Chapter 1600 True and False 2
"Your Majesty, do we need to put pressure on the Bavarian Army? After all, their performance in Asia Minor during this period of time is definitely not good. What's more serious is that he adjusted the transportation plan of the 3B Railway without authorization." Hindenburg took advantage of the situation and said that he could already feel the Kaiser's caution and restrictions on Ruprecht. Although he had no ill feelings towards Bavaria and the prince himself, as a Prussian, he still had a vigilant and restrictive attitude towards Bavaria.
"Let's forget about it." The Kaiser thought for a moment and decided not to make things too extreme, and at this time, the outside world couldn't let the outside world feel that there was a sharp conflict between Bavaria and Prussia.
"As for the 3B railway? Fuel supply is indeed a problem, but now the navy has very few tasks. Let's cut some from the navy and supplement the army."
Although the Kaiser had very complicated thoughts about Bavaria, he had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion and the prince's own strategic and tactical level were still very high, so he was unwilling to interfere too much with the situation on the front line.
However, just when the Kaiser began to plot against Bavaria, Ruprecht did not keep his eyes on the battlefield. Although this time the offensive of the British and French coalition forces looked fierce, Joffre's performance in going south to kill a Turkish army was indeed commendable. But what does it matter? Anyway, the subsequent battle will not rely on Turkish troops. The prince can be sure that before the British and French coalition forces launch a decisive attack on Ankara, the troops concentrated from the Balkans, the Eastern Front and even Bavaria can reach at least about 200,000. Plus the follow-up troops, the prince believes that even if the British and French coalition forces get together on both fronts, , is definitely not his opponent, not to mention, the other party is still separated!
In fact, at this point, Germany no longer has a real life-and-death battle, the Tsarist government cannot survive this winter, and the Americans are still allies... In this dimension, Germany and Austria-Hungary are far stronger than in history, and their advantage over Britain and France is not shrinking but widening. As long as Ruprecht and the Kaiser are united in their opinions, let’s not talk about destroying France, but There is no problem in signing an alliance under the city. In other words, the Allies are still trying to delay Germany's launch of a general offensive by causing trouble elsewhere. In fact, what if it is delayed again? Before October next year, the war will finally come to an end.
The Kaiser did not send reinforcements in the end, which was expected for the prince. The boss and the second eldest son in an organization are naturally hostile. When external threats gradually weaken, this situation is normal. It is August now. There are still 4 months until the end of the year. In these four months, the prince needs to accomplish 3 major things!
The first thing is, of course, to defeat the British and French forces in Asia Minor, not to say completely destroy them, but at least to push them back to the vicinity of the landing point. It is a bit difficult to drive them to the sea. After all, the Allied fleet cruising in the Mediterranean is not a vegetarian.
The second thing is to make his wife the empress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire changed from a dual system to a centralized government with Austria as the core. Only in this way can the Austro-Hungarian Empire finally get rid of the problem of foreign power and internal interference.
The third thing is to take advantage of Prussia's internal contradictions to weaken Prussia, and ultimately make Bavaria a first-tier country in post-war Germany! The prince is more than 90% sure of succeeding in the first two things. But the last thing is a bit difficult. Will the Social Democratic Party launch a political offensive? How many people in the Prussian Army are die-hard supporters of the Kaiser? All directly determine the success or failure of this matter!
"We must give everyone the illusion that Bavaria is overstretching its power and has no time to take care of the country, and we must also make the Social Democratic Party aware of the contradiction between us and Prussia." The prince said in his heart.
"Moreover, judging from the current situation, the strength of the Bavarian and Bohemian legions is indeed a little smaller!" The prince came to a conclusion after looking at the location and organization information of all his troops marked on the map. Russia is about to fall into civil strife. Unless the prince takes the initiative to launch an offensive, there will be no major war in winter itself, but hundreds of thousands of troops still need to be left to control the vast areas of Ukraine and Belarus.
In Asia Minor, the Bavarian Army also needs at least 200,000 troops to ensure the suppression of the British and French coalition forces. After all, their troops are coming in a steady stream. In addition to front-line combat troops, because it is an overseas operation, the pressure on various logistical supplies will also increase. In this case, additional labor is needed, so based on such calculations, the personnel demand will not be small.
In addition to the Asia Minor front line, the Balkan front line must also leave enough troops. Although the British also transferred the main force to Asia Minor, Ruprecht still has to face Greece, the remaining British army and the Serbian army on the Balkan Peninsula. , without more than 6 figures of troops, the prince felt a little uneasy.
There must also be enough troops left in Austria. After all, Hungary's internal problems have intensified now. Should Hungary surrender and continue to stay in the system of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or should it break out and be blown to pieces by big bombs trapped inside and outside the country? Soon There will be results. In order to ensure the stability of Austria and deter Hungary, the prince believed that he still needed to prepare hundreds of thousands of troops in the surrounding areas. Although the Kaiser requested that the Bavarian Army cannot enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it must pass through from the mainland to the Balkans. As long as the Austrian Emperor is willing, it is possible to station some troops in special periods. But if it really comes to decide the life or death of the Austro-Hungarian Empire , even if you face the danger of falling out with the Kaiser, you must go!
In addition, a large number of troops must be left in the mainland, even more troops than on the front line in Asia Minor. After all, if the Social Democrats cause trouble, it will be a Germany-wide incident, and they are likely to have some weapons. With the German army on the Western Front unable to move lightly, the Bavarian Army must independently assume the important task of "counterinsurgency" when necessary.
"It seems that deep mobilization is needed." In fact, as a family that owns Bavaria, Bohemia and Moravia at the same time, the total population in these territories exceeds 20 million. According to European productivity and military strength, Standard, it is not difficult to directly mobilize more than 1 million troops. Look at France, with a population of only 40 million, it has more than 3 million troops! The prince believes that he still has the potential to continue to fight. Therefore, the Kaiser's idea that he had overstretched Bavarian military power was not actually true!
