"Arming such a large army will require a large amount of weapons and equipment. In addition, the consumption of war materials will also be staggering. These will double the price Empire pays in the war." Oscar said with a frown.
Of course, these Protectorate troops can play a certain role on the battlefield. However, if this drags down German Empire's logistics, it will do more harm than good.
"Your Majesty, in terms of weapons and equipment, we will use the weapons that have been replaced before to equip the armies of these protectorates. In addition, it is almost enough to reduce the heavy weapons they equip and mainly meet the light weapons. After all, they will rarely participate in the battles of front-line troops. They are mainly used for tasks in the rear of the battlefield. In terms of supplies, since the protectorates have sent so many troops to participate in the war , then they will naturally be responsible for the logistics of the troops. Of course, if the countries with poor economic conditions cannot complete it, the empire will still need to help them. The empire can promise them that after defeating those enemies, they have the right to share a share of the war benefits. I think that in this case, all countries will actively participate." Marshal Manstein continued.
Oscar nodded. If Field Marshal Manstein followed Field Marshal Manstein's plan, then Empire would indeed only need to pay a small price to ensure that Empire would have enough troops on the future battlefield.
"In this case, then implement it according to your plan!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Field Marshal Manstein looked happy. Oscar agreed to their plan, which undoubtedly means that they can use the name of Oscar to ask those Protectorate to cooperate. With Oscar's prestige, those Protectorate simply did not dare to refuse Germany's request. In this case, the possibility of the plan's success will increase a lot.
"Your Majesty, seeing Field Marshal Manstein forming so many troops in the Empire's Protectorate, I suddenly had an idea." Imperial Foreign Minister Gustav? Streseman said.
"Oh? What do you think?" Oscar asked.
"Your Majesty, the entire Europe, in addition to the Empire and Buru, and Empire's Protectorate, there are also many countries. If they can be brought closer to the alliance of the Empire. Then, Empire is the same The strength will be greatly increased. After all, Empire is the most powerful country in the world. And Europe is the center of the world. If we can unite the power of Europe, it will enable Empire to win this war at the minimum cost!" Gustav Streseman said.
Oscar couldn't help but nodded, although most of the remaining countries were small countries. However, if they are integrated, the power is not weak. For example, Kingdom of Italy is a traditional powerful country. Although it has declined, its foundation is still there. Especially after Mussolini became the prime minister of Kingdom of Italy, he began to actively expand outwards. However, the entire Mediterranean Sea and even the entire Africa are within the sphere of influence of Germany. Kingdom of Italy wants to expand but has no place to expand.
Republic of Turkey, Kingdom of Spain, can be considered a big country. There are also Romania Kingdom, Kingdom of Bulgaria, Kingdom of Sweden, Kingdom of Norway, Kingdom of Denmark, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Portuguese Republic and Kingdom of Greece. If these countries can be integrated and join the banner of Allied Powers headed by the German Empire, then the power controlled by Germany will be greatly increased.
Even though the military strength of these countries is not very strong, the combat effectiveness of the military is also relatively poor. However, just like those Protectorate from Germany, even if they cannot participate in front-line operations, there is always no problem in performing rear missions. What's more, the troops of Germany's enemies are not all elite troops either. The standing army may have strong combat effectiveness, but Germany's Protectorate and its allies are no match. However, as long as German military eliminates their elite troops, the remaining hastily mobilized troops will not have very strong combat effectiveness. Germany's Protectorate and the armies of allied countries will be able to fight against it. In this case, German military will have a large surplus in military strength. The losses in the war will not be too great.
"Your Majesty, this is a very good method. In that case, we can integrate all the forces of Europe except Buru. The army we can control will once again increase by one-third. With such a large army, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, even if it is piled with people, we can defeat those enemies!" Field Marshal Manstein said excitedly.
Oscar knows that the human sea tactic is Buru's specialty. In another time and space, didn't they just rely on their huge military strength to defeat Germany of Führer? The advanced and powerful Tiger-Panther tanks was overwhelmed by the cheap T-34 tanks using tank sea tactics.
In this time and space, if Germany can have an absolute advantage in military strength, this will make Buru have no advantage at all in this regard. Then, Germany's chance of winning will increase again. Sufficient troops will allow Germany to avoid adopting conservative tactics and directly adopt radical tactics of multi-faceted attack. Buru will be overwhelmed because of its military disadvantage. In this case, Germany can defeat Buru in the shortest possible time. Even if there is a need to use troops against Americas and Island Nation's Mainland in the future, the troops of these countries can also be sent. In that case, German military's losses can be greatly reduced.
Especially Island Nation, those Island Nation people are not afraid of death. Once German military logs into Island Nation, he will inevitably encounter a crazy counterattack from Island Nation people. In that case, German military's casualties will inevitably increase. If the armies of other countries are allowed to deal with those crazy Island Nation people, then German military's losses will naturally be much less. Even if it eventually leads to large-scale casualties among Island Nation civilians, it has nothing to do with German military.
"Since everyone thinks it is feasible, then, in the name of the Empire, invite the leaders of those countries to come to Berlin. Allied Powers Group, it is time to rebuild!" Oscar said.
During the First World War, Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire were undoubtedly the core strength of Allied Powers. In addition, Kingdom of Bulgaria was also a member of Allied Powers. However, after the Austro-Hungarian Empire exited Allied Powers, Allied Powers became useless. Now, when the next World War is about to break out, Germany comes forward to rebuild Allied Powers, which is very helpful in strengthening the power of Germany.
