The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 505： Little Moqi's Arrival
Because Xiao Moqi came to Bavaria as a private person, it is naturally difficult for officials to do receptions. Neither the prince nor Prince Leopold went personally. As for Ludwig III? It is even more impossible, if in history, William II came to Bavaria, this one may not personally meet... Not to mention Xiao Maoqi.
But even if the official did not go out, the Bavarian side gave the future Prussian chief of staff very high specifications. The armored vehicles opened the way and the fleet of eight cars swaggered through the market was enough to give him face.
"If possible, I hope to be with the frontline garrison. The Kaiser and I are very interested in the new equipment and are willing to promote it." On the car, Xiao Moqi said to Schmidt, who was in charge of greeting.
"As you wish, we will arrange you to the Iron Castle training ground in Bavaria, where you can communicate with our participating troops in any form." Schmidt replied. "But before that, you need to go to the Munich Palace to meet with His Royal Highness Prince Rupresit, who will arrange your specific itinerary."
"Whatever you want," Xiao Maoqi nodded and said. And this time, Xiao Moqi also has many questions that the prince needs to answer in person. For example, until now, Xiao Moqi has been wondering why the prince has been sparing no effort to advance the expansion of Bavaria. If Bavaria wants to rebel, it is Impossible, even if the Bavarian forces doubled, it would still not be able to beat Prussia. Then the only explanation is that the prince has a considerable sense of crisis, yes, it is a sense of crisis, distrust of German military power!
Little Mochi didn’t know why His Royal Highness Ruprecht was like this. You must know that since the French-Prussian War, Germany cleanly killed France, the first European army power at the time, the German army has become the world’s largest army. According to Bismarck, the Prime Minister of the Empire at the time, Germany’s military power is sufficient to deal with any powerful country, and the German national security system based on the Three Emperors Alliance is sufficient to deal with any military alliance. At that time Germany was the center of world diplomacy! but now.......
Little Mochi is not as confident in his own power as most Germans. He has discovered the deep crisis. Once Russia fails in the Far East, he will definitely turn his attention to Europe and receive financial assistance from Britain and France. In the future, Russia's national strength will surely recover quickly, and it is even possible to reach a higher level. Germany will face the dilemma of fighting on the two fronts, facing resistance against Britain and France in the west, and resistance against Russia in the east.
Maoqi knows how many catties there are in Germany, so although he does not support Schrieffen's plan, he still agrees to fight France first and negotiate with Russia after defeating France. No matter how weak Russia is, little Maoqi and others have thought of killing Russia, because this country is terrible. Although he is very backward and conservative, but the vast territory almost gives Russia the capital to bring down any empire, and the huge population base also gives Russia an unimaginable mobilization potential.
According to a more exaggerated statement, as long as the Russians keep retreating, it is enough to defeat any opponent. You must know that even if Napoleon the Great, who sits on the whole of Europe, was still defeated after he captured Moscow? The 600,000 army eventually only 50,000 people returned to their hometown... Everyone believes that unless Russia has its own problems, it is very difficult for Russia to be defeated by the outside!
Although the situation is very bad, Xiao Moqi still believes that Germany will win because he is very confident in the speed of mobilization of German troops. The German General Staff has evaluated the speed of mobilization in Russia. They believe that it will take Russia at least 4 months to complete the assembly of troops. , And if Germany can’t level the western line in three months, it’s a bit too fast. Xiaomoqi believes that six weeks after the war will be the key to victory or defeat. Using the railway line, Germany will first hit or annihilate France. , And then immediately transferred troops to the Eastern Front to deal with the Russians who had just assembled.
And don’t forget that the Germans still have allies. From the point of view of Xiao Moqi, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not good, it’s okay to block the first wave of Russian attacks, right? Judging from the war in the Far East, is the Russian combat power average? The Austro-Hungarian army in a defensive state should probably be almost fine...
Russia is so difficult and easy to defeat in the perception of high-level Germans. Even if Mauqi and others realize that Russia will become Germany's enemy in the future, they can still only regard it as a target that can be negotiated rather than destroyed. The Kaiser and Prince Ruprecht used various means to weaken Russia, hoping that Russia will always focus on the Far East, and the longer the war against Japan, the better, and the greater the consumption, the better.
But these practices still treat the symptoms rather than the root cause in Xiao Maoqi's view. In a bad situation, Russia may have internal unrest, but this unrest is only partial, and once external funds are injected, the internal unrest will be subdued.
"Actually, if I say it according to my intentions, Prince Ruprecht is more suitable to enter the German General Staff. He has a good grasp of strategy and the overall situation~www.novelhall.com~ and some military ideas are also very advanced." In the car, Xiao Maoqi said to Major General Schmidt.
"Hehe, the prince's character is a bit tough. He himself once said that he doesn't like entering a place where solving problems requires several meetings." Major General Schmidt said euphemistically.
"That's right, now that there is no war, there are more troubles. The environment is different after all." Major General Schmidt slapped haha. It's over. In the morning of the next day, Xiao Moqi got his wish and met Prince Ruprecht. After a short greeting, the attendants placed large-scale maps and a huge European sand table in suitable locations. Then, the prince retired. The others started talking to Xiao Maoqi about business.
"Now, only a few people can realize that Germany has reached a critical moment. They are still immersed in the victory over France that year, but ignore the changes in the war situation and environment. And when they realize this , I am afraid that the fate of failure has come, I hope you are not such a person." This is the first time that the prince hall has used a polite speech to Xiao Maoqi. This is not only to satisfy the vanity of the other party, but also to reveal the news that the prince regards him as a truly reliable partner.
"So, you are trying to change everything? From the very beginning of rapid-fire guns and machine guns, you have been working hard to improve the level of German military equipment, just to cope with the upcoming decisive battle? On behalf of the German military, I thank you for your work. Work hard." Xiao Maoqi said respectfully.
