Chapter 1063: Allied General Staff (seeking monthly ticket)
Countries agreed to join the Allies one after another, which undoubtedly paved the way for Germany to integrate the power of the entire Europe. Next, before the outbreak of the war, Germany will focus on integrating European countries, mobilizing all their strengths and kneading them into one. In this case, after the outbreak of future wars, the possibility of Germany winning will be greater.
On the second day after the meeting began, Marshal Manstein, the Imperial Army Minister and Chief of the General Staff, began to propose to the countries participating in the Allied Powers the mobilization of troops after the outbreak of the war.
The protectorate of the empire has been notified before. They already know it in their hearts, so they won't announce it at this meeting. Of course, as the protectorate of Germany, they have no right to object. Whatever Germany asks for, that's what it will be, there is no room for bargaining, and that may be the price you have to pay for putting the country's security behind Germany's protection!
"The Kingdom of Italy needs to mobilize 3 million troops after the outbreak of the war, and obey the deployment of the Allied General Staff. Among them, 1.5 million troops need to be mobilized within three months after the outbreak of the war!" Manstein said the marshal.
The Kingdom of Italy has a population of more than 40 million. For them, mobilizing 3 million troops is far from the limit. However, mobilizing so many troops and equipping them will undoubtedly cost a lot of money.
King Vittorio Emanuele III and Prime Minister Mussolini couldn't help but feel pain. However, when they declared their position to join the Allies, they spoke very beautifully. If they repent at this time, their reputation will be completely lost. What's more, Germany will not let them go again. Therefore, in the face of Germany's request, Mussolini had no choice but to pat his chest and promise that after the war broke out, the Kingdom of Italy would mobilize three million troops to obey the dispatch of the Allied General Staff.historical
"The Republic of Turkey, after the outbreak of the war, must mobilize 1.2 million troops to obey the dispatch of the General Staff of the Allied Powers! Among them, 600,000 people will be mobilized three months after the outbreak of the war." Marshal Manstein said.
The current Turkish Republic is not the original Ottoman Turkish Empire after all. After losing a large amount of territory, their population has shrunk to less than 20 million. But even so, mobilizing 1.2 million troops is not a big problem for them.
"Okay, no problem!" President Kemal replied very simply.
"The Kingdom of England and Wales, after the outbreak of the war, you need to mobilize three million troops to obey the dispatch of the Allied General Staff. One and a half million of them will be mobilized three months after the outbreak of the war!" Manstein The marshal continued.
The Kingdom of England and Wales inherited the most elite part of the British Empire and has the largest population, with a population of more than 40 million. They mobilized three million troops, and there was no problem at all.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Although King Arthur knew that this would cross off a large sum of money. But if it can help Germany destroy the British Empire, it will undoubtedly be very worthwhile.
The Kingdom of Spain has a population of more than 20 million, so in Manstein's plan, they need to mobilize 1.5 million troops. In this regard, neither the King of Spain nor the Prime Minister has any objections.
The Kingdom of Romania has a population of 18 million, and they will mobilize 1.2 million troops to fight.
France has a population of 16 million (a country established on the southern land of France, and the northern territory has been incorporated into Germany), and they will mobilize 1 million troops to fight.
The Kingdom of Bulgaria has a population of 6 million, and they will mobilize 400,000 troops to fight.
The Kingdom of Sweden has a population of more than 6 million, and they will also mobilize 400,000 troops to join the war.
Portugal, an industrial country with a population of more than seven million, will mobilize half a million troops to fight.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands has a population of more than 8 million, and they will mobilize 600,000 troops to fight.
The Kingdom of Greece has a population of more than seven million, and they will mobilize half a million troops to fight.
The Kingdom of Denmark has a population of 4 million, and they will mobilize 300,000 troops to fight.
The Kingdom of Norway has a population of 3 million, and they will mobilize 200,000 troops to fight.
The Principality of Luxembourg has a population of 300,000, and they will mobilize 20,000 troops to join the war.
No country disagrees with Germany on the number of troops they need to mobilize after the outbreak of war. Although, they all know that means they have to pay a lot of money. However, Germany seems to be apportioning tasks, they have no right to refuse or oppose at all! Once opposed, it might anger Germany again. The consequences of this will be very serious.
Even if you don’t count the kingdoms of England and Wales that have been counted before, they belong to countries controlled by the empire, so in the plan of the General Staff, their army belongs to the second echelon.
After deducting the kingdoms of England and Wales, other countries promised to mobilize 10.82 million troops after the war broke out. Even if only half of the troops were mobilized within three months after the outbreak of the war, that would be 5.41 million. Including the 6.8 million troops that Germany's protectorate and controlled countries were able to mobilize at the beginning of the war, this has reached more than 12 million. If you add the German Empire's own army, then, in this war, the Allied Powers led by Germany have more than 30 million people in the army alone.
Such a huge army is enough to sweep away all enemies. Even if several of Germany's enemies unite, Germany is fully capable of confronting it. At least, Bu Russia on the European continent is absolutely unable to withstand so many Allied* troops.
Of course, although the Allies were able to mobilize so many troops, these troops came from different countries and did not understand each other's languages. If they want to display their combat effectiveness on the battlefield, they need to conduct smooth command. Otherwise, once there is confusion in the command, not only will they not be a boost to the German army on the battlefield, but they will drag the German army down. Germany took great pains to form the Allies, and then forced the member states to mobilize so many troops, not to slow them down, but to really hope that they can share the pressure for the German army on the battlefield. Even if they can't fight against the enemy's first-line troops, as long as they can defeat those second- and third-line troops, or ensure the safety of the logistics supply line, that's enough.
In order to command these armies, the Allied Powers set up the Allied General Staff, which is responsible for coordinating and commanding these armies.
