The Rise of the Empire

The arrival of Little Moltke can be seen as a test of the Kaiser's new military reform led by Bavaria. If the effect is really as good as the prince said, then the German central government will seriously consider these things, and in return, In the future, Bavaria will be injected with a larger establishment, financial and policy support, and some conveniences for exercising other things (for example, the prince will be in charge of fighting against Russia on the Eastern Front.) If it fails, the disappointed Kaiser will be very disappointed. It is possible to terminate all changes. After all, some of Bavaria's actions are already on the sidelines. If the Kaiser does not support it, the prince's plan will face great resistance. \u003c/p\u003eSo this time, the prince must let little Mao Qi see hope. And told the Kaiser behind him that the benefits of following him in the future are great! But at the same time, they can't see everything. After all, some things are still very immature, such as airplanes. And as an independent military service, if Prussia brings it under its jurisdiction prematurely, the size of Bavaria's air force will definitely be affected. \u003c/p\u003e"If everything is done according to your design, you are almost certain that you can quickly solve France on the Western Front." What the prince didn't expect was that before dealing with Moltke, his uncle first proposed A very targeted question is whether this new set of ideas can allow Germany to win the war cleanly. \u003c/p\u003e"Difficult, very difficult." The prince thought for a while and said. Germany in World War 2 easily killed France, which is known as the world's number one army, and this success shocked the world. Although the prince is also engaged in tanks and aircraft, the core idea is completely different from the blitzkrieg of the German Army during World War II in history. If the German armored forces in World War II were a sharp sword, they quickly divided the opponent's defense line under the cover of the air force, and then developed as deep as possible. If the goal is to eat the opponent's heavy army, then in this plane, the prince's armored force is actually more like a mill, crushing the opponent bit by bit. \u003c/p\u003e "It turns out that the tactical thinking you told me is very advanced. The armored forces and cavalry continue to penetrate, and the fragmented opponents are handed over to the infantry group in the rear. The continuous assaults make the opponents have no chance to rebuild the defense line. I I have thought about it myself, and organized several deduction. I feel that this is the only way we can quickly solve the Western Front. If we can solve France, all our problems will be solved, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we have solved the European problem. " said the prince with some disappointment. But still did not give up. \u003c/p\u003e"Do you really think that a few hundred tanks can defeat a powerful army? What kind of international joke are you making?" the prince smiled wryly. Even if the Germans can make up 1,000 so-called various tanks against the sky, so what? Even if Germany opens up again, get a golden finger, so what if hundreds of thousands of vehicles of various types are produced to transport fuel? Blitzkrieg was Germany's big move to kill France in World War 2, but if you think that the victory of Blitzkrieg can only be won by tanks, it is a big mistake! \u003c/p\u003eLook at the lineup of the Germans when they went to war in history. Before the war against France, Germany had only 10 armored divisions, and most of these 10 armored divisions were No. 1 and No. 2. tank. All these tanks add up to no more than 2,500 vehicles. Both in terms of quantity and quality are worse. At the same time, the total number of tanks of the British and French armies was about 2,700, including the b1 tank and the Matilda tank, which were difficult for German tanks to deal with. It is true that the Germans have tactical and theoretical advantages, but it is really a dream to rely on 10 armored divisions and 7 mechanized infantry divisions to drive straight in! \u003c/p\u003eIn fact, the reason why the German Army was able to break through quickly was largely due to the help of the Luftwaffe. In April 1940, the Luftwaffe already had 1,620 fighter jets and 419 dive bombers.

1726 bombers, 46 ground attack aircraft, 671 reconnaissance aircraft, plus 466 transport aircraft...  Every move of the French can hardly escape the aerial reconnaissance of the Germans, and under the indiscriminate bombing and crazy attacks of more than 3,000 various aircrafts on a small area every day, how can the French organize an effective defense? \u003c/p\u003eAt the same time, the French Air Force had only 1,648 combat aircraft, of which 946 were fighter jets and only 216 bombers.... Not to mention the quality, the French also have the latest d520 that can compete with the bf109, but there is quite a difference in quantity. Of course, the Royal Air Force had a large number of aircraft, but considering the tragic range of the Spitfire at that time, basically only the aircraft stationed in France could barely use it. At the same time, there were only 1,800 aircraft of all types in the Royal Air Force. The number is about the same as the number of German bombers.... \u003c/p\u003eThat is to say, relying on the help of the German Air Force, more than 600 reconnaissance planes can clearly grasp the opponent's dynamics, more than 1,000 fighter jets can firmly suppress the opponent's air force, and nearly 2,000 various bombers and attack planes The machine can easily remove all the obtrusive things on the road, on the ground, and in the bunker. It is precisely because of the absolute air superiority that the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 of the 10 divisions in Germany can easily The long drive goes straight. These Eagles of the Third Reich soaring in the sky have already provided the required fire support and fire cover for the armored forces. In this case, the second battle can be fought like this, but the first battle is absolutely not possible. \u003c/p\u003e(To clarify, this is the amount of aircraft owned by both parties, not necessarily the amount directly used by the first line. After all, the author cannot use the aircraft of the British and French, and find out those aircraft that are useless.. ....)\u003c/p\u003eHow can there be no strong enough air force to disrupt the deployment of Britain and France? Without a strong enough air force, how can hundreds of tanks face 1,000 companies of 75 fast guns? Without enough air force, those fortresses can only be piled up with heavy artillery. The movement and erection of each siege gun takes time. Look at the time when the German army was advancing triumphantly in World War 2, when the air force was not dominant? But in World War 1, the Air Force failed at the beginning. It was not something that could be solved by paying money, but that the technology tree was too difficult to climb! In the early days of World War I, the air force had not yet become a weapon that could seriously affect the balance of war, at least not on the Western Front, where there were many technical equipment and extremely dense troops. \u003c/p\u003eIt is still not possible to open two hangs, so if the current situation is followed, the possibility of success is even smaller. First of all, it is unknown how many tanks the Prussian Army can equip before the war. Secondly, how many trucks the Prussian Legion can equip under the resistance of the Junker nobles is another unknown. The prince can't control Prussia, he can only control himself. To put it bluntly, if the prince is really in charge of the Eastern Front, it is enough for Prussia to have a historical performance on the Western Front. After the Eastern Front is finished, it is ready to seek peace. … \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~! Ask for a subscription\u003c/a\u003e~~~! ! ! \u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e
