Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III Chapter 037

In terms of the population of the Germanic Empire, if three hundred infantry divisions were mobilized, plus other artillery and cavalry units, as well as logistics units and clerks, etc., the total strength would have reached six million. This proportion is already equivalent to one-tenth of the total population.

Under this ratio, it can even be regarded as full mobilization.

Of course, if a large number of jobs were given to women at any cost, the Germanic Empire might have been able to mobilize more troops. But in that case, once a huge number of casualties are paid, it will deal a very big blow to the entire empire and nation.

As a last resort, Liu Chuan naturally won’t be so crazy.

It would be best if future wars could be won at minimal cost.

However, if the situation has deteriorated irreparably, it is natural to do everything it takes.

The bigwigs of the Germanic Imperial Army were naturally also shocked by Liu Chuan’s big hand.

They never seemed to have imagined that the Germanic Empire would need to mobilize so many troops in future wars. However, if the war situation is really not going well, then it is reasonable to mobilize so many troops. As long as the war can be won, even if it is a big price, it is naturally worth it.

“Your Majesty, we will improve the mobilization system next, and strive to meet Your Majesty’s requirements within ten years!” General Schlieffen said.

Von Falkenhein, Lieutenant General Moltke Jr. and others also nodded one after another.

The establishment of a sound mobilization system was of great benefit to the Germanic Empire, and it was able to give the Germanic Empire an advantage in future wars.

Under such circumstances, everyone will naturally agree.

Subsequently, Liu Chuan and the army bosses left the Krupp company’s test site by special train and returned to Bolin.

However, the next day, Liu Chuan again summoned Shoubiluo, Foreign Minister Holweg, War Minister von Falkenhein, Naval Minister Count Tirpitz and General Schlieffen, Chief of the General Staff, and Vice Admiral Moltke Jr., Deputy Chief of Staff.

This time, Liu Chuan summoned everyone with only one purpose, that is, how to enable the Germanic Empire to hold out in future wars.

“Gentlemen, I have already told the generals before that if a war breaks out in the future, it will undoubtedly be a protracted war. The shortcomings of the empire are also very obvious, that is, the resources of the empire are very scarce. We lack almost all the resources except coal. Therefore, I hope that from now on the empire will develop a national strategic reserve.

Began to secretly buy oil, copper, steel, rubber and other resources from abroad. Ensure that even after the outbreak of war in the future, the empire’s maritime trade lines are cut off by the enemy, the empire can no longer buy any resources from overseas, and the empire has enough resources to persevere in the war until the empire can win future wars! ”

Liu Chuan’s face was serious.

The cabinet and military officials of the Germanic Empire also had serious expressions.

They all knew very well that this was already a matter of life and death for the Germanic Empire.

“Our army is very strong, but not strong enough to defeat our enemy in a very short time. It is very necessary to build a strategic reserve! Count Tirpitz took the lead.

“Indeed, it is very necessary to reserve enough materials to ensure that after the sea transportation line is cut off, the empire’s military production, economic development and the lives of the people will not be affected, which can ensure the stability of the empire and enable the empire to continue to persevere in the war!” Von Falkenhein also said.

Liu Chuan knew that in another time and space, the Germanic Empire was dragged to death alive.

Because of the lack of materials, the army of the Germanic Empire has not yet been defeated, but the people in the country can no longer survive. This brought the empire directly to collapse.

If the Germanic Empire can make reserves in advance, reserve enough supplies. Then, these problems can undoubtedly be solved.

In addition, the strength of the army of the Germanic Empire was strengthened, and it quickly defeated a certain enemy at the beginning of the war and achieved a breakthrough in a certain direction. And by plundering a lot of wealth in the midst of war. Then, everything will naturally develop in the good side.

The Germanic Empire, even by supporting war with war, can make the war machine of the Germanic Empire run at full strength and become more and more powerful. Until the future war is won.

“Your Majesty, the construction of national strategic reserves is indeed very important and deserved. However, this requires a large sum of money. The imperial finances are now under great pressure. Even if August Mining could subsidize the imperial treasury of 20 million marks a month, it would be difficult to support this plan. Shoubilo said.

For the Germanic Empire, the lack of money was also an important problem.
