Chapter 1725： Hindenburg III

Chapter 1725 Hindenburg (3)

In fact, the veteran Mackensen did not ask for so many troops. After Hindenburg issued a troop transfer order, Marshal Mackensen, who learned of the news, asked for a reduction in the size of the reinforcements and the replacement of some reinforcements. Army, what he asked for was a more elite army, not a large number but average combat force, but unfortunately, this request was rejected by the German General Staff! In other words, it was rejected by Hindenburg, and Ruprecht even thought that the Kaiser did not see Mackensen's report at all!

Was it unexpected that the report of the commander of a front army could not reach the sky? Surprised? In fact, there is nothing, you think you can chat with the emperor if you think it is a person? In fact, think of the Bismarck period, when he was as strong as the old Mochi, when such a German chief of staff met with the emperor, he had to greet Bismarck first, and at the same time, he had to chat with the emperor in the presence of the prime minister. It is normal for Hindenburg to suppress a report of a certain front as the chief of the general staff. Not to mention that Mackensen cannot return to Brussels and Hindenburg now. Even if he can return, Germany The emperor can you see if you want? ! Are you kidding me? !

"William is really stunned, a series of stinky moves!" Prince Leopold made no secret of his contempt for the German military ability. "Moreover, I feel that there is a problem with this Hindenburg!" The prince stopped speaking after speaking, looking at the prince, waiting for Ruprecht to make his decision!

"From a military perspective, this is a very bad move. The so-called reason can only persuade a rookie like William II, uncle, let us see the situation after the transfer is completed." Ruprecht finished. , Put down the tea cup in his hand, took the putter and walked to the huge map hanging on the wall.

"The troops on the western front are a bit nervous now. If Britain and France launch an offensive, then I am afraid that all the reserves on the western front will have to go up and it will be impossible to deal with other things. What about the eastern front? Although the force is very sufficient, it is too large. The size and the terrible environment of the Eastern Front slowed down the reaction speed of the Mackensen Army. Once the Mackensen Army launched an offensive against Russia, it would be like a train that could not stop the car. It would be no problem to hit it directly, but It’s difficult to brake and then turn a corner."

"And then there are us. At least on the surface, our garrison in Bavaria is only 80,000 people. It is no problem to ensure our own stability. However, if we want to interfere in Prussian internal affairs, we are too weak! This, at least on the surface. The upper reassurance reassures the Kaiser, and also reassures other people. Therefore, in the eyes of some people who have other ideas, the whole of Germany is now outside and inside. If they can master a part of the newly formed troops, then it really is Controlling the domestic situation, if you think about Hindenburg's idea of ​​equipping new troops with heavy weapons, this result is obvious!" The prince had a smile on his face, but now he has become completely cold and serious! Because Ruprecht knew that the time to decide fate had arrived!

"Whether Hindenburg has reached an agreement with the Social Democrats or maintains the so-called goodwill neutrality, at least Prussia's influence on the first half of our plan is almost zero. If nothing unexpected happens, we can calmly clean up. Hungary, then, my wife becomes the queen, and the direct descendants of the Wittelsbach family will become the next crown prince.” said the prince.

"However, I have always wondered. Hindenburg has become the chief of staff. Why can he reach an agreement with the Social Democrats?" At this moment, Leo himself is considered a half statesman. Although Prince Pod had thought of the possibility of Hindenburg, he was still puzzled. After all, he was already an extremely human minister. If you don’t want to split the earth and become the king, as a Prussian, this is already possible. Why should he Take huge risks and reach agreement with the Social Democrats? Leopold couldn't figure it out.

"First of all, first, it can be said that Hindenburg can become the chief of staff. It can be said that it is half of the unexpected luck. If it were not for the little Mochi to openly communicate with the Grand Duke of Baden and talk a lot of topics that make the Kaiser dread, the Kaiser would not Get rid of Xiao Moqi. And you and I know what Hindenburg did before, but it is only in charge of logistics. At this time, if the Social Democratic Party proposes a more attractive condition, Hindenburg It's completely possible to turn a fight, after all, he and the noble army are not the same.

"Secondly, Hindenburg is also very clear that the Kaiser wants to make himself the chief of staff only as a puppet. Now it is just an emergency. It is estimated that after this period of time has passed, the Kaiser will be replaced immediately. Tell a joke , If Bavaria goes to the Western Front next year, and I go to the German General Staff, my uncle thinks, who will be the commander of the Western Front?" The prince said with a smile.

"Fuck, I have never seen such a shameless person, even if it is true, you can't say it yourself! I don't have a nephew like you!" Prince Leopold was shocked by Ruprecht's face! But the prince is right. With Ruprecht’s record he has arrived on the Western Front. He must have the final say. Even without the rank of chief of staff, this command is really compatible. Hindenburg is okay, the Kaiser will recognize the prince, because fighting is really an honest thing!

As for the third point, the prince did not say to Prince Leopold, because in history, when Germany launched a revolution (sensitive) when it was troubled internally and externally, even if some military officers were willing to suppress them, they were the general staff. The long Hindenburg did not agree. Instead, he persuaded the Kaiser to abdicate. Leaving aside what Hindenburg’s real thoughts were, his behavior clearly showed that even when the Kaiser fully trusted him and gave him a heavy responsibility, he still Choosing to stand on the sidelines, this shows that, in essence, Hindenburg and the Kaiser, and those who only depend on the imperial power are not the same way!

And now, Hindenburg is much worse than in history, and he has a very low status without exploits. He belongs to the kind that can be considered for retirement after the war... He is even less likely to be loyal to the Kaiser. Moreover, his class and the people around him have no direct relationship with the German aristocratic army. Therefore, whether it is for personal purposes or for the benefit of his own group, if he can let the German army headed by the Kaiser go down at this time, he It is undoubtedly profitable.
