"His Majesty the Emperor is very annoyed by the betrayal of the Italians, but due to the current international situation and domestic environment, it is not convenient for us to take strong action in the open. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAfter all, Germany is the core of the Allied system, and it is not good to directly suppress internal members. "This time, the personnel sent by the German central government were of a very high standard, and the famous Moltke Jr. came to Bavaria in person.

"However, we must not ignore this betrayal, and the Empire will use all means of indirect confrontation to help our soon-to-be-joined allies, and by the way, punish the restless Apennine state. And General Schell and I came here to cooperate with the Bavarian royal family in doing this. Moltke said.

"It is impossible to do this with the Bavarian royal family alone. We are too weak. And most importantly, our supplies simply cannot be sent to Libya, which is a colony of the French to the west and Egypt, a vassal state of the British, to the east. In the event of a war, the sea lanes would be easily controlled by the Italian fleet. Tell me, how is this battle fought? The prince asked rhetorically.

"You don't have to worry about supplies and expenses, the Imperial Government is responsible for this, and we need professional and reliable combatants, such as your Blue Legion." Moltke said disappreciatively.

"Stock up on supplies ahead of time? How long do you think these supplies can last? The prince smiled wryly.

"According to our intelligence, the Turks have a total of 25,000 people in this area, but there are only 8,000 regular troops, and the rest are nomadic cavalry of the tribe, and we will give the latter some equipment, but not much. What is really needed is the supply of 8000 Turkish troops, we ship directly in the coastal ports of the Adriatic Sea, and we can transport 2000 tons of various supplies at a time, and it will not be a problem to support the Turks to fight for 3 months to half a year. Moltke thought for a moment and said.

"Half a year, too little, what if the Italians plan to play for 1 year?" Historically, both Italy and the Ottoman Empire have been persistent enough in Libya, and the two sides have been fighting in the region for more than a year. Italy finally mobilized as many as 100,000 troops, and the navy also bombarded Turkish ports, including Beirut, aircraft, warships, armored vehicles, and new weapons were all used, and Turkey spent 1 year with Italy while carrying the Balkan alliance in the Balkans!

"The Italians have the support of Britain and France, so they are not short of money, think about their attachment to Ethiopia. We must be prepared to fight a long battle, at least for more than one year. Can anyone tell me how the army in Africa has been able to sustain itself for such a long time? ”

"The transport of supplies is a threshold that cannot be bypassed, and we are dealing with the Italians on Italian doorstep this time, who knows how many troops they will end up sending? 50,000 or 100,000? How many troops do we need to send to fight a battle on the scale of Adwa for the Italians to give up completely? The prince's series of questions made the two people present realize for the first time that the problem is not simple, yes, what is the bottom line of the Italians? And is Germany willing to pay so much for Turkey?

"Both, before we continue our discussion on this issue, I hope that the Kaiser's full authorization can be obtained, as we did last time with the Portuguese and the French. Our opponents this time are not stronger than last time. But I need support! The prince said.

"I will contact Berlin immediately, I believe that the order will be conveyed soon, and in three days at most, the central government will definitely give a clear answer to His Highness." Moltke Jr. said.

"Then I'll wait for good news." After the prince finished speaking, he motioned for Count Schelling to see off the guest.

Now the prince can be sure of one thing, that is, the Kaiser wants to clean up this disobedient little brother, and his attitude is very resolute, so to speak, he can take all actions except directly tearing his face and doing it. But there are some things in this world that you can't do what you want to do, and I have to say that the war in Libya is very bad for Turkey. A colony hanging overseas and without a navy, how do you let the Turkish government fight?

There are only two ways to get the Italians to stop, the first is to directly fight a war of annihilation on a scale larger than Adua, to make the Italians realize that conquest is impossible, or in other words, to make the Italians feel that the gains outweigh the losses through a long war of attrition and guerrilla warfare.

But unfortunately, neither of these things is easy to do. Don't look down on Ethiopia, at the beginning, they also concentrated 100,000 troops, including 25,000 King's Guards who have been trained by European instructors, not to mention how effective they are, but at least they know how to fight. Then 108,000 people besieged Italy's 17,000 troops to achieve such a big victory, and in Libya now, where do you find 100,000 troops?

It's subtraction on my side, but it's addition on the Italians side. Historically, Italy was able to deploy and support less than 20,000 troops in distant East Africa. And this time, it was fought at the door of someone's house, and 100,000 troops were sent in history, even if the Italians were softer. How can you inflict such a massive heavy army on all at once? And people can also get the protection ...... of naval guns in coastal ports. Let me ask, how can a force, mainly nomadic cavalry, attack a coastal stronghold covered by naval artillery?

The prince was lost and confused. The Italians fought with Britain and France to help pay the bill, don't go to the end, they fought half-pulled and half-drawn, and the Kaiser said that he would not play, so will Bavaria continue to fight or not? Money or anything is a small matter, the point is that thousands of elite Bavarian veterans can't just end up like this!

"I will be your king in the future, and you will be loyal to me, and I will give you a life of glory and abundance." The prince never forgot the oath he had made to these loyal veterans when the Blue Legion was first formed and left for the Far East.

As a traverser, Bavaria can have today by itself and a group of like-minded people, whether it is Prince Leopold, Schmidt, Count Schelling, who belonged to the Bavarian system at the beginning, or the armored technician who jumped from Krupp to follow him, or "international friends" like Vittorio, they are all princes' comrades-in-arms. They have paid their loyalty, blood and sweat, and the prince must make their lives better, at least not in a foreign land!

The prince thought it was really difficult to do, and it didn't seem to make much profit. So he also began to hesitate whether to accept this matter or not.
