Chapter 1875: The Power of Policy One

So how many troops could a newly formed Prussian Confederation have? It is estimated that the maximum is no more than 280,000. For Bavaria, the military expenditure needed in peacetime for this force is not a big piece of cake. After all, in peacetime, the speed of equipment update and consumption is very slow. And after the war is over, the parliamentary faction will definitely receive some equipment, and there will be less room for purchasing new equipment. To put it bluntly, this condition is really tasteless!

"In my opinion, if the parliamentary party does not organize its own independent army after the establishment of the new federation, and gives us the military expenses, and let us take care of their defense tasks, maybe I will consider it." The prince said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"That is to say, you are not satisfied with the requirements of neither the Kaiser nor the parliament? Is that so?" Earl Schelling said. "According to the principle of negotiation, we are unwilling to accept their offer, so now it's our turn to make an offer. Do you have any ideas about our offer?"

"In fact, I have reached the point where I have no desire for territory, military power, and political rights within the Federation. I have obtained everything that should be obtained. Now I think we should do something in other areas, such as The integration of the country as a whole and some legal aspects." Ruprecht said seriously.

"You mean to unify the postal services, railways, and roads within the empire? Bavaria has been independent for so many years, and Prussia wants to control us in these areas. However, what we didn't expect is that now, we have given up by ourselves. It's really satisfying. Unexpected." Earl Sherin said with some emotion.

"Hehe, before we did it for self-protection, and then for better development. In fact, Prussia's planning in these areas was based on its own needs and did not conform to future development. Except for these administrative aspects In addition to other things, we also need to set up some coherent organizations to implement some large projects and projects, such as the development of Germany's overall aviation industry, the development and utilization of colonies, and some scientific and technological research and development work." Rupp Recht said.

There are many large projects that require the country's long-term investment and attention, such as the Manhattan Project similar to World War II. The so-called short-term worries must have short-term worries. In some key areas, such as aviation, nuclear weapons, electronic equipment, and basic science, national policy guidance and continuous support are the key factors for the continued strength of the German Empire. As a time traveler, Crown Prince Ruprecht believes that this No one in the world knows the future trend of earth technology development better than himself, so the crown prince wants to guide the entire German Empire to take the lead in the future development.

And this kind of guidance cannot be changed due to the change of the government. It cannot be that the Kaiser faction is in power today, and the whole project is advancing rapidly, and then when the parliament faction takes power in the next term, this project will be canceled directly, right? If this is the case, Germany is still playing tricks! Completely populist!

Facts have proved that some cutting-edge industries are not only a problem of enterprises and R&D institutions, but also a problem of government and overall coordination. There are many very good projects or companies that did not die from competition or technology, but died in a government document. The so-called enemy on Capitol Hill is really not just talk! For example, after the end of World War II, the decline of the British aviation industry was inseparable from the government's cheating and corporate decision-making issues! It is not too much to say that the British government has killed the aviation industry!

(This paragraph is to express the author's own feelings. If you feel that the number of words is watery, you can find a way by yourself. However, if you read it, you will have a general understanding of the history of the British aviation industry. Well, you can decide for yourself Bar)

After World War II, which one is stronger in the aviation industry? Don't talk about Germans,

Even the United States, which was the pinnacle of power in the world at that time, could only rank second in the aviation field! When it comes to aircraft and aero engines, the empire on which the sun never sets has really reached its peak! Among the piston propeller engines, the Americans can still save some face by relying on the R2800 (the British Griffin Saber engine and the Centaur engine are also good, crushing the air-cooled engines of other countries, not as good as 0 and the like, but say One level is still ok.) And the liquid-cooled engine was left a few streets behind by the British.

Well, if you want to say that these are yesterday's flowers and have entered the jet age, then everyone will naturally look at jet engines, so well, let's talk about jet engines!

Even in the 21st millennium, the British Rolls-Royce engine factory still shoulders the heavy responsibility of fighting the Americans in the field of civilian engines, and in the military field, the EJ200 is also the top medium-thrust engine on the planet! However, this is far from the time when the British Empire was at its peak.

At the end of World War II, two German jet engines were produced, such as Jumo's JUMO004 series and BMW's BM003 series. The former is the standard equipment of the famous German aircraft ME262. Although the latter was not well-known in World War II, if it is the originator of a very famous engine in later generations, the French Atta engine was modified on the basis of BM003. The Phantom 3, 4, and 5 were still There are super flags that use Atta engines, and the famous Phantom engines in later generations are actually related to BM003.

But what about the British? At that time, there were 4 companies engaged in jet engines! And they all produced good products. The most famous is naturally the famous Rolls-Royce engine manufacturer. The Nien series engines produced by him were the originator of the first generation jet fighter engines in the world at that time! Whether it is the MiG 15 or MiG 17 of the United States or the bear, the engine problems can be traced back to the Nien engine. In terms of performance, when the JUMO04 engine can't run at 800KG thrust, the Nien engine has reached 2000 kg, and the stability is very good! As for Rolls-Royce's products? Look at the engine of the Airbus, look at the RB199 engine of the wind and the later EJ200 engine, needless to say?

The second thing I want to talk about is Bristol Engine Company, which had two brands in the early days of the jet age. One is the Orpheus series and the other is the Olympus series. Leaving aside the fact that the former is a small engine, if you want to talk about the Olympus series, are they very famous in the aviation industry? Do you know the Olympus 593 engine? The famous Concorde airliner uses this engine! The maximum thrust is 139.4 kN, and the afterburner thrust is 169.2 kN! This is an engine from the 1960s! Just ask if you are afraid, just ask if you are awesome!
