"Are you crazy? A coup d'état in the event of a foreign invasion? The prince said with some surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It is precisely because of the invasion of foreign enemies that our military can implement military control! The diehards must be suppressed, and if your country supports us, then in the event of a foreign invasion, the neutrals will choose us who have the best chance of taking power. And only with state power can we concentrate the power of the whole country against the Italians. to have enough funds for your country's military expenses. Shevkai said with a smile.

"You're so bold." The prince sighed.

"If your country is also forced to the point of desperation, you must be more daring than me!" General Shevkai smiled bitterly. "Mind if I smoke a cigarette?

"Whatever you want. It's a private occasion. The prince said.

"The glory of my homeland is gone, and I have become a frail patient, and the Russians, the British, and now the Italians, want to tear a piece of flesh off us. I used to hold myself to the standards of a military man, hoping to save the country, but the situation did not get better. ”

"I came to realize that it was not me who was wrong, but this country, the government of this country was rotten, the Sultan was arrogant and ignorant, no matter how hard we tried, we started to look for all like-minded people, and people who could help us, we looked for the British, we also looked for the French, but they all failed, you are the best partner at the moment, and we will give you enough reward for your efforts. The day after tomorrow, you can see my sincerity! General Shevkai said earnestly.

"In addition, whether your country helps us or not, we will still do our best to keep our land, the Young Turks and the Turkish army will organize volunteers to go to Africa, and it will be difficult for us to draw enough weapons to arm them in a short time, I hope that Bavaria can provide some help, and we will pay the relevant money at the normal price." General Shevkai said. The general's troops need to deal with the enemy at home and be wary of the Balkan direction at the same time, so it is naturally difficult to draw enough weapons to arm this lone army that is about to be sent abroad, and the reason why it agreed to hand over the bank account to the prince is actually to buy weapons!

"How many weapons do you want?" The prince asked dryly.

"Our volunteer army has at least 6,000 people!" Shevkai thought for a moment and said.

"Very good, we will send a 100-member training team to instruct this force on how to fight, and the weapons they need will be ready within five days and will be delivered to Africa within half a month." The prince's answer was also very simple.

The 6,000-strong army is only the strength of 2 infantry regiments, and now the Bavarian regular army has 4 armies and more than 100,000 people, and some stocks collected from the arsenal are enough for these people. This was not difficult for the prince. However, at the same time, the prince also reminded General Shevkai to prepare more supplies and prepare for a long-term battle.

And two days later, the prince did see the "sincerity" of the Turks. After informing the Turks, the prince decisively allocated a total of 150,000 pounds of money for the initial "start-up capital", including but not limited to the sale of arms to the Turks, the cost of expatriates, various supplies, etc.

Combined with the situation in Africa, as well as the quality and equipment level of the Italian army, the prince believes that his machine gun carriage and mortar carriage have a lot of room to use, Libya is very large, 1.75 million square kilometers of land, most of the area is desert, if you rely on infantry to act, it is indeed very ....... Even if it is a simple slip along the coastline, the area is not small.

And in the beginning Italy must not have sent many ground troops, although Italy is weak, but they often despise the enemy's ....... It is impossible to build a complete front. So everybody is mobile. At this time, the mobile side will have the advantage, and for a country that also admires cavalry, it may lack everything else, but horses will not be lacking. Historically, in the Italo-Turkish War, most of the Turkish troops and tribal forces were cavalry .......

As for the combat effectiveness of the Italian army? The prince vaguely remembered that before Italy's entry into the war, the Austro-Hungarian army was at the bottom of the fighting power, but after Italy's entry into the war, the situation changed .......

In the Second Battle of the Izozo River on July 18, 1905. The Italian army concentrated 250,000 troops and attacked the 78,000 Austro-Hungarian troops opposite. However, the battle lasted until August 3, and after half a month, it failed to break through the opponent's positional ....... The Russians' assessment of Italy after the war was that weak artillery could not break through the defensive system of barbed wire, trenches and pillboxes, could not provide cover for the attacking troops, the attack force was scattered, and the infantry artillery coordination was very poor....... Basically, there are no advantages!

The artillery was sad enough at the beginning of Austria-Hungary, to be honest it was not even as good as the Russians, but who would have thought that Italy would be even more miserable! With three times the number of troops, the Italians could not break through the Austro-Hungarian defense, and according to historical records, in this area alone, the two sides repeatedly saw each other at least 8 times!

Let's put it this way, Germany pressed Russia with one hand, and Russia beat Austria-Hungary half-crippled with one hand, and half-crippled Austro-Hungarian blocked Italy with one hand ....... So, unlike the Boer regiments that faced the British, the Turks could get the same level of land firepower as the Italians without heavy weapons. A large number of machine guns and mortars were sufficient. Moreover, mortar shells are simple to make, and the shell shells can be made of cast iron, which does not affect the lethality at all.

On the third day, Moltke Jr. came to the Bavarian palace again with the Kaiser's message, the content of which was very simple. All operations against Italy were under the sole responsibility of the Prince, and in addition to the Bavarian army, the Imperial Navy could also be mobilized when necessary, but before the transfer, the Kaiser had to be informed, and in the case of auxiliary warships, Tirpitz could be notified, and then direct action.

On the diplomatic front, the Kaiser supported Austria-Hungary's participation in the disciplinary action against Italy in principle, and the prince could negotiate with Austria-Hungary on behalf of the German Empire. Seeing this, the prince couldn't help but scold Wilhelm II, you are really cunning and cunning!

It was not convenient for Germany to make a direct move, so it let Austria-Hungary make a move, anyway, Italy and Austria-Hungary had been enemies for many years. Even if it is an ally, it is normal for both sides to make some moves in secret. And Germany is again in the middle of the balance. Well, a good choice, and this time it was for the prince to negotiate with Austria-Hungary on behalf of Germany, which made it difficult for both princes. Leaning towards Germany, his grandfather and wife are unhappy, leaning towards Austria-Hungary, and will be scolded at home ......
