Chapter 895 Remuneration 3

Having two military systems in one country is a very big problem in itself, but there is no way. This is the national situation of the Second German Empire... And how to say it? To a certain extent, it is precisely because the Kingdom of Bavaria has produced a series of competitive products that it has avoided the "inbreeding" of Germany's internal military-industrial enterprises. It is not good to have two systems, but competition is necessary!

The Kaiser and Moltke hated the "inbreeding" of various military-industrial enterprises in Prussia, so the Kaiser allowed Bavarian military industry to expand. When the war broke out, German front-line officers and soldiers discovered that Bavaria's After the equipment was indeed much easier to use than my own, I gradually began to accept the idea of ​​replacing equipment from bottom to top. There were too many troops on the Western Front and it was impossible to replace them all at once. Moreover, the pressure on the Western Front was too great now. If the troops wanted to replace If you want to install it, you can only replace it with the withdrawn troops first. This is a very long process. But the Eastern Front is different. The prince’s troops account for more than 60% of the total German troops on the Eastern Front! Moreover, the Russian troops on the Eastern Front actually put little pressure on the prince, so the change of troops will not affect the battle situation. The longer-term plan is that if the troops on the Eastern Front can improve their combat effectiveness by constantly changing their equipment, then the Prussian Army after changing its equipment can be transferred to the Western Front to deal with Britain and France... Before this meeting, the Kaiser and Moltke had reached a certain consensus on the issue of expanding the share of Bavarian equipment in the German army. Now, Moltke raised this issue just to pave the way for the Kaiser. . This move is undoubtedly cutting the flesh of the Prussian military and heavy industry groups. After all, if Mackensen's army group is equipped with equipment produced in Bavaria, then both material and human resources will definitely be tilted towards the Kingdom of Bavaria. Prussia has less. But for the Kaiser, he was the emperor of Germany. Prussian capitalists and factory owners were only part of his empire. He could support them or suppress them when necessary. Of course, the most important thing is that Krupp, Mauser, Rheinmetall and the like are really weak! No wonder the Kaiser took action! "If this is the case, our original economic and military production plans may undergo relatively large changes." Prime Minister Biaoluo said with some concern. The German military-industrial system in this dimension is a bit more chaotic than in history. Historically, although Bavaria raised its own army, the equipment and training were the same as Prussia. There is no problem of establishing a separate mountain, but now, the armies of Bavaria and Prussia are almost two systems. Although some artillery and ammunition are interchangeable, the technical equipment such as tanks and aircraft are completely different. Infantry semi-automatic rifles and Machine guns are also different. "At the same time, there are also some problems with our mobilization system. Bavaria has a population of 13 million, but it does not accept the mobilization arrangements of the central government. Now, if we add additional troops, I think it is inappropriate. "Biao Luo looked at the Kaiser and said with some anxiety, because he knew that after Prince Ruprecht's victory and becoming a hero of the empire, his actions were obviously in conflict with the current trend, but as a prime minister, He still had to remind the Kaiser! It is true that for the German army, if the equipment change can be completed, the combat effectiveness will naturally be improved to a higher level, but the process is definitely very troublesome, and problems may occur if you are not careful, and then something goes wrong. how to do? And another important factor is the human resources issue. The human resources of the Kingdom of Bavaria are the responsibility of the king himself. In other words, the German General Staff can mobilize the human resources of Prussia, Saxony, and Württemberg, but for Bavaria, It's more difficult. Because the latter is an independent leader,

Even if the General Staff still has the power to command military orders, you can't transfer Bavarians to other armies without the Bavarian army being replenished, right? This doesn’t make sense!

As Prime Minister, Biaoluo has a good understanding of the energy of various countries. In terms of manpower alone, Bavaria's population of 12 million to 13 million already accounts for about one-fifth of Germany's total population. In fact, because of Princess Mary, Bohemia and Moravia can also provide personnel for the Bavarian Legion. There are more than 9 million people in the territory of the Archduchess of Bohemia! This adds up to more than 20 million people. What is the total population of Prussia? It is estimated that there are no more than 40 million people! This power really cannot be ignored. Biaoluo's implicit meaning is that this Bavaria is somewhat powerful! "Well, this time, Ruprecht can get the dual title of marshal of the German Empire Army and Navy. The Mackensen Army can also change its uniforms. As for other issues, we can talk about it later." After all, Biaoluo's words aroused the concerns of the Kaiser. Bavaria was indeed a bit stronger, and the current decision affected the future division of interests on the Eastern Front. It was indeed difficult to make a decision in such a short period of time. "Little Maoqi, Biao Luo, let's go together. In addition, tell those newspapers to let them report the victory of this battle objectively and in detail. I hope that the front page of any newspaper I can turn to is the British Pictures of fleets sinking to the bottom of the sea one by one! Go ahead and do it." The Kaiser thought for a moment and said. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day, the Kaiser and his party boarded the special train to Kiel Port on time. At the same moment, the prince also handed over the command of the fleet to General von Boll again as a temporary guest appearance. Commander of the fleet, the prince has completed his mission. Before obtaining the next authorization from the Kaiser, the prince has the right to know the actions and plans of the High Seas Fleet, and can veto action plans not proposed by the Kaiser, but he cannot directly command the fleet. After all, the High Seas Fleet was the fleet of the German Empire. Of course, as the biggest contributor to this battle, the prince will also participate in a series of subsequent activities, such as celebratory banquets, various honorary awards, and various media interviews. But none of this is as important as the upcoming meeting with the Kaiser! From now on, the prince can really focus on the Eastern Front to achieve his ultimate goal-to defeat Russia and assimilate Austria! The talks with the Kaiser will have a profound impact on this goal! "I will first get rid of Russia and weaken as much as possible this behemoth that is now called Russia and will be called the Soviet Union in later generations. Then there will be Austria, not the Austria of later generations, but a Greater Austria, and then? Germany? I need it. Think about it," the prince said to himself, looking at the map.
