The Rise of the Empire

"However, all this is not enough. Times are changing, and the glory of the Franco-Prussian War will be difficult to reproduce. Although we are stronger than ever, and the French are far behind us, we will not be able to achieve it again like the Franco-Prussian War Victory. This is determined by the general environment, do you understand what I mean?" The prince swept Britain, France and Russia with the putter in his hand. \u003c/p\u003e"Do you still miss the external environment in the era of Prime Minister Bismarck? I can understand your feelings, but I want to say that Germany is in a different position. The growth of its power will stimulate the German nation to seek a higher status And more interests, in the time of Bismarck, we were the first-class powerhouse in the European continent, but now, both the Kaiser and the people want us to become the strongest in the European continent. We are the destroyers of the old world, and The new world will be established according to our intentions, and of course, this process will be full of blood and fire, just like when Germany was unified." Little Maoqi said. \u003c/p\u003e"I can understand, but it doesn't mean I agree! Well, in other words, since we have decided to create a new European continent, we must at least make adequate preparations, and now, I have to say In my opinion, all the preparations for war in Germany are far from enough. A person who covets other people's things but is unwilling to pay enough to make a sharp knife is not even a qualified robber. You say yes Isn't that so?" The prince's words were very sharp, which was equivalent to slapping the entire Prussian General Staff in the face! But it's a private meeting, so it doesn't matter. \u003c/p\u003e"I have seen many of your plans, whether it is Earl Schlieffen's or yours, all plans are set to end the war within 3 months, and if the plan for a quick fix fails, we will How to do it, but rarely involved, can I understand that this is a big gamble? A gamble of success or failure? The gamble is the national destiny of the German Empire. What did you see? Is it a child's play?" The prince said angrily. \u003c/p\u003eAfter the initial attack was finally blocked by the French, Moltke said "We lost the war" when he met the Kaiser. Germany does not make a case for a perfect backup plan. \u003c/p\u003eIt is true that both Germany and the Allies believed that the war would end soon. But the key issue is that Britain, France and Russia have sufficient capital to make mistakes, but Germany does not! Germany is not well prepared in terms of material reserves or overall military strategy, especially the navy. When Tierdisk asked what we would do if the British did not play a near-shore blockade. Isn't it a joke that no one in the Navy can answer this question? \u003c/p\u003e"Want to win the war, but didn't make a good plan, and didn't make a sufficient response. A country with ambition and strength, but unwilling to pay enough. Whether it is World War I or World War II This way!" This is what the prince said about Germany. \u003c/p\u003e"To be honest, I really haven't considered what will happen if the war lasts for more than one year? It is impossible for Germany to have the ability to completely defeat the two enemies at the same time. Let alone the French, a single Russia is enough for us It's a headache, Russia is too vast. Although I don't want to admit it, I still insist that if the Western Front cannot be settled quickly, or if one side cannot be forced to withdraw from the war in a short period of time, then we have no chance." Xiao Maoqi calmly Said. \u003c/p\u003e"If you think like this once the war starts, then I can only say that we are not far from failure." The prince sighed and continued: "Once we go to war with the French, whether it is Britain or Russia Don't stand idly by, I think you know that very well,

Because when France regained its strength, your uncle wanted to launch a preventive war to prevent France from rising again, but both Britain and Russia expressed opposition. This means that once we go to war with France again, we will face three major powers, and it is impossible to make a quick decision. The British can reach France as long as they cross the strait, and we have to go through a ground distance of at least 400 kilometers to do it. You know who is faster and who is slower at this speed, right? "\u003c/p\u003e"The French have never given up their revenge on us. They said that the age of conscription has been lowered by 2 years. In this way, the number of licensed people can be increased by 40%. Under the unified deployment of China, perhaps relying on our huge population advantage, we can still have more troops than France. But this time, it is impossible for us to win France in World War I like decades ago, because we have the magic weapon-railway, artillery, general staff, the French have it all! Maybe they haven't learned enough, but there is no essential difference, and if the British are added, I really can't think of where is our chance for a quick victory! "The prince said.\u003c/p\u003e"But you have been making efforts in this area. The Bavarian-designed tanks, armored vehicles, a large number of machine guns and artillery, and the use of cars instead of horse-drawn carriages to improve the army's logistics supply level, all of which are not all Is it to strengthen the German military for our purposes? Is there no hope for us even if we build an army according to everything you have said? "Xiao Maoqi said with some surprise.\u003c/p\u003e"Do as I say? Hehe, I have never thought about it this way. What I want to do can be achieved 70% in Bavaria and 30% in Germany. It is not bad. Your Excellency has served in the German Army for many years, and how many things have you accomplished? Our physique is very problematic, but it cannot be changed. Mr. Bismarck has spent decades sorting out the relationship between various aspects, but he still cannot do his best. What's more, people nowadays? Of course, I must now thank Bavaria for its independence, otherwise I would most likely have achieved nothing. "The prince said bluntly.\u003c/p\u003eThe various relationships within Germany are too complicated, there are a lot of feudal remnants, there are also a lot of capitalists, and there are various local forces. It is not that Bismarck is incompetent, but that Germany is really too chaotic. , How can a country that has been divided for hundreds of years complete changes in more than ten years? To be honest, the greatest contribution of the Weimar Republic to Germany was the establishment of a unified and powerful central government, which is historic Progress, but it is unacceptable to the prince....No way, the ass decides the head!\u003c/p\u003eThanks to the book friend First Guards Tank Brigade, book friend 121115, slow travel k, Bismarck in the ice sea , The sea is bounded\u003c/a\u003e~~~!
