Without a large-scale German naval program, how much stronger are the German army and air force?
Basically, I am curious as to how much the other branches of Germany's military (such as the German army and air force) could have improved and been strengthened if Germany would have spent the money that it spent on naval expansion in our TL on these other branches instead.
Also, please keep in mind that Germany appears to have been a world leader in innovation, scientific research, and scientific development during this time. Thus, do you think that Germany could have achieved wonders in developing army/military technology and/or aviation technology in the couple of decades before the start of World War I if it wouldn't have had a large-scale naval program?
Anyway, any thoughts on this?
