As Ludendorff said, Bavaria has a huge advantage in the actual strength of a division, so 1v1 is unfair, but if Germany comes according to the ratio of front-line combat troops, will Prussia have one and a half divisions against a Bavarian division? And even if it was agreed, what if Prussia still lost?

That's right, after a period of research, Moltke Jr. found that even if the forces of both sides were replenished according to the number of combat forces on the 1st line, the Prussian corps still had no advantage, and the forces of the first-line combat troops were replenished, but what about the equipment? The Bavarian side replaced some division-level 150mm howitzers with 150mm cannons, although the caliber is the same, but the range can be nearly doubled! The Bavarian division has a large number of 105mm howitzers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The number of machine guns equipped with the INFO troops is also much higher than that of ordinary Prussian divisions, and in terms of machine guns alone, if you count the machine guns of armored vehicles, 2 divisions may not be comparable to a reinforced Bavarian division. Is it really possible to merge two divisions into one and fight with others?

"If we want to defeat the Bavarian Corps, then first of all, we must have a certain advantage at the artillery level, we must have at least 2 companies of 150mm cannons, 150mm howitzers and 105mm light howitzers must reach about 1.3 times the number of the opponent to have a chance, because some of the opponent's howitzers use self-propelled guns, and their reaction speed and use effect are better." Hindenburg said.

The German generals who were able to become famous in the 1 World War are guaranteed that they are at least artillery specialists. Concentrating dozens of companies of artillery to attack the opponent was something that the Prussian regiment had already played rotten in the Franco-Prussian War, and there was no technical content at all. Now, the Germans have been able to skillfully use mobile artillery groups, long-range indirect shooting, barrage Xu Jin, these modern gameplay, as the so-called, the more you know, the more you feel the breadth and profundity of knowledge, although Prussia has not yet installed a large number of self-propelled guns, but for the power of this kind of thing, Hindenburg has a deep experience.

There is a saying in later generations that if you want to talk about the cost, a self-propelled howitzer is several times more expensive than a towed howitzer of the same specification, not to mention anything else, just the territory that can carry heavy artillery is not cheap, but why do the armies of various countries need a large number of equipment? The reason lies in the survivability and mobility of self-propelled howitzers! Especially for long-range artillery, the longer the range, the greater the increase in artillery mobility! A towed artillery is just a weapon, and the self-propelled howitzer itself is a system, and when it arrives at the position, it fires directly, without preparation, and immediately transfers in the face of suppression, and there is no need to prepare, and when it encounters shrapnel, it is good to directly harden steel, these capabilities are not what towed artillery can have.

There were also counter-artillery operations in the 1st World War, but most of this technology relied on observation, and the high mobility of self-propelled howitzers could not be countered theoretically under the current conditions, in addition to long-term fire suppression, in the eyes of the other side, self-propelled artillery was basically out of a state of mobility, how do you fight? At this time, Prussia did not have a ground attack aircraft, and there was no way to play safari. Therefore, Hindenburg particularly emphasized that it can compete with its opponents only if it has a numerical advantage.

"Don't we have our own self-propelled guns?" Prince Albert, who had been beside him without speaking, finally said a little depressed.

"We didn't order a lot of Vespa assault guns, let alone self-propelled guns based on their territory, a 150mm howitzer weighs about 5 tons, and it is difficult for a vehicle without a tracked territory to carry such a heavy gun, at least not for trucks now, and half-tracks seem to be a good idea, but we also don't have a lot of equipment." Mackensen said.

"Because it's made in Bavaria, can't we equip it?" Prince Albert said with a frown.

"The Bavarian Legion can be equipped with expensive weapons because of its small size, but not the Empire, Your Highness, you should be considerate of Your Majesty's distress." Moltke Jr. immediately interrupted this speech with political consequences: "So what else should we do if we want to win this war? ”

"A large number of flat-fire guns, 50 rapid-fire guns of the 3-inch level are absolutely not enough, believe me, if there are no such artillery, those big guys, there is simply nothing to stop. There are also cars and armored vehicles, and we have to have a mobile force to threaten the opponent's flanks, otherwise I don't see a chance of winning if we can't hit them head-on and avoid the opponent's weak links. Mackensen said.

"In other words, are you ready to use the firepower of an army against a division?" Moltke sneered. "Or do you think the prince is a fool?!" Fight 1 corps with 1 division? Will the other party say yes? What you are talking about now is so lively, but in the end, didn't I go to communicate with Bavaria on behalf of Prussia? Why do you want me to carry this pot?

"Actually, from the point of view of the level of equipment, the other side does have an advantage in the same scale, and the other side may not agree with us to increase the number of troops, otherwise, it is obvious that we will suffer, it is just a question of how much to increase the number of troops, these problems can be discussed, right? Everybody? "Moltke Jr. is indeed a battle-hardened veteran, and in addition to the military, he is also a qualified politician! Throwing the pot is the most basic skill!

"General Mackensen, now it's up to you to draw up a battle plan, Hindenburg, you go and take charge of compiling a Prussian regiment exercise troop formation, Ludendorff, you cooperate with the two of you, well, that's it." Moltke Jr. began to arrange. "At the time of the meeting with Ruprecht, Hindenburg was in charge of discussing the issue of troops." Well, after saying that, Moltke immediately felt that his thoughts had reached .......

And just when Moltke Jr. and others were worried about the establishment of the corps, Ruprecht and others who were far away in Munich were also worried about the same thing, because now, Ruprecht was thinking about how to stuff the air force into the configuration of his forces in this exercise, the Bavarian Army had an advantage, and it was a great advantage, if 1 division against 1 division, the Bavarian Army would definitely win, no way, this is by advanced tactical thinking, epoch-making equipment system, and combat effectiveness piled up with real money, 150 cannons against 150 howitzers, assault guns are all riding in the face, you tell me how to lose ?!

If it's really 1v1, then Ruprecht can be described as lying down to win. But the question is, is it possible for people to really fight with 1 division and 1 division? As long as Prussia didn't want to lose, it would never agree to this style of play!
