The Hegemony of Europe - a Kaiserreich Germany AAR.

[NarcomancerPL]

The German Government decided to release Poland as a Kingdom and give them a German king. Poland lost no territory in the peace. With the quick defeat and lenient peace deal. Germany hopes that Poland will now be a permanent part of the German Sphere.

Can you see what dynasty is ruling in Poland now? I know it's not important in the grand scheme of things, but I'm curious.
It would be really interesting if it were Wettins (royal dynasty of Saxony) as according to Polish Constitution from 1791 that were expected rulers of the monarchy. I think it could also be great point for Germans to be taken not as occupants, but as a law enforcers (even if not everyone would agree with their politics)

Europe in May 1940

The things i forgot to take a screenshot of

In the west, the 3I mannaged to invade Hamburg and Bremen and it took the Germans a lot to push then out. A naval blokade blocked the 3i of supplies and then the Germans took the ports.

Sweden have also been lost and Denmark will fall without support.

Later the 3I invaded the Netherlands before I could react and now they have a lot of units in the Benelux, but they are seperated from France, so they could be trapped, if the ports are taken out.

In February 1940, the Reichpakt and Entente agreed to cooperate. The Entente accepted all Germans Demans and France will become a member of Mitteleuropa.


And now for this Chapter.

Chapter 8 The Liberation of Benelux​

The Liberation of the Netherlands

The Benelux Front as of 18th of May 1940.

Germany wanted to liberate the Netherlands in order to secure the Rhienland, it used all of its tanks and Air power to do so, it took over six months of brutal fighting.

On the 19th of June 1940, Brussels and the rest of Belgium was liberated.

The Syndicalist losses in Benelux was huge because the German cut them from all means of retrating and constant bombardments of the ports made sure few could escape.


The Battle for Benelux was long and bloody. But Slowly to armored attacks and areal Supremacy, the Reichpakt begun to Push the Syndicalist forces out of Benelux.
It finally happened at the 8th of November 1940 and the Syndicalist suffered major casualties.

As the campaign continued, the Internationale became more and more desperate to escape, but the Germans made sure that would not happen.

A pocket of Syndicalist forces surrendered in Germany.

With the conclution of the Battle of Rotterdam, the Syndicalist have been driven out of Benelux.

The German Counterattack


Few months after the Liberation of Benelux. The Reichpacht launched an offensive against the French. Using German areal supremacy French infrastructure have been targeted over the entire Front in order disrupt French Supply lines. When the German Assault finally began, the French stood no Chance. As they had spend all a large portion of their in Benelux and Scandinavia. The Internationale troops in Scandinavia was stuck there due to a submarine blockade from the Germans and the ones in Benelux where either death or POW.

It was not the original German plan, but now that the Internationale had lost so much, it would have been foolish not to use the battle hardened German forces in the Benelux to teach the Commune a lesson in warfare. An Attack was ordered, but not before the Germans completely bombarded all French supply lines in France.

A combination of Tanks, infantry, artillery fire and Planes devastated the French lines and Lille was quickly encircled. The campaign quickly resulted in a lot of land conquered by the Germans. A shock to many observers. As for a long time, Germany struggled against the Internationale. But the Internationale where not ready for a war of attrition.

On the 7th of December 1940, a big whole was made in the French line and many German solders rushed in, with complete Arial Supremacy. the Commune stod no chance.


The Attack Continued, the war of Attrition in the Benelux have exhausted the Internationale from strength and the Germans wanted to exploit that.

The Western front as of 26th of January 1941. France lost its industrial heartland to the Germans and the Germans keep pushing.

Some Hohenzollern guy. He is pretty old.

Yeah switch liberation and restoration of Polish Democracy, compined with no territorial punishment helped to make the Poles less bitter about Germany, they will now accept their place in Europe.

 

[HIMDogson]

Holy hell, that makes Stalingrad seem like a minor inconvenience. The French are sure to fall soon.

