Iron Germany

"Marshal Manstein, the main task of the empire in 1940 was to defeat Bu Russia and completely defeat them. However, this does not mean that the empire does not care about other battlefields. On the Pacific battlefield, the empire and the island countries have already fought Yes. Although the island countries have the home court advantage in the Pacific battlefield, our troops deployed in the Pacific seem to be performing very well. Although we cannot send the main force to the Pacific in a short period of time, we must The Pacific will maintain the battle. After we have won the victory in Europe and other battlefields, we will increase our troops in the Pacific and defeat the islanders in one fell swoop!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have been paying attention to the Pacific battlefield. The island navy did not take advantage of the Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, but suffered heavy losses. Similarly, on the Borneo battlefield, the southern army of the island army , also suffered heavy losses in the battle with the 23rd Army of the Imperial Army. Therefore, it can be clearly seen from these situations that the combat effectiveness of the island * army is weaker than we imagined. With the military forces deployed by the Empire in the Pacific region, It shouldn't be a big problem if you stick to it. However, I'm afraid it will lose some ground." Marshal Manstein said.

Qin Tian nodded: "It doesn't matter if you lose some territory. As long as the empire can occupy some territory in Nanyang and Australia, we can free up our hands and fight back. By that time, the empire's large-scale increase of troops in the Pacific Ocean will be enough to crush the islanders. !"

With Germany's current strength, Qin Tian didn't regard the island country as a big threat at all. After all, although the island country can be regarded as one of the powerful countries, compared with Germany, the world hegemon, the gap is still too large. If it weren't for the fact that the mainland of Germany is too far away from the Pacific Ocean, Germany would have perished as an island country long ago. After Germany has won or gained an advantage in other battlefields, it can mobilize troops to increase its troops in the Pacific at any time, so as to win the final victory.

"Your Majesty, the army, navy and air force of the Empire will also send some reinforcements to the Pacific battlefield as appropriate." Marshal Manstein continued.

"In addition to the island countries, the empire must also pay special attention to the Americans this year! I think that the Americans will never watch the empire perish this year. Therefore, we must prepare early. The Americans are extremely It is possible to start a war against the empire this year!" Qin Tian reminded.

The expressions of Marshal Manstein and others couldn't help becoming serious. After all, to some extent, the United States is undoubtedly Germany's biggest enemy. The barrier of the Atlantic Ocean makes it difficult for Germany to deploy its military power to the United States, posing a real threat to the United States. At the same time, the strong industrial strength and huge population of the United States enable the United States to possess extremely powerful military strength. Although it cannot be compared with Germany, it is enough to pose a relatively large threat to Germany. Although, also blocked by the Atlantic Ocean, even if the United States goes to war with Germany, it will not be able to threaten the European continent for a while. However, the pressure on the Imperial Navy may be very high.

"About the United States, you don't have to worry about it for the time being. The Imperial Navy will resist the American attack. Before defeating the Imperial Navy, the Americans cannot threaten the European continent. Therefore, the Imperial Army and Air Force must hurry up and hit hard this year. Bu Russia, let the empire gain a decisive advantage on the Bu Russia battlefield. Only in this way can the empire calmly deal with the threat of the Americans!" Qin Tian continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the marshals and generals replied.

That afternoon, Emperor Qin Tian summoned several marshals and important generals of the Imperial Navy in the palace, including Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Imperial Navy, Marshal Doenitz, Commander of the Submarine Force of the Imperial Navy, and Marshal Lütjens, Commander of the Imperial Home Fleet. , Admiral Rolf Karls, commander of the Imperial Atlantic Fleet, Admiral Herman Boehm, commander of the Imperial Mediterranean Fleet.

The reason why these admirals and generals were summoned separately is that on the one hand, the navy is basically of no help on the Bu-Russia battlefield. On the other hand, it is because in this year's war, the combat mission of the Imperial Navy is also very important.

"Everyone, I have said before that this year will be a critical year for the Empire. This is not just for the Imperial Army and Air Force. The same is true for the Navy. Therefore, I hope that the Empire The navy will be able to make preparations for the empire in this year!" Qin Tian said solemnly.

The admirals and generals of the navy are also very aware of what will happen this year. They are all ready. Even, this has already been very much looking forward to.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy is ready. If any enemy dares to launch a war against the Empire, the Imperial Navy will definitely be able to defeat them, defend the Empire's maritime interests, and win the final victory for the Empire!" said Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Navy.

Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. Since the Imperial Navy defeated the British Navy in the last war and became the supremacy of the sea, the strength of the Imperial Navy has surpassed the whole world. Now, despite the challenges of the U.S. Navy and the island nation's navy, the overall strength of the Imperial Navy is still stronger than them. Therefore, the imperial navy has a very high chance of winning this war.

"On the Pacific battlefield, the Imperial Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have already defeated the attack of the island nation's navy. However, the island nation's navy is rapidly recovering its strength, which cannot be underestimated. Tell the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet whether the Empire can hold the Pacific Ocean On the battlefield, it depends on whether they can withstand the attack of the island nation's navy." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder nodded.

"Then, the most critical battle is undoubtedly the Atlantic Ocean. According to the analysis of the Empire, the United States is likely to go to war against the Empire this year. Then, the Imperial Navy will undoubtedly become the first target of the Americans. Even, the United States It is very likely that people will adopt a conspiracy to attack the imperial navy first and then declare war. Therefore, the mission of the imperial navy in the Atlantic Ocean is very important." Qin Tian continued.

Marshal Lütjens, the commander of the Home Fleet, and Admiral Rolf Karls, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, all looked dignified. Once the empire and the United States go to war, the navy will become the most important force. In particular, their two fleets will become the main force against the US Navy. The strength of the Mediterranean Fleet is relatively weak, so it can only be used as a supplement.
