"His Majesty the Emperor is very annoyed by the Italians' betrayal, but due to the current international situation and domestic environment, it is not convenient for us to take strong actions on the bright side. After all, Germany is the core of the allied system and directly suppressed the influence of internal members. Very bad." This time, the personnel sent by the German central government were of very high standards, and the well-known little Mao Qi came to Bavaria in person.

"However, we must not ignore this kind of betrayal. The Empire will take all indirect confrontation methods to help our allies who are about to join the alliance and punish this restless Apennine country by the way. And the arrival of General Scheer and I, It is to cooperate with the Bavarian royal family to do this." Xiao Maoqi said.

"It is impossible to accomplish this by relying solely on the Bavarian royal family. We are too weak. And the most important thing is that our materials cannot be sent to Libya. Libya is a French colony to the west and the British to the east. The vassal country of Egypt. Once a war begins, the sea channel will be easily controlled by the Italian fleet. Tell me, how to fight this battle?" The prince asked rhetorically.

"You don't need to worry about the issue of materials and costs. The imperial government is responsible for this matter. What we need are professional and reliable combatants, such as your Blue Legion." Xiao Maoqi said dismissively.

"Hoarding supplies in advance? How long do you think these supplies can be supported?" The prince smiled bitterly.

"According to our intelligence, there are 25,000 Turks in this area, but only 8,000 are in the regular army. The others are nomadic cavalry of the tribe. We will give the latter some equipment, but not much. The real supply is 8,000. Turkish troops, we directly load ships in the Adriatic coastal ports, and we can transport 2,000 tons of various materials at a time. It is not a problem to support the Turks for three months to six months." Xiao Mao said after thinking about it.

"Half a year, too little. What if the Italians plan to fight for one year?" the prince asked. Historically, both Italy and the Ottoman Empire were persistent with Libya. Both sides have been fighting in this area for more than a year. time. Italy finally mobilized as many as 100,000 troops. The navy also bombarded Turkish ports including Beirut. Aircraft, battleships, and armored vehicles were all used with new weapons. While Turkey was carrying the Balkan Alliance in the Balkans, it was also It took 1 year in Italy!

"The Italians have the support of Britain and France, so they are not short of money. Think about their obsession with Ethiopia. We must be prepared to fight a long-term battle, at least one year. Who can tell me, such a long time? In time, how can the army in Africa continue to support it?"

"Material transportation is a threshold that cannot be bypassed, and we are dealing with the Italians at the door of Italy this time. Who knows how many troops they will send in the end? 50,000 or 100,000? How many troops do we need to send to fight a similar game? The Dewar-scale battle made the Italians completely give up?" The prince's series of questions made the two of you realize for the first time that the problem is very difficult, yes, what is the bottom line of the Italians? And is Germany willing to pay so much for Turkey?

"Two, before we continue to discuss this issue, I hope that the Kaiser’s full authorization can be obtained, as we did with the Portuguese and French last time. Our opponents this time are not stronger than the last time. But I need support. !" said the prince.

"I will contact Berlin immediately. I believe the order will be delivered soon. The central government will give your Highness a clear answer within three days at most," said Xiao Maoqi.

"Then I will wait for the good news." The prince finished, motioning for Earl Schelling to see him off.

Now the prince can be sure that the Kaiser wants to clean up this disobedient little brother, his attitude is very resolute, it can be said that he can take all actions except for the face and hands. But some things in this world are not something you can do what you want to do. I have to say that the war in Libya is very unfavorable for Turkey. A lonely overseas colony without a navy, how do you let the Turkish government fight?

There are only two methods for the Italians to stop. The first method is to directly fight a war of annihilation larger than Adwa, and make the Italians realize that conquest is impossible, or in other words, through a long-term war of attrition. The guerrilla warfare made the Italians feel that the gain was not worth the gain.

Unfortunately, these two things are not easy to do. Don't look down on Ethiopia. At the beginning, people gathered 100,000 troops, including 25,000 kings' guards trained by European instructors. Let's not talk about the combat effectiveness, but at least know how to fight. Then 108,000 people surrounded Italy’s 17,000 army and achieved such a big victory. In Libya, where can you find the 100,000 army?

It is subtraction on my own side, but addition on the Italian side. In history, Italy was able to deploy and support a total of less than 20,000 troops in the distant East Africa at that time~www.novelhall.com~ But this time, it was fighting at people’s doorstep. In history, 100,000 troops were sent. Even if the Italians are softer. How could you hit such a huge heavy army group? And people can still get the protection of naval guns in coastal ports... How can a unit dominated by nomadic cavalry attack a coastal stronghold protected by naval guns?

The prince was very confused and confused. For the Italians, Britain and France helped to pay for the war. Don’t go to the end. The Kaiser said that he would not play anymore. Should Bavaria continue to fight or not? Money and everything are small things, the key is that thousands of elite Bavarian veterans can't just stop like this!

"I will be your king in the future. You will be loyal to me, and I will give you glory and a prosperous life." The prince has never forgotten the vow he made to these loyal veterans when the Blue Army was just established and went to the Far East. .

As a traverser, Bavaria is able to work hard with a group of like-minded people today, whether it is Prince Leopold, Schmidt, Earl Schelling, or a job change from Krupp, who belonged to the Bavarian system from the beginning. The armor technicians who followed him, or "international friends" like Vittorio, they were all comrades of the prince. They have given their loyalty and blood and sweat, and the prince must make them live better, at least not as a guest!

The prince felt that this matter was really difficult, and the benefits did not seem to be much. So he also began to hesitate as to whether he would take this matter.
