From the perspective of absolute military power, the military production capacity and equipment technology level of the Allied and Allied nations on this plane have been significantly improved. It's just that the rate of improvement is different. Germany has improved the most, while Britain and France are even worse. If it continues according to the historical script, Germany may be able to achieve a decent ending after the war of 4 to 5 years (the United States does not participate in the war). But it is impossible to bring England and France to the brink of collapse in two to three years.
In fact, the fundamental reason why the war has been one-sided so far is that the British and French coalition forces have lost too many troops and equipment on the secondary battlefield. Since Ruprecht moved to the Balkans, the British and French coalition forces have lost at least 800,000 troops in the Balkans and Asia Minor! (This loss is fatal, injured, and missing persons. The injured may be counted twice.) Thousands of tanks and self-propelled artillery were thrown away, at least more than 2,000 crews were completely lost, and more than 3,500 aircraft were beaten in the protracted war of attrition. Cheng Fei Ash!
Britain and France overdrafted their war potential prematurely, and military production and mobilization reached the zenith prematurely, so they could barely survive this year. However, under the huge consumption of the battlefield and the strangulation of submarine warfare, they have reached the zenith prematurely. After hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives have been swallowed by the giant beasts called wars, whether they are British or French, their hematopoietic ability will gradually decline. At this time, Germany's combat effectiveness is gradually improving, even if not Reached one's own limit, and when the German civil strife ended, almost everyone knew that the war would end this year, and the result has been finalized by 70%!
"Then General Crook, tell me what you think, everyone in this room can speak freely." Ruprecht nodded and said after listening. As a qualified superior, you can act arbitrarily when necessary, but at least you have to listen to the opinions of others. In other words, there is such a process.
"His Royal Highness, we are not suitable for launching an offensive now. The weather has not completely warmed up. The army has also consumed a lot in the first few months. Although it can recover in the next three weeks, for us, time is on our side Yes, we can wait until the troops on the Eastern Front are transferred, and then we can completely defeat the British and French forces under absolute superiority, and even once again parade on the Champs Elysées in Paris and celebrate at the Palace of Versailles. Our victories are all possible." Crook said: "So, if possible, I suggest to launch the offensive after 2 months."
"I agree with General Crook, although with reinforcements from the Bavarian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army, our combat effectiveness has overwhelmed our opponents, but our strength still has a slight disadvantage. It is not difficult to win a big victory, but It's not easy to get Paris directly. So it's better to wait." General Heilingen on the side also agreed with Crook's opinion.
"Anything else to say?" Prince Ruprecht asked quietly.
"Nothing, Your Highness. From a strategic point of view, as long as there are no major accidents, we have won this time, and the rest is only a matter of time and loss." General Howson looked at Crook next to him. , After the opponent nodded slightly, General Howson said.
"From a military standpoint, your suggestion is very pertinent and is in line with our current situation. If we only hope for a complete military victory, then I will adopt your opinion, but unfortunately, war has never been more than just Military issues are more political issues. Military is only a means to solve political issues, not an end. No one will fight for war.” Ruprecht said calmly.
"Well, everyone here, answer me a few questions. Why do you think this war will start?" Ruprecht asked.
"Naturally because of conflicts of interest." Crook said.
"Fuck it, can you cooperate?" The prince was madly complaining. He knew Crook must understand some of what he wanted to say, but this old cunning guy easily took it with a single phrase. It resolved the prince's problem as if it were Tai Chi.
"This is too shallow, General Crook. Your answer makes me very dissatisfied. Anyone who has been to the Imperial Military Academy will answer like this. Such words shouldn't come from your mouth." Ruprech Particularly dissatisfied, said: "Well, maybe I don't understand what I said, so I just ask, among the four countries of Britain, France, Russia and Japan, which country poses the greatest threat to the empire, and which country should be punished the most?"
"French people, right? We are feuds, and we are also land-powered countries. 70% of our strength on the Western Front was used to deal with the French, and 70% of our losses were caused by the French. Although the United Kingdom is stronger , And has a strong navy and air force, but the army is far inferior to France. As for the Russians? They have vast territory and huge population, but the level of industrial technology is too poorGeneral Heilingen Said.
This buddy has served at the top of the Prussian army for a long time. More than 70% of the plans he participated in at the top are considering how to quickly bring the French down. In actual wars, it was the French who put the most pressure on the German army. Therefore, under the influence of this subconscious, General Heilingen listed the French as the number one enemy.
Hearing this, Admiral Crook frowned slightly, trying to say something, but held back and did not speak, and General Howson on the side spoke at this time.
"From the perspective of the army alone. The French are the most difficult and tenacious. But if the British talent is the most terrifying strategically, their fleet transports millions of troops to France. Use the output of the colonies of the world to support the war of the entire Allied powers. The world’s largest fleet and our high seas fleet confront each other in the North Sea, and tens of millions of tons of transport ships maintain this powerful empire like blood vessels. The British The British air force has always been dominant in previous battles. It can be said that the British have fought all our navy, about 70% of the air force, and more than 30% of the Western Ground Corps. Generally speaking, British talents are our greatest enemy. "General Howson said.
General Howson analyzed the pressure and influence of the Allied countries on the empire in general. The French have an advantage on land, but the sea and air are completely broilers, and supplies are not enough. Even the British coal can support the French. Of war consumption. So General Howson thought the British were more terrifying!
