Jagged Germany

"Your Majesty, the empire will destroy the island nation within half a year. If nuclear weapons are not considered, the empire will have to further increase its troops on the Nanyang battlefield. Otherwise, with the troops currently deployed by the empire in Nanyang, it will not be possible at all. It is possible to defeat the island nation," Marshal Manstein said.

  Qin Tian nodded and looked at Marshal Lundstedt.

   "What's the current situation in Nanyang and Australia?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, the empire now has a total of six armies in Nanyang, the Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, and the Air Force's 5th, 6th, and 7th aviation groups. Generally speaking, relying on these armies can only withstand the island country's army and Naval offensive. If you want to counterattack and wipe out the troops sent by the island countries to Southeast Asia and Australia, it is far from enough." Marshal Lundstedt said.

  After receiving large-scale reinforcements, the strength of the southern army of the island country has been extremely inflated. The divisions, corps, and fronts that were wiped out one by one by the German army on the battlefield have been rebuilt. In addition, the island country army also transferred a lot of troops from other general armies to reinforce the southern army. This makes the total strength of the Southern Army close to 3 million people, which can be called the most powerful total army in the island country army.

Now, the troops under the jurisdiction of the Southern Army of the island country include the Philippine Front Army, the Lanyin Front Army, the 7th Front Army, the 14th Front Army, the 18th Front Army, the 5th Front Army, the 8th Front Army, the 10th Front Army, the 2nd Army, the 18th Army, the 37th Army, 38th Army, 4th Army, 31st Army and 34th Army. A total of 8 front armies and 7 armies. The strength of each front and army of the Japanese Army is different. Some fronts and armies have hundreds of thousands of troops, while others have only 20,000 to 30,000 troops. However, the total strength of the troops under the entire southern army has reached more than two hundred and nearly three million.

  However, in the previous battles, many troops under the Southern Army were wiped out by the Germans in the battle of Borneo. These troops are now being reorganized, but with the exception of a very small number of main troops, most of them are recruits. Compared with the previous elite veterans, the combat effectiveness is relatively poor. This is why the German army was able to rely on the six armies to resist the attack of the island country army in the Indochina Peninsula and Australia.

  In addition to the army, the island country army aviation also deployed the entire four air armies in Nanyang and Australia to confront the German air force. It's just that, regardless of the number or performance of fighters, and the quality of pilots, the island nation's army air force is at a disadvantage. Even in order to support the island country, the Americans transferred the production technology of the P-47 fighter jet and the P-51 fighter jet to the island country. The Japanese army has also begun to replace these two types of aircraft on a large scale. However, it is still not the opponent of the Luftwaffe.

  The strength of the island nation's navy has also become larger. In terms of capital ships, there are still eight capital ships left in the island navy, namely the battleships 'Yamashiro', the battleships 'Mutsu', the battleships 'Kaga' and the battleships 'Takao' that were damaged in the previous naval battle. cruiser. The other four are the latest four Yamato-class battleships in service. This brought the battleship formation of the Japanese Navy back to its heyday. Although the number is not as good as before, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. In particular, the four 'Yamato-class' battleships are known as the most powerful battleships in the world.

   In terms of aircraft carriers, the navies of the island countries have also been greatly improved. Two 'Xianghe-class' aircraft carriers, six 'Yunlong-class' aircraft carriers, 'Taifeng' aircraft carrier, two 'Xiangfeng-class' light aircraft carriers, 'Longfeng' light aircraft carriers, and two 'Qiantui-class' light aircraft carriers. In addition, in terms of aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships, the navy of the island country has also done its best. Now there are 7 modified aircraft carriers in service, namely two "Flying Eagle" aircraft carriers, three "Daying" light aircraft carriers, the "Shenying" light aircraft carrier and the "Sea Eagle" aircraft carrier.

  If all these aircraft carriers are added up, the island navy will have a full 21 aircraft carriers alone. Compared with the 8 aircraft carriers of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, it is much more. Of course, the eight aircraft carriers of the German Navy are all large aircraft carriers, especially the two "Lord God" aircraft carriers supplemented by the aircraft carrier formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet, which can carry 120 carrier-based aircraft, and one can support several ships The light aircraft carrier of the island navy.

  However, the domestic shipyards in the island country are still rushing to build more aircraft carriers. There are as many as ten subsequent ships built for the 'Yunlong-class' aircraft carrier. As a large aircraft carrier, the "Gai Taifeng-class" aircraft carrier also built five ships at one time. Moreover, in the case of three shifts, the construction progress of these aircraft carriers is very fast. Perhaps in the near future, these aircraft carriers will be able to serve. If the war drags on to that time, the navy of the island country will have even stronger power. If the German navy wants to defeat the island navy, I am afraid it will have to pay a greater price.

  Of course, after the German Navy has solved the US Navy, it has no opponents in the Atlantic Ocean, and it can send reinforcements to fight in the South China Sea and Australian waters at any time. In this case, the German navy can completely form an overwhelming advantage over the island nation's navy.

  Coupled with the advantages of the German navy in terms of carrier-based aircraft performance, there is no problem in completely suppressing the island navy and defeating them.

   Qin Tian looked at Marshal Manstein after learning about the strength of the island country's army and navy, as well as the battle situation in Southeast Asia and Australia.

   "Marshal Manstein, is the General Staff ready to send additional reinforcements to the Far East?" Qin Tian asked.

   "Your Majesty, a plan to send additional reinforcements has been drawn up." Marshal Manstein said.

"The Imperial Army plans to send 14 additional armies to the Far East, making the Imperial Army's troops in the Far East reach 20 armies. The additional troops are the 3rd Army, the 4th Army, the 7th Army, the 13th Army, and the 16th Army. 19th Army, 25th Army, 27th Army, 28th Army, 29th Army, 31st Army, 33rd Army, 35th Army and 36th Army.

  The Imperial Navy will send the Atlantic Fleet to expedition to the Far East.

  The Imperial Air Force will send the 1st Aviation Group, the 2nd Aviation Group, the 8th Aviation Group, the 1st Strategic Aviation Group, the 2nd Strategic Aviation Group and the 3rd Strategic Aviation Group to the Far East. "Marshal Manstein introduced.

  Qin Tian nodded, expressing his satisfaction with this reinforcement plan.
