"Hello, Your Royal Highness!" The day after receiving a new appointment, Paul? Feng? Admiral Hindenburg and Erich? Feng? Brigadier General Ludendorff came to report to Qin Tian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As you can see from the colors of the two, they are in a good mood. Although the 8th Army Corps ranked low among the many corps of the German Army and had a rather difficult task in future wars, it was undoubtedly very happy to be promoted.

Especially Paul? Feng? Hindenburg, who, having offended Wilhelm II, once thought that his promotion was hopeless. But now, he is not only the deputy commander of the 8th Army, but also the deputy of the crown prince, and as long as he can have a good relationship with the crown prince, the future will be very bright.

Erich? The same goes for Ludendorff. Now he is only in his early thirties. Exceptionally promoted to brigadier general, which is undoubtedly very rare in the German Army. This means that his future prospects are limitless.

"Two generals, please take a seat." Qin Tian didn't put any crown prince in front of these two famous generals. This was an important assistant that he would be able to rely on in the 8th Army and in the future wars. If Qin Tian wanted to further control the military power and consolidate his position, he had to cultivate his own henchmen in the army. In Qin Tian's mind, names flashed one by one, Manstein, Rommel, Guderian, ....... Hindenburg and Ludendorff would be his first steps in direct control of military power.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really as approachable as the legend says." Facing the kind and pleasant Qin Tian, Hindenburg and Ludendorff couldn't help but have such thoughts in their minds.

After the attendant brought the coffee, Qin Tian's conversation with them got to the point.

"General Hindenburg, General Ludendorff, the appointment of you as deputy commander and acting chief of staff of the 8th Army Corps was sought from my father. Although I was appointed commander of the 8th Army Corps, you should all know that I did not come from the Army. Perhaps, I can make some suggestions on army building and even tactics. But overall, it's still far from being comparable to you professionals. Therefore, I hope that you can assist me well in the coming days, and strive to build the 8th Army into a stronger army, and obtain greater results in future wars! Qin Tian looked at Hindenburg and Ludendorff with a sincere face.

Both Hindenburg and Ludendorff were moved by Qin Tian's frankness. Qin Tian is only twenty years old now, but he is in a high position and talented, but he is not proud and complacent at all. There are very few people who can do this.

What's more, Hindenburg and Ludendorff were originally traditional German Imperial aristocratic soldiers, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, which is also the creed they adhered to.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, in the future, we will definitely assist Your Highness well." Admiral Hindenburg said.

Brigadier General Ludendorff nodded heavily.

"Very well, so I'm much more relieved. The two of them should be aware of the Schlieffen plan. Therefore, once the war breaks out, the task of our 8th Army Corps will be very difficult. We will have to use ten divisions to resist the attack of the Russians, who are millions of troops. Therefore, in order to be able to win the war in the future, we must do everything possible to arm the 8th Army Corps in the next few years, arm the entire Army to the teeth. I will find a way to provide the 8th Army Corps with the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world, the most powerful firepower! Qin Tian assured.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will those weapons developed by Deutsche Arms be equipped with the 8th Army Corps?" Hindenburg asked.

Deutsche Arms developed a series of advanced weapons, but due to Moltke's obstruction, it was not able to equip troops on a large scale, which Hindenburg, as a senior general of the German Army, knew very well.

Qin Tian nodded: "After we have complete control of the 8th Legion, a large number of advanced weapons will arrive at the 8th Legion." ”

As a legion that he had built with all his might, Qin Tian had to make sure that this legion was under his control.

Both Hindenburg and Ludendorff nodded their heads in understanding.

"Your Royal Highness, but relying on the military expenses of the 8th Army alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to support His Highness's plan." Admiral Hindenburg frowned. After all, military spending is only a small amount, and if you want to change equipment on a large scale, it is simply not enough.

"Regarding military spending, you don't have to worry, I'll figure it out." Qin Tian said in a big way. He has already made up his mind that if the military is not enough, he will pay out of his own pocket. Anyway, the 8th Army must be armed to the teeth to gain an overwhelming advantage in future wars.

Hindenburg and Ludendorff suddenly stopped bothering about this problem, they also knew that Qin Tian was a big businessman who was rich and rivaled, and his annual income was very considerable, and a little bit of it was enough to arm the 8th Army to the teeth.

"What do you think of the 8th Legion?" Qin Tian asked.

Although, Qin Tian also collected some information about the 8th Legion. But the data on paper is certainly not as comprehensive as professionals like Hindenburg and Ludendorff know.

"Your Highness, the 8th Army Corps has a total of ten infantry divisions, divided into three corps and one infantry division. In addition, there is a reserve army. If full, the entire legion had an army of more than 160,000 men. In the event of war, the total number of troops will exceed 200,000 after mobilization. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, there is a certain gap compared with the first-line corps. Hindenburg introduced to Qin Tian.

Through the introduction of Hindenburg, Qin Tian had a general understanding of the 8th Army Corps. That is his troops, and he will command this army, and in the future wars, defeat strong enemies, and strive to shine in the war.

"Two, let's take care of your personal affairs these days. Three days later, we set off for Königsberg. Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Both Hindenburg and Ludendorff nodded immediately. They also knew that this appointment as deputy commander and acting chief of staff of the 8th Army Corps would be an important opportunity for them, and it could be called a new beginning in their military career.

In the next few days, Qin Tian prepared for the 8th Army Corps, and at the same time, he also asked Deutsche Arms to expand production. Once in control of the 8th Legion, Qin Tian will begin a large-scale redress within the entire legion, arming this legion to the teeth.
