The so-called disagreement, the root cause is the prince Ruprecht alone, this conference should have been a successful conference, a victorious conference, but in the course of the first two days of the meeting, the prince has always disagreed with the plan to confirm the target of the second phase of the attack as Paris, although the Duke of Württemberg Albrecht also complained about this plan, but in the end he chose to abstain, and the final result became a dispute between the Prussian generals and Ruprecht.

"Judging from the current aviation reconnaissance intelligence, Britain and France have established a well-established defense system in depth, with one line of defense on the border, and then Amiens, Reims and Verdun fortresses are the other line of defense. And on the distance of 140 kilometers from Amiens to Paris, the British and French also left a large number of reserve positions. After the three armies on the Northern Front have achieved the first phase of their strategic objectives, and then encircled the French army between Amiens and Reims, I estimate that we will take out at most one full French army. ”

"Then the problem now comes, the remaining three armies can be quickly pushed to the third line of defense along the extensive network of railways and roads, in the direction of Paris this line of defense has greatly shortened the length of the defense, the density of their defensive forces will not be reduced, and after receiving reinforcements in depth, it is normal for the defense force to increase."

"On the contrary, from our side, I think that the armored forces belonging to the 1st Army Group and the 2nd Army Group will be able to guarantee 6 percent from the attendance rate after the completion of the first phase of the battle. After the damage of the armored forces, we can only rely on infantry and artillery to advance slowly, and then we have to advance 140 kilometers to Paris? Guys, is this plan realistic? The French and British were not without reserves. If you go too deep once, you will have an accident. "As an armored commander in the entire German Empire and even in the whole world, Ruprecht's words still carry a lot of weight.

It's like, most people say that interest rates will be depreciated, but Greenspan says that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates, then there are definitely people who believe it! The same thing is said by different people, and the problem of war, or all serious things, must not play the minority obeying the majority. Especially when even the Prussians considered themselves to be a bunch of mallets in terms of armored operations.......

If nothing else, let's talk about the reorganization of the armored forces, after all, the Prussian regiment played with the armored forces for a long time as Bavaria, and the Bavarian regiment soon turned the original 45-car armored battalion into a 75-car armored battalion. An armored division has two armored battalions and a divisional reserve. Then on the exercise ground, Prussia's first large battalion operation can simply be described as miserable. The attack of the Bavarian armored battalion was deep and planned, and the Prussian troops on this side were completely herding sheep once they were deployed. For example, the alternate cover attack between two armored units, sometimes the chariots of team A are directly mixed into team B, and the chariots of team B are mixed into team A, and the most humiliating time is when the command vehicles of the two units of AB find that the other party is actually 150 meters away from them!

Whether it was an alternate cover attack, or an in-depth armored attack, the development of subsequent formations and the response to unexpected situations, the inexperienced Prussian regiments did not do well. As for the logistics, it was even more troublesome, the Bavarian armored forces were only responsible for two tanks, the Cricket and the Hufeng, while the Prussians had 4 types of tanks in one division, two of which were from Krupp and two were the supplementary Hufeng and Cricket ....... Of course, this is primarily a matter of the system.

"For the Air Force, it is also a very dangerous thing to extend the combat distance in this way, with our current aircraft performance, the time of our fighters on the border line is 2 hours, but if we were to push the battle line to Paris, then our time in the air would not even be 20 minutes, I can hardly imagine how dangerous it is for our K-4 bombers to perform their missions without escort! And because of the extension of the combat distance, the bomb load of our bombers will drop significantly. How to penetrate the British and French armies with reserves and pre-positioned lines at the end of the crossbow? ”

"We can fight without relying on the Air Force." Kruger said.

"Alright, give me your air force, I'll give you infantry. Make a price," Ruprecht said without hesitation.

So, after choking Kruger once, the whole venue fell into an eerie calm, and there was no way not to be calm, because neither side could convince the other, and they could not use force to solve the problem. On the one hand, the Kaiser can't personally remove the prince from his position, you call people from the Eastern Front, and they take out most of their family resources to help you fight, and finally you kick people away, how can you have a happy game in the future?

And more importantly, in the current situation, the most capable of fighting is Ruprecht, if the most capable people are not sure of success, then don't look at the Kaiser, Moltke Jr. and Kruger and others want to enter Paris again, but they really have no bottom. The reason for targeting Paris was based on two premises: first, that the Germans could capture Paris. Second, after the capture of Paris, France would surrender and the war on the Western Front would end.

And now, the most capable people think that the first goal cannot be achieved, so what about it? War is not something you can do as you want. If the prince was seized of command, then what would have happened to the Bavarian corps? If nothing else, morale is at least min. Negative slacking is a certainty, right? And if it really comes to this point, then you don't have to fight, you will definitely lose.

"We seem to be in a mess right now, don't we?" The Kaiser said with his hands on his chin, the majesty and anger of his words terrifying most of the people present. Moltke Jr. hoped that the Kaiser would make a decision, but Ruprecht didn't seem to be in a hurry, he was sure that the Kaiser would not do anything to him, of course, more importantly, he thought that his choice was correct, Paris was difficult to fight, and even if he fought, he might not be able to beat it down, and France in World War 1 might really have the consciousness to scorch Paris! Rather than this, it would be better to bleed the French more in one direction in order to bring France to its knees in a long war of attrition.

"Since Moltke can't convince you, then you can only convince Moltke, at least, you have to consider the feasibility of our plan! Today, there must be a result, and we cannot afford to allow the offensive to drag on indefinitely. Say, Ruprecht, say everything you want to say. The Kaiser glanced disapprovingly at the Crown Prince, who was on his right, and said.
