The idea of creating a ground combat force independent of the Army was consistent in Jochen's mind. Fearful of the future and distrust of the Junker aristocracy led them to have a military force that could be fully controlled by the emperor. Since the Second German Reich was a federal state composed of German states, the southern states that were incorporated after the Austro-Prussian War had a fairly high degree of autonomy, except for the northern states that were annexed by Prussia after the victory of the Austro-Prussian War. It has its own military, diplomatic, judicial, financial, and other powers. Thus the so-called Imperial armies did not belong to the Second German Reich, but to the states, which were merely at the disposal of the Reich in time of war. And the only army that was truly loyal to the emperor was the army of the kingdom that belonged to the kingdom of Prussia, because the emperor himself was also the king of Prussia. Even so, the officer corps of the Junker nobles was a source of great vigilance for Jochen. Jochen knew that in previous history, the Chief of the Army General Staff Hindenburg and the Quartermaster Ludendorff had teamed up to empty the power of his eldest brother, Wilhelm II, so that the two men could conduct a military and industrial dictatorship in Germany, and they were even able to force the resignation of Imperial officials, and had three times removed the Imperial Chancellor, and had veto power over the appointment of Imperial officials. Such a deformed military government can be regarded as a coup d'état and military management, which Jochen cannot tolerate. He struggled to be able to grasp his own destiny in the damned history, and anyone who wanted to control and control his own destiny must be excluded, so a military force that belonged entirely to the empire and was loyal to the emperor must survive, and the navy was the best choice.

Unlike the Army, which was scattered between the states, the Imperial Navy was a direct force of the Empire from the beginning. Moreover, the development and growth of the imperial navy was entirely supported by the emperor, and it was able to compete with the army for funds. Therefore, the emperor's influence on the navy was nothing compared to that of the army. In addition, Yochen himself is also from the navy, and he has been increasing his prestige in the navy over the years. Jochen thought he could trust this emerging military force. However, warships cannot land after all, so it is extremely important to form a ground combat force belonging to the navy.

"You want to form the Imperial German Marines? Why? In Frederick III's study, Jochen presented his elaborate plan, and His Majesty the Emperor asked this question.

"At present, the Imperial Navy does not have a formed ground combat force, we only have a unit responsible for base security and a unit responsible for the security of warships. And these forces are not suitable for the landing combat mission of rapid intervention of the Navy. ”

The base garrison of the German Navy is subordinate to the regional command of the Navy, which is divided into naval infantry and naval artillery, and is deployed in the interior and periphery of the naval base to serve as garrison duties. The latter is similar to the Army's coastal defense artillery, but on a smaller scale and only in the naval control area, and the shore gun in operation is also derived from the naval gun. In the Battle of Qingdao in World War I, the two battalions of German officers and soldiers who participated in the battle were infantry battalions and artillery battalions under the navy.

The security forces of warships imitate the system from the British, and large warships above the rank of cruisers have a security team in order to prevent the bloodshed at sea in the naval rebellion, so they have a security team, and the security officer who serves as the leader is usually a captain of the Marine Corps, and directly obeys the command of the captain. This is actually the miniaturization of the naval infantry, and the work is similar, as in the case of the British, if it is necessary to disembark and fight and organize a ground detachment (such as the protection of overseas Chinese), the security team is transferred to the Marine Corps. But the number of people in the security group is small, and in fact there is not too high combat effectiveness. For example, the security team on the battleship Bismarck in World War II had only 35 people.

"The base garrison is more of a gendarmerie and janitor than a combat unit, and the small number of security groups on the warships makes it a limited role in actual combat. What I hope is to build a formed force that can go with the navy and arrive with the navy when the imperial colonies are threatened and the safety of the expatriates is not guaranteed. In this way, the Imperial Navy will not only rely on warships to go to the colonies to scare people, but also have the ability to really intervene. The Army and Navy are not under the same umbrella, so relying on the Army for operations may cause problems such as cohesion and command. Therefore, I think it would be better for the Navy to have its own Marine Corps. "And now the security group on the warship is also the army establishment, these people can be gathered and transferred to the navy, and then retrained, those who can pass the test will join the Marine Corps sequence, and those who can't pass the test will let them enter the base garrison to watch the gate." Jochen could not tolerate the presence of Army personnel in the Navy.

