After solving the United States, Germany has no enemies in the Atlantic direction. However, Germany and its vassals occupy a large amount of land in the United States, and many Americans are also rebelling against the rule of Germany and its vassals. This forced Germany to temporarily station a large number of troops in the United States. But even so, in order to defeat the island country before Christmas, Germany still sent a large number of troops to the Far East. Especially for the newly formed group armies, most of the troops that have not yet had the opportunity to go to the battlefield have been dispatched to the Far East.

  Although the island nation is a very ferocious enemy, it would be relatively dangerous for recruits who have never been on the battlefield to deal with such an enemy. But even so, the German Supreme Command has great confidence in these troops. Because they are also the elite troops of the German army.

  Nearly half of the troops subsequently formed by the German Army were re-conscripted from soldiers who had retired in previous years. The rest, there is still a part of the backbone drawn from the main force. The rest are completely recruits. Those soldiers who were re-enlisted after retiring, although their physical fitness has dropped a bit compared to before, but with sophisticated weapons and equipment, they still have strong combat effectiveness. Even if it is against the elite troops of the Japanese army, it may not be bad. As for the crazy fighting will of the island army, it can also be resisted by virtue of its strong combat effectiveness. As long as they have been baptized by the flames of war, these newly formed troops of the German army are also world-class powerful troops.

  For the battle against the island country this time, Germany has not mobilized its servants for the time being. The German servant army is generally not very powerful in combat, and is good at fighting with the wind. If you encounter the vicious islanders, you might really be defeated by their fearless fighting style. In that case, not only will it not be able to become a help to the German army, but it will become a burden.

   After the German army invaded the mainland of the island country, these servants could come in handy. When the regular army of the island country was almost wiped out, the German servant army always had no problem dealing with the people of the island country.

  Germany's reinforcements to the Far East this time are very large. The army alone has 14 army groups with 2.8 million people. In order to send so many troops, weapons and supplies to the Far East, Germany enlisted a large number of ships.

  The power of the German maritime hegemony is fully displayed at this moment. More than 3,000 merchant ships and transport ships set off from the mainland of Germany, entered the Indian Ocean through the Mediterranean Sea, and then transported the German troops to the Indochina Peninsula and Australia.

  Such a huge capacity is enough to make the whole world look at it.

  In order to ensure the safety of the huge transport fleet, the German Navy also tried its best. Not only was the Atlantic Fleet dispatched to reinforce the Far East, but the Mediterranean Fleet was also dispatched to **** temporarily. This part of the voyage in the Atlantic and Mediterranean is safe. However, the part of the voyage in the Indian Ocean is full of crises. It is impossible for the island country to watch Germany send more troops to the Far East without doing anything. They will definitely try their best to intercept it. After all, if the German army can lose a lot of power during transportation, then their pressure will be relatively small.

   It's just that, under the full **** of the German navy, the navy of the island country has no chance at all. Whether a submarine or a light ship is used to launch a surprise attack, it will be intercepted by the German Navy. As for allowing the main force of the island nation's navy to enter the Indian Ocean to fight, the island nation's navy does not have the courage. The German Navy is now in the Indian Ocean, but it has assembled the main force of the navy. The Pacific Fleet, Indian Ocean Fleet, Atlantic Fleet, and Mediterranean Fleet are all assembled here. Even though the strength of the island nation's navy is very strong now, it is still not enough compared to the German navy that has assembled the main force. These fleets assembled by the German navy can easily destroy the navy of the island country.

  Although the navy of the island country has received an order to fight to the death with the German navy, rather than being wiped out by the German navy so easily, it is better to plan well and try to win this battle as much as possible. In other words, it caused as many casualties as possible to the German Navy. In that case, even if they are wiped out, they are still valuable.

  A large number of German troops and their equipment were transported by sea to Indochina and Australia. For a while, the routes from Europe to the Far East and Australia became very busy.

   This also makes Germany's military power is being rapidly mobilized.

   Compared with the army, the transition of the Luftwaffe is much easier. Transitions can be made through airports one by one. After a few days, the troops of the Luftwaffe have been transferred to the Far East and Australia. With the addition of several aviation clusters and strategic aviation clusters, the Luftwaffe already has an overwhelming advantage in this airspace. Neither the army aviation nor the naval aviation of the island country can compete with the Luftwaffe. Even if the Japanese Army Air Force has now replaced a large number of P-51 fighter jets and P-47 fighter jets, this situation cannot be changed.

  The German army gathered in the Far East and Australia in large numbers. If it is the army alone, plus the previous Army Group E, the total strength will be as high as 20 army groups. With such a large force, command is a big problem. Under the suggestion of the General Staff, the 20 armies of the German Army were reorganized. The original E group army will continue to be retained, and the remaining 14 group armies will be organized into three group army groups.

   Among them, Army Group E is still composed of the 11th Army, the 12th Army, the 21st Army, the 22nd Army, the 23rd Army and the 24th Army. The commander was Field Marshal Rundstedt.

  F Army Group consists of the 3rd Army, the 13th Army, the 25th Army, the 27th Army, and the 28th Army. The commander was concurrently held by the commander of the 3rd Army, Ferdo von Bock, and his military rank was promoted from general to field marshal.

  G Army Group consists of the 4th Army, 16th Army, 29th Army, 31st Army and 32nd Army. The commander is concurrently held by William Keitel, commander of the 4th Army, and his rank has also been promoted from general to field marshal.

  Army H consists of the 7th Army, the 19th Army, the 35th Army and the 36th Army. The commander was concurrently held by the commander of the 7th Army, Frank von Loeb, and his military rank was also promoted from general to field marshal.
