The Rise of the Empire

"Are you crazy? You want to launch a coup when foreign enemies invade?" the prince said in surprise. \u003c/p\u003e"Because of the invasion of foreign enemies, our military can implement military control! The diehards must be suppressed, and if your country supports us, then in the case of foreign enemy invasion, the neutral faction will choose the most powerful We have the opportunity to take power. Only with national power can we concentrate the power of the whole country against the Italians. Only then will there be enough funds for your country's military expenditure." Xie Fukai said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e "You are so bold." The prince sighed. \u003c/p\u003e"If your country is also forced to the point of no return, you must be more courageous than me!" General Xie Fukai smiled wryly. "Mind if I have a cigarette?\u003c/p\u003e" Feel free. This is a private occasion. "The prince said.\u003c/p\u003e"The glory of my motherland is gone, and it has become a weak patient. The Russians, the British, and now the Italians all want to tear a piece of flesh from us. I used to demand myself as a soldier, hoping to save the country, but the situation didn't get better. "\u003c/p\u003e "I gradually realized that it was not me who was wrong, but this country. The government of this country has been corrupted, and the Sudan is arrogant and ignorant. No matter how hard we try, there is nothing we can do. People, and people who can help us, we have looked for the British and the French, but they all failed. You are the best partner so far, and we will give you enough in return for your efforts. The day after tomorrow at the latest, you can see my sincerity! "General Chevkai said earnestly.\u003c/p\u003e"In addition, no matter whether your country helps us or not, we will still do our best to keep our land. The Young Turk Party and the Turkish army will organize volunteers to go to Africa, and we will soon Difficult to come up with enough weapons to arm them, I hope Bavaria can provide some help, we will pay the relevant payment at normal price. "General Chevkai said. The general's troops need to deal with domestic enemies and guard against the Balkans at the same time. Naturally, it is difficult to draw enough weapons to arm this lone army that is about to be sent abroad, and the reason why it agreed to hand over the bank account to the prince In the hands, it is actually to buy weapons!\u003c/p\u003e "How many weapons do you want? "The prince asked simply.\u003c/p\u003e "Our volunteer army has at least 6,000 people! Xie Fukai thought for a while and said.\u003c/p\u003e "Very well, we will send a teaching group of 100 people to instruct this army how to fight. The weapons they need can be ready within 5 days, and within half a month shipped to Africa. "The prince's answer was also very straightforward.\u003c/p\u003eA force of 6,000 is only 2 infantry regiments. Now Bavaria has 4 regular troops and more than 100,000 people. Some stocks collected from the arsenal are enough. People used it. This is not difficult for the prince. But at the same time, the prince also reminded General Shevkai to prepare more supplies and prepare for a long-term battle.\u003c/p\u003eTwo days later, the prince did see the "sincerity" of the Turks After informing the Turks, the prince decisively set aside a total of 150,000 pounds of funds for the initial "startup capital" including but not limited to arms sold to the Turks, expatriate expenses, various Supplies, etc.\u003c/p\u003eCombined with the situation in Africa, as well as the quality and equipment level of the Italian army, the prince believes that his machine gun carriage and mortar carriage have a lot of room for display. Libya is very large, with 1.75 million square kilometers of land , Most of the area is desert, if you rely on infantry to operate, it is indeed very cheating... Even if it is just a stretch of the coastline, the area is not small.

\u003c/p\u003eAnd at the beginning, Italy will definitely not send many ground troops. Although Italy is very weak, they often despise the enemy... It is impossible to build a complete front. So everyone is mobile combat. At this time, the side with mobility will have the upper hand. For a country that also advocates cavalry, it may lack other things, but it will never lack horses. In the history of Italian-Turkish wars, most of the Turkish troops and tribal troops were cavalry.... \u003c/p\u003eAs for the combat effectiveness of the Italian army? The prince vaguely remembered that before Italy entered the war, the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army was at the bottom, but after Italy entered the war, the situation changed... \u003c/p\u003eDuring the Second Battle of the Izonzo River on July 18, 1905. The Italian army concentrated 250,000 troops and attacked the 78,000 Austro-Hungarian troops on the opposite side. However, until August 3rd, after half a month of fighting, they failed to break through the opponent's position...  After the war, the Russians' evaluation of Italy was that the weak artillery could not break through the defense system composed of barbed wire, trenches and bunkers, could not provide cover for the attacking troops, the attack power was scattered, and the infantry coordination was very poor.... Basically no advantage! \u003c/p\u003eAt the beginning of Austria-Hungary, the artillery was sad enough. To be honest, even the Russians were inferior, but who would have thought that Italy would be more miserable! With three times the troops, the Italians were unable to break through the Austro-Hungarian defense line, and according to historical records, in this area alone, the two sides saw each other at least 8 times! \u003c/p\u003eLet’s put it this way, Germany handed over Russia with one hand, Russia half disabled Austria-Hungary with one hand, and half-disabled Austria-Hungary blocked Italy with one hand... \u003c/p\u003e Therefore, unlike the Boer Legion facing the British, the Turks can obtain army firepower comparable to that of Italy without any heavy weapons. A large number of machine guns and mortars will suffice. Moreover, the production of mortar shells is simple, and the shell shells can be made of cast iron, which does not affect the lethality at all. \u003c/p\u003eOn the third day, little Moltke came to the Bavarian palace again with the Kaiser's handwritten letter, which was very simple. The prince is fully responsible for all actions against Italy. In addition to mobilizing the Bavarian army, the Imperial Navy can also be mobilized when necessary. However, before mobilizing, the Kaiser needs to be informed, and if it is an auxiliary warship, Tyre can be notified. Pitts, then go straight to action. \u003c/p\u003e In terms of diplomacy, the Kaiser supported the Austria-Hungary Empire in principle to participate in this punitive action against Italy, and the prince could discuss related matters on behalf of the German Empire and the Austria-Hungary Empire. Seeing this, the prince couldn't help but secretly scolded William II, you are really cunning and cunning! \u003c/p\u003eIt is not convenient for Germany to make a direct move, so it let Austria-Hungary make a move. Anyway, Italy and Austria-Hungary have been enemies for many years. Even if it is an ally, it is normal for both sides to make some moves secretly. And Germany is in the middle of the balance. Well, a very good choice, and this time the prince was asked to represent Germany and Austria-Hungary, which made it very difficult for the prince to handle. Leaning toward Germany, my grandfather and wife are unhappy, leaning toward Austria-Hungary, and will be scolded at home... \u003c/p\u003eThe second one is here~~~!