"So in order to meet the needs of the Navy's intervention and the mission of protecting overseas Chinese, you have developed such a training plan?" Frederick III shook the plan in his hand with a smile, looked at his son playfully, and then flipped through the plan and said with a slight exaggeration: "Let's take a look at your training plan: proficient in hand-to-hand combat, the standard of physical training and shooting is also very high, and you must also be proficient in armed swimming, and the highest level is to drag two equally heavily armed teammates to swim 100 meters when you can be fully armed, and the instructor will suddenly drag his feet underwater." Wow, that's hard enough. And finally a 3-day, 50-kilometer fully armed off-road with insufficient food? And not only military skills, but also flexibility? And the armament, an infantry company is equipped with 4 machine guns, and this 'Mortel' 4 guns, and your Marine Corps is actually 4 regiments, are you sure you just want to build a force to protect the overseas Chinese? ”

As for the training program of the Marine Corps, Jochen copied the syllabus of the US.MC, the pioneer of the intervention and invasion of the United States, and this standard seemed to be the standard for training the super-elite in 1888. And the firepower configuration at this time is absolutely unprecedented, each company added a fire team to strengthen 4 machine guns and 4 mortars, and according to the standard of 16,600 people in the German Army full division at this time, it is equivalent to a division with 256 infantry companies 48, and according to Jochen's establishment, a marine division will have 256 machine guns, 256 mortars, which is not much in the eyes of later generations, but before World War I, a division in various countries was equipped with only 24 machine guns, even at the end of World War I, The number of machine guns in the German army division is quite staggering when there are only 340 machine guns. However, this is not enough for Jochen, the Mark light machine gun is too heavy, and Jochen's positioning is similar to the general-purpose machine gun that was also positioned as a company-level machine gun after World War II, and after the appearance of the gas light machine gun, Jochen will also deploy the light machine gun to the platoon, after all, at the end of World War I, the British Army division was equipped with 684 machine guns, and the French Army division was equipped with 400 machine guns, and as a lack of heavy firepower, the machine gun is absolutely indispensable. With such a tilt in equipment and training, how could Frederick III really think that this was just a convoy of guards.

"Father is wise." Jochen smiled and said, "Actually, I want to make the Marines a force that can land on the beach, clear the resistance near the landing site, and then facilitate the army's entry into the field." "Yochen can only speak of the Marine Corps as a unit for the Army at this time, lest some guys from the officer corps jump out against it.

"But they were met with resistance when they landed, and the risk of attacking was also great, after all, the army attack did not go well and could retreat, and the Marines had the sea behind their butts, and they had no way to retreat. In addition, they had to consolidate the landing ground after a successful landing, and they did not have the same fire support as the army. Therefore, it is also necessary to strengthen light weapons. Here, the naval guns were deliberately ignored by Jochen, and in the absence of radio, he wanted to call in the naval guns for support, and be careful to blow up his own people.

"And the Marine Corps is not like the Army, which has a large number of baggage and heavy weapons, so the logistics units in the Army have also become combat units, so it has become a 4-regiment system, so the soldiers of the Marine Corps from the general to the gang, everyone can fight with a gun, and everyone is a rifleman." In fact, it is an excuse to strengthen combat capability as much as possible because the size of the Marine Corps should not be too large, so as to avoid the lack of manpower in the army. In fact US.MC as an independent branch of the United States, the vanguard of armed intervention has unlimited scenery. But until the end of the Cold War, the US. MC is all raised by the stepmother, understaffed, equipment with the army does not want obsolete goods, poor insect group with tight funds. It was not until the end of the Cold War that the rise of American interventionism, and the transfer of the navy, land and air force needed to go through Congress, and only the Marine Corps could directly accept the president's orders. And the road to the high wealth and handsomeness of the German marines has to be slow.

