In the third year of Eiland Hill, after half a year of rest, the entire empire was already in a prosperous state. The oil extracted from the Dothan Empire and the Higgs region, as well as the rubber produced in the Dothan Empire, as well as the earthen forts and Asian
The rich steel production in the Rand region allowed the country to develop rapidly.
Because the distant magic empire of Greken was sending huge sums of money intentionally or unintentionally, Chris's military development could be described as rapid. He not only formed a large-scale army, but also equipped this army with many
new weapons.
In the sky, a large number of new fighter jets are equipped with troops, including P-47 fighter jets that emphasize firepower, and Mustang large-caliber aircraft cannon models that are responsible for escorting battles.
These fighter jets are generally equipped with large-caliber aerial cannons, and together with thousands of me-109s equipped with 20 mm caliber aerial cannons, they form a large-scale air force.
If the previous Airland Hill Air Force was a tactical air force, and its strength was its frontline air supremacy, the current Air Land Air Force's most enhanced strength is its terrifying strategic strike force.
Under Chris's insistence, at least 300 B-17 strategic bombers were put into service, as well as at least 700 B-25 bombers previously equipped. The strategic attack capabilities of this air force can be described as unparalleled. To have such
The number of bombers is mainly due to the accumulation and development of Elrashil's industrial talent pool.
Being able to possess these thousands of bombers is the real confidence of Airan Hill. If a country rashly starts a war with Airan Hill now, its strategic bombing power can completely destroy a country's war potential on its own.
What's even more frightening is that if a war breaks out, the Alan Hill industrial system cultivated by Chris will be fully transferred to wartime production. Dozens or hundreds of these bombers and fighter jets can be manufactured from the factory and filled.
front.
In other words, once the war begins, for up to two months, Ailan Hill's attack power may increase by about one-twentieth every day. If Ailan Hill's frontline troops cannot be eliminated at a faster speed, then
This air force will fight more and more after the war breaks out...
Also being strengthened is the Army of Ireland Hill. They have now expanded to form 10 group armies with a total of 1.5 million people. Except for the 8th Grassland Army, which has a smaller number of people, most group armies have at least three armies under their jurisdiction.
.
The 1st Army Group has been completely refitted into an Armored Group Army, and the 2nd Army Group is currently undergoing reorganization. Both armies are equipped with at least 3 armored divisions and have armored assault capabilities.
Because tanks performed poorly in the previous war against the Holy Demon Empire, the number of tanks in Airan Hill did not increase much. Compared with the increase in the number of thousands of bombers in the Air Force, it can be described as slow.
However, the ground forces have not been idle. They have focused their development on tracked armored vehicles. While the Army has equipped a large number of tanks, it has also equipped more than 400 armored vehicles.
Most armored vehicles are equipped with 30 mm caliber cannons for air defense and infantry cover. This is a lesson learned from war experience, and it is also a backup method prepared by Chris against high-end magicians.
If magicians attack armored troops at low altitude, these anti-aircraft guns, which are ready for battle at any time, can temporarily form a barrage and shoot down the magicians who are releasing magic.
Part of the remaining energy of the Army was invested in large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. They invested a lot of steel to make 88mm-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and installed these anti-aircraft guns on rubber-wheeled trailers.
Although these anti-aircraft guns cannot fire while moving, they can help the army form a battlefield air defense area after the defense line is fixed, thereby forcing the opponent's dragon knights and magicians to spend more energy penetrating through the army's frontline defense.
In terms of the navy, Eiland Hill established the First Fleet, and the commander is still Lawns. He is no longer a mere commander.
At least, the navy has a large fleet of two dreadnought battleships, four cruisers, and three submarines. Most of the time, it can only be anchored in the port or cruise in the southern seas to deter those in the south.
A mortal empire with only sailing ships.
If a war breaks out, Genesis can quickly suppress all hostile forces in the southern seas by relying only on the modified auxiliary cruiser he previously equipped and the fast cruiser he has in hand, and then land where he wants to land.
His Marine Corps now has the size of several divisions, and there is a transport fleet composed of hundreds of ships to provide them with material transportation support. The naval fleet commanded by Lawns can quickly paralyze all the opponent's coastal cities.
