    January 4, the day after the outbreak of the world war, Germany¡¯s general mobilization also began!  A large number of young people began to enlist in the army, and infantry battalions began to be formed one by one, and then these infantry battalions were formed into infantry divisions and armored divisions!

    Before the war broke out, Germany was ready!  In the past few years, although Germany has focused mainly on economic recovery, it has not fallen behind in military preparations!  Major arsenals have received a large number of orders, and the light and heavy weapons produced are piled up in warehouses!  Large arsenals such as Krupp and Rheinmetall have built many large warehouses across the country specifically to store these weapons!

    Germany is the leader of the Holy Alliance. In addition to arming itself, it must also support its allies!  Russia, in particular, urgently needs support from Germany to be able to exert its greatest combat power!  Although Russia has a large population, it can mobilize a maximum of eight million troops!  However, with Russia's already very backward industry and its industries that have been hit hard one after another, it is simply impossible to arm these eight million troops!  Therefore, Germany's aid is very important at this moment!  If we cannot provide the Russian Army with enough weapons and let these Russians go to the battlefield with bare hands, then they will simply die!  Don't say that Russia will not agree, nor will Germany!  If these high-quality soldiers are wasted like this, it will be even more difficult for the Holy Alliance to defeat China!  In the last world war, two or more Russian soldiers shared the same rifle. In this world war, it happened.  It will never happen again!

    The war has just begun, but Germany¡¯s military operations have already begun!  As for the army, Germany has assembled more than 800,000 troops and is invading the Austro-Hungarian Empire!  And successfully made the various states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire choose neutrality, which made Germany only have to deal with the Kingdom of Austria!  From the perspective of the German army, 800,000 troops were used to deal with the Kingdom of Austria.  That is undoubtedly something that can be easily achieved!

    The German Air Force¡¯s sneak attack was also successful!  However, Kaiser Wilhelm II was somewhat dissatisfied with the price paid by the Air Force this time!  China's confirmed result was the shooting down of more than 400 fighter jets and more than 300 bombers of the German Air Force!  In fact, the Luftwaffe's losses were far greater than this!  Many Luftwaffe fighters and bombers were injured during the battle, but  These planes are still struggling to return!  However, on the way back, many planes failed to hold on and crashed.  A small number of others struggled to return to the airport, but the aircraft was seriously damaged and could no longer continue fighting!

    "Your Majesty! In this air strike, the Air Force successfully destroyed most of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force's airports in Ireland and Sicily. It will take at least a month or even longer for the Chinese to repair these airports!  However, during the air strikes on Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily, we encountered strong counterattacks from the Chinese, and only about half of the targets were destroyed! According to our preliminary estimates, during this air strike.  The Chinese have more than 500 fighter jets and more than 300 bombers!" German Air Force Commander General Schulz reported to Kaiser Wilhelm II!  However, their results statistics clearly show a certain amount of water!

    "Where are our losses?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked with a frown.  The air strikes on the island of Ireland and the Channel Islands were undoubtedly successful, but the air strikes on several important islands in the Mediterranean cannot be considered a success!

    "Your Majesty, in this air strike, we lost 500 fighter jets and more than 400 bombers! More than 900 pilots died and were missing!" General Schultz replied bravely!  for the Luftwaffe.  This loss is indeed quite heavy!  It is almost equivalent to one-third of the strength of the German Air Force!

    "Such a big loss? Your Excellency General, we adopted a sudden attack, but the loss is still so big? Can this be considered a victory?" Crown Prince William said with some dissatisfaction!  You know, this time Germany has been accused of undeclared war!  The result achieved was so small.  From this point of view, it seems that Germany is not worthy of such a reputation!

    "Your Highness! In addition to destroying Chinese fighter planes, we also destroyed many Chinese airports! Calculated in this way, our results are not small!" Admiral Schultz retorted!  He knew that the German Air Force had tried its best and it was not easy to achieve such results!  Moreover, this was due to the sneak attack of the Luftwaffe. If this were not the case, the Luftwaffe might not have been able to achieve such results even at a greater cost!

