Chapter 327: Summary of the forces of the four major branches, totaling 4 million troops
The situation in Europe has begun to develop in another direction since the beginning of the new year.
Hans and Italy signed an alliance in Germania.
The signing of this agreement shocked the entire West.
The formation of this military alliance is definitely not good news for France.
This also made France extremely vigilant, and they began to send more troops to the border.
England also understood the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold", so this time they did not do anything, but instead urgently mobilized more than 30 troops to France.
In addition, England and France also began to contact Tsarist Russia, hoping to bring it into their camp.
But Tsarist Russia was in no mood to pay attention to them.
"Our enemy is the ancient kingdom. We need to wash away our shame and take back our occupied land."
This was Nicholas III's response to the two countries.
Then he signed a non-aggression agreement with Hans.
You fight yours, I fight mine, and we live in peace.
"First, we will take care of France and England, then turn our attention to Russia, unify all of Europe, and make Europe great again."
Hilt said this to a group of senior generals while waving the agreement in his hand at a secret high-level meeting.
"What about the Ancient Kingdom? They rejected our proposal to form an alliance again. I don't understand why they rejected us."
The ancient country has grown into a country that cannot be ignored in the world.
Even many of Hans' weapons and equipment were purchased from ancient countries.
Strategic materials such as petroleum, tungsten alloys, rare metals, and rubber were also provided by ancient countries.
It costs hundreds of millions of Reichsmarks every year just to import these things from the ancient country.
To a certain extent, Hans has become dependent on the ancient country's weapons and equipment system and resources.
The only thing they could be thankful for was that they bought all the weapons production lines from the ancient country, including the production line of FC-15 jet fighters.
Of course, this production line is just an assembly workshop. They are unable to produce various key components and can only import them from ancient countries.
The engine is the core one.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Hans needs the ancient country to join them.
“I spoke with President Jiang of Guguo on the phone before this meeting.
Our targets are England, France, the United States and Tsarist Russia, and our goal is the same.
Even if war breaks out, the ancient country will find a way to provide us with some strategic materials.
Although we haven't won over the ancient country as an ally, we can still achieve our goals even without it, but the process will be more difficult."
Hilt said this with a hint of regret in his tone, and then he became excited.
This high-level meeting also directly set the tone for the subsequent war and unified people's hearts.
Everyone began to get eager to try.
Jiang Hua, who was far away in the ancient country, was also thinking about some issues.
The ultimate goal of the ancient country is to realize the great alliance of mankind and gather the strength of all mankind to advance into space.
Although the road is long and difficult, Jiang Hua wants to give it a try.
Because this is the only chance.
That is why he rejected the proposal of an alliance with Hans.
The ancient country needs allies, but also does not need allies.
The allies we want are like-minded allies with common goals, not allies like Hans who are ambitious and want to be the boss of the world.
Therefore, the establishment of Dongmao was his first step on this path.
War is about to break out, and the ancient country is about to take the most critical step.
Jiang Hua called Chief of General Staff Ling Liang and Prime Minister Chu Anshi to Yinian Hall and held a small three-person meeting.
After the two took their positions, Jiang Hua said straight to the point: "A war that will sweep across the world from Europe is about to break out, which also means that our chance has come.
Therefore, we also need to consider whether to conduct early war mobilization."
Chu Anshi frowned.
War can stimulate the economy in the short term, but once it becomes a long-term quagmire, it is not a good thing.
The huge military expenditure will directly overwhelm the government, resulting in large amounts of debt and serious fiscal deficits.
Moreover, this will inevitably squeeze out investment in infrastructure, education, people's livelihood and other areas.
But this war must be fought.
If the ancient country could seize a large number of colonies from the West, it would be able to obtain a large amount of low-priced resources for development and also gain access to a vast market.
So there is a contradiction here.
“The base will supply at least half of the weapons and equipment and war expenses.
The ancient nation's economy doesn't need to rely on military industry to drive development, so the government can free its hands and conduct preliminary mobilization work for the war, and the same goes for the military!"
Chu Anshi felt relieved when he heard this.
If the base bears part of the losses in the war, it means that the government can reduce its spending on the war.
This way, a balance is found in the middle.
Use this war to boost the military industry and economy, create a large number of jobs, and at the same time the government does not have to worry about huge military expenditures.
This means that both sides have the best of both worlds, and Chu Anshi's heart is naturally at ease.
This is the best solution Jiang Hua could think of.
Of course, the base can also bear all the consumption of weapons and equipment, but this will be a devastating blow to the integrated production and research military-industrial system that the ancient country has finally established.
Therefore, the military-industrial system must be given a bite of the war meal, but it does not need to be fed too much. It is enough to feed them half full to ensure that they do not starve to death.
What's more, the ancient country's weapons and equipment are very popular in the international arms market.
