Jagged Germany

Chapter 1054: War preparation (seeking monthly ticket)

??Germany, Berlin, Imperial Palace, conference room, imperial meeting is being held.

??Emperor Qin Tian sat in his seat. The military and political ministers of the empire sat on both sides of the long table. The expressions on everyone's faces are more serious, because they all know that this meeting is of great importance. It is related to a series of deployments of the empire in future wars.

??The German Empire has been the hegemon of the world since it won the last world war. The identity and status of the overlord brought many benefits to the German Empire. Everyone knows that if the German Empire can also win this war, then the status of the hegemony can be maintained forever. However, if Germany fails in this world war, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid that the German Empire will not only lose its hegemony, but also be crazily suppressed by the enemy, and may even be destroyed. Such a price is undoubtedly unacceptable to the military and political ministers of the German Empire. Therefore, everyone naturally hopes that the German Empire can win the next war.

"Everyone, in the last world war, the empire paid a huge price to win the war, which also made the empire sit in the position of world hegemony for 20 years! During these 20 years, the empire has gained Great development. It can be said that the dividends of war have caused earth-shaking changes in the empire in the past two decades. But at the same time, those enemies of the empire do not want the empire to sit on the throne of hegemony. Take away the throne of the empire. Therefore, in the next war, the empire must do its best to defeat all those enemies again. Only in this way can we maintain our supremacy. Even our country And the nation. No matter how high the price is, we must win the next war!" Qin Tian looked solemn.

??Qin Tian knew very well that once Germany failed in the war, Germany would definitely suffer bad luck given the diabolical nature of the United States and Bu Russia. The Germans will also pay an extremely heavy price. The United States and Russia, which have been suppressed by Germany for 20 years, will not let Germany go easily. In order to avoid such a tragedy, Germany has only one way, and that is to do its best to win this war. As long as you win, then everything is not a problem.

?? "Yes, Your Majesty! The Empire will win!" The ministers replied one after another. They also know that this time the empire has no way out and must win. Otherwise, the empire will be completely finished.

"Prime Minister, Minister of Finance. Starting this year, 20 billion marks will be squeezed out from the fiscal revenue of the empire and the income from the colonies for war preparations. All kinds of war materials needed in the reserve war, including tanks, armored vehicles, Airplanes, trucks, artillery, etc.!" Qin Tian said. Qin Tian believed that the upcoming war would last longer and be more tragic than the last world war. Therefore, before the outbreak of war, it is necessary to make adequate preparations. Otherwise, it will not be easy for the empire to win future wars.

?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wahit and Chancellor of the Exchequer Earl Poole replied.

??Although, 20 billion marks is not a small number. However, the German Empire is not out of reach. Last year, the fiscal revenue of the empire had exceeded 60 billion marks, and the income from the colonies had also increased to 20 billion marks. Of course, this is mainly because the international situation is becoming more and more tense, and Germany has also increased its exploitation of the colonies, so it was able to get so much money.

?? However, although there are many benefits, there are also many places to spend money. Therefore, after hastily withdrawing 20 billion marks, many government plans had to be stopped or postponed. After that, everyone will have a hard time. However, the purpose of this is to win the war. It is better to live a hard life now than to be defeated in the war.

?? "Marshal Manstein, once a war breaks out, how many troops can the army mobilize to fight?" Qin Tian asked.

??Marshal von Falkenhain retired from the position of Minister of War and Chief of Staff more than ten years ago because of his old age. Marshal Ludendorff, who succeeded him, also retired two years ago. And Manstein, whom Qin Tian valued, was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal of the Imperial Army, serving as Minister of the Army and Chief of the General Staff.

??Similarly, the Secretary of the Navy has also changed, and Marshal Reinhard Scheer also retired a few years ago because of his age. The current Secretary of the Navy is Admiral Raeder.

"Your Majesty, the current 12 armies of the Imperial Army, except for the two armies stationed overseas, can be fully staffed within a month. After mobilization, another 12 armies can be formed within three months. One year After that, the Imperial Army can form another 12 armies!" Field Marshal Manstein replied.

??The group armies that Marshal Manstein said would not be sent to other countries to expand their armies by catching some mobs to make up the numbers, but trained elite troops. Although the group armies mobilized later were not as elite as the first-line troops, they could still be regarded as world-class powerful troops. A total of thirty-six army groups, which will increase the total strength of the German Army to 7.2 million people!

??If Germany still only has a population of more than 50 million, it is obviously impossible to mobilize that many troops. However, just after the end of the last world war, Qin Tian implemented family planning throughout the country. As of now, it is the twentieth year. The little guys who were born first have now grown up to be adults and can fight for the empire. In addition, the war will not break out now, it will have to wait two or three years. At that time, the empire will have more qualified soldiers. The farther back, as the baby boomers grew up, the German rescue had more soldiers. In this way, Germany in this time and space will not fall into the embarrassment of not having enough troops at the end of the war like the Germany of the head of state.

??Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. Under his request, the family planning policy of the German Empire was well promoted. Now, the national population has exceeded 120 million. And, a large part of them are teenagers under the age of twenty. This total population is only smaller than Bu Russia in the whole of Europe. Bu Russia is only more than 40 million more than Germany. This gap can be completely made up by the weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
