Jagged Germany: Chapter 829 Military reform seeking monthly ticket
The German Army Chief of Staff quickly drew up an attack plan for the British colonies. According to the plan, two to three group armies will be dispatched to attack the British colonies.
The 3rd Army, with the assistance of the navy, will land in South Africa, and then attack all the way north, penetrating the whole of Africa. Britain no longer has many troops in Africa. Although there are still some indigenous troops, their combat effectiveness is not strong. A group army, with the support of the navy, would not have much problem defeating the British army in Africa.
The 8th Army will land in Egypt, then attack Dongdong, and go all the way to India through the Middle East. If necessary, the 4th Army will also participate in this offensive to ensure that all the British colonies can be taken.
In addition, the Imperial Marines will also launch an attack on the British Straits Settlements.
Qin Tian approved this battle plan. In his opinion, the attack on the British colony would not be a big problem. Although Britain fled to Canada to survive. But their armies are basically gone. Even hastily forming an army in the colonies to fight against the Germans. However, it is impossible for those mobs to resist the powerful German army no matter how you look at it. The powerful German army is enough to crush them.
Qin Tian didn't let the army attack immediately. No matter what, they just finished the European war, and they also need time to rest and reunite with their families and so on.
So, Qin Tian can get the army ready to attack in February and March next year.
Next, Qin Tian focused on military reform. Although, the strength of the current German army is number one in the world. However, Qin Tian did not become proud because of this. He knows that the next few decades will be the time when technology advances by leaps and bounds. This will have a huge impact on the army and war. If the German army cannot seize this opportunity and become stronger, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to say whether Germany can win the next war. If Germany is defeated because of this, then all previous efforts will be in vain.
The giants of the Imperial Army and Navy are also very aware of this. In fact, everyone has already expected it. After the war, it is naturally impossible to keep so many troops. Otherwise, it will be a huge burden on the country's finances.
As far as the military system of the German army is concerned, this has always been the case. In times of peace, only a small standing army is kept. When the war breaks out, use the efficient mobilization mechanism to mobilize a sufficiently strong force in the shortest possible time. Germany is very familiar with this set.
The generals are not unfamiliar with this. So they have no problem with disarmament or not. Of course, they also believe that the territory of the empire has now expanded, and there are still a large number of overseas colonies. Even in order to preserve these interests, the size of the empire's army should be a little stronger than before the war broke out.
On November 24, Imperial Emperor Qin Tian presided over a military reform conference at the General Staff.
"Everyone, in the past wars, the Imperial Army, Navy, and Army Air Corps made great efforts to win the war for the Empire. At the same time, they also made great sacrifices. Without the desperate fighting of the army, we are It is impossible to win this war!" Qin Tian said solemnly.
The generals present here all looked happy. It is undoubtedly their honor that the Emperor of the Empire is well aware of their achievements.
"However, although the Empire won this war, the Empire's military strength has always been considered the number one in the world. However, everyone must not be complacent because of this. Otherwise, the current fate of the British Empire is a lesson from the past!" Qin Tian reminded. He didn't want his marshals and generals to become supercilious. In that case, he would have to worry about whether Germany could win the next war.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.
After seeing everyone's expressions, Qin Tian continued: "The ultimate goal of military reform is only one, and that is to further enhance the military power of the empire. Only in this way can the empire win and defend our world in future wars." The position of the overlord!"
"Your Majesty, the army supports your majesty's military reform. No matter what kind of request your majesty has, the army will accept it!" Marshal von Tifalkenhain expressed his position on behalf of the army.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy is the same!" Marshal von Tirpitz also said.
Lieutenant General Zeckert's Army Air Force naturally has no objections. After all, the Army Air Corps is about to change into the Air Force. The current scale cannot be reduced, it will only expand further. Therefore, he doesn't have to worry about being disarmed or anything like that.
Qin Tian nodded. With his current prestige, no one in Germany can question any of his decisions. Even these military giants can only obey his orders.
"Everyone can understand this, it is naturally the best." Qin Tian is still very satisfied with everyone's performance. This proves that his control over the imperial army is very good.
"Next, let's start announcing the reform plan for each military branch!" Qin Tian continued.
First of all, it is naturally about the reform of the Imperial Army. In any case, the Army is the big brother of all German military services. No matter in terms of the size of the troops or the strength, this is well deserved. After all, for a long time, Germany and even the former Kingdom of Prussia were founded by the army. Without a strong army, the Kingdom of Prussia might have been destroyed, let alone unify Germany and now dominate the world.
The second is the reform of the Imperial Navy. Although the Imperial Navy was established later than the Imperial Army, it has become truly number one in the world after defeating the Royal Navy that has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years. Under such circumstances, the reform of the Imperial Navy is undoubtedly very important. The most fundamental point is that the reform of the Imperial Navy must not damage the strength of the Imperial Navy. Only in this way can the overseas interests of the empire be guaranteed.
Finally, it is about the Imperial Army Air Forces. The Imperial Army Air Force will officially change its name this time, become independent from the army, become the Imperial Air Force, and become the third independent military branch of the German Empire.
