Chapter 1748: Application

"Is there no other choice?" Prime Minister Tirpitz asked.

"No, the High Seas Fleet can only have a chance to defeat the British under the leadership of Prince Ruprecht and the full cooperation of the Bavarian Air Force. Now, we do not have any of the conditions." Admiral Scheer Replied.

"However, you already know the threat of Ludendorff. Under the current circumstances, the navy may be marginalized. We will receive less supplies. The navy’s normal training and operations may be affected, and fleet personnel will also be affected. There have been some conflicts over the issue of wages and treatment. That’s good, everyone here, have you figured out how to deal with it?" Tirpitz asked.

"Will the moral emperor agree to this absurd proposal? Don't we have the opportunity to meet the emperor?" Hipper asked on the side.

"It is very possible that the German emperor used the navy more as a political tool and a totem. Although we have paid a lot and achieved a lot of success, the emperor still did not realize the importance of the navy for the future German Empire. Sex, and the particularity of the navy.” Tirpitz paused and continued: “Although it’s not good to say that, I have to say that His Majesty doesn’t understand navy at all. If he can have Ruprecht If the crown prince has half the navy training, then we will be much better."

"I agree with your opinion, Your Excellency Marshal." Admiral Scheer said, and the others also nodded to express their agreement with the Marshal's opinion... If Crown Prince Ruprecht is here, and hearing what Tirpitz said, I’m afraid he will also despise the admiral, because the latter is not only firm-willed, able to get a budget, and a very good naval office. Outside of the bureaucracy, in history, this buddy's fleet plan was really terrible.......

However, what Tirpitz said earlier is correct. Although the Kaiser likes the navy very much, likes the high seas fleet, and is willing to invest in support, it is really just a political tool and Totem, the former is just to give more social personnel a way to rise in the army, and at the same time as a symbol of the expansion of the empire, as for the latter? The Germans even hoped to use the army to get down to France quickly, and then force the British to submit with a relatively complete high seas fleet.

Until now, the Kaiser still did not use the High Seas Fleet as a tool to determine the outcome. In his opinion, the Army might be better used! So, coupled with the German fleet’s refusal to attack and put aside the things that are not needed for the time being, wouldn’t it be a good decision to supply limited supplies to the land warfare? At least the Kaiser thought so!

"If the Kaiser must reduce the navy's supplies and the treatment of officers and soldiers, I hope you can try to fight for the navy." Faced with this situation, Scheer was completely speechless.

"I will try my best," Tirpitz said.

"In addition, your Excellency Marshal, we have here a letter from the Crown Prince of Bavaria to the Kaiser. We hope you can give it to His Majesty the Kaiser when you are alone with the Kaiser. Don’t let anyone know, including Ludendorff and Chief of Staff Hindenburg. ." After speaking, Scheer took out a titled document bag from the document bag and sent it to Tirpitz.

"You actually had a private contact with His Royal Highness Ruprecht? You still want to be a messenger for him?" Tirpitz said somewhat unexpectedly as he watched Scheer's movements, turning his gaze to Hipper. , Want to get some information from the eyes of the latter! The meaning in his eyes was already clear: "Say! Did your scheming Scheer contact the crown prince?"

"Here is also an autograph letter from General Mochi to you. I hope you can read it. In order to keep it confidential, I hope you can read it here and then destroy it. I believe that after reading this letter, you will believe our Loyal, and can understand why the Emperor’s military mobilization has recently had various problems.” Scheer said, and sent another document to Tirpitz.

"Little Maoqi? This guy is indeed loyal to your Majesty, and it is indeed embarrassing to fall to such a result." To be honest, Tirpitz has no good feelings for Xiao Maoqi. This has nothing to do with character. As far as Tirpitz is fighting for the navy's budget and Xiao Moqi is fighting for the army's budget, the relationship between the two parties is absolutely impossible! When it comes to money, is it relevant? !

But now, Xiao Maoqi has been "retired". The conflict between the two sides no longer exists, let's look at the current situation of Xiao Maoqi... Tirpitz also feels a bit sad, and, as Scheer and others have said, if you talk about the degree of loyalty, Tirpitz also thinks that Xiao Maoqi is definitely the most loyal group!

Tirpitz was a little surprised about the little Moqi's involvement in the navy. He wanted to know what happened to make this retired guy jump up and down like this? Is the pension not enough? Or some other reason? No matter what Tirpitz opened the letter suspiciously, and read the letter from Xiao Maoqi under the watchful eyes of Scheer and others.

Little Mao Qi did not mention in his letter that he suspected that Hindenburg or some people in the General Staff might have been bought by the Social Democratic Party. It was useless to mention this, instead, it made Tirpitz suspect that he was dissatisfied and prepared to take the knife to kill. He only said in the letter that the high-level German high seas fleet, including Scheer and Hipper, is loyal to the Kaiser, and now Germany is very empty. In order to deal with some possible changes, Tirpitz should try his best to serve the navy. Strive for a larger "scope of activity"! For example, the actual control of all ports and terminals! Another example is the control over some coastal cities!

"There is nothing wrong with this." After thinking about it, Tirpitz handed the letter from Xiao Maoqi to others. After Scheer and others read it, Tirpitz said.

"The Kaiser also knows about the emptiness in Germany, and has already begun to prepare for adjustments, but I am afraid it will be too late in a short time. I can suggest that the Kaiser take over the security of some port cities. Is it useful? We will find some work for the navy personnel and let them be responsible for some tasks originally undertaken by the military gendarmerie and the police. At least, in the event of a disturbance, we can guarantee that there are no problems in the German coastal areas." Ci said.

"No problem, I will try to arm the crew who are loyal to us and give them weapons." Admiral Scheer said.
