Chapter 905: Germany's Great Power
Throughout the Cold War, NATO's biggest enemy was the Warsaw Pact, and once a war broke out, Germany would be the first to bear the brunt.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Red Armored Tide, NATO deployed a large number of troops in West Germany. In the 1980s, NATO's military strength was quite large. Once a war broke out in Europe, NATO could deploy and invest 869,000 people in West Germany at the first time. At the same time, there were 2.6851 million people in other war zones in Europe and 1.473 million people in the United States.
Once a war breaks out, NATO can respond quickly, and at the same time, East Germany and Czech Republic can deploy 887,000 troops at the first time. In other war zones in Eastern Europe, there are 957,300 troops, and the Soviet Union has 2.311 million troops.
Therefore, once the war breaks out, the Warsaw Pact does not actually have a numerical advantage over NATO. However, a big advantage of the Warsaw Pact is the Soviet Union, a huge land country. Once the war breaks out, the Soviet Union can continuously send troops to it! For example, speaking of the army alone, the Warsaw Pact can deploy 229 divisions in wartime, while NATO can deploy 134 divisions.

Although NATO's divisions are larger, the Warsaw Pact's ordinary infantry divisions also have strong tank units. For example, in terms of tanks alone, NATO has a total of 31,200 tanks, while the Warsaw Pact has a total of 68,700.
However, this is history. Now, with Andre's travel, history has changed a lot. The United States has lost a large number of troops in the Middle East, and many of these troops were transferred from Europe.
At the same time, due to the weakening of the United States' national strength, there have been members of the U.S. Congress who have expressed strong support for destroying their troops and continuously reducing the military to maintain the U.S. economy.
Originally, the United States stationed 60,000 troops in Germany, but now, in Germany, the United States has stationed a unit like the First Armored Division! This is a fully equipped American division with more than 300 main battle tanks. Once a war breaks out, this armored division with a total of 17,000 people can counter the attack of a main tank army of the Warsaw Pact.

In addition, there are only two returnee divisions left. This is a reinforcement strategy of the US Army: the returnee units will have two sets of identical combat equipment, one in the home country and one in the equipment pre-positioning warehouse in West Germany. Once something happens, the home army will airlift personnel to West Germany to receive equipment and put them into combat. However, now these two divisions are empty shells without any personnel.
The 1st Armored Division is far from enough to completely control the entire Germany.
Since NATO is under great pressure in Europe, it is not so harsh on Germany's rearmament of the army. In any case, Germany has reflected more thoroughly on World War II and will no longer have the crazy idea of dominating the world.

In order to fight against the Soviet Union, Germany's military strength was quite powerful. Especially after France withdrew from NATO in 1966, the German army became more important in the defense of Western Europe. It can be said to be a core country, while countries like Italy and Belgium were just playing by the way.
It can be said that if war breaks out again, the first echelon that the Western world can rely on will be Germany and the United States, and even Britain and France can be considered the second echelon!

Germany's military scale is also quite powerful. Now, West Germany has nearly 500,000 troops and 150,000 civilian personnel. The entire country can be mobilized within 48 hours.
Up to now, West Germany has thousands of advanced tanks such as Leopard 2, more than a thousand old Leopard 1 tanks, more than 200 Tornadoes, and more than 170 F4s. It can be said that this strength is quite strong except for the United States and the Soviet Union!
The original intention of supporting Germany was to fight against the Soviet Union, but now, I don’t know how, the United States and Germany have turned against each other!
At this point, the United States immediately found that it was not strong enough to face the West German armed forces! In particular, the West German Bundeswehr had no good feelings towards the US military. A US battalion went to the West German special forces station to disarm, but was counterattacked, and several people died. In the end, the mission was not completed.

The United States sent British troops to the German air force base again. The result was even more incredible. A crazy German Tornado fighter destroyed four British Challenger tanks and shot down two A-10s!
These facts show that if we want to make the German army surrender, more NATO troops must come!
Fortunately, although the United States has few troops, the Servants still have a lot of troops! And now, in the NATO headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Bernard has a gloomy face.
In the past two days, the situation in Germany has reversed rapidly. Unexpectedly, Germany has shown signs of parting ways with NATO. Now, at the U.S. Allied Command Europe in Stuttgart, many German citizens are gathering outside and demonstrating!

This is simply unimaginable!
"The Pentagon's opinion is that we use the excuse of conducting military exercises to dispatch a total of 400,000 troops from Britain, Italy, Spain and other countries to conduct military exercises in Germany, and then control the German army and various key departments in one fell swoop, and then put out the signs of rebellion in the German Wehrmacht." said his deputy, Major General Ronald H. Griffith, commander of the 1st Division.
"However, such a plan does not fit our current reality at all." John, the commander of the British garrison, said: "Now, the German Wehrmacht has shown signs of instability. If we hold exercises like this again, it will simply tell the Germans that we are going to take action, and they will definitely not sit idly by!"
Originally, no one expected the Germans to be so arrogant, but now, Hans punched Eagle Sauce and kicked Bull, which forced them to be on guard.

The Pentagon's staff have not yet arrived in Germany and have no idea how serious the current situation is!
"Yes, they can't even wait for our exercise to start. The East German army will probably come over to help their compatriots!" Bernard said coldly: "We must revise the plan, and we must do it quickly! Use our existing strength to control Germany first, we can't wait that long!"
Be quick! Use the existing forces to control the German army! This plan sounds a bit risky. You know, the current NATO troops stationed in Germany include less than 20,000 from the United States, 20,000 from the United Kingdom, and about 3,500 from the Netherlands and about 2,000 from Belgium. Can these troops control the German army?

"I have an idea." Suddenly, John at the side thought of a solution: "How about we activate the war alert?"
