"We finally have enough money, relatively abundant resources, and a not-so-reliable ally, which is probably the best news we've heard in recent times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"In the royal paddock, Wilhelm II personally greeted Ruprecht. Herbert was in charge of the blame, so when he went to sign the treaty, the prince had already returned to Berlin and reported the results of his trip to the Kaiser. From the Kaiser's words, the prince could hear that the other party was quite satisfied with the result.

"We need to be well prepared for this war that will end everything, but not more than seven years at most, which means that in 1912 we have to start a war! We can't let the Russians slow down, and we can't prepare the French and the British well! Do you understand? 1912 at the latest! Wilhelm II said to the prince next to him as he walked, and the two attendants were scattered around to facilitate communication between the two in a relatively private space.

"Ruprecht, you are a genius, but unfortunately you are not Prussian, if you and Moltke Jr. switch places, I will rest assured that the whole army will be in your hands, but alas, you are not. I will carefully consider everything you say, but there is no guarantee that it will be implemented, after all, Prussia has its own national conditions, and the emperor cannot do whatever he wants. Do you understand what I mean? The Kaiser said earnestly.

"I see what you mean, you need Bavarian technology and new tactics, but you don't want to change your strategy, right? Your final thought is that you want to concentrate your forces on France at the beginning of the war. Ruprecht thought for a moment and said.

"Well, a direct defeat of France is the most direct way for us to achieve victory, and the temptation is too great for anyone to resist. So we're going to give it a try. We'll do our best to get some problems in time and we'll get a better situation for the rest of the battle, won't we? The Kaiser paused for a moment before continuing.

Of course, Prussia also fully considered the demands of the Kingdom of Bavaria. The Bavarian Corps could fight on the Western Front without participating in the war and with Austria-Hungary against the Russians and the Yugoslavs. Of course, East Prussia will leave a group of troops to fight with you, but the latter is mainly for defense. And the Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian legions needed to open a breakthrough on the battlefield. ”

Is this called a slap in the face to a sweet date? The prince sneered. It is clear that the Kaiser had already made his attitude clear, and he was dissatisfied with Ruprecht's influence on the German General Staff through his association with Moltke and others, and although he realized that the prince might be right, he still decided to be stubborn, not only for the desire for victory, but also for the prince's actions that had crossed the line!

Of course, blind suppression is absolutely not allowed, and the good relations between Prussia and Bavaria cannot be ruined because of these small things, not to mention, some things that Bavaria has made are really good, and the strength of the Bavarian Army is getting stronger and stronger, which is a very important help, so, as compensation, the Kaiser finally made it clear that he supported the proposal of the merger of the Bavarian Army and the Austrian Army.

According to the Kaiser's idea, the northern part of the entire Eastern Front was defended by the Prussian Corps, while the Central and Southern Fronts were given to Bavaria and Austria-Hungary. Nor did it be expected that a state plus Austro-Hungarian could defeat the Russians, as long as the Russian offensive could be delayed, and after the German Army had settled the Western Front, then everything would be easy. And the world is probably about 2 months, that is, the Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian regiments need to fight the Russians alone for 2 months!

"Well, that's good." Before Ruprecht could make an inquiry, the Kaiser had already agreed to the prince's request, which really made Ruprecht feel very good, but it was only a small surprise, because he knew very well that the Kaiser was also throwing the pot! Threw a very heavy task to the Bavarian Legion!

You must know that at the beginning of World War 1, the Russian army was not weak at all, and the so-called weakness of the Russian army was relative to the main force of the German army.

"Austria-Hungary is of great importance to our plans, and we need Austria-Hungary to attract the attention of the Russians in order to ensure that our precious Silesian region is not invaded by the Russians, which is a very heavy task, so I hope you can complete it."

The Kaiser's actions were very similar to history, although the prince strongly demanded that the settlement of Russia be the primary goal, but under the huge historical inertia, the Kaiser finally made a decision similar to the Schlieffen plan, and in the strategy of the Western Front, then the pressure on the Eastern Front could only be borne by Austria-Hungary, but slightly different from history, there was also the Bavarian Army to bear this pressure.

In fact, Austria-Hungary did its best to undertake this task after the start of the war, and the Battle of Galicia was the initiative of Austria-Hungary, in which the Russian corps engaged a total of 5 armies (3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th armies) and a detachment against the Austro-Hungarian 4 armies and a reserve army. The two sides fought for a long time on a front between 320 and 400 kilometers wide, and in the end, according to Russian statistics, Austria-Hungary lost 400,000 troops and Russia lost 230,000.

The prince, who knew something about the war, could not allow history to repeat itself, and the loss of 400,000 troops was simply unbearable for Austria-Hungary. And if he wants to change, then he must have the right to influence the Austro-Hungarian legion.

"I hope that I can represent Germany in discussions with Austria-Hungary." Ruprecht made his own demands.

"You represent Germany?" The Kaiser touched his chin and thought carefully. "Wouldn't it be better to have Moltke Jr. come and talk to Emperor Fritz on behalf of the General Staff?"

"However, General Moltke Jr. is in charge of the Western Front, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so we can't act according to the script that was laid down a few years ago, right? We need an efficient and flexible command structure," the prince said.

"Believe me, Ruprecht, Fritz is not a good person to deal with, even if you are his son-in-law, he is a cunning person, your status and status do not give you an advantage, they will not take the opinion of a state seriously, and Moltke the little represents Germany." The Emperor said.

"I want to try." The prince's answer was unusually simple.

"Okay, then you can try." After half a ring, Wilhelm II said.
