Chapter 1261: trade off

Chapter 1261

Because of this, the prince is very opposed to managing the Balkans outside of the plan. Once the Polish pocket plan is launched, the prince will command the High Seas Fleet and the Eastern Front at the same time. How can there be time and energy to control the Balkans?

"But Turkey can't give up." Baron Schmidt said. "We must think of a solution."

"It's very simple. The Anglo-French regiments heading to the Balkans were drawn from the Western Front. Then the pressure on the Western Front is reduced. Let's draw troops from the Western Front to enter the Balkans. Anyway, just start defense." The prince said angrily. .

"However, these forces may not only be drawn from the Western Front, but also the Greeks, and the Japanese in the Far East, especially the Japanese. I feel that a considerable part of the cannon fodder may be Japanese this time." Baron Schmidt Said.

"?!" The prince was startled, and then frowned. In fact, Ruprecht has always subconsciously avoided a question in his heart, and that is the estimation of the strength of the British and French coalition forces in the Balkans! In fact, if Britain and France still attack from the Dardanelles, then the prince is not worried that Turkey will not be able to defend it. After all, in history, people have guarded it well...

However, it would be hard to say if the war started simultaneously on land and the strait at the same time! Turkey's territory in Europe is only 30,000 square kilometers, so it is very easy to be beaten directly at such a depth! Moreover, the terrain of this land is relatively flat, and large-scale battles are head-to-head. In the sad environment on both sides of the Dardanelles, the Turks can block the British and French forces. This prince believes, but if the Allied Powers attack from Greece... ..... That is the upright fighting division, without any tricks! If this is the case, it would really require a large amount of army to block it. The prince does not know who will come out of this part of the army. Anyway, the prince does not want to come out before the Polish pocket ends.

"It seems that Ruprecht does not want to bear the war in the Balkans. His Majesty and the Chief of Staff do not seem to want to pressure, but the problem will eventually be solved. It is not a solution to delay." In the Kaiser's office, France Jin Han said to the Kaiser.

"We are struggling on the Western Front, and the Bavarian Legion is on the Eastern Front to deal with the weak Russians. Now they are unwilling to share some pressure. This approach is absolutely intolerable." Looking at the silent Kaiser and the Chief of Staff, France Admiral Jinhan said again.

"Ruprecht has a lot of problems." The Kaiser looked around, the silent little Mao Qi, holding documents in his hand but looking like the prince who wandered away from the sky, the passionate Fakinghan. It's really the face of all beings.

"However, he has one advantage, that is, he has never let me down!" Emperor William pointed to Admiral Fakingham who was sitting fourth in his right hand with his cane. "I didn't give you the opportunity. We have more than 60% of Germany's population, territory and national power. However, in terms of the organization, efficiency and will of the army, you are not as good as the Bavarian Army after all. Is there any doubt about this?"

"All of you here, if you can use resources efficiently like the Kingdom of Bavaria, and then create an army that is both technically and spiritually strong, then good, I can get Ruprecht back to him today. Home."

"But you can't. The weapons of the army have been full of exchanges of interests from the very beginning of cutting metal. In the selection of army officers, the nobles used their rights and connections to interfere wantonly. In order to guarantee the privileges of the Junker nobles, you even restricted The expansion of the army. Can’t you tell the difference? Now, when the soldiers on the front line are lying in the mud trenches and gnawing on the inferior rations, some of you are still keen on doing things with the capitalists that cannot be on the stage. Interest exchange. That's good. Tell me, everyone, according to your conscience, should some people go to the gallows?" The Kaiser's cold words sounded in the room.

"Ruprecht and I are aware of a problem, that is, the empire has reached a critical moment of life and death. I don't know if Ruprecht is selfish, but he has done the best. From production and troops His training and tactical arrangements. This is not only the case with the Bavarian Army and the Bohemia Army under his command. Even the Prussian generals who fought alongside him admire him, not only Mackensen, but also Some people who used to work under your command but who are currently on the Eastern Front share this opinion. They are fighting for victory every day, and victory is indeed coming on schedule. They had only more than 500,000 troops before, but they repeatedly defeated a European power. ."

"Anyone of you, who can rely on 500,000 troops to block the entire Russian offensive and make them pay far more than this amount? A kingdom with only one-fifth of the empire can actually support 30% of the fighting power comparable to Germany. Isn't this a miracle? Don't you know how to be ashamed? When judging each other, don't you think about yourself?" the Kaiser asked back.

"Maybe Ruprecht wants more benefits. This prince has another identity as a businessman." said the prince who had not spoken.

"However, the Balkans is really not suitable for rule. It is too chaotic. Serbia is a country of madmen. Romania is destined to be acquired by Austria-Hungary. Bulgaria is an ally. As for Greece?" Xiao Moqi looked at the German emperor. , Did not say the rest, the king of Greece is the brother-in-law of William II...

"Perhaps Prince Ruprecht just thinks that it is not suitable to divide the troops before the Polish pocket plan is completed?" Teobald von Batemann, who has been silent, said Prime Minister Holvig after thinking about it~www. novelhall.com~Huh? ! "Little Maoqi frowned. The prince only emphasized that there would be no transfer of troops before the Polish Pocket Battle ended, but he did not say that he would not participate in the Balkan battle.

"In other words, we only have to resist for a while? But what if Prince Ruprecht is still unwilling to send the Bavarian Army after the Polish Pocket Battle is over?" Falkingham asked. nonsense! The prince knows that you are carrying it first, and I will go after you know it. If this is the case, Fakingham knows it too! How about the trust between people... Of course, this is not just a question of trust, there is really no way to talk about war.

"Actually, even when the Western Front was in need, the Bavarian Army deployed the most elite troops into the battlefield. The situation in the Balkans was not more difficult to fight than the Western Front, right? And when Bavaria traveled from the Western Front, equipment and personnel There are a lot of losses. They don't have to breach the contract, right?" Duke Marx von Baden said. (This buddy is the last prime minister of the Second German Empire, the younger brother and heir of the Grand Duke of Baden)
