Chapter 300: Successfully Squeezed Out (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Well, the performance of Oscar and the 8th Army is really shocking to me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, this is also a great thing for the Empire. A smile appeared on Wilhelm II's face.
The victory of Qin Tian and the 8th Army Corps on the Eastern Front made Wilhelm II very satisfied. At the same time, what made him even more satisfied was undoubtedly Qin Tian's next deployment of the Eastern Front. The combination of military and political means brought down Russia completely, so that Germany no longer had to worry about this strong enemy in the east. If Qin Tian's plan can be successful, it will give Germany an advantage in this war.
This also made Wilhelm II very happy, glad that he chose Qin Tian to be the crown prince of the empire. Otherwise, there might not be everything we have now. Even if Crown Prince William wakes up now, whether William II will ask Qin Tian to return the crown prince to Crown Prince William, I am afraid it is still necessary to say. After all, Qin Tian's performance in the position of crown prince was more than a star and a half stronger than that of Crown Prince William at the beginning. Qin Tian's political wisdom and ability to deal with problems are obviously more sophisticated than Crown Prince William. It can be said that Wilhelm II obviously already thinks that Qin Tiancai is the best candidate for the crown prince.
Moltke saw the smile on Wilhelm II's face, and his heart continued to sink. He knew that Wilhelm II's attitude towards Qin Tian had changed radically. If he wanted to fight with Qin Tian again, Wilhelm II would not give him any more support.
As soon as he thought of this, Moltke Jr. had a new decision.
"Your Majesty, I had a very stiff relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of my different political views. Now, I understand that I was too short-sighted. I am willing to reconcile with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not forgive me. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will intervene to mediate. Moltke said with a sincere face.
Wilhelm II was stunned for a moment, and seemed to feel a little incredulous, after all, he was also very clear about Moltke's character. That's not what Moltke could say! However, if the contradiction between Moltke and Qin Tian can really be resolved, it will be a good thing.
"Well, I'll talk to Oscar. I'm sure Oscar isn't the kind of person who has a small belly either. Moltke smiled.
"Your Majesty, I regret the current predicament on the Western Front. For some reason, we were not able to defeat the Anglo-French forces on the Western Front. However, I am sure that we will have a chance next time. What we need to do now is to allow the troops to recuperate and store war materiel. When the time comes, start a big war. I believe that when the time comes, we will be able to defeat the Anglo-French forces, take Paris, and defeat the French. Moltke continued. In this way, he wanted to convince Wilhelm II that he could still lead the German army to victory.
It's just that what Moltke regrets, Wilhelm II doesn't seem to give him the response he wants.
"As for the battlefield on the Western Front, I need to think carefully. However, I advise you to take a break first. You've been busy with this war since before it began. I think it's time for you to get some rest. In this way, it is good for your body. Wilhelm II said euphemistically. He believed that Moltke Jr. should be able to hear him.
Moltke opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was in good health and didn't need to rest at all. But, in the end, he couldn't say anything. He knew that when Wilhelm II said this, he had already made up his mind to remove him. Let him go to rest, this is just to save face for him. If he didn't know what to do, Wilhelm II probably wouldn't be so easy to talk about. When the time comes, it will definitely be a loss of face.
Moltke knew what to choose. If he accepted Wilhelm II's suggestion, he and Wilhelm II might be able to maintain a friendship. Otherwise, their friendship would have to come to an end.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have been feeling very tired lately. So, to be able to take a break, that's undoubtedly the best. However, His Majesty can summon me at any time if he needs to. For the sake of the Empire, I am willing to continue fighting. Moltke said.
Wilhelm II nodded, and a hint of sentimentality flashed across his face, and the quarrel between him and Moltke Jr. was so bad that he didn't feel very good.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, then I will take my leave." Moltke Jr. said.
"Okay, you go back and get some rest!" Wilhelm II said.
Moltke Jr. left Wilhelm II's office, his back full of gloom and loneliness. For him, losing the post of Chief of the General Staff is obviously very uncomfortable.
Looking at the back of little Moltke's departure, Wilhelm II was also silent for a long time.
"Alas, find a chance to talk to Oscar in the future, don't embarrass little Moltke again! After all, a friend can't leave no love at all! Wilhelm II sighed. Let Qin Tian not trouble little Moltke, this is already the only thing that Wilhelm II can help little Moltke for the sake of his friends.
Little Moltke went to find Wilhelm II, of course, he couldn't hide it from Qin Tian. Almost as soon as Moltke Jr. walked into Wilhelm II's office, Qin Tian learned the news. At that time, Qin Tian was talking to Feng? Falkenhain discusses the next battle situation.
Now, von? Falkenhein's takeover as chief of the General Staff is almost a foregone conclusion. But, von? After Falkenhein came to power, he had to come up with a plan that was beneficial to Germany! Otherwise, not only Wilhelm II would not be on good terms. At the same time, I can't explain it to those generals! In that case, Feng? It is not so easy for Falkenhayn to secure the position of Chief of the General Staff.
"Your Highness, little Moltke went to find His Majesty, will there be any surprises?" Feng? Falkenhein was worried.
Qin Tian shook his head, he knew that William II's character, once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it. What's more, Moltke's performance in this war is indeed too bad. Wilhelm II would never allow Moltke Jr. to be the chief of the General Staff, and he still wanted to lead Germany to victory in this war!
"Don't worry, it's a foregone conclusion. No matter how hard Moltke tries, nothing can change. Qin Tian said confidently.
"In that case, it couldn't be better." Feng? Falkenhein was relieved a lot.
The next day, Wilhelm II issued an order to remove Moltke the Younger from his post as Chief of the General Staff, and the Minister of War von Fergu. Falkenhain also served as Chief of the General Staff.
