The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 1081

Of course, the Celestial Empire can make its own decision by agreeing to the entry of the British army.

However, President Jiang is very smart. He knows that the Celestial Empire can maintain the current situation, and it cannot do without the support of the Third Reich. So after he discussed and confirmed this matter with the Celestial Empire, he sent a telegram to Europe.

In the name of seeking the opinion of the head of state, he told the Third Reich about this matter. After receiving this telegram from President Jiang, Mainz sighed that President Jiang would behave, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the group of people in the Sun Never Sets have realized the goodwill he has released!

The Middle East is very important to the Third Reich in the future, but at present, the Third Reich does not need it here, so withdrawing troops from here will make the Sun Never Set feel at ease, and then they can free up their hands to fight with the foot basin in the east. This is what he wants to achieve!

As the only ally of the Third Reich in the Far East, the Celestial Empire cooperates with the Sun Never Sets to fight against the foot basin, which is a good thing for both the Celestial Empire and the Sun Never Sets.

However, the Celestial Empire is a quasi-ally of the Third Reich, and the British Empire is a belligerent of the Third Reich. If the two countries with such a relationship reach a cooperation agreement in private, the Third Reich will inevitably have some ideas.

At this time, if you want to achieve this goal and cannot worry about the Third Reich’s ideas, you can only inform the Third Reich of this matter!

Although Principal Jiang is nominally seeking the opinion and guidance of the head of state, Mainz understands that Principal Jiang and the Celestial Empire should have confirmed the cooperation with the British Empire, so he cannot stop it at this moment.

Although if he really stops the cooperation between the two countries, the Celestial Empire may really refuse this cooperation for his sake, but in this case, the Celestial Empire will inevitably be dissatisfied with the Third Reich and the head of state, because this is actually interfering in the internal affairs of the Celestial Empire!

Any country cares very much about its own sovereignty. Even if it is a protectorate or puppet state of a big country, they are eager to be respected by a powerful country in their hearts. No one likes to be ordered around by others!

The Celestial Empire is an ancient country with a five-thousand-year-old civilization. For such a country, the national pride deep in the hearts of its citizens is unimaginable in other countries, so their longing and sensitivity for the status of a great power are also extraordinary!

When dealing with such a country, even if the strength is superior to theirs, you can’t put on a big country’s posture to order or interfere with them to do anything, because doing so will definitely make them feel uncomfortable! Mainz knew this very well.

Principal Jiang’s telegram was just a procedure. In fact, he must have made a decision in his heart, so his opinion is not very important!

“What a cunning man!”

Mainz sneered, a little dissatisfied with Principal Jiang’s little tricks.

But it doesn’t matter. From the perspective of the Third Reich’s own interests, he is happy to see the Celestial Empire and the British Empire join forces, because this can help the Third Reich hold back the Foot Basin! Mainz was a little curious. If the Foot Basin people learned of this news, what would be their reaction?

“Damn it! This damned British people actually colluded with the Chinese!”

“This is not good. In order to attack Australia, we have already drawn a large number of troops from the battlefield in China. Now we are on the defensive. Facing the increasingly powerful Chinese army with a large amount of weapons assistance from the Third Reich, we are already under great pressure. If we add the 500,000 elite troops of the British Empire, I am afraid that the situation on the battlefield in China will lose balance!”

The Japanese army, especially the army headquarters, is very worried about the situation on the battlefield in China!

Because the industrial strength of the foot basin is not as good as that of other powers, the war mobilization of the foot basin is not thorough. Although their mobilization is very strong, due to the limitations and weak industrial strength, the number of troops they can arm is not as good as other countries!

For example, the traditional industrial powers in Europe, the population of the Third Reich is about 85 million. With the industrial strength of the Third Reich, they can mobilize more than 14 million soldiers to participate in the war, which is almost 20% of the national population. This is the limit of what can be mobilized in war!

Excluding women, the elderly and children, at least 60% of the adult men aged 18-50 in the Third Reich will be mobilized to join the army.

And relying on the strong industrial strength, even if there are only 40% of young and middle-aged laborers, it can still maintain the empire’s war machine and ensure the production of various necessary living materials. The empire’s war machine can barely keep running!

The situation of Gaul and the British Empire in the west is similar!

After the war broke out, Gaul, with a population of less than 40 million, mobilized 6 million troops to serve in a very short period of time. Regardless of this, How is the combat effectiveness of these armies? Just this mobilization ability and the maintenance of six million troops while the country and society can still maintain normal operation fully demonstrates the strength of Gaul!

And what about the foot basin?

With a population of nearly 60 million, the number of troops mobilized in the war is less than 5 million. This mobilization ability is not even comparable to the Third Reich, not to mention Gaul!

In this case, after opening up multiple battlefields, if one battlefield wants to launch an attack, the other battlefield must be on the defensive, because the troops participating in the attack are likely to be drawn from another battlefield, and a large number of them are drawn from the other battlefield. The kind that needs to be withdrawn at a high rate!

Moreover, as the battle line continues to expand, the more territory the Japanese army controls, the more places they need to deploy troops to garrison and protect, which results in them being able to mobilize fewer and fewer troops for attack and defense!

The progress of the Celestial Empire’s army in recent years is obvious to all. If the British army is assisted, the situation in the Celestial Empire will immediately become bad. If things go wrong, the Celestial Empire and the British allied forces will counterattack and take back all the territory that the Japanese army has finally conquered!

If this result really happens, then all the efforts before the foot basin will be in vain!

“However, the battle in Australia has now entered a critical stage. No matter what, Australia’s actions cannot be abandoned at this time!”

“If occupying the Celestial Empire is our hope for conquering the world in the future, then annexing Australia is the basis for us to occupy the Celestial Empire. Only by swallowing up Australia and strengthening our industrial strength can we become stronger and complete the conquest of the Celestial Empire. Therefore, the actions in Australia must never be stopped!”

“However, if this is the case, the battlefield of the Celestial Empire may……”
