"General Hindenburg, General Ludendorff, this is my suggestion for the reform of the military system, you two have a look. If we can make ourmand system more t, it will improvemand efficiency. It will bring great benefits." Qin Tian said, and then handed a document to Hindenburg and Ludendorff.


    Hindenburg and Ludendorff took the file and read it. Soon, shock was evident on their faces.


    Indeed, they never expected that Qin Tian would propose reforming the military system. Although, over the decades, from the Kingdom of Prussia to the German Empire, the army''s military system has changed from time to time. But basically they are only minor modifications, unlike Qin Tian, ??who directly cut off a certain level of units. If they knew that Qin Tian not only wanted to get rid of the unit ''Brigade'', but also wanted to get rid of the unit ''Army'', they would probably be even more shocked.


    General Hindenburg and Brigadier General Ludendorff, after reading Qin Tian''s n, remained silent for a long time.


    After a while, Hindenburg spoke.


    "Your Highness, removing the unit ''Brigade'' can indeed simplify themand system. However, this may cause turmoil. It will also make many people not used to it. Most importantly, it will reduce the number of brigadier-level generals. I''m afraid this will make many people dissatisfied." Hindenburg was a little worried. After all, one radish and one hole, if brigade-level units exist, there will be many more brigademanders, deputy brigademanders, brigade chiefs of staff, etc. positions. These are the ranks of Brigadier General and Colonel. Where will these people go after the brigade unit is cut off?


    "General Hindenburg, we are only implementing this military system within the Eighth Army, and will not extend it to other armies. Even if it causes turmoil, we canpletely suppress it. As for those brigade-level generals We can transfer to other departments. It does not mean that these brigadier generals and colonels will no longer be needed after the brigade units are eliminated. Themander of the artillery regiment can be a brigadier general. The deputy divisionmander and division chief of staff can also be It can be a brigadier general. If you think about it, there should be no big problem." Qin Tian said.


    On this issue, he has made up his mind, no matter how difficult it is, he will not back down.


    "Although it is a bit troublesome, the simplifiedmand system is indeed of great benefit to themand and operations of the army. I think we can try it!" Brigadier General Ludendorff said. Ludendorff was younger and more aggressive than Hindenburg.


    Hindenburg hesitated for a while, and expressed another worry: "Your Highness, if we change the military system without authorization, this may cause dissatisfaction with the General Staff. Your Majesty does not know what the attitude is."


    "Don''t worry too much about the General Staff Headquarters. If little Moqi wants to make trouble, I will deal with it. As for the father, I will exin to him." Qin Tian said. Anyway, he and little Maoqi are now at odds with each other, even if he doesn''t do anything, little Maoqi will make trouble for him. Instead of this, it is better to follow his ideas. Anyway, now that Qin Tian''s crown prince position has be more and more stable, naturally he no longer needs to be afraid of Xiao Maoqi.


    As for William II''s attitude, Qin Tian is still confident that he can persuade him. After all, almost everything Qin Tian has done in these years has been sessful. Under such circumstances, Wilhelm II would have believed him.


    "Okay, Your Highness, then follow your n!" Hindenburg nodded. He had already persuaded him, but Qin Tian was still stubborn, so he had no choice.


    ording to Qin Tian''s n, all units of the 8th Army will be reorganized ording to the new military system.


    A squad of 12 people is equipped with ten rifles, one light machine gun, one sniper rifle, and one grenadier. Three squads plus the firearms squad and the toon department form a toon. The firearms squad also has 12 people, equipped with a heavy machine gun and a mortar. The toon consists of the chief and deputy toon leader, a health worker, a signal soldier and two messengers. In this case, a row is 54 people.


    Three infantry toons plus a heavy weapons toon andpany headquarters. The heavy weapons toon has two light machine guns, three 60mm mortars and one heavy machine gun, with a number of 23 people. Thepany headquarters isposed of the chief and deputypanymanders, two guards, one correspondent, one hygienist, and two messengers. The entire infantrypany has a total of 193 people.


    The infantry battalion consists of three infantrypanies, a battalion headquarterspany, a heavy weaponspany, and an infantry artillerypany. In addition to the officers and soldiers that make up the battalion headquarters, the battalion headquarters also includes a reconnaissance toon, the guard reconnaissance toon. The heavy weaponspany is equipped with 6 81mm medium mortars, 8 light machine guns, and 3 heavy machine guns. An infantry artillerypany equipped with six Type 08 infantry artillery (Type 92 infantry artillery for anti-Japanese troops), with a total strength of 1,050 soldiers.


    Infantry Regiment consists of three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, consisting of regiment headquarters and troops directly under the regiment. The regiment headquarters includes the civilian staff of the regiment headquarters, the guardpany, the reconnaissancepany, etc. Other regiment-affiliated units include regiment-owned mortarpanies equipped with six 107mm heavy mortars. In addition, there are logisticspany, healthpany and so on. The artillery battalion is a field artillery battalion, which is divided into three field artillerypanies, each equipped with six 75mm field artillery, and the regiment has a strength of more than 4,500 people.


    Infantry divisions include three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and other division-directed units. The units directly under the division include the division headquarters, reconnaissance battalion, guard battalion, supply battalion, armored battalion (not listed for now), etc. The artillery regiment has three artillery battalions, two of which are 105mm howitzer battalions, and each battalion is equipped with 18 105mm howitzers. The other battalion is a 150mm heavy howitzer battalion, equipped with 18 150mm heavy howitzers. The entire infantry division has a total of more than 16,500 soldiers.


    The biggest difference between the new infantry division and the old infantry division is undoubtedly the enhanced machine gun firepower and artillery firepower. In particr, the artillery firepower has been greatly improved. The existing German infantry division is equipped with 54 77mm field guns and 18 105mm howitzers. The restructured infantry division is equipped with 54 75mm field guns, 36 105mm light howitzers and 18 150mm heavy howitzers. The number of artillery pieces has nearly doubled. The intensity of the firepower is more than twice that of the previous infantry division.


    It can be said that with the addition of so many technical weapons, as long as the new infantry division has been trained, itsbat effectiveness will be stronger, at least much stronger than the previous one. If Hindenburg and Ludendorff didn''t quite believe Qin Tian''s proposal to build the 8th Army into the most powerful army in the German Army before, then they fully believed it now.
