"I need to consider the establishment of the Pomichi-Moravian Legion. In addition to providing us with infantry, this area can also provide us with other important materials and combat power. I am not as good as you in terms of mobilization system and combat preparations, but I still have some ideas in terms of technology and equipment." Ruprecht said.

There is only one consensus between the two of them so far, that is, this unit can be used to fight soybeans, and some of them can form elite troops to fight with the Bavarian Legion. However, in the eyes of the prince, if the future Czech Legion is used like this, it would be a bit too wasteful! I really think Ruprecht spent so much effort to find a group of unreliable cannon fodder who are ready to make a fuss at any time? Do you underestimate the level of the Time Traveler?

"We can even reduce the size of the Czech Legion when necessary, but one thing must be done well, that is, we must establish a complete military-level and army-level firepower system! To establish such a system, we must rely on the Czechs." Ruprecht said.

"Is the firepower system at the military level or above? Then this may be a bit troublesome." Prince Leopold frowned slightly. This matter is difficult and difficult for the prince! Because before that, there was no firepower system at the military level or above. It is not that there were no siege guns and overheaval artillery in this era. In fact, since the emergence of artillery, there have been overheaval artillery. For faraway things, such as Kurban cannons, Tsar cannons, and the recent ones, such as the 280mm heavy howitzer attacked the Lushun Fortress in the Russo-Japanese War, as well as various coastal defense cannons, etc.

However, having does not mean that there is a complete system. These super-specified heavy artillery are actually more of the guest appearances of various artillery, or are temporarily customized to conquer specific targets. This is even the case when the German Army started World War 1. Although Germany has the Big Belsha 420mm heavy artillery. However, these things are only used to capture the Scarlet Sun Fortress. After blowing up the fortress, it is finished. The German Legion's systemic firepower configuration at the beginning of the First World War was actually at the level of the army, mainly at the division level. The division will have 150mm heavy howitzers, and the army is almost the upper limit. Occasionally, there will be some 210mm heavy howitzers.

Although this plane has greatly improved its army logistics transportation system due to the crossing, it is subject to the restrictions of the times and the requirements of strategy and tactics. Overall, the German legion's army-level firepower improvement is still limited. For example, in the improved plan of Moltke to attack France, in addition to the heavy artillery troops used to deal with the fortresses in Belgium, the strongest artillery of the army-level are 150mm long-range cannons and 210mm heavy howitzers. The Fourth and Fifth Army in the inner ring will have some 210mm train tickets or 254mm train cannons, and in addition, it is really gone.

There is no way, after all, heavy artillery above 150mm cannons can weigh more than ten tons or even dozens of tons. In this era, it is difficult to tow the half-track truck as a whole! It is really difficult to keep up with the rapid advancement troops and then cross more than 300 kilometers to enter the French battlefield and the French pk. This is really a bit great. In Little Moltke's plan, these heavy equipment was only used after the stalemate war after the failure of the raid on France, so there was no more at the beginning.

But the Bavarian army is different. These heavy artillery must be used at the beginning. They will fight in the Russian Polish region in the first year of the war. This region is at the gate of the German country, and the place is not large, only 128,000 square kilometers. Since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Russia has actually established this area as a battlefield and a starting position. Although it has not become a big fortress due to national strength issues, there are definitely many nails in it. In other words, at the beginning, Rupresit's legion must have strong offensive capabilities.

This attack ability is obviously not good enough to use 210mm level artillery, so the prince's legion needs 12-inch siege cannons and 12-inch train cannons. If necessary, they may also get 15-inch train cannons! Where do these cannons come from? In theory, they can be purchased from Krupp, but the price and output obviously cannot satisfy the prince. Bavaria actually does not have the ability to produce large artillery. All artillery named Bavaria were actually first developed and produced by Skoda!

If you want to ask, in addition to technical issues, a very important issue is the issue of output and profit margin. At the beginning, the prince wanted to make money for the Kingdom of Bavaria, and they did things that were either those that could not be done by others and could play their monopoly advantages. Or they were not technically difficult, but the demand was relatively large, and they could play their cost advantages in the later stage. The former represented by hardened armor, while the latter represented by 75mm rapid-fire guns. For others, you must buy the former, while for many people, the latter cost, but the cost of Bavaria was much lower than that of Krupp, and the Russians. It may be a big difference to buy a few doors. If you even go to the front door if you go to a few hundred doors, the gap will be big!

