Chapter 1264: Game Three

Chapter 1264 Game 3

"To be honest, Ruprecht, what you said surprised me. You see yourself as the savior and ignore others. You must do what you want. This will make you lack of friends. "The Kaiser frowned and said.

"Sometimes the truth is so dissatisfied, but this is an objective world that will not change subjectively. Since your majesty doesn't believe it, let time test everything." The prince said indifferently.

"Well, it is a good way to put aside the dispute for now. In addition, I have another question, Ruprecht, why are you so reluctant to go to the Western Front? On the Western Front, you can even command the entire Western Front. , As the commander-in-chief of the front." The Kaiser asked.

At this time, the Kaiser will naturally not say, are you afraid that your Bavarian Army will be overwhelmed on the Western Front? The reason is simple, the prince is just reluctant and unwilling. As the prince said, he is a materialist. Even if you are unwilling in your heart, you will act when you need it. For example, last year the Bavarian Army elite went to the Western Front. The output cannot be said to be small, nor can the cost be said to be small. The results are obvious to all.

"Because it doesn't make sense. At this time, under such a situation, we cannot defeat Britain and France. Even if we can do it, the price paid is too great. The purpose of war is profit. There is an optimal balance between pay and return. In my opinion, this balance point definitely does not include the killing of Britain and France! Believe me, Your Majesty, even if Paris is defeated, France may not surrender. And the United States will directly become our enemy. A country that controls the European continent is really terrifying. Now," the prince replied.

"So, up to now, you still want the Western Front to maintain the status quo? Well, this is your opinion and I will consider it." The Kaiser said noncommittal.

"In other words, the agreement we have reached now includes the following points. First, the Prussian Army will carry the Balkan battle during the Polish Pocket Campaign, and the Bavarian Army will gradually take over the Balkan Theater after the end of the battle. Second, whether the Bavarian Army will be transferred to On the Eastern Front, we will discuss it again, depending on whether the Austro-Hungarian Army will be hit hard by the Russians?" Even the German Emperor smiled slightly. I feel this condition is very interesting.

"The third point is the deepest line of our attack on Russia. You have planned to separate Ukraine and the Caucasus from the Russian mainland. What about the north? Intimidation of St. Petersburg is a very vague concept. Will the soldiers be near the city or just on the periphery? Form a situation?" the Kaiser asked.

The Kaiser’s concern with this issue is for some reason. On the one hand, it is because Russia’s centers have always been St. Petersburg and Moscow. If you want to advance north, the resistance will be very high. In fact, before the revolution in Russia, the advancement of German troops in the north was very limited. Of course, it was different after the revolution... On the other hand, Prussia's revenue point is on the Baltic Sea coast instead of Ukraine, which is the spoils of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After playing for a long time, there will always be gains, right? The irony is that Prussia's income depends on the Bavarian sword.

Of course, the Kaiser also thought that one day, the Bavarian Army would be transferred to the Western Front, and then the Eastern Front would be replaced by the Prussian Army. But this is at best just thinking about it. The reason is very simple. First set aside political issues, mobility issues, and the resulting estrangement between the two kingdoms, and ultimately restore all issues to military issues. The Bavarian Legion can supply a large number of cars needed for rapid interspersing. Although Prussia has a large total volume, it has to bear more transportation pressure, and the number of surplus vehicles is not as good as Bavaria.

Even Mackensen mentioned in his letter to the Kaiser that without the large number of vehicles provided by the Bavarian Army, the siege on the Eastern Front would be impossible. In fact, the Bavarian Army’s equipment system was provided by the Kingdom of Bavaria and Bohemia. As the most important industrial zone in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the industrial production capacity here also cannot be underestimated. As for these two industrial zones, Prussia cannot directly intervene. Therefore, only the Bavarian Army can play a large-scale interleaving and encirclement on the eastern front. No matter how bad the German Emperor is, he can't transfer a large number of vehicles from the Bavarian Army to the Prussian army, right? The army belongs to the kings. This is political correctness in Germany. The Bavarian army can obey the order of the Prussian General Staff, but it absolutely does not include providing its own equipment to Prussia for free...

"How about this line?" The prince thought for a while, then compared the map in his mind after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, picked up the pencil in his hand, and drew a line on the huge map. "If the Austro-Hungarian Army is hit hard again this year, if the General Staff does not transfer the Mackensen Army, I can push the front here!"

"Deal." After looking at the map, the Kaiser nodded. Wilhelm II found that he and Ruprecht had been together for a long time, and he also had a merchant's style. In the absence of outsiders, he also adapted to use this attitude to communicate with the prince.

"Well, then, let's discuss the fourth question. If our front is advanced to where you and I expected, do you have any other ideas?" the Kaiser asked.

"In the third year, I want to be the governor of Ukraine-Transcaucasus ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Prince said with a smile.

"That's a waste. You should take the elite corps to the western front. Then we will kill the British and French forces together. Instead of wasting life in Kiev." The Kaiser shook his head and said.

"After the collapse of Tsarist Russia, there will be chaos, and the whole of Russia will fall into greater turmoil. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to control and consolidate the areas we occupy. I don't think those Junker nobles or capitalist bureaucrats can handle this. Things. Of course, Your Majesty, if you are willing to send someone to take control of the Baltic Sea coast, then just do it. Give me a year, and the German Empire will be invincible." The prince said.

Historically, after the fall of the Normanov dynasty, the White Army, the Red Army of the Soviet Union, and various national and local forces surged. The ethnic contradictions that have accumulated in Russia for hundreds of years erupted at this moment. This was the most unstable time in Russia. Various ideological trends and national independence movements made this vast country once beaten with cavalry and cannons unprecedented weakness. This is the best time to weaken the future superpower that was once comparable to the United States. In the heart of the prince, his role in Russia is better than leading the army to fight on the Western Front.
