1265 The Road Ahead
When it comes to farming, the prince thinks that it is okay not to say that it is the first in the world, at least in Germany. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Ukraine and the Transcaucasia have a lot to offer. According to the agreement, the area was to be a territory of Austria-Hungary or a vassal of the Central Powers. It was not the land that Prussia was to be annexed. The prince can save a lot of trouble.
"It's still a pity." The Kaiser glanced at the prince and was not satisfied with his answer. However, there was no direct veto to the prince's request, which shows that in principle it is possible to be accommodating, but the specific conditions need to be discussed.
"If the Normanov dynasty collapses and an agreement is reached with the Russian government, Bavaria's military production can be tilted towards the Western Front, and we will send no less than 8 divisions of combat troops, 8 integrated divisions, enough 150,000 men! This was already the limit, and from the beginning of the war, the Bavarian Corps fought on the Eastern Front, the Western Front and the Balkans. We have done our part, with a population of more than 70 million in Germany and only 13 million in Bavaria. We've done enough. The prince gritted his teeth and said.
"Drawing 8 divisions to the Western Front, while taking into account the domination of the occupied territories and the Balkan theater, this condition is not bad." The Kaiser pondered in his heart. Is 8 divisions more? Not much, of course. But given the size of the Bavarian Corps and the huge area that needed to be controlled on the Eastern Front, it would be nice to be able to squeeze out these forces. This is close to the Kaiser's psychological price, but he still wants to continue to fight for some.
"These units must carry no less than 7,000 tanks, assault guns and armored vehicles, and half of the Bavarian Air Force should be deployed on the Western Front and placed under the command of the General Staff of the Western Front." The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, I don't need to keep so much heavy equipment, however, my troops can be used as spears for the charge on the Western Front. But definitely not as cannon fodder! After a moment of contemplation, the prince said. 7000 battlefields naturally cannot all be tanks and assault guns, which is almost more than 7 percent of the current Bavarian Legion front-line armored force, although the prince's corps will be expanded, but even considering that next year, when the prince realizes his plan, the number of Bavarian tanks, assault guns and heavy armored vehicles will definitely not exceed 1500, which is basically the transfer of more than 5 percent of the armored units of the Bavarian Legion.
But the prince thought it was still a good deal. First of all, the Kaiser could only draw troops from the Bavarian Legion, but not against the Bohemian Legion, which was nominally part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the prince was able to command this force because of the authorization of his wife, Crown Princess Marie. Therefore, although most of the elite armor of the Bavarian Army was withdrawn, the armored force of Bohemia was completely sufficient.
Secondly, after the collapse of the Normanov dynasty, in the process of fighting between the Red Army, the White Army and all kinds of miscellaneous forces, the practical use of heavy technical equipment in their hands is no longer very large, after all, neither the Red Army nor the White Army can compare their combat effectiveness with the previously formed Russian regular corps. To put it bluntly, it is all kinds of Russian troops that are left over.
The Red Army's will to fight will be higher, but if nothing else, it should be the Red Army that finally signed the "Treaty of Bryce" with the prince on this plane, and the Red Army will not dare to engage the prince's army without internal clarification. As for dealing with the White Army and the strength of national independence, do you still need a lot of tanks? These things are no longer necessities, on the contrary, they require a lot of manpower and material resources to be maintained and maintained, and it is better to support the fighting on the Western Front.
As for the forces that might deal with some events in Austria-Hungary and Germany in the future? This prince also took into account, noting the previous premise, that after the end of large-scale fighting on the Eastern Front, the prince needed to maintain Ukraine, Transcaucasia, and the Balkan theater of operations. On this basis, after removing the corps and air forces that went to the Western Front, Bavaria did not have many remaining forces, but what if by then, the prince only needed to maintain two regions?
That's right, it's two regions! When the war on the Eastern Front is basically over, in fact, the war in the Balkans is almost over! It's not that the prince will concentrate superior forces to drive Britain and France out of the Balkans, but at that time, it is estimated that Britain and France will go first, right? As for why? The reason is simple!
The Russians on the Eastern Front are finished, then a considerable part of the forces will be transferred to the Western Front, and Germany will launch the most fierce offensive in history! At this time, even the main base of the French does not know if it can be defended, who cares about the Balkans, a place where birds don't?! And without the Anglo-French army, then Greece can only hehe. What the? Serbia, you ask? Don't worry, maybe in the course of the Battle of Dardanelles, it was easily solved by the Bavarian Army moving south! Greece could rely on British bombers and naval guns for protection, but Serbia could not.
"If the Hungarians were to be allowed to be self-governing, it would not be difficult to get Austria done with the acquiescence of Emperor Fritz. As for Germany proper? The Kingdom of Bavaria still has its own garrison army, and the radical left-wing forces such as the Social Democrats and the Spartacists, although they can demagogue, cannot face the real army, and they can only succeed on two points, the first is war weariness, and the second is that a large number of troops are fixed on the front line, and now, the first point is probably weaker than in history, and the second point? Hehe, referring to the purge of the Freedom Corps in history, it does not take too many troops at all, as long as someone dares to do it, then those who have just picked up guns are definitely no match for the Bavarian Legion, even if there are no tanks and heavy artillery. ”
The prince has a basic prediction of the form after 2 years, in fact, after the fall of the Normanov dynasty, when the Americans in this plane are silent, in fact, Germany is basically invincible, so before Germany "unifies the mind and pushes a wave of French", the prince must consider his own interests, as well as the future form of Germany's internal form! If you want to be clear, it is that you are ready to switch from foreign wars to infighting...... After all, the prince is not preparing and fighting so hard for the sake of a simple millennium!
"This condition is acceptable. Anyway, we must leave a certain amount of troops on the Eastern Front, in the Balkans. The Kaiser nodded in agreement. At this point, the objectives of both sides were achieved, and the Kaiser felt that he had made the most of and limited the Bavarian Army. And the prince also remained on the right to have been on the Eastern Front. Everybody's happy, aren't they?
