Although Mackensen is not very concerned about politics, as a high-level Prussian army, he really sees too much of this kind of thing. The internal nepotism promotion is fairly clean. The Prussian internal military procurement is what makes the general most angry. Yes, for the same MG machine gun, the cost of Prussia is at least 30% higher than that of Bavaria! And this is not bad. Some Bavarian weapons are obviously very useful, but Prussia does not produce them. And even if it is produced, the Prussian factory is not universal in some parts. (Think about the three parts systems of the German Tiger, Tiger King and Leopard in World War II.) The entire logistics system has been artificially messed up. In this case, the German military has not reacted, but no one has ever responded. To solve.
In short, Mackenson also understands very well that it is the high-level government and the capitalists who make money, and the troubles caused by them are the soldiers themselves. When depressed, Mackenson also yelled at Prussia. But today, when Scheer made everything clear, everything that had accumulated in his chest finally broke out!
He began to doubt whether his behavior was really correct and whether he could really solve the problem once and for all. Moral risks and frustration made Mackensen hesitate, he began to waver, and all the changes made by General Mackensen fell into Sher's eyes.
"So, General Mackenson, before you make a decision, why don't you discuss with the generals on the Western Front? Look at their views? And, as one of the main forces on the Eastern Front, when Ruprech When the Bavarian Army of the Crown Prince has been pushed to the Volga region by the front, when the flag of the empire has been planted in the Baku oil field, shouldn’t you take advantage of this spring to expand the empire’s territory?" Admiral Scheer said.
When Mackenson was in confusion, Admiral Scheer gave the latter another way out. Isn't it hard for you to make a decision now? Well, let me think of a way for you to temporarily avoid this difficult thing to choose, but also to continue to play your role. When the family is in conflict, without knowing right or wrong, then attack The enemy outside must be correct! The Russians have not completely surrendered! Beat them!
"If this is the case, His Majesty the Emperor will not have any strength to rely on to defend him. Although I do not want the scene where the gun is aimed at Berlin, but the Emperor must be guarded! You said, Albert Special is not a good thing, even if there is peace talks, they cannot get what they want. This kind of messing up at a critical moment in the empire also sets a very bad precedent! We must be punished!" Mackenson is not stupid. ,use as you learn. Pointed out the necessity of suppressing parliamentarians.
"You don’t have to tell me about this matter. This is a matter for your army officers. You can negotiate with the generals on the western front. I just made a suggestion. The navy will continue to remain neutral if you attack If the Russians need supplies or help, then we can provide maritime transportation and escort.” Admiral Scheer said.
"Then if one day, when the snow melts, we are going to return to Berlin by land transportation to solve those troubles, what will the navy do?" Mackensen asked after a turn.
"We will uphold neutrality. We will be loyal to the empire and the nation! If one day the Kaiser returns to Berlin and orders you to arrest me, then I will accept it. Born in this era, in our position, this It's my responsibility, and it's my glory." Admiral Scheer said firmly.
"There will not be such a day. I understand your ideas very well. Although I cannot agree with them, I will not oppose them. Saint Millega will bless all those who are loyal to the empire. Even if our political views are different." Mackensen said seriously. Although the situation of this meeting was beyond his expectation, in general it can be regarded as solving some of his confusion. Now, he hesitated, even if King Qin's opportunity was still there, he would not act immediately. Maybe it’s a good choice to talk to the old guys on the Western Front? When he walked out of the venue, Mackenson thought.
"Hopefully, our efforts can eliminate a military disaster." When Mackensen left, Admiral Scheer said the last word to the latter. During this period of time, on the surface, the navy was just maintaining law and order and guaranteeing training. By the way, there was a submarine warfare against the British, but in fact, Scheer was far from giving up thinking about the future for a moment. The emperor is still a parliamentary faction. It would not be a good thing for him and the navy to win a victory on either side, because historical experience tells us that in the face of the desperate struggle between the two major forces, the neutral faction generally will not have a good result!
Whether it is the Kaiser or the parliamentary faction, they all have a reason to attack the navy after a complete victory The Kaiser can use the navy to look on the sidelines and issue orders for purge on the grounds of refusing to order. As for Albert and others ? Don't forget, when the civil strife broke out, the navy first suppressed the armed men of the parliament!
Although Crown Prince Ruprecht promised to help himself as much as possible, he had to be more prepared for everything. Therefore, in the end, Admiral Scheer came up with such a method after discussing with the top navy-so that both parties could not grasp the completeness. The authority! As long as there is still a battle, with the size of the navy and the assurance of the crown prince, the navy can ensure that it will not be liquidated!
In order to achieve this goal, and to calm the domestic situation earlier, it is logical to propose that the two parties contact and negotiate. In fact, the Kaiser and the parliament have already contacted through intermediaries, but the two sides started. Because the gap is too big, there is no agreement.
However, as soon as Mackensen walked on his front foot, an encrypted telegram quickly spread over the radio on his back foot. Half an hour later, Crown Prince Ruprecht, who was about to finish his day's work, received a telegram from his attendant. The telegram is very short: "I have made a negotiation proposal to Mackenson, and the latter agrees." The short telegram contains a lot of vague meaning, which makes a soldier feel very upset. After all, the vague representative The accident represented a complicated and confusing future, but for Ruprecht, this telegram was enough, because His Royal Highness didn’t care whether Mackensen accepted this statement now. What he cared about was that the negotiations had already entered various In the sight of Fang forces!
