Chapter 708: Bavaria-Bohemian Army One

Two weeks later, Prince Leopold brought the future mobilization charter drawn up by the Bavarian General Staff to Ruprecht’s office. If nothing happens, this document will become the next three. One of the important basis for Bavaria’s military expansion and preparations in

"From the perspective of the current size of the army, there are a total of 6 complete military-level units that belong to the Kingdom of Bavaria. They are the newly established First Rapid Assault Army and Second Assault Army, the Bavarian Rapid First Army and Second Army, and Bavaria. The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army. Each army has three combat divisions."

"We have adopted this organization for a reason. Under normal circumstances, the ordinary Prussian army has about 42,000 people, of which there are two combat divisions. Each division has a strength of about 17,000, and military units and logistics units have 8,000. . And because we are equipped with more vehicles, each division’s own capacity and military capacity have been greatly enhanced. Therefore, we support the operations of the three divisions while ensuring that the military units remain unchanged. So in After briefing Prussia, we decided to adopt three divisions for the Assault Army and the Rapid Army."

"Of course, in addition to the above reasons, the most important reason is that if we want to defeat our opponents, the current 2nd Division Army is not very effective. One of our troops can easily kill a Russian army, but against 2 armies. Or when the opponent has additional divisions and first-level units, there are some difficulties. This difficulty does not mean that we cannot kill the opponent, but because of the limited strength, we cannot quickly encircle and eat it, so I suggest adding an additional army. To improve the combat effectiveness of the first-level military units."

"Among them, there are three assault divisions under the First Assault Army, each with 14,000 assault divisions. At the same time, the military has 8,000 direct troops, technical arms and logistics personnel, so the first assault army has 50,000 people. The main task of the troops is to intersperse and break through."

"The Second Assault Army has two assault divisions and a rapid division. They can be used as a supplement to the first assault army, but also as a force to outflank and attack fortifications. The entire army together has 56,000. The first and the first The second assault army is to quickly break through the opponent's position, and to cut the opponent, destroy the opponent's rear base, and then cut the opponent's preparations."

"The Bavarian Rapid First Army and the Second Army are also three divisions. Each division has a strength of close to 20,000. As a result, a rapid army has a size of nearly 70,000. When our assault army breaks through Russia After the defense line and the destruction of their rear supply line, our rapid army can quickly eat the strength of about two Russian armies. If the assault army is our long sword, then the rapid army is our heavy hammer. They have The strongest positional combat capability in our army."

"As for the Bavarian Fifth Army and the Sixth Army, they are the 2nd Division Army. The divisions belonging to each corps are the ordinary Bavarian divisions. The forces and equipment are similar to the general Prussian divisions. There are basically no independent armored units and the number of vehicles. It will also drop a lot, because they don’t need too fast speed and breakthrough ability, which are mainly used for subsequent siege and annihilation wars. Of course, more importantly, our funds are not enough."

"In this way, we have a total of 5 assault divisions, 7 rapid divisions, and 4 ordinary divisions? If we calculate the total strength, then we have a total of 320,000 troops. This number is close to ours. Isn't it the limit? And it is estimated that the limit of force will not be reached until 1912?" Ruprecht asked.

"That's it. We can complete the reorganization of the First Assault Army and the Second Assault Army this year, and the reorganization of the two rapid armies in 1910. By 1911, the two armies can be fully reorganized. As for Bavaria's fifth The Army and the Sixth Army are the original Bavarian Army. It’s just a number. By 1912, our strength will reach its peak!” Prince Leopold said.

"There is always a feeling of drinking poison to quench thirst. The army of 320,000 people has almost drained the reserve of Bavaria’s existing and just retired veterans for one to two years? And if we are right, the Bavarian Air Force troops Is it another thing?" The prince's face was a bit ugly. Think about the Bavarian Legion in history, and then look at the figures reported by Prince Leopold. The prince even doubts whether this plan can be completed in the first time of the war.

In history, the Bavarian Army has only 210,000, with 5 corps and 1 cavalry corps, a total of about 10 infantry divisions and 3 cavalry divisions, although the number of divisions has not increased much, but considering the strength of the cavalry divisions A cavalry corps is not as large as a Bavarian division, and each division on this plane is generally larger than in history, so the gap is already very large. Including the technical arms of tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft, it takes a long time to train, which makes the prince feel that this mobilization plan is Alexander.

"You’re right. The size of the air force is extra calculated. Before the war, we have to have 10 fighter squadrons~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Each formation has 20 fighters, which is 200 aircraft, they will bear Air defense and reconnaissance missions. The number of bomber squadrons will reach 12, and each squadron will have 24 bombers. This is 288 bombers, nearly 500 first-line aircraft and some second-line aircraft. These air forces need about 45,000 people for logistics, Security and maintenance work.” In fact, our total strength at the outbreak of the war should be around 370,000. "Prince Leopold said.

"I'm going, is this crazy?" Ruprecht showed an incredulous expression. According to the best estimates so far, the Kingdom of Bavaria had a population of about 13 million in 1912, and immediately after the war broke out with a force of 370,000, the size of this violent force caught up with Serbia. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, can we sling two Russian armies? Is this really okay?

Someone may have said that in 1918, Germany maintained a size of 4 million troops on the Western Front. If you count the remaining troops on the Eastern Front, it is easy to reach 4.5 million, and then consider the relationship between the technology of the German population and the size of the military. Then it is normal for a population of 12 million to burst out of 700,000 troops. But what about this thing? In the beginning, the rioters are completely different from the later squeezing potential rioters, regardless of the cost. The latter was mobilized after 4 years of the war, and the first wave of troops must be completed within 18 days of the war. On the battlefield! Can the difficulty be the same? The most taboo thing in the military is to compare situations in different periods, which has little reference value.
