"His Royal Highness, this is our current loss of the Bavarian Air Force on the Western Front in the past week." When sitting at the desk and the prince was about to start his day's work, General Halder sent a document to the prince. .
"The last week's data seems to be a bit bad." Looking at the documents sent, Ruprecht frowned and said.
"That's it. The British air force has become more cautious after the initial blow, and they have transferred a large number of aircraft from the mainland. It is said that more than 500 various aircraft have been drawn from the navy alone, and this The number continues to increase. Our long-range reconnaissance aircraft in the Navy is also constantly verifying this situation. From the current point of view, at least eight air bases on the west coast of the UK can no longer find a twin-engine bomber. According to the front line Contributions of captured British pilots. They did serve in the Naval Air Force before, but now they are all thrown into the bottomless pit of the Western Front." General Halder said.
"This is really good news for us." Ruprecht finished speaking and glanced at the loss of his own air force at the end of the document. Our own fleet also lost more than 200 planes during this period, and more than 300 pilots were lost. At least one third of the Bavarian Air Forces that took part in the war were lost. The Anglo-French air force on the western front is really not a good match.
"We will send another 300 fighters and 150 interceptors, 250 bombers, and my father-in-law, if it is convenient for him, I hope that the Austro-Hungarian Empire can also send about 500 aircraft to support the empire. Fight in the air on the western front." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.
"His Royal Highness, our previous plan was to completely replenish the previous battle damage within a week. This is more than 200 aircraft. With the addition of the new number, our possession of aircraft on the western front will be as high as 1,300. And the cumulative input will be as high as 1,900. After all, we still have to provide some reserve aircraft. With the entry of the air force, there will be at least 60,000 to 70,000 ground crews. As you know, the auxiliary personnel of the Western Empire are basically Unable to cope with the sudden increase in the fleet, ground crews, mechanics, air defense forces, and even infrastructure and engineers need us to supplement." General Halder thought for a while and said.
"This is an investment sooner or later, we will eventually use a saber with Prussia to force England and France to submit. Now is the best investment point. There is a saying that it is better to give charcoal in the snow instead of icing on the cake." Ruprecht thought for a while and said. "In addition, the heavy artillery units and some technical arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire should also be invested immediately. Now Britain and France are still dreaming of using the last opportunity. They are on the offensive. We can make them shed more blood at this time. If His Majesty Austria has any If in doubt, I will ask for it myself."
Ruprecht was very satisfied with the effect of the Bavarian Air Force entering the western front. Not only did he relieve the pressure on the western front, he improved his reputation within the empire, but more importantly, he realized the limits of the British! The British military and industrial capacity have reached their peak and are beginning to enter a period of rapid decline. The military production capacity has been unable to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army in a balanced manner, so that they had to demolish the east wall to supplement the west wall. The forcible naval aviation force into the western front is a very obvious example.
In the eyes of the prince, the British approach was a very strategic failure. If the British still want to fight, they should use the winter period to rest and accumulate strength for the decisive battle next year. After all, they continue to launch offensives throughout the year. No one can stand the consumption. If you realize that you cannot win, then prepare for peace talks. If Britain and France ask for peace talks at this time, then Germany is really at a disadvantage, not to say that it will lose anything. Under the current circumstances, for Ruprecht. It is a loss if you don’t have enough things in the first battle!
If the crown prince comes to the layout, then it will definitely turn to the defensive across the board, and at the same time prepare for peace talks, and the navy and powerful naval aviation will become the greatest support for the British to ensure that they will not lose a bit of land. Not only can the security of the homeland be guaranteed, the Germans' idea of attacking the British colony is also impossible! This is the so-called stop loss. But now? The British not only didn't think about stopping losses, but also wanted to fight it? And such gamblers generally lose miserably...
Any gambling has a price! The British gave up the safest way and decided to sell blood and liver, so good, what is the price? The last fuse of the British Empire-the Great Fleet and its naval aviation were taken down by the British themselves! If Ruprecht had some worries about handling the British navy before, then this time to use a later sentence, I really don’t know how to lose! And what will happen to Britain after the navy is hit hard? It may not be possible to completely kill Britain, but it is okay to severely tear a piece from the British colony!
So This time, Ruprecht gave Asquith a thumbs-up, and wondered if he could give him a British war sink when he met him after the war. A medal made from the steel plate of the battleship. In recognition of his achievements as "Burial of the Royal Navy"! And now, Ruprecht hopes to further magnify the British strategic mistakes! The most critical step is to continue to increase the pressure on the British Air Force on the western front.
Actually, this air battle also suffered a heavy loss for the Bavarian Air Force. Only a few weeks have passed? With the Prussian Air Force sharing most of the pressure, the Bavarian Air Force also lost more than 200 aircraft. There are also a lot of maintenance in the hangar. According to the latest information, the Bavarian Air Force has the lowest attendance rate on a day, and the number of available aircraft is only less than 40% of the holdings!
So, in order to relieve the Bavarian Air Force, Ruprecht decided to let his old man help share some pressure. Although the Austro-Hungarian Air Force is the fourth in the Warring States, it has not suffered too much loss. It is not a problem for him to send 500 planes to crush it first, at least in the military.
Of course, it is undeniable that in addition to military significance, it also has very important political significance. At least when Queen Mary is enthroned, there will be less backlash from the German military. In fact, in addition to the German Emperor, there will be less backlash from the German military. Some Junker nobles and members of the officer regiment did not care about who inherited the Austrian Emperor. And if the Austro-Hungarian Army can win the favor of the Germans on the Western Front, then Ruprecht is really not afraid!
