The Third Reich: The Return of the King

"General Bantner, how many troops would you need if I asked you to destroy the German army in Odily?"

The fierce protests in the country made King Ferdinand I very dissatisfied, so he planned to directly bypass the parliament, use the king's power in his hands, and directly order the army to march into Odily!

This is very risky, of course, if they succeed, then the reward will be very rich, King Ferdinand I can not only use this war to encroach on more land of Odili and establish great prestige for himself, but also greatly strengthen the strength of Ronnie, and make the country under his rule even stronger!

Eastern Europe has not had any powerful countries since ancient times, and it has been suppressed by Western Europeans since the Middle Ages, and after the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, a large area of Eastern Europe was occupied by the Ottoman Empire and ruled by pagans.

Ronnie was liberated from the Ottomans by the Woolly Bears more than fifty years ago after the Russo-Turkish War, and since then it has only become truly independent.

Such a short history has made it difficult for Ronnie to rise quickly from the ruined ruins, and until now, Ronnie has only been an agricultural country.

And the history of the First World War tells the world that if a country does not have a strong enough army, it can only be reduced to fish on someone else's chopping block to be slaughtered!

If you want to build a strong army, there are only two ways, one is to purchase arms from abroad and use the purchased weapons to arm yourself, so as to strengthen yourself, just like Ronnie Ya now.

Of course, this solution is not a long-term solution, and for a backward agricultural country, expensive weapons and equipment are enough to break the bank.

So only the second way is the long-term way!

The second way is to take the road of independence, establish your own factory, establish your own military academy, arm your own army with the weapons produced by the military factory, and use the outstanding talents trained in the academy to lead the troops to fight!

This method is now unanimously recognized and implemented by the mainstream powers of Europe, and if Ronnie wants to become a great power and sit on an equal footing with the great powers, there is only one way to go!

However, if you want to develop the military industry and establish your own industrial system, you need money!

Relying on the sale of agricultural products and various resources, Roniya's financial talents will be maintained, and there is no money to vigorously develop the country's industry, and the only way is to fight foreign wars, plunder the wealth and resources of other countries through war, and even obtain war reparations, so as to rise rapidly!

In the past 50 years, there have been two countries that have risen in this way, one is Prussia, which won the Franco-Prussian War, and they quickly rose from a small country to a large country in Europe II, and even suppressed the Gauls!

The second is the footbasin of the Far East, which is still a very backward agricultural country, and to some extent even more backward than Ronnie.

However, it is such a backward country, but through a Sino-Japanese War from the Qing Dynasty to get a large amount of war reparations, and with these war reparations, they rose rapidly, which led to the brilliant results of the Russo-Japanese War ten years later, and after the victory of the Japanese War, the footbasin successfully entered the ranks of the world's first-class countries, and was recognized by Western countries and the world's mainstream powers!

With these two examples in front of him, Ferdinand I naturally wanted to learn from them!

And the first step in the rise of these two countries began through wars against other countries around them!

Therefore, King Ferdinand I regarded this war against Odili as the first step in the rise of the Ronniya Empire, and he played a good calculation in his heart, as long as this war was won, his army marched into the splendid Viena and looted it, and then occupied the iron and coal mining areas in the southeast of Odili by the way, and then demanded a war reparation from the Odili government!

With the looted wealth and war reparations, and the use of Odili's mineral resources, they will be able to realize their dream of industrialization, and then with these industrial bases, they will expand southward with the army armed with the military industry, and then the Bulgarian, Tuji, Balkan Peninsula and other places will be big fat sheep in their mouths!

At the thought of such a glorious future in the near future, King Ferdinand I could not bear it!

He can't wait to see this day as soon as possible, to see the day when his name is sung by people!

General Banttner didn't feel as good as his own king, and he didn't know the bottom of his mind about the war with the Odili that had not yet broken out.

After arriving in the border area, General Bantner sent a large number of spies to Odili to spy on the German army, and the intelligence spied on the spies made General Banttner's heart deeply disturbed!

His intelligence showed that the German army had opened the passage to the southern part of Hans at this time, and a large number of supplies from Hans mainland had begun to enter the territory of Odili, and it was even rumored that the main force of the German army was under the leadership of General Seckert and was heading south to Odili!

General Seckert's army was 200,000 men, a genuine army that had come down from the battlefields of World War I, and they were all elite veterans after a hundred battles, not only well-equipped, but also experienced in battle, and led by extremely outstanding generals.

If this army joins the fray, then the Ronnies won't have the slightest chance!

In fact, even if this army did not enter Odily, General Banttner would already find it tricky with the expanding German army of Odily!

However, in the presence of the expectant King, General Banthner knew what he had to say, and the King did not like to listen to words that would make others discourage and destroy his own prestige, so he had to say something that His Majesty liked to hear!

"Your Majesty, I think that by giving us another 200,000 troops, we can defeat this enemy army and smoothly occupy the mining area in the south of Odili, and if conditions allow, my army may even take Virena, the capital of Odili!"

This answer from General Bantena was quite unsatisfactory to King Ferdinand I, who felt that his general was too conservative!

Give him another 200,000 troops, that is 250,000 troops, which has accounted for 7% of the entire army of Roniya, Ronnie is a small country, the total population is only a little more than 11 million, the First World War brought more than 800,000 casualties to Ronnie, including more than 400,000 casualties in the army.

Although Roniga rebuilt the army after the war, due to the serious shortage of young adults in the country, the rebuilt army was only 350,000 people, and General Bantner asked for 250,000 troops as soon as he opened his mouth, which was unacceptable to King Ferdinand I!

"At most, give you another 100,000 people, it can't be more!"
