Joseph raised his hand to signal the generals to calm down, then came to the front of the conference table and said loudly:
"Please trust, France possesses the power to defeat any enemy.
"I can assure everyone, that by February next year, the front lines will be reinforced with at least 150,000 troops, corresponding weapons and equipment, and more than 35,000 mules.
"We will crush all opponents with our inexhaustible mobilization capability!"
All the officers began to whisper in shock.
It is already close to November, meaning the Crown Prince intends to recruit 150,000 troops within just over three months!
It's known that training new recruits takes three months. Even the 'rapid training' program by the General Staff requires nearly two months.
The recruitment time is almost only about a month.
