"Falkenhein, from now on you will also be the chief of the General Staff. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI hope that the Reich Army can defeat the strong enemy under your leadership, help the German Empire, and win this war! Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

The most crucial reason why Wilhelm II made up his mind to remove Moltke was to win the war. In this war, Germany can be said to have done everything in its power. If the war is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. So, this battle has to be won. Moltke's previous performance was so bad that Wilhelm II decided that Moltke would not be able to lead the German Army to victory. Then, he can only put his hope in other people. And Feng? Falkenhayn was his chosen choice.

On the one hand, von? Falkenhein was the Minister of War and was most qualified to take over as Chief of the General Staff. On the other hand, von? Falkenhain's abilities are also excellent. In addition, there is another point, is Feng? Falkenhayne had a good relationship with Qin Tian. Wilhelm II no longer wanted to see the strength of the German Army affected by tensions between the Chief of the General Staff and the Crown Prince. One such lesson was enough, and Wilhelm II did not want to do it again.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister must do his best to lead the German Imperial Army to defeat the strong enemy and win the final victory of the war! "Feng? Falkenhayn said excitedly. After so many years of anticipation, he finally got his wish. You know, the struggle between him and Moltke Jr. has been going on for a long time. Before, he had been suppressed by Moltke Jr., but now, he finally succeeded in squeezing out Moltke Jr. and became the first person in the Imperial Army. This makes Feng? Falkenhayn was very excited, and at the same time very grateful to Qin Tian for his help. Otherwise, where would he be today?

Wilhelm II nodded, and he really hoped that the tide of the battle would change because of this.

"Falkenhayin, do you have any plans for the next step on the Western Front?" Wilhelm II asked impatiently.

On the Eastern Front, after Qin Tian's debriefing, Wilhelm II was not worried at all. What he is most worried about is still the battlefield on the Western Front. Germany would not have won the war without a breakthrough on the Western Front.

"Your Majesty, after more than a month of fighting, our army has done its best on the battlefield on the Western Front. The troops are already very tired, and the war materials are almost exhausted, and we need time to rest. Otherwise, we will not be able to launch a large-scale offensive. Falkenhain said.

Wilhelm II nodded, with the current situation of the German army on the Western Front, it was indeed impossible to launch a large-scale offensive. If you rush into an attack, you will most likely fail again. In that case, the consequences are even more serious.

"So, when are you going to attack next?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, it's already September, and when we're done resting, the cold winter will be in place, and we must prepare our troops for the winter and avoid non-combat attrition due to the weather. In addition, if an attack is launched in winter, the losses of troops will be very large. So, we believe that another offensive on the Western Front will have to wait at least until next spring. "Feng? Falkenhain said.

"Next spring?" Wilhelm II couldn't help frowning. Although, in his opinion, von? Falkenhein's analysis is still very reliable. However, there is still half a year to go until next spring. Doesn't this give the Germans enough time to recuperate, but also give the enemy time to breathe? At the time of Germany's war, France's military reform was not completed, nor was its mobilization. That's why Germany was able to win such a big victory on the battlefield. If the French were given another half a year, their mobilization would certainly be completed. At that time, the Germans will have to face more enemies. In addition, the British will certainly seize this time and send more expeditionary forces to France. Even if the German army had finished recuperating by then, would it still be able to defeat the Anglo-French forces? Wilhelm II was very skeptical about this.

"Yes, Father. On the issue of the Western Front, His Excellency the Chief of Staff and I have already discussed it, and we both agree that the battlefield on the Western Front should move into a defensive posture from now on. It will continue until next spring. At this time, the Eastern Front continued to maintain an offensive posture, weakening Russia's strength as much as possible and striving to defeat them! It would be great if it could really trigger civil unrest in Russia. Qin Tian said.

Defending the west and attacking the east, is it Qin Tian and Feng? After consultation, Falkenhein decided on Germany's strategy for the next six months.

Wilhelm II nodded: "But, Oscar, are you sure that you will defeat the Anglo-French army in half a year?" You know, in half a year, the Anglo-French alliance will definitely be much stronger than it is now! ”

"Father, I've already taken this into account. Therefore, I hope that we will be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the army as much as possible within half a year. This half year is also crucial for us. If we can realize our plan, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat the Anglo-French forces in the future. Qin Tian continued.

"Oh, how are you going to increase the combat effectiveness of the troops on the Western Front?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposes to reequip the troops of the Western Front on a large scale, at least in the shortest possible time, to increase the number of semi-automatic rifles, sniper rifles, squad machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, grenadiers, mortars and artillery pieces of various calibers in the units of the Western Front, and to increase the firepower of the troops. On the other hand, each corps, modeled after the 8th Corps, created an armored division to enhance the assault capabilities of the troops. The previous tanks, all the legions were used to cooperate with the infantry in combat, and it was a waste not to bring out their true power. Now, with the experience of the 8th Panzer Division, we can build up more armored units to break the current pattern on the Western Front. "Feng? Falkenhain said.

The current Western Front has undoubtedly become a trench war. This kind of fighting method of fighting with attrition is not something that Germany is willing to accept.

"But that requires a lot of money. Our military spending is already very scarce. Kaiser Wilhelm II said. Since the beginning of the war, a large amount of war materials have been consumed, which has caused Germany's military spending to increase day by day.

"Father, I can first advance funds to equip the army with these weapons. Wait until the war is over, and then pay it back. Qin Tian continued.

"Good, so be it!" Wilhelm II nodded in satisfaction.
