Chapter 51: Lao Ying doesn’t want to act anymore?
[Germany said that what we do is the elite! ]

【Fight! Fight! Fight! 】

【But it is clear that attacking France will be an extremely difficult war. 】

[Not to mention that the two great powers, Britain and France, serve Germany. ]

[Also, although the Netherlands and Belgium are small countries, they know that they will be attacked sooner or later, so they have been trying their best to develop their military strength and have made full preparations for war.]

[Although these two countries are small, they also have a population of tens of millions and an army of hundreds of thousands. ]

[The two camps are Germany VS Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium. 】

[Before the war, which army was stronger, the German army or the Allied army? ]

[To get the answer, we need to look at the paper data of the two warring parties. ]

[We have previously compared the paper strength of the German and French armies.]

[Now add the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other countries to the mix. ]

Late Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei's prediction:

"Although the sky says that Britain is unreliable, it is still one of the world's top powers."

"Whether the UK is serious or not is not clear, but on paper they definitely have a lot of troops."

"I remember that the French alone had a 50-50 ratio with the Germans on paper, or at least a 40-60 ratio."

"Now add to that the United Kingdom, which is even more powerful than France, and the two younger brothers, the Netherlands and Belgium."

"On paper, the Allies should be 70% to 30% ahead of the Germans."

Liu Bei made a prediction and looked at the sky with full confidence.

[On the eve of the war, the German army had a total of 141 divisions and about 335 million troops. ]

[7400 artillery pieces, 2500 tanks, and 5600 aircraft. ]

[On the Allied side, there are a total of 135 divisions with a total strength of approximately 330 million people. ]

[There are 86 divisions in France, 13 divisions in Britain, 22 divisions in Belgium, and 13 divisions in the Netherlands.]

[The Polish government-in-exile also has a division.]

[The Allies had an absolute advantage in the number of artillery pieces, with a total of nearly 14000 pieces.]

【There are more than 3800 tanks. 】

[As for aircraft, the Allies had fewer, less than 3,000 in total.]

[France has more than 1500, the UK has just over 1000, and the Netherlands and Belgium have less than 200 combined.]

[It can be seen that the forces of the two warring parties are almost equal. ]

[The Allies have an advantage in artillery and tanks, while the Germans have a clear advantage in the air force. ]

Outside the sky.

Ying Zheng looked at the strength comparison between the two sides before the war.

While lamenting the unprecedented scale of future world wars, I suddenly discovered a problem.

"Li Si, if I remember correctly, Britain recruited more than 10 million troops in World War II?
"And Tianmu also emphasized that Britain did not do its best to send all men to the war, but instead limited the proportion of men joining the army."

"Because Britain has many colonies, it can use soldiers from the colonies to supplement its troops."

"That is to say, the mobilization potential of the United Kingdom is very exaggerated and is definitely stronger than that of France."

"I think I'm not mistaken about this?"

Li Si replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, you have an excellent memory, so you are certainly not wrong, but I will still look through the records again."

The bamboo slips recording the sky curtain were placed on the table in front of Li Si.

Li Si flipped through it casually and confirmed the data.

As Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng said, Britain mobilized more than 10 million troops in World War II before exhausting its full strength.

Ying Zheng nodded.

Then he stated the problems he found.

"That German army was extremely fierce. It had destroyed Poland a month earlier, shocking the whole world."

"And Britain and France have already declared war on Germany."

“There’s plenty of time to prepare.”

“Now it’s almost a year.”

"France has 86 divisions, and its population is just over 4000 million. Obviously, 86 divisions have done their best." "But Britain has already declared war."

"Why does Britain only have 13 divisions?"

"Doesn't that mean Britain only has over 200,000 troops?"

"What about Belgium? Tianmu said it was a small country, but even Belgium has 22 divisions!"

"And the so-called world's most powerful country, Britain, only has 13 divisions. Is it on the same level as the Netherlands?"

“Is the UK deliberately letting the water out?”

Ying Zheng was almost certain that the British guy was definitely letting the game go!

The same certainty was also given to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had previously thought that even if Britain did not go all out, it would at least send out some troops to boost its morale for the sake of face.

Even if you just stand by and watch after the fight starts.

But before the fight starts, we need to get more people involved, right?

Therefore, Liu Bei had predicted before that the Allied forces' paper data before the war would be at least 73% to the German army.

The result was unexpected.

Liu Bei knew that the British were unreliable as allies.

But never expected.

It's so unreliable!

"Germany has a massive army approaching, and Britain is sending 20 troops?"

"You don't even want to act anymore?"

"I don't know how the French offended the British and were tricked by them!"

"If France is defeated and destroyed by Germany in the subsequent development, then I estimate that Britain will bear at least 30% of the responsibility!"

"With such an ally, France is really hungry."

"If I were the French emperor in the future and found out that my allies treated me so perfunctorily, I would have turned the table over long ago!"

Zhu Di.

"Wait! Why is there still a Polish division? Wasn't Poland destroyed?"

"Oh, by the way, Tianmu also mentioned earlier that there was a Polish division that went into exile in France."

"I wonder if France held out in the end?"

"Although I don't think that with such a strong French force, they will be defeated in a month as Tianmu said before."

"But combined with all the previous information, and seeing that the UK is acting so openly."

"It felt very likely that Germany would win in the end."

“It’s just going to cost a pretty heavy price.”

"But in any case, if France is also conquered by Germany, then wouldn't this Polish division that defected to France be destroyed again?"

"That would be embarrassing."

The sky continues.

[On paper, the Allied forces of Germany and Britain, who were in a state of paddling, may have their own advantages and disadvantages. ]

[It’s still fifty-fifty.]

[It is obvious that fighting an opponent of equal strength to you is not easy. ]

[German leader Hitler was also mentally prepared for a tough battle.]

[In order to win, Hitler was willing to pay the price of 100 million casualties, and he also needed a genius battle plan. ]

[The German plan was initially codenamed the Yellow Plan.]

[Simply put, the Yellow Plan is to have the main force of the German army attack the lowland areas on the northern front and quickly eliminate the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. ]

[During this period, the main force of the British and French coalition forces was severely damaged, thus gaining an advantage on the battlefield. ]

[Eventually forced the British and French coalition forces to agree to peace talks. ]

[Either they stay in France and dare not take action. ]

[Germany, having acquired the rich lowland areas, can quickly improve the country's overall industrial strength and enhance its naval and air force capabilities.

[In the subsequent development, there is the potential to completely defeat Britain and France! ]
