Chapter 1547

"His Royal Highness, if you are worried that there will be problems in the direction of Turkey, we can transfer another group of troops from the country to enter the battlefield. Judging from the current mobilization level, our wrong potential can still be tapped." Kaliput Suggested on the side.

"Is there really no problem?" the prince asked. The Kingdom of Bavaria now has a population of 13 million, including 600,000 troops. These troops include not only the frontal corps, but also the air force and logistics personnel. Among them, the current front-line troops and reserve teams number 450,000.

From the perspective of the ratio of the army to the population, Bavaria's proportion is not high, but don't forget that the Kingdom of Bavaria also undertakes a considerable part of the military production tasks of the Prussian Army! As the troops move in the direction of Ukraine, railway and infrastructure construction must also keep up, which also requires a lot of manpower. Of course, military power is like water in a sponge, which can always come out with a squeeze, but after all, it is the prince’s subject. The lessons learned in history made the prince reluctant to squeeze the power of the people too much.

"The problem is not big. We have now effectively controlled the Russian army in the Polish Pocket Campaign. They can take on some non-technical work, and the cost of these people is very low. Some of the officers are also willing to cooperate with us. "Calipte said. "Of course, if you are looking for efficiency, things will be more convenient."

Ruprecht naturally knew what Calypte meant by efficiency. But the prince is also unwilling to be ruthless with the Russians, because this part of the Russians will also be one of the basic things for the prince in the new territory in the future, and it is related to the social stability of the part of Ukraine that is merged into Bavaria.

If nothing else, the Bolsheviks will still rule Russia after the war. And these officers and troops who had been loyal to the Tsar were the result of liquidation even if they returned to their hometown in Russia after the end of the war. Perhaps if they continued to stay in Germany, the prince would ask for money (tax collection) at most. And if you return to China, it will be fatal. This is how the white Russia that lived in Europe and the Far East was formed in history. Even if they start to waver a little, they will have their own choices as the situation develops. Don't think that only the nobles rebelled against the Bolsheviks. In fact, at that time, it was the result of a multi-party melee between the Red Army, the White Army and anarchists. Otherwise, the Russian Civil War will not last that long.

The population is slowly accumulating. Bavaria has a population that far exceeds history. But it is not enough to rule the vast area after the war, so this group of people must also fight for it. But if you want to fight, you can't squeeze too hard.

"You can prepare some reserve teams appropriately, but don't throw them into the battlefield lightly. This time the Russians have mobilized troops from the Caucasus to support the Borusinov offensive. The pressure on the Turks should have been very small, so this battle will They should be allowed to contribute."

"I remember, you once said that there was a young Turkish general named Kemal who performed very well, right?" said the prince. In fact, for the future father of the Republic of Turkey, the prince has always been very concerned. To be honest, if the Allies win, it would be better for Kemal to take over the power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. This guy has the ability and ideals. . It is a good choice.

"That's it. Most officers in his army were trained in the Bavarian Army. He also studied in the German military academy. He has a certain understanding of our tactics and concepts. If you add appropriate equipment, It may not be possible to drive the French army into the sea, but it is still possible to consume the opponent with delay." Calipute said.

"That's good. We can deploy a part of the armored forces and officers to cooperate with them. The scale should not be large, but they must be elite. We also remind the Turks to do the work of stiffening the walls and clearing the fields. We must make it difficult for the French after landing."

"If possible, I hope that the final confrontation line between the Turkish Army and the landing French Army will be within 150 to 200 kilometers from the landing point, because this distance almost exceeds the length of the military-level supply line, unless the French invest a lot of money. Motor vehicles, otherwise, their supplies will always have problems, and this distance also provides space for us to intersperse behind." The prince said.

The prince needed a large-scale landing of the French in Turkey. On the one hand, it was naturally to contain more French troops, and on the other hand? how to say? The icing on the cake will not be appreciated. But giving charcoal in the snow makes people grateful. If the French did not fight harder, how could the Ottoman Empire remember the prince’s favor? And if you don’t know that the prince saved the whole of Turkey, what if Turkey wants too many benefits after the war?

Looking at the map, the Transcaucasus region is almost next to Turkey. If Turkey has to incorporate this place into it, will the prince give it or not? ! To be honest, although the Middle East will be the oil pole of the world in the future, before the end of World War II, the largest and most mature oil field in the entire Eurasian continent is the Baku oil field! If you are afraid of 20 million tons of fuel a year!

The prince can't give it, but he can't make the little brother of Turkey feel dissatisfied. After all, if from a geopolitical point of view, Turkey's strategic location directly across the Eurasian continent and connected to the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf is too great. Important! And it really has the potential to become a big country. Don't forget, the current Turkey is not the only Turkey in Asia Minor that was divided up in history. Today's Turkey includes the later generations of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and other places as well as the great empires along the coast of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula!

In the eyes of the prince, this is a very good source of raw materials and a dumping market for products. Naturally, we must attach great importance to this kind of ally, and at the same time, we must also smash...

From a military point of view, the maximum window period in the Balkans is about 40 to 50 days. The French found that it takes time for the Bavarian Army to enter Ukraine, and it takes time to raise troops for landing operations. Counting all the messy things after landing, the time they can really be used for advancing will not be long. And the size of the troops will not be large. After all, the French are the main force on the Western Front, and the total population of France is only 40 million... Even if you include the British and the Anzac, when the Bavarian Army returns, the size of the landing combat force should not exceed 300,000. In a fair situation, 8 to 10 Bavarian divisions with the help of a large number of elite Turkish troops defeated this force is really not a problem.

After thinking of this, the prince no longer worried about the situation in Turkey, and turned his attention to Ukraine again!
