Jagged Germany

  The outbreak of war requires an opportunity. In other words, the party that initiates the war needs an excuse to wage war against the enemy. Regardless of whether this excuse is plausible or not, there must always be one. It is not to convince other countries, it is entirely to let the people in the country know that there is a reason for the empire to go to war against other countries. Only in this way can the support of the people be gained. With the support of the people, the war can go on.

   Otherwise, if the people do not support it, not only will the war not go on, but it may even cause the country to collapse. Even though Qin Tian's status in Germany is now almost deified, he still needs the support of the people of the empire when launching a foreign war. Only in that way can the war be won.

  Especially this world war will be more tragic and take longer than the last world war. Even though Germany had already started preparing for this world war, Qin Tian was not sure how long the war would last. If the war lasts too long, it will inevitably have a great impact on the lives of the people. Especially if casualties continue to increase during the war, this will inevitably arouse anti-war sentiment among the people. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very necessary to find a suitable excuse for this war. Only in that way will the people support sincerely, and the German Empire will have a greater chance of winning in this war.

  The military and political ministers of the empire were all stunned. They didn't expect Qin Tian to use Ukraine's attack from Russia as an excuse to start a war. Although, they have known for a long time that the war will definitely break out, and the time to start the war may not be too far away. After all, Germany's war preparations were almost complete. Under such circumstances, Germany will inevitably not wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, although the Ukrainian Kingdom was attacked, Bu Russia only dispatched more than a thousand people. What's more, the Ukrainian Kingdom did not suffer. If this is used as an excuse to start a war against Bu Russia, and even detonate a world war because of it, I'm afraid it lacks some persuasiveness," said Imperial Prime Minister Wahit.

   Qin Tian thought about it and nodded, it is indeed so. If you want to give an explanation to the people, it is not convincing that Ukraine was attacked by a force of more than a thousand people from Russia.

   "Your Majesty, since we lack persuasiveness, let's just create a bigger dispute." Marshal Manstein said.

  Marshal Manstein could see that Qin Tian seemed to intend to launch a war this year. Therefore, he began to think positively about how to detonate the war. For these military giants, of course they wish that the war would break out earlier. In that case, they will be able to obtain greater meritorious service. Although Manstein is now a field marshal, he can definitely be regarded as a high-ranking official in the German army. However, he is also eager to be promoted again and become the Marshal of the Empire.

   As the highest military rank in the empire, the Imperial Marshal is not so easy to get. The impending world war is undoubtedly the best opportunity. If he can lead the empire to victory in the war from the position of chief of staff, then he will be promoted to marshal of the empire after the war is over, that is almost a sure thing.

   Qin Tian's eyes brightened. For Germany now, it is not a problem to create an excuse to go to war. As long as Germany really wants to go to war, that excuse will be very easy to find.

"Everyone, the empire is now ready for war. Therefore, I intend to launch a war within this year. When other countries are not ready, I will catch Bu Russia by surprise. If we can destroy Bu Russia, then, We will be able to truly dominate Europe. At that time, the empire will be invincible in future wars!" Qin Tian said.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" All the ministers replied. They are also very clear that by this time, war is inevitable.

   "Marshal Manstein, from now on, the army will mobilize secretly. Within three months, the formation of the 13th to 24th armies will be completed." Qin Tian ordered.

   If you want to launch an attack on Bu Russia, you must rely on the existing army alone. The standing army of the German Army has only 12 group armies and 2.4 million people. There are also two group armies stationed in the Far East and Australia, and there are only 10 group armies left in the mainland. Deducting the two armies stationed in the British Isles and northern France, the largest force that the German Army can use is no more than eight armies with 1.6 million people. Although such a force is already quite a lot, it is far from enough to destroy Bu'e.

   Therefore, Qin Tian asked the army to mobilize another 12 group armies. Of the 12 newly mobilized armies, except for two armies that will be transported to the Far East to assist in the defense there, the remaining ten armies can all be invested in the attack on Bu Russia. Assembling 18 group armies with 3.6 million people is enough to defeat Bu Russia. Coupled with the troops of the protectorate of Germany, there is no problem at all in the demise of Bu Russia.

   "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Manstein nodded. He was a little excited, because if the German army starts to mobilize, it means that war is inevitable.

   "Gustav, with regard to this conflict, make the most solemn representations to the Russian side. How to do it, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will figure it out!" Qin Tian said.

  Since we are going to start a war against Bu Russia, we must start looking for an excuse to start the war. Germany is about to show a tough attitude towards the conflict between Bu Russia and the Kingdom of Ukraine. After all, the Kingdom of Ukraine was a protectorate of the German Empire. Now, the Kingdom of Ukraine has been bullied by Bu Russia. As the master of the Kingdom of Ukraine, Germany will naturally stand up for the Kingdom of Ukraine.

   "Yes, Your Majesty. In this negotiation, can we be tougher?" Gustav Stresemann asked.

   "The tougher the better, it is best to make some demands that Bu Russia cannot meet." Qin Tian said.

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Gustav Stresemann already understood what Qin Tian meant.

   "Marshal Manstein secretly sent someone to Ukraine to inform General Rommel and the Ukrainian side, and let them find an opportunity to further expand the situation!" Qin Tian said.

  If the Ukrainian Kingdom and Russia break out on a larger scale, or even a war. Then, the German Empire, which is responsible for the security of the Kingdom of Ukraine, can take this opportunity to join the war.
