Chapter 1547 Arrangement

"Your Highness, if you are worried that there will be problems with Turkey's direction, we can transfer another batch of troops who are resting from home to the battlefield. Judging from the current level of mobilization, our potential for mistakes can still be tapped." Caliput suggested from the side.

"Is there really no problem?" the prince asked. The Kingdom of Bavaria now has a population of 13 million, of which the army has about 600,000. These troops include not only the frontal corps, but also the air force and logistics personnel. Among them, there are currently 450,000 troops and reserve teams on the front line.

Judging from the proportion of the army and population, Bavaria's proportion is not high, but don't forget that the Kingdom of Bavaria also undertakes a considerable part of the military production tasks of the Prussian Legion! And as the troops advance towards Ukraine, the railway and infrastructure construction must also keep up, which also requires a lot of manpower. Of course, military strength is like water in a sponge, some can always come out after being squeezed, but after all, they are the prince's subjects, and the lessons learned from history make the prince not willing to squeeze the power of the people too much.

"It's not a big problem. We have now effectively controlled the Russian army in the Polish pocket battle. They can take on some unskilled work, and the cost of these people's work is very low. Some of the officers are also willing to cooperate with us ’ said Caliper. "Of course, if efficiency is what you're after, things are more convenient."

Ruprecht naturally knew what Caliput meant by efficiency. But the prince is also unwilling to do anything to the Russians, because this part of the Russians will also be one of the future prince's basic bases in the newly added territory, which is related to the social stability of parts of Ukraine that have been incorporated into Bavaria.

If nothing else, it will still be the Bolsheviks who rule Russia after the war. And these officers and troops who had been loyal to the Tsar were the result of being liquidated even if they returned to their hometown in Russia after the war. Perhaps if they continued to stay in Germany, the prince would ask for money (taxation) at most. And if you go back to China, it will be fatal. This is how White Russia, which was exiled in Europe and the Far East in history, was formed. Even if they waver at first, as the situation develops, they will have their own choices. Don't think that the nobles were the only ones who resisted the Bolsheviks. In fact, at that time, it was the result of a melee between the Red Army, the White Army, and anarchists. Otherwise, the Russian Civil War would not have lasted that long.

The population is slowly accumulating. Bavaria's current population has far surpassed history, but it is not enough to rule the vast area after the war, so this part of the people must also fight for it. And if you want to fight for it, you can't squeeze it too hard.

"You can properly prepare some reserves, but don't go into the battlefield lightly. This time the Russians have mobilized troops from the Caucasus to support the Borusinov offensive. The pressure on the Turks should have been very small, so this battle will be They should be allowed to contribute.”

"I remember,

You once said that a young Turkish general named Kemal performed very well, is that true? "The prince said. In fact, the prince has always been very concerned about the future father of the Turkish Republic. To be honest, it would be better for Kemal to take over the power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire after the victory of the Allies. This guy has Capable and ideal. It is a good choice.

"It's like this. Most of the officers in his army were trained in the Bavarian Army. He also studied in a German military academy. He has a certain understanding of our tactics and concepts. If you add suitable equipment, It may not be possible to drive the French army into the sea, but it is still possible to slow down the opponent." Caliput said.

"That's good. We can deploy some armored troops and officers to cooperate with them. The scale is not large, but it must be elite. We also remind the Turks to do the work of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields. We will make it difficult for the French after landing."

"If possible, I hope that the final confrontation line between the Turkish Army and the landing French Army will be within 150 to 200 kilometers from the landing point, because this distance is almost beyond the length of the supply line at the army level, unless the French invest a lot Motor vehicles, otherwise, there will always be problems with their supplies, and this distance also provides space for us to intersperse behind." The prince said.

The prince needs the French to land on the Turkish mainland on a large scale. On the one hand, it is natural to contain more French troops, and on the other hand? how to say? The icing on the cake won't be appreciated. But giving charcoal in a timely manner will make people feel grateful. If the French didn't fight harder, how could the Ottoman Turkish Empire remember the prince's favor? And if you don't know that the prince saved the whole of Turkey, then what if Turkey wants too many benefits after the war?

Looking at the map, the Transcaucasus region is almost adjacent to Turkey. If Turkey insists on incorporating this region into it, will the prince give it or not? ! To be honest, although the Middle East will be the oil pole of the world in the future, the largest and most mature oil field in the entire Eurasian continent was the Baku oil field until the end of World War II! Ask if you are afraid of 20 million tons of fuel oil a year!

Naturally, the prince can’t give it, but it can’t make the little brother Turkey feel dissatisfied. After all, from a geopolitical point of view, Turkey’s strategic location directly across the Eurasian continent and connected to the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea, and Persian Gulf is too large. It's important! And it really has the potential to become a big country. Don't forget, the current Turkey is not the Turkey that was carved up in history and only Asia Minor was left. The current Turkey is a great empire including Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and other places in later generations, as well as the coastal areas of the Saudi Arabian peninsula!

In the eyes of the prince, this is a very good raw material origin and product dumping market.... Naturally, we should attach great importance to this kind of ally, and at the same time, we must fight and drag...

From a military point of view, the vacancy period in the Balkans is at most about 40 to 50 days. The French found that it would take time for the Bavarian Army to enter Ukraine, and it would take time to raise troops to launch a landing operation. Counting all kinds of messy things after landing, the time they can really use for propulsion will not be long. And the size of the troops will not be large. After all, the French are the main force on the Western Front, and the total population of France is only 40 million... . Even if the British and the Anzacs are counted, when the Bavarian Army turns back and returns, the size of the combat troops that landed should not exceed 300,000. In fairness, 8 to 10 Bavarian divisions with the cooperation of a large number of elite Turkish troops to defeat this force is really not a big problem.

After thinking of this, the prince no longer worried about the situation in Turkey, and turned his attention to Ukraine again!
