“It’s not bad to do nothing and let them hit the wall!”
Mainz casually flipped through the list of countries participating in the crusade against the Russian bear.
This list covers dozens of European countries, including Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and many Western and Southern Europe.
It can be said that except for the Third Reich and Switzerland, almost all other countries have come to the fore. Even several puppet states controlled by the Third Reich, such as the newly established British Empire and Vichy Gaul controlled by Marshal Pétain, have expressed their willingness to send troops to participate in this just war! A damn just war, thousands of kilometers away, sending a large army to uphold justice, I’m afraid even a three-year-old child would not believe such words!
Everything is about interests!
The idea of the British Empire and Gaul is probably to use actual combat to test the strength of their own army. It would be best to win a few battles on the front line and use victory. to boost morale and allow the people to recover from the depression caused by the previous defeat at the hands of the Third Reich!
In fact, the best way to regain confidence for the people and the army is to defeat the German army on the front battlefield. This method is the most thorough and the most immediate!
However, the difficulty of defeating the German army is too great, so great that it is impossible to accomplish with the strength of these two countries alone.
They couldn’t beat the German army before they were defeated. Now that they have been defeated, their strength has been severely weakened. How can they have the strength to challenge the German army and the Third Reich!
They can’t beat the Third Reich, but they need news of victory to boost morale. The best way is to send troops to participate in another war and use the victory of another war to boost morale.!
Mainz was just watching the show as he viewed the actions of these European countries, especially the Italians!
Originally, in the plans within the Third Reich, combat operations against the Russians had already been put on the agenda.
If it weren’t for the Eagle Sauce that suddenly intervened and dragged the German army to fight them, the German army would have probably already invaded the Russians’ territory, and might even have planted the Iron Cross flag on the dome of the Kremlin in Russia! Instead of dragging
Russia into the quagmire of war in the first place, they were dragged into the war by the Eagle Sauce, which gave the Russians more breathing time!
At this time, a group of small European countries formed a group to attack Russia, and Mainz naturally agreed with both hands!
In this way, it can not only consume the strength of these European countries, but especially weaken them. Their military strength made the Third Reich face much less resistance when integrating the military forces of these countries.
On the other hand, no matter whether these countries can defeat the Soviet Union on the battlefield, as long as they can successfully drag it into the war, it is equivalent to helping the Third Reich!
Before the Third Reich officially joined the war, it could use this war to see the combat strength of the Soviet army and understand the combat habits and characteristics of the Soviet army.
It can also consume the military strength of the Soviet Union through such a war, thereby reducing the pressure faced by the German army when attacking!
Of course, if left alone, there may be another situation, that is, the Soviet army will practice with the armies of these countries, and the result will be stronger and stronger, from a group of inexperienced recruits to a strong army with a long history and rich experience!
If this happens, it is not good news for the German army, because it means that when the German army fights the Soviet army in the future, they will face a strong and experienced army!
In history, the reason why Operation Barbarossa was so successful was largely because the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army declined too quickly after the Great Purge, so that it seemed powerless in front of the well-trained and powerful German army!
The poor command system of the Soviet army was torn apart by the rapid attack of the German army. The lack of command by excellent generals caused millions of Soviet troops to be like a pile of loose sand, without any strength. After being attacked by the German army, most of the troops lost their positions, were defeated and annihilated!
But if the German army was facing an experienced and well-equipped strong army when Operation Barbarossa was launched, could they still achieve such results? I
‘m afraid there will be a big question mark!
However, all this depends on whether the European coalition forces are strong enough!
Two days later, when Carol II found Mainz, the matter of the European coalition forces had basically been determined!
In Europe, except for the Third Reich and a few countries, the rest of the countries chose to send troops to participate in this operation!
Carol II came to Mainz to ask for an audience, on the one hand, to invite the Third Reich to send troops to participate in this war, and on the other hand, to report this matter to him!
“There is no need to talk about the Empire’s participation in the war for the time being. We still have the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Treaty with the Russians, so we have no intention of fighting the Russians in the short term!”
Although he knew that the other party’s initiative to invite the Third Reich to join the war was just a polite formality, Mainz still responded seriously.
The result was of course a rejection. The strategic focus of the German army was not in Europe at this time, so it was naturally impossible to transfer the elite troops from North America all the way back to participate in this war!
Especially when these elite troops had just set out from their homeland and had not arrived in North America for a long time!
Involving the mobilization of hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, this is not a trivial matter. In order to prepare for the expedition of these troops, the Empire had collected a large amount of supplies early, consuming huge manpower, material resources and financial resources.
If they returned to the Third Reich from North America, it would mean that all the previous work of the German army would be in vain, and the huge price they paid would all be wasted!
“So that’s a pity!”
After hearing Mainz’s answer, Carol II pretended to sigh sadly, but he was actually very happy.
Like Italian Prime Minister Mussolini, he was most worried that the Third Reich would choose to join the war after hearing the news.
If the Third Reich really joined the war, no matter how many troops they sent, how many battles they fought, and how they performed in this war.
Just by relying on their reputation, they can take away most of the credit, and the Third Reich is obviously stronger than other countries, so once the German army joins the war, they may have to accept the leadership of the Third Reich!
