ps: The study time is tight, so I will temporarily stop updating for two weeks, I'm sorry.
In a wing room less than two hundred meters away from the reception room, Li Mingyuan held in his hand the information on the members of the German delegation collected by the Military Intelligence Department.
"Gottlieb von Hazeler, a Prussian Junker noble, was born in 1836. He fought cautiously and adhered to the tradition of Prussian officers. He participated in the 1864 Prussian-Danish War, the 1866-Austro-Prussian War, the 187o Franco-Prussian War, and was promoted to the German Army in 1877
Colonel of the General Staff, responsible for research on German military history.
"August von Mackensen was born in Wittenberg, Saxony in 1849. He learned equestrian skills from his grandfather who was a cavalry officer since he was a child. In 1869, he joined the army and joined the Prussian "Death Hussars". He distinguished himself during the Franco-Prussian War.
He was promoted to second lieutenant, lieutenant in 1876, and captain in 1878. He was an excellent cavalry officer.
Kolma von der Goltz was born in 1843 to a landowning family in East Prussia. When she was two years old, her family fell into financial difficulties and the land in her family was sold. When she was six years old, her father died of illness in the army. At the age of 18, she joined the army and joined the Prussian Army.
He served in the 41st Infantry Regiment. In 1871, he was transferred to the Prussian General Staff with the rank of lieutenant. In 1876, he was kicked out of the General Staff because he did not conform to the concepts of the German officer corps. In 1878, he was promoted to the rank of captain.
Kolmar von der Goltz has excellent military skills and a unique overall concept. It is said that Moltke valued him..."
After reading the intelligence introductions of more than a dozen German officers, Li Mingyuan discovered that among them were several famous future German Army generals.
"Count Gottlieb von Hezelle, Field Marshal of the German Army, committed suicide after the collapse of the Second German Reich.
August von Mackensen was a famous mobile warfare general who defeated Russian troops many times in World War I.
Kolma von der Goltz, who served as the officer representative stationed in the Ottoman Army in 1883, presided over the reform of the Ottoman Army and transformed the backward Ottoman Army into a modern army. In 1897, he commanded the training of the Ottoman Army.
The army defeated the Greek army and he was a strategic master with a comprehensive view of the military and political situation.
Remus von Walch, in June 1916, defeated the Brushilov Offensive launched by the Russian army in central Russia. During World War I, he was an important general on the German Eastern Front.
Hermann von Eichhorn, a famous artillery general in World War I..."
In the past fifty years, many outstanding military generals have emerged from the Second German Empire. Li Mingyuan's strong moral foundation can be seen from the five future famous generals in the official delegation to Han Dynasty.
The five German officers with the potential to be famous generals are all excellent instructors needed by the Army Officer School. However, compared with the other four, Li Mingyuan admires Kolmar von der Goltz, who is different from traditional Prussian officers.
Kolmar von der Goltz was good at thinking about military issues from the perspective of national interests and strategy. During the Ottoman Empire, Kolma von der Goltz used his control over the import of German weapons to reject everything
He successfully persuaded the Ottoman Sultan to train the army according to the plan he formulated, and cultivated a group of outstanding young officers for the modern Republic of Turkey.
Kolmar von der Goltz was not only an excellent military commander, but also an excellent strategic theorist. After returning from the Ottomans, he personally compiled a military book called
A series of policies such as war and war production were explained in detail.
This book created the concept of people's war, which later provided the theoretical basis for the German Third Reich to move towards militarism, and was recognized by leaders such as Hitler and Stalin.
Kolmar von der Goltz began to think about how Germany would deal with the decisive battle with France after the Franco-Prussian War. The sudden rise of Han in South America and the trinity of national mobilization system adopted by Li Mingyuan based on the influence of later generations may have caused
His interest gave rise to the idea of arriving in South America to investigate and learn from it.
Li Mingyuan roughly guessed the real purpose of Kolmar von der Goltz's coming to Han, but he did not think that Kolmar von der Goltz's idea would do any harm to Han. Han and
Germany has close trade relations, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two countries separated by the vast Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, even if Kolmar von der Goltz applies the experience of the Han inspection to Germany
, will only increase Germany's strength in World War I, but will not have a significant impact on the political situation in South America.
After spending half an hour carefully reading the introductions of each member of the officer corps, Li Mingyuan waved to a guard to destroy the information, stood up and left the wing...
In the reception hall, Li Mingyuan spoke with each German in a gentle manner and then started the topic of the meeting.
"Count Gottlieb von Hazeler has rich military experience. I would like to appoint you as a military adviser to the Wehrmacht to assist the Wehrmacht Staff Headquarters in planning troop training. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I need to gain decision-making authority over the training of your army. If you agree, I am willing to accept the position of military advisor."
"I believe in the count's ability." Li Mingyuan nodded and said to Liu Pu, "Chief of Staff Liu, after Count Gottlieb von Hazeler enters the General Staff, you should follow his advice more and serve in the army.
Give the earl appropriate decision-making authority regarding training."
"I understand."
Liu Pu stood up to express his position and cooperated.
Gottlieb von Hazeler proved that his military capabilities were true in the war decades later. However, it was impossible for Li Mingyuan to completely trust him. Giving him limited decision-making power was the safest choice. As for
How to determine the scope of decision-making power needs to be determined by Liu Pu himself.
"Captain Kolmar von der Goltz, there is a lack of suitable candidates for the position of interim education director of the 6th Military Academy. I hope that you will succeed as education director."
"Your Majesty, how many specific functional categories are there for the Director of Education?"
Kolmar von der Golz stood up and asked.
"The Sixth Army Military Academy has three main positions: principal, education director, and political director. I personally serve as the principal concurrently. The political director is responsible for the patriotic education and ideological and value guidance of military cadets. In addition to major matters that need to be reported to me, everything related to military education
Is Captain Kolmar von der Goltz satisfied that you are in charge of all the affairs?"
As the king of the Han Kingdom, Li Mingyuan could not really manage the affairs of the military academy as the principal concurrently. The political director was only responsible for the students' ideological education, while the education director could manage all matters except the students' ideological education. It can be said that the position of education director was the authority of the Sixth Army Military Academy.
The largest position, the actual function is greater than that of the principal who does not serve as a director and the political director whose management scope is limited.
Kolmar von der Goltz was very satisfied with Li Mingyuan's arrangements for him, bowed to Li Mingyuan in accordance with German etiquette, and accepted the appointment.
