Chapter 825: Continue to march

Imperial Palace, Berlin, Germany.

In the office of Emperor Qin Tian, all the military and political ministers of the empire gathered here. Although the battle has been fought, there are still a lot of affairs to be arranged. It can be said that defeating the enemy in the middle of the war and achieving victory is only the first step. Next, we have to fully absorb the benefits gained in the war, which is the most important thing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war is almost over. At least, large-scale wars will not break out for a long time. The empire went through a lot of hardships and paid a huge price to win the war. From now on, the Empire has officially replaced Britain as the new world hegemon! Qin Tian said with a smile.

The other military ministers also had smiles on their faces. It has always been the dream of the Germans to defeat Britain and take the throne of world hegemony under the ass of Britain. To do this, they have been working for decades. God willing, under the leadership of the wise emperor, they finally defeated the British and became the new world overlords as they wished.

"Your Majesty, the Empire will be a much more powerful overlord than the British Empire of yesteryear. Because we are not like the British, who only have the world's largest navy. Our army and navy, as well as the soon-to-be-created air force, are the most powerful in the world! "Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

The others nodded their heads in agreement, that the German Empire was stronger than the British Empire.

"We are strong, not only in the military, but also in the economy, industry and technology, we are already ahead of the world!" Prime Minister Bilo said.

"Everyone is right, as the new world hegemon, we should naturally lead the world in all aspects!" Qin Tian smiled and nodded.

"Next, the Empire's focus will be on digesting the benefits of the war. The territories of the Eastern European Plain, the industrial regions of France, all need to be digested and integrated. Only in this way can our strength grow rapidly! Qin Tian then reminded.

In the peace treaty signed with Brazzaville, Brazzaville ceded the best part to Germany. Compared with Western Europe, although the industry there is not very developed, it is quite passable. If it is transformed with German funds and technology, it will soon be able to develop. This, combined with the fact that it has been a food-producing region since ancient times, allows Germany to obtain enough agricultural products to improve the living standards of its people. After all, the support of the public for Germany to fight the world war is, in essence, a desire for a better life in the future. If these hopes of the people cannot be met, then the support of the people may be greatly reduced. Even if Qin Tian's status was getting higher and higher, he didn't want to disappoint the people in this regard.

The north of France is an important industrial region in France. Most of France's industry is concentrated here. Although, compared to Germany, the French industry is somewhat aging. However, the potential for development here is still immeasurable. After Germany occupied such a large territory, it naturally needed to integrate and digest it. Once the integration is completed, German industry will take it to the next level. It can even surpass the United States and become the world's largest industrial power.

"Your Majesty, the industrial development of the empire also requires a vast market and a source of raw materials. We have now begun to receive colonies of the French and Italians. However, those British colonies are still out of our control. The officials and the army did not receive orders from London, but continued to obey orders from Toronto. Without the use of force, it will be difficult for us to occupy those colonies! Foreign Minister Vahit said.

Qin Tian nodded, the British colony was very vast. Africa alone has a large area. From the Middle East to India, to the South Seas, and Australia. The whole colony was in the hands of officials and generals loyal to George V of Toronto. If Germany wanted to gain these colonies, it would have to continue to send troops to attack. Because the area is too large, I am afraid it will take a long time.

Of course, those colonies are too important. In particular, India, South Africa, and Australia, if Germany can get them, will raise Germany's national strength to a new level.

"Field Marshal Falkenhein, let the General Staff draw up a plan for the use of troops against these colonies! I hope to take these colonies in two years! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein nodded.

Although those colonies were vast and scattered all over the world. However, there is still no big problem in taking these colonies within two years.

"At this stage, the Imperial Navy must fully support the Army!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Count Tirpitz nodded.

Those colonies are all overseas, and without the help of the navy, how can the army get there? Logistics alone is enough for the army to collapse.

What's more, Germany's seizure of those colonies is also of great benefit to the navy. The increase in financial resources will inevitably lead to a further increase in military strength. In addition, in order to protect those overseas colonies, the strength of the German navy will inevitably be further strengthened. At that time, the German Navy had to be a world navy. Regardless of the ocean, the German navy must be in order to ensure Germany's overseas interests. Therefore, the Navy is naturally willing to do its best at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Marines can also be thrown into the war." Marshal Count Tirpitz further said.

In the operation of landing in Britain, the performance of the Marine Corps was still very good. Although the casualties were not small, they succeeded in seizing the beachhead and opening up a landing ground for the safe landing of the army, which can be said to be indispensable.

Qin Tian nodded: "The Marines can also be put into battle!" Plus, the size of the Marine Corps can be expanded from 5 divisions to 10 divisions! ”

Those British colonies are all by the sea. Some smaller colonies, such as the Straits Settlements, can be captured directly by the Marines.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal of Count Tirpitz replied excitedly. He was very satisfied that the Marine Corps was able to expand to ten divisions. You know, in terms of the size of the Marine Corps, ten divisions are almost 200,000 people, which is already equivalent to one army corps of the army.
