The Rise of the Empire

"Your Highness, a letter from General Moltke." Earl Schelling first saluted Prince Leopold and the prince sitting aside, and then sent a letter from Berlin. \u003c/p\u003e "How is the situation?" Prince Leopold asked with concern after seeing the prince put away the letter after reading it. \u003c/p\u003e"How else? The Kaiser is hesitant, Schlieffen is unwilling to add a variable to change his plan, and Tirpitz is unwilling to let the navy's military expenditure be affected. Weapons are also cautious. Little Maoqi can't applaud!" The prince said with a long sigh after handing the letter to Prince Leopold. \u003c/p\u003e"It seems that our road ahead is not smooth." Prince Leopold smiled wryly after roughly reading the contents of the letter. It is no problem to engage in machine guns and rapid-fire guns, because these are generally minor changes to the original military system. The cost is low and the difficulty is high, but if you want to engage in mechanization and armored forces, the difficulty is too great. The area of ​​Bavaria is not even half of Hebei Province. Why can you support such a force? do you have that much money \u003c/p\u003ePrussia will not equip this kind of vehicle, or they would rather do it according to their own wishes than learn your Bavarian advanced combat posture. Not to mention the Austro-Hungarian Empire, how could such a country with two parliaments be willing to spend so much money to buy a bunch of weapons whose prospects were unknown? If only Bavaria equipped itself with this kind of chariot, how much would it cost! Of course, the most important thing is that it is too ineffective to fix this thing by yourself, it is useless! \u003c/p\u003e "You must have a way, right?" Prince Leopold said. \u003c/p\u003e "Uncle, first of all you have to help me convince my grandfather and father. We must at least build a complete armored battalion with 45 tanks! And they are all breakthrough tanks," the prince said. \u003c/p\u003e "Hehe." Prince Leopold smiled slightly. "If you allocate so much funding at once, it may be difficult, and there will be no problem within 3 years. Of course, if you can get more income, then the allocation will be more."\u003c/p\u003e "I would like to, but then I don’t have any money right now!” Even though the prince has a good temper, he feels a little dissatisfied in his heart. Now he can almost say that he has figured out all the ways to make money. Bavaria’s national strength has increased, but it is still far from its goal. a lot of. Especially in terms of funds, if you really encounter a big project, it is really not enough! The prince's plan is to get one for each army first, which will probably require 4 to 5 tank battalions, and then keep 2 spares in his own hands. \u003c/p\u003e"Aren't you going to sell some weapons in the domestic inventory to the Russians? Besides the cost, you should be able to earn a lot of income?" Prince Leopold asked. \u003c/p\u003e"There are some, but not many. After all, we even have 1880 ammunition in our ammunition. It's not clear whether it can be used. Since you want to sell these things, the price can't be high." Prince Said a little depressed. Since it is processing, it must be dealing with bad things, and these things naturally cannot be sold at high prices. \u003c/p\u003e"Then you can't sell some novel and valuable gadgets to the Russians?" Prince Leopold said jokingly. The Prince is 100% sure that Prince Leopold was joking! \u003c/p\u003e"Novel and valuable thing? This one is available! What do you think of our Wasp assault gun? Sell it to the Russians! I just don't know if the Russians can drive them to the front line!" Since everyone is now It's not serious, so let's have a joke together. The prince sneered. \u003c/p\u003e"Do you think the Russians will want this thing?" Prince Leopold took out a picture from the envelope, which was the armored vehicle designed by Krupp in a few days.

Little Maoqi also revealed to the prince the idea and some equipment of the Prussian armored forces in his heart. \u003c/p\u003e"That's it? I don't even want it for me. It can only block machine gun bullets, so I can use it now. It's okay against infantry, and it's barely enough to be a reconnaissance unit, but if you want to break through the opponent's Trench, it's impossible." The prince sneered mercilessly. \u003c/p\u003e"Even if it is my design, I will use the half-track vehicle site, so that both speed and off-road performance can be taken into account, and the tonnage is higher, and the prospects for upgrading and improvement will be greater." Bavaria is engaged in automobile transportation, and is also They are engaged in all kinds of tracked vehicles, and at the same time they are still engaged in half-tracked vehicles. Before the emergence of n*n-driven vehicles in later generations, half-tracked vehicles better balanced off-road, speed and fuel consumption, so they were very popular until World War II. Naturally, the prince will not forget this vehicle. \u003c/p\u003e "Wait, what do you think will happen if we build a half-track armored vehicle for the Russians?" The prince said with a bright eye. "We have ready-made sites, and they are all designed on the basis of heavy-duty vehicles. If they are converted to military use, they are just a few steel plates and some weapons. Anyway, they are used to deal with the Japanese in the Far East. We don't need too advanced things." \u003c/p\u003e"You don't really plan to sell armored vehicles to the Russians, do you?" Prince Leopold lowered the teacup in his hand and said with a little surprise. "Are you crazy about money? Our future enemy is the Russians, but now we are helping them master advanced technology and tactics!"\u003c/p\u003e "What is this? Even the current Hornets What is an assault gun? I can say responsibly that the weight of 18 tons can't be beaten at all. We still need to improve the performance and increase the weight. And with the industrial level of the Russians, even if it is not complicated in our opinion They still can’t make things right. There are many things that you can’t equip just because you think they’re good, one needs technical and industrial support, and the other needs money, but unfortunately, Russia doesn’t meet any of the conditions!” said the prince. \u003c/p\u003eThe current Russia is not the Soviet Union of later generations. Even if you are given a complete set of drawings for T-26, can you make it? (Well, Germany can't do it now.) Can you afford it? The prince has too many good things in his head, but how much can Germany equip now? Therefore, the prince is not worried at all about the threat Russia will pose to Germany after being equipped with these tanks. \u003c/p\u003e"And we must use some means to make those Prussians realize the power of our weapons. Only in this way will they be willing to spend money to buy them. Everything we do is for this country. The action is also possible, and the Kaiser can't blame us, after all, Krupp is also receiving orders from the Russians." The prince said. \u003c/p\u003e"But you may not be able to use the equipment well. You also need to assign some instructors to the Russians! If possible, it is also possible to use the Russians to experiment with our tactics." Prince Leopold Seeing that the prince has already made a decision, it's hard to say anything, just a reminder. \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~!
