The Rise of Australia

Chapter 892 Legal Traitor

After Britain and France failed in the war on the Belgian border, they were already at a disadvantage throughout the war.

It is precisely because of this that the Germans can free up their hands to carry out more and larger strategies.

When they could act unscrupulously, the Germans finally exposed their huge ambitions.

In mid-July 1936, a German army group set out towards Denmark and launched an undeclared war against Denmark.

The Danish government was forced to declare war on Germany and join the Quadruple Alliance of Britain, France, Austria, and Australia.

This is not over yet. The Germans obviously have more than just Denmark in their sights. They even have certain thoughts about Sweden and Norway.

Although the three Nordic countries are relatively less developed than Central and Western Europe, their land area is quite vast. Precisely because of such a vast land area, the three Nordic countries have a large amount of mineral resources and other materials, which Germany is currently in urgent need of.

However, as a country that advocates freedom, the United States' binding force on the people is not as high as imagined.

Just three months later, the total number of French Army troops has exceeded 2 million and is moving towards 3 million.

These American soldiers who were drafted into the army were pure recruits and did not even receive much military training.

The French army deployed nearly 500,000 French troops along the line from Amiens to Reims in an attempt to use these 500,000 French troops to hold back the German army and delay more time for the training of the French troops in the rear.

It was obvious that Britain and France had their best hopes in Australasia.

In this document, the German Prime Minister declared that the offensive against Paris would be the largest battle in human history and would determine the fate of the German Empire and France.

In just half a month, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Latvia and Estonia successively declared war on Germany, and Germany began to challenge almost the entire Europe alone.

But Australasia cannot let its soldiers sacrifice in vain, which involves the issue of distribution of benefits after the war.

At present, Austria's remaining combat strength is only about 500,000. Only Vienna in the entire empire is breathing a sigh of relief, and other places are lifeless.

On August 1, 1936, the German Prime Minister issued a "Message to the Soldiers", vigorously inciting the German army to step up operations and occupy the French capital Paris as soon as possible.

Three months have passed since the war broke out, but the troops formed by the three republics barely exceed 150,000 and are not yet combat effective.

Germany and Italy launched a very large-scale air strike, attacking many important military and civilian targets in France.

In France, they will undergo about a month of intensive training before officially entering the battlefield.

French representatives stated that if Australasia is willing to send more troops to help France, the French government is willing to cede Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean as a price and allow Australasia to establish a naval base in the Comoros Islands.

At the meeting, the French representative proposed a proposal to unite and fight Germany together, and said very seriously: "If France fails in this war, no country will be able to stop Germany, which has occupied most of Europe."

In order to ensure adequate sources of supplies at all times, the Germans decided to directly incorporate the three Nordic countries into their own rule.

Especially after the second line of defense was breached, the peace faction once again vigorously promoted their theory and stated that what France should do at this time was to end this war with as little loss as possible before Paris was breached. A war that shouldn't happen.

Although the British got the best areas, for the French, the three areas they got were not much different.

Although the warring faction argued for France's participation in the war, judging from the results of the current war, the warring faction's ideas undoubtedly made France weaker.

However, after the Czech Republic and Slovakia were successively annexed by the German Empire, the Austrian Empire seemed unable to succeed, and the mobilization of the army was also somewhat slow.

Just on the next day, that is, in the early morning of August 2, a large number of German bombers appeared on the outskirts of Paris.

Compared with other countries, Australasia is obviously the most powerful among non-European countries and the country most likely to change the pattern of European wars.

If Britain and France cannot help the Austrian Empire in other parts of the war, or cannot directly send troops to relieve the pressure on the Austrian Empire, I am afraid that the first power to surrender in this war will also be born.

Its market value alone far exceeds the two islands mentioned by the French. Not to mention that a lot of supplies from Texas will flow to France, and the value of the benefits brought by these supplies is immeasurable.

After the two men discussed all night, they finally changed the plan to send troops to Australasia to support more weapons and equipment, and dispatched a military guidance group to help the French train their troops faster.

After all, Britain and France are obviously stronger now than in history.

But the French government underestimated the impact of successive defeats on soldier morale. After being bombed by the French Air Force one after another, the French army on the second line of defense seemed to have lost its fighting spirit, and even its attack on the German army seemed weak.

Especially when European countries were not so fanatical about war, the crazy German army seemed to be on the hook and was sure to win every battle.

But in terms of army combat effectiveness, the gap cannot be made up by the number of infantry. Among the three countries of Britain, France and Austria, France should be the one with the stronger army combat effectiveness.

Australasia's diplomatic representative John smiled and said: "Australasia has no intention to compete with the British Empire in the Indian Ocean, nor does it have any demands for the islands in the western Indian Ocean."

What's more terrible is that if the war continues, it will only increase casualties for France.

Obviously, if you want Australasia to send more soldiers to help France, France must give up some of its interests.

This also means that if they want to have a certain combat effectiveness, they must spend more time training.

But the problem is that so far, the recruitment progress of each of the three republics has not been smooth.

Although the British Empire has an armored force of sufficient size, the combat effectiveness of the British Empire's soldiers is relatively low, and they cannot compete with the German armored forces.

Anyway, we are already at full war with Britain, France and Australia, so we don't need to care about the negative impact that attacking the three Nordic countries will bring to Germany.

