As for whether it has become an independent air force? The prince has this plan, but if an independent air force is established, it will definitely lead to a competition between the air force and the naval aviation for aircraft. To be extreme, there will even be insufficient aircraft in the German Navy and the British Navy in history. In fact, from a historical perspective, as long as there are independent air forces among the major powers in World War II, the naval aviation will not be very good. This has nothing to do with the strength of the air force, it is completely the blame for the system. If the naval aviation force is too weak, it will obviously be unfavorable to the future development of the navy. You can imagine how painful it is to have a world-class navy with not enough carrier-based aircraft! And this time Ruprecht promised to ensure that the navy's aircraft are equipped, and what he said must be counted!

As for why we need to establish a strategic bomber unit that belongs to the country? This is indeed a need for the country. If the Second World War is to break out in the future, a powerful strategic bomber unit will be very useful for both the British and the Russians. For Britain, it can carry out aviation blockade and bombing, and for Russia? It can attack the target of the red giant in depth. Don’t worry about losses. The high altitude of the Russian plane may be comparable to Japan, so there is no need to worry about losses. Such a strategic bomber unit will naturally have to be concentrated and used, so the authority holds only the country!

"I don't know much about politics, so I won't talk about it for now. But for military purposes, will it make the German military system too dispersed and powerless? Prince Leopold asked.

"This is certain to be dispersed, but in the next ten years, no one can threaten the German Empire. To put it bluntly, give the new Bavarian Kingdom ten years to fight the French army! And even if the army of the Free State and the Prussians are even worse than that, it is okay to deal with the British. The real threat may come from Russia that will rise again in the future. But by then, we have already readjusted the military system." Ruprecht said without any mind.

"And, no matter how the army is divided, in fact, there are only two parts that really control the army. Prussia may be divided, but the noble officers' group will still form a whole, which is determined by hundreds of years of inheritance and blood relationship. It will not collapse because of the national boundary line within an empire, and the other part is naturally Bavaria. When it really needs to be fought, we will just negotiate with the officers' group." The crown prince explained.

This is the so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse. Where is the overall combat effectiveness and size of the German army? After the end of World War I, no single country could challenge Germany's hegemony in the continental region. The developed Bavaria could beat the French or the British army. Not to mention other countries within Germany and the new Austrian empire! Before the rise of the red giant, Germany was quite safe, and after the rise of the Soviet Union, it would be 20 years later. There is time to integrate the complete military power!

"What you said makes sense. If this is the case, I will be relieved. However, you have given a very high evaluation of the future Russia. They are stronger than France?" Prince Leopold said with interest.

"If we just talk about the army, they will be stronger than the combined armies of Britain and France 20 years later. They will become the second largest continental army power after the German Empire." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"Is it so exaggerated?" the prince frowned and said.

"This is not an exaggeration, but a reasonable prediction based on reality." The prince said.

"Maybe I can't wait for that time, but I believe in you. By then, you can defeat them again!" said Prince Leopold.

"The matter between Prussia and Bavaria has been handled, so what about other countries? Do you have any plans? And our newly added territory, how should this be divided?" asked Prince Leopold.

"I still think that larger states, such as Württemberg, Saxony, and the Grand Duchy of Baden, should receive some new territory as a bonus for war, either Eastern Europe or colonies obtained from Africa. After all, they have paid the price and great efforts for this war, which is completely unreasonable if they don't give them. We must make everyone who contributes to Germany reward, rather than just talking or pretending."

"Even if some countries that are too small do not have the will to gain new territory, we should lead the establishment of a foundation to solve the problems of their soldiers' dismissal and livelihoods," the prince added.

"This will be a big project, and we may need a lot of funds." Prince Leopold said.

"It doesn't matter. After the war, the Americans will continue to give us money. Maybe the Japanese will also cut a piece of meat for us." The prince said with a smile.

After this great change, the situation of the three strong forces will be formed within the German Empire, but this does not mean that other small states have no effect. Although the German Empire lacks a strong core of power in politics, Ruprecht will never allow the imperial people to lack centripetal cohesion! To achieve this goal, it is necessary to eliminate the barriers between various places and use interests, ideas and patriotism to unite the people. Therefore, in this case, the welfare of each state and the interests of the people must be paid attention to.

"The new territory on the Eastern Front may be complicated to deal with. This is not something we can decide, or even a meeting within the empire. After all, this time a large number of Poles, Baltic coastal population, Russians and Ukrainians will be integrated into the empire in large quantities. In addition to directly incorporating part of the empire into the original state system, there will definitely be some places to establish new states or provinces. The status arrangement of these provinces will be a big problem. I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to handle it within 2 to 3 years after the war is over. So I need more time to think about this issue." Ruprecht said.

"Poles, you chose to suppress. So what should you do with Ukrainians and Russians?" asked Prince Leopold.

"The Ukrainians are actually not very nationally conscious. To be honest, Ukraine does not have the social foundation of the national independence movement now. Their so-called independent leaders are more anarchists. Moreover, I also gave them half of Ukraine, and some parts of the Transcaucasus. If they are willing to go to the newly established country, then go. As for the Russians? Some of them will be absorbed by the new Ukraine, while the other people who stay in our country, I believe that after seeing the Red Soviet Union, they will make a choice." The prince said.

"As for the population along the Baltic Sea? That's something William II needs to consider, it has nothing to do with us," Ruprecht added.

"Since you have already thought about it, then do it, and I should do my business well," said Prince Leopold with a smile.
