Germanic Empire: please call me William III

The most famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Chinatown was invited, and he gave Empress Victoria a very miraculous medical technique during the war, inserting long thin needles into Crown Prince William’s body.
If it weren’t for the old Chinese medicine doctor’s repeated emphasis that there would be no danger, Empress Victoria would have thought that the old Chinese medicine doctor was murdering Crown Prince William, not treating him.
Later, Empress Victoria learned that this was a miraculous medical technique called ‘acupuncture’.
Stimulated by the silver needles, Crown Prince William’s originally unconscious body actually underwent some changes.
This made Empress Victoria very happy, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
The old Chinese medicine doctor told Empress Victoria that the situation was very good. Perhaps two or three more years of such treatment would have revived Crown Prince William. This made Empress Victoria even more overjoyed.
She not only paid a large amount of medical fees, but also specifically advised the old Chinese medicine doctor not to leak the news.
The old Chinese medicine doctor benefited, and naturally promised not to divulge the condition of Crown Prince William.
The next day, Empress Victoria decided to move away from The Royal Palace in Potsdam.
The palace on Bai Lin’s side is full of people, and if Crown Prince William really recovers, it is impossible to hide it. The Potsdam Palace is different.
Auguste also knew what Empress Victoria was thinking, but he didn’t care.
In this day and age, it is not so easy to revive vegetative people. Even if Crown Prince William did wake up, he would not pose much of a threat to him when he was already in full power.
As long as his own safety is guaranteed, there will be no problems. Then no one could shake his rule in the Germanic Empire.
However, even so, August instructed the royal butler, Jonalet, to send someone to keep an eye on Empress Victoria. If a miracle had really happened, Crown Prince William would have really woken up. Well, he would have responded earlier.
In May 1712, Auguste summoned the top brass of the Army and Navy to discuss the expansion of the Marine Corps.
The Germanic Empire’s naval power was getting stronger, but the Marine Corps had only three brigades, which was too small.
Besides, this time the Navy was clearly on his side, and he naturally wanted to support the further development of the Navy.
What’s more, in the future, if the Germanic Imperial Navy defeated the Royal Navy of the Sunless Empire, or even launched an attack on the sun-setting Empire itself, it would naturally launch a landing operation. Compared to the Army, the Marine Corps will be more professional in landing operations.
The landfall was already extremely cruel and bloody, and it would pay heavy casualties. Allowing well-trained Marines to land on the beach can undoubtedly effectively reduce the casualties of troops. After the Marines have opened up a safe landing field, the Army forces will land on a large scale and launch an attack on the deep positions where the sun will not set, which will undoubtedly be much easier.
The Army is naturally opposed to the expansion of the Marine Corps.
Once the Marine Corps is expanded, it will undoubtedly have a considerable impact on the Army.
Only this time, the Junkers regiment suffered a heavy blow, and Auguste’s influence in the army was further enhanced. No one could stop him from trying to do anything.
“Gentlemen, I am ready to expand the Marine Corps from the size of the current three brigades to twelve brigades! The Imperial Marine Corps has always been relatively weak. In the future, if the Empire can defeat the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Set Empire and launch an attack on the mainland of the Sun Never Set Empire, a strong Marine Corps is very necessary.
In addition, once the Empire has won the war, it can also use the Marine Corps when using troops against overseas colonies. Small-scale battles can be solved directly with the Marine Corps, and there is no need to use the Army at all. The duty of the Army was to defeat several of the Empire’s major powers.
If everyone has no opinion, then the Marine Corps should be expanded according to this scale! ”
August told everyone about his plan.
The chief of the general staff, General Moltke Jr., and the Minister of War, Admiral Von Falkenhain, were naturally reluctant in their hearts.
However, they simply could not stop August.
As for the deputy chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ludendorff, he naturally gave full support to August.
Count Marshal Tirpitz and Marshal Vonpol had smiles on their faces.
The Marine Corps expanded from three brigades to 12 brigades, which was directly expanded by four times! This allowed the Navy to finally have a powerful ground force, a force that could be applied to ground combat.
This will undoubtedly allow the Navy’s status to continue to be enhanced, while at the same time being able to take on more combat tasks.
Of course, in August’s plan, the expansion of the navy to 12 brigades was only the first step. Once war broke out, the navy would also be expanded as soon as possible, from 12 brigades to 12 divisions, making the total strength of the Marine Corps more than 200,000 people, becoming another powerful combat force in the Germanic Empire.
However, if the war broke out, the Size of the Germanic Army would be even greater, and the existing sixty infantry divisions would be expanded to one hundred infantry divisions, or even two hundred infantry divisions, or even three hundred infantry divisions.
If two hundred infantry divisions could be used to solve the problem and win the war, it would naturally be the best. But if the battle situation is not smooth, the enemy is too strong. There was no way to expand to three hundred infantry divisions.
For the Germanic Empire, winning the future war was the most important.
“The expansion of the Marine Corps is to win future wars. Similarly, the Army must be prepared for battle. The expansion and training of armored units cannot be relaxed. I hope that once the future war breaks out, the armored forces of the Imperial Army will be able to burst out a powerful combat force, directly tear apart the enemy’s defense line in the middle of the war, break through the enemy’s defensive positions, penetrate all the enemy’s defenses, and contribute the greatest strength to the Empire’s victory in this war! Auguste had a serious expression.
After all, it was now 1712, and if the course of time and space had been followed, it might not have been long before war had broken out.
Even, in such a tense international situation, any point of Mars is likely to detonate a great war. This made August pay more attention.
