The expression on Qin Tian's face was a little serious. Over the years, the military power of the island country has indeed expanded very fast. This has posed a huge threat to Germany.
"With our Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, as well as the Army's four armies deployed in Southeast Asia and Australia, plus our local colonial army, is it possible to defeat the islanders head-on?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, the current standing army of the island country's army is as high as forty divisions and more than one million people. Taking the island country's current population of more than 70 million, if the island country fully mobilizes, it will be very easy to arm four to five million troops. Even, if they carry out extreme mobilization, they can arm an army of about 8 million. With the industrial level of the island country, it is difficult to arm such a large army, but with the support of the United States, it will be different, at least it can ensure These troops are equipped with light weapons. Although the Imperial Army has four armies in Southeast Asia and Australia. There are also millions of colonial troops. But those colonial troops are simply vulnerable. In the end, we can only rely on our own Army. Once the island countries attack Southeast Asia and Australia with all their strength, we may lose most of the area and only be able to hold on to a small part of the area. We will dispatch troops to support after the European battlefield is decided." Marshal Manstein said.
Although Germany is very powerful, it has made too many enemies, which is undoubtedly a fundamental problem. In addition, Nanyang and Australia are too far away from the German mainland, which limits the investment of German military power. Otherwise, Germany's ongoing second batch of mobilization will undoubtedly further reinforce Nanyang and Australia.
Qin Tian nodded and looked at Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Navy.
"Your Majesty, if the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet fight together, they will not be inferior to the navy of the island nation. We are at a disadvantage in terms of capital ships. The island nation has 12 battleships and four battlecruisers in active service, and there are four other ships equipped with 460 The 'Yamato-class' battleship with a 2.5mm main gun is under construction and will not be in service in the short term. In terms of aircraft carriers, the island country currently only has eight aircraft carriers, and two are light aircraft carriers, two are medium-sized aircraft carriers, and only four are capital ships. The aircraft carrier with modified hull is a large aircraft carrier. The four aircraft carriers equipped in our Pacific Fleet are all "Constellation-class" aircraft carriers, and the four aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean Fleet are "Wilhelm the Great-class" aircraft carriers. In terms of the number of carrier-based aircraft, We are at an advantage. In terms of the performance of the carrier-based aircraft, the overall performance of our carrier-based BF-109 fighter is also higher than that of the Type Zero carrier-based fighter of the Japanese Navy. In view of the excellent air dogfighting performance of the Type Zero carrier-based fighter, The carrier-based aircraft units of the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet have already undergone targeted tactical training. Once the war starts, we will have an advantage in this regard. However, there are still several aircraft carriers under construction in the island navy, and it is estimated that they will soon Will serve. In addition, there are too many advantages that affect the outcome of the naval battle. Whether you can really win depends on the situation at the time. But the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet will definitely do their best to defeat the island navy!" Secretary of the Navy Lei Marshal Del said.
There is no doubt that after more than 20 years of development, the navy of the island country has become stronger again. For the German navy, which cannot hit its full strength, it has already posed a huge threat. Only with the Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy, they have to deal with it carefully.
"If possible, when necessary, the Mediterranean Fleet can be dispatched to the Far East to fight. As for the threat of the Americans, isn't our 'Lord-class' aircraft carrier already in service? Plus the Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet The eight 'Constellation-class' aircraft carriers in China can completely withstand the Americans!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. When necessary, the Mediterranean Fleet can be sent to the Far East to fight." Marshal Raeder said.
The mission of the Mediterranean Fleet is to support operations in two directions. There are no forces that can pose a threat to Germany around the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Fleet can be transferred to other sea areas to fight at any time.
"Marshal Kesselring, the two aviation groups of the Imperial Air Force in Nanyang and Australia must fully support the navy. If the navy can win and keep the islanders out of Nanyang and Australia, it will undoubtedly be the best!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Air Force Minister Albert Kesselring replied.
The 5th Aviation Group of the Imperial Air Force is deployed in Nanyang, and the 6th Aviation Group is deployed in Australia. In addition, the Imperial Air Force is preparing to form another strategic cluster to deploy to the Far East.
"Gentlemen, it is impossible for us to agree to the shameless demands of the islanders. Therefore, this means that there will be a big battle between us and the islanders. The army, sea and air forces deployed in Southeast Asia and the Far East must do a good job. Just prepare for battle," Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.
Although Germany's military strength is unprecedentedly strong, when the main force of the German army attacks Bu Russia, it will soon open up a second battlefield. This is also something that must be taken seriously for Germany. If there is a little carelessness, I am afraid that Germany will pay a heavy price.
"Your Majesty, since the islanders are trying to take advantage of us, can we take this opportunity to cheat the islanders?" Gustav Stresemann said. ,
"Oh? Does the Foreign Minister have any suggestions?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, we can perfunctory the islanders and tell them that the empire agrees with them to join the Allies. However, it is impossible for Nanyang and Australia to give them. They can attack from the far east of Burus to the west. If they can lay down the land of Burus , Those lands will belong to them. At the same time, the empire will provide them with the necessary assistance in terms of resources. After the empire defeats Bu Russia and the United States, it can turn around and deal with the island countries. With the strength of the empire at that time, it is enough They are easily destroyed. Even, the empire can deliberately disclose this news to the Americans. At that time, what kind of reaction the Americans will have, you can guess without even thinking about it." Gustav Stresemann Said.
After hearing this suggestion, Qin Tian immediately laughed. Americans would be furious if they learned that their dog wanted to betray them. Even if they will continue to support the island country in the future, the strength will certainly not be that great. This will be very beneficial to Germany.
"Very well, just do as you want!"
