1875 The power of policy 1
So how many troops can a newly established Prussian Federation have? It is estimated that it will be only about 280,000 at most. The military expenditure required for this amount of troops in peace is not a big piece of cake for Bavaria. After all, during peacetime, the equipment renewal speed and consumption speed are very slow. Moreover, after the war, the parliamentary faction will definitely receive some equipment, and the space for purchasing new equipment will be smaller. To put it bluntly, this condition is really useless!
"In my opinion, if the Parliament sent a new federation to organize its own independent army and gave us military expenses and let us take charge of their defense tasks, maybe I would consider it." The prince said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
"That is to say, you are not satisfied with the requests made by the German Emperor or the parliament? Is that true?" said Earl Schelling. "According to the principle of negotiation, we are unwilling to accept the offer they put forward. So now, it is time for us to make the offer. And do you have any ideas for our offer?"
"In fact, I have reached the level of no desire and no desire for territory, military power, and political rights within the federal government. I have obtained all the things I should get. Now I think we should do something in other aspects, such as the overall integration of the country and some legal aspects." Ruprecht said seriously.
"You mean to unify the postal, railway, and highway within the empire? We, Bavaria, have been independent for so many years, and Prussia wants to control us in these aspects, but what we didn't expect is that now, we have given up ourselves, which is really unexpected." Earl Schelling said with some emotion.
"Haha, we used to protect ourselves, and then for better development. In fact, the planning made by Prussia in these aspects is based on its own needs and is not in line with future development. In addition to these administrative matters, we also need to set up some coherent organizations to implement some large projects and projects, such as the development of Germany's overall aviation industry, the development and utilization of colonies, and some scientific and technological research and development work." Ruprecht said.
There are many major projects that require long-term investment and attention from the country, such as the Manhattan Project similar to the Second World War. There must be immediate worries without long-term considerations. In some key areas, such as aviation, nuclear weapons, electronic equipment, and basic science, the guidance and continuous support of national policies are key factors for the continued strength of the German Empire. As a time traveler, Crown Prince Ruprecht believes that no one in this world knows the future trend of earth science and technology development better than himself, so the Crown Prince wants to guide the entire German Empire to gain the upper hand in future development.
This kind of guidance cannot change due to the change of governments. It cannot be that the German Emperor's faction is in power today, and the entire project is promoted quickly. Then the next term is in power in parliamentary faction. This project will be cancelled directly? If this is the case, Germany will still be playing tricks! It has completely turned into populism!
Facts have proved that some cutting-edge industries are not only a problem of enterprises and R&D institutions, but also a problem of government and overall coordination. There are many very good projects or companies that do not die from competition or technology, but end up in a certain government document. The so-called enemy is on Capitol Hill, it is really not just a saying! For example, after the end of World War II, the decline of the British aviation industry is closely related to the government's cheating and corporate decision-making issues! It is not an exaggeration to say that the British government has cheated the aviation industry!
(This paragraph expresses the author's own feelings. If you feel that it is the number of words in water, you can think of it yourself. However, if you look at it, you will have another general understanding of the history of the British aviation industry. Well, everyone will decide for themselves)
Which aviation industry is better after the end of World War II? Not to mention the German Russians, even the US, which was at the peak of its power at the time, could only rank second in the aviation field! If it were aircraft and aviation engines, the Empire of Sun Never Setting had really reached its peak! Among the piston propeller engines, the Americans could still regain some face with the r2800 (the British Griffin Saber engine and centaur engine were also good, crushing other countries' air-cooled engines, which were not as good as r2800, r3350, etc., but it was still OK to say that a level was enough.) The liquid-cooled engine was left a few streets away by the British.
Well, if you want to say that these are yesterday's yellow flowers, they have entered the jet era, so you naturally have to look at the jet engine, so well, let's talk about jet engines!
Even in the 21st millennium, the British Rolls-Royce Engine Manufacturing Factory still shouldered the important task of fighting against Americans in the field of civilian engines. In the field of military, the ej200 is also the top medium-thrust engine on the planet! However, this is too far from when the British Empire was at its peak.
At the end of World War II, two German companies developed jet engines, such as Yumo's Jumo004 series and BMW's BMW003 series. The former is the standard equipment of the famous German aircraft Me262. Although the latter has no name in World War II, it is the originator of a very famous engine in later generations. The French Ata engine was modified based on the BMW003. The Phantom 3, 4, 5 and the Super Military Flag used the Ata engine, and the famous M53 engine of the later generations is actually related to the BMW003.
However, what about the British? There were 4 jet engines at that time! They all produced good products. The most famous one was naturally the famous Rolls-Royce engine manufacturer. The Nyon series engines he produced were the originator of the first generation of jet fighter engines in various countries in the world at that time! Whether it is the American f84, f86, or the MiG15, and MiG17. The engine issues can be traced back to the Nyon engine. In terms of performance, when the jumo04 engine cannot play with 800kg thrust, the Nyon engine has reached 2,000 kg, and its stability is very good! As for the later Rolls-Royce products? Look at the engine of the Airbus passenger plane, look at the rb199 engine and the later ej200 engine, there is no need to say more?
The second thing to talk about is Bristol Engine Company. This company had two brands in the early days of the jet era. One is the Orpheus series and the other is the Olympus series. The former is a small engine. Let's not mention it for now. If you want to talk about the Olympus series, it is very famous in the aviation industry? Do you know the Olympus 593 engine? The famous Concorde airliner uses this engine! The maximum thrust is 139.4 thousand nm and the afterburner thrust is 169.2 thousand nm! This is an engine from the 1960s! Just ask if you are afraid, just ask if you are awesome!
