The Rise of the Empire

The Prussians are not fools. They will never allow their opponents on the exercise field to have weapons that are obviously out of the ordinary. Let alone assault guns, at least they cannot have cannons. Otherwise, how could the Prussian artillery attack? The two sides were fighting a field battle, and the bunkers were not semi-permanent. How could they withstand long-range artillery attacks? Therefore, the prince can be sure that the other party will either increase their own equipment or limit Bavaria's equipment. In either case, the difficulty of the Bavarian Army's victory will increase.

After all, if a war wants to have a crushing effect, it must be either a quantitative advantage or a qualitative advantage. Either quality and quantity are crushed... The Prussians will definitely make a fuss about the quantity and quality of artillery. This is something Ruprecht can't stop. After all, he wants the whole battle to seem fair, right? The prince has absolutely no doubts about the accomplishments of German generals in artillery, so it is almost impossible to cheat and cheat...

As for the armored corps, although the offensive side can concentrate its forces on one point, it is obviously very difficult to forcefully charge into the anti-artillery positions. The long-range artillery power of both sides is almost equal. The attacker's fire support is not strong, and Xiao Maoqi and others are not stupid. They will definitely equip a large number of 77MM guns or other caliber flat-fire cannons to deal with the beasts of Bavaria. This fight will be difficult. Quite strenuous. Moreover, the armored units in Bavaria's hands are also very limited. After all, it is impossible to form an armored division with more than 200 tanks like World War II. It would be great if they can give you one armored battalion. More than 40 Wasps and Crickets are definitely enough to deal with the Russians who have scarce artillery, but they are not enough to deal with the Germans. If one foot touches the iron plate, the Bavarian Army's attack position happens to be where the opponent's defense is concentrated. If the position is right, after that wave passes, the armored spearhead of this division will no longer exist!

And if there is no armored force, where is Bavaria's advantage? High-speed penetration capability? The training ground is so big, where do you go? Artillery range and numerical superiority? Come on, the Prussians will definitely try to find an equalizer. Troop speed advantage? This doesn't even exist. Therefore, the two sides then transformed into a stalemate and fought a stupid war. If there was no time limit, they could fight to the end of the world. On the training ground, the result is naturally a handshake and peace. And this result is something the prince absolutely does not want!

"I spent so much money just for a tie? Absolutely not allowed!" In fact, the restrictions on the exercise venue have weakened the power of the blitzkrieg, and the Prussians will definitely increase their troops and equipment. The prince spending money to build an army is not just It is a quantitative change, but a qualitative change! He didn't want to accept it during the exercise and let the Kaiser say: "Your tactics are nothing more than mediocrity." The prince wanted to get more rights, wanted to completely control the Eastern Front, and wanted the rights to come from his troops. Unanimous recognition rather than relying on the authorization of the General Staff must achieve a sufficiently brilliant record. This is true on the battlefield, and it is also true on the training ground! Ruprecht wanted to let the Kaiser know that he was right, to let Ferdinand and others realize that he was the only one worthy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's reliance, and to let the Austro-Hungarian legions and nobles know that only by being loyal to him would they be more successful. Brilliant tomorrow! Of course, the prince also wanted the Germans to know that this is how air-ground coordinated operations are fought...

In short, it would be difficult for the prince to regain ground on the ground. To be honest, in World War II, it would be difficult for Germany to defeat Britain and France with its army alone. Without 2,000 bombers and attack aircraft of various types , can the German army destroy France so easily? What are you thinking about? Therefore, the prince who could not find a sense of superiority on the ground finally decided to find his place in the air. Compared with the ground system, the current Bavarian Air Force and the German Air Force are not on the same level! If you must compare, please refer to the Luftwaffe in 1912 and the Luftwaffe in 1916….

After all, Bavaria has even created a shrunken version of Gotha.

The Bavarian Legion with the cooperation of the air force and without the cooperation of the air force are completely different concepts. First of all, one thing to be sure of is that although the air force in this era is very weak, the air defense is even more weak! To be clear, except for the Bavarian Legion, no one probably has the awareness of bombing prevention, right? Because it is a field battle, neither heavy artillery nor a large number of logistics units are protected by solid rock. Isn't the open deployment of heavy artillery positions the best target for the air force? Not to mention the current Prussians, even in World War I, the air forces of both sides could still suppress the other's artillery positions, and the effect was said to be pretty good. Not to mention that Prussia now doesn't even have anti-aircraft machine guns.

Secondly, the presence of the air force also has great advantages for frontal breakthroughs. No matter how many artillery you concentrate on land, it will be limited by the geographical area and artillery range. For example, in the Battle of Verdun, the Germans have reached the limit of artillery density. It is impossible to improve, but the air force is different because they are three-dimensional. You can arrange 200 aircraft to bomb indiscriminately on a one-kilometer front line, but if you try to arrange 200 artillery pieces on the front line, you can let it go. ?

Unlike the army, which is almost open to Prussian technology, the Prussians still don't pay much attention to the air force. Although Moltke is very enthusiastic, enthusiasm cannot solve all problems. Before the air force plays a huge role, no one is willing to invest, except as a Beyond the Prince of Travelers. Therefore, in the prince's view, the air force is a more terrifying service than ground armored forces and fast mobile corps. This time, he needs to make the German top brass realize this, and then gain a large number of orders and the dominance of the air force... .... Therefore, no matter who the opponent is this time, the prince must kill them to pieces! !

"We can make concessions in other aspects in exchange for the admission of our air force. Then it doesn't matter if the other party finally concentrates two divisions. As long as our 36 medium bombers and 24 fighter jets can be in place!" Ruprecht He said to his uncle.

"Do you really trust these things? These bombers are half of the number we have on hand now, and we haven't even conducted large-scale exercises, and we agreed to the Prussians to increase so many troops. If something goes wrong, If you have any questions, how will this end?" Prince Leopold thought for a while and then said: "This time, even Fritz is coming. The outcome of the exercise is directly related to our future status on the Eastern Front. This bet is a bit so big."

"With risks comes rewards. Trust me, uncle," Ruprecht said.
