Chapter 689: Bargain two

"The population of Bavaria is no more than 12 million now. My father is a king. He cannot allow his people to lose too much in the war. Although Bavaria has a strong industrial and economic strength, our soldiers are limited. We are. The number of troops that will continue to be put into the battlefield will not exceed 500,000. Because in the future, the Bavarian military factory will not only supply its own army but also supply the Prussian and Austro-Hungarian Army. In other words, our total military strength is limited."

"So, the best way to cooperate is for Bavaria to provide officers, training, equipment, and funds. The grassroots forces are provided by your country. Obviously, the closest to Bavaria, the most convenient place for us to operate this thing is only Bomia. The two regions are next to each other, and the relationship between each other is very close, and the relationship between the people is also very close. As long as we have another name given by the government, then all problems will not be a problem!"

   "Those are all Czechs, I remember you should have a great opinion on the Czechs, right? You have always planned to establish a pure-blooded German Legion." Grand Duke Ferdinand said.

"First of all there are a large number of Germans in the Sudetenland. Secondly, we choose Germans because of their nationality and loyalty. If Czechs can do this, I don't mind using Czechs. In addition, how to build and use them. This army is my business, you don't need to care."

"We can even make a bet. In return for the assistance provided by the Bavarian Legion to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, my wife should have the title of Grand Duchess of Bohemia and the management of the region. And if expensive The Chinese army can face the Russian army alone, without the help of the Bavarian Army, then we will give up our internal affairs rights to the above two areas after the war."

"If the Austro-Hungarian government needs the Bavarian Army to fight in Galicia or other regions, then the previous agreement will continue, and depending on the battles you participate in, your country will need to pay a different price. The risks and benefits of both parties They are all equal. How do you feel when you speak with your ability?" Prince Ruprecht said.

   "But in any case, you have to control these two places before and during the war, right?" Crown Prince Ferdinand said.

"We took on the defense missions of Bohemia and Moravia at the same time. I need to make it clear that the Bavarian Army was not assigned to the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the German? We are just a cooperative relationship. You have no right to order. And we We also have to take on the task of the German defense zone. We train and provide funds for the Austro-Hungarian Army, but we don't even have the right to command or use local resources. Isn't that inappropriate?" The prince refused to give in.

Bringing these two regions into their own control during the war was the prince’s bottom line, because Bohemia and Moravia were not only the most important industrial bases of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also important military bases. At the beginning of the war, the Czech Army occupied a very important position in the Austro-Hungarian Army in terms of infantry alone! It is an indispensable pillar.

  First of all, from the perspective of the infantry regiment, there are 41 infantry regiments composed of Hungarians, ranking first among all ethnic groups. Leave it alone. The Czech infantry regiment has 16 regiments, ranking second. There are 10 infantry regiments composed of Austrian Germans, ranking third. There are 6 infantry regiments composed of Moravians, ranking fourth. The rest are Croatians, Slovenians, etc., as well as mixed groups of some ethnic groups. That is to say, even according to history, Ruprecht can get at least 24 steps from Bohemia and Moravia. The strength of the Corps. This greatly enriched the infantry number of the Bavarian Army.

In addition to the infantry regiments, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also has hunting battalions. In addition to the 24 infantry regiments, these two regions can also provide 7 hunting battalions, while the entire Austria has only 6 German hunting battalions. Hungary There are only 8 hunting battalions. With these forces in hand, the Bavarian Army will be able to do both offense and defense.

  From the perspective of the population of the two places, Bohemia now has a population of 6.86 million, while Moravia has a much smaller population of 2.66 million! This population of nearly 9.5 million can provide Ruprecht with a large number of reserve forces. It is commanded by a prince and equipped with elite equipment provided by Bavaria and Bohemia. The loss of the Czech Army will definitely be much lower than in history, so there is not much. Under the stimulus of the loss of the Czech Republic, the national independence tendency of the Czech Republic will be suppressed, and the region is relatively stable.

  Of course, in terms of territorial area, Bohemia has 5,1967 square kilometers. Moravia also has 22,231 square kilometers, and these two places add up to 74,000 square kilometers. The area is almost comparable to that of the Kingdom of Bavaria. If you ask for more, something will happen. After all, the area of ​​the Kingdom of Austria is only 300,000 square kilometers. This is equivalent to going to a quarter of the territory!

  In return ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Bavarian Army can win more than 70,000 square kilometers of land for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The whole of Western Ukraine and part of Poland can be considered. If Romania is still as ignorant as in history, it would be fine to clean him up by the way. Of course, the ultimate goal of the prince is this. Even if parts of Hungary are separated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he and Prince Mary can still have a world-class power, thus completing the power accumulation of the Wittelsbach family from the kingdom to the empire.

"The right can be delegated to you now. You can prepare for the war according to your own ideas. Princess Mary will be the Grand Duke of Bohemia and Moravia. However, regarding the issue of inheritance, I think it will take a while after the war begins. Convenient for discussion. As for the fact that apart from fighting the Russians, I don’t think the Serbian side needs to think about it. We will be able to deal with them soon.” King Fritz said.

"Let's do it, I hope this appointment will come down as soon as possible. As for the work of the local government of Bohemia, we will do it. Sometimes, money and communication can make the other party succumb more than Huairou." Prince Ruprecht Said. This result is acceptable to the prince. As long as the opponent delegates power before the war starts and allows him to take over smoothly, then it will be enough. Because the Austro-Hungarian Army was destined to be unable to defeat the Russians in the first war, so in order to save the empire, Fritz Any conditions can be agreed, and if nothing happens, Archduke Ferdinand should probably be gone!
