"And you have said that this generation of Ruprecht is impossible, and the Bavarian side not only verbally, but also the actual performance also shows that the two countries will not merge. We can only take care of the current affairs, as for how many Ten years later, that is not what we can manage. His Royal Highness Ruprecht can live for decades, and my old man does not have that long life." Crook finished speaking and nodded General Pinov: "It's the same with you, you can't see that day, so we don't have to deal with things decades later."
"Crook, you old fellow, be careful when you speak! If it were in the era of General Maoqi, I would teach you how to speak with a pistol." Pinov said angrily.
"Well, General Pinov, what Crook said was really harsh, but he said it makes sense. At least we can't judge Bavaria's independence from Germany by speculation. At least there is no sign now, anyway, mine. The Seventh Army will not take any action. We should not adopt extreme threat actions now because we subjectively believe that there may be some kind of threat in a few decades. If this really conflicts, I am afraid Is it the sky and the earth?" General Howson said.
"I, I certainly would not agree to war with Bavaria, but I want to say that we can rely on the deterrence of the army to remind Bavaria." Pinov said with some embarrassment, although he was very upset with Bavaria's behavior, but He really wouldn't use force in this situation.
"Shock? In your opinion, Crown Prince Ruprecht was frightened? The Bavarian Legion and the Austrians directly killed the Russians and even the Balkans and Asia Minor. They killed no less than 3 million enemies. Are you afraid of these few group armies that we can't move?" General Howson showed a trace of contempt in his eyes. This is an insult to his IQ!
"Everyone, I think that this time we came to Brussels not to sit together in delusions about the development of things. Since Bavaria has made a promise, based on the consistent performance of Prince Ruprecht before, then we should at least give some If anyone is really willing to rely on force to achieve their goals, please do so. As long as His Royal Highness keeps his promise, then my army will never send any unfriendly signals to the Kingdom of Bavaria." , The Grand Duke of Württemberg expressed his attitude.
"My point of view is the same as that of the Grand Duke. In addition, I want to remind someone that what you think is different from what the officer below thinks. Even the most loyal to the royal family, the Prince William army is facing There are big differences on the parliamentary issue, and I would like to know how many people in someone's army are willing to carry out this apparently mindless idea with an old thing." Admiral Crook followed up to make up for it.
"We are all Prussians. It is our accusation to maintain the Prussian imperial power and the core position of the empire. But now, we are watching Bavaria grow bigger, even to the point of threatening the central government and indifferent. This is in line with our duties and pledge Contrary." Seeing that he was isolated, General Pinov's attitude softened, but he still didn't want to give up. As a relatively old-fashioned Prussian soldier, his attitude towards Bavaria is not good.
"However, we must first be loyal to the country. When the national interest is paramount, the interests of certain people can be sacrificed. If we want to win the war, we must rely on the Bavarian Army. As for the Emperor? I can only say At this point, the Kaiser’s own mistakes accounted for more than 50% of the reason. He personally destroyed the political alliance with Bavaria, giving the Social Democratic Party a chance, and at the same time, it also promoted from another aspect. The proximity of Bavaria and Austria. What’s even more absurd is that the German Emperor actually admitted Hindenburg as the chief of staff, and this chief of staff betrayed him! His majesty’s military talent and level of knowledge are really worrying. ! People have to take responsibility for doing something wrong." Crook expressed his dissatisfaction with the Kaiser.
"Actually, I think we are discussing this issue now, it is better to think about where the German army will go in the future, and what will happen to the German regime in the future? This is the most important thing. After all, the current domestic political situation is not clear. It is hard to say who the emperor and the parliament will win. The attitude of the Kingdom of Bavaria is not clear. Perhaps this time Prince Leopold’s visit is the last test, and then Crown Prince Ruprecht has to make a choice." Pointing to Pinov: "If you are really loyal to His Majesty the Kaiser, then I hope you can explain your interests to His Majesty the Kaiser, this time you must not choose the wrong one again!"
"If Bavaria is on the side of the parliament, you seem to intend to remain indifferent?" Pinov asked.
"You all know the military situation on the Western Front Including the reserve team, there are a total of eight army groups. The only ones who are pro-German are the Prince William army and your Pinov army. General Heilingen Although leaning towards the Kaiser, his subordinates did not agree, and even caused a mutiny because of the order issue. As a result, with the help of General Crook, the two sides reached an agreement that the army of General Heilingen would not participate in the internal conflict. . This matter is just let go."
"In other words, from a military point of view, only you two really support the Kaiser and may take action. For the time being, even if your two armies can mobilize more than half of the forces, we can barely make up one army, then tell me , Facing the Bavarian Army, if there really is a conflict, do you have the slightest chance of winning?" General Howson asked.
"I know, you also want to say that General Mackensen of the Eastern Front Army is on the side of His Majesty the Kaiser, but don’t forget that in winter, the Mackensen Army must ensure the stability of the Eastern Front on the one hand, but also cannot Large-scale mobilization in the winter, if you want to come back, you have to wait until the beginning of spring, and now, the internal problems in Germany may soon be resolved, and Mackensen is too late." General Howson's words finally broke Pinov's illusion.
"There is also a very troublesome problem, that is, the navy's attitude is very ambiguous. Admiral Scheer, who controls the coastal areas, does not seem to be satisfied with the Kaiser. Otherwise, they can use warships and icebreakers to remove Mackensen’s troops from Shipped back from the east. General Scheer and I talked on the phone, and he seemed to prefer to resolve the problem through negotiation between the two sides." At this moment, Grand Duke Albrecht said.
