Jagged Germany: Chapter 373 Landing plan seeking monthly pass
After Germany and Russia signed the "Brest Treaty", William II was very satisfied. He also never thought that he could actually get the Russians to sign such a harsh treaty. You know, after losing these territories, Russia is equivalent to losing the most essence of the country. This will make Russia's strength drop by another level. As for Germany, if it can digest this part of Russia's territory, its national strength will be greatly increased. These will become the capital for Germany to dominate Europe and the entire world.
Germany has the most powerful industrial strength and the strongest military strength in the world. In terms of technology, it is even ahead of the world. The only thing restricting the development of Germany is undoubtedly Germany's resources. Except for coal, Germany itself lacked almost all resources. This makes Germany strong, but if it falls into a protracted war, it will soon be dragged to death. If the resource problem can be solved, this will bring Germany's national strength to another level.
"Oscar, very good, very good!" William II applauded. He is very satisfied with the complete success of Qin Tian's strategy toward Russia. Although, at first, he still had some doubts about handing over all the power to fight against Russia to Qin Tian. On the one hand, Qin Tian is too young. On the other hand, compared to the mighty Russia, Qin Tian's strength is really too weak. But precisely because of this, Qin Tian still won the victory, which naturally made William II feel incredible. At the same time, this also made William II more optimistic about Qin Tian's talent. He felt more and more that it was an extremely wise decision to make Qin Tian the crown prince of the empire. Otherwise, the German Empire would never have achieved such great achievements in this war.
Indeed, William II's evaluation of Qin Tian has become very high. He knew very well how much the entire empire had changed under Qin Tian's influence. Under the leadership of Qin Tian, the Imperial Navy surpassed the British Royal Navy in strength, allowing them to gain an advantage in this decisive battle at sea. It is not impossible to defeat the British Navy in the future and achieve the final victory in naval battles. The strength of the Imperial Army has been greatly improved due to the new weapons developed by Qin Tian's arms company. Although, because of strategic issues, the German army did not make a breakthrough on the Western Front. But William II believes that in this spring, they will be able to make a breakthrough.
What satisfied William II the most was undoubtedly Qin Tian's series of actions against Russia. He was not optimistic before, but he did not expect such a big success this time. Let them directly destroy an extremely powerful opponent in the war. You must know that Russia's strength is among the great powers, although it is not the top. But their huge army is undoubtedly a headache. Now, Russia, a hostile country, has been directly brought down, which makes the German Empire lose a major enemy all of a sudden. In this war, their advantage is naturally even greater.
William II became more confident about future wars. He believes that Russia's victory in the next war is almost a certainty.
This made William II smug, and he couldn't wait to become the emperor of all Europe.
"Father, this is what I should do. All of this was realized under Father's wise leadership. If Father hadn't laid the foundation for me long ago, I would not have succeeded! "For these achievements, Qin Tian is not proud at all. After all, these credits don't have much effect at all. If William II's suspicion and dissatisfaction are aroused because of the high merits, it will be truly fatal.
"Well, everyone. Now that Russia has collapsed, we have gained so many benefits from Russia. Next, our focus should be on the Western Front. This year, we must win on the Western Front. End the war this year, if possible!" William II said.
If the war can end within a year and a half, it will not have much impact on Germany. If the time is too long, even if Germany finally wins the war, its economy and national strength will be greatly affected. At that time, it will take a long time to recover. This is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for Germany.
"Yes, Father. Our goal this year is to win on the Western Front. At least France must be defeated. If the British can surrender after France is defeated, the war may end within this year. If If the British choose to hold back, then we may have to land in England." Qin Tian said.
"Landing in England?" William II couldn't help frowning. One of the main reasons why the United Kingdom can become a maritime hegemon is because they are isolated overseas and do not border the European continent. This also makes the United Kingdom only need to strengthen the development of the navy to ensure the interests and security of the country. Other powerful countries in Europe have to spend huge sums of money on the construction of the army, because there are many powerful countries on the European continent, without a strong army, it is impossible to guarantee the security of the country.
As for the powerful countries on the European continent, if they want to threaten the security of the United Kingdom, they must defeat the powerful Royal Navy. There is hardly any country that can maintain a strong army while also possessing a navy that surpasses the Royal Navy. If it weren't for the existence of Qin Tian, a heaven-defying bug, Germany would not be able to do this.
It is precisely because of this that Britain has been able to face countless threats and survive them safely. Neither the Spaniards nor the Dutch, nor the later Napoleon the Great, nor Hitler in another time and space, were able to finally defeat Britain.
"Yes, Father. If the British are still unwilling to surrender in the end, in order to win the final victory, we have to launch a landing operation against the United Kingdom and defeat them in one fell swoop!" Qin Tian said.
"If we land in England and fight, can we win?" William II asked.
"Of course, father. If the imperial navy can defeat the British navy, do you think that the British pocket army can be the opponent of the imperial army?" Qin Tian asked back.
"Haha! The British will never be our opponents." William II immediately laughed.
