Chapter 681: The Cranky Kaiser II
"Grass, if that's the case, it would be terrifying if the two Wittelsbach families merged!" Thinking of this, the crown prince couldn't help but shiver. The current Bavarian kingdom is already so against the sky, according to Xiao Maoqi According to the inference, the Bavarian Legion at this time can also reach at least 22% of the overall strength of the Imperial Army! For the Air Force, it should be 78%...
"No, this is where Fritz is brilliant." William II smiled and shook his head. "We will not allow the Kingdom of Bavaria to split, and for the same reason, Fritz will never allow the new unitary to split from the empire. Even after the war, he will need this unit to contain Hungary and stabilize the situation in the empire, so You can rest assured about this. Moreover, the prince and Princess Mary cannot have only one offspring. They can inherit the two kingdoms separately. This is also a precedent."
"But one thing is certain is that during Ruprecht’s reign, the power of the Wittelsbach family will be greatly improved. Even if the German Empire has developed a lot, we still cannot get the right The absolute control of other empires, at least Bavaria is not enough." The Kaiser smiled bitterly.
Any king is black when it is cut. Who doesn't want to be the only one in a country? Over the years, Prussia has assimilated other kingdoms under various names, not to mention military power, transportation has begun, Prussia won in the Kingdom of Saxony, and also won in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, but it just won’t work when it comes to Bavaria. ! Even in history, the Bavarian Army was commanded by a prince, and the Bavarian Air Force was independent of the Imperial Air Force. This has always been the case in history. With the crossover, of course it must be so.
"Don't think that Ruprecht doesn't understand politics, but he has no interest in these talkers. He will do what he thinks is necessary! This kind of talent is the most terrifying. He knows that once the Eastern Front wins If Bavaria is unable to achieve substantial development, then the central government of the Empire will form a situation of crushing other kingdoms and the Grand Duchy. Their privileges and status are not there. Therefore, he will choose to cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Once Wittelsbach The family has two crowns, do you dare to move?" the Kaiser asked rhetorically.
"You know? The people of the German Empire are directly loyal to their lord, and the vassals of the vassals are not my vassals! It is precisely because my grandfather and Bismarck saw this problem that they were allowed to grant privileges to other kingdoms, and once After the war, Fritz might not be willing to let the German Empire completely eat Bavaria."
"And you think about it, the two kingdoms of Bavaria, plus such a powerful army, as long as they don’t kill themselves, who would dare to move? If Bavaria had the ability to do so during the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War, we would definitely not dare to do anything. "The Kaiser trembles here too.
The gun pole is always the most direct and effective threat. Later generations of the United States will first ask where their aircraft carrier battle group is when they encounter something, and the Russians will wield their nuclear sticks when they are fine. Bavaria is deeply hidden, and today's exercise was an eye-opener. At least let the Kaiser know that it is impossible to eat Saxony or the kingdom of Wurttemberg. You have to dare to do it, everyone is done together! The emperor is not a fool, so he will never do it. Not only does the emperor do not want to do it, he also reminds his son not to think about it, at least not when Ruprecht is alive.
"Then what should we do now?" the crown prince asked.
"The fundamental reason for the difficulty of this situation is because he is a scheming man, you can understand it, but you can't help it. Emperor Fritz will not listen to us for the benefit of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. As long as the Bavarian Army can fight well, Then they won’t be stingy with remuneration."
"As for us? There is no better choice other than studying. Since everyone is fighting for the spoils of the Eastern Front, we naturally need to leave a stronger army on the Eastern Front." The Kaiser said.
"In fact, we have two methods. The first method is to transfer the Bavarian Army to the western front. The second method is to send the commander-in-chief of the eastern front." The prince thought for a while and said.
"Transfer Ruprecht to the west? No problem in theory. It's just a matter of order, but it will be a problem in the military, and any military officer with a brain will not agree! I really think Lu Precht didn’t think about this problem? He didn’t know how many years ago he thought about this problem! Didn’t you find out? Bavarian medium caliber guns are different from our calibers, we are 77mm guns, they are 75mm guns . How do you get this logistics?"
"Tell you, Xiao Maoqi is still very good. Especially in terms of technology, they have done a lot of research. Maybe the overall picture is not as good as old Maoqi, but in terms of technology and planning, Xiao Maoqi is very strong." The Emperor revealed With a look of helplessness, he didn't expect his son to choose the most unreliable method.
"From a military point of view~www.wuxiaspot.com~The Bavarian army is the least suitable for entering the Western Front. First of all, the Bavarian Kingdom is far from the front line, and the equipment standards are different from the Empire, so if they want to enter For the western front, you need to provide two different logistics systems. This is to find trouble for yourself. From the perspective of material requirements, the consumption of a Prussian division for a battle day is about 120 tons, while the consumption of a Bavarian division for a battle day It’s about 180 tons. If that’s the case, we can still supply it with diligence, but think about it, if those tanks and armored vehicles are to be transported to the French border by rail, how difficult it is? This will squeeze. A large amount of capacity is simply not achievable at this stage!"
"Furthermore, Ruprecht mentioned very blatantly in the report that it is impossible to use the current railway system to quickly pass hundreds of tanks and a large number of self-propelled artillery through the occupied area and then engage in battle at a distance of 400 kilometers from the national border. Imagine! This is the fact, it is not something you can change if you want to change. Little Maoqi has no choice, and no one can quickly transfer such a heavy-duty force to the Western Front under wartime mobilization. So we can only compromise. ."
These things were told by Little Mochi to the Kaiser. When the Kaiser knew about it, he was still a little unwilling. He had consulted others. If there was a chance, even if the traffic and logistics of the Western Front could theoretically support the Bavarian Army's operations, Then he will leave it on the Western Front, but unfortunately, it is impossible, maybe not at all!
