The Habsburg family did not expect that the opening of the hole would be too much. The water poured out and the words they said could not be recycled, so they could only let it go. From the beginning, it might be tens of thousands or tens of thousands of applications. Later, more and more, some were almost the migration of families. This was a sad thing for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the end, the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not support it. The population not only represented the most basic labor unit, but also closely related to many aspects such as the army, industry, agriculture, etc. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was huge, with an average population of only 78 people per square kilometer. There was so much less that many places could not start construction. [(??[

As a last resort, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had to mention it with Germany in a vague way. Germany did not expect this. He initially targeted the 10,000 Germans of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, Germany's population now has a population of more than 60,000 at the beginning of the war. Now, when the war entered its fourth year, the population increased by 120,000 with all efforts. The Austro-Hungarian Empire supported 70,000, only one-third of which were Germans, and almost all the rest were mainstream ethnic groups of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even included the ministry.

The Hungarians were divided into Hungarians, and the remaining 50,000 were naturalized by Germans and some colonies from all over the world. Although for Germany, this is not a cure for the root cause. To some extent, a series of problems will arise in the future, but it seems that Germany can't take care of it. As long as these problems can be solved, these 120,000 represent a mobilization ability of more than 120,000. There are also those natives of the South Yang who supported the colonies and China. They are direct soldiers and their ethnic spouses have not come. In this way, it is estimated that the number of troops will increase by at least 250,000.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a population of more than 5000,000, suddenly lost 7000, and 40000,000, and 400,000 were not Germanic. If all Germans ran away, wouldn’t one-third of the population be gone? Not to mention that if others follow, maybe half or even two-thirds of the population will disappear. This is a major event of life and death. No wonder the Austro-Hungarian Empire reacted so much.

However, this result was beyond Germany's expectations. In Germany's view, as long as Germany maintains its strong presence, there will be basically no problem with nearly ten million Germans joining Germany. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's concerns are only for non-Germans. For the Germans, if they really want to leave, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no ability or position to interfere. In this way, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may have a population of 1.7 million, or even close to 200,000. This part of the population and the naturalized population around the world will add up to more than 900,000, or even close to 100 million. This is a huge growth, and Germany's biggest shortcoming may be made up for at this time.

It was during the European War that Germany truly realized that the huge role of population. Russia's terrible thing is not its industry. It has no industry, but the population of 170 million is equivalent to the combined population of Britain, France and Germany, which is enough to determine its status. Not to mention China, with a population of over 600 million, just playing around, tens of millions, or even more soldiers, even more normal mobilization, there may be an army of 600,000 people, a huge population, and an unlimited possibility of owners, tens of millions, or even 20 to 30 million. The scalp will be numb when you think about it. If China is in Russia's location and is close to Europe, it will not be said of any achievements of industry, but just a few hundred million people, it will be terrible enough.

To this end, they not only fought for population from Belgium and other bordering countries, but they began to try every means to promote the return of Germans from all over the world, and even the United States. Therefore, it was difficult to reduce the intelligence collection capacity. Of course, some truly important channels are impossible. After all, Germans are so obvious. No matter how bold the United States is, it is impossible to put some top-secret things in front of them. The things collected by Germans are more of global information, such as commodity information, material provision, and factory production. These things are very important, but they must be of a certain amount to play a role. Even the results analyzed can only be used as a supplement to a certain strategy and the basis for determining a plan. The truly important real-time information is carried out through other channels.

However, compared to collecting these things, Germany values ​​population more. After all, it is not Germany's independent resistance to the Allies. Now that China has joined the war, it is essentially in the Pacific. The biggest confrontation with the United States in the future will not be Germany, but China. It is not that urgent for the collection of US intelligence.

As for population growth, Germany's population growth this time is quite fierce. Germany's population of more than 60000 has increased by almost one-fifth. Even if it is placed in Germany, there are still problems with strict arrangements. Fortunately, it has occupied Russia's huge territory, and the new population of 120000 is distributed there, which is equivalent to only 12 people per square kilometer. This is not a big problem. The cities and villages left behind will become their new homes after simple adjustments. This is a very suitable choice.

Poland, Ukraine and Baku, this area is basically in a medium dimension, even close to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. It has always been a region with relatively high agricultural resources. In addition, most of the agriculture in Germany is handed over to China. On the one hand, this part of the population is to enrich the basic population, and on the other hand, it is to do some management and handover work. These are the most basic, and for these newly joined German citizens, it is also a manifestation of more respect and soothing.

Although the normal proportion of the army with a population of 10:1 is normal, these newly joined groups will not be randomly transferred unless they are at the critical moment of life and death. Except for some who are strongly required to join the army, the rest can only exist as reserves.

After all, the foundation is the foundation. These population growth is of great benefit to Germany. To a certain extent, it is also a good choice to give new members a certain advantage and increase the level of racial awareness and attributes. It is still acceptable to pay a little bit of the current price for this.

These population matters have no direct relationship with Moltke, but population is related to the potential for war, not to mention the increased population. Most of them are skilled in German, that is, the natives in Southeast Asia, who only urgently attacked some daily languages, and the others are Germans. For them, German is their native language, or German who understand German in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In short, there is no need to popularize culture.

But Moltke still felt comfortable. China's joining the war suddenly made Germany completely different. The emergence of submarines and the emperor-level raid of the United States weakened the United States' support for Europe. To a certain extent, the combat effectiveness of the European dispatched forces, which should have been improved, was weakened to a certain extent. In order to cope with the possible improvement of the combat effectiveness of the European dispatched forces, Germany strengthened its military facilities with the support of China. With one increase and one decrease, and after taking over the sea control power, Germany's shelling of the Bordeaux region directly made Germany's pressure in Europe completely gone. In 1915, Germany, which was already a slightly defensive, took the initiative to attack. In the three months from March to June, it annihilated a total of 1.97 million Allied troops, and its own damage was only 220,000, which completed a larger number of differences than Germany before, and achieved an advantage on the battlefield.

Germany proved one thing in the real war meeting, that is, not to fight for death in one place, and to annihilate the other's vitality as much as possible. A country's war potential is always limited. If it consumes enough vitality, the goal will be achieved. According to the current calculation, Germany's loss ratio with them has always been 4:1. Germany currently has a population of 7.50,000, which cannot be compared with the Allies. However, France is about to be crippled, and Britain is almost the same. As for Russia, Germany does not take it seriously. As long as it works hard and plans several large-scale attacks to ensure that their losses are up to the next level, only Britain and France can withdraw from the war, so the United States will definitely be unable to bear it.

In the German General Staff, there is a complete series of research on the United States, including the reasons why the United States joined the European battlefield and its participation issue. Although Germany did not foresee that the United States would join the European battlefield and suffered a little loss in the early stages of the United States' participation, it later regarded the United States as its biggest enemy until China participated in the war. With Germany's closeness with China and knowing its strength, it really did not expect China to face the United States.

After all, the United States and Germany are only separated by an Atlantic Ocean, but China and the United States are separated by a vast Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world, but this width and size are absolutely incomparable. The Pacific Ocean occupies 46% of the world's oceans and accounts for nearly one-third of the earth's surface area. It is completely different from the Atlantic Ocean. Will China face the United States at such a long distance?

But in fact, China, located in Asia, has at most added some military support to Germany, and at most logistics management. Unexpectedly, China is so powerful that it directly attracted the attention of the United States and faced the United States. This almost directly changed the situation on the battlefield, and even made most of the information collected by Germany useless. (To be continued.)8
