Crook's attitude is a bit close to Scheer. The parliamentarians are certainly not a good thing, but is the Kaiser? After some blind operations, the high-level military officials were also very worried about the Kaiser’s ability. After all, the Kaiser had been fainted for some time recently, coupled with the emperor’s already very bad temper. Therefore, most senior military officials believe that if you go back to the past and work under such an emperor, it is really a very unpleasant feeling. If it is a peaceful and safe environment, it is not a big deal, but the country has undergone tremendous changes. , The emperor’s brain is obviously not enough!
"So, do you agree with this negotiation?" Pinov said.
"The contact between the two parties has begun. It is not a secret at all. It is just that the difference in asking prices between the two parties is too large. His Majesty the Kaiser expressed his willingness to give up the title of Kaiser, but the real power of the King of Prussia must be guaranteed. The parliament is responsible. The Kaiser cannot dissolve the parliament at will, and the executive power, judicial power and legislative power must be separated, and the hierarchical parliament system must be changed to a universal suffrage system." Crook said.
"This requirement is too much. I don't believe that Bavaria and the Southern States accept such conditions." Pinov sneered.
"The parliamentarians stated that their reforms are only within Prussia and will not involve other states, and that the Social Democratic Party will never establish branches in Bavaria and Württemberg." The Grand Duke of Württemberg Alb, who has not spoken yet. Lecht said.
"So, you are inexplicably out of the picture?!" Pinov can't believe his ears! And faintly feeling bad in my heart, the parliamentary faction has released goodwill to other kingdoms. In this case, the probability of other nations helping the Kaiser will only be lower!
"We can't even handle domestic affairs well. There is no time to take care of external affairs." Grand Duke Württemberg sneered. To be honest, the contribution of the Kingdom of Württemberg in this production war was not small, at least In the army under the Grand Duke, more than half of the personnel came from the Kingdom of Württemberg. You must know that the area of this kingdom is only more than 30,000 square kilometers, and the total area is less than one-fifteenth of Germany. However, they have also made up most of the force of the group army, and they have done their job.
Because of the large number of troops on the front line, when the kingdom broke out, there were not enough troops to suppress it. At the critical moment, Bavaria pulled a hand. Therefore, the relationship between the two kingdoms is very good now. For Prussia, the Grand Duke is really a watching attitude! After all, in the eyes of the Grand Duke, without these **** things that William II did, would the situation be as complicated as it is now?
"This matter, we should exchange views with Prince Leopold." Admiral Howson said. "If necessary, this time Princess Mary's canonization ceremony, we need to send a reliable person to test the attitude of Bavaria."
Unlike the Kaiser thought, the Kaiser was overconfident in his own strength, so he wanted to eliminate the influence of Bavaria and take care of everything by himself. However, the officer corps did not. On the one hand, they had opinions on the actions of the Kaiser, and subjectively did not want to participate too much. On the other hand, it was because after the Hellingen Group's accident, the officer regiment was somewhat unconfident. Of course, as for the Kaiser and the officer corps, whose idea is right? This is really unclear, after all, nothing happened. Of course, if it happens, it might be too late! Crook can crush once, but he has no confidence to crush the entire lower German army. Therefore, conservative is Crook's inevitable choice.
What Crook still thinks is that if he takes advantage of the power of the Kingdom of Bavaria, then no matter who comes to power, at least Germany is stable and there will be no problems on the front. After all, the size of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Austrian Empire behind him It's a bit big, for Prussia now, as long as it moves forward, it is a posture of a soldier without a fight! Therefore, Crook and most of the senior army's opinion is to let Bavaria participate, and then solve this problem as soon as possible!
"General Mochi also wants to participate in this meeting. If we invite Prince Leopold to the meeting, then General Mochi should also be able to participate. After all, he was once our chief of staff." A look at Crook and others thought The idea of wanting the Kingdom of Bavaria to intervene in Prussian affairs has begun to be implemented. Admiral Pinoff, who knows that there is absolutely no benefit in carrying it on, finally made the most correct choice after he came to Brussels. At the critical moment, he brought General Xiaomoqi over!
This is really a good move. After all, Xiao Maoqi has been the chief of the general staff for nearly 10 years, and he also has the aura of old Maoqi himself. It is logical for this former military leader to participate in the military meeting. Moreover, the most important thing is that Xiao Moqi himself is a hard-core supporter of the Kaiser. Pinov will not fight alone.
"We are very sympathetic to General Xiao Moqi’s experience, and also agreed that General Xiao Moqi will participate in this meeting. However, after all, he does not understand the movements and ideas of the frontline grassroots officers and soldiers. Therefore, General Hausen, you are responsible for talking to General Xiao Moqi. Let’s talk about the recent frontline military situation.” Crook said calmly His attitude is already very clear. It is fine to participate in the meeting, but the attitude of Xiao Maoqi is not important! Agree to him is to give him face! Moreover, letting General Hausen and Xiao Maoqi contact, instead of letting Admiral Pinov contact, gave the latter a soft nail!
"By the way, there is one more thing to explain. Admiral Plitwitz is here on behalf of several other army commanders, and he will also participate in the meeting." Admiral Howson added.
"Damn it! Let this timid fellow come to such an important meeting!" Admiral Pinov cursed in a low voice. Prittwitz is also more famous in history. At the beginning of the war, this buddy served as the commander of the Eighth Army of East Prussia. Facing the strong military advantage of Russia at the beginning of the war, this buddy was persuaded and then dismissed by the Kaiser. Then Hindenburg brought reinforcements to East Prussia and launched the Battle of Tannenberg.
As for this plane, this buddy is on the Western Front and is also very cautious, but the defensive battle is really good! However, because of his conservative and cautious character, this guy was not friendly to the Kaiser. In his opinion, stabilizing the situation within the group army is the most important thing. He was also the first to publicly promise to his subordinates that the Germans would not fight Germany. Human group commander... Therefore, Admiral Pinov has a very bad impression of him.
"I hope that before meeting with Prince Leopold, we can give General Mochi half an hour. After all, this is our internal matter." General Pinov said.
"I agree." Crook nodded.