"As for the mortar, it is a new infantry suppression weapon developed by HK company, which is light and easy to carry, and can be disassembled, assembled and used by three people. It can fire grenades, and its trajectory is curved, and the firing angle can reach 80 degrees, and it can hit enemies behind cover or in trenches through a high parabola. The best suppression weapon for the Marines, who are unable to carry heavy weapons. ”

"You're still sloppy with me, you've had a lot of twists and turns in your belly since you were a child. You've come up with a plan for more than just the Marines to give the Army a hand, right? Well, I'm not going to dig deeper. The establishment of a division must not be too difficult on the army side. As for weapons and equipment, if they pay for them if they are angry, it will not be too much of a problem. Your mortar, if it really works, the army should like it too, get it out early. Frederick III laughed, although not as deep and far as Jochen thought, but he could still see the value of such an army. At this time, the German Army increased the number of troops in accordance with the mention of Jochen that year, so that the troops were not satisfied with soldiers in peacetime and filled with new recruits in wartime. At this time, the German army had a total strength of 450,000 troops, but it had the number of 38 divisions, which could be quickly expanded to 600,000 in case of wartime. As for the mobilization capacity, it has risen from 1.3 million people in 1874 to 3.2 million now. Therefore, the Navy added a Marine Division, and Jochen's positioning of the Marine Corps as "opening the way for the Army", so it is unlikely that the Army will resist it.

However, the second proposal puzzled Frederick III even more: "And what is the matter with this KSK?" ”

KSK, the full name of Kommando Spezial Kraefte, that is, special forces commando, is a plan for Jochen to further strengthen the weight in his hands. An elite military force capable of stealthy, difficult, and even shady missions. And the training materials that Jochen compiled combined all the special forces training methods that Jochen knew in his previous life. From the later generations of SAS, SEAL, KSK and other top special forces training subjects, beyond the physiological limit of physical squeezing, strict elimination system, inhuman anti-torture training, infiltration, infiltration, ambush, sniping, assault, blasting, wilderness survival and so on. Although in Jochen's opinion, the lack of automatic weapons, parachute drops, and other defects, at this time it is still possible to perform some tasks that others think are difficult to complete.

"Father, the KSK is a combat unit that I want to build that can perform tasks that other units can't. It can be seen as an addition to the Marine Corps. For example, before the landing of the marines, the KSK will infiltrate the landing site to find out the number of enemy defense forces, firepower configuration, and fortifications, and find out the information for the follow-up attack; Or infiltrate local ports and destroy enemy ships and port facilities. Since the chivalry in Europe at this time was not completely dead, the approach of special operations may be denounced as "thieves and cowards" by conservative Juncker officers, in fact, you can guess a thing or two by looking at the attitude of Europeans towards submarines at the beginning, so the combat mission described by Jochen is more similar to the mission of the MEK combat frogmen in Germany in World War II or the American underwater demolition brigade. The Underwater Demolition Brigade is the predecessor of the famous SEAL, and of course Jochen will not let his KSK be just a special engineering unit.

The KSK, which has high hopes, is even more demanding than the Marine Corps, and of course, more expensive. It can be said that every soldier was piled up with gold marks, which surprised Frederick III. Although there was no real idea of special operations in Europe at this time, the small but elite troops were still very valued. After much deliberation, Frederick finally gave KSK a company of staff.

Both proposals were met with guò, much to Jochen's rejoicing. The emergence of the land combat forces and special operations forces directly under the navy has allowed the navy to finally work alone with its own strength in places where the sky is high and the emperor's hands are far away and the army's hands are not long enough.
