Chapter 827: Military Reform (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The Chief of Staff of the German Army soon drew up a plan of attack on the British colonies. According to the plan, two or three army groups were to be sent to launch an attack on the British colonies.

The 3rd Army, with the assistance of the Navy, will land in South Africa and then attack all the way north, piercing through all of Africa. The British did not have much army in Africa anymore, and although there were still some indigenous armies, they were not very combative. A group army, with the support of the navy, would not have much problem at all in defeating the British forces in Africa.

The 8th Army was to land in Egypt and then attack Dong, passing through the Middle East to India. If necessary, the 4th Army will also participate in this offensive to ensure that the British colony can be taken.

In addition, the Imperial Marines will also launch an attack on the British Straits Settlements.

Qin Tian approved this battle plan, and in his opinion, there would be no big problem with the attack on the British colony. Britain fled to Canada to survive. But their armies were largely lost. Even if you hastily form an army in the colony to fight the Germans. But if the rabble wanted to defend against the mighty German army, it was unlikely that by any measure. The Germans were strong enough to crush them.

Qin Tian didn't let the army attack immediately. In any case, they have just finished the European competition, and they also need time to rest, reunite with their families, and so on.

Therefore, Qin Tian can let the army prepare for an attack in February and March next year.

Next, Qin Tian's energy was focused on military reform. Although, the strength of the current German army is the best in the world. However, Qin Tian did not become proud because of this. He knows that the next few decades will be a time when technology will advance by leaps and bounds. This will have a huge impact on the army and the war. If the German army could not seize this opportunity to become stronger, it would be very difficult to say whether Germany would be able to win the next war. If Germany were to be defeated because of this, all previous efforts would be in vain.

The giants of the Imperial Army and Navy are also very aware of this. Actually, everyone expected it for a long time. After the end of the war, it was naturally impossible to keep so many troops. Otherwise, it will be a huge burden on the country's finances.

In terms of the military system of the German army, this has always been the case. In peacetime, only a small standing army remained. When war breaks out, we can use an efficient mobilization mechanism to mobilize a sufficiently strong force in the shortest possible time. This set in Germany is already very familiar with it.

The generals are no strangers to this. Therefore, they have no opinion on whether or not to disarm. Of course, they also believe that now the territorial area of the empire has expanded, and at the same time there are a large number of overseas colonies. Even in order to protect these interests, the size of the empire's army should be a little stronger than before the outbreak of the war.

On November 24, Emperor Qin Tian presided over a conference on military reform at the General Staff.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past wars, the Imperial Army, Navy and Army Air Corps have made great efforts and sacrifices to ensure that the Empire can win the war. Without the desperate fighting of the army, we would not have won this war! Qin Tian said solemnly.

The generals present were all happy. It was undoubtedly an honor for the Emperor to know their exploits.

"However, although the empire won the war. The military power of the empire has always been considered the best in the world. However, there is absolutely no room for complacency. Otherwise, the fate of the British Empire is a lesson from the past! Qin Tian reminded. He didn't want his marshals and generals to become empty-sighted. In that case, he would have to worry about whether Germany would win the next war.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied.

After Qin Tian saw everyone's expressions, he continued: "There is only one ultimate goal of military reform, and that is to further enhance the military strength of the empire. In this way, the Empire will be able to win in future wars and defend our position as the world hegemon! ”

"Your Majesty, the Army supports Your Majesty's military reforms. No matter what His Majesty asks, the Army will accept it! "Feng? Marshal Tifalkenhein spoke on behalf of the Army.

"Your Majesty, the same goes for the Imperial Navy!" Feng? Marshal Count Tirpitz also said.

Lieutenant General Zechter's Army Air Corps, naturally, did not have any objections. After all, the Army Air Corps is about to be transformed into the Air Force. The current scale will not be reduced, but will only expand further. So, he doesn't have to worry about being disarmed or something.

Qin Tian nodded, with his current prestige, it was true that no one in Germany could question any of his decisions. Even these military giants can only obey his orders.

"It's best that people can understand that." Qin Tian is still very satisfied with everyone's performance. This proves that he has very good control over the Empire's army.

"Now, let's start announcing the reform plans for each branch of the military!" Qin Tian continued.

First of all, of course, it was about the reform of the Imperial Army. In any case, the army is the big brother of all branches of the German military. This is well deserved, both in terms of the size of the troops and in terms of strength. After all, for a long time, Germany and even the Kingdom of Prussia before it were founded on the army. Without a strong army, the Kingdom of Prussia would have fallen, let alone unified Germany and now dominated the world.

The second was the reform of the Imperial Navy. Although the Imperial Navy was established later than the Imperial Army, it has become the world's number one after defeating the Royal Navy, which has dominated the world's oceans for hundreds of years. Under such circumstances, the reform of the Imperial Navy was undoubtedly also very important. The most fundamental point is that the reform of the Imperial Navy must not undermine the strength of the Imperial Navy. In this way, the overseas interests of the empire can be guaranteed.

And finally, about the Imperial Army Air Corps. This time, the Reich Army Air Corps will be officially renamed and become independent from the Army as the Reich Air Force, becoming the third independent branch of the German Reich.
