldiers. At the same time, the territorial area is much larger than that of the Marshal's Germany, and it also has the most extensive colony in the world. These have ensured that Germany has enough strength to carry on the war. Even if it drags on for a long time, Germany can continue to fight !
As long as Germany can defeat Bu Russia in the war, then Germany will have a great chance of winning. Next, Germany will be able to defeat other enemies with its strong sea and air strength.
"The two armies stationed overseas also need to be strengthened as soon as possible. Once we fight in Europe and Russia, the island country will definitely seize this opportunity and march to Southeast Asia and Australia!" Qin Tian said.
He knows the character of the islanders too well. With such an advantage, they will definitely take advantage of it. What's more, Germany and the island countries are now life and death enemies. Over the years, the islanders have tightened their belts to develop their military power, isn't it just to avenge Germany? This has almost become the common goal of the entire country and nation of the island nation. Therefore, once a war breaks out, it will inevitably be a large-scale battle.
"Your Majesty, in Nanyang and Australia, we have recruited locals to form some troops. Although the number is not large and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, it is barely usable. With their assistance, we rely on our two elite armies to resist There should be no problem with the attack of the islanders!" Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian shook his head, he knew that Marshal Manstein and the others underestimated the islanders. Although the weapons and equipment of the islanders are not as good as the German army, their fighting will is very strong. When fighting, you are not afraid of death. Such a combat style often makes it impossible for the armies of other countries to confront it. Therefore, if the German army does not pay attention to this point in the battle with the army of the island country. At that time, I'm afraid it will be ugly to lose.
In addition, Qin Tian is not optimistic about the aboriginal troops in Nanyang and Australia. Although the weapons they are equipped with are all weapons eliminated by the German army, they are more advanced than those equipped by the island army. However, their will to fight is too bad, and their training is far inferior to that of the Japanese Army. Once on the battlefield, they will be easily defeated when they encounter the fierce and fearless attack style of the island army.
"Those colonial troops are simply unreliable. They are mostly used to maintain the law and order in the rear. If they are sent to the battlefield, they will be vulnerable. At that time, apart from holding back our troops, they will have no other role at all. .” Qin Tian said.
Marshal Manstein did not expect that Qin Tian would look down on the colonial army so much, but he knew that Qin Tian must have his basis for saying so. Originally, he also planned to take a temporary defensive position in Southeast Asia and Australia with the existing troops. Wait until the European battlefield is won, and then send reinforcements to the Far East. But now it seems that this does not seem to work!
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, after our second group army is formed, we can send two more group armies to Nanyang and Australia. In this case, we will have 800,000 people in Nanyang and Australia. If we take a defensive position, It is no problem to resist the attack of the islanders." Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian nodded, it is undoubtedly safer to do so. Of course, the islanders will launch an attack on Germany, and they will certainly not launch it at the beginning of the war. In that case, Germany still has enough time to dispatch troops to Southeast Asia and Australia.
"Marshal Raeder, where's the navy?" Qin Tian asked.
Like the army, the task of the navy in this battle is also very arduous. Because, after the outbreak of the war, the imperial navy will deal with the United States, Britain, and island countries at the same time, and wage fierce battles with powerful enemies in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same time. Although the imperial navy is very powerful, it is undoubtedly very difficult to deal with so many powerful countries at the same time.
"Your Majesty, the five major fleets of the Imperial Navy have all completed their battle preparations. So far, our five major fleets have equipped a total of 38 capital ships and 20 aircraft carriers. Such combat power is enough to crush other countries. Even if we are fighting in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, we have great advantages. In addition, the construction of a new aircraft carrier of the Empire is about to start. Once it is completed and put into service, the Imperial Navy will have even greater strength." Lei Marshal Del said.
The capital ships of the German Navy are still those capital ships in the last war. Although, the earliest batch of warships have been in service for almost thirty years now, and they are already out-and-out old ships. However, after the refurbishment, the combat effectiveness is still very strong, at least 90% of the heyday can be guaranteed. Now that the aircraft carrier has become the main force, it is already very good that the capital ship can have such a combat power. After all, except for the cutting-edge battleships of the United States that are stronger than the battleships of Germany, the battleships of other countries cannot compete with the battleships of the German Navy.
As for aircraft carriers, the first two 'Pioneer-class' battleships in service with the German Navy have retired from active service and have become training ships. The main aircraft carriers currently in service are 12 "Constellation-class" aircraft carriers, four "Deutschland-class" aircraft carriers and four "William the Great-class" aircraft carriers.
Among them, 12 "Constellation-class" aircraft carriers, four each for the Home Fleet, the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, four "Deutschland-class" aircraft carriers for the Indian Ocean Fleet, and four "Wilhelm the Great-class" aircraft carriers for the Mediterranean Fleet .
