BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1203: Powerful Enemy (9th)
Compared with Bu Russia, the overall strength of the island country is undoubtedly slightly weaker. However, the island country now has a population of 70 to 80 million, so that if they carry out extreme mobilization, they can arm more than 6 million troops. In addition, the islanders have always been fierce in war, and their fighting will is tenacious. This time, it has received the power support of the United States, making the military strength of the island country even stronger. Therefore, the threat of the island nation should not be underestimated either. When Germany is doing its best to defeat Bu Russia, the island countries will inevitably launch attacks on Germany\'s colonies in the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The strategy of the German Supreme Command is still to use a small number of troops to cooperate with the navy and air force to deal with the island countries in the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Even if some colonies are lost, I don\'t care. As long as it can be delayed for a longer time until Germany defeats Bu Russia, it will be able to free up its hands to deal with them.
As for Britain, the world hegemon before the last world war. Although there is still some background, it is far from being comparable to that before the last world war. The current British government is just huddled in Canada, lingering under the protection of the Americans. Even so, they have to share their achievements in scientific research with the United States in exchange for protection from the United States. In terms of military strength, the British Army can arm more than one million people at most, and the strength of the British Navy and Air Force is not strong. It can be said that among the many powerful countries, Britain has completely declined. Unless this time the anti-German alliance can win, defeat Germany, and let the British regain their homeland. In this case, with the help of tens of millions of native citizens and some colonies that may be recovered, Britain may have a chance to rise again. But even in that case, I am afraid that they will miss the world hegemony. Of course, that would be much better than the current situation in the UK.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we have obtained, the island nation\'s military mobilization has indeed begun. A large number of young men are being recruited into the army, and divisions have been established one by one. Their naval ships are also undergoing maintenance, according to the progress It will be completed soon. We all think that this may be a harbinger of the island nation\'s participation in the war!" Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian nodded: "Bu Russia is being beaten so badly by us now, the Americans are hiding behind and are unwilling to participate in the war first. Then, they can only order other countries. Island countries have always been supported by the United States , has become a dog raised by the Americans. Under such circumstances, of course they have to follow the instructions of the Americans and start a war against us. However, are we ready in Southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific Ocean?"
"Your Majesty, the four armies of the Imperial Army are ready. We have deployed heavy troops in Southeast Asia and Australia. We have also recruited local aborigines and formed a group of colonial troops. Even if they are attacked by heavy troops from island countries, they can still It will last for a long time. At least with the support of the navy and air force, we can hold on to some strategic locations until the victory is determined on the Russian battlefield!" Marshal Manstein said.
"The Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet, are you ready for war? If you can severely damage the navy of the island country, or defeat them, then the navy of the island country will not dare to act rashly." Qin Tian said.
"Your Majesty, both the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet are ready for battle. The Pacific Fleet has now left its home port and is heading for Australia. Once the war starts, they will cooperate with the Pacific Fleet to fight. Looking for fighters in the Pacific to defeat the island navy\'s plan Opportunity. The navy will do its best to defeat the navy of the island country. Even if the navy of the island country is very powerful, if the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet join forces, they will still be no weaker than them. We will still have a great chance of winning!" Secretary of the Navy Raeder said the Marshal.
Qin Tian nodded, although the German Navy still has a strategic reserve force, that is, the Mediterranean Fleet that can be sent to fight in the Pacific Ocean. However, now is not the time. The powerful U.S. navy is almost all assembled in the Atlantic Ocean, which puts tremendous pressure on the German home fleet and the Atlantic Fleet. If the Mediterranean Fleet goes to the Pacific Ocean, it will definitely reassure the US Navy a lot. Although, the German Navy\'s home fleet plus the Atlantic Fleet, several "Lord-class" aircraft carriers that have already been built, also have the strength to fight the US Navy. But overall, the risks are high. The security of the Atlantic Ocean, at least the control of the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, is very important to Germany. Only by mastering the command of the sea here can the security of Germany and even Europe as a whole be ensured. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem here. Therefore, as a reserve, the Mediterranean Fleet cannot be easily transferred unless it is absolutely necessary.
Qin Tian only hopes that the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet can display sufficient combat effectiveness this time. In this case, it may be possible to succeed. After all, the four "Constellation-class" aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet are not weak, and the "William the Great-class" aircraft carriers of the Indian Ocean Fleet are no worse than the aircraft carriers of the island navy. In terms of the number of aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier and the performance of the carrier-based aircraft, the German Navy has an advantage. Therefore, the German Navy\'s Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet may not have no chance of winning.
