Chapter 1600: Defending from the east and attacking from the west (ask for a monthly ticket)
Russia's surrender and the signing of the "Moscow Peace Treaty" represented Germany's final victory on the Russian battlefield. Although, the losses of the German army on the battlefield were not small. But these losses were nothing compared to Germany's victories.historical
Besides, through this war, Germany not only lifted Russia's threat to Germany itself. At the same time, many benefits have been obtained. The large fertile territory south of the Don and Volga rivers alone is enough to make Germany a lot of money. Not to mention, Germany also received as much as 50 billion marks in war reparations.
In addition, Germany's many servants and protectorates divided up the remaining 50 billion marks of war reparations according to the size of their contributions to the war. This allowed Germany's servants and protectorates to gain a lot of benefits, and it made them willing to support Germany to continue the war. In particular, those slave states and protectorates who did not participate in the war against Russia strongly demanded that they be sent to fight against the United States. In that case, they can not only show their loyalty to Germany, but also gain benefits after defeating the United States.
It can be said that Germany has strengthened the confidence of many vassal states and protectorates through repeated victories on the battlefield, enabling Germany to integrate the power of the entire Europe and fight for Germany's victory.
Now Europe is still the center of the world. Germany, which has mastered the whole of Europe, is undoubtedly invincible in the world. It is simply impossible for other countries to challenge Germany and compete with Germany for the position of world hegemony. Even if they unite, they can't even think about winning.
After Russia is defeated, Germany's strategic center of gravity will also change accordingly. The huge army thrown into the Russian battlefield began to withdraw gradually, except for a small number of slave national * troops to maintain law and order, and wait until the democratic Russian army can control the overall situation before withdrawing. This also allowed Germany to have sufficient troops to be deployed on other battlefields.
Now, Germany's main enemies are the United States on the other side of the Atlantic, Britain following behind the United States, and the island country on the other side of the world. These enemies are located in two directions. In other words, Germany still has to face two fronts. Even if Germany's military strength is strong, it is very difficult to invest the main force in two battlefields at the same time and win. After all, the strength of Germany's enemies is also not weak. After crazy expansion of armaments, they all have very strong military power.
For this reason, Kaiser Qin Tian held a military meeting the morning after the signing of the "Moscow Peace Treaty" to discuss the deployment of the next war. Defeating Russia is nothing more than allowing Germany to further establish its advantage in this war. If you want to win the final victory, there is undoubtedly a very long distance.
"Everyone, thanks to your efforts, we have won the victory on the Russian battlefield. We have also ended the battle on the Russian battlefield. Next, we only need to face two fronts." Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, it is because of your wise leadership that we were able to defeat those enemies and win the war." Marshal Manstein said. Although these words seemed to be flattering, the other high-ranking military and political officials all nodded their heads in agreement.
Emperor Qin Tian, ??who inherited the throne in the last world war, led Germany to victory all the way. Now, it will lead Germany to win another world war and completely consolidate Germany's world hegemony. This also makes Kaiser Qin Tian already deified in Germany. His words can even represent the will of God, and no one will refuse.
"Although I can provide assistance to the army, you are the ones who are really fighting on the battlefield. I hope you can continue to bring more victories to me and the empire," Qin Tian said.
"The empire will win!" All the generals said one after another. Everyone's eyes were shining with determination. They all almost believed that Germany would definitely be able to win the next war.
"Everyone, after Russia's defeat, our enemies are only the United States, Britain, and island countries. So, which direction should we give priority to defeating these enemies? These enemies are far away from the empire, making it impossible for us to be in the same direction at the same time." The main force was invested in two directions." Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, we have already discussed. No matter which direction the enemy is attacked first, the enemy in the other direction will take the opportunity to achieve greater development. This is a completely unsolvable problem for the empire." Manstein Marshal Yin said.
Qin Tian nodded. If Germany tries its best to attack the United States and Britain on the other side of the Atlantic, the island countries on the other side of the world will take the opportunity to expand their armaments and plunder more resources from Southeast Asia. It will be even more difficult for Germany to perish as an island country in the future.
The reverse is also the same. Although the military strength of the island country is not as good as that of the United States, the island country is too far away from Germany. If Germany wants to destroy the island country, it has to send a large army to the Pacific Ocean for thousands of miles. This is obviously impossible to do in a short period of time. When Germany is going all out to deal with the island countries, the United States and the United Kingdom will inevitably use this time to develop stronger. Even seize this opportunity and give Germany a fatal blow.
"Then, what is the final choice of the General Staff?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, we compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two battlefields, and finally decided to take the defensive in the Pacific Ocean first, and take the offensive in the Atlantic Ocean. In the Far East battlefield, even if the strength of the island countries expands, there is a limit. They will not be too strong. .After we solve the United States and Britain, with the military strength of the empire, it will be easy to destroy the island country." Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian nodded. Compared with island countries, the United States has greater development potential. Once they are given enough time, they will organize a stronger military force, which will undoubtedly pose a greater threat to Germany. Therefore, it is more beneficial for Germany to give priority to the destruction of the United States and the United Kingdom.
In addition, North America and Europe are only separated by the Atlantic Ocean. Although this caused no small difficulty for the German army to attack North America. However, in the case of mastering the command of the Atlantic Ocean, Germany can still land in North America relatively easily. Therefore, it is undoubtedly more beneficial for Germany to attack North America first.
