Chapter 1839： Friends and third person

"Your Majesty, your loyal servants are here to meet you." When he saw the Kaiser, Little Maoqi still bowed and saluted as before, without any negligence. It seems that the current William II is still the emperor who said one thing!

"General, I swear that I will correct my mistakes, and the glory of the Black Hawk Knights will surely reappear." The Kaiser was really moved. He rarely admitted his mistakes, and later mentioned the Black Hawk Knights. It also emphasizes that the emperor and the nobles gathered around him will be revived! It symbolizes that he will still maintain the alliance between the emperor and the nobility like the ancestors of Prussia.

"Well, two, our time is very tight. Now, General Xiao Moqi, let's talk about the internal situation of the army as you know it." Grand Duke Baden came out and asked the two of them to enter the topic immediately.

"What is the attitude of the generals on the Western Front?" the Kaiser asked.

"About 30% of generals and above are inclined to us, and the remaining 50% are neutral, and less than 20% say that they will never participate in a civil war. On the surface, we have an advantage, but, Among the middle and lower-level military officers, most of them are unwilling to participate in the civil war, and many people think that the power proposed by Albert is handed over to the parliament, and reforming the imperial government is a good decision. And because of the existence of this reason, no Shao's officers who were inclined to us also chose neutral." Xiao Maoqi said.

"So, what do those neutral officers want? More noble titles? Money? Or political interests? They always want something, right?" William II said.

"Actually, they are not lacking these, Your Majesty, from a personal point of view, they are already an extremely human minister. They have reached the pinnacle. From a personal point of view, they are now more concerned about the reputation behind them. They don't want to retire under the name of a butcher. From the point of view of public interest, they hope to have a stronger empire and a platform that can fully realize the value of soldiers!" Xiao Maoqi said.

"I can give them a reputation. As for their ambitions? Haven't I already given them? After the war is won, they are all heroes. They will share the glory with the empire." William II said.

"No, Your Highness, you don't understand. This honor is not a so-called medal or award. It is recognized by society. Even if they suppressed the rebellion, even if their hands were bloodied, they became the duke of the empire, but the people would not think so. , And moral condemnation will accompany them throughout their lives. In our battle to suppress the rebels, we all avoided the city and unanimously chose to fight in the wilderness, and this is the reason."

"As for the future of the empire, in fact, your Majesty, many people are not satisfied with your rule. Your self-feeling is a little too good. And your credibility is a little in arrears." Xiao Maoqi said with a weird expression: " Many Prussian officers would rather trust His Majesty Ruprecht’s guarantee than His Majesty’s promise. And the high seas fleet you built can receive orders from Bavaria, but has a bit of malice towards you. It’s hard to understand, but This is the truth."

"It is true that you can say that political fraud is a normal thing, and you can also put on it to protect Prussian rights. However, to break the contract is to break the contract, and its essence will not be due to certain excuses or certain people. His defense has changed. Maybe, once or twice, it’s okay. But if the number of times is too much, in this turbulent situation, your position is already unstable, and your promise is somewhat credible. You are the emperor, but no one wants to be born a slave. Many people have illusions about the parliamentary system, so in their hearts they seem to have a try." Xiao Maoqi explained.

"Then why is Bavaria in the south not affected by this incident?" the Kaiser asked.

"First, it is because of the restrictions on political parties in the Kingdom of Bavaria and historical reasons. After all, the Social Democrats are mainly Protestants, and the Catholic Central Party in the south, and this party has a very poor foundation in Bavaria. Another reason is that there is one in the Kingdom of Bavaria. A huge class that supports the royal power. These people may have been aristocrats, scholars, intellectuals, or even came from the poor, but they have become a wealthy class now. They share the royal power.” Grand Duke Baden explained. Tao.

"If we cannot mobilize sufficient troops on the Western Front, what about the Eastern Front? Mackensen is loyal to us, and many of them are East Prussians. They have fought for the royal family for generations, and the Hohenzollern family also Give them glory and wealth." The Kaiser thought for a while and said.

"What do you say about this question? General Mackenson is willing to help, and there are also loyal to your Majesty in the army, but unfortunately, their supplies have been very problematic recently, and the parliamentary faction has restricted the movement of supplies to the east. And the navy's attitude in this regard It’s not clear that General Mackenson is going to hold talks with Commander Scheer tomorrow. The meeting will be held in the Gulf of Riga. I don’t know what the outcome will be,” said Xiao Moqi.

"I can hardly understand Schell's choice If it weren't for me, Hipper would be the commander of the High Seas Fleet now! And he would betray me!" The Kaiser said with excitement.

"Your Majesty, General Scheer has done a good job. In fact, without the efforts of General Scheer, I am afraid that the navy has now fallen to the parliament. You should know that the class composition of the navy makes them naturally close to the parliament. General Scheer was able to guarantee the neutrality of the navy, which was the result of the help of Crown Prince Ruprecht! On the second day of the incident, General Scheer suppressed a group of social democratic activists! And ensured that seaborne supplies could be delivered To the Rhine-Ruhr area. From these perspectives, General Scheer has nothing but credit and nothing wrong. Your Majesty, you can never blame General Scheer." Xiao Maoqi said very seriously.

Admiral Scheer is really involuntary. The particularity of the navy determines that once a special incident breaks out, it must not be easily suppressed by force. After all, the navy has a considerable number of technical arms, and once it is lost, it cannot be easily replaced. So Admiral Scheer had to play and coax. As a result, Admiral Scheer could only be forced to be neutral. If only from Scheer's own attitude, even if he did not like the Kaiser, he still disgusted the parliamentary faction in the war! Therefore, Scheer is a little inclined to the Kaiser.

And for this, Xiao Maoqi still quite understands. At this time, the Kaiser really couldn't offend people anymore, so Little Mochi asked the Kaiser to be cautious with rare seriousness!

"Then wait until the news comes later today." Grand Duke Baden said at last.