On July 28, the Allied Powers Conference headed by Britain and France was held in London. Australasia and many European countries participating in the war participated in this conference.

At this time, the atmosphere in the French government was already relatively delicate.

Although this seems crazy, we have to admit that the combat effectiveness of the German army at this time was extremely powerful.

Britain, France and Australia have almost carved up half of the United States, which has significantly improved the strength of the three countries.

But it is obvious that it is not attractive enough to Australasia, as if it is useless, useless to eat, and a pity to discard.

In fact, judging from the size of the army, the army numbers of Britain, France and Austria are not inferior to those of Germany and Italy, and in theory they can still fight.

Austria is undoubtedly the worst of the great powers. At the beginning of the war, Austria raised millions of troops and was even able to temporarily delay Germany.

Compared with the two small islands mentioned by the French, the land size of the Republic of Texas is much larger.

It can be seen from the map that these two islands are located in the western Indian Ocean and are distributed around Madagascar in an east-west pattern.

In order to win this war, the French were willing to go all out. In addition to the 200,000 troops from the United States, there will be 300,000 recruits from France and the colonies, who will train with them and join the war.

What's more, Texas not only has large reserves of oil and other materials, but also has a large population, which allows the French to gain huge benefits every year.

Hundreds of French fighter jets were blown up before they could even take off, and hundreds of pilots were killed or injured in the air raid.

Yes, in addition to placing their hopes on the colonial army, the French also expect that the three republics can form a large-scale army to help France defend its homeland.

As for Austria, as a country that was sanctioned after defeat in World War I, Austria lags behind other powers in the research and development of armored forces and air force.

With the release of this "Message to the Soldiers", the German troops on the front line were also mobilized in large numbers and marched toward Paris, France.

If you include the large number of soldiers who died in the war, the total number of French soldiers involved in this war has actually exceeded 3 million.

The day's discussions did not yield much results, but after the talks ended, the French representative found the Australasian representative and raised relevant issues of interest negotiation.

Of course, the two Mediterranean countries of Latvia and Estonia are also on Germany's attack list.

Although they cannot completely control the three republics like the colonies, they can still intervene in certain internal affairs and even make the three republics take the initiative to declare war on Germany through the influence of public opinion.

Among them, the most focused bombing was naturally Paris, the political center of France. In particular, the air force base near Paris suffered a devastating joint attack from the German and Italian air forces and was severely damaged.

This still makes sense. Even the powerful British Empire could never stop the German Empire that occupied France alone.

Moreover, it is summer and the Baltic Sea is still a warm ocean. But when winter comes, a considerable part of the Baltic Sea will be covered by ice, seriously affecting the movement of the fleet.

Including the transportation time from the United States to Europe, it is a question whether Paris will still be under the control of the French government after three months.

Even if it is divided into multiple countries, each country does not have such complete control over its own citizens. Speaking of which, because France had already concluded an alliance with these three republics, within a few days of the war between France and Germany, these three republics had already declared war on Germany.

This is why the French additionally requested Australasia to send a military guidance mission. Without the help of Australasia, it would probably take at least another two months to prepare these 150,000 people with combat effectiveness.

The French representative has only one purpose, and that is to ask more countries to join this war and stop Germany's crazy expansion.

Germany has invested even more people in the war. At present, the total number of troops has exceeded 4 million, and the total number of troops invested has exceeded 5 million.

According to the French plan for the three republics, within one month, the three republics will jointly provide at least 500,000 recruits, and after three months of training and half a month of transportation, in four Landed in France a month later.

However, John smiled and said that if France was willing to hand over the jurisdiction of the Republic of Texas to Australasia, Australasia could do more to help its allies.

As of July 27, 1936, Germany had successfully occupied the Netherlands and Denmark, and Latvia was also in danger.

In less than a week, the German army easily broke through the defense line from Amiens to Reims and moved towards the huge city not far away.

If it were at the beginning, the Germans could also purchase certain supplies from the three Nordic countries through peaceful means. But after the war broke out, the British strengthened their blockade of the Baltic Sea, and it was not so easy for the Germans to obtain enough supplies.

If naval bases can be established on these two islands, it will indeed greatly strengthen Australasia's control in the Indian Ocean.

Although the mobilization of the British mainland is relatively slow, fortunately, colonies are spread all over the world. Currently, the total number of troops in the entire British Empire is comparable to that of Germany.

On the same day, more than 1,000 German tanks ran rampant, and hundreds of thousands of German troops quickly approached Paris as if there was no one in the middle of nowhere.

For the current European battlefield, two months is enough to change a lot.

But currently, judging from the recruitment progress of these three republics, not to mention providing 500,000 troops, even providing 150,000 troops is so reluctant. More importantly, the United States pays even less attention to militarized training than France.

The British side was also frantically preparing for the next attack.

Therefore, after receiving the support of Australia, the French government made a bold decision to expand the more than 100,000 troops to 200,000 and then quickly head to France.

The British mainland alone currently has an army of nearly one million assembled. Of course, more than 300,000 of them are coalition troops who retreated from Dunkirk. They are resting and recuperating in the UK, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack next.

However, France did not attach great importance to armored forces before World War II. When facing Germany, which had a large number of armored forces, the gap became apparent.

The quarrel between the war faction and the peace faction once again caused France to become chaotic. Especially when the joining of Britain and Australasia did not change the war situation, some French people seemed to have the idea of ​​​​backing down.
