Chapter 1826 The Future of Germany II

As for whether it has become an independent air force? The prince has this plan, but if an independent air force is established, it will definitely cause the air force and naval aviation to compete for aircraft. If it is extreme, there will even be a shortage of aircraft in the German navy and the British navy in history. In fact, from a historical point of view, as long as there is an independent air force among the major powers in World War II, the naval aviation is not good. This has nothing to do with the strength of the Air Force, it is entirely the fault of the system. If the naval aviation is too weak, it is obviously not good for the future development of the navy. Can you imagine how painful it is for a world-class navy that does not have enough carrier-based aircraft! And this time Ruprecht promised to guarantee the navy's aircraft allocation, and what he said must count!

As for why it is necessary to establish a strategic bomber force subordinate to the country? This is indeed what the country needs. If World War II breaks out in the future, a powerful strategic bomber force will be very useful for both the British and the Russians. It can carry out air blockade and bombing for the UK, but for Russia? Then you can attack the red giant's deep target, don't worry about the loss, Maozi's plane may be as high as Japan, so don't worry about the loss. Naturally, such a strategic bomber force must be concentrated and used, so the authority can only be the country!

"I don't know much about politics, so I won't talk about it for now. But in terms of military affairs, will it cause the German military system to be too scattered and weak?" Prince Leopold asked.

"Well, it's certain to disperse some, but in the next ten years, no one can threaten the German Empire. To put it bluntly, give the new Kingdom of Bavaria ten years, and we can single out the French Army! And freedom Even if the British and Prussian armies are worse against the British, the real threat may come from the re-emerging Russia in the future. But by then, we have readjusted the military system." Ruprecht didn't mind Said.

"Moreover, no matter how the army is divided, in fact, there are only two parts that really control the army. Prussia may be divided, but the noble officer corps will still form a whole, which is determined by hundreds of years of inheritance and blood relationship. It will not collapse because of a national border within the empire, and the other is naturally Bavaria. When we really need to fight, we can negotiate with the officer corps." The crown prince explained.

This is the so-called skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Where is the overall combat effectiveness and size of the German army? After the end of World War I, no single country could challenge Germany’s hegemony in Europe, and the developed Bavaria could beat the French or the British Army violently. Not to mention the other states within Germany and the new Austrian Empire! Before the rise of the red giant, Germany was quite safe, and what if after the rise of the Soviet Union? That will be 20 years later, and there is plenty of time to complete the integration of military forces!

"What you said makes sense. If that's the case, I'll be relieved. However, you gave a very high evaluation of the future Russia. Are they stronger than France?" Prince Leopold said with interest.

"If you just talk about the army, they will be stronger than the British and French armies combined 20 years later, and they will become the second largest army power after the German Empire." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"Is that an exaggeration?" The prince frowned and said.

"This is not an exaggeration, but a reasonable prediction based on reality," the prince said.

"Maybe I won't be able to wait for that time, but I believe in you, when the time comes, you can defeat them again!" Prince Leopold said.

"Prussia and Bavaria are settled,

What about other states? What are your plans? And our newly added territory, how should this be divided? ' asked Prince Leopold.

"I still think that the larger states, such as Württemberg, Saxony, and the Grand Duchy of Baden, which have their own independent armies, should get some of the newly added territories as war dividends, which can be territories in Eastern Europe or It is a colony obtained from Africa. After all, they also paid a price and made great efforts for this war. It is completely unjustifiable not to give them. We want everyone who has contributed to Germany to be rewarded, not just lip service Go up or put on a show."

"Even if some states are too small and do not want to acquire new territory, then we should lead the establishment of a foundation to solve their soldiers' demobilization and livelihood problems," the prince added.

"This will be a big project. I'm afraid we need a lot of money." Prince Leopold said.

"It doesn't matter, the Americans will continue to send us money after the war. Maybe the Japanese will also give us a piece of meat." The prince said with a smile.

After this great change, the German Empire will form a situation dominated by the three major powers, but this does not mean that other small states will have no role. Although the German Empire lacks a strong core of power politically, Rupp Recht absolutely does not allow the people of the empire to lack centripetal cohesion! To achieve this goal, it is necessary to eliminate the barriers between regions, and use interests, ideas, and patriotism to unite the hearts of the people. Therefore, in this case, we must pay attention to the welfare of each state and the interests of the people.

"It may be more complicated to deal with the new territories on the Eastern Front. This is not something we can decide, or even a meeting within the empire. After all, this time a large number of Poles, the population of the Baltic Sea coast, Russians, and Ukrainians will be incorporated into the empire in large numbers. , in addition to directly merging some of us into the original state system of the empire, there will definitely be new states or provinces established in some places. The status arrangement of these provinces will be a big problem. I am afraid that within 2 to 3 years after the war, we It's hard to figure it out. So I need more time to think about it," Ruprecht said.

"Poles, you chose to suppress. What about the Ukrainians and Russians?" Prince Leopold asked.

"Ukrainians' national consciousness is actually not high. To be honest, there is no social foundation for the national independence movement in Ukraine. Their so-called independent leaders are more anarchists. Moreover, I also gave half of Ukraine to They are gone, and parts of Transcaucasus. If they want to go to the newly formed country, then go. As for the Russians? Some of them will be absorbed by the new Ukraine, and some will remain in our country People, I believe that they will make a choice after seeing the red Soviet Union." The prince said.

"As for the population along the Baltic Sea? That is something that William II needs to consider, and it has nothing to do with us." Ruprecht added.

"Since you've already made up your mind, let's do it, and it's time for me to do my job well." Prince Leopold said with a smile.
