Chapter 1900 How to End the War Three
That's $1.5 billion. Interest-free loan! This is a very precious resource for Germany, which suffered serious losses during the war. Therefore, Ruprecht did not say that the Grand Duke of Baden and others are also seriously considering this matter. After all, they want to occupy French territory Unlikely, when it comes to colonies, the French colonies are tasteless, and the British are chicken legs. Considering the strength of the French Army in World War I, under the influence of various factors, Germany may eventually choose to open up to the French.
After considering this, Ruprecht finalized the final strategy, which is to launch a wave of diversionary attacks on land, but completely defeat the British at sea! And there is an additional advantage of choosing to shoot the British to death, that is, if there is another restricted naval arms conference after the war. The German Navy hopes to squeeze the British out, and then have the same fleet tonnage as the United States!
That's right, just like the Americans, Germany after a major war has no ability, and there is no need to play a naval arms race with the Americans, as long as it can obtain equal naval status. Besides, in the next ten years, the most direct opponents of the U.S. Navy will still be the British and Japanese, and Germany will just keep developing!
"If Your Highness is confident enough, then I think His Majesty will agree to your request. You will become the commander-in-chief of the German Army on the Western Front and at the same time command the High Seas Fleet. If necessary, you can be transferred at the right time." The Mackensen Legion." The Grand Duke of Baden said, after all, Ruprecht has never been defeated since the start of the war, and his status is detached, so it is a good choice for him to take charge of the military.
"We will do our best to restore production and transportation, and provide sufficient equipment and supplies to the soldiers on the front line. Reserve soldiers can also be added, as long as you can guarantee fair treatment to the once-neutral rear reserve forces." Balter said. Since the civil strife in Prussia, it has been more than a month in the parliamentary control area that there has been no additional troops and labor to the front line. But now, if the supply of materials and personnel can be restored, then everything will be more stable.
In the end, Ruprecht agreed that all parties would fulfill their obligations three days after today's meeting, hand over the command of the army to Ruprecht, and at the same time resume the transfer of domestic armaments and personnel as much as possible. As for when Ruprecht will go to the Western Front, that is the prince's own problem.
"If possible, I hope that the diversion attack on the front line can be launched now, especially the air force. We need to consume the combat power of the Royal Air Force as much as possible. Last time, our air campaign seriously weakened the opponent and forced the British The fleet originally assigned to the navy was transferred to France, but this is not enough, we need to launch a more aggressive offensive, and this offensive will reach its peak after the Bavarian Army is in place and I personally arrive in Brussels!" said the prince.
In fact, the war has reached such a level that French industry is already on the verge of collapse. As the weakest of the three powers on the Western Front, the large number of armored units that appeared on this plane increased the pressure on the defense of the French. The French had to use their not-so-abundant industrial resources to produce tanks and a large number of war defenses. Cannons, and the massive losses in the Balkan battlefields and the Turkish battlefields made the French armaments even worse.
In fact, in the middle and late stages of the Turkish War, it was difficult for the French Air Force to perform tasks independently, and now 80% of the aircraft performing tasks in the air on the Western Front belong to the British! Even though the aviation industry of the British is unique in the world in history, in this plane, it has reached the point where it can’t make ends meet. Even if there is a wave of life from the navy fleet, when the Prussian and Bavarian air forces are fully suppressed, the Western Front The UK fleet is also in rapid decline.
There are various reasons for this decline. In addition to the tragic war consumption, the use of British industrial resources to supplement army losses and fleet losses is also an important reason.
But it's not enough now! The aircraft owned by the British Navy may still have a huge impact on future naval battles, so the Prince needs to launch a continuous offensive to further consume the British Air Force and the British national power, making them think that Germany will end the war through a ground attack, Thus more resources are spent on the French battlefield, rather than on the navy and naval aviation.
And when the number of naval aviation units belonging to the Royal Navy drops to a certain level, Ruprecht will personally lead the main force of the High Seas Fleet, which has been dormant for more than half a year, to fight. This time, the German Navy will carry 5 aircraft carriers, more than 380 aircraft carriers of each This kind of carrier-based aircraft launched the first three-dimensional offensive in the history of world naval warfare! At the same time, the Navy's land-based air force will also perform reconnaissance and attack missions. This is destined to be the most magnificent naval battle in human history.
In order to enable his plan to be implemented smoothly, Ruprecht also sent a telegram to Scheer and others in Kiel while positively containing the British and French allied forces, clearly stating that he would return to the High Seas Fleet at an appropriate time , commanded the fleet to start a decisive battle with the British, so that Scheer was ready. At the same time, he told Scheer that the domestic situation has eased, and that the naval units that originally performed the gendarmerie mission need to return to the fleet immediately to intensify training. The submarine force also needs to recover part of it from the open sea. Increase the number of submarines operating in the North Sea, together with the expeditionary reconnaissance fleet, step up the collection of information on the British fleet and land-based aviation.
As for the supply of the navy and the training of the Bavarian Air Force assigned to the navy, we must pay close attention to it. Before the final battle, all aircraft must be overhauled again. At the same time, the prince said that he will assign another batch to the navy within two weeks Two-engine and even four-engine long-range aircraft are used to supplement the strength of the naval air force.
Of course, for the sake of secrecy, various battle preparations are needed, but the fact that Ruprecht will return to the navy must be kept secret. The best result is that before the fleet launches the final battle, the British do not know the prince Back to the Navy!
Subsequently, after discussing several details, Bavaria, the Kaiser and the parliament finally reached an agreement on the final military arrangements before the end of the war. Basically, it can be summarized that Prince Ruprecht is solely responsible for military issues, and Germany The Emperor and the Parliament faction provide logistics and other things. At the same time, at the end of this question, the Grand Duke of Baden and Barth promised that after the war, Bavaria could share no less than 30% of the colonial income!
