Vol 6 Chapter 32: , German strategic contraction

　　 On the European battlefield, with the addition of Western Russia and Austria-Hungary, the Germans seemed to have returned to World War I. Third-line combat is not a fun thing.
　　 Even with the support of the British, the Germans are still at a disadvantage. They were all burning the flames of war to France, but now they have to retreat.
　　 The Spanish participated in the war. The advantages of the Holy Alliance on the European continent were too obvious, and the Franco government was naturally unable to resist the temptation.
　　 The eastern and southern lines were attacked by Russia and Austria. The Germans had been pinned down by a large number of troops, and the western line encountered the French and Spanish forces.
　　 Despite the limited strength of the Spaniards, a big country is a big country. Even if the combat power is compromised, the millions of troops are not muddled.
　　 The German Prime Minister said solemnly: "Everyone, the first batch of British reinforcements has arrived, and it won't be long before the reinforcements from the Pan-International Front countries will rush in.
　　We will not fight alone this time. The internal meeting of the Pan-International Front has determined that in the next six months, we will receive at least 1.8 million reinforcements, and within one year, this number can be doubled!
　　 Now I ask you to guard the line of defense, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then launch a counterattack! "
　　 Chief of Staff Guderian frowned and said: "Your Excellency, we have done our best. Since the outbreak of the World War, the supplies promised by the British have been delayed.
　　The submarines of the Holy League raid the Atlantic. The British can no longer guarantee ocean transportation. We will face the embarrassment of insufficient supplies for a long time to come!
　　 Compared with the shortage of supplies, the problem of insufficient military strength is better solved. We can amend the conscription bill and adjust the age of service personnel to 17-58 to alleviate urgent needs! "
　　 The defeat also requires a reason. The German army on the front line is retreating steadily. It must not be because the enemy is too powerful. This argument is politically untenable.
　　 Then, I can only continue to find reasons. Insufficient troops and insufficient supplies. These two excuses are too strong. Either one can be used to explain to the people.
　　 Guderian chose to use insufficient supplies as an excuse, undoubtedly extremely clever.
　　 Insufficient troops, you can still continue to conscript, and you can always expand under the brutal force. Whether these newly expanded troops have combat effectiveness is another matter.
　　 Guderian naturally understood this problem. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he emphasized the supply of strategic materials.
　　 Insufficient strategic materials, the troops naturally have no way to fight. Under this circumstance, a strategic shift is logical.
　　 The Prime Minister frowned and said, "General Guderian, the government is already thinking of a solution for the material problem, but it will take some time.
　　The biggest problem right now is when our troops can stabilize the situation. We have retreated to Belgium on the Western Front, and then we can only rely on the Rhine to defend.
　　The Western Russian army on the eastern front is attacking Poland, and we can only be passively beaten; not to mention, on the southern front, the Austro-Hungarian Empire directly attacked our homeland, and the Bulgarians also showed signs of sending troops.
　　 If we cannot block the enemy’s attack, the flames of war will soon burn into our hinterland, which is very unfavorable for us! "
　　 Guderian thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are also very clear about this issue. The General Staff proposes to abandon Belgium, retreat to the line of the Rhine, and confront the French along the river.
　　 Concentrate superior forces and defeat West Russia first. Their strength is the weakest, they are the easiest to open the gap and get rid of the situation of our third-line combat! "
　　 Give up, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do it. Among other things, morale is a big problem.
　　Secondly, even if they are defending westward and attacking eastward, they are not sure of winning. After losing air supremacy, the shadow of the blitzkrieg was not seen.
　　British goods are not durable, and the airplanes cannot defeat the enemy. After all, the sky belongs to Bulgaria in this era. The Germans have been attacked by the air forces of Bulgaria, France, Austria-Hungary, and West Russia at the same time.
　　The problem is that in terms of army weapons and equipment, the British are also lagging behind. Not only are they inferior to Bulgaria, but even the army powers such as Austria-Hungary and Western Russia are not comparable to them.
　　 The same weapons and equipment produced from the German arsenal are of much better quality than those produced by the British.
