Germany, Berlin, palace, conference room, Imperial Council are being held.
Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire, sitting in his seat. Empire and Military and Political Ministers were sitting on both sides of the long table. The expressions on everyone's faces were serious, because they all knew that this meeting was of great importance. It is related to a series of deployments of the Empire in the war that breaks out in the future.
German Empire has been the world's dominant player since he defeated World War last time. The identity and status of the overlord has brought many benefits to the German Empire. Everyone knows that if German Empire can also win this war, then its dominance will be maintained. However, if Germany fails this time in World War, the consequences will be disastrous. German Empire may not only lose Hegemonic Status, but also suffer crazy suppression from the enemy, and may even be destroyed. Such a price is undoubtedly unacceptable to the German Empire and Military and Political Ministers. Therefore, everyone naturally hopes that German Empire can win the next war.
"Everyone, the Empire paid a huge price to win the last world war. This also made the Empire sit on the position of world hegemon for twenty years! In these twenty years, the Empire has made great progress. It can be said that the war dividends have caused earth-shaking changes in the Empire in the past twenty years. But similarly, the enemies of the Empire do not want the Empire to remain on the throne of hegemony. Sit down, they are deliberately trying to take away the throne of the empire. Therefore, in the next war, the empire must do its best to defeat those enemies again. Only in this way can we retain our country and nation. No matter how high the price is, we must win the next war!
Oscar knows very well that once Germany fails in the war, Germany will definitely be in bad luck due to the urinary nature of United States and Buru. Germany people will also pay an extremely heavy price. United States and Buru, who have been suppressed by Germany for twenty years, will not let Germany off easily. In order to avoid such a tragedy, Germany has only one way, and that is to do everything possible to win this war. As long as you win, nothing will be a problem.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Empire will win!" the ministers replied one after another. They also know that Empire has no way out this time and must win. Otherwise, Empire will be completely finished.
"Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Starting from this year, 20 billion Mark will be squeezed out of the Empire's fiscal revenue and income from the colonies for war preparation. Reserve various war materials needed for the war, including tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, Truck, artillery, etc.!" Oscar said. Oscar believes that the war that will break out next will be longer and more brutal than the last World War war. Therefore, before war breaks out, sufficient preparations must be made. Otherwise, it will not be easy for the Empire to win in future wars.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wachth and Chancellor of the Exchequer Count Puhl replied.
Although, 20 billion Mark is not a small amount. However, German Empire is not impossible to get. Last year, Empire's fiscal revenue exceeded 60 billion Mark, and the income from the colonies also increased to 20 billion Mark. Of course, this is mainly because the international situation is becoming increasingly tense, and Germany has also increased its exploitation of colonies, so it was able to obtain so much money.
However, although there are many benefits, there are also many places to spend money. Therefore, after rashly allocating 20 billion Mark, many government plans had to be stopped or postponed. Next, 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.
"Field Marshal Manstein, once a war breaks out, how many troops can the army mobilize to participate in the war?" Oscar asked.
Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhayn retired from his position as Minister of War and Chief of Staff more than ten years ago because of his old age. His replacement, Field Marshal Ludendorff, also retired two years ago. Manstein, whom Oscar valued, was promoted to Marshal Imperial Army and became Minister of War and Chief of Staff.
Similarly, First Sea Lord has also been replaced. Reinhard? Admiral Scheer also retired a few years ago because of his age. The current First Sea Lord is Admiral Raeder.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Army's existing 12 group armies, except for the two group armies stationed overseas, the rest of the troops can be full within one month. After mobilization, 12 more group armies can be formed within three months. One year later, Imperial Army can form another 12 group armies!" Field Marshal Manstein replied.
The group armies Field Marshal Manstein talks about will not recruit rabble-rousers from other countries to expand their armies, but will be trained elite troops. Although the group armies mobilized later are not as elite as Frontline Troops, they can still be regarded as world-class powerful armies. There are a total of thirty-six army groups, which will increase the total strength of the German Army to 7.2 million men!
If Germany still only has a population of over 50 million, it is obviously impossible to mobilize so many troops. However, just after the last World War ended, Oscar implemented Family Planning Policy across the country. As of now, it is already the twentieth year. Those little guys who were born first have now grown up and can fight for the Empire. In addition, the war will not break out now, it will have to wait two or three years. By then, Empire will have more qualified soldiers. As the years go by, as the baby boomers grow up, Germany Rescue has more soldiers. In this case, Germany in this time and space will not fall into the embarrassment of not having enough troops in the late war like Führer's Germany.
Oscar nodded with satisfaction. At his request, German Empire's Family Planning Policy policy was promoted very well. Now, the country's population has exceeded 120 million. Moreover, a large proportion are teenagers under the age of twenty. This total population is only less than Buru in the entire Europe. Buru is only more than 40 million more than Germany. This gap can be made up entirely by the weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
