Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Your Majesty, if the reorganization is carried out according to this criterion. Then our Army firepower will be strengthened as never before. And this will inevitably further increase our logistical pressure. If logistical supplies cannot keep up, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced. Von Falkenhain also expressed his concerns.

“Gentlemen, I am well aware of your concerns. However, I believe that none of these problems can be solved. From now on, the Imperial Army will strengthen the construction of logistical support. At present, all units are equipped with a lot of mules and horses, which are used to drag artillery and transport supplies. However, I hope that the mules and horses will be phased out with trucks.

Despite the current trucks, the performance is still relatively backward. But I believe that as long as we increase investment in this area, we can derive more advanced performance, larger load capacity, more reliable trucks.

At that time, trucks can not only be used to tow artillery, but also to transport supplies. Even when the infantry is marching, they do not have to rush on two legs and take the car directly. In this way, we can not only greatly improve the speed of our infantry units, but also ensure that when the soldiers arrive on the battlefield, they can be put into the battlefield in an excellent state. ”

Liu Chuan’s proposal made the generals of the Germanic Imperial Army suddenly shine, as if they pointed out a new path.

“Your Majesty, will the truck really be able to reach our intended goal?” Lieutenant General Moltke jr. asked.

If this aspect cannot be achieved, then everything will be very problematic.

“Of course, I’m convinced. Next, August Mining will set up a company dedicated to the production of trucks. We will specialize in the development of trucks, and we will certainly be able to develop suitable trucks in the near future. By then, all units of the Imperial Army would be equipped with a large number of trucks. Not only can it effectively solve logistical problems, but also further improve the speed of the troops. Liu Chuan said.

The generals all nodded, and if the Imperial Army could really equip a large number of trucks in large quantities, then this problem could undoubtedly be solved.

Of course, after a large number of trucks are equipped, the demand for oil will also skyrocket.

The Germanic Empire was a country that lacked oil, and it was necessary to make oil reserves. Otherwise, once war breaks out, the sea trade lines are cut off. The equipped vehicles and even the tanks and armored vehicles were buried because they did not have enough fuel, and became piles of scrap iron. Well, the trouble is really big.

“Gentlemen, the population of the Empire is so far only more than sixty million. This means that even if war breaks out, there are only a few million troops we can mobilize. And our enemy, although the population is not as good as ours. However, there are also those with more people than we do. More importantly, the Empire had too many enemies.

The population of Gaul is nearly forty million, the population of the Empire that never sets is more than 45 million, and the population of the Russian Empire is as high as 140 million, which is more than twice that of us. The combined population of these three main enemies is more than two hundred million, almost four times ours.

Moreover, this is not the case of the overseas colonies of the Empire and gaul. Once war broke out, they were able to get more soldiers from overseas colonies. In that case, our population is even more disadvantaged.

Therefore, each of our soldiers is precious. In future wars, we must try our best to improve the combat effectiveness of our troops and further strengthen the equipment of our troops. Make sure we win with as little loss as possible. Only in this way can we win the final victory at the lowest cost, and can we get a complete victory! ”

Liu Chuan said sincerely to the generals.

The Germanic Empire was technologically advanced and militarily powerful.

The most obvious shortcoming, in addition to the lack of resources, is that the population is not enough.

Although, the Germanic Empire also had a hardcore ally, namely the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

However, the germanic generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were naturally very clear about what virtue the Austro-Hungarian army was, and they simply could not pin their hopes on them.

Therefore, in the future wars, the Germanic Army will be able to rely on only itself.

“Your Majesty, I see what you mean. The General Staff will go all out to promote the reorganization of the Army! General Schlieffen, after a brief silence, expressed his attitude.

Von Falkenhain and Lieutenant General Moltke Jr., as well as other generals, echoed.

Seeing everyone’s statement, Liu Chuan’s face couldn’t help but show a smile.

He was right, and the generals would eventually be willing to think about the Germanic Empire.

“Gentlemen, I plan to reorganize the Imperial Army into thirty infantry divisions.” Liu Chuan continued.