　　 The typical pirated version exceeds the original version. Unfortunately, the Germans have limited industrial production capacity and their weapon research and development capabilities are even worse, so they have to rely on the British.
　　 "General Guderian, there is no problem retreating to the Rhine, but you must ensure that the Rhine is guarded. This is our bottom line!" The Prime Minister said very responsible
　　 In the German government of this period, despite the constant internal struggles, when it came to the outside world, everyone was united. They lost once, and now everyone can't afford to lose.
　　 The morale of the German army now is at its highest, fighting for the space to survive, and the original combat effectiveness can be scored twelve points.
　　 When the weapons and equipment are slightly behind and the troops are not superior, the German army can fight against the French army, which is enough to explain the problem.
　　 If it weren't for the participation of Austria-Hungary and Western Russia, they are still fighting against the French!
　　 It is a pity that there is no such thing as reality. The potential of the Germans is too great. If Bulgaria wants to be the hegemon of the world, there can be no major powers on the European continent.
　　On the European continent, there are only four major powers: Austria-Hungary, Western Russia, France, and Germany.
　　 The Austro-Hungarian Empire is a multi-ethnic country. It’s okay to engage in economic development with peace of mind. If you want to develop military hegemony, you should go to sleep!
　　West Russia is not much better, the Soviet Russia next door is still eyeing, and the relationship with East Russia is not good.
　　 And Western Russia and Austria-Hungary are both neighbors of Bulgaria. Geopolitics has determined that they can only farm honestly.
　　 The development potential of the French is indeed great, but now it has been distorted, and it can't hold back that the French people have the most revolutionary spirit. Once France rises, it is good to support the French popular revolution.
　　 The Germans are the only ones who can't deal with it, and they are unswervingly advancing on the road of industrialization. In recent years, the speed of industrial development in Germany has not been lower than 8%. Who will not be attacked?
　　……
　　 "Your Majesty, the Germans have begun to shrink strategically. The western line has withdrawn to the Rhine line, and the southeast line is also fully defending!" Foreign Secretary Coleman frowned and said
　　 Little Ferdinand's face sank, and the Germans shrank. The original plan to use the war on the European continent to consume the power of the British was no longer feasible.
　　There is the Rhine River barrier. The French can't break through in the short term, and Western Russia and Austria-Hungary can't fight to death. Can't Bulgaria send troops to fight the Germans?
　　 "The Germans have undergone a strategic contraction, so the next step is to see our battle with Britain!" Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said
　　 Prime Minister Torsky analyzed: "Your Majesty, we have also considered this situation. The French, Austria-Hungary, and Western Russia certainly cannot cooperate sincerely. The success rate of relying on them to consume the strength of the British is not high.
　　The most important thing now is the African battlefield. Once we occupy the British colony of South Africa, the situation in Asia will inevitably change.
　　 We attacked India from Persia, Eastern Russia attacked India from Central Asia, plus the Japanese from the Far East ~EbookFREE.me~ The British would definitely not be able to hold on.
　　Without these two colonies, the finances of the British Empire would collapse, and the British Commonwealth should be dissolved! "
　　 "Well, but this is not enough. At this time, we should bomb the British Isles and the Irish Independent Organization, and we should move!" Little Ferdinand thought for a while.
　　 The plan to bomb the British Isles has long existed. Historically, the Germans could bomb London, and the British were unable to even supply supplies.
　　 Now the Holy League is not to mention. The biggest advantage is that the Balkans are far enough from the British Isles. The Bulgarians can bombard them unscrupulously, but the British cannot retaliate.
　　 At most, they can only use the French and Spaniards to vent their anger, or bomb the colony of Bulgaria, which will not hurt Bulgaria's core interests.
　　Can the British stick to it? Bulgaria is not a German. There are a lot of allies, so you don't have to worry about singles out.
　　 Now Little Ferdinand has enough air force to bomb the British Isles, and the Holy Alliance also has to contribute. Even if it is the existence of soy sauce, one hundred and eighty pilots can come out, right?
　　 did not make a contribution, how can you share the spoils? Bulgaria is not doing charity. If you want to honor the promised spoils, you still have to speak on the battlefield!
