"Your Majesty, if we organize according to this standard. Then, our army's firepower will be strengthened unprecedentedly. "This will definitely increase the pressure on our logistics. If the logistics could not keep up, the combat effectiveness of the troops would be greatly reduced.”Vonfalkenhain also expressed his concern.
"Gentlemen, I understand your concerns. However, I believe that these problems are not unsolvable. From now on, the Imperial Army would strengthen the construction of logistics support. All the troops were equipped with mules and horses to pull cannons and transport supplies. However, I hope that we can gradually use trucks to eliminate mules and horses.
Even though the performance of the current trucks was still relatively backward. "But I believe that as long as we increase our investment in this area, we will be able to derive trucks with more advanced performance, greater load capacity, and more reliability.
At that time, the truck could not only be used to tow cannons, but also to transport supplies. Even when the infantrymen were marching, they did not need to travel on their legs and directly rode in cars. "This way, not only can we greatly increase the speed at which our infantry troops advance, but we can also ensure that our soldiers can enter the battlefield in an excellent condition.”
Liu Chuan's suggestion made the generals of the Germanic Empire's army's eyes light up, as if it had pointed out a new path for them.
"Your Majesty, can the truck really reach our target?”Lieutenant General Little Foggy asked.
If this could not be achieved, then everything would be very problematic.
"Of course, I firmly believe in this. Next, August Mining Company would set up a company to produce trucks. We will be researching and developing trucks specifically. We will definitely be able to develop a suitable truck in the near future. At that time, the various units of the Imperial Army would be equipped with a large number of trucks. Not only could it effectively solve the logistics problem, but it could also further increase the speed of the army.”Liu Chuan said.
The generals nodded. If the Imperial Army could really equip a large number of trucks, then this problem would undoubtedly be solved.
Of course, the demand for oil would also skyrocket after a large number of trucks were equipped.
The German Empire was also a country that lacked oil. Next, they had to make a good oil reserve. Otherwise, once the war broke out, the sea trade route would be cut off. The vehicles, tanks, and armored vehicles were all broken down because they did not have enough fuel, turning into piles of scrap metal. If that was the case, the trouble would be huge.
"Gentlemen, the population of the Empire is only around sixty million. This also means that even if a war breaks out, we can only mobilize a few million troops. As for our enemies, although their population is not as large as ours. However, there are also people with a larger population than us. More importantly, the Empire had too many enemies.
The population of Gaul is close to 40 million, the population of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets is more than 45 million, and the population of the Russian Empire is as high as 140 million, more than twice our population. The total population of these three main enemies is more than 200 million, almost four times that of ours.
Moreover, this was without taking into account the overseas colonies of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets and the Kingdom of Gaul. Once the war broke out, they would be able to continuously obtain more soldiers from the overseas colonies. In that case, our population will be at an even greater disadvantage.
Therefore, every single one of our soldiers is precious. In future wars, we must try our best to increase the combat strength of our troops and further strengthen their equipment. This is to ensure that we can reduce our losses as much as possible when we win. Only in this way can we obtain the final victory with the smallest price. Only then can we obtain a complete victory!”
Liu Chuan said sincerely to the generals.
The Germanic Empire had advanced technology and a powerful military.
The most obvious shortcoming, other than the lack of resources, was the lack of population.
Although the German Empire still had a hardcore ally, the Austro-Hun Empire.
However, the generals of the Germanic Empire were very clear about the character of the Austro-Hun Empire's army. They couldn't pin all their hopes on them.
Therefore, in the future war, the Germanic Empire's army could only rely on itself.
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. The General Staff will do their best to push forward the reorganization of the army!”General Schliefen expressed his attitude after a short silence.
Vonfalkenhain, Lieutenant General Lil Moqi, and the other generals all agreed.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Liu Chuan couldn't help but smile.
He had made the right bet. These generals would still be willing to think for the sake of the German Empire.
"Gentlemen, I plan to reorganize the Imperial Army into thirty infantry divisions.”Liu Chuan continued.
