The Rise of the Empire

Some people may have said, couldn't the Kaiser find someone from the Prussian army? From a military point of view, it is indeed possible, but the Kaiser is currently undergoing military reforms. If things go well, it is tantamount to telling the world that the current situation of the German army is very good and there is no need to change it. The pressure for reform will inevitably be great. So after much deliberation, the Kaiser finally found the prince. \u003c/p\u003eThe prince is very clear about the Kaiser's small calculations, and the prince is willing to help no matter from a public or private point of view, but the premise is that you don't deliberately dig a hole for me and wait for me to jump, right? Is this the way to treat a friend? You can ask me to help! But you have to give me full responsibility! I don't have the right to take this responsibility, so the prince doesn't plan to back down in the slightest on this issue. \u003c/p\u003e "Rupprecht, our relationship has always been good. I hope you can play a greater role in the future German military and political system." The Kaiser's words were already a bit harsh. \u003c/p\u003e"Okay, is the empire short of that budget, or is it short of troops and equipment? None!" The prince waved his hand and said, "If everything is left to me, I am willing to take all the responsibilities, but you must also give me Enough support, you are still afraid, worried that this operation will cause suppression by other countries, so limit the size of the troops."\u003c/p\u003e "But in this world, only when the other party is afraid, they will avoid conflicts and blindly hesitate. What's more, all the disputes between us and France are on the African continent, and in Africa, we are originally weak, if we can't prepare with all our strength, why should the French submit?" said the prince\u003c/p\u003eGermany does not recruit It is inevitable for people to be popular, this is the case in history, and it is still the case in this plane, or most of the rising countries are not popular. The same is true for the United States. Although the Americans helped the British win World War I, if the United States really has many friends, it will be isolated! Just imagine, who were the allies of the United States before World War I? Think again, the United States' withdrawal from the League of Nations after World War I all shows that the United States is not very popular. \u003c/p\u003eThis situation can hardly be changed, or the change is of little significance. With the performance of the Germans in history, as long as the Americans are neutral and do not participate in the war, what if Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Portugal unite? The so-called catch the big and let go of the small, as long as you can handle the Americans, you can do whatever you like, anyway, I am not afraid of you! \u003c/p\u003eSo the prince will never back down from France, a country that is destined to be an enemy, when faced with the issue of determining how much benefit Germany can get. First, I can beat you. Second, I will fight again Concession Everyone is still an enemy, why should I give in? \u003c/p\u003e "What do you want? Ask your conditions!" The Kaiser thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e"The navy has 1 Kaiser-class battleship, 3 Mainz-class armored cruisers, 4 protected cruisers and at least 12 armed civilian ships. All warships must carry radio communication equipment, and at least 12 armed civilian ships must There are 6 ships that have been improved into minesweeping ships. The rest are used for transportation and supply tasks. And I must have the right to recruit imperial civilian ships."\u003c/p\u003e"In addition, I am responsible for the foreign policy of the whole thing, before I admit defeat , I hope to get the full support of the Kaiser. In addition, the number of troops we deploy in Angola must be at least 9,000. In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to provide 2,000 of them. But military expenses require central support." The prince said. \u003c/p\u003e"You are going to leave 30% of the power of the Imperial Navy. 1 Kaiser-class battleship, 1 Mainz-class armored cruiser, 2 Munich-class armored cruiser, this is the limit, I must guarantee The fleet left by the mainland is enough to deter the French."\u003c/p\u003e "I agree with your opinion on the army,

In terms of politics, I can't give you any endorsement, but I will try my best to support your opinions. It is impossible for me to help you regardless of the opposition of the ruling and opposition parties. You better do it yourself. "The Kaiser said with a serious face.\u003c/p\u003e"Then it's settled. "The prince thought about it in his mind, and the result was acceptable. The navy's request was to ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the spot. In a short period of time, all the warships owned by the German navy are only 2 Brandenburg-class battleships and 3 Kaiser. Class battleships, as well as 3 armored cruisers of the Mainz class and 2 armored cruisers of the Munich class. The Kaiser is very worthy of the prince for being able to produce 4 main forces.\u003c/p\u003eThe prince is most concerned about the number of troops, 9000 The elite German army is nearly 80% larger than before. If you consider the Marine Corps in the fleet, it is not impossible to gather 10,000 people. Excluding the 2,000 people contributed by Bavaria, the Kaiser also increased the army by 60%, which is also interesting. Yes.\u003c/p\u003e As for political support, since the Kaiser has agreed in principle to let him take full responsibility, he will not give up halfway because of a little difficulty. Political influence. So the Kaiser’s words of support as much as possible still have gold content. Of course, the premise is that the prince doesn’t mess up everything.\u003c/p\u003e “You have been waiting for this day for a long time, tell me about your arrangements. "The Kaiser asked.\u003c/p\u003e "For the navy, I suggest that Earl Spey be the commander-in-chief of the German Fleet in Africa, and Hipper be the chief of staff. As for the army, I suggest that Earl Schlieffen be responsible for the coordination of domestic military forces. Prince Leopold is responsible for the overall deployment of the African frontline. In terms of diplomacy, I am personally in charge. "The prince said.\u003c/p\u003e"Hehe, okay, at this time, I will start to learn how to arrange my own people. "The Kaiser was a little upset, but it's not a good thing. This personnel arrangement is still in the past. Earl Spey is experienced and has reached his status. He can naturally serve as the commander of the fleet. Hipper has military exploits anyway, and belongs to the ability. It’s okay to be the chief of staff.\u003c/p\u003eAlthough the prince arranged for his uncle to be on the front line, he has enough seniority. He shed blood for the empire during the Franco-Prussian War. (Okay, Prussia The fight with Prussia during the Austrian War was exposed.) It’s okay to be the front-line commander. After all, even the little Maoqi may not be better than the prince. Then Ran Schlieffen is in charge of the overall situation, which is naturally because of where Schlieffen is. As the chief of staff, who is not responsible for you?\u003c/p\u003e "What are you going to do diplomatically? "The emperor continued to ask.\u003c/p\u003e"It's very simple. We just need to inform the Austro-Hungarian Empire and let them give us diplomatic support. At the same time, we can win over the Americans and let them provide help according to the agreement at the time. In the end, we only need to notify the powers to designate these two colonies as war zones. The Russian side will probably understand our actions, and the British will protest verbally, but the possibility of taking the next step is unlikely. As for the French, I can't tell. "\u003c/p\u003e "So why not tell the Italians? We are also allies with Italy. "The Kaiser frowned slightly and said.\u003c/p\u003e"Because I can't trust these capricious guys! "Prince's answer is very simple!\u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friends bighill1982, slowly traveling k, classmates who are in love\u003c/a\u003e~~~, and book friends Xiaodao Leng, stealing free, ice618, zsuzm, Moran Shiye's\u003c/a\u003e support~~~, please subscribe\u003c/a\u003e~~~!\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
