Chapter 1902: The Future of the German Army II

The Baden Public University put forward its own counter-opinion very implicitly. The so-called soldiers are not involved in politics, isn't it just the old Maoqi and the little Maoqi? Under normal circumstances, these people advocate the isolation of the military from politics. From the bottom of their hearts, they do not want to interfere in politics. Without their subjective will, there will be no political interference. Although Xiao Maoqi was in politics this time, there was a reason for it. In Xiao Maoqi's eyes, parliamentary faction was treason, and Xiao Maoqi would naturally not be polite to traitors.

　　 As for the next half sentence? He slapped Bavaria's flattery. Generally speaking, Prince Ruprecht’s military disposition was fairly fair, and the Bavarian Army did help the Western Front, the Navy and other fronts even when they did well on the Eastern Front, especially in the early days of the war, just in Poland. After severely inflicting the Russians, the whole army entered the Western Front without much rest and helped the German Army fought a very beautiful offensive campaign, which established the current pattern of the German Army on the Western Front. From this point alone, all Western Fronts The corps inherited the favor of the prince, coupled with the constant allocation of materials to the western front, and the dispatch of air forces to the war to help the navy develop naval aviation. Anyone who is not particularly crooked admits that the prince was experienced in the war, and his handling was fair.

　　 So, if, it means, if the future Ministry of Defense of Germany is elected by election, then the prince will be elected for sure! And no one can say anything!

However, it is a pity that Ruprecht cannot be the minister of defense. He is the crown prince of Bavaria, the future king of Bavaria, the regent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he is from Bohemia and Moravia. Grand Duke! These titles are real, and the gold content is much higher than the so-called Minister of Defense of the Empire. Ruprecht's most important identity is political identity. He needs to govern an empire and a kingdom, so there is no energy and leisure. Become a defense minister! Even if you give the prince this position, the prince will not do it!

Therefore, the Grand Duke of Baden used a very ingenious method to push the little Maoqi to the foreground. There are two candidates in total. One of them abstained first. Then the other candidate was naturally elected directly. It is agreed to perform most of the daily tasks, but the premise is that the leader of the imperial army cannot be a parliamentary!

　　 "What to do?" Albert looked at Barthes, and he couldn't do anything about the current situation. The nobility’s control over the army is so entrenched that even if the German emperor can be overthrown, the status quo that the senior officers of the officer regiment are all Junker nobles will not fundamentally change, because the most basic problem is the contact of the ordinary civilian class. There is too little military education, even if there are individual talents who are outstanding, it is only an example. And the nobility? Except for those military families, who of those royal families and princes have not received military education? Not to mention Ruprecht and Prince Leopold, even the Grand Duke of Baden knows military affairs better than Albert and the others!

　　 As a political party that wants to rule Germany, but suddenly discovers that there is no reliable military force in this world of the weak and the strong, Albert feels heartache. As for Buhler? This buddy is regarded as the premier military talent among the parliamentary faction. In terms of command, from the point of view of the actual combat effect with the little Moqi army, he is also beyond the level of a colonel. But, to be honest, you can almost make him a lieutenant general. Yes, commanding a smaller group army is his upper limit. You let him be the Minister of Defense? Responsible for formulating empire's strategy, arms development and procurement, etc.? Forget it, in terms of efficiency, it's not as good as Xiao Maoqi!

"If the prime minister elected by voting nominates the minister of defense, then the minister of defense will be branded as a political party. Then I would like to ask, under the leadership of the minister of defense, does this army belong to the country? Or does it belong to a prime minister? From this point of view, this runs counter to our goal of insulating the military from politics."

"From the issue of efficiency, if the political party rotates the Minister of Defense, then is it possible that our military construction plan will be changed every 5 years? The previous Minister of Defense requested the development of medium tanks, and then switched to a heavy tank. The Minister of Defense of the tank, then the whole army has to cater to his appetite? Isn’t this a blind command?" Grand Duke Baden launched a series of pursuits. In his opinion, as long as he works harder, the opposing parliament will probably do it. Gave in.

　　 "Military issues really need to be handled by professional soldiers." Ruprecht's voice sounded again. "Once the military plan is determined, it really cannot be changed because of someone's likes and dislikes." The prince continued.

　　 "The top leader of the military directly subordinates to the prime minister. This suggestion is also undesirable, because the prime minister we elected may not understand military affairs! It is always a tragedy for outsiders to guide insiders."

"So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The highest command system of the army under the imperial government can only be composed of politicians who understand the military and responsible soldiers. We can set up a committee that is directly responsible to the Federal Parliament, and major decisions are voted by members. Decision, and the daily tasks of the Ministry of National Defense can be handled by the Chief of the General Staff and the civilian officials responsible for liaison with the government. The Supreme Military Council can continue the name of the Ministry of War."

"In this way, the entire army's command system is that the War Department is responsible for formulating major war plans, and the main tasks of the usual are handed over to the General Staff. The War Department is determined by the Federal Assembly. The term of membership is 5 years. The major issues of the military will be discussed and planned at one time. If there are special circumstances, the Minister of War considers it necessary and with the consent of more than 60% of the Federal Parliament, a meeting can be held." The prince proposed his own. view.

"Hehe, a very good idea. A politician who understands the military and a responsible soldier? To your Excellency, I am not disrespectful at all. If you can enter the War Department, then I still agree with it, but how about a responsible soldier? Definition? And if a country does not have people who meet these conditions, is he not eligible to enter this committee?" Barthes sneered.

"This committee will not have many members. The number should be up to 11 people. The four kingdoms and you have at least one place. Then the other six places are nominated by the Federal Parliament and then voted. If the votes are equal (allowed Abstaining), the Minister of War can make a decision.” Ruprecht said.