Benelux will defently be completely leveled for some years due to red terror. Ironically, France will be in Decent shape due to the quick advances from the Germans

Chapter 9 The word on the 26th of January 1941


Asian Front

The Japanese are winning in Asia, because Germany is too occupied in Europe.

The Japanese are making big Gains in Asia, the Reichpakt might just accept Japanese Domination of Asia in order to focus on Europe.

Europe


The Eastern Front have barely moved. No one really dares to fight, as the Russians can't attack the frontline without heavy losses and the Reichtpakt is too focused on the West. The Original plan of taking the Russian out first have been discarded in order for the Reichspakt to focus on the Internationale. The Russian industry is big, but it is nothing Compared to Germany's. The Russian have to attack soon, if they do not want to fight the Entirety of the German army at once.

The Internationale is on their last on the European Mainland, France is about to fall and after that Italy will be next. Italy have just recently united under Syndicalism, so many Italians are still resisting against their Government.

The frontlines in Europe in 1941




The Reichpankt-Entente "Cooperation.

The Halifax Conference united The Reichpakt and the Entente. But The Cooperation have begun to Crack. Canada have barely contributed to the war, as they are occupied in the American Civil war and the National French have not showned any sort of competence in the war.

The Reichpakt have 85% of the war contribution and Germany thinks about installing puppets regiments in the UK and France, as the Entente have done almost nothing against the Internationale. How Entente-Reichpakt Relations evolves remains to be seen.

Canada is commiting everything in the American civil war in order to crush the CSA, something which Germany have no interest in containing.
The National French have not done much to give pressure to the Internationale, but they have not inflicted that many cassualties on the Internationale.

Germany is starting to regret they agreed to cooperate with the Entente, as for now, it have just been The Reichpankt doing all the hard work, taking the most casualties. Why should Germany hold thier part of the deal, when the Entente is contributing nothing?

The war against the internationale have been heavely lifted by the Reichpankt, which have contributed around 85% to the war effort.


The American Civil war.

The Entente is focusing on the Americans. Beliving the Reichpakt will give them back their "homeland" when the 3rd Internationale have been defeated. After all, they have made concessions to the German in order to return to their homelands.

The PSA, AUS and Canada have joined together in a coalition against Syndicalism. This war. The war have costed millions of lives and it is even more bloody and brutal than the war in Europe.

The American Civil war have cost the Entente a lot of Lives, more then 5 million people have lost their lives in combat, this is not counting the loss of civilian life.

Chapter 10 The fall of France and Italy.​

With the Syndicalist on the run and with the German army slowly pushing south, the front began to stabilize. The Germans where still on the Offensive, but it was slower.
German supplies now had to go though hostile territory and the French fought more and more desperately. The UoB constantly tried to make a beachhead in Northern France, but they where all ways encircled and made POW's.

In february 1941 the South Western part of France began to fall.

On the 2nd of March 1941. Bordeaux surrendered to the Germans. With that, the Communes will to fight was gone and the French army capitulated. Italy was now the next Target.

When Bordeaux fell 60.000 Internationale Soldiers Surrendered.



The Italians had no Change against the German army. Quickly Italy was split in half and with half of the Italians resisting against the regiemene, it is unlikely that the Italians can keep up. Only in Venice are some dedicated Syndicalist resistance left.

The Italian front on the 4th of April.

On the 12th of April. The Italians surrendered to the Germans Germany now have full control over Italy and France. There where talks about inviting the Nationalist France back to the southern France, but Germany decided not to.

With the Fall of France and Italy. Germany's control over Europe is only contested by Britain and Russia.

Chapter 11 The Endernationale​

With Europe secured and The Internationale on thier Last legs. Germany Decided it was time to end then. Striking the UoB. Before in order to secure German Shipping in Europe once again, so it can focus all its power on Russia.

Canada decided to try to liberate Britain only to be pushed out of Scotland, it Is Time that Germany shows how it's done.

The German plan was simple, Strike quick and strike fast. On the 11th of May 1941, the German invasion of Britain began. A massive German fleet, together with the German Air forced started the assaults.

