Chapter 684: Old treacherous and cunning

"Actually, there are differences between Austria-Hungary and the German Empire in terms of interests and needs, both on the Eastern Front, first of all, how to distribute Poland is a problem, of course, this is the minimum, compared to the latter problem this is drizzle, let me ask you, if you are in charge of the Eastern Front, where will the main direction of your corps attack?"

"If all goes well, after the capture of Russian Poland, I naturally hope that the troops will attack in the direction of Ukraine, which is the closest to us, has a lot of arable land, and there are coal mines in the Donetsk region, and the most important thing is that it is suitable for us to rule. "Speaking www.biquge.info of which, Ferdinand seems to have suddenly understood something!

Austria-Hungary, proceeding from its own interests, naturally wanted to capture the region closest to it and the most suitable for its rule, and the German Empire also thought so, so they wanted to capture Belarus and the Baltic coastal countries, and this direction of attack was one to the east and the other to the north! The two sides are not a routine at all!

If you want to maximize the interests of Austria-Hungary, then you must unify your thinking and hit the forces to advance in the direction of Ukraine, and at this time it is bound to diverge with the German Empire, and if Ruprecht acquiesces to this, then it will be much easier, after all, the largest group of the German army on the Eastern Front is the Bavarian Army.

"Also, do you think the Austro-Hungarian army will be able to take control of Western Ukraine? Can we hold the mainland with the main Russian forces in the east, the Balkans in the south, and Italy in the west? "If the issue of interests made Fritz see the necessity of joining forces with Bavaria, then the question raised by the Austrian emperor has already faintly pointed to inevitability!

The Austro-Hungarian army is not powerful! Even Ferdinand couldn't deny this question, among the allies, apart from finding some confidence in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Ferdinand really didn't know who else he could beat. (Italy doesn't count anymore.) Fritz privately estimated that a German division could fight about 1.5 Austrian divisions. If there is an army, it is estimated that it can fight 1.8 Austro-Hungarian troops. Further up, the gap will be even greater, why? It was not a matter of numbers, because the higher you go, the greater the superiority of the German army in terms of equipment and the more heavy equipment it has. And with the expansion of the scale on your side, the more mixed the races of the soldiers in the army, the more you can't see or touch the thing of national unity, but you really can't help but take it seriously, and in this way, with the increase and decrease, the gap between the two sides will become wider and wider.

As for saying that if the opponent is the Bavarian Army, after this exercise, Ruprecht said, my army can beat you two and a half armies, Ferdinand believes it, you look at this time, Moltke is by no means a mediocre hand, and the advantage of 1.5 times the strength of the army makes the family fall in two days.

"Our situation is actually very bad, the Germans can concentrate their forces on the Western Front, and we need to face a three-front operation, to be honest, I don't think we can fight Russia on our own, let alone deal with three directions at the same time, so relying on Germany has become inevitable! And the best option, naturally, is the current Bavarian Legion! ”

The meaning of the Austrian emperor is already very clear, the pressure of Austria-Hungary is too great, the opponent is just overpowered, and there is ambition to take advantage, so it must find a thug. And now the best fighter is the Bavarian Army, which is the basis of the cooperation between the two sides.

"Well, you tell me, a good army that can reach 300,000 in wartime can take out the army of our two legions, what price do you need to pay to make them work for us?" Emperor Ao said.

"They've come to the Eastern Front, and whether they want it or not, this outcome won't change." Ferdinand thought for a moment and said.

"You want to pay off? Hahaha, you actually want to give Bavaria a benefit? What do you think? Emperor Ao couldn't laugh or cry, and even said with some hatred that iron is not steel.

"Ruprecht is much smarter than you, what you can think of, he can't think of? After the actual start of the war, if his army delayed for a few days, it could be catastrophic for our legions, and he could fully support the Kaiser's advance to the north, how could we, who were alone, face the Russians? ”

The meaning of the Austrian emperor is very clear, it is right on the Eastern Front, but there are also cases in this world where the work is not contributed, or the Austro-Hungarian force is not contributed. So the Bavarian regiment was not at all afraid of Austria-Hungary repentance. Besides, it's really not good, can't people just go back to the Western Front? That's really a one-shot split!

"We seem to have been kidnapped, don't we? So what exactly is their asking price? Prussia is not going to give Bavaria a chance to expand, and their position really can't be expanded, and we won't give them territory. There is an enclave that I guess they won't be satisfied with either. Fritz said.

"It's not that serious, they don't want the Kingdom of Bavaria to expand, Ruprecht is not so stupid, but they may hope that the Wittelsbach family can get another title, so that the family's power can develop in the long run."

"In analysing this issue, we have to make a point, and that is why Ruprecht did it." Emperor Ao paused and continued. "The Kaiser has always wanted to weaken the power of other kingdoms in the country, and he has done so for many years, Saxony, and then Württemberg. Start with railways, postal services, and military aspects. They also attacked Bavaria, but for the time being. ”

"Obviously, Bavaria does not want to lose its independence, and now Bavaria is relatively strong, and Prussia is not easy to start, but what about later? What will Prussia do when it receives a lot of war dividends? If Germany's territory were to be doubled, how would Bavaria face a much more powerful center? So Ruprecht was afraid, he needed to find allies, he needed to strengthen the power of Bavaria. ”

"So he found us? But what can we give them? Ferdinand asked. And will we do so to cause the Kaiser's displeasure? Is this also a big loss? ”

"Of course there is this risk, and the risk is not small at all, so until today, I have not given them an official answer, but now, the risk is very small, and I believe that Ruprecht can handle the relationship between Bavaria and the German Empire, if it is not handled well, it is also his business, it has nothing to do with us, believe me, if he comes to us to talk about these things, then he has already negotiated with the Kaiser." Emperor Ao said.
