The perspective shifted to Germany.
The war between Australasia and the Japanese had ended. As for which country was the most nervous, it was unquestionably Germany.
Although Australasia was thousands of miles away, the weapons it had used on the Japanese battlefield were far too terrifying. They were absolutely capable of tipping the balance of the European War.
After learning that Australasia possessed such weapons, the German Government came up with two plans.
The first plan was to develop powerful weapons similar to Australasia's, then use them on the European battlefield to bring the war to a direct end.
The second plan was to accelerate its offensives against the other European countries and end the European War as quickly as possible, before Australasia could send more troops and use those weapons against Germany.
With both plans proceeding at the same time, Germany would remain undefeated whether either one succeeded or both succeeded.
As for the consequences of both plans failing, the current German Government would not even consider such a possibility.
After all, having integrated the industries of Czechoslovakia and Austria, as well as the military technology of Austria and Poland, Germany's military-science talent was unquestionably among the world's best.
If even present-day Germany could not develop weapons like Australasia's, then Australasia's military technology and talent reserves could only be said to be far ahead of Germany's.
If that were the case, then accepting defeat because of technological progress would be perfectly understandable.
However, the Germans did not believe that Australasia, once merely a colony, could achieve such an overwhelming military-technological lead in less than forty years.
Even the German Empire during the First World War had never managed such a feat. How could Australasia possibly do it?
Arthur was not worried in the slightest about other countries possibly developing
