The reason why Europe was able to form a coalition in this war was largely due to the mediation of the Pope.

Without the religious upsurge set off by the Pope and calling on European countries to form a new Crusade, there would have been no way to form a coalition.

Now, the Pope, who used his influence to actively launch war, was the first to compromise.

After Ribbentrop sent away the drunk Zheng Sen, he thought for a while and then walked to the telegraph room.

Just as he entered the telegraph room, Ribbentrop changed his mind again.

"Prepare the airship, I want to go back to Berlin." Ribbentrop ordered, and his men immediately helped him prepare the airship.

Soon the main officers on the front line and the main ministers at home returned to Berlin.

A group of people at the highest level in Germany were sitting in the conference room. There were not many people, only about thirty people.

But they are the brains of Germany, in charge of everything in Germany.

"Gentlemen, I have summoned you from all parts of the empire to waste your precious time.

It was because Ribbentrop brought us two pieces of news. One was that the Pope had given up on us, and he personally advised the captured Swiss soldiers to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Now those Swiss soldiers are fighting for the Ming Dynasty in Baghdad, and the Kurds will be unable to hold on. It is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will occupy Baghdad in the next few days.

Their oil fields in the Middle East will be more stable."

As soon as Axi finished speaking, there was a "buzz" and "buzz" sound from below.

Before the war, the Pope was the one who clamored the most fiercely, but now... the one who compromises first is also the Pope. This makes many devout Christians very unhappy!

"Quiet!

There is second news, which is also not good news.

The Ming army may attack Gibraltar in July, if the Ming army successfully captures Gibraltar in close combat.

The powerful Ming fleet will enter the Atlantic Ocean, and the worst possibility is that...by the end of the year, the British will surrender, and the French are expected to surrender as well."

After Axi finished speaking, he glanced at the people in the room.

There was another "buzz" and "buzz" sound below!

This piece of news is even more explosive. Once the Ming army enters the Atlantic Ocean, Britain will be attacked first!

The United Kingdom is an island country surrounded by sea, and London is at the mouth of the Thames River.

Once the powerful Ming Dynasty navy enters the Atlantic Ocean, the existing European navies will be completely unstoppable.

At this time, the surrender of Britain and France was basically a certainty.

After all, too many of their factories are by the sea.

Even if artillery cannot reach it, the Ming army still has planes.

The war has reached this point, and everyone knows what the current war is about.

Now it is no longer a hundred years ago, when wars only required food.

Today's war is a war based on a country's comprehensive national strength.

No matter how brave the troops on the front line are, they still need factories in the rear to produce a variety of guns, ammunition, and various baggage materials.

Once the factories in the rear are destroyed, no matter how powerful the front is, it will not be able to fight without ammunition and material supplies.

The people here are all at the highest level in Germany, and they all understand that Germany, France and Britain are the main forces in this war.

Once Britain and France withdraw from the war, then...it is absolutely impossible for Germany to face the Ming Dynasty alone and win the battle.

Defeat is a word that no one wants to mention. Surrender is a symbol of humiliation.

Axi didn't say anything, just looked at his subordinates and said "buzz" and "buzz".

"Gentlemen, we need to discuss a countermeasure so that Germany will not suffer excessive losses in the war." Stauffenberg stood up and said.

There was silence below. Everyone knew how to reduce Germany's losses.

But no one wants to say it!

Because as long as the word "surrender" comes out of his mouth, then... he will never raise his head again in this life.

Moreover, there is a high probability that future generations will not even think about raising their heads.

Sometimes things are like this, everyone knows the right way to go and where the right direction is.

But no one wants to say it!

Axi looked at his silent subordinates. A group of people were silent all the time. There was silence in the huge conference room!

"The Ming Empire has put forward conditions for an armistice, saying that as long as we withdraw our troops from Russia and launch an attack on the French, the Ming Dynasty will recognize us as their allies.

Germany will not be attacked by the Ming Dynasty. They will ensure the integrity of German territory and will not harm German interests.

This is the condition proposed by Da Honglu of the Ming Empire!"

Ribbentrop stood up helplessly and said.

Still no one spoke, everyone looked at A Xi. Since you are the head of state now, you can say what everyone cannot say.

Axi didn't say anything. He was looking at his subordinates to see which of the people in power was responsible.

"Marshal Moltke, how is our army? Can it defeat the Ming army?" Herman said suddenly.

Everyone turned their attention to Moltke again!

Mao Qi looked around, his big bald head shining brightly under the crystal lamp.

The helpless Moltke glared at Herman!

I threw your son into the well, but he still slept with your wife. How dare you treat me like this at this time?

"Well……!

At present, our army and the Ming army are in a state of confrontation, and there is no actual contact between the two armies.

Naturally there will be no war!"

"Can we launch an attack and defeat the Ming army?" Herman asked again.

Moltke glanced at Hermann and began to think about where he had offended the Minister of the Interior.

"As far as I know, our army plus the Allied forces are twice as many as the Ming army.

With such a huge advantage, we cannot launch an attack to defeat the Ming army, but let the Ming army threaten us?"

Seeing that Moltke remained silent, Herman asked.

Mao Qi took a deep breath and said: "Although the Ming army and the Russian army are small in number, they are the ones that occupy the initiative on the battlefield.

Because they have tanks, aircraft, and artillery support that is much more ferocious than ours.

Take the last battle of Smolensk as an example. After our army consumed three bases of ammunition, a huge problem arose in logistics supply.

Soldiers on the front line simply cannot get enough ammunition supplies.

As for the Ming Army, their ammunition consumption was two to three times that of ours, but their artillery shells were still hitting our positions one after another, like raindrops.

This shows that there is no problem at all with their logistical support.

The reason why there is such a big gap is because our logistics supplies for the last 100 kilometers or so relied on animal power.

A large group of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts are completing such work.

Even so, our transport team would still be bombed and strafed by the Ming army from time to time.

The losses on the road were huge!

Many times, troops can only rely on night transportation to maintain supplies on the front line. Therefore, we can only hoard a lot of supplies close to the front line.

But once these places were discovered by the Ming army, they would immediately be bombed by bombers. Sometimes the losses were heavy.

Now our supplies can only rely on rapid supplies by airships at night. This is a drop in the bucket for the front line, which consumes huge amounts of money.

But the Ming army's small and lightweight railway tracks could be laid fifty kilometers away from the battlefield.

We have no planes to bomb them because their planes and anti-aircraft guns can easily shoot down our airships.

Even for the last fifty kilometers, they still have trucks and tractors. Their soldiers, supplies, etc. can be sent to the front line almost unlimitedly.

Our soldiers are fighting with flesh and blood and steel.

The only thing we can hope for is field fortifications.

In fact, our army has lost its ability to proactively attack under field conditions.

All we can do is maintain the current front line, if... the Ming army does not launch a large-scale attack." After Mao Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Hermann.

"One more thing, the Hebrews and the Austro-Hungarians on the central front are finished.

There is a huge hole in the central front. This hole is too big. The Polish army filled it in, but its effect was very limited.

We all know that Poland's most well-trained army was all consumed in the early stages of the war, either killed by the Ming Dynasty or captured by the Ming Dynasty.

We don't even know the combat effectiveness of this Polish army now...

If the Ming army launches another assault on the central front, there is a high probability that the Polish army will not be able to hold its position.
To be continued...