But heavy artillery, especially naval guns, are different. The technology of this thing is more difficult to develop. For example, 3-inch rapid-fire guns can be produced in a decent country around the world. Not long after the French 75-speed guns were produced, a bunch of similar products from Germany, Russia and even Japan were released. Although there were differences in performance, they were all rapid-fire guns. However, large-caliber artillery and even naval guns were different. Before the end of World War 1, Europe, there were only four companies that were sure to be able to produce more than 12-inch heavy artillery, Armstrong, Schneider, Krupp and Skoda. Russia did not have 14-inch heavy artillery independently developed, and Andorsha did not.

The demand for heavy artillery is not large, and it is not very valuable. A queen's 15-inch l42 naval gun is only 30,000 pounds. The real expensive one is the turret system. So under the guidance of money, Bavaria threw the design and construction of the heavy artillery body to Skoda, and made a relatively profitable turret system...

Now, guarding Skoda, a famous heavy artillery manufacturer in history, the prince will naturally give full play to his advantages. It is unnecessary for the Czechs to produce heavy artillery and then insist on letting the Germans operate them all. Therefore, under the combined effect of external demand and internal capabilities, Rupresit is preparing to establish a firepower system of military level or above from the beginning.

"I started to establish this system two years ago, but because of its small scale, it was not included in the Bavarian military system. However, by now, this army and the heavy artillery unit of the army-level army have begun to take shape. We now have 12 companies of 210mm heavy self-propelled cannons, (4 guns per company), that is, 48. We have 4 m1907 12-inch l18 heavy engineering howitzer company, with a total of 16 12-inch siege cannons."

"In addition, I also plan to build a 12-inch train gun force, and plan to build 12 12-inch train guns, and the artillery will use our current naval guns. These train guns will form 6 independent artillery companies and allocate them to the army for use. I estimate that the company's logistics and various other personnel will take about 16,000 people."

"In fact, considering that we will have some independent 150mm cannons and 210mm medium howitzer companies, this scale may be expanded, as well as the 12-inch train cannons, or even 15-inch train cannons that may be added in the future. The personnel demand is still very terrifying. Therefore, in order to ensure the needs of these high-tech troops, I think we can appropriately reduce infantry units and tilt the Czech human resources in this regard." Rupresit said.

"If there are these troops, we may need to increase the scale and organization of railway troops. The train guns must use railway maneuvers, so in order to reach the battlefield, we may establish new railways or narrow-gauge railways. Although 210mm self-propelled long-range artillery can use tracked grounds, railways must also be used for long-distance transportation. The 10 companies of railway troops we originally prepared may not be enough." Prince Leopold added.

In history, in order to attack France, the Germans prepared 90 railway companies, with a total of 26,000 people working hard to build roads. However, it was not enough. According to the current scale of the Bavarian-Bohemian Legion, although they were fighting at their doorsteps and did not require long-distance attacks, considering that their troops were nearly 600,000, it was indeed difficult for 10 railway companies to ensure the transportation of a large amount of logistics supplies and heavy equipment.

"Well, then we will increase the number of some railway troops. In the future Bavarian-Bohemian legion system, the first-line elite forces and assault forces and the air force will be dominated by the Kingdom of Bavaria, auxiliary legions, heavy artillery units above the army, and logistics units will be dominated by the Czechs. Our future military framework can be completely designed according to this standard." Finally, Rupresit concluded.

With the efforts of Rupresit and Prince Leopold, the Bavarian Legion finally completed the pre-war construction plan. At the same time, the Allies were not idle. Although the German government was trying hard to cover up its military attempts, a large amount of capital flowed. The large-scale expansion of the army and the appearance of various strange weapons in the sight of the spies will eventually lead to the Allies' vigilance, especially with the equipment of some new heavy weapons, the Allies also paid twelve minutes to expand their military preparations for the Allies. Under the influence of a series of butterfly effects, the Allies also began to expand their military preparations quickly!
