Bullets can be sold.

Mainz thought about it. Hans would launch a war against the Russians sooner or later, and the war against the Russians would never be as easy as it is now. The Russians are much larger than Gaul and have a much larger population. Their huge strategic depth makes it difficult for the German army to destroy them in a short time.

Unless they choose to surrender after the German army captures their capital like Gaul, otherwise, the Soviet-German War will probably last for a long time.

Although the main forces in the Soviet-German War were actually the armored forces of both sides, that is, the strength of the tank forces.

However, many tragic street battles broke out in this war. The courage and spirit of the Russians who fought to the death in history impressed Mainz.

In street fighting, the importance of infantry is reflected. Therefore

, the German army also needs to reserve a large amount of bullets, but the Soviet-German War cannot be fought for the time being. The German army has not yet solved the hidden danger of the sun never setting. After they solve the threat of the sun never setting, they can consider the problem of attacking eastward.

However, considering the possible duration and scale of the Soviet-German War, the existing German military strength is definitely not enough.

If I remember correctly, Mainz remembered that in the late period of the Soviet-German War, the total strength of the Soviet army once exceeded 12 million!

This number probably reflects the upper limit of the mobilization capacity of the bear!

Although Mainz is full of confidence in the army under his command, the army of more than two million is still too few.

So he plans to expand the army and form at least fifteen army groups, so that they can have 5 million troops!

With five million troops, the German army can form three field corps of the North, Central and South Army Groups.

Then, with these three corps, they will quickly advance into the bear’s territory after the war. As long as their advancement speed is faster than the bear’s retreat speed, the bear will not be able to withdraw its troops from the front line. Their experienced elite troops will be lost on the front line, and they will be surrounded and annihilated by the German army.

Based on Mainz’s understanding of Starlin, this guy will definitely deploy the most elite troops in the Soviet army in areas close to the border between the two countries.

The advantage of doing this is that, on the one hand, it can have the effect of deterring Hans and making him dare not act rashly.

On the other hand, once they have the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, these elite troops will be deployed on the front line, and they can be put into battle at the first time.

Therefore, for the German army, how to quickly eliminate the approximately 2.5 million Soviet troops on the front line at the beginning of the war is the key to this battle!

Most of these Soviet troops are veterans who have participated in the civil war of the bear. They are experienced, determined, and have strong combat effectiveness.

If they are not killed, they will definitely threaten the flanks and rear of the German army, so Mainz plans to use blitzkrieg to create a pincer attack effect, using armored units to surround the enemy, thereby destroying this elite Soviet army.

Once these most elite Soviet troops are eliminated, the rest will be much easier to deal with!

However, the Soviet army’s tenacious will is hard to be underestimated. In the Soviet-German War in history, most of the Soviet troops sent to the front line may not even have completed three months of recruit training. When the Battle of Stalingrad broke out, some soldiers who had only been concentrated and trained for more than a week were sent to the front line!

As a result, relying on these recruits, they actually held their positions and made dumplings for Paulus’s Sixth Army!

With this precedent, these recruits cannot be ignored, so Mainz plans to stockpile more supplies, emphasize the word speed after the war, and try to end the battle as quickly as possible!

At this time, the production line for producing ammunition must be expanded, and these production lines can earn profits by producing bullets and artillery shells for the Celestial Empire to maintain operation, and can also help workers accumulate experience and prepare for full production in the future!

So after thinking about it, Mainz agreed to the other party’s request

“Skoda Arsenal can produce 1 million rounds of bullets and 3 million rounds of bullets per month. I have approved all these bullets to you, but these production lines have just been established and the prices are very expensive. If you want to buy them, you should think carefully. Whether you can afford these prices depends on you!”

After Mainz finished speaking, he waved his hand to let Zhang Shaoshuai leave. He had done his best. In fact, the original weapons and equipment of Gaul and Jieke were quite good, and the production lines were ready. If they directly purchased these weapons, both the purchase cost of the weapons and the subsequent purchase unit price of bullets and shells would be very low.

In Mainz’s view, they did not need to use expensive new bullets for German equipment!

Ribbentrop did not know that Zhang Shaoshuai had just left here, and he did not meet him outside, so he did not know about this.

He pondered for a while and said:”The foot basin seems to want us to withdraw from the Celestial Empire and not interfere in their war against the Celestial Empire!”

After saying this, Mainz laughed. He was amused by the foot basin.

“Oh? Did they really say that? They are so arrogant. They want us to withdraw from the Celestial Empire and eat alone. What is their basis?”

Mainz knew that the Foot Basin people were very arrogant, but he didn’t expect that the Foot Basin people were so arrogant.

Do they really think that they are a real power just because they have joined the ranks of the great powers?

They take themselves too seriously, don’t they?

“Well, that’s probably their intention, but their attitude is not very tough!”

Ribbentrop recalled the previous meeting with the foot basin representative.

“If their attitude is not tough, why would they make this request? Could it be that they can provide us with any compensation?”

Mainz raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of something.

“Well, it looks like they do!”

“Oh? Tell me, how are they going to compensate us?”

Mainz didn’t expect that the Foot Basin would be so flexible, so he was very curious.

The Foot Basin people were actually very arrogant during World War II!

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, there was a blind optimism from top to bottom in the Foot Basin country, as if they could really punch the Eagle Sauce and the British Empire, and punch the Russian Bear and Gaul.

Their battles in Southeast Asia once again boosted their ambitions, making them feel that the Allies were just a show-off, and looked very scary, but were actually vulnerable.

Whether it was the Philippines or Lijiaopo, they easily defeated the hundreds of thousands of defenders here, with fewer troops and more backward weapons, and easily defeated the defenders!

Whether it was the US military or the British army, their fear of war boosted the arrogance of the Foot Basin people, making them look down on Europeans and Americans even more!

Unexpectedly, the Foot Basin would bow its head one day!

How strange!
