Chapter 893 Remuneration 1

"His Majesty the Emperor will personally go to Kiel Naval Port to celebrate our triumph. From now on, we will finally no longer be a sitting fleet. We have realized the value of the High Seas Fleet. From this point alone, I think you More suitable for a leadership position in the German Navy, Marshal Tirpitz is a qualified politician, Admiral Riole is a qualified chief of staff, and what can I say about Admiral Bohr? He is not physically or energetically fit to lead Such a fleet. I look forward to fighting side by side again under your command." Lieutenant General Scheer said very sincerely.

"My captains and officers and men also hope so. You are a person who truly understands the navy. You treat us as warriors like you, not just a political or strategic tool. We are eager to make achievements, we are eager to win, and we hope to leave our own footprints in the rise of the empire. And you have met our requirements. Just from this perspective, without going against the interests of the empire, I will work with you. General Pell also supports you." Scheer said sincerely. "Yes, I promise, the Navy will play an important role in this war. We will fight powerful enemies in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. As long as I can still play a role, then I promise , the empire will not treat any soldier who has worked hard or even donated blood in this war! If possible, I hope that the navy can enjoy the same treatment as the Bavarian Legion, and we will do our best for the descendants of every martyr. Power!" said the prince. This is not just a statement, but the prince really intends to do this. The families of the fallen soldiers in the Bavarian Legion can receive a monthly pension and there will be some inclination in terms of employment. The prince can do this because the economic power of the Kingdom of Bavaria is strong enough, and it is a relatively closed kingdom. Whatever he wants to do, as long as it does not threaten the Kaiser, then just do it. But the prince now wants to extend this measure to the navy not just to gain prestige, but it is really necessary. Unlike the German Army, the establishment of the German Navy will not only meet the needs of Germany's external expansion and release In addition to domestic productivity, another important factor is to balance domestic political power. Although the Junker aristocracy has declined, it is still powerful. The army, horse administration, and agriculture are their private areas. They also control the basic local political power. The Kaiser was very dissatisfied with this, and the newly built navy attracted a large number of petty intellectuals and bourgeois personnel. They had new channels for advancement and were eager for change. To some extent, it balances the power of Germany's internal politics. Let the Kaiser have both sides of the equation in German politics. However, at the end of history, it was the navy that completely overturned the skyscraper of the Second German Empire. The naval uprising in Kiel Port finally worsened the entire situation! And it quickly became out of control! Germany's main combat forces are on the front line. Once the tens of thousands of sailors in Kiel Port decide to revolt, there is nothing God can do about it. The diversity of personnel makes the navy different from the army. The latter is a Junker aristocracy. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Juncker aristocracy and the royal family are one. However, the navy is different. Various ideological trends will have a greater impact on the navy. , the army was still able to launch a threatening offensive in 1918, and the navy became the trigger. Therefore, for the less stable navy, the prince needs to tie them to the empire, and both will suffer. , both prosperous and prosperous! And to be honest, the navy should have high remuneration. It is normal for technical personnel to have high remuneration. However, the main casualties of the navy are submarine troops. These personnel are definitely considered high-risk occupations. Once the submarine is sunk, there will be no survivors. The probability is very low. Although the anti-submarine technology in this era is not strong, we are still afraid of everything. Moreover, the environment and hardship of the submarine force are also the highest.

Therefore, it is natural to give higher treatment.

As for the personnel of the main fleet, if they can be brought under the command of the prince and can play an important role in the maritime anti-blockade operations and the campaign to suppress Russia, then the prince will naturally not hesitate to give them a higher salary. good treatment and a bright future. This can be regarded as a disguised benefit. In fact, if Germany can win, it won't be a big deal! Just think of it as stimulating domestic demand. Although the prince also plans to use the main fleet to continuously attack to consume and weaken the British Navy, thereby weakening the blockade, this is just a plan. The actual effect will be seen below. If in the next few months, Germany If a large amount of foreign aid can be obtained through the sea, then the prince will consider organizing several more large-scale battles in the future to achieve some breakthroughs. "So do you have any other instructions for the Navy?" Scheer asked. "Now? Let our officers and soldiers enjoy a relaxing and comfortable night. We will talk about anything later. Whether it is Bavaria or my frontline headquarters, you are always welcome." The prince said with a smile. At the same time, in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, the Kaiser was venting his excitement to the senior officials of the Second Reich with a battle report that had just been compiled! "Ah, I really want to know what my Uncle Edward will look like when he sees this report? Royal Navy? Grand Fleet? Just today, we must all remember At this historical moment, he has been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean by the German Empire's High Seas Fleet, and then stepped on a few times!" The Kaiser cynically raised the document in his hand high, and then slammed it heavily Slap it on the table. "Do you know? This is the best telegram we have received since the war began, and it is also the greatest victory achieved by the imperial army! Since the enemy's most dominant navy has been beaten to the pulp by us, then Tell me, now, what can stop the advance of the Empire? Is it the cowardly French in the west? Or the rude Slavs in the east? As for the Royal Army? I need to praise them, they are much better than the Navy ! Let me vaguely see the afterglow of the British Empire!" "So now, let us discuss how we should reward the planners of this battle, the biggest contributors, and the huge contributions to the construction of the High Seas Fleet. Contribution of Prince Ruprecht?" The Kaiser proposed the theme of today's meeting. The third update is here~~~! Please subscribe and reward~~~!