    "Your Highness! The fighter jets equipped by the Imperial Air Force are fighting against the main force of the Chinese Air Force.The machine gap is too big!  Our biplane fighters are far inferior to the Chinese fighters in terms of maneuverability, climb rate and firepower!  Therefore, once there is a fight, our air force will be completely at a disadvantage!  If no more advanced fighters enter service, it may be difficult for us to defeat the Chinese Air Force head-on!  "Lieutenant General Joannis von Zeckert, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, also explained! It's not that the German Air Force doesn't work hard, but that the gap between the two sides is too big!

    "When will the new fighter planes of the Imperial Air Force be put into service?" William II asked.  He knows the gap between the German Air Force's fighter jets and the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets!  China is far ahead of Germany in the development and investment of aircraft. Although Germany has begun to catch up, it is still difficult to make up the gap!  However, even so, the German Air Force has to desperately catch up!  In modern warfare, air superiority has become more and more important!

    "Your Majesty, the Imperial Air Force's Hurricane V fighter is stepping up its development! If the development is successful, its performance should not lag behind the Chinese main fighters! However, the most optimistic estimate is that the Hurricane V fighter will not be put into mass production until the end of the year.  Give birth!" Admiral Schultz said!

    "End of the year? No, it's too long! I want to see the Imperial Air Force's Hurricane V fighter jets enter service by August at the latest!" William II gave the order directly!  One year is too long, and we still don¡¯t know what changes will happen by then!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" General Schultz had no choice but to nod!  The German Air Force has absorbed many experts from the United Kingdom and France, which has greatly enhanced the German Air Force's research and development strength!  But it is still difficult to catch up with China!

    "Before the new fighter jets enter service, the Imperial Air Force must rely on its existing strength to defend the blue skies of the Empire! Although the Imperial Air Force's air strike this time achieved a strategic victory, the losses were too great! Moreover, the Chinese in the Mediterranean  The base above has not been completely destroyed! The Imperial Air Force must continue to launch attacks and destroy the Chinese air base!" William II ordered!  After blowing up the Chinese air force base, the Chinese can rebuild it.  After destroying the Chinese fighter planes, the Chinese can redeploy them from home.  If the German Air Force wants to maintain its advantage, it must continue to launch attacks!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! However, the Imperial Air Force is now greatly weakened, and we need support from the Naval Air Force!" Admiral Schultz said.  The German naval aviation also has thousands of fighters. In addition to the carrier-based aircraft units of the five aircraft carriers, there are also thousands of shore-based aircraft!

    "Marshal Tirpitz, it is very important to fight for air supremacy. The Imperial Naval Aviation must fully cooperate with the Air Force!" William II ordered!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! The Imperial Navy will fully cooperate with the Air Force!" Marshal Tirpitz said after the order!  Before the German Navy's 'Hohenzollern-class' aircraft carrier was put into service, the German Navy had not yet challenged the strength of the Chinese Navy, but before that, they could use aviation to attack the Chinese Navy and Air Force!

    "In addition, the factory must also expand production! The current production capacity must be doubled or more to make up for the losses of the Air Force!" William II said.  Before the outbreak of the war, the German aircraft manufacturing plants had only increased their production capacity to 2,000 aircraft per year!  However, after entering the wartime system, this output can easily be doubled!  However, William II was obviously not satisfied with this!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" General Schultz said!  As for aircraft manufacturers, as long as they increase investment, there is no problem in increasing production!  Moreover, the German Air Force is now suffering heavy losses and needs to quickly replenish its strength!

    "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, when can the Imperial Army occupy the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" William II asked.  Compared to the German Navy and Air Force, William II valued the progress of the Army more!

    "Your Majesty! The Imperial Army has captured Vienna! However, before we captured Vienna, Archduke Karl, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, had led the remaining troops of the Kingdom of Austria and senior government officials to retreat southward!" Marshal Falkenhayn said!  Marshal Falkenhayn was still very satisfied with this invasion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, once known as the third most powerful country in the world, actually fell like this. This made everyone in Germany unable to believe it!  At the beginning, everyone was afraid that invading the Austro-Hungarian Empire would lead to trouble, or even a quagmire of war!  However, current progress makes everyone understand that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is nothing more than a paper tiger!

    "Very good! The Imperial Army needs to speed up its advance and wipe out all the remaining troops of the Kingdom of Austria in one fell swoop, without giving the Chinese a chance to intervene!" William II said with a smile!  Being able to destroy a world power so easily makes William II very proud!
