Chapter 658: Bavaria's Response 1

The Prussians are not stupid, they will definitely not allow their opponents on the exercise ground to have clearly out-of-the-ordinary weapons, assault guns aside, at least cannons are indispensable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info otherwise how would the Prussian artillery fight? Both sides are fighting in the field, and the bunkers are not semi-permanent, how can they withstand the attack of long-range artillery? So the prince can be sure that the other side will either increase the equipment himself, or limit the equipment of Bavaria. In either case, the difficulty of victory for the Bavarian legion increases.

After all, if the war wants to have a crushing effect, it is either a quantitative superiority or a qualitative superiority. Either it's a double crushing ...... quality and quantity. The Prussians will definitely make a fuss about the quantity and quality of artillery, which Ruprecht cannot stop, after all, to make the whole battle seem fair, right? The prince had absolutely no doubts about the attainments of a German general in artillery, so it was almost impossible to ...... if he wanted to cheat and play tricks.

As for the armored corps, although it is possible to concentrate on one point because of the attacker, it is obviously very difficult to storm the anti-artillery position. The long-range artillery forces of the two sides are almost equal, the fire support of the attacking side is not strong, and Moltke and others are not stupid, they will definitely be equipped with a large number of 77mm guns or other caliber anti-aircraft guns to deal with the Bavarian beasts, which will be quite difficult to fight. Moreover, Bavaria's armored units are also very limited, after all, it is impossible to form an armored division with more than 200 tanks like in World War 2, and it would be very good for people to let you have 1 armored battalion. And more than 40 wasps and crickets are definitely enough to deal with the Russians with scarce artillery, but it is hanging to deal with the Germans, in case a foot is mentioned on the iron plate, the position of the Bavarian regiment's attack is exactly the position of the opponent's concentrated defense, then after the pass, the armored spearhead of this division will no longer exist!

And if there is no armored force, what is the advantage of Bavaria? High-speed interspersing capability? The exercise ground is so big, where do you go to intersperse? Artillery range and numerical superiority? Please, the Prussians will definitely think of a level. Troop speed advantage? This one is even more non-existent. Therefore, then the two sides will degenerate into a stubborn village, and if there is no time limit, they can fight until the earth is desolate. And on the exercise ground, the result is naturally a handshake. And this result is something that the prince absolutely does not want!

"Lao Tzu spent so much money just for a draw? Absolutely not! "In fact, the limitation of the exercise site has already weakened the power of the blitzkrieg, and the Prussians will definitely increase their troops and equipment, and the prince's spending money to build an army is not just a quantitative change, but a qualitative change! He didn't want to accept it in the exercises, and let the Kaiser say: "Your tactics are nothing more than Erl's words." "If the prince wants to get more power, if he wants to completely control the Eastern Front, if he wants to make the power come from the unanimous approval of his troops and not from the authorization of the General Staff, he must play a brilliant enough record, on the battlefield, and the same on the exercise ground! Ruprecht wanted to let the Kaiser know that he was right, let Ferdinand and others realize that only he was worthy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's reliance, and let the Austro-Hungarian legions and nobles know that loyalty to him would have a more brilliant tomorrow! Of course, the prince also wanted the Germans to know that this is how air-ground operations are ......fought.

In short, it is very difficult for the prince on the ground to get back on the field, and even to be honest, by the time of World War II, it would be difficult for Germany to rely on the army alone to push down Britain and France, without 2000 bombers and attack aircraft of various kinds, the German army could destroy France so easily? What do you think? Therefore, the prince, who could not find a sense of superiority on the ground, finally decided to find a field in the air, compared with the ground system, the current Bavarian Air Force and the Luftwaffe are not at the same level! If you have to compare, refer to the Luftwaffe ...... of 1912 and the Luftwaffe of 1916. After all, Bavaria has even made a shrunken version of Gotha.

The Bavarian Corps with the cooperation of the air force and the Bavarian army without the cooperation of the air force are completely two concepts, first of all, one thing to be sure is that although the air force is very water in this era, the air defense is even more water! To put it bluntly, except for the Bavarian Legion, it is estimated that no one has the awareness of anti-bombing, right? Because it is a field battle, neither heavy artillery nor a large number of logistics units are protected by solid rock masses, and the open deployment of heavy artillery positions is not the best target for the Air Force? Not to mention the current Prussians, even in World War I, the air forces of both sides can still suppress each other's artillery positions, and the effect is said to be good. Not to mention that the current Prussia does not even have anti-aircraft machine guns.

Secondly, the existence of the air force also has a great advantage for a frontal breakthrough, no matter how much artillery you concentrate on land, it will also be limited by the geographical area and artillery range, for example, the Battle of Verdun, the Germans have reached the limit of artillery density, and it is impossible to increase it, but the air force is different, because they are three-dimensional, you can arrange 200 planes on a one-kilometer front line to bomb indiscriminately, but you can arrange 200 artillery pieces on the front line to try, can you put it down? (Of course, this is a rational arrangement, and you can put it down if you are shot, but this is beyond the scope of discussion.) )

Unlike the Army, which was almost open to Prussia, the Prussians did not pay much attention to the Air Force, although Moltke was very enthusiastic, but enthusiasm did not solve all problems, and no one was willing to invest in the Air Force until it played a huge role, except for the prince who was a traverser. Therefore, in the prince's view, the air force is a more terrible service than the ground armored forces and the rapid mobile corps, and this time, he needs to make the German top brass aware of this, and then reap a large number of orders and the ...... of the dominance of the air force. So, no matter who the opponents are this time, the prince must bomb them to scum!!

"We can make concessions in other areas in exchange for the admission of our air force, then the other side ends up concentrating 2 divisions, and it doesn't matter. As long as our 36 medium bombers and 24 fighters can be in place! Ruprecht said to his uncle.

"Do you really trust these things? These bombers are half of what we have now, and we haven't even done large-scale exercises, so how can this end if something goes wrong with the Prussians? Prince Leopold thought for a moment and then said: "This time, even Fritz is coming, and the victory or defeat of the exercise is directly related to our position on the Eastern Front in the future, and the stakes are a bit big." ”

"There is a risk to be gained. Trust me, uncle. Ruprecht said.
