"Oscar, tell me about your military reform in the 8th Army!" Wilhelm II said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes, Father." Qin Tian nodded.

"The military system now implemented by the 8th Army Corps has only one purpose, which is to flatten the command system and thus improve the efficiency of command as much as possible. We have temporarily eliminated the 'brigade units' and put the division under direct control over each regiment, thus simplifying the command structure. If the conditions are ripe in the future, we will further simplify it. Qin Tian shared his thoughts and thoughts.

With the advancement of several departments of science and technology, especially communication equipment, it is already possible to flatten the command system. Cutting down the brigade-level units first was exactly an attempt by Qin Tian. If he could, he would also be prepared to cut off the unit of the 'army' in the future and let the group army headquarters directly command each division. In this way, the command system can be simplified.

After listening to Qin Tian's explanation, everyone nodded involuntarily. Including Wilhelm II, they all believed that Qin Tian's reform in this way would undoubtedly be very beneficial to improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

"I didn't expect Oscar to have such an excellent talent in the management of the army. At the same time, I am proficient in the army and navy, and I have nothing to worry about when it comes to army command. Wilhelm 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 the former Kingdom of Prussia, were founded by force. This makes the emperor of the empire have to have military talents. Before, Wilhelm II was also worried that Qin Tian only knew the navy, not the army. Now it seems that he is overthinking. Wilhelm II also had to admit that Qin Tian was a more suitable candidate for the crown prince.

Feng? Falkenhain and General Waldzer also nodded again and again. Of course, they could see the benefits of Qin Tian's reform to the army. If they can, they even want to promote it to other troops.

But the faces of Moltke and Plitwitz are not so good-looking. If it was proved that Qin Tian's reforms were beneficial, wouldn't their purpose be unattainable? This will also make Wilhelm II unhappy with them as well.

"Your Royal Highness, this is just your words. You are in the 8th Army Corps, and your reform has caused dissatisfaction among many generals and officers. If you can't calm their anger, it's going to be a big problem. Moltke said.

"Oh? Are there really a lot of officers and generals who are dissatisfied? How I don't know. I'm curious, how do you know this? Qin Tian looked at Moltke and Plitwitz with a smile.

"Humph! His Royal Highness, there is no need to change the subject. Of course we have our channels. Plitwitz looked confident.

"Father, in that case, you can send someone to the 8th Army Corps to investigate the field and see if there are really any generals and officers who are dissatisfied. If there really is, and a lot, I'm willing to be punished. Qin Tian said.

He knew that the reform of the military system had certainly made some people dissatisfied. But they have tried to minimize this discontent. Even if there are people who are dissatisfied, it is definitely a very small number of people. Most of them have already accepted the military reform.

Little Moltke and Lieutenant General Plitwitz immediately looked happy, as if they had seen Qin Tian punished by Wilhelm II and transferred from the 8th Army Corps. Lieutenant General Plitwitz even thought that if Qin Tian was transferred out of the 8th Army Corps, wouldn't he be able to return to the 8th Army Corps? And even returned to the 8th Army Corps as a commander of the generals. When the time comes, all the humiliation on his body will be washed away.

Wilhelm II was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something. But seeing the confidence on Qin Tian's face, he had to nod in agreement. Wilhelm II believed that Qin Tian would not fight an unprepared battle. With Qin Tian's cleverness, he would never leave a handle waiting for others to catch him.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only carried out military reform in the 8th Army Corps, but also changed the fire equipment of the troops without authorization. In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately making profits for his own enterprises, which is very undeserved. Plitwitz jumped out again. Looking at his appearance, he wished that Qin Tian would be completely trampled down at once.

Wilhelm II looked at Plitwitz with a hint of disgust in his eyes, thinking that this guy was too aggressive.

When Moltke saw this scene, he suddenly screamed in his heart. In his opinion, this guy Plitwitz is simply a pig teammate!

"Oscar, let's talk about it!" Wilhelm II said.

"Yes, Father!" Qin Tian nodded, not at all worried about Plitwitz's questioning.

"The reason why the 8th Army Corps massively adopted the weapons of the Deutsche Arms Company was because only the Deutsche Arms Company was able to supply us with those weapons. Of course, the artillery side was purchased from the Krupp company. Qin Tian explained.

Subsequently, he also revealed the firepower of the troops at all levels of the 8th Army Corps to the crowd.

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

"Your Highness, is this really an infantry division? This kind of firepower is too strong! General Waldzer was speechless.

"Yes, Your Highness. An infantry division with so many machine guns, not counting mortars and grenadiers, has 54 75-mm field guns, 36 105-mm howitzers and 18 150-mm heavy howitzers. This kind of firepower is too powerful. "Feng? Falkenhain was also speechless.

With such powerful firepower, as long as those people in the 8th Army are not stupid, there is no way for other troops to compare with them!

Moltke Jr. and Plitwitz were also shocked. They were also shocked by the 8th Army's fierce firepower.

"Your Royal Highness, you need to spend a lot of military money to equip the 8th Army with such powerful firepower, right? Now the military budget of the Imperial Army is not rich, and there is no extra military budget for you at all. Moltke said.

"Equipping such a powerful firepower would have cost a lot of military spending, and with these military spending, it would be better to mobilize more troops. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a big mistake in doing so. Lieutenant General Plitwitz said triumphantly.

"You won't have to worry about the issue of military spending. The military expenses of the 8th Army Corps only need to be paid normally. I am responsible for all the additional military expenses incurred. Qin Tian said coldly.