On the 13th of May. German forces attempted to land in Portsmouth.

The battle ended on the 15th of May. The British where completely defeated.

As the Battle for Southern England raged, the Germans quickly made advances and London fell on the 22nd of May 1941. The Germans had only lost less than 2.000 men in battle in the British campaign. The Arial supremacy of German planes, artillery, mechanized infantry and tanks made quick work of the British militias in Southern England.

The British army was focused on the Canadians in Scotland, which gave the Germans an opportunity to strike quickly. Canada finally showed that they are not going to let Germany do all the work.

The fall of London came quickly. German high command had expected more resistance in southern England.

The German Stormtropper Divisions, with heavy artillery fire and areal support made quick work out on anything they faced in England.


During the Brittish campaign. The German Kaiser died on the 5th of June 1942. It is sad he could not live to see Germany win.

At least he will know, that Germany will not fall to syndicalism.


On the 16th of June, after the German conquest of Liverpool, the UoB signed an unconditional Surrender to the Reichpakt. All forces of the 3rd Internationale surrendered. A thing to note, was that the Internationale only surrendered to Reichpankt, not the Entente.

The British front at the time of the Surrender of the 3rd Internationale.



With the Syndicalist defated. The Entente demanded Britain and France onto their control. The Germans really did not to want to do it at this point. The Entente really have not done much on the war. Most their effort was made to defend Portugal and they failed.

In the end, the Germans decided, that Britain, France and Italy now belongs to the German Sphere of Influence. Germany did not honor the Halifax agreement, as they felt neither the French nationalist or the Canadians deserved the right to return. The Entente was outraged, but there was nothing they could do, their hands where tied in America and India. Canada have also lost a million men in the war against the Combined Syndicates and the National French are desperately trying to hold their Colonies in Africa together.

Only Norway kept fighting a hopeless battle against the Reichpankt.

The Germans decided to Divide France and Britain into smaller political entities. All Democratic republics. Italy was liberated as a whole.

Soon western Europe will be a part of Mitteleuropa and help Germany to defend against the Entente and fight against Russia. Much more instead of the gratitude of a bunch of ungrateful imperialist.

With Western Europe controlled as friendly Republics. Germany could finally begin to look to the East, towards Russia.

 

[HIMDogson]

love it when the entente lose out, hopefully the AUS conquers Canada

The AUS and the Entente are not at war.

I just hope I can support the AUS so much, so I they win.

Chapter 12 Peace in Asia​

The war between the Reichpakt and Japan have ended. As the last Reichpakt footholds in Indinesia fell to the Japanese. The Reichpakt decided to negotiate a peace agreement between Japan and the Reichpakt. Germany offered peace with Japan. Germany offered all remaning Reichpakt controlled areas in Asia and the pacific. In exchange the Japanese would permit the Reichtpankt to import Rubber from the Japanese Sphere.

For both parties, it was a good Agreement, Japanese got their Domain over Asia and Germany can now Focus on Russia and the Remains of the Internationale in Norway. With Reichpakt ambitions crushed in Asia, Japan might become an ally against the Entente in the future.

With the Defeat to Japan, Russia stands alone against the Reichpakt, well they have Greece on their side, but they don't count.

On the 15th of August 1941. The war between Japan and Germany was over.

The Japanese sphere have gained a lot of Control over Asia.

Chapter 13 the Russian Giant.

Before We begin, let us look at some Numbers.​

Here are some Comparison between Russia and Germany.
Here are the status as of 24th of September 1941.

	Russia	Germany
Civilian Factories	78	154
Military Factories	91	137
Size of Army	1-2 Million	2 Million
Divisions	150-250	217
Number of Planes	1.7K	5K
Reserve Manpower	3 Million	3 Million

The Numbers are in Germany's favor and Unlike Russia, Germany have Allies.

Most Of Russians factories are in the west and a significant part of it's industry is in Moscow. There are 11 military factories in Moscow, that i over 10% of the Russian Industry.

The Front as of 24th of September 1941.


