"Hold the grass, if that's the case, it would be terrible if the two Wittelsbach families merged!" Thinking of this, the crown prince couldn't help but shudder, the current Bavarian Kingdom is already so rebellious, according to Moltke's inference, the Bavarian Legion at this time can reach at least about 22% of the overall military strength of the Imperial Army! In the case of the Air Force, it should be 78%, ....... Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, that's where Fritz excels." Wilhelm II said with a smile and shook his head. "We will not allow the Kingdom of Bavaria to split up, and in the same way, Fritz will definitely not allow the new Unity to split from the Empire, even after the war, he needs this Yuan to contain Hungary and stabilize the Empire, so you can rest assured of that. And there is a precedent for the prince and Princess Mary not to have only one descendant, they can inherit the two kingdoms separately. ”

"One thing is certain, however, that during Ruprecht's reign, the power of the Wittelsbach family will increase greatly, and even if the German Empire has made great progress, we will still not be able to gain absolute control over other empires, at least not Bavaria." The Kaiser smiled bitterly.

Any king is black when he cuts it open, and who doesn't want to be the only one in a country? Over the years, Prussia has assimilated other kingdoms under various names, not to mention military power, transportation has begun, Prussia won in the Kingdom of Saxony, and won in the Kingdom of Württemberg, but it is not possible to run into Bavaria! Even historically, the Bavarian Army was commanded by the prince, and the Bavarian Air Force was independent of the Imperial Air Force, which was the case throughout history, and with the Traverser, of course, it was even more so.

"Don't think that Ruprecht doesn't understand politics, it's just that he has no interest in these mouthpieces, and he will do what he thinks is needed! This kind of talent is the most terrifying. He knew that once the Eastern Front was won and Bavaria could not achieve rapid development, then the central government of the empire would form a crushing situation for other kingdoms and grand duchies, and their privileges and status would not be there, so he would choose to cooperate with Austria-Hungary. The Kaiser asked rhetorically.

"You know what? The people of the German Empire owe direct allegiance to their sovereign, and the vassals of the vassals are not my vassals! It was precisely because my grandfather and Bismarck saw this problem that they allowed other kingdoms to be privileged, and once the war was over, Fritz was not necessarily willing to allow the German Empire to completely eat Bavaria. ”

"And think about it, the two kingdoms of Bavaria, with such a strong army, as long as they don't die, who would dare to move? If Bavaria had the ability to do this during the Austro-Prussian War, we would never have dared to do it. The Kaiser was also a little trembling when he said this.

The barrel of a gun is always the most direct and effective means of threatening, and in later generations, the United States first asked where its aircraft carrier battle group was when it encountered something, and the Russians brandished their nuclear stick when they had nothing to do. Bavaria is deeply hidden, and today's exercise is an eye-opener. At least let the Kaiser know that it would not work in a way that would eat Saxony or the Kingdom of Württemberg. If you really dare to do it, everyone will be finished together! The Kaiser was not a fool, so he would never do it, not only did the Kaiser not want to do it, but he also had to remind his son not to think about it, at least not while Ruprecht was alive.

"So what do we do now?" The crown prince asked.

"The fundamental reason why this situation is difficult is because he is a conspirator, you can understand it, but you just can't help it. Emperor Fritz will not listen to us for the sake of Austria-Hungary, as long as the Bavarian legions can fight well, then they will not be stingy with their rewards. ”

"As for us? There is no better option than to study. Since everyone is fighting for the spoils of war on the Eastern Front, we naturally need to leave a relatively strong corps on the Eastern Front. The Kaiser said.

"Actually, we have two ways, the first way is to transfer the Bavarian Army to the Western Front, and the second way is to send the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front." The crown prince thought for a moment and said.

"Transfer Ruprecht to the Western Front? No problem in theory. It's just a matter of a paper order, but this is going to be a problem in military affairs, and no officer with a brain will agree to it! Do you really think Ruprecht didn't think about it? He had thought about it for years ago! Didn't you notice? Medium-caliber artillery in Bavaria is not the same as ours, we are 77mm guns, they are 75mm guns. How do you get this logistics? ”

"Tell you, Moltke is still very level. Especially in terms of technology, they have done a lot of research, maybe the overall picture is not as good as the old Moltke, but in terms of technology and planning, the little Moltke is very strong. The Kaiser showed a helpless expression, he didn't expect his son to choose the most unreliable method.

"From a military point of view, the Bavarian army is the most unsuitable corps to enter the Western Front, first of all, the Kingdom of Bavaria is far away from the front line, and the equipment standards are not the same as the Empire, so if they want to enter the Western Front, they need to provide two different logistics systems, which is to make trouble for themselves, from the point of view of material requirements, the consumption of a division in Prussia for a battle day is about 120 tons, and the consumption of a division in Bavaria for a battle day is about 180 tons, If that's all there is to it, we can barely supply the logistics, but think about how difficult it would be for those tanks and armored vehicles to be transported by rail to the French border. This will crowd out a lot of capacity, and it is not achievable at this stage! ”

"And Ruprecht mentioned very bluntly in the report that it is inconceivable to use the current railway system to quickly pass hundreds of combat vehicles and a large number of self-propelled guns through the occupied territory and then engage at a distance of 400 kilometers from the national border! That's the truth, it's not something you can change if you want to. Moltke Jr. had no way, no one, to quickly transfer such a heavily armed force to the Western Front in the event of wartime mobilization. So we can only compromise. ”

These things were said by Moltke to the Kaiser, who was still a little unwilling when he knew about it, and once asked for the opinions of others, if there was a little chance, even if the transportation and logistics on the Western Front could theoretically support the Bavarian Army to fight, then he would leave it on the Western Front, but unfortunately, it was impossible, not at all!
