Chapter 72:
December 20, 1939
Northern Germany, Berlin, Government Complex Germany was in an uproar as Poland launched a surprise invasion at dawn, just as the General Mobilization Order was declared.
Damn it.
A surprise invasion right after the mobilization order was issued? And we’re the ones getting ambushed by Poland, starting the initial battle by getting shattered?
If we mobilize all the Reserve Forces, we can field over 100 divisions. But that’s only possible after the mobilization is complete.
Even if we hastily wrap up reorganization and everything else and order them to the front lines, we have less than 20 divisions that can fight on the mainland right now.
And half of them are trapped and under attack in East Prussia.
Poland shamelessly sent a declaration of war, stating they would recover their former territory, along with a reply finally rejecting our proposal for a non-aggression pact, all while their invasion was in full swing.
“What are Britain and France saying?”
