Jagged Germany

Chapter 135: Pig teammate (for collection)



   "Oscar, tell me about your military reform in the Eighth Army!" William II said.

   "Yes, father." Qin Tian nodded.

"The current military system implemented by the 8th Army has only one purpose, which is to flatten the command system so as to improve the efficiency of command as much as possible. We have temporarily removed the 'brigade-level unit', and the division directly governs each regiment. In order to simplify the command system. If the conditions are ripe in the future, we will further simplify it." Qin Tian confessed his thoughts.

  With the advancement of technology, especially the advancement of communication equipment, the command system has been flattened, which is already achievable. It was Qin Tian's attempt to cut down the brigade-level units first. If possible, he plans to cut down the 'army' unit in the future and let the group army headquarters directly command each division. In this way, the command system can be simplified more.

  After listening to Qin Tian's explanation, everyone nodded involuntarily. Everyone, including William II, believed that Qin Tian's reforms would undoubtedly be very beneficial to improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

   "I didn't expect Oscar to have such excellent talent in the management of the army. If he is proficient in the army and navy at the same time, I have nothing to worry about in terms of army command." William II thought secretly.

  The crown prince of the empire may not be a military strategist, but he must understand military affairs. The German Empire and even its predecessor, the Kingdom of Prussia, were established by force. This makes the emperor of the empire must have military talents. Before, William II was worried that Qin Tian only understood the navy, not the army. Now it seems that he was worrying too much. William II also had to admit that Qin Tian was a more suitable candidate for crown prince.

  Von Falkenhain and General Waldsee also nodded repeatedly. Of course they can see that Qin Tian's reforms are beneficial to the army. They even want to promote it to other troops if they can.

  But the faces of Xiao Moqi and Plitvicz are not so good-looking. If it proves that Qin Tian's reforms are beneficial, wouldn't their goals be impossible to achieve? This will also make William II dissatisfied with them.

"His Royal Highness, this is just your one-sided statement. Your reforms in the 8th Army have already caused dissatisfaction among many generals and officers. If they cannot calm down their anger, this will bring great trouble. Yes." Little Mao Qi said.

   "Oh? Are there really many officers and generals who are dissatisfied? Why don't I know this. I'm curious, how do you know this?" Qin Tian looked at Little Maoqi and Prittwitz with a half-smile.

   "Huh! Your Royal Highness, there is no need to change the subject. Of course we have our channels." Plittwitz looked confident.

   "Father, how about this, you send people to the 8th Army to investigate on the spot and see if there are any generals and officers who are really dissatisfied. If there are really, and there are many, I am willing to be punished." Qin Tian said.

  He knew that the reform of the military system certainly made some people dissatisfied. But they have used various methods to minimize this dissatisfaction. Even if some people are dissatisfied, it is definitely a very small number of people. Most people have already accepted the reform of the military system.

  Little Mao Qi and Lieutenant General Prittwitz immediately looked happy. They seemed to have seen that Qin Tian was punished by William II and transferred from the 8th Army. Lieutenant General Prittwitz even thought, if Qin Tian was transferred from the 8th Army, wouldn't he be able to return to the 8th Army? Even returned to the 8th Army as the commander of the above general. At that time, all the humiliation on him will be washed away.

  King William II froze for a moment, wanting to say something. But seeing the confidence on Qin Tian's face, he could only nod in agreement. William II believed that Qin Tian would not fight unprepared. With Qin Tian's intelligence, he would definitely not leave any clues waiting for others to catch him.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only reformed the military system in the 8th Army, but also changed the firepower equipment of the troops without authorization. I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately profiting for his own company, which is very inappropriate." Puli Tvetz jumped out again. Judging by his appearance, he wished he could completely trample Qin Tian to the ground all at once.

  William II looked at Prittwitz with a hint of disgust, thinking that this guy was too aggressive.

  Little Maoqi saw this scene, and suddenly cried out in his heart. In his opinion, this guy Plitvic is simply a pig teammate!

   "Oscar, tell everyone!" William II said.

   "Yes, Royal Father!" Qin Tian nodded, not at all worried about Prittwitz's question.

   "The reason why the Eighth Army adopted the weapons of the Deutsche Arms Company on a large scale is because only the Deutsche Arms Company can provide us with those weapons. Of course, the artillery is purchased from the Krupp Company." Qin Tian explained.

   Subsequently, he also revealed to everyone the firepower equipment of the 8th Army's troops at all levels.

  Everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded after learning that every infantry division under the 8th Army was equipped with such powerful firepower.

   "Your Highness, is this really an infantry division? Such firepower is too strong!" General Waldsee was speechless.

"Yes, Your Majesty. An infantry division with so many machine guns, excluding mortars and grenadiers, has 54 75mm field guns, 36 105mm howitzers and 18 150mm heavy howitzers. The firepower is really too powerful." Von Falkenhain was also speechless.

   With such a powerful firepower, as long as the people of the 8th Army are not fools, other troops will have no way to compare with them!

  Little Mao Qi and Plitvice were also very shocked. They were also shocked by the powerful firepower of the 8th Army.

   "His Royal Highness, you need to spend a lot of military expenses to equip the 8th Army with such powerful firepower, right? The military expenses of the current Imperial Army are not rich, and there is no extra military expenses for you at all." Xiao Maoqi said.

"Equipment with such powerful firepower requires a large amount of military expenditure. If there is such military expenditure, it is better to mobilize more troops. It is a big mistake for His Royal Highness to do so." Lieutenant General Prittwitz triumphantly Said.

   "I don't need to bother you about the military expenses. The military expenses of the 8th Army only need to be paid normally. I will be responsible for all the extra military expenses." Qin Tian said coldly.
