Chapter 827: continue to march
??Berlin, Germany, Imperial Palace.
??In the office of the imperial emperor Qin Tian, ??all the military and political ministers of the empire gathered here. Although the battle is over, there are still a lot of affairs to be arranged. It can be said that defeating the enemy in war and winning is only the first step. Next, the most important thing is to fully digest and absorb the benefits obtained in the war.
"Everyone, the war is basically over. At least, a large-scale war will not break out for a long time. The empire has worked so hard and paid a huge price to win this war .From now on, the Empire has officially replaced Britain as the new world hegemon!" Qin Tian said with a smile.
??The other military and political ministers also had smiles on their faces. It has always been the dream of the Germans to defeat the United Kingdom and take the throne of the world hegemony under the British ass. To this end, they have been working hard for decades. God bless, under the leadership of the wise emperor, they finally defeated the British and became the new world hegemony as they wished.
"Your Majesty, the Empire will be a more powerful overlord than the former British Empire. Because we are not like the British, who only have the world's largest navy. Our army and navy, as well as the air force to be established, are the world's most powerful Powerful!" said Marshal von Falkenhain.
??Other people nodded again and again, and they all agreed with this point, that is, the German Empire is stronger than the British Empire.
?? "Our strength is not only in the military, but in terms of economy, industry and technology, we are already ahead of the world!" Prime Minister Biluo said.
?? "Everyone is right. As the new world hegemon, we should naturally lead the world in all aspects!" Qin Tian smiled and nodded.
"Next, the empire will focus on digesting the various benefits gained during the war. The territory of the Eastern European Plain and the industrial areas of France need to be digested and integrated. Only in this way can our strength grow rapidly !” Qin Tian then reminded.
??In the peace treaty signed with Bu Russia, Bu Russia ceded the most essential part to Germany. Compared with Western Europe, although the industry there is not very developed, it is still passable. If it is transformed with German funds and technology, it will be able to develop soon. In addition, it has been a grain-producing area since ancient times, which can enable Germany to obtain enough agricultural products and improve the living standards of the people. After all, the people support Germany in the world war, and in essence, they also hope that they can live better in the future. If these hopes of the people cannot be met, then the support of the people may have to be greatly reduced. Even though Qin Tian's status is getting higher and higher, he doesn't want to disappoint the public in this regard.
??Northern France is an important industrial area in France. Most of France's industry is concentrated here. Although, compared to Germany, France's industry is a bit aging. However, the development potential here is still immeasurable. After Germany occupied such a large territory, it naturally needed to integrate and digest it. Once the integration and digestion are completed, Germany's industry will reach another level. It can even completely surpass the United States and become the world's largest industrial power.
"Your Majesty, the industrial development of the empire still requires a vast market and raw material production areas. We have already begun to receive the colonies of the French and Italians. However, those British colonies are still outside our control. Those officials and troops , and did not accept London's orders, but continued to obey Toronto's orders. If we do not use force, it will be difficult for us to occupy those colonies!" Foreign Secretary Wachter said.
??Qin Tian nodded, the British colony is very vast. Africa alone has a huge slice of it. From the Middle East to India, to Southeast Asia, and Australia. This entire large colony was in the hands of officials and generals loyal to George V of Toronto. If Germany wants to really acquire these colonies, it must continue to send troops to attack. Because the area is too large, I am afraid it will take a long time.
?? Of course, those colonies are too important. Especially India, South Africa and Australia, if Germany can get it, it will bring Germany's national strength to another level.
?? "Marshal Falkenhain, the staff should draw up a military plan for these colonies! I hope that these colonies can be captured within two years!" Qin Tian said.
?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal von Falkenhain nodded.
?? Although those colonies are vast and scattered all over the world. However, there is still no big problem in taking these colonies within two years.
?? "The imperial navy must fully support the army at this stage!" Qin Tian said.
?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Earl Tirpitz nodded.
??Those colonies are all overseas. Without the help of the navy, how can the army get there? Logistical support alone is enough to collapse the Army.
?? What's more, Germany's seizure of those colonies is also of great benefit to the navy. The increase in financial resources will inevitably lead to a further increase in military power. In addition, in order to protect those overseas colonies, the strength of the German navy will inevitably be further strengthened. At that time, the German Navy had to be a worldwide navy. No matter which ocean it is on, there must be the power of the German navy. Only in this way can Germany's overseas interests be guaranteed. Therefore, the Navy is naturally willing to do its best at this time.
?? "Your Majesty, the Imperial Marine Corps can also participate in the war." Marshal Earl Tirpitz further said.
??During the landing operations in the UK, the performance of the Marine Corps was still very good. Although the casualties were not small, they successfully captured the beachhead and opened up the landing field for the army's safe landing, which can be said to be indispensable.
??Qin Tian nodded: "The Marine Corps can also join the battle! In addition, the size of the Marine Corps can be expanded from five divisions to ten divisions!"
??The British colonies are all by the sea. Some smaller colonies, such as the Straits Settlements, can be captured directly by the Marine Corps.
?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" Earl Tirpitz replied excitedly. The Marine Corps was able to expand to ten divisions, which made him very satisfied. You know, in terms of the size of the Marine Corps, if there are ten divisions, there are almost 200,000 people, which is already equivalent to a corps of the Army.