Germany have More soldiers, more planes, more tanks, more factories. Russia will not stand a change. Germany also have access to a bunch of Oil from Neutral countries, so the German war machine will be well oiled.


As Germany began it's attack, it's only real enemy was the Reichpakts supply lines. Russia could not do that much against the might of the Reichpakts army.

The 10th of September the German launched an offensive around Sumy, which would late become the Sumy pocket.

18 Russian Divisions got trapped in the Sumy pocket the 24th of Sebtemper, they had no chanche of escaping.

On the 24th of September 1941. The Sumy Pocket was closed.

On the 7th of October 1941. The Reichpakt was closing in on Moscow. The hope is to conquer it before the winter sets in. But for now, the focus is to close the pocket That is about to form.

On the 16th of October 1941. The Roslavl pocket was finally closed, the Russian are beginning to lose a lot of land and men.

As the War progressed, the Russian Lines began to break to Reichpakt Pressure and on the 30th of October, the Reichpakt took Petrograd.

After a long grind, Moscow fell on the 21st of November 1941.

The front as of the 21st of November 1941. Russia Suffered a lot of losses, but Winter is closing in, so the German offensive have to be limited now.

Chapter 14 The End of the War.

After a long an uninteresting push into Russia. The Moscow accord capitulated on the 29th of June 1942. 4 Years of war have finally ended.
The German Empire carved up Russia and Greece.


When the war conluded Belarus requested to become an independent nation. Germany accepted the request, knowing that the Freindsship between the two Nation have been bound by common interrest.


Russia
Of all Nation that faced Germany, no other got Divided more than Russia. Russia is now a mere shadow of its former self. It lost all of Central Asia and Siberia. Finland got independence, but lost Aaland to Sweden. All German Client states got some territory out of the War. Russia was allowed to keep some parts of the Former Don Koban Union.

Russia will never rise to become a great Power again, the Stain of National Populism will be removed from Russia and from the Ashes, shall a stable democracy rise.


Greece became liberated as a Republic.

Greece lost eastern Thrace to Bulgaria, as the German Empire decided to return that land to Bulgaria.

The Reichspakt after the 2nd Weltkrig. The loss of Indonesia is a small price to pay for European Hegemony.

 

[RustyHunter]

The Reichpankt doing all the hard work, taking the most casualties. Why should Germany hold thier part of the deal, when the Entente is contributing nothing?

The Entente was outraged, but there was nothing they could do, their hands where tied in America and India. Canada have also lost a million men in the war against the Combined Syndicates and the National French are desperately trying to hold their Colonies in Africa together.

Seems reasonable to me. The French really would have needed to land in the south to have any strong claims to territory. Maybe they can help the Pacific States win and ally with a reunited America, but that's a long term hope.

The war between the Reichpakt and Japan have ended. As the last Reichpakt footholds in Indinesia fell to the Japanese. The Reichpakt decided to negotiate a peace agreement between Japan and the Reichpakt. Germany offered peace with Japan. Germany offered all remaning Reichpakt controlled areas in Asia and the pacific. In exchange the Japanese would permit the Reichtpankt to import Rubber from the Japanese Sphere.

That seems reasonable to me. Germany was foolish to try and colonize Asia when they are a European land power, so this benefits both countries in the long term.

Russia will never rise to become a great Power again, the Stain of National Populism will be removed from Russia and from the Ashes, shall a stable democracy rise.

I agree with all but the stable democracy part. Crushing and dismembering a country is not always the best recipe for democracy, but maybe this Germany can make it work.

 

[noobeless]

Now that Germany have defeated the Internationale and Russia. I am going to stop this aar. It was fun writing it.

 

[RustyHunter]

Thanks for sharing your game, it was a lot of fun to follow!

 

[HIMDogson]

I agree with all but the stable democracy part. Crushing and dismembering a country is not always the best recipe for democracy, but maybe this Germany can make it work.

It worked for otl Germany. Being crushed twice, as well as having revanchism associated with a regime as ruinous as that of Savinkov, will likely put a serious wrench in Russian nationalism.
