Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Finally, with the help of Pius XI, the protest that swept John and Millician came to an end.

Knowing that John's Empire and Millican were able to settle down with the help of Pius XI, Gaul, Hans Empire and the Kingdom of Italy secretly lamented their pity and could only accept their fate.

After all, Pius XI was known as a good old man, so they expected him to intervene.

However, even with the intervention of Pius XI, this protest lasted for nearly half a year.

In this critical half-year, John's Empire and Millician had no time to worry about anything else, so the Three Kingdoms Alliance used this half-year to develop rapidly.

Especially the Hans Empire, under Adolf's instruction, in the past six months, the Hans Empire has closed down all stores and factories with YT capital background.

And those YT people cleared them all out of the Hans Empire.

After clearing out these people, the economic environment within the Hans Empire was very good.

Taking advantage of this favorable economic situation, the economic situation within the Hans Empire has improved.

Adolf's support in the country has reached an astonishing level.

After the John Empire and Milician finished handling their domestic affairs, they discovered that they no longer had any means to limit the rise of the Hans Empire.

Seeing this scene, the Rhineland Republic was filled with hatred.

As a result, the Rhineland also began to tear up the treaty that after the founding of the country after World War I, it could not have an army.

However, the Rhineland Republic did not have an army before, so it is unknown how effective the army they formed will be.

However, they are really rich if they are rich.

Therefore, the National Defense Force they formed was well-equipped with weapons and equipment, making everyone around them envious.

As for the final combat effectiveness, it can only be tested on the battlefield.

However, what surprised everyone was that the Three Kingdoms Alliance was very calm about the Rhineland's formation of an army. It could even be said that it was a little cold.

Especially Gaul and the Hans Empire, it's as if they didn't see this happening.

Perhaps, the situation in the Rhineland was already expected by the Gallic Empire and the Hans Empire. After all, it is common knowledge that the two of them are unhappy with the Rhineland Republic.

Perhaps for Gaul and the Hans Empire, what the Rhineland is doing now is reasonable.

Facing the two largest army powers in Europe, the first and second largest, it would be foolish to remain calm and not form an army.

Besides, as far as the army is concerned, who are the Gallic Empire and the Hans Empire afraid of?

Maybe I'm afraid, but that country is in Asia.

And on the European side, whether it's the John Empire. Whoever it is, in the eyes of Gaul and the Hans Empire, they are all soft-footed shrimps.

The strength of John's empire lies in his navy, and the strength of Millican lies in his logistical supplies and economic strength.

The army has always been the weak point of both countries.

This can be seen during the First World War.

In almost all ground wars, the Gallic army took the lead.

It can be said that the entire positional battle of World War I can actually be seen as a showdown between the Gallic Empire and the Hans Empire.

The other countries on both sides are more like making soy sauce and waving flags.

Some people may say that this is just World War I. By the time of World War II, Gaul only lasted 39 days.

So again, don’t look at the surface of everything, look at the essence.

At least I said that the army of the Kingdom of Italy is very weak, just for fun, but is Italy's combat effectiveness really weak?

They have a complete military industrial enterprise, weapons can be manufactured locally, excellent logistical supplies, and even refrigerators. They just want the soldiers on the front line to eat better.

Such logistical supply capabilities, coupled with their occasional dazzling results, so I ask, is Italy really weak?

I think back then, on the Eastern Front battlefield, millions of Hans' troops suffered heavy losses, but Italy managed to break out of the siege.

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, from the beginning to the end of World War II, how many heavy casualties did the Kingdom of Italy suffer?

All these can prove that the combat effectiveness of the Kingdom of Italy is not weak, at least not as weak as everyone imagines.

They just don't have the will to fight and are unwilling to fight.

As we modern people often say, the Kingdom of Italy is the kind of fishermen on the battlefield.

Looking at the Gallic Empire, is its strength really weak?

Not always!

This can be seen from some events after the war.

After World War II, it can be said that America has expanded its sphere of influence to Europe. Let the whole of Europe obey his arrangements.

This can be seen from the military bases America has in Europe (including now).

However, among all NATO countries, there is one country that does not have a military base within the United States, and that is the Gallic Empire.

Originally, Millican also wanted to send garrison troops to Gaul, because with the garrison, they could better control the area.

The mighty John Empire had no choice but to bow its head at the beginning. However, on the side of the Free Gallic Empire (that is, Free France), the Milicians hit a snag.

De Gaulle refused to allow the Americans to garrison troops in Gaul. At the same time, after the war, the Gallic Empire rose rapidly. Why do you think this is?

De Gaulle refused because he was confident and had the entire Gallic Empire behind him.

Millican compromised because the other party was the Gallic Empire.

Why is there such a situation?

If you think about it carefully, is it possible that the Gallic Empire suffered too much during World War I and almost a generation died.

Later, he finally regained his strength, but then he encountered World War II again.

Marshal Pétain, who had experienced World War I, was unwilling to repeat the tragedy of World War I, so after taking over the presidency from Paul Reynaud, he began to prepare for peace talks.

Then it retained a powerful Gallic Empire for the later De Gaulle, and then gave De Gaulle the capital to negotiate with America on an equal footing?

Not to mention these things, just looking at it on paper, the Gallic Empire has a complete industrial line and can be self-sufficient in all kinds of weapons.

And the title of Europe's strongest army, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is he really surrendering so easily?

Some people may say that the Maginot Line, which the Gallic Empire invested heavily in building, did not play its due role. The Gallic Empire was caught off guard by the Hans Empire, so it surrendered.

So if you look closely, the Hans Empire's march route in World War II is almost exactly the same as during World War I.

During World War I, the Gallic Empire could block the Hans Empire at the Marne and Somme rivers, so why not during World War II?

Moreover, during World War II, the head of the Gallic Empire was Pétain. He was a marshal during World War I and was a professional soldier.

Therefore, there are no mistakes in command or misjudgment.

After all, they had done these things in the Gallic Empire more than 20 years ago, and now they could do it again. For Pétain, who had participated in World War I, it could be said that it was easy and familiar.

But he still chose to surrender before the Hans Empire could break through the defense line.

Such a result can only occur because the Gauls do not want to fight. It is not because the Gallic Empire does not know how to fight and its combat effectiveness is weak.
