Moltke's arrival can be seen as a test of the Kaiser's new military revolution led by Bavaria, and if the results are really as good as the prince said, then the German central government will seriously consider these things, and in return, Bavaria will receive an injection of greater organizational, financial and policy support in the future, as well as some other things (such as the prince's responsibility for the war against Russia on the eastern front). Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info) And if it fails, then the disappointed Kaiser is likely to put an end to all changes. After all, some of Bavaria's practices are already playing on the sidelines, and if the Kaiser does not support it, the prince's plan will face very great resistance.

So this time, the prince must let little Moltke see hope. And tell the Kaiser behind him that the benefits of following him in the future are great! But at the same time, they can't see everything, after all, some things are still very immature, such as airplanes. And as an independent service, if Prussia brought it under its jurisdiction too early, the size of Bavaria's air force would have suffered.

"If everything is done according to your design, you are almost certain that you can quickly solve France on the Western Front." To the prince's surprise, before dealing with Moltke, his uncle first raised a very pertinent question, that is, whether this new way of thinking would enable Germany to win the war cleanly.

"It's hard, it's very hard." The prince thought for a moment and said. Germany in World War II easily killed France, known as the world's first army, and this success shocked the world. Although the prince is also engaged in tanks and airplanes, the core idea is completely different from the blitzkrieg of the German Army in World War 2 in history. If the German armored forces in World War 2 were a sharp sword, they quickly divided the opponent's defense line under the cover of the air force, and then developed as deep as possible. If the goal is to eat the opponent's heavy army cluster, then in this plane, the prince's armored troops are actually more like a grinding plate, crushing the opponent little by little.

"It turns out that the tactical thinking you told me is very advanced, the armored forces and cavalry are constantly penetrating, handing over the fragmented opponent to the infantry group in the rear. I have considered it myself, and I have organized several deductions, and I feel that this is the only way to quickly solve the Western Front, and if we can solve France, we will solve all our problems, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we have solved the problems of Europe. The prince said with some disappointment. But I still didn't give up.

"Do you really think that a few hundred tanks can defeat an army power? What international jokes? The prince smiled wryly. And even if the Germans were able to come up with 1000 so-called tanks of all kinds? Even if Germany opens up again, what if it gets a golden finger and makes more than 100,000 cars of various kinds to transport fuel? The blitzkrieg was the big move of Germany to kill France in World War 2, but it would be a big mistake to think that the victory in the blitzkrieg could be won by relying only on tanks!

Take a look at the lineup of the Germans at the beginning of the war in history, before Germany fought against France, it only had a total of 10 armored divisions, and most of these 10 armored divisions were small bean tanks such as No. 1 and No. 2. All of these tanks together are no more than 2,500 units. Both in terms of quantity and quality, it is a little worse. At the same time, the British and French armies had a total of about 2,700 tanks, including the B1 tank and the Matilda tank, which were difficult for German tanks to deal with. The Germans certainly had a tactical superiority, but it was a dream to rely on 10 armored divisions and 7 mechanized infantry divisions to drive straight in!

In fact, the German Army's rapid breakthrough was largely due to the help of the Luftwaffe, which by April 1940 had 1,620 fighters, 419 dive bombers, 1,726 bombers, 46 ground attack aircraft, 671 reconnaissance aircraft, and 466 transport aircraft....... It is difficult for the French to escape the aerial reconnaissance of the Germans, and under the frenzied attacks of more than 3,000 planes of all kinds on a small area every day, how can the French organize an effective defense?

During the same period, the French Air Force had only 1,648 combat aircraft, including 946 fighters and 21......6 bombers. Not to mention the quality, the French also have the recent D520 that can compete with the BF109, which is quite a cut short in quantity. Of course, there were a lot of RAF aircraft, but considering the range of the Spitfire at that time, basically the planes stationed in France could barely be used, and the total number of RAF aircraft in the same period was only 1,800. Quantitatively about ...... the number of bombers of the Germans.

That is to say, relying on the help of the Luftwaffe, more than 600 reconnaissance planes can clearly grasp the opponent's dynamics, more than 1,000 fighters can steadily suppress the opponent's air force, and nearly 2,000 bombers and attack planes of various kinds can easily remove all the obstructive things on the road, on the position, and in the bunkers. These eagles of the Third Reich soaring in the sky already provided the armored forces with the required fire support and fire shelter. In this case, the 2nd battle can be fought like this, but the 1st battle is absolutely not.

(To clarify, this is the number of aircraft owned by both sides, not necessarily the amount of direct use on the first line, after all, the author can't use the planes of the British and the French, and find ......out that those planes are useless.) ）

How can the deployment of Britain and France be disrupted without a sufficiently strong air force? How to put hundreds of tanks against 1000 fast guns of 75 companies without a sufficiently powerful air force? There was not enough air force, and those fortresses could only be piled up little by little with heavy artillery. And the movement and erection of each siege gun takes time. Look at the time when the German Army was advancing in World War 2, which time was not the air force superior? And in World War 1, the Air Force started to work, it was not something that could be solved by giving money, but the technology tree was too difficult to climb! The Air Force at the beginning of World War 1 had not yet become a weapon that could seriously affect the balance of war, at least not on the Western Front, which had a large number of technical equipment and a great density of troops.

If it is not possible to open two hangs, then according to the current situation, the probability of success is even smaller, first of all, it is unknown how many tanks the Prussian regiment can equip before the start of the war. Secondly, it is another unknown how many trucks the Prussian regiment could equip in the face of resistance from the Junker aristocracy. The prince can't control Prussia, he can only manage himself, to put it mildly, if the prince is really in charge of the Eastern Front, Prussia on the Western Front can have a historical performance, and when the Eastern Front is finished, he is ready to sue for peace.......
