Chapter 1613 The eye behind the back 1

"No problem?" The Kaiser frowned and said. He can now be sure that there will definitely be some transactions between Austria and Bavaria. The Austrian Emperor wants to establish a centralized federal state, and the Bavarian Legion directly helps the Austria-Hungary Empire resist the pressure of the Eastern Front. If there is no guarantee from Ruprecht, I am afraid that the Austrian emperor would not dare to directly attack Hungary. After all, the crisis in Hungary is due to the defeat on the battlefield. The lesson is not far away. It is impossible for Fritz not to consider this issue. .

"There is no problem. His Royal Highness Ruprecht has completely fulfilled your order. He did not interfere with the internal affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He also guaranteed the stability of the Eastern Front. The only questionable area is Asia Minor, but His Highness has just promised In one month, the total number of Bavarian troops in Asia Minor can reach about 250,000. It is enough to repel the British and French coalition forces." Xiao Maoqi said.

"250,000?!" The Kaiser was a little shocked. You must know that the Bavarian Army is now fighting on the Eastern Front, the Balkans and Asia Minor at the same time. Asia Minor is not the big one, and there are more troops on the Eastern Front! Even without considering the domestic garrison and reserve forces in Bavaria and Bohemia, the Bavarian Legion has gathered at least 600,000! In terms of combat effectiveness, the equivalent of 800,000 Prussian troops is enough! This scale is the largest army group on the Western Front!

You must know that in history, after the end of the Eastern Front in 1918, Germany had only 4 million troops on the entire Western Front. To put it bluntly, the Bavarian Army and the Bohemian Army are talking about combat effectiveness, at least. More than 30% of the German army! The fact that a kingdom with an area of ​​less than one-seventh of the total German territory can have such a powerful military force is indeed shocking to the Kaiser!

"Is this the limit?" The Kaiser seemed to be talking to himself, as if asking the person next to him.

"Even if measured by the financial and material resources of Bavaria and Bohemia, the support of this army is almost to the limit of the Wittelsbach family. Especially once the war in Asia Minor officially begins, the battlefield consumption will be very serious. The horrible figures, although closer to the oilfields, the local refining capacity of Turkey is very limited. A large amount of aviation fuel and ammunition still have to be transferred from the local area. At this time, His Highness Ruprecht will not, can, and will not be distracted. Thoughtful."

Xiao Moqi was also taken aback. Although he inherited the idea that the German military aristocracy would not intervene in politics as much as possible, even in his position, even insensitive people could feel that the contradiction between Prussia and Bavaria began to intensify. The attitude of the matter is neutral. What if the two kingdoms fight again? It's just a division of interests at the political level. Are you really planning to use the sword? It doesn't matter whether Bavaria is still weak, but no matter how weak they are, they have the ability to drag Prussia to death. No one wants to resort to force except for those with problems in their heads. Moreover, under the current circumstances, although the Eastern Route is about to end, Xiao Maoqi still believes that the distribution of benefits is still too early. As long as you have to encircle Paris, discuss it when the situation is stable. Therefore, at this time, what Xiao Moqi had to do was not to extinguish the fire, but to put out the fire.

"Well, what I want to say is, does Austria have anything to do with the Kingdom of Bavaria for being so bold? What have they discussed? I regret it now and let the Wittelsbach family get the Bohemian The governance of Asia is not a good choice. Without Bohemia and Moravia, the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion would be at least 30% less." The Kaiser simply made it clear.

"Your Majesty, in that case, we might have to draw a group army from the Western Front to plug the gap in the Eastern Front or Asia Minor. The same people and equipment in Austrian hands are not as good as those in Bavarian hands. And, most importantly, If the power of His Highness Ruprecht is not strong enough, then we may face more domestic pressure."

Prime Minister Holvig next to him is also a little bit unwilling. He doesn’t know much about military affairs, but he knows that as the war ends, political issues will become more sensitive. If the Kaiser wants to attack domestic political parties. If it does, it really needs a reliable force. Is the Prussian army reliable? I can only say roughly. The reason is very simple. After the war, the army expanded too fast. The Junker nobles alone controlled the army. It has become history. There are a large number of other classes in the middle and lower-level officers. They are between them and the Social National Party. The relationship is too close. Of course, the relationship between the Junker noble and the big factory owner is also very close...

The army does not need to rebel, and as long as they remain neutral, simple mass strikes and unrest can force the Kaiser to accept the demands of the Parliament. According to the plan made by Holwig and Wilhelm II, once things were uncontrollable inhabitants, the Bavarian military industry would temporarily support the consumption of the entire Western Front, and ensure the stability of the frontal front. Then the Kaiser drew troops from the Western Front and The Bavarian army will exercise control over the country, so that they can be sure of nothing. And now. The biggest hidden danger in Prussia hasn't been dealt with , have you started to consider calculating companions? How does this TM look unreliable!

"Well, if that's the case, let's do it first. Ruprecht will continue to be responsible for the Eastern Front, the Balkans and Asia Minor. All plans remain unchanged. In addition, our battle on the Western Front will begin soon, and we will launch another one. Wave offensive, and then it will be winter." The Kaiser suppressed other thoughts and said.

William II is a person who thinks a lot. Sometimes he is easy to get angry when he does things, and even causes a lot of trouble. But the so-called coming and going fast, Wilhelm II’s mentality towards Bavaria is very complicated. There must be hostility and worries, but at the same time, both sides are partners on the whole. Therefore, both military and political leaders think that After it was not suitable to provoke Bavaria at this time, Wilhelm II temporarily put down his vigilance against Bavaria. Perhaps, he already had this idea, but he just needed to ask others for proof in order to obtain psychological comfort!

However, what the Kaiser did not expect was that in Germany, not only did he stare at the movement of the Kingdom of Bavaria, but also in the Parliament, his eyes were also staring at the kingdom in the south, and he even calculated the power held by Bavaria militarily. How much is used!
