Chapter 269: Take a walk to Munni River?

The 7.5 million pounds is indeed a lot of money, but considering the construction of Bavaria and the preparations for the coming World War, this money is definitely not enough! In order to make his fortune, the prince decisively targeted the army and military supplies production! You know, this Russo-Japanese War is not just a battle between the navy, the battle between the army is also fierce, and more expensive!

  The consumption of the Japanese Army in the Russo-Japanese War was at least three times that of the Japanese Navy! And the consumption of the Russian army with more troops and more artillery must be greater than that of the Japanese army! Don't forget that during the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Army had thousands of artillery pieces of 75MM level in the Far East! The huge consumption of ammunition even stretched the Russian inventory, and even ordered shells from Germany and France at the same time! Maybe the artillery can't sell much, but the price of ammunition must be huge!

  Selling army equipment and selling naval equipment is the same thing. You must let people see the superiority of the product and realize that although this thing is more expensive, it is worth the price, so the other party will buy it! Therefore, in order to express his goodwill to Russia and also to express his gratitude to the Russian gold ruble, at the end of the talks, His Royal Highness invited the Russian army to Munich to visit the Bavarian army!

  Of course, the more important thing is to let the Russians feel the advanced combat posture, find the gap between the German and Russian armies, and then check the gaps according to their own weaknesses, and send the golden rubles to the prince's wallet by the way! As for this kind invitation, Nicholas II naturally did not refuse.

In the end, after the meeting, the prince left with a £7.5 million contract of intent with satisfaction, and Nicholas II was really interested in this alternative army within Germany, although he was ruthless with someone just now. He was severely blackmailed and felt very dissatisfied, but he had to admit that in a short period of time, if Russia wants to improve its strength as soon as possible, then it can only find two shipyards under the Bavarian shipyard to produce, they are the only Complete the shipbuilding complex of 4 battleships in 3 years!

  So, some of the officers who accompanied the Tsar to Germany, including Army Admiral Kuropatkin, were summoned, and some personnel were selected to form an inspection group. It was a normal thing to get an inspection group to go to Bavaria and then have a casual exchange, but the czar, who was a little depressed, wanted to use this opportunity to find a place!

"We must let the Germans understand who they are talking to! The navy has disappointed me. The elite Russian navy who was praised by the world in Alexander's time has passed away, but our army is still strong! I hope to take this opportunity. People, let the Germans and the guy in Bavaria know who is the real master in the European continent!" Nicholas II said with a sharp tone.

"I rub!" Kuropatkin, who was standing on the left hand of the Tsar, felt a chill rushing up from his tail vertebrae. Just before coming to Germany, the army general still made fun of the navy and laughed at the navy. The defeat in the Far East. But what I didn't expect was that the army would get retribution so soon.

To be honest, although Kulopatkin was conservative and rigid in tactics, he was still very accurate in looking at some issues. For example, before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, he was very worried about the Russian army in the Far East. He was one of the few in the Russian army. A person who is not optimistic about the development of war.

"Your Majesty, can you speak more clearly? We will follow your instructions." Kulopatkin said humblely. Now he really hopes that this is the emperor's impulsive thought... .

  Kuropatkin is very clear about the virtues of the Russian army. Soldiers are not so much obedience, they are insensitive, just like puppets! There are indeed powerful officers, but most of them are scum. Those talented officers need to spend a lot of energy and incompetent infighting, rather than using it in the right way.

  In this era, not so much the Russian army is strong, it is better to say that the country is too big and the population is too large, which can not beat the opponent but can drag the opponent to death! The Russians think that they are worthy of PK with any European army, but if they want to draw an army of the same size, then it is better to save the province... The Russians have never been the masters of elite players!

   "That's your business, I don't care. I just want the result." Nicholas II's answer made Kuropatkin still very confused, because His Majesty still didn't say what to do.... Since the czar didn't say anything, let's figure it out. First pull out a group of backbones from the guards, at least it shows that they are going to be shiny!

   "Ruprecht invited the Russians to Bavaria? Or to see his army? This is very interesting." There is no impermeable wall in the world. It didn't take long for this matter to reach the Kaiser's ears, and the Kaiser was also interested in it.

  After all, since 1890, due to a series of constructions, the Kingdom of Bavaria has made great progress in its industrial and financial power. According to Bavaria’s own financial statements, government revenue in 1898 was more than double that in 1890! This growth rate has topped the German states. And this is the second largest state.

  Although His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness have a good relationship, at this time, William II still wanted to touch the family of this little brother and see what he had saved over the years. Of course, you can't come directly to check people's running water. But at least one can guess about the strength of this kingdom through an inspection of the Bavarian Army. Then discuss with Bavaria whether you have to take greater responsibilities in the future!

With this idea, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the Kaiser immediately summoned the heads of the German military to discuss this matter. As the chief of the Prussian general staff, Earl Schlieffen will naturally come as a good friend of Kaiser. The top German nobleman, Xiao Maoqi, the inheritor of the old Maoqi's will, naturally needs to come.

  And the third person is the little-known Hindenburg. At least the current Hindenburg is not very famous, but he has just become a general for two years and is now commander of the Prussian Fourth Army.

  The German emperor chose these people very carefully. The Prussian Army’s General Staff was highly powerful. In wartime, it was the General Staff of the German Empire and enjoyed military power over other states. It is equivalent to the brain of the entire German army. And Schlieffen is the core of this brain and is responsible for making various battle plans.

  Little Moqi is responsible for the daily work of the entire staff. If Schlieffen is the brain, then Moqi is responsible for execution from the hands and feet of the staff. As for Hindenburg? This person is not a nobleman, but he has experienced a series of battles starting from the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War. Has been leading troops in the grassroots units. Very rich experience.
