"So far, the Kaiser has still failed to take effective actions to prevent instability in the country. It is really worrying." In the study of the Grand Duke of Baden, he looked at the hurried little Mochi and Grand Duke of Baden. Said with a sigh.
"This is also impossible. Although His Majesty the Kaiser has realized that there may be some problems, he did not regard it as a real threat. Moreover, the abnormal actions of Britain and France in the winter put us very tight on the Western Front. Your Majesty The troops that can be mobilized are also very limited. If a fierce conflict breaks out in the country at this time, it will be very dangerous. Therefore, at present, your Majesty is only seeking to stabilize the Western Front and the important industrial areas in the western part of the empire, and he is also hoarding supplies. If you can respond, at present The move is quite appropriate." Xiao Maoqi said.
In the eyes of Xiao Maoqi, the Kaiser did not realize the seriousness of the incident, but did very well. It is also the best situation that the Germans on the Western Front can do. It was not that the Grand Duke of Baden never thought of meeting the Kaiser again, but because he failed to submit it under various complicated circumstances.
First, after the British and French allied forces launched a large-scale offensive on the Western Front, the Kaiser and some of the German General Staff left Brussels to supervise the battle. Secondly, as the head of the Grand Duchy of Baden, he also faintly felt that the domestic situation was a bit unstable. In this incident, what was the most reliable one? Naturally, it is the army and weapons in his hand. In this case, Grand Duke Baden must first ensure the stability of his own country... Therefore, the Grand Duke of Baden is now stepping up preparations for war, and a large number of troops loyal to the Grand Duke himself have been organized to prepare for emergencies. (In addition to the kingdom, each Grand Duchy also has regiment-level combat units. Of course, it is incomparable with the army of Bavaria with a standing army of more than 100,000.)
Although it’s very concealed by Little Mochi when he came to the Grand Duke of Baden, it is impossible to hide from everyone’s eyes. Fortunately, the Grand Duke of Baden is the fifth man in the empire and the in-laws of the German Emperor. So the Kaiser is willing to open one eye and close another. As for other forces? They have no right to restrict Little Moqi's actions.
As a former high-ranking general of the German army, Xiao Moqi was very aware of the distribution of military forces within the entire empire. He understood that the key to the problem this time was the attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Therefore, the day after he came to the Grand Duchy of Baden, He tried to contact King Ludwig III of Bavaria in Munich, hoping to get his help. He also requested a conference call with Crown Prince Ruprecht, who is leading the battle on the Eastern Front.
And the result was very disappointing to Xiao Moqi. Bavaria was very indifferent to the storm brewing in Prussia. They just said that they can definitely manage the "things within their share". But for the outside, they don't care what Prussia is, because this is the "King of Prussia" matter.
"Don't these Southern Catholics know that what the Social Democrats want is a unified parliamentary government? Once they succeed, will they turn their heads and attack other kingdoms?" After learning the situation, Grand Duke Baden said angrily.
"No, your Highness, no one can force Bavaria to do anything he doesn't want to do after the war, and the imperial army will not agree to it. If Prussia fails, the main reason is internal, and there is no hidden danger inside Bavaria. "Little Maoqi shook his head helplessly. To this day, Xiao Maozhi realized that Prussia is truly weak in the struggle against the parliamentarians, because the fortress is always broken from within!
Although the Bavarian Legion expressed its unwillingness to engage in the struggle within Prussia, it was due to the face of the Grand Duke of Baden and Little Mochi. Bavaria still provided some equipment and supplies. In the phone call between Crown Prince Ruprecht and Xiao Moqi, the Crown Prince also mentioned the suggestion to cooperate with naval personnel to stabilize the German coastal cities. This is mainly to ensure the safety of materials shipped from overseas and the normal consumption of the western line. . After several exchanges, Ruprecht gave Little Moch the feeling that although the prince was unwilling to help Prussia for various reasons, he was at least inclined to the Kaiser, or to stabilize the Western Front first. Situation.
Then, after the Grand Duke of Baden came forward, during the negotiations with Württemberg and the Kingdom of Saxony, the other two countries had much stronger armed forces, but the main force was still transferred to the Western Front. At the same time, the two kings stated that they must first stabilize the domestic situation. As for the internal turmoil in Prussia, the two countries expressed "more than one heart but not enough energy."
In addition to liaising with the major power factions within the German Empire, Xiao Moqi also used his relationship to discuss with some members of the military. However, to Xiao Maoqi’s surprise, the reaction in the military was unusually bad Most people were holding the fence-riding mentality, either saying that this is unlikely to happen, or that it will happen in time. Follow the orders of the General Staff. Hemp egg! In the eyes of Xiao Maoqi, there must be a problem with the current German General Staff, waiting for Hindenburg's order? That's not funny!
"We defeated the veteran empire on the battlefield, but when faced with the dark arrows in the country, we were weak." Xiao Maoqi lamented.
"If we can stabilize the Western Front, after repelling the frontal British and French offensive, we will have sufficient troops to deal with the domestic crisis. So far, other kingdoms and navies have been based on ensuring stability. The situation should be considered favorable to us. After all, even if the Empire can only put in half of its power, it is enough to block the opponent on the Western Front. Am I correct to say this?" Grand Duke Baden asked.
"Your analysis has some truth. If it is true from the perspective of military strength, the biggest problem is that a considerable part of the army has been bought or vacillated. It is totally unrealistic to expect them to extinguish the riots. And once the Parliament controls a large number of After the city and traffic, the emperor may only accept their demands under pressure. After all, after losing the force of the army, the emperor has no cards for this situation." Little Moqi said.
"Then what shall we do if things really break out?" Grand Duke Baden asked.
"It's very simple. Launch the most fierce offensive with the power in our hands, first kill a part of it, and then frighten a group of people! We can only rely on ourselves to advance or retreat!" Xiao Maoqi said.
