In addition to the Russians being saddened by the defeat of the Battle of Moscow, the Germans were also unacceptable to the outcome of this battle. Millions of elite German army soldiers were either captured or killed in battle, which was a serious blow to the German army. You should know that the troops sent to the Eastern Front battlefield in the early stages of the war were all elite troops of the German army. As for the troops mobilized later, the combat effectiveness was a certain gap compared with them.

Even after the second round of mobilization, the total strength of the German Army had reached 10 million. However, the Eastern Front battlefield lost one million and the Western Front battlefield lost more than one million, which made the German Army only more than eight million troops available. The enemies they faced were extremely powerful. In addition to the six armies of the Chinese Army on the Eastern Front battlefield and the four armies that arrived later, on the Western Front battlefield, they also had to face a total of eight armies from China, as well as hundreds of thousands of Belgian troops, hundreds of thousands of French Kingdoms* troops and nearly two million Spanish troops.

After the reinforcements of the Imperial Army continued to arrive in Western Europe, the Spanish Kingdom only left a small number of troops in the country, and the rest of the troops had been sent to the French battlefield. After receiving reinforcements, the Chinese, Western and French coalition forces gained a huge advantage in France, and the German, French coalition forces continued to retreat. If these troops were all combined, there were more than four million people. Therefore, the German army had to deploy half of the remaining troops on the Western Front. At the same time, it had to leave a lot of reserves to prevent emergencies. The remaining four million troops, after the defeat on the Eastern Front battlefield, had to send at least two million people to the Eastern Front to prevent the Chinese army from further attacking the Western Front. This made the German army's troops a little stretched.

When German Emperor William I and Crown William appeared in the Supreme Command, all the generals stood up. However, the atmosphere in the Supreme Command was also very serious. Due to the failure of the war, Germany's current situation was very bad.

The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Government also arrived at the Supreme Command. However, Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck and Earl Albrech von Ron were not very good-looking. The war was actually like this, and it was really hard to make them happy.

"Everyone, the meeting has officially begun. The Battle of Moscow has ended, and we and the Russians have both failed. In Moscow, we lost one million people. Our allies, the Russians, also lost more than one.5 million people. However, the losses we caused to the Chinese are very small. It is hard for me to imagine. Is our troops so much worse in combat than the Chinese? The German Army is a world-class and should not be like this." William I.

He said with a sad face. Although before the war began, the German top leaders had assured him that both the army and the navy had the strength to confront the Chinese army and navy. However, after the war began, they were quickly slapped in the face. Not only did the army suffer heavy losses, but the navy also suffered a crushing defeat. It can be said that Germany had almost lost the capital prepared before the war. William I himself did not have much confidence in whether this battle could achieve the final victory.

"Your Majesty, we have summarized the Battle of Moscow and found that in terms of weapons, equipment and tactics of both sides, we are indeed very different from the Chinese Army. Their infantry cooperates with the tactics of the armored forces. The tactics of the air force and infantry are worth learning from. Practical combat has proved that the Chinese tactics have extremely strong combat power." Earl Moltke said. His heart was also bitter. As the chief of staff of the German army, he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the German army. If it were put in the last world war, the combat effectiveness of the German army was definitely not worse than that of the Chinese army at that time. However, unfortunately, the progress of the Chinese army was too fast. In just a few years, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army has been improved to such a terrifying level. The German army has been far behind by the Chinese army.

"So, is there a way to deal with the Chinese?" asked William I. He no longer wanted to listen to these remarks. What he wanted was not the process, but the result. No matter how much the price he paid, as long as he defeated the Chinese, this was what he wanted to see.

"Your Majesty, we have now started to install war defense artillery, and the No. 3 tank has also begun mass production. The gap between us and the Chinese is gradually decreasing. Now, the cold winter is about to be led. The Chinese are not adapting to the cold, and in this winter, they will definitely not launch a large-scale attack. And by next spring, we will also complete the upgrade of the troops' weapons. At that time, we will definitely defeat theirs on the battlefield." Earl Moltke promised.

After listening to Count Moltke's analysis, William I was relieved. If the German Army could never confront the Chinese Army, then there might be no need to continue this battle!

"Where is the Air Force? The Chinese Air Force has played a very strong combat power in the Battle of Moscow. If it weren't for the Chinese Air Force, we might not have suffered such heavy losses in Moscow." Crown Prince William said.

"Your Highness, we have developed a new fighter, which is no worse than the Chinese fighter jets in terms of performance. This type of fighter jet should be able to compete with Chinese fighter jets. With them, we should be able to ensure the safety of our airspace. As for bombers, we are under intense development and are expected to be mass-produced within this winter. At that time, we can also bomb the Chinese army." Earl Moltke said. In terms of the Air Force, Germany is indeed too behind, and it is a little late to realize it. So much so that they are left far behind by the Chinese in this field.

Crown Prince William nodded and said nothing more. The Chinese army, navy and air force have already gained an absolute advantage. It is indeed very difficult for Germany to reverse the situation.

"Your Majesty, our allies, seem to have lost confidence in this war. This is a serious crisis for the empire," said Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck.

"What's going on? Could it be that they want to betray the German Empire?" William I's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Your Majesty, it's not yet. However, if the Empire has been losing on the battlefield, they will definitely not be buried with the Empire." Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck said bluntly. After all, the reason why those countries formed an alliance with Germany is to avenge the Chinese and gain more benefits while avenging them. However, if the Holy Alliance is destined to be unable to win and lose, why should they continue to fight? After all, if they continue to fight, it will have no meaning and will only cost them a greater price.

"Bastard!" William I couldn't help but curse.

"Tell me the specific situation." William I said.

"The Kingdom of Italy refused to send more troops to participate in the battle. Although the Chinese did not launch an attack on Italy, they obviously had already scared them. The Kingdom of Norway, Sweden and Denmark were unwilling to send their troops to fight abroad. Obviously, they had no confidence in the empire. Only the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Britain and Russia were still fighting. However, if the empire could not win on the battlefield and increase their confidence, they would probably make other choices." Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron said. Although Germany's strength is far stronger than these allies. However, without the restraint of these allies, the Chinese army could invest more troops to attack Germany. At that time, Germany will face a more serious blow.

In the final analysis, it is because the performance of the German army and navy in combat cannot reassure their allies. Everyone is afraid that they will fail again with Germany. Once they lose, they will inevitably be blackmailed by the victorious countries. They don’t want to do this. Therefore, these allies will inevitably have their own little thoughts in their hearts.

"I hope that this situation will change next spring, and we must defeat the Chinese on the battlefield. Otherwise, the German Empire will become a lonely man." William I said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Earl Moltke and other military generals nodded. However, they also knew how difficult it would be to defeat the Chinese on the battlefield.

After the end of October, the temperature in Europe began to drop generally. In particular, Russia had already had its first snowfall. This forced the Imperial Army to stop its large-scale offensive and turn to a comprehensive defense.

The Chinese are not particularly cold-resistant and cannot be compared with the whites. If they fight in the middle of winter, the generals of the Imperial Army will be extremely distressed. Therefore, the Imperial Army must survive this winter and launch a large-scale counterattack after the spring of the next year.

Fortunately, in order to deal with the cold winter, the Imperial Army has made preparations. A large amount of clothing, fuel and food for the winter have been distributed to ensure that the Imperial Army can deal with the cold winter.

This also caused the Peace Alliance and the Holy Alliance to stop large-scale firefighting. Although the Europeans should be a little cold-resistant, it is still impossible to launch a large-scale attack in the middle of winter. It would be better to take advantage of this winter time to take a good rest and fight again next spring. (To be continued...)
