The Rise Of Australasia

From the current global industrial production shares, can we discern the influence of the powerful nations on the world.

The world industrial proportion ranking is as follows:

The United States holds 31.8%

Germany holds 14.8%

The United Kingdom holds 13.6%

Russia Nation holds 8%

France holds 6%

The Austro-Hungarian Empire holds 4.4%

Australasia holds 3.7%

Italy holds 2.2%

Island Nation holds 1%

The industrial production of these nine countries account for 85.5% of the world's industrial production shares, and the remaining 14.5% is shared by dozens of countries and regions.

In fact, by comparing all the charts, it is clear that apart from the German Empire, there is a significant gap between the other countries of the Allied Nations and the three major Allied nations.

Although Germany is catching up with Britain in terms of industry and economy, the tricky issue is that the combined industrial economy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy is no match for France.

There is a significant difference between the Alliance and the Allies in terms of population size, industrial scale, and economic base.

If it weren't for the overpowering strength of the German Army, World War I would've probably ended quickly in history.

With the expansion of the major powers of Europe in the army and navy, the total number of armies and navies in European countries has grown significantly compared to a few years ago.

Ranking of the total number of armies in major countries in the world:

Russia Country: 1.468 million

France: 967,000

Germany: 944,000

Austro-Hungarian Empire: 726,000

United Kingdom: 640,000

Italy: 600,000

Ottoman Empire: 450,000

Island Nation: 370,000

Australasia: 222,000

Romania: 200,000

United States: 164,000

Thanks to its large population, Russia naturally holds the largest size army among the powerful nations. thanks for reading on m|v|l|e|m|p|y|r

However, training of Russian soldiers is generally lacking, many soldiers' equipment is also outdated, and their overall combat power is not strong.

The United States, which currently has the smallest number of soldiers among the powerful nations, has never paid much attention to the army.

With its advantageous geographical environment, as long as the U.S. Navy has sufficient scale, it can guarantee the safety of the U.S. territory.

This becomes increasingly apparent after the strength of Canada in the north of the United States and Mexico in the south has declined.

Currently, the United States is the strongest country in North America, so there is no need to expand the army.

Of course, there's another key point, that the military technology of the United States is not advanced and the combat effectiveness of both the army and navy is not high.

Even if the United States has several hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it may not necessarily be able to withstand the forces of about ten European armies.

In fact, from these rankings, it can be seen that Australasia's comprehensive strength has reached the requirements of a strong country, this is the real reason why the European media and some countries claim Australasia is the eighth power.

In addition to favoring the Whites more than the Island Nation, Australasia's own strength is also an important factor.

Of course when it comes to the strength of the army, the widely recognized combat power of the army is also an important measure.

Among all the countries in the world, the strongest recognised combat power is, of course, the German Empire, which is currently the world's number one army superpower without doubt.

The strong combat power of the German Empire's army is indisputable and requires no explanation or clarification.

After the German Imperial Army, the French Army should be the world's second.

The French Army's status as the second in the world is widely accepted, although it was defeated by Germans a few decades ago, it was once the dominant power and number one army power in Europe.

A thin camel is always bigger than a horse; moreover, the French camel is not dead, it's simply malnourished.

Aside from Germany and France, the country with the third outmost combat power is somewhat uncertain.

European media have different views on this, some support Russia with a significant number of armies, while others support the former Central European hegemon Austro-Hungarian Empire, and some look favourably on Australasia, and in short, opinions differ.

However, if we disregard the advantage of the size of the Russian Army and only calculate the combat power, Russia definitely has no chance of securing the third place.

The Austro-Hungarian Army also has a flaw, that is the armies composed of Germans have very strong capabilities while the armies composed of other ethnic groups are not strong.

Their military equipment and training levels are pretty good, but the complex ethnic distribution makes military orders complicated and messy.

What's worse is when a squad's soldiers come from many ethnic groups who can't communicate with each other, let alone cooperate well in combat.

Therefore, when Arthur made a list in his heart, he justly ranked Australasia as the world's third-army superpower (just in terms of combat power).

If we consider the military technology currently possessed by Australasia, even the Australasian Army could potentially face off against the German Army. Therefore, Arthur's ranking is not wrong.

If it were not for the fact that the French Army performed fairly well in World War I in history, Arthur would have even ranked the combat power of Australasia's army second in the world.

Following Australasia, if considering only army combat power, the next in line should be the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The fifth in combat power should be Island Nation. Russia is ranked sixth by Arthur.

The reason is simple, the performance of the Far East Russian Army in the Russo-Japanese War a few years ago raised serious concerns, even making people question the real combat capabilities of the Russian Army.

Although the Russians have purchased a large number of weapons and equipment from Australasia in recent years. However, if the training level of the soldiers and the supply of materials are not resolved, Arthur doesn't believe their individual combat capabilities can surpass the Island Nation.
