The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 416: Give

"Are you crazy? A coup d'état is to be staged if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy?" The prince said in surprise.

"It is precisely because of the invasion of foreign enemies that our military can implement military control! The die-hards must be suppressed, and if your country supports us, then in the case of foreign enemies invading, the neutrals will choose us who have the best chance to take power. . And only with the state power, we can concentrate the power of the whole country against the Italians. Only then can we have enough funds for your country’s military expenditure.” Chefkay said with a smile.

"You are so bold." The prince exclaimed.

"If your country is also forced to desperate, you must be bolder than me!" General Shefkai smiled bitterly. "Mind if I smoke a cigarette?

"Whatever. This is a private occasion," the prince said.

"The glory of my motherland is gone, and I have become a weak patient. The Russians, the British, and the Italians now want to tear a piece of meat from us. I once demanded myself by the standards of a soldier, hoping The country can be saved, but the situation has not improved."

"I gradually realized that it was not me who was at fault, but this country. The government of this country is decayed. Sudan is arrogant and ignorant. There is nothing we can do no matter how hard we try. So we started looking for all like-minded people who can help. Our people, we have looked for Englishmen and Frenchmen, but they all failed. You are the best partner at the moment, and we will give you enough rewards for your efforts. The day after tomorrow, you will You can see my sincerity!" General Xiefukai said earnestly.

"In addition, no matter whether your country helps us or not, we will still do our best to preserve our land. The Young Turkish Party and the Turkish army will organize volunteers to go to Africa, and it is difficult for us to draw enough weapons to arm them in a short time. I hope Bavaria can provide some help, and we will pay the relevant payment at the normal price." General Chevkai said. The general’s army needs to deal with domestic enemies and be vigilant against the Balkans. It is naturally difficult to draw enough weapons to arm this lone army that is about to be sent abroad. The reason why it agreed to hand over the bank account to the prince was actually for the purpose Buy weapons!

"How many weapons do you want?" the prince asked simply.

"Our volunteer army has at least 6000 people!" Xie Fukai thought for a while and said.

"Very well, we will send a teaching team of 100 people to guide this unit on how to fight. The weapons they need can be prepared within 5 days and shipped to Africa within half a month." The prince's answer was also very good. simply.

The 6,000-person force is only the strength of two infantry regiments. Now the Bavarian conventional force has four corps and more than one hundred thousand people. Some stocks collected from the arsenal are enough for these people. This is not difficult for the prince. But at the same time, the prince also reminded General Shefkai to prepare more supplies and prepare for long-term combat.

After two days, the prince did see the "sincerity" of the Turks. After informing the Turks, the prince decisively set aside a total of 150,000 pounds of funds for the initial "start-up funds" including but not limited to arms sold to the Turks, expenses for expatriates, and various supplies. and many more.

Combining the situation in Africa, as well as the quality and equipment level of the Italian army, the prince believes that his machine gun carriage and mortar carriage have a lot of room for display. Libya is very large, with 1.75 million square kilometers of land, and most areas are deserts. If you rely on infantry to act, it is indeed very cheating... Even if it is just a slip of the coastline, the area is not small.

And at the beginning, Italy will definitely not send many ground troops. Although Italy is very weak, they often despise the enemy... It is impossible to build a complete front. So everyone is mobile combat. At this time, the mobile party will have the advantage. For a country that also admires cavalry, other things may be lacking, but horses will not be lacking. In the history of Italian-Turkish wars, most of the Turkish and tribal troops were cavalry...

As for the combat effectiveness of the Italian army? The prince vaguely remembered that the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army was the lowest before Italy entered the war, but after Italy entered the war, the situation changed...

In the Second Battle of Izonzo on July 18, 1905. The Italian army gathered 250,000 troops and attacked the 78,000 Austro-Hungarian troops on the opposite side. However, it hit August 3, for half a month, and failed to break through the opponent's position... The Russians' evaluation of Italy after the war was that the weak artillery could not break the defensive system composed of barbed wire, trenches and bunkers, could not provide cover for offensive troops, the attack power was scattered, and the coordination of infantry artillery was very poor... Basically no advantages!

The artillery was sad enough at the beginning of Austria-Hungary. To be honest, even the Russians are not as good as the Russians, but who would have thought that Italy would be more sad! With three times the strength, the Italians could not break the Austro-Hungarian defense line, and according to historical records, in this area alone, the two sides repeatedly saw at least 8 times!

Let’s put it this way~lightnovelpub.net~ Germany pushed Russia with one hand, Russia beat Austria-Hungary with one hand, and half-disabled Austria-Hungary with one hand blocked Italy..... .. Therefore, unlike the Boer regiment facing the British, the Turks can obtain army firepower equivalent to the Italian level without any heavy weapons. A large number of machine guns and mortars are enough. Moreover, the production of mortar shells is simple, and the shells of the shells can be cast iron, which does not affect the lethality at all.

On the third day, Xiao Maoqi took the Kaiser's manuscript to the Bavarian palace again. The content of the manuscript was very simple. The prince is solely responsible for all actions against Italy. In addition to mobilizing the Bavarian army, the Imperial Navy can also be mobilized when necessary, but before the mobilization, the Kaiser must be informed, and if it is an auxiliary battleship, Tyre can be notified. Pitts, then act directly.

In terms of diplomacy, the German emperor supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this disciplinary action against Italy in principle, and the prince could discuss related matters on behalf of the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The prince who saw this couldn't help cursing William II, you are really cunning!

It is not convenient for Germany to take a direct shot, so it allowed Austria to take a shot. Anyway, Italy and Austria-Hungary have been enemies for many years. Even for allies, it is normal for both sides to make some secret actions. Germany is again in the middle of the balance. Well, it’s a good choice, and this time it’s for the prince to speak on behalf of Germany and Austria-Hungary, which makes it difficult for the prince to do both. He tends to Germany, his grandfather and wife are unhappy, and he tends to Austria-Hungary, will be scolded by the country...
