Chapter 1043 Ten Years of Development
After Germany taught the United States a severe lesson, the United States was very honest in the future. As a result, Germany's dominance was further consolidated.
After all, the United States is the second most powerful country in the world after Germany. Even the United States has nothing to do with Germany, let alone other countries. For a time, Germany truly dominated the world.
With no enemies in the world, Germany's main energy is also on developing the domestic economy and people's livelihood. Because it has the most extensive overseas colonies in the world as a market and a source of raw materials, Germany's industry has developed very rapidly. In 1921, it surpassed the United States and became the country with the highest industrial output value. At the same time, Germany's development momentum is very strong, with an annual economic growth of more than 10%. This has made Germany stronger and stronger, and the gap with other big countries has gradually widened.
In this decade, Germany basically completed the integration of European industries. Northern France and Belgium have been completely annexed and digested by Germany. Although, the hostility of the locals towards Germany has not been completely eliminated. However, under Germany's policy of fragmentation and disintegration, most people seem to have accepted their new identity. This is also the reason why German industry can develop rapidly.
As for the eastern province of Germany, the original Austria, it was also digested. Even, they were digested a little earlier than northern France and Belgium. With the Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer in existence, the Austrians seem to be able to only identify themselves as Germans. After all, most Austrians are originally Germans. Besides, Germany is the most powerful country in the world, especially after Germany beat the United States again, it made many Austrians proud of being German. Under such circumstances, the resistance to integrating them into Germany is undoubtedly much smaller.
In the past ten years, Qin Tian has not only put a lot of effort into the economy and people's livelihood. At the same time, breakthroughs have been made in internal affairs. The German Empire consisted of the Kingdom of Prussia and many other states. It's just that the power of those states is not as great as those that make up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, they also have great autonomy.
In order to strengthen the power of the central government, Qin Tian used the method of boiling frogs in warm water to gradually bring most of the power of these states into the hands of the central government, and only reserved a very small part of power for the states. At least, they have no other choice for the central government except to obey orders.
During this process, some states also chose to resist. It's just that they basically didn't end well. Qin Tian was almost deified in Germany. One of his, no one can resist at all. It was precisely based on this consideration that Qin Tian started to gather power.
Qin Tian knew that the future war would be greater than the first world war, no matter in terms of scale, duration, and losses. Therefore, he hopes that in the future war, Germany will have only one voice. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice to gather domestic power before that.
Fortunately, although there were some twists and turns, overall, it was relatively smooth. Today's Germany has become a highly centralized country. The decrees issued by the central government are unimpeded throughout the country.
Everything Qin Tian did was to prepare for the future war. Qin Tian knew that although Germany won the last world war. However, in the future war, Germany also cannot afford to lose. If you lose, then everything now will disappear in smoke. Only with another victory will Germany's dominance be truly firm. Therefore, Qin Tian hopes to do his best to win the next war. Before the outbreak of war, it is natural to make all preparations.
Although Germany's military power has slowed down over the past ten years. However, everything is developing in an orderly manner according to Qin Tian's plan. The army's mechanized units are being updated. At the same time, the rehearsal for the blitzkrieg began. Qin Tian hopes that after the outbreak of future wars, the mechanized troops of the German Army can quickly defeat Bu Russia with overwhelming momentum.
In terms of the navy, the aircraft carrier strike group with the "Constellation-class" aircraft carrier as the main force is being established step by step. This will allow the German Navy to use the "Constellation-class" aircraft carrier and the next-level more powerful aircraft carrier as the main force of naval warfare in future wars. Judging from the current situation, although the number of main battleships of the German Navy has not increased much, their performance has been greatly improved. In addition to the main warships based on aircraft carriers, other small and medium-sized warships are also gradually being updated. Qin Tian requested that the navy's small and medium-sized warships must have strong air defense and anti-submarine capabilities in the future. Therefore, these two aspects have become the main direction of development. As for the attack on the enemy's surface ships, it is mainly completed by the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier.
In terms of the air force, German fighter jets and bombers are also developing step by step. Its advanced performance has been completely ahead of the world. It is foreseeable that when war breaks out in the future, it will be difficult for other countries to compete with Germany for air supremacy. Large long-range bombers are also an important direction for the development of the Luftwaffe. The twin-engine medium bomber has been developed, and its performance is not bad in all aspects. The four-engine long-range heavy bomber is also under intensive development. It is expected that before the outbreak of future wars, Germany will have a strong air force fighter force and long-range strike force.
Among the countries in the world, Germany is undoubtedly the country that attaches the most importance to the air force. Only Qin Tian, who has traveled back through time, knows how important air power will be in future wars. Only with air supremacy, can everything else be discussed. Otherwise, if you want to defeat the enemy, you will pay a greater price.
Although it is only 1929, the international situation is still relatively stable. War is something that has no shadow at all. However, Qin Tian hoped that Germany could make preparations as soon as possible. Because Qin Tian knew that the international situation would change soon. The contradictions between several major powers will intensify. At the same time, because of the impact of the economy, in order to overcome the economic crisis, some countries will involuntarily go to the road of expansion.
