Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Compared with Schlieffen’s blind pursuit of speed, he hoped to win the battle on the Western Front in the shortest possible time and win the entire war.
But Auguste hoped to destroy as many of the enemy’s forces as possible on the battlefield and thus lay the foundation for victory.
It is said that “the land is lost, and the land is lost.” Where people lose ground, everyone lives! ”
Whether it is the Gaul State or the Empire of the Rising Sun, the number of troops that can be mobilized is very limited.
Gaul had less than forty million men and mobilized an army of up to four million. And the Empire that never sets has a population of more than 40 million, how many armies can it mobilize?
In addition, the Empire still has vast colonies to defend, and the homeland to defend, how many expeditionary forces can be sent to the European continent to fight?
Once their main forces had been devastated in the kingdom of Belgium. Well, they will be hit hard. It is difficult to resist the attack of the Germanic Empire again.
What’s more, August is well aware that in the existing technological situation, it is undoubtedly very difficult to win this war quickly. This great war is destined to be a protracted war.
However, compared with another time and space, the Great War lasted for a full four years before it ended with the collapse of the Germanic Empire. In this one space and time, the Germanic Empire was ready for everything and became more powerful. If the war could be ended in two years, it would already be very good.
August did not want the army to attack quickly, causing problems in the battle and losing the war. In that case, the Germanic Empire would undoubtedly pay a greater price.
“Your Majesty, if we are not able to defeat the Gaul state as soon as possible and win victory on the western front. Then we will be in a two-front battle for a long time. This will be very detrimental to us. After all, we are equally undermanned. Admiral Moltke Jr. reminded.
All along, after he came to power, he made changes on the basis of the Schlieffen plan, but he did not think of completely changing the Schlieffen plan.
August nodded, “Two-front combat is inevitable for the Empire. The Empire was located in central Europe, surrounded by enemies. Once war breaks out, it will inevitably be attacked by the enemy on both sides. However, I don’t think that’s the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that the Empire had to do everything in its power to win the war.
As for the shortage of troops, once war broke out, the Empire would begin a nationwide mobilization to mobilize enough troops on a large scale. The Empire’s strategic reserve system has been completed, with a large number of resources, which will not be a constraint on the mobilization of the Empire. After the war, the Imperial Army will quickly mobilize a hundred infantry divisions and form ten more army groups.
With these troops, whether they were thrown into the eastern or western fronts, the Empire had enough troops. At that time, the Empire will naturally not be afraid of two-front combat.
As long as the Imperial army can constantly annihilate the enemy’s living forces on the battlefield. The enemy’s war potential will become weaker and weaker. This would be very beneficial for the Empire to win this war. In particular, relatively sparsely populated countries such as Gaul and the Empire of the Rising Sun could not afford such attrition. By then, the Empire will soon be able to win this war! ”
Auguste’s words plunged Admiral Moltke Jr. and the generals of the Army into contemplation.
Admiral Moltke Jr. even whispered with Admiral Von Falkenhain, and seemed to discuss whether to revise Schlieffen’s plan again.
“I think His Majesty the Emperor is right in his view that if we are not able to annihilate the main forces of the Gauls and the Sun, then we have penetrated the kingdom of Belgium and invaded the territory of the Kingdom of Gaul. Even if we had taken it, as long as the Gauls had enough troops, they might not have surrendered. In this way, the war will continue. If we want to beat their goal quickly, naturally we can’t achieve it. At that time, we will also face the disadvantage of two-front combat.
On the contrary, if we take the annihilation of the living forces of the Gauls and the sun-setting people as the core, we only need to annihilate their main forces through one or two large-scale battles. So, will the Gauls still be able to withstand our attacks? The whole of Gaul can no longer resist us. Even if they have the heart to continue to fight, they don’t have enough strength to fight!
When the time comes, we will naturally be able to win the war! ”
Lieutenant General Ludendorff, deputy chief of staff and director of armored forces, said.
The other army generals also nodded their heads in agreement.
“Your Majesty, if that’s the case, let’s revise the plan!” Admiral Moltke Jr. said.
“War hasn’t broken out yet, and we still have plenty of time!” August said.
Subsequently, the Germanic General Staff decided to revise the Schlieffen Plan again, and the revised Schlieffen Plan was called the New Schlieffen Plan.
In the new Schlieffen plan, the first goal will be to annihilate the living forces of the Gaul Kingdom and the Empire of the Rising Sun, so that the victory of this battle can be won completely.
If the previous Schlieffen plan was to be fast and win by surprise. The new Schlieffen plan, then, was to seek stability and ensure victory.
In the neo-Schlieffen plan, two large-scale battles were planned to complete the goal of annihilating the main forces of the Gaul Kingdom and the Empire of the Rising Sun. The first battle was fought in the kingdom of Billys. That is, in the process of the Germanic Empire’s onslaught on the Kingdom of Belgium, it attracted reinforcements from the Gaulish Kingdom to the Kingdom of Belgium. Then, annihilate their main forces here.
The second battle was placed in the north of the Gaul State, where it was prepared to destroy the main forces of the Gaul State and the Imperial Expeditionary Force of the Sun Never Set, thus completely laying the foundation for victory.
August also appointed the commander of the next ten armies of the Germanic Army, general Klucker, commander of the 2nd Army, General Billow, commander of the 3rd Army, General Hausen, commander of the 4th Army, The Duke of Württemberg, commander of the 6th Army, Prince Rupricht, commander of the 7th Army, General Waldzer, Commander of the 8th Army, general Mavitz, commander of the 9th Army, General Hindenburg, The commander of the 10th Army was General François.
