Chapter 1906： Before going to the west line

After the four kingdoms and the parliamentary parties reached agreement on important issues, the turmoil within the empire finally began to come to an end. On the last day of the quasi-federal conference, the Grand Duke of Baden represented the Kaiser and Albert on behalf of the parliament To resolve the current problems through peace talks, while appointing Crown Prince Ruprecht as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Western Front Army, the Bavarian Army will enter the Western Front in large numbers.

On the second day, the Kaiser announced that he would go to Munich to negotiate peace with the current parliament in Munich, and King Ludwig III of Bavaria would be the middle party. Such an arrangement completely excluded the influence of the military, but at this time, Crook and others had no time to complain, because Crown Prince Ruprecht and his army were about to embark on a journey north. Before that, the prince had a long talk with his father and finally determined the focus of some problems.

"Father, as long as we can be sure that Prussia is divided into two roughly equal parts, we don't have to accept the benefits of either side, because we have gained enough benefits, and the evenly matched kingdom of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Federation of Prussia is our greatest I have already talked with Prince Leopold, he will help you deal with this matter.” Ruprecht said.

"However, the current situation is that the area controlled by the German emperor has the upper hand. It is difficult for us to divide Prussia into two equal parts," the old king said.

"It is true that there are not many areas under parliamentary control, but there are not many areas that the Kaiser can completely control now! Many of them are under the control of the officer regiment and navy. The Kaiser's confidence is not as sufficient as they claim. . I have a general plan now, you can proceed according to this plan." The prince said.

"Currently, the parliamentarians control the entire Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, half of Hanover, and half of Hesse-Nassau. What about the areas controlled by the Kaiser? Including East Prussia, West Prussia, and the Pomorie region (the capital Szczecin), the Rhineland (the capital is the clone), West (the capital is Essen) and the Hohenzollern regions, the regions of Schleswig and Ollstein are under naval control, except for this There are two other regions, currently in our hands, one is Posen Province and the other is Silesia."

"Silesia, I think it can be handed over to the parliamentary faction. As for the excuses, I have already thought about it, because when the Poles launched the mutiny, the Kaiser did not express his position, which led to local people’s dissatisfaction with the Kaiser. Once it is operational, they will raise this question, and then you can just follow the boat along the way. It is entirely possible to let this area into the hands of the parliamentary faction through a popular referendum or other means."

"Parts of Posen Province can also be given to the parliament. This is obtained through exchange. The Berlin area will be separated out as the capital of the empire. As compensation for the parliament, some areas of Posen can be handed over. To parliament."

"As for the two provinces of Schleswig and Orstein, I think we can follow the example of Olsace and Lorraine and directly become the centrally-administered region. In this case, the strength of the two sides is roughly expected. The Kaiser owns 6 complete provinces and the Kiel Industrial Zone, as well as the western part of Hanover, half of the Hesse-Nassau province, and parts of the Posen province."

"The parliamentary faction owns most of Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, most of Hanover and Hesse-Nassau, Silesian Industrial Zone, Textile District, and parts of Posen Province, while Schleswig and Russia If the Stein area is directly under the central government, I feel that these two provinces will be controlled by the parliament, because the aristocracy here is relatively fragile and is now under the control of the navy. Many people in the navy are inclined to the parliament. Yes," the prince said.

"In this case, the Kaiser will have some advantages, but if Schleswig and Ollstein become directly under the central government, what will happen in the Federal Parliament? I feel that it is better to leave it to the Kaiser and the parliament. , It’s better to give the parliament or one provincial capital to one party, the current federal assembly is messy enough. Don’t add new members.” The old king said.

"Well, we can discuss this with Prince Leopold." The prince said.

In short, it is almost enough to achieve this result. Although the Kaiser has more places in terms of area, Brandenburg, Hanover and Silesia are all rich provinces. The overall economic level is higher than the parliamentarians. Although the Kaiser controls the Ruhr area, don't forget that East Prussia and West Prussia are both agricultural areas. Lowered the average level of the German control area. The locality is almost divided. As for how the Kaiser and the parliament will divide the new territory, it is their business. Ruprecht does not want to interfere too much, as long as it is neutral.

In fact, this is the only important matter that the prince really cares about now. Other things are not important, at least it is not important to win the current war If nothing happens, Ruprecht will stay on the Western Front for about a month and a half to launch a battle. A large-scale offensive, and the decisive battle between the High Seas Fleet and the British Fleet will also see the conclusion in the first half of this year.

After dealing with all kinds of trivial internal affairs and diplomatic matters, once again talking on the phone with his father-in-law and his wife, and confessing many things, Ruprecht received another great gift. Part of the Austro-Hungarian army will also follow Bavaria. The legion went north and entered the western front.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect how much combat power the Austro-Hungarian infantry can have. However, you must at least give some respect to the heavy artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Army! That’s right, this time, in order to support his son-in-law, Emperor Fritz drew out the most elite heavy artillery unit in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and formed a huge organization of heavy artillery army. The smallest artillery in the heavy artillery army is the 150MM heavy howitzer. The largest is the 380MM train cannon. A heavy artillery army has more than 200 artillery pieces. With the successive entry of 3 heavy artillery corps, at least 700 heavy artillery of various calibers will be added to the entire western German line! Among them, the number of train guns and siege guns over 12 inches exceeds three digits!

In addition to the heavy artillery force, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also drew 8 flying wing forces from its air force to the western front. Although most of them were fighters and tactical bombers, there were nearly a thousand aircraft in total! With the addition of these aircraft, the German Air Force on the Western Front finally completely overwhelmed the British and French forces! After accepting this big gift, the prince felt that he had a great advantage, and it was enough to pass directly A!
