In peacetime, if you want to accomplish something, you must get the approval of the German Emperor. Why are machine guns popularized so quickly in the German army? The fundamental reason is that the German Emperor attaches great importance to machine guns, and even pays out his own pocket to equip machine guns to six guard regiments? All of them have made statements. Can the German General Staff not do as they do? Besides, if the German Emperor did not like the navy, could the high seas fleet appear...

The development speed of the German Air Force was actually quite good. It was not small at the beginning of the World War, but it was very conservative to use. The reason was that a small group of people including Little Moltke in the entire German army recognized it, and within the German army, he regarded it as a fairly appropriate appendix of the current war. This was barely achieved by Little Moltke when he was the Chief of Staff of the Prussian General Staff.

And this time, if you want to popularize chariots in the Prussian army, the scope of the incident is too large! Not to mention anything else, money alone is a problem! The prince said in the letter that it would take nearly 500,000 pounds to build an armored battalion equipped with 45 hornet assault guns. But very detailedly, for a Prussian army scale, if it is assigned to each army of one armored battalion, it would be at least 4 million pounds! (About 16 armies, after all, some armies are called the German XX army, but they are actually subordinate to Saxony and Württemberg.) This huge capital expenditure is not something that Moltch could make.

If the money issue can be discussed, then the changes in personnel and systems will be even greater. Although it is called a battalion, the scale of this battalion is really not small, with at least 1,200 to 1,500 people. The front-line officers and soldiers alone need to build these 16 battalions. In addition, related training, support, and logistics units need more people. Moreover, with Prussia, Bavaria can naturally establish itself. So should Saxony and Württemberg also be established? What should I do with the personnel issues?

What made Moltke feel most nervous was that once such a unit was added, the current Chief of Staff Schriefen's plan would be invalidated again! The Count, who looked at the train schedule and sand table, calculated everything based on mathematical principles. For example, each car was equipped with 40 soldiers and 8 horses, and walked far every hour, and the time for each train to add water and coal at the station was stipulated! With such a pile of iron lumps, the original mobilization and combat plan could only be invalidated. Schriefen was naturally unwilling to let his plan go to waste!

Although there were many difficulties, Moltke still tried his best to realize this plan that seemed to be related to the future of the German army. From the perspective of conscientiousness, he did a good job. He wrote special reports to the German Emperor and the German Chief of Staff Schriefen to state all this. He also used his relationship in the army to discuss the issue of the Prussian army equipped with new chariots.

"I didn't expect Ruprecht to create a new toy. He actually convinced Moltke. It's such an annoying thing. Do you think it's, Mr. Krupp?" The German emperor threw the documents in his hand to Gustav Krupp, the contemporary head of Krupp who was sitting aside.

"This prince is indeed a bit unique in terms of military and technology." Gustav did not confirm what the German emperor was about. Although he had a lot of opinions about the prince, he knew that Bavaria's current status in Germany could not be shaken. If he said something bad about it, once it was spread, God knows how the prince would retaliate against him! If Gustav remembers correctly, the authorization certificate for the new mortar will expire this year, and the new formality has not been issued yet...

"Well, since it was asked by Ruprecht and Moltke, then let's hold a meeting to talk about this issue. I, Schriefen, Moltke, and you, call Tirpitz too. Add Markenson! He is a cavalry commander and will have some research on mobile combat." The German Emperor said calmly.

"Why are you asking Tirpitts to come here? This is obviously a blow to the little Moltke." Judging from the personnel arrangements of the German Emperor, Gustav Krupp knew the end of this matter. Tirpitt doesn't understand the army, but the German military expenditure is limited. For the sake of large-scale construction, Tirpitt will inevitably compete with the army for military expenditure. Isn't this meeting here to come here? Isn't it planned to blow the little Moltke? If Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria is here, there will be a turning point in this matter, but now... I can only laugh.

"But mechanized forces is indeed a new concept. If implemented, it means more orders!" Gustav suddenly realized that the idea of ​​the mechanized army advocated by the Bavarian prince and Moltke was actually a good opportunity, an opportunity to make a fortune! After all, the Prussian army still relies on the weapons provided by Krupp, and the annual artillery and shells are not enough. If the Prussian army decides to establish a mechanized team, even if it is not the heavy armored troops advocated by my prince, even if it is just some armored vehicles, then considering the huge base of the Prussian army, this is a lot of income!

"Actually, we can let Bavaria conduct a pilot on its own first. In the document, the prince said it too, and it will take several years to improve it. If that's the case, why don't we see how they did it first? Then decide our own?" Gustav Krupp said carefully.

"This is a good idea. Let Ruprecht try it first, and we will do it when it is mature. However, some things need to be prepared early. The armored car you asked me to see last time is good. You can come up with a more detailed plan." The German Emperor thought for a while and said.

"Do you know? I have a group of people around me. Now it seems that I have formed a very bad habit. Once the person in the south takes out something, we always involuntarily want to imitate him. This feeling makes me very uncomfortable. I don't want the Prussian army to follow the prince's footsteps. Even if there are changes and changes, I hope that we will be the ones who dominate, not passively." The German Emperor said meaningfully.

"Do you think the German Emperor will accept our plan?" Just as Moltke was running around for the service of a new chariot, Ruprecht and Prince Leopold, who were far away in Bavaria, were also discussing this matter.

"It's not that easy. The Prussian army was commanded by the German Emperor, but it was not the German Emperor's army. The Junker nobles were not willing to give other forces the opportunity to intervene. In order to ensure their monopoly position in the army, they were even unwilling to expand their army!"
