The Rise of the Empire

So if you insist on saying that it is not enough, there is only one possibility: Germany will fight! Fight a big battle! Ruprecht was taken aback by his own inference! "It seems that history has been changed too much by me!" His Royal Highness completely figured it out in an instant. He at least knows that his efforts for so many years have finally received certain results!

  The German Emperor is now scared! From some time on, he was no longer the arrogant man who said without shame, "You will return to your hometown in the fall" when he saw off the troops. He no longer hopes to end with a quick fight. This war is over! He began to see it as a crisis sufficient to overthrow the German Empire, and he began to seriously consider the prolonged war and how to fight it.

  Someone may ask, isn’t the time 2 years ahead of schedule? It is not easy to be able to advance two years, because now the Kaiser has realized that if a certain limit is exceeded, time is on the side of the Allies. With the reconciliation of Britain and France, the defense strategies of the two countries will be adjusted to the allies. The Russian government needs time to recover from the failure of 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 his upper limit of force, and the Austria-Hungary Empire? Well, their political system determines that their preparations for war are so-so. If the growth of military expenditures, army growth, and equipment replacement are the slowest before the war, Austria-Hungary is second to none... Don't look down on Russia. Russia's naval expenditure in 1913 was actually close to Germany! With such a weak ally and an anti-boned boy, Germany is enough to bear it.

  Of course, at the beginning, the German power was still increasing faster than the Allies, so don’t talk about Russia. After the war, the Russian government did nothing to resolve internal contradictions and troubles in the past few years. Needless to say, the French have been preparing for a war of revenge since the Franco-Prussian War. And the British? Now that the Boer War is not over, they need to solve the problem of South Africa in order to manage Europe. As for why Germany is not doing it now, because Germany itself is not ready. In the first Moroccan crisis in 1910 in history, Germany was Didn't dare to do it, let alone now...

However, the Kaiser knew that the war must be launched before Russia was on the right track, or in the early stages of being on the right track, and it must be launched when the strength of its own side was greatly increased and the relative gap between the two sides was the largest. It means that in 1912, in less than 8 years in the future, the German navy and army must make all the preparations, and then give the opponent a fatal blow before the opponent has completed combat preparations!

"Hehe, I finally took the initiative." After understanding this problem, I thought helplessly. It seems that the inertia of history is huge. After passing through this era, I will not escape this battle after all. After the end of the First World War, it was Huali. It has been in the last few years since the dragon was still knocked down to earth. Fortunately, the German 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 battleships. 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. The Russians will no longer buy a large amount of equipment from Germany, which is already a potential enemy, and Germany will not sell it casually, but has begun to expand military production and drive. The following industries will not stop because of this.

  So in order to maintain the current production capacity and vitality, someone must take over, and this taker can only be the government! And the government bought these new artillery and machine guns for use, otherwise, why do they put them in the warehouse? It won’t take long to fall behind again. In His Highness’s opinion, because of Germany’s military expansion and war preparations, the Bavarian military industry, which has been gradually stalled, has directly added a fire to keep the entire military industry system running efficiently. So that Germany can maintain its best state when it enters the war.

  It is good for the German Emperor to have this meaning, but it is far from the requirements of war. According to His Highness's estimation, why this war will last for more than 3 years? 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 against Britain and France. No matter how long it takes, the attitude of the Americans may change over time.

In order to cope with this protracted national war, Germany also needs to establish a relatively complete national reserve system, and use this time to consolidate the passage with Turkey, and help Turkey develop agriculture to achieve food self-sufficiency within the Allies. The latter’s requirements are even higher than the former. After all, there is food in hand, and I don’t panic in my heart. The Austro-Hungarian Empire can guarantee self-sufficiency during the war. It is certainly not guaranteed by Germany, whether it is a good year or a bad year.

Turkey has real potential. 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~www.NovelMTL.com~ The key is Turkey. There are only 30 million people, which is only half of Germany's. They are fully capable of being a food exporter, as long as the farming is better and the road traffic can be kept smooth.

Therefore, if there is time, the prince will have to talk to the Kaiser, in addition to the Eastern and Western Fronts, Germany must also pay attention to the Balkans, and even now it is necessary to preserve Turkey’s territory in the Balkans, such as the Balkan Wars. In this way, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Turkey can use the existing 3B railway connection to form a supply system within the Allies!

   Then figure out how to do some tricks on the British North Sea blockade. It is impossible for the British capital ships to patrol and blockade the northern end of the North Sea all day, so don't do anything else. Even armored cruisers are not good, most of them are auxiliary cruisers, not very powerful, that is to say, there is room for hands and feet. Well, your Highness has an idea.

But before that, he needs to let Tirpitz fully accept his strategic and tactical thinking. For this, he also called General von Boll. After all, he is the commander of the High Seas Fleet, as long as Liao Le is Tied up. The Big Three of the Navy called two, and the remaining one is not very good. But the prince also let someone pass the message, meaning that you just listen. We are not discussing personnel issues this time...

  The German Emperor This is the rhythm that obviously wants to hand over the navy's major policies. At this time, Liao Le won't come out of self-discipline, right?
