The Rise of the Empire

So if you have to say that it is not enough, there is only one possibility, Germany is going to war! Fight a big fight! Ruprecht was taken aback by his deduction! "It seems that history has been changed too much by me!" His Royal Highness thought it through in an instant. At least he knows that his hard work for so many years has finally received certain results!

The Kaiser is now scared! At some point, he was no longer the arrogant person who said "you will return to your hometown in the fall" when he saw off the troops, and he no longer hoped to end it with a quick fight. This war is over! He began to regard it as a crisis capable of subverting the German Empire, and he began to seriously consider the protracted war and how to fight it.

Some people may ask, isn't it 2 years ahead of time? It is not easy to advance two years, because the current Kaiser has realized that if a certain limit is exceeded, time is on the side of the Allies. As Britain and France reconcile, their defense strategies will be aligned with the Allies. The Russian government needed time to recover from its defeat in the Russo-Japanese War.

With the passage of time, the power of the three countries will become stronger and stronger, but the strength of Germany and Austria has changed very little. Germany's economic capacity determines its upper limit of force, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Well, their political system determines that their preparations for war are so-so. If it is said who is the slowest in terms of military expenditure growth, army growth, and equipment replacement before the war, Austria-Hungary is second to none.... Don't look down on Russia. In 1913, Russia's naval expenditure was close to that of Germany! With such a weak ally and a rebellious guy on the stand, Germany is enough to back it up.

Of course, at the beginning, Germany's strength was still rising faster than that of the Allies, not to mention Russia. After the war, the Russian government did not do anything in the past few years to solve various internal conflicts and troubles. Needless to say, the French have been preparing for a war of revenge since the Franco-Prussian War. And the British? Now the Boer War is not over yet, they need to solve the problem in South Africa before they can manage Europe. As for why Germany is not doing it now, because Germany itself is not ready. In history, during the first Moroccan crisis in 1910, Germany Didn't dare to do it, let alone now....

However, the Kaiser knows that the war must be launched before Russia is on the right track, or in the early stage of getting on the right track. It must be launched when its own strength has greatly increased and the relative power gap between the two sides is the largest. It means that in 1912, in less than 8 years in the future, the German navy and army must make all preparations, and then give the opponent a fatal blow when the opponent has not yet completed combat preparations!

"Hehe, I finally took the initiative." After thinking about this problem, **** thought helplessly. It seems that the inertia of history is huge. After traveling to this era, one cannot escape this battle after all. Whether he turns a carp into a dragon or is knocked out of the mortal world is in the last few years. Fortunately, Germany's war preparation process is now almost following the route set by the prince, and the prince has to admit that the timetable set by William II is very suitable for the Kingdom of Bavaria.

In order to fight the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians purchased a large amount of munitions from Bavaria and ordered warships. These orders greatly stimulated Bavaria's military industry and its shipbuilding industry. But with the end of the Japanese war, this external stimulus will disappear, and the Russians will no longer buy a large amount of equipment from Germany, which is already considered a potential enemy, and Germany will not sell it casually, and the military production that has begun to expand and drive The next industry will not stop because of this.

Therefore, in order to maintain the current production capacity and vitality, someone must take over.

And this taker can only be the government! And the new artillery and machine guns bought by the government are all for use, otherwise why put them in the warehouse? It didn't take long for it to fall behind again. In His Royal Highness's view, because of Germany's military expansion and preparations for war, it directly fueled the flames of the Bavarian military industry that had gradually stalled, allowing the entire military industry system to continue to maintain efficient operation. In this way, Germany can maintain its best condition when it enters the war.

It is good that the Kaiser has this meaning, but it is still far from the requirements of the war. According to the estimation of His Royal Highness, this war will last for more than 3 years, right? The Eastern Front took one and a half years to smooth out the world, and half a year to solve the problems of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.... Then it will take more than a year to draw with Britain and France. It will be hard to say if it takes longer. After all, the attitude of the Americans may change over time.

In order to cope with this protracted national war, Germany still needs to establish a relatively complete national reserve system, and use this time to consolidate the channel with Turkey, and help Turkey develop agriculture to achieve food self-sufficiency within the Allies. The latter is even more demanding than the former. After all, there is food in hand and no panic in the heart. The Austro-Hungarian Empire can guarantee self-sufficiency during the war is already a high incense, and Germany will definitely not be able to guarantee it, whether it is a good year or a bad year.

The real potential is Turkey. Turkey now has at least Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, as well as Syria, Lebanon and other places in later generations. Especially the former, there are still many places that can produce food. The key is that Turkey has only 30 million people in total. However It is half of Germany, and they are fully capable of being a food exporting country, as long as the farming is better and the road traffic can be kept smooth.

Therefore, if you have time, the prince will also talk to the Kaiser that, in addition to the Eastern and Western Fronts, Germany should also pay attention to the Balkans, and even now it is necessary to keep Turkey's territory in the Balkans, such as the later Balkan War , In this way, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey can use the existing 3B railway to join together to form a supply system within the Allies!

Then figure out how to do some tricks on the British blockade of the North Sea. It is impossible for the British capital ship to patrol and blockade the northern end of the North Sea all day long, so don't do anything else. Not even armored cruisers, most of them are auxiliary cruisers, and their strength is not very strong, that is to say, there is room for manipulation. Well, Your Royal Highness has an idea.

But before that, he needs to let Tirpitz fully accept his strategic and tactical thinking. For this reason, he also called on Admiral von Pohl. After all, he is the commander of the High Seas Fleet. tied up. The Navy's Big Three called two, and the remaining one was not very good. But the prince also sent a message, which means, just listen to it. We are not discussing personnel issues this time....

This is the rhythm of the Kaiser who clearly wants to hand over the major policies of the navy to the Communist Party. At this time, Liao Le will not jump out to make fun of himself, and fight against the Kaiser and the general trend, right?
