"My request is very simple, first, I want the establishment of 4 mobile divisions, and the reason for this is that because Bavaria is in a central position, we need to carry out enough mobile forces to support the two-front operation." The prince raised his first finger.

"Second, two of these 4 motorized divisions must be able to recruit Germans from Austria. The question of funding was borne by Bavaria and Austria-Hungary, and the central government of the Reich did not have to pay a penny! The prince raised his second finger! And this sentence made the Kaiser on the opposite side feel a little dissatisfied.

"Why do things have to be mixed up with Austria-Hungary?" The Kaiser said with a frown.

"Because of the cost of manpower and the need for future battles, the cost of recruiting a native in Bavaria is already very high at present, and if the money to recruit two soldiers is put into Bohemia or other parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it may be able to recruit three or four people, who are being eliminated from the grassroots system because of language or other problems, and we can accept these remaining manpower."

"As future kings, we must make everyone contribute to the fullest, save all the costs that can be saved, and after almost 10 years of training and building, Bavarians are better suited as workers because they are better suited to construction and production. On the Austro-Hungarian side, there were manpower but not enough jobs, so the necessary complementarity was needed. ”

"We are all Germans, we all have the same religion, and although we belong to two countries, there is no difference. In the future, the Bavarian Army and the Austro-Hungarian Army will cooperate with each other, which will help to increase the trust of both sides and reduce unnecessary trouble. ”

"It is good to do it economically, militarily and politically! Why can't we be more open? The prince concluded.

"4 divisions is more than 50,000 people, this number is too much, it is impossible for the Prussian military to accept, at most three divisions, the total number of troops is equal to one army." The Kaiser didn't really care much about Bavaria's license from Austria, after all, it was still common to hire people in this era.

In the Boer War, the Boers had 9,000 Dutch and Irish troops, and the British colonial army recruited people from all over the world. The famous foreign mercenary corps of the French also exists. What really cared about the Kaiser was the size of the Bavarian Legion. If this plan had succeeded, the Bavarian army would have numbered more than 20% of the German army. Coupled with the fact that other kingdoms may also ask for military expansion, the Kaiser always feels that it is not so good.

"Württemberg and Saxony will not make similar claims, because we in Bavaria are responsible for feeding these troops, while the other two principalities are supported by the German government. The entire system and army formation were carried out under imperial constraints. So there is no comparison. The prince knew what the Kaiser was worried about, so he said.

So why is Bavaria so maverick? All other countries were organized according to Prussian standards, but Bavaria was the exception. This is something that bothered me a lot, and it made some people within the empire very unhappy, or rather uneasy. The Kaiser said with a frown.

"I don't want to talk about the question of faith and history, I think a lot of people have already mentioned it, but I'm just talking about the benefits of keeping this uniqueness in Bavaria, the benefits for Germany as a whole." The prince said calmly. He had already prepared for the Kaiser's statement.

As the king of Prussia and the emperor of Germany, the rulers of Prussia did not want to assimilate other kingdoms all the time, of course, this assimilation does not mean that the other party's royal title is directly abolished, but that it is gradually integrated into the whole, for example, at the beginning of the 20th century, Prussia completed the unification of the postal and railway kingdoms of Württemberg and Saxony. Another example is the unification of the military system of the above two kingdoms.

Unfortunately, by the time of the collapse of the Second Reich, Bavaria had been minimally affected, at least militarily. (The author of the post and railroad can't remember exactly!) The prince knew that both in history and in the present, sooner or later the Kaiser would reach out to Bavaria. And as a future **** with great ambitions and ambitions, the prince will naturally not agree.

"Why do you want to make adjustments to the General Staff? Why do you want to absorb the military leaders of other kingdoms into the decision-making system? The prince asked directly. Isn't it because you think that the simple Prussian Junker aristocracy is not good for the imperial power? ”

"In fact you and I have many ideas that cannot be implemented in the Prussian army, and some of the Junker nobility and capitalists have been allied, and they still have great power even if they do not rely on imperial power. The Mauser rifle did not work as well as our new semi-automatic rifle, and Prussia did not lack the money, but it just couldn't be popularized on a large scale. ”

"I can do a motorized division in Bavaria with a car capacity, but can Prussia? There will be a lot of resistance to investing the money that would have been spent on Ma Zheng in the emerging automotive sector, and I think the results of some of your early tentative work have illustrated these problems. ”

"There are even arguments in the staff that they are reluctant to expand the army because they are afraid of the decrease in the proportion of noble officers! Some people in high positions have disregarded the safety of the country for the selfish interests of a certain class! Is this tolerable? We cannot expand our army not because of money, manpower or political pressure, but because some people are unwilling to lose their monopoly privileges! What a rarity! The prince's words were full of mockery.

(This is really a historical fact, and interested book friends can Baidu General Heilingen, Prussian Field Marshal, Prussian Minister of War, and Commander of the German Seventh Army after the start of World War I.) ）

"You are struggling, and if you want to make any changes and attempts, you have to use 7 points of strength to solve various internal contradictions, and the remaining 3 points of strength can do things. But Bavaria is different, there is no stubborn and powerful Junker aristocracy, there are no rich and cunning big capitalists, the king can fully represent the country, we can do whatever we want. ”

"So on this canvas, a person who really has the ability can use his talents to the fullest, I can build an economic system according to my own ideas, establish an advanced military system, without considering all kinds of conservative forces, and for Germany alone, it should keep the Bavarian military independent, because here, the German army can draw fresh blood." The prince said.
