The Rise of the Empire

Of course, in addition to the concentration of logistics vehicles, armored forces also need to be concentrated. Ruprecht carefully studied the Battle of Cambrai. The prince found that although there were many concentrated armored battalions, the attack points were too scattered. One armored battalion was responsible. One position, five armored battalions fight five places, what is the difference between this TM and one armored battalion fight one place? It’s a ghost if you can break through, so. In order to ensure breakthroughs, higher-level armored units must also be established, such as independent tank brigades and tank divisions.

   Breaking the boundaries of the group army is also for the purpose of centralizing technical equipment. It is the same as trucks. The Bavarian Army can easily take out 10 armored battalions. If they are not enough, they can throw 5 more. You asked Kruger to try out ten armored battalions? If selling pants can be exchanged, Kruger will definitely be the first to sell it. Not only will he sell it, but the other army bosses will definitely sell it too!

Therefore, from the institutional point of view, the future battles of each group army will not depend on how each army fights, but two or even three group forces attacking an enemy army, narrowing the attack surface, concentrating troops to open the gap, and then rushing in. Gang fight...

"In order to ensure the success of our battle, we must do at least the following in terms of armaments. First, the number of armored units must be more than 1,800! The Bavarian Army can provide 500 Hufeng assault guns and cricket tanks. You guys find a way."

   "1800? This is the number of 46 armored battalions, how can we have it?" Kruger said first. He really couldn't think of how to get so many armored units together.

"It should be possible with 30 days of preparation time. We now have 1,200 armored units in the 7 armies on the front line, which is 25 armored battalions. These battalions are basically complete, or fully supplemented, and can be put into battle at any time. After the Bavarian Army came over, It is 1700. If we reduce the intensity of the battle, it will be possible to wait until next month for the troops supported by the rear to go to 2000." Ludendorff is worthy of being responsible for arms production in history, and he has a clear understanding of these things.

"That's good, this problem is solved. For the next problem, we probably need 1,000 fighters and 1,500 bombers and attack aircraft. In this regard, the Bavarian Army can provide 600. The rest depends on the Western Front." There seemed to be many, but in fact it was just like that. When the First World War came to 1917, Germany had about 4,000 aircraft on the western front... Of course, as the beginning of the war, this number is still quite high, but unlike tanks, this is not the minimum requirement, and a smaller number can do.

"I'm afraid this number is a bit difficult. The number of fighters is 800. It is okay to just make up enough. But bombers, especially your country's K-4 bombers, are really difficult. If you calculate it in one month, If we don’t count the Bavarian Air Force, we can make up 700 at most." Little Mochi is compatible with the Air Force commander, so he is most familiar with the Air Force.

   "Fight, if time can't be delayed, the size of the air force can also make do, but 700 is the bottom line, we can make up 300 bombers in Bavaria, and Prussia has no reason not to make 700." The prince said with a serious face. The words of the prince embarrassed everyone present.

   "Our military production does have a problem." The Kaiser couldn't help but said to the little Mao Qi next to him. "Krupp and Rheinmetall have disappointed me too much. Tell them that we will be in charge of the military when necessary."

   "But, do we need to use so many planes?" Hindenburg asked, who had been silent.

"Without an airplane, how do you deal with the long-range artillery positions in the depths of the opponent? How to suppress the French reinforcements? And don't underestimate the British and French air forces. If I guess right, the German air force has suffered a lot during this time. It is said that 200 pilots have been injured or killed." The prince said.

  In this plane, a series of butterfly effects made the prince somewhat unexpected. The British and French air forces were also much stronger than in history under the stimulation of Germany, but they did not form a complete system. There are not many famous fighters in history. But even so, the British and French air forces still put a lot of pressure on Germany. Although Germany has an advantage in terms of exchange ratio, don't forget that from the perspective of aircraft alone, France can be compared with Germany. .... If according to the historical production capacity of the aircraft of both sides, even if the exchange ratio is 1:2, the Luftwaffe is the result of being replaced....

  The air force’s requirements for technology and personnel surpass almost all other arms. These two points are indispensable. Without a good aircraft, it is the result of being slaughtered. If there is a good aircraft without a good pilot, the result remains the same. So the prince’s idea is that the future battle on the Western Front is not only a ground offensive, but also an abnormal aerial strangulation! Delay the formation of the superiority of the British and French air forces.

   "This we can only guarantee to do our best." Little Maoqi could not guarantee the prince.

"Well, I have finished talking about the needs of the armored forces and the air force. As for the artillery, I think everyone is expert and can do it by themselves. You can make arrangements by yourself~www.NovelMTL.com~Of course, I still I hope that when circumstances permit, our train guns will be deployed immediately. Ordinary land guns are too difficult to counter train guns."

Needless to say about the artillery, on the one hand, because the German artillery in World War I was really good, on the other hand, the two sides have not yet formed a situation of trench warfare, static defense, especially the static defense after reinforcement is very few, so the artillery breakthrough The requirements are not high, if it comes to the battle of Verdun, it will almost be the rhythm that the artillery can't beat...

"In addition to meeting the most basic equipment and supplies, the troops also need to be reorganized. The armoured battalions in the past seem to be insufficient now. We need to expand the armoured troops to continuously break through the opponent's defensive positions, and Respond to the opponent's armored counterattack, and focus the attack on one spot as much as possible."

"In order to achieve this goal, I think we should merge the current five armored battalions into one armored division. The armored division has two regiments, each with about 100 tanks and assault guns. At the same time, there is another regiment. The mechanized infantry is responsible for follow-up."

   "Change the system in a hurry will cause problems." Xiao Maoqi said worriedly.

"We have 40 days to prepare. There will be problems with the reorganization, but if we don’t change, then our chances are very small. How do you choose?" If you don’t change, you won’t win. At least there is a chance if you change. select.
