The Rise of the Empire

"The correct approach is to temporarily suppress Austria-Hungary's ambitions in the Balkans, reassure the Russians, and then let Russia fight the Japanese to the death in the Far East! The longer the fight, the better, and the greater the damage caused, the better!" the prince said. continued.

"Hehe, do you really think so? Just a few days ago, you just finalized the order contract for 4 new warships with the Russians, an order of 7.5 million pounds! 4 warships that are more powerful than the Asama class, I Now I suspect that you want Russia to win against Japan." The Kaiser laughed.

"The victory must be Japan. The Russians have no friends behind them. The French, the British, including us, do not want the Russians to win. We all hope that in this war, the Russians will be broken. And behind Japan is the British The French are also neutral, plus the current Russia is nothing but a mud-footed giant. If you fight against a newly rising power in the far East, failure is certain."

"It is precisely because of this that I will work hard to strengthen the Russian Legion so that the Russians will always have a feeling that they can win as long as they persist. As long as this illusion exists, the war can continue. Until the price they pay is too high Big enough to be unbearable."

"What you said seems to make sense. But what if something goes wrong?" asked the Kaiser.

"I haven't made any major mistakes in what I've done so far. So what if I made a mistake? The Russians won the battle, and the British suffered the most. What does it have to do with us?" the prince said proudly.

"But what I am worried about is that the strengthened Russian army in Bavaria may be used against Germany in the future. What do you think, such as those warships, as well as new artillery and machine guns." The Kaiser said worriedly.

"It is impossible to say that the Russians can't learn anything, but Russia is different from Germany. What suits us is not suitable for the Russians! Machine guns and heavy artillery are good, but Russia may not have enough industrial production capacity and funds. To arm such an army. And you think an army is strong as long as it has a lot of heavy artillery and machine guns? No, it is not like this. With the development of technology, the military will become more complex, only those who can really grasp the pulse of the times The lucky ones will be able to control the army of the new era...."

"Okay, let's stop your boasting here. It's just you and me here, and I won't publicize it for you." The Kaiser said with a white glance at the prince who was in a state of anxiety.

"It is precisely because there are only two of us that some things can be said more bluntly." The prince curled his lips and said. According to the standard of the three irons in life in the last plane, the prince and William have carried guns together. Having shared the spoils together, coupled with the close status of the two parties, excellent personal relationship, and the same fundamental interests, the two of them will naturally be more casual when there are no outsiders.

"What do you think of those guys in the General Staff?" William II said meaningfully.

"From a level, it is quite satisfactory, but it is not suitable as a military decision-making body of the German Empire. Their ideas are too old, and they are still obsessed with the old papers of the Franco-Prussian War all day long. The estimates made a lot of mistakes. The strategic design was simply a failure. Of course, the most important point is that they don’t understand politics and the relationship between politics and the military!” The prince offended Schlieffen and others mercilessly .

His Royal Highness can definitely say this. He has the qualifications. In terms of knowledge, who in this plane can compare with the prince who is a time traveler in terms of military strategy? On the level of tactical battle level,

The prince grew up under the personal care of his uncle, the famous general Prince Leopold. In terms of actual combat experience, the prince has never directly commanded a battle, but at least he has made great achievements in the tactics and organization of the blue army. Schlieffen and others were nothing more than soy sauce in the Franco-Prussian War.

"That's a bit too much." The Kaiser's face tightened slightly, and he said with some dissatisfaction. After all, these people were selected from among the many Prussian officers, and you knocked them all down with one word. Where does this make the Kaiser lose face?

"Okay, I don't have much to say. Let's speak with facts. I have prepared a plan to show those old antiques what advanced combat power is, and I will convince them myself. You can arrange a few confidantes to work together Go to Bavaria." The prince was too lazy to say much, and was about to end the topic.

"Then you should reveal something first." The Kaiser really wanted to beat the Junker noble officer corps, and in order to make this plan go smoothly, he needed to understand the prince's thoughts.

"Schlieffen has been busy with one thing since he took office, which is to face France's combat plan. In fact, this plan is very simple. Use railway transportation as a means of attack, quickly concentrate forces, and then occupy the opponent's railway system. The railway throws a large number of troops into the opponent's depth with lightning speed, so as to solve the opponent in a short time."

"Here is where I started! This plan is completely unrealistic. If it is just a sand table deduction, then Schlieffen's plan may be successful, but if it is implemented in practice, it is absolutely impossible to succeed! Pure logistics pressure It is enough to crush the troops participating in the battle!"

"He didn't have a clear understanding of the ammunition and material consumption of the army. It is estimated that most of their materials should still be based on the consumption during the Franco-Prussian War. The data compiled by Mackensen during the Sino-Japanese War probably did not enter these people's records." Eyes. It is completely wrong to designate the current combat plan based on the attrition and movement speed of the war decades ago."

"And they don't have a clear understanding of their opponents. After suffering a big loss, the French and even the Russians are improving their own railway network. Schlieffen's evaluation of the opponent's maneuvering speed and mobilization ability is too optimistic. Even more intolerable Yes, he actually has no other plans, and puts everything on a desperate attempt, which is absolutely unacceptable. Could it be that a failure in an assault directly ruins the future of the empire?" The prince was already a little angry when he spoke.

"Hehe, then I'll wait for your results, but what you said is very interesting. Staff officers always specify a perfect strategy for the last war. Hmm. If you can convince those old stubborn people, I would like to share your experience Promote it to the Prussian army." The Kaiser said with a smile.
