"Pinov, forgive us. I participated in the Ninth Army incident. I was really scared at that moment when faced with the disobeying officers and soldiers. I can't imagine when one of us issued an order to aim the gun at civilians and During the Bavarian Army, what will happen to the army. And as an imperial soldier, we cannot cause a massacre or a large-scale civil war in Germany. Loyalty to the country is more than personal. Me and the other four The commander who is not present at the meeting has the same attitude. Maybe we will be liquidated by some people in the end, but we do not regret the decision made today." The respected Crook finally said.
"I will explain this to your majesty." Admiral Pinov said with a long sigh. After speaking, Admiral Pinov no longer intends to stay here. After all, in today's meeting, he is a minority and an isolated party. I originally had two purposes. The first purpose was to deter Bavaria through the German army, and the second purpose was to get the army to unite in support of the Kaiser. However, neither of these two goals was achieved. That being the case, he also felt that there was no point in staying here.
"General Pinoff, please wait a minute." Just when Pinoff wanted to leave, the Grand Duke of Württemberg stopped him again. "I feel that it is a rare opportunity for us to sit here together this time and gather the top ranks of the German first-line army. Therefore, we must first consider some issues. I think that after experiencing this, whether it is Prussia, Or the German officer regiment will never be able to return to the situation before World War I."
"What do you mean?!" Admiral Howson said with a frown.
"Politically speaking, even if His Majesty the Kaiser returns to Berlin this time, it is impossible to completely liquidate the Social Democratic Party, and it is impossible for his own prestige and rights to return to before the First World War. Because all of us here cannot face ourselves Indiscriminate bombing of the city. The Social Democratic Party has a certain mass basis this time, and the navy and most of the army are neutral. Therefore, the most likely solution is peace talks. And what is the outcome of the peace talks? That's hard to say."
"From a military point of view, the history of the officer regiment controlling the German army may be over. I don't want to say more about other reasons. Only one is enough. In this war, thousands of military aristocrats died out. We. Too many people died in the battle, and the vacant positions must be filled, and the number of Junker nobles is not enough. From now on, the large-scale disobedience of middle and low-level officers has already explained this problem." Albrecht Said the king.
"It seems that we won the war, but lost the army." Pinov hesitated and sat back again. Although the Grand Duke of Württemberg had been targeting himself since the beginning of the meeting, now Pinov The admiral's perception of the Grand Duke is not bad, because what the Grand Duke said just now has no selfish interest. It is really for the generals of the German Army.
After the war, the status of soldiers will definitely decline, but it is nothing for Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg. They are the authentic Württemberg royal family, even without military rank, they are still the top nobles in Germany. Coupled with the experience of serving in the army, the benefits will definitely not be small. And these officers? After the war, there could not be so many generals in the army, and quite a few of them had to retire. The people present here are all bigwigs in the military. Even though they can not pay attention to their own gains and losses, but who can get to this point does not have a bunch of old people? Who has no social connections? As sabre nobles, they have to think about themselves.
"Your Excellency, did you get some new news?" Pinov hesitated, and for the first time faced the Archduke of Württemberg with a respectful word. To tell the truth, Admiral Pinov has no good feelings for this high-ranking noble from the southern kingdom.
"In chatting with General Hall, he mentioned some of Prince Ruprecht’s post-war ideas. I think some points are very interesting. Of course, I am not sure that some of them are correct, so I want to be here. Discuss with everyone." The Duke said.
"First of all, His Royal Highness believes that after the war, the size of the army will indeed be abolished, but a large-scale restoration in a short period of time is not good for the entire empire. Because a large amount of labor for military production will be transferred to Civilian enterprises, the social system needs to absorb this part of the labor force first, and then it can become the army. Therefore, after the war, the level of military equipment will decline in a short time, but the number of Bavarian Army Corps will not decline fast." .
"Seal or dispose of equipment can indeed reduce military expenditure standards, but again, so many soldiers still cost a lot of money, and keeping them alone is not a way." Crook thought for a while and said.
"So Bavaria’s approach is to build some military farms. Or some new national projects. We have a large number of colonies in the east. The infrastructure and industries in these places need to be built, so we use the state Capital and the military used to build these projects, on the one hand, reduced the social pressure caused by the massive recovery of the military, and on the other hand, it also created employment and social wealth," said Dagong.
"Bavaria can do this, but Prussia may not do it. Relatively speaking, the Prussian state is not richer than Bavaria. A considerable part of our income flows into the hands of capitalists. Bavaria does not have a strong monopolistic oligarch, so their national income Relatively high." General Howson said.
"I also asked about what to do with the armies of Prussia and other kingdoms. General Hall's suggestion is that this part of the army can still be retained and used for the development of new colonies in Africa! Crown Prince Ruprecht Said that in the future Federal Parliament and the Reichstag, the Kingdom of Bavaria can promote the passage of this resolution and is willing to fund this work, and, if possible, he also wants to promote the migration of native residents to the colony." The Grand Duke finished. Then I watched the reactions of everyone present.
"I have to say that at this point, Prince Ruprecht really solved the big problem of the army." Pinov said, rubbing his chin, and nothing else, if the colony is to spread the infrastructure on a large scale, And if military personnel are used for execution, then the military status of these troops will be guaranteed at least, and the treatment will also be guaranteed...
