Chapter 123: Military power (for collection)

   With William II's explicit support, everything becomes much easier. Even though Little Maoqi still objected, von Falkenhain and Waldsee no longer objected. In their view, the Marine Corps with only five divisions would pose no threat to the Army at all. Those words of Xiao Moqi before were a little too alarmist.

  After the meeting ended, Xiao Moqi left angrily. He was very unwilling in his heart, even though the matter was a foregone conclusion, his dissatisfaction with Qin Tian and even William II was deeply planted in his heart.

   Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz left after expressing their thanks to William II.

   However, at the gate of the palace, I met von Falkenhain who was waiting here.

   "His Royal Highness, if it is convenient, I will send you to the Deutsche Industries Group!" Von Falkenhain said proactively.

  Qin Tian nodded, he knew that von Falkenhain had something to tell him.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, I will leave it to you to be responsible for the formation of the Marine Corps. However, we must strive for excellence in the selection of personnel. We only have five divisions, so the troops of the five divisions must be Only the ace unit will do." Qin Tian looked serious.

   "His Royal Highness, I understand." Marshal Earl Tirpitz understood what Qin Tian meant. The Army will never allow the size of the Marine Corps to exceed five divisions. Therefore, they can only use this foundation to find ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops as much as possible by selecting excellent soldiers, well-equipped weapons, and hard training. Other than that, there is simply no other way.

  Afterwards, Qin Cai got into von Falkenhain's car.

   This is a Daimler A-Class. After the A-class car was launched, it was immediately sought after, and now it has become a must-have car for successful people in the whole of Germany and even most European countries. Although the price is very expensive, it is also in short supply. German military and political officials also immediately changed their cars from B-class cars to A-class cars. Of course, the big reason is that the price of the A-class cars provided by Daimler to the government and the military is relatively much cheaper than the market price.

   "His Royal Highness, I am sorry for the establishment of the Marine Corps by the Navy. The entire Army is against it, so I have no other choice." Von Falkenhain explained. He was afraid that Qin Tian would have a bad opinion of him because of this matter.

   "Don't worry, Your Excellency Minister of War, I can understand your situation." Qin Tian nodded. He knew that even if von Falkenhain was the Minister of War, he could not compete with the will of the entire army. What's more, there was a little Maoqi watching him, eager to completely empty von Falkenhain.

   Qin Tian still attaches great importance to being able to von Falkenhain, after all, he is the number two figure in the army. If Qin Tian wants to further expand his influence in the army, he must obtain the support of von Falkenhain.

  Of course, Qin Tian also knew why von Falkenhain would support him. It was nothing more than wanting to squeeze the little Mao Qi who was riding on his head. If von Falkenhain can always support him, and after he takes power, let von Falkenhain also serve as chief of the general staff, that is not impossible.

"Your Highness, the Chief of Staff expressed strong opposition to the establishment of the Marine Corps by the Navy. Not only that, but he also wanted to curb His Highness's influence in the army. It can be seen that the Chief of Staff strongly opposes His Royal Highness. said von Falkenhain.

   "I know that. If possible, I would of course want to replace him. However, Father still trusts him very much. Therefore, I have nothing to do with him for a while." Qin Tian said.

  Von Falkenhain nodded. Little Maoqi is also relying on this, so he is so confident.

   "Minister of War, do you have any suggestions?" Qin Tian asked.

Von Falkenhain thought for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, you may try to directly control an army. According to the tradition of the German Empire, as the crown prince, His Highness is qualified to become an army when war breaks out." The commander-in-chief, who went to the front line to fight. Now, although the war has not yet broken out, the situation is too tense, and it seems that it will not be long before the war breaks out. Your Highness can definitely ask His Majesty to get acquainted with the army first. To be able to better command troops in future wars."

  Qin Tian couldn't help but his eyes lit up, the crown prince went to the front line to fight, this is the tradition of the German Empire. If he can directly control an army, he can equip and train the army according to his own wishes. Qin Tian believed that with his current strength, he could arm this army to the teeth and train it to become the most powerful army in the world.

   Moreover, this is also a good opportunity for him to expand his influence in the army.

   But at the same time, Qin Tian also has great difficulties in achieving this goal. In particular, he was not from the army, and he even finished the Naval Academy. It may be very difficult to convince the public.

   Even though he has shown extremely powerful abilities in other aspects. But it is still a bit unrealistic to let William II hand over an army to him with peace of mind.

   "I'm not from the army, and I don't have the ability to command troops. Will Your Majesty agree? The army may also have objections to this." Qin Tian said with a frown.

"Your Highness, with your status and status, you don't need to lead the army yourself. You only need to choose a qualified deputy, and everything will be fine. I believe that there are enough elites in the army for His Highness to dispatch. Nothing will happen. There is a problem," von Falkenhain said.

  Qin Tian nodded, he was very satisfied with this proposal of von Falkenhain. If he can personally control an army, this will greatly increase his strength.

  The great man said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Even if this is the German Empire, this truth also applies. If Qin Tian can control the military power, even if Crown Prince William wakes up immediately and wants to take back the Crown Prince that belongs to him, it will be impossible.

  The ambition to control the military power began to take root in Qin Tian's heart in an instant.

   "Minister of War, thank you for your suggestion. I will seriously consider it. At that time, I will need your further support." Qin Tian said sincerely.

   "Your Highness, I will fully support you!" von Falkenhain promised.
