Chapter 1838： Friends and third person

"Are you going to betray me? Cousin?" After the meeting, he looked at the Grand Duke of Baden sitting across from him, and Wilhelm II was furious! He saw that Bavaria could be excluded from the chess game of this domestic game. As a result, it was the most trusted Grand Duke of Baden who eventually undermined his plan! This made the arrogant Kaiser really unbearable. Fastest update

"Your Majesty, you will always be my emperor and my blood relative." Grand Duke Baden bowed and said. "Your Majesty, you still haven't recognized the whole situation until now. Believe me, your Majesty, although the Kingdom of Bavaria is hostile to us, he will never watch your crown fall. In the Prussian Legion, there are many people who treat Germany. The title emperor is already disgusting! Tomorrow, Your Excellency Little Moqi will come here, and he will tell you everything in the army."

"Little Maoqi? Just ask you to help me receive it." The Kaiser said embarrassingly.

"Your Majesty! Don't you even have the courage to face your own mistakes now? You have to take the courage to accept your mistakes. Meeting your most loyal subordinates is the minimum etiquette!" Grand Duke Baden raised his voice and said very dissatisfied. .

"Well, I will meet Xiao Maoqi in person tomorrow." The Kaiser said with ashamed. "Now, what are those generals doing?"

"They are in meetings and receiving information from outside. It seems to be discussing something. I have contacted Admiral Pinov and he warned us to be cautious. As for the specific situation, it seems very unsatisfactory. Crook and several others The attitude of the commander of the group army who was not present tended to be neutral. General Heilingen was on our side, but he caused fierce resistance from his men. In the end, the officers and soldiers rioted after General Heilingen said that he would not let soldiers participate in the civil war. calm.

"That's why you stopped me? As the commander-in-chief of the empire, I have commanded the war on the Western Front for more than two years. Isn't it that in the minds of the soldiers, I have so little status?" The German Emperor said incomprehensibly.

"Your Majesty, the war is not a mistake. The mistake is that in the attrition war of more than two years, we did not make much progress, but paid the price of millions of casualties." The Grand Duke said.

"That's because our opponents are too strong! What Ruprecht faces in the east is just a group of Russians who are like beggars. He can naturally kill the Quartet! This cunning guy, he avoided the hardest fight. On the battlefield of the Germans, go to deal with easy enemies, and then earn prestige and territory! He is an out-and-out speculator!" the Kaiser exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, right or wrong, if you say this, it will cause dissatisfaction even in the Prussian army." Grand Duke Baden shook his head helplessly. It is true that the Bavarian Army did not have a permanent presence on the Western Front. However, they have also fought on the Western Front. Soon after the war, after the first wave of offensive on the Eastern Front came to an end, the Bavarian Army entered the Western Front and launched a battle so far. In the battle that is the closest to Paris so far, the Bavarian Army killed and injured about 80,000 people in this battle. The British and French forces paid at least 240,000. The exchange ratio is terrifying. From this point of view, it can never be said that the Bavarian Army cannot fight.

They all say that the Russian army on the Eastern Front is easy to deal with. That is relatively speaking. In fact, any German general who had been fighting with the Russians for a long time described it after returning. Although the Russian regiment was relatively easy to be defeated, it was difficult to completely wipe out. Before the Polish pocket battle, Mackensen’s troops had the advantage. Although it was possible to penetrate the Russian line of defense time and time again, at that time the Russians could re-stabilize the line of defense as long as they retreated tens of kilometers. Injury but not death was the most troublesome thing for Mackensen. This is what Mackenson has repeatedly mentioned in the report that the Prussian Army lacks penetration capabilities and deep combat capabilities. The Bavarian Army can fight deep encirclement, but the Prussian Army cannot, at least the East Prussian Army does not have this ability.

As for the subsequent series of battles in the Balkans and Asia Minor, the Bavarian Army has been fighting against the elite troops of Britain and France, and the results are obvious to all. The conscientious senior German army would not deny this. The biggest difference between the first-line regiment officer and the Kaiser is that during the war, the regiment needed reliable and capable teammates. As long as they had this, they would not bother. The Kaiser is more political, and he can ignore other aspects for politics.

The Grand Duke of Baden’s dissatisfaction with the Kaiser was because, on the one hand, the Kaiser had said this too much, and on the other hand, he felt that his cousin was never in line with the officer corps, and the starting point for considering the problem was different. In this case, how can you get the support of the officer corps?

"Your Majesty, you haven't figured out one thing yet. Where do you think the power of the emperor comes from?" Grand Duke Baden said with a complicated expression: "Is the monarch power granted by the gods? This statement is just a joke now~www .novelhall.com~ Because of your blood? Are there few kings overthrown in Europe from ancient times to the present? We are human beings. Although family origin gives us the opportunity to sit where we are today, in essence, if If we want to stay firmly in this position, first, we need to be able. Second, we need to get the support of as many people as possible."

"And now? Put aside the first point. As for the second point, who do you think will truly support you within Germany? The Social Democratic Party is your enemy, and those capitalists and financiers are behind the scenes. Also, some Junker nobles can be ready to change their courts at any time. The military is worried that your arbitrariness may lead to disastrous consequences. As for ordinary people? Well, I personally feel that you are not doing as much to them as Prime Minister Bismarck did. Although the latter can take up the weapon in his hand to suppress the uprising without hesitation, at the same time, he really cares about the lives of the people."

"Your Majesty, don't you think you are lonely? You don't even have a truly trustworthy force. You are too arrogant, and too superstitious of political skills, but you have ignored the most basic requirements of a king. You cannot unite Most people, let alone bring enough benefits to most people, this is the biggest problem.” Grand Duke Baden didn’t want to say these things, but he knew that if he didn’t say it today, it might be too late. !

"So, your Majesty, if you want to change first, then start from tomorrow, start from meeting Xiao Maoqi, listen to his opinions carefully, and then we will discuss the long-term plan." Grand Prince Baden said earnestly.