Orders from outside are also sufficient for military-industrial enterprises to ensure normal operations and development.
"Don't worry, Commander. Our Executive Yuan has already prepared the relevant plans and budgets.
Guarantee to cooperate with all reasonable actions of the military."
Ling Liang glanced at Chu Anshi and nodded, "The entire army has now entered the third level of combat readiness. Next, I will issue a second level combat readiness order in the name of the Military and Political Committee.
All major military regions will make relevant war preparations."
The six major military regions of the ancient country each have their own strategic goals.
The Far Eastern Military District’s target was Tsarist Russia.
The Eastern Military District's targets are the South Pacific and the United States.
The Northern Military District's targets are Fuso and the North Pacific.
The Southern Military Region’s target is the entire Nanyang region.
The Southwest Military Region’s target is the Zhongsha area and Baixiang.
The Northwest Military Region’s target was also Tsarist Russia.
As long as war mobilization is carried out, each major military region will complete its respective strategic goals as planned.
Jiang Hua is still very confident in the government and the military.
"When you return, send me a summary of the troops' strength. I want to take a look."
"Yes!"
In the office, Jiang Hua quietly looked at the summary report of the military strength of the four major branches of the ancient country as of January 40 on the desk.
The ancient country had four major military branches and one major branch of the army.
The army has the largest annual military expenditure, but it is still the big brother.
Currently, the six major military regions of the army have a total of 13 group armies and 177 brigade-level units.
Among them, there are 20 heavy combined brigades, which is a relatively small ratio for the 177 brigade-level units.
But it is basically enough in non-war periods.
It is sufficient to ensure that each army group has 1-3 heavy combined brigades.
After all, this is no longer the era of large-scale military assaults, but a new era of informatization and three-dimensionalization.
The total strength of the 13 group armies is just over one million.
Excluding the National Guard, the Air Force currently has a total of more than 6000 fighter jets of various types.
Among them, the B-52H bomber, the main force of strategic nuclear deterrence, is currently being accelerated into service.
The current number of equipment is close to 500.
In addition, there are the TU-22M3 Backfire strategic bomber and the TU-39 strategic bomber, which was only put into service in 95, which constitute the three musketeers of the ancient country's strategic bombers.
The B-52H strategic bomber is the largest and is the core of the Three Musketeers.
The TU-95 was put into service as a low-cost strategic bomber, forming a high-low combination with the B-52 strategic bomber.
Although it is a low-cost strategic bomber, the performance of the TU-95 strategic bomber is not bad.
The maximum take-off weight is 182 tons, the maximum speed is 910 kilometers per hour, the range can reach kilometers, and the maximum bomb load is 25 tons.
Even with a range of kilometers, the bomb load can reach 11 tons.
If it carries strategic cruise missiles, the strike range can exceed 6000 kilometers.
The TU-22M3 Backfire strategic bomber is responsible for low-altitude penetration.
The ancient country's air force was extremely strong in both tactical and strategic strike capabilities.
I'm not sure about other things, but at least there would be no problem in bombing the Fuso Islands back to the Stone Age.
The total strength of the Air Force is more than 40.
The navy currently has four major fleets, with more than 20 aircraft carriers and arsenal ships, and more than 200 cruisers, destroyers and frigates.
There are more than 700 other large and small ships with a total tonnage of more than 500 million tons.
Including the Marine Corps, the total strength exceeds 60.
If this naval force were to unleash an explosion, even all the navies of the Western powers combined would not be enough to defeat a single fleet of the ancient nation.
This also allowed the ancient country's navy to stand out from the crowd and directly crush the navies of other countries.
The Strategic Rocket Force, the most low-key of the four major military services, has the smallest total strength, currently only more than 100,000 people.
This is mainly because under the current world situation, there is no need to spend a lot of money to maintain a large-scale strategic nuclear deterrent force.
After all, other countries don’t even know what an atomic bomb is, so maintaining a large strategic rocket force is like flirting with a blind man.
All we need to do is ensure that there is a strategic force that can strike countries around the world at any time.
In addition to the four major military services, there is also a joint logistics force that is independent of the four major military services but half a level lower.
This force serves specifically for the four major military services and is responsible for the unified procurement of equipment and supplies, as well as strategic and campaign support and guarantee for the four major military services.
The size of this force is not small, with a total strength of more than 30 people.
The total strength of these four major services and one major branch of the military has reached about 240 million, which is also the size of the main force.
In addition to the main force, there are also National Guard and militia forces as reserve forces.
The National Guard has a total strength of 70 people, and the militia is even larger, with a number of more than 300 million.
By this calculation, the total number of troops that the ancient country can currently mobilize is about 610 million.
Looking at the current total military strength, Jiang Hua felt that there would be no problem in fighting a world war.
Now all we have to do is wait for the powder keg in Europe to explode.
