It is indisputable that the combat strength of the Tang Army is much higher than that of its European counterparts. This is also the reason why Datang only deployed a relatively small number of troops in Europe in the face www.biquge.info of European hostility, because it was enough to deal with the situation. The development of the whole world has ****** a little, and a few decades ago, the standing armies of European countries were only tens of thousands, and there were more than 100,000 standing armies. But after a few decades, science and technology developed, the economy developed, and the population swelled, and countries like Poland maintained a standing army of two or three hundred thousand.

In fact, most European countries did not expect a full-scale war with Datang, which was something they were unwilling to do. But when the war really broke out, some countries led by Germany immediately entered a state of full mobilization without hesitation, because they knew that if they didn't do this, they would not be able to win in front of Datang.

In countries such as France and Germany are squeezing the potential of their own population limits, and the potential military service of appropriate age is recruiting one-third of them when preparing for war, it has to be said that even Hu Fakui, who is bent on agitating for war, is a little afraid. Therefore, for the first time in history, Hu Fakui urged the Tang Dynasty to pass the war bill. With a huge army of 5.6 million men, it will be the strongest and largest army in history. The army alone accounts for more than 4 million men and is organized into more than 200 divisions. The division and above are the group armies and the front armies, which belong to the temporary establishment, the group armies are numbered, and the front armies are named according to the battlefield.

The navy and air force have also expanded to a staggering size, with a larger navy with a total of 1.06 million men, a considerable part of which is the establishment of marines, but the fleet has also expanded considerably. The Air Force, on the other hand, will more than double the size of its fleet to 770,000 troops.

A key problem lies in the fact that modern warfare must rely on sophisticated and advanced weapons of war, and these weapons cannot be expanded by extension. However, Datang itself has a huge industrial capacity, and the combination of East Asia and North America has an industrial manufacturing capacity that has never been seen in the world, and it is even more unprecedented.

In the second-level wartime state, all military industrial enterprises will operate at full capacity, and all supporting related enterprises will also be mobilized to meet military needs. Although it doesn't seem to be very powerful, considering the size of Datang itself, this level is already extremely scary.

According to the estimates placed in front of President Hu Fakui's desk, Datang can produce more than 20,000 tanks per year and 100,000 armored combat vehicles of various types per year. The Air Force's fighter planes, even if they are as sophisticated as the second-generation jet fighter Flying Leopard, can produce more than 8,000 aircraft per year, and all kinds of aircraft add up, Datang can produce 60,000 military aircraft per year. In terms of naval vessels, Datang has completed the production of 82,000-ton Hubei-class aircraft carriers, and the next step is to produce the 100,000-ton full-load displacement supercarrier Jiazhou-class. The construction of aircraft carriers cannot be too fast, and no matter how short it is, it can only be completed in three years from the construction of sections to the final completion of outfitting and trial service. However, other ships are being built much faster. The Liu Ren-class missile destroyer, which is also still in the state of drawings, has a full load displacement of 9,100 tons, and is equipped with a total of 96 missile vertical launchers developed by Datang. This type of ship will become the capital ship second only to aircraft carriers in the future Datang fleet, and the number of ships built annually can reach 18. Not to mention that there is also a new generation of attack nuclear submarines of Datang, with a submarine displacement of more than 7,000 tons, the Virginia-class, which will also be built at a rate of up to 20 units per year.

It can be seen from this that Datang has laid down a huge number of military construction stalls over the years. To put it bluntly, just the production capacity of the second-level wartime state, Datang is already several times that of the United States during World War II. Not to mention, the equipment produced by Datang is basically the technical level of the middle and late stages of the Cold War, which is much more difficult than the production of weapons at the technical level of World War II.

In terms of shipyards capable of producing large missile destroyers, there are five shipyards in China and six in North America, with an average of more than 10 slipways per shipyard that can be used to produce large main battle ships. After all, it still takes a little time to train skilled workers who can produce warships. Other enterprises are similar, they will not reach their full production capacity at the beginning of the war, and there will be a period of acceleration.

Under the national system of the Tang Dynasty, such a large factory is like a cell division and replication, from one to another and then quickly copied into a group, they may be highly similar, but after a period of development, they all have strong capabilities to meet the needs of the country and the army. And this capability is absolutely not available in European countries.

It is not an easy task to produce the weapons and equipment needed by more than 5 million people, and Datang's existing weapons can equip about 3 million people at most, and not all of these equipment are the most advanced. For example, the Datang Air Force has sealed a large number of piston fighters, copycat LA-11 and copycat P-51, plus the Navy's copycat hellcat, the total number is more than 10,000, but this is not useful for the Air Force, even if the performance of these fighters is due to the European Spitfire, but the advantage is relatively small, and it may suffer unnecessary losses, so the weapons unsealed by the Datang Air Force are the balances that were deliberately produced at the beginning and equipped with troops.

Most of the troops equipped with these mothballed weapons were originally military reserves, and they could immediately form combat effectiveness after obtaining weapons, and they could quickly support them on the European battlefield. Of course, some of them stayed to assist in the training of new soldiers, Datang did not plan to let the rookies go to the battlefield to die in a daze, all the basic training of recruits was completed in half a year, and there was another half a year of intensive training in the future. In other words, they can only go to the battlefield to fight after they have a year of military experience. Combined with previous recruitment and other work, it may take longer.

And during this time, Datang will obviously not do nothing. The Ministry of Defense of the Tang Dynasty has already dispatched the Tang Army in China and North America to fight in Europe. In the first phase of the plan, Datang will deploy 600,000 troops and marines in the Netherlands and Belgium, 300,000 troops in Estonia and Latvia, 500,000 troops in Ukraine, 200,000 troops in Thrace, and 200,000 troops in North Africa.

This will inevitably greatly drain the Tang Army troops from other regions, but the Tang Dynasty can relatively quickly convert millions of reserves into instant combat power, so it will not be particularly difficult. (To be continued.) )
