The Rise of the Empire

What about the Bavarian Army? Although they strengthened an armored battalion, which has about 50 artillery pieces of various calibers, the number of artillery pieces in the division itself has declined. Although the quality has improved, Prussia has 12 heavy artillery pieces and the Bavarian Army has 6 tons. It is impossible for the above artillery to exceed this number. Then Prussia's 105MM howitzer and 77MM rapid-fire gun can be matched in any proportion, but Bavaria cannot. Xiao Maoqi estimated that Bavaria, including the tubes of assault guns, visually estimated that the number of artillery pieces above medium caliber did not exceed 100. He had a 40% numerical advantage. There is no difference in quality either. 10,000 more troops...

Then Little Moltke wanted to know, how could the Prussian Army lose under such circumstances?

"Then can we first take a look at the bombers equipped by the Bavarian Army?" Hindenburg asked.

"Sorry, due to time constraints, we have not arranged relevant itineraries for you. The exercise is about to begin. After we finish talking here, shouldn't you all go back to Berlin immediately to report and prepare?" Ruprecht Said, the pirated Gotha bomber naturally cannot be seen by these people. If they see it, is it okay?

"But we will eventually leave a group of liaison personnel. Prince Albert and Ludendorff will be responsible for relevant liaisons. There should still be time for this, right?" Little Maoqi said.

"Anyway, everything will be known in a few dozen days, so why be so anxious? Can I leave a surprise for the Kaiser?" Although Ruprecht was smiling, everyone knew that this was completely out of the question. , the other party doesn’t agree!

"We can also dispatch fighter jets and reconnaissance planes? How about 30? There are also observation balloons and airships." Xiao Maoqi is like a businessman who spends every penny.

"Yes, but the maximum number of airships is 2. After all, there are not many airships in the entire German Army, right?" The prince thought for a while and said.

"Then if the two fighters meet, how to determine the outcome?" Prince Albert said.

"This question? I want to know what weapons the Prussian aircraft are equipped with now?" When the other party asked, Ruprecht also became a little embarrassed.

"The machine gun is a 7.92MM machine gun fixed at the front of the aircraft. It uses drum magazines to feed ammunition." Xiao Maoqi said.

"I think this issue of victory can be decided before the exercise. Enter the 6 o'clock position behind the enemy fighter and close the distance to 500 meters. If you keep it for 20 seconds, you will win. If it is head-on, I think your chance of winning will be No more than 30%.”

"Why?" Little Maoqi said.

"First of all, you can't fire in the forward direction because the front is the propeller, and you haven't developed a coordinator yet, which is a huge disadvantage in itself. In addition, our fighter weapons are two 7.92MM machine guns or one 12.7MM Machine gun. With a coordinator," the prince said with a smile.

"Okay, we need to discuss it again." Little Maoqi did not make a decision immediately.

"Except for the bomber, we have already touched all of Bavaria's trump cards. There should be no problem, right? I think you can agree. Of course, regarding the issue of His Majesty the Emperor's hunting grounds, His Majesty's approval is still needed." Returning to the hotel where he stayed, Little Maoqi An internal meeting was immediately called.

"It's okay for me to see,

After all, we don't have much time. If we raise objections at this time and the two sides continue to argue, our 1907 annual exercise may become a winter exercise. Hindenburg also said with some concern.

The Kaiser suddenly had a fit and decided to let the Bavarian Army take the field. If Bavaria did not agree, it would naturally not be possible. The Kaiser could not do anything other than curse the opponent. After all, it was at short notice. The Prussian General Staff had no military order authority in peacetime. So in the end, only Xiao Maoqi and others took the blame, and the reason was very good. The work efficiency was low. And no one here is willing to take the blame.

"Since everyone has no objections, then we will consider it passed." Little Maoqi glanced at the venue and said after seeing that no one had any objections.

"Okay, we are now divided into two parts. Generals Hindenburg, Mackensen and I will return to East Prussia immediately to prepare. Ludendorff and Prince Albert are responsible for contacting Bavaria. We must act quickly and leave us There is not much time left." Little Maoqi finally said.

Xiao Maoqi is telling the truth. There is no problem for 30,000 troops to enter the exercise ground, but it also requires a long time of preparation. Moreover, this time Xiao Maoqi also plans to form a highly mobile corps. If nothing else, all The artillery and the supplied ammunition need to be towed by trucks. Not to mention, this thing is really good. A 210MM artillery can be taken away directly in a 3-ton truck. However, a single division will definitely not be able to get these vehicles together. They need to be allocated from various departments, and allocation will take time, and coordination will also take time. The entire tactical and campaign system needs to be re-formulated. This is all time, and Little Maoqi really can't afford to waste it.

"Is it settled?" Prince Leopold said after walking into the prince's study.

"The negotiation was completed, and Moltke agreed the next day. On the fourth day, the Kaiser called and said that he could temporarily provide the land. All the problems were solved. We are just waiting to go on stage." The prince said with a smile.

"You don't know what's going on in your mind, right? You're smiling very reluctantly. Unfortunately, you have no chance to regret it now." Prince Leopold said.

"No regrets, uncle, will you go and see my glorious victory this time?" the prince asked.

"Of course, not only me, but your father is also going. Duke Albert of the Kingdom of Württemberg is also coming back. The latter is someone who may be able to command an army during the war." The prince said with his fingers.

"As for people like Crown Prince Wilhelm, Kruger, Haus, and Helingen, they all go back. These old guys and little guys don't have a fuel-efficient lamp."

"Haha, plus the group of people from Austria-Hungary, when World War I broke out, all the Allied army-level commanders were basically present, which is very embarrassing." Ruprecht handed another list to Prince Leopold. Finally, he said in his heart.

"Have you started preparing?" Leopold asked.

"Of course, we're all ready here. We'll just wait for the Prussian Railway to hear back, and then we can load up and leave," the prince said.

"You seem to have guessed this result a long time ago?"

"Absolutely. Think about it, what the Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor want to see, the people below must achieve their goals no matter what. And we all paid such a high price in the beginning, and when the test is successful, we will not It almost gave me a shiver, didn't it?" Ruprecht replied.

"So, you replaced all the half-tracks in my army?" Prince Leopold said angrily.

"Didn't I tell you everything? It's time to tremble." The prince said.
