The exercise is still going on, and this is obviously not the only thing that has surprised all countries.

After the Blue Army launched the shelling, they immediately launched an attack. The exercise director determined that the Red Army suffered more than half of its casualties in the shelling, and most of the fortifications on the defense line were destroyed. This made the troops from various countries feel a little baffled.

Can a 75mm field gun destroy strong fortifications?

Isn't this too fantasy?

In fact, the fantasy story is still to come. After the Blue Army cavalry entered the battle, they faced the enemy's machine gun fire and artillery bombardment. They were only judged to have suffered minor casualties, and then quickly penetrated the Red Army's position.

In less than half an hour, the Red Army's frontline positions had been occupied.

"Did the German army give up on themselves?"

"Isn't this just messing around? Where is the war fought like this?"

"Yes, I don't understand it either. Could it be that this is because the German General Staff was disbanded and they replaced a group of young people from top to bottom, so this lack of experience occurred? Bar?"

"Well, I think it's very possible!"

"Alas, it seems that the Prussian army, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has been completely destroyed!"

The words of the military attaché of the Fairy Tale Country were agreed by many people, and everyone began to think about this issue.

This German army looks completely different from the previous German armies. After losing the inheritance of the Junkers nobles, this army has become It was very amateurish and did not look like a strong military at all.

After realizing this fact, the military attachés from various countries had different reactions.

Some countries, such as the Allied Powers, were very happy about this because they suppressed the German army. That was their goal and pursuit. Now that their goal was achieved, they were naturally very happy.

There were also some Hans' neighboring countries, such as the Fairy Tale Country and the Pineapple Country. They felt relieved after seeing the poor performance of the German army. After all

, compared to the size and industrial strength of Hans, they are only small countries, and some countries only became independent after World War I, such as Czech and Bolan. At this time, they are almost starting from scratch.

If their neighboring country is a powerful country with extremely strong military power, it is definitely not good news for them because they are too weak. The strength of the enemy is likely to lead to a military invasion by the other party, but there is no need to worry now. The German army is limited to 100,000 troops, and there are still the feuding Gauls in the west. They can't even protect themselves with this small force. It's a problem, let alone invading other countries!

Moreover, the German army, which was severely restricted by the Treaty of Versailles, did not even have large-caliber heavy artillery, and was not allowed to develop new weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles. It did not have its own air force. At first glance, they were just sick cats without teeth. They looked like tigers but did not have the strength of tigers. There was nothing to be afraid of.

So when they saw the German army's shocking performances in the exercises, all countries regarded them as a joke and watched the whole thing! There was endless laughter in Taiwan.

Therefore, after the exercise, the military attachés reported the same information to their home countries, which was that the German army was no longer what it used to be, and there was nothing to worry about. We should go to Hans to observe. After the military attache's telegram was sent back, the French military leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Marshal Foch, who had made great contributions in the war, said to Marshal Pétain:"It seems that this time the tiger Hans has finally been surrendered.

In the future, as long as By keeping ourselves strong and taking care of the iron chain around the German army's neck, we can prevent the German army from growing stronger.

This will last for twenty years.

When the martial spirit of the Prussian era has completely disappeared, we will no longer have to worry about our neighbor to the east.

country!

"

Marshal Foch was a hard-liner against Germany. He once proposed the complete destruction of Hans. Of course, this proposal could not be implemented due to the strong opposition of Sun Never Set and Eagle Sauce, but the Treaty of Versailles successfully gave the German army leaders A tight spell was placed on him. Although he failed to destroy the country of Hans, he crippled the opponent's army and prevented the opponent from posing a threat to Gaul. This basically fulfilled his request!

Marshal Pétain nodded! , of course he knew that he should continue to control the dog chain tied to the German army. After all, he had seen the terrifying combat power of the German army on the battlefield. If he could, he would never want to fight such an enemy again.

However, compared to! Marshal Pétain felt a little uneasy despite Marshal Foch's optimism.

He glanced at Foch and hesitated to express his inner worries.

"What's the matter, Philip? What's on your mind?"

"I am more worried that if we are so persistent in weakening the German army and going all out to suppress it, will this make the hatred between our two countries deeper and deeper?"

Marshal Foch glanced at Pétain. To be honest, he had actually considered this issue.

The population of Hans was 7 million. After the annexation of Odili, the number soared to 82 million. At this time, Gaul was only There were only 39 million people. Before the First World War, their population was still 42 million. Due to the war and the Great Swallow Flu, Gaul lost millions of people, and the most elite young adults were lost at this time! , the number of adult men in the age group of 18-40 in China is more than 50% less than that of their parents.

It is obvious what this lack of so many young and middle-aged men means to a country. Things!

This generation may not see much of a problem yet, but after twenty years, when the descendants of this generation grow up, the problems in Gaul will be exposed.

Because adult men, especially childbirth! The sharp decline in the number of adult men during this period will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the fertility rate in Gaul. This phenomenon has already been reflected at this time.

Before the war broke out in 1914, the number of births in Gaul per year was still about 800,000. By 1916, this number had dropped to less than 400,000. Although it rose slightly in 1919, it only increased to 500,000, which was far less than the pre-war level.

The decline in the number of births at this time will lead to a shortage of labor in the future. The lack of labor will not only affect domestic factories, but also directly affect Gaul's army.

Maybe, when Gaul faces war again in 20 years, it will be difficult to form an army! What is frightening is that as their imaginary enemy, the Hans people have a much larger birth population than them!

At this time, even after losing all the colonies, the mainland area is not as large as Gaul, but the Hans people have a higher birth population. Many times that of Lu!

Before the war broke out in 1914, the number of births in Hans was 1.86 million, which was more than twice that of Gaul!

Even in 1918, when the war was at its most intense and the Swallow Flu pandemic hit, the number of births in the Second Empire was 1.86 million. At the lowest level, there are still 980,000 people. This number is nearly three times that of Gaul!

At this time, according to intelligence, after the war, the birth rate of the Weimar Republic increased rapidly. In 1919, including Odili , Hans gave birth to 1.56 million people a year, which is already three times more than Gaul!

The other country's population base is already larger than Gaul's, and its fertility rate is higher than Gaul's. If the trend continues, Gaul's population will be 20 years later. The population may be only one-third that of Hans!

Even Marshal Foch himself couldn't calm down when he thought about this problem!

"Therefore, Hans' military power must be strictly restricted, and they must not be militarized, otherwise we will be doomed!