In the south, the 4th Army and the 5th Army, which are responsible for the attack, have almost no obstacles in front of them. It only takes a few days for them to storm into the opponent's hinterland, and they can occupy all these southern countries in about a month.
Chris's idea was very simple. What he wanted to do was to have the 4th and 5th Army quickly expand their territories southward and capture all the mortal empires when the frontal battlefield might not be able to advance quickly.
In this way, it can have a war potential comparable to that of several powerful countries in later generations. It can have more raw materials and more soldiers, and can persist in a protracted war until the end.
After careful preparation, Chris was ready for war. When Grecken summoned him to participate in the Magic Eye War, he planned to take the opportunity to intimidate the Holy Demon Empire and ask them to give up the road and allow him to build the crossing.
The Magic Empire has railroads and roads.
"We estimate that the Holy Demon Empire will not agree to our plan after receiving our note." Des looked at the road construction plan in front of him and said with some worry: "This kind of request makes the Holy Demon Empire crazy.
I will agree."
After more than half a year of military expansion plans, Eiland Hill is almost ready for a full-scale war. What everyone is waiting for is Grecken's attitude, not waiting for anything else.
Therefore, in the letter of credence that Ailan Hill is about to give to the Holy Demon Empire, their request is very excessive. It is equivalent to asking for about half of the Holy Demon Empire. This is definitely something that the Holy Demon Empire will not agree to.
requirements.
When this request is rejected by the Holy Demon Empire, then Chris and Elanthiel's troops will have reason to declare war on the Holy Demon Empire. As long as Grecken acquiesces to this request, Chris can occupy the Holy Demon Empire within half a year.
The entire Demonic Empire.
"In fact, we don't want them to accept our plan. I don't want one or even two of my armies to hang alone in Grecken, while the transportation lines behind them are under the control of other countries."
Waggron, who came back from the front line, said loudly.
Because of his outstanding command in the Higgs theater, he was promoted to general, and finally became the highest-ranking member of Airan Hill. As the actual number one person in the military, he is now a veritable frontline army of Airan Hill.
The commander-in-chief is regarded as the commander-in-chief at the level of the front army.
"We are just giving them a choice. If they choose to agree, then we will build these railways and roads first, so that in the subsequent war, we can advance faster towards the hinterland of the Holy Demon Empire." He said with confidence.
Mande opened his mouth to express his thoughts and looked at Chris.
After seeing the look of approval in Chris's eyes, the admiral continued: "And if they don't agree, we just show our kindness to Grecken, saying that we have tried our best to mediate, and it is the Holy Demon Empire that does not agree.
Agree with our plan."
Officials from the economic department, who had not tasted the evil for a long time, then echoed: "Anyway, war will always break out, the difference is only a few days later, or a year later."
Although they received a large amount of gold coins from Grecken as a supplement, for Alan Hill, who made a fortune due to the war, the lack of war is weaning them off, which makes the large Alan Hill plutocrats unable to continue to expand their income.
Very unhappy.
They are all carefully preparing for the next war. At this time, they will naturally stand up and wave the flag to declare war. They are eager for war, and eager for Elland Hill to return to the era of making huge fortunes based on war.
Deans also nodded and agreed with the idea of declaring war on the Holy Demon Empire: "Indeed, we cannot guarantee that the Holy Demon Empire will not cause trouble behind us when we help Grecken, so we can only kill them first."
"But, will the Eternal Empire remain hostile to us like the Holy Demon Empire?" Gurlo on the side is not worried about the Holy Demon Empire. He is worried about the Eternal Empire behind the Holy Demon Empire and the ones to the south.
There will be trouble in the Norma Empire.
"Hmph, it is unrealistic to expect those backward, second-rate magic empires to compromise. Of course they will be afraid of our expansion, and in fact we are indeed prepared to expand." Waggron sneered and interjected.
"Yes! We really don't shy away from this issue, and we don't need to! We are indeed ready to expand." Chris nodded with a smile and said: "As long as Gricken doesn't cause us trouble, of course we will take advantage of it.
Whatever is in the hand is in the hand.”
"As for Grecken, we can always be allies, and I have no intention of conquering the entire world." After he finished speaking, he looked at his generals and ministers, and then laughed together with everyone.
Amid their laughter, Ireland's machinery is still working tirelessly, and on those increasingly sophisticated production lines, planes one by one and tanks one by one are still being produced continuously.
