Chapter 1789: Poles' ambition
The offensive of Britain and France will not last too long, because the winter should be the time for everyone to rest. The two successive attacks of Britain and France will consume the accumulated power seven or eight. Why do they maintain the offensive? Therefore, in the opinion of the Kaiser, time is on their side. As long as the peace on the Western Front is restored, even if Prince William can only take one-third of the group army back, it will be enough to crush the parliament!
At the same time, Albert and others in Berlin are also discussing the current situation. The confrontation is not the result they want. The superficial calm is just for the subsequent explosion to accumulate strength! And now they are also looking for military forces they can rely on as much as possible!
"Well, I think everyone has a general understanding of the current situation. We failed to win the first wave of offensive. We formed a confrontation with the Kaiser, and this confrontation is unstable. Once the line is eased, we will immediately become disadvantaged. According to our military department’s estimation, the offensive between Britain and France will continue for about 10 days at most, so good, we must now come up with a solution within 10 days. To solve the problem, at least get foreign aid to balance the situation." Albert said.
"Let's talk about the situation in the Kiel area first. Mr. Knowles." After that, Albert looked at the head of the Kiel area of the Social Democratic Party.
"Our strength in Kiel can be described as the annihilation of the entire army. I did not expect that the High Seas Fleet had such a large amount of energy. They controlled the entire Port of Kiel. Not only did we not get the troops, equipment and equipment we needed from the Port of Kiel. We lost more than 70% of our personnel in Kiel. Now, the navy that controls the northern German ports has an ambiguous attitude. They turned a deaf ear to our demands, and directly supported the Kaiser in action!" Knowles was quite ashamed. Said.
"That is to say, the navy has no hope for the time being? Our conditions do not make them move?" Landsberg, who was sitting across from Knowles, said in disbelief.
"It has been basically determined that the navy must have the support of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and they have reached some conditions with Crown Prince Ruprecht. This has made our plan to control the navy collapsed, but at the same time, we are also considered With a sigh of relief, at least the crown prince is standing behind us. We don't have to worry about the navy approaching the Kaiser too quickly!" said Scheidemann, who had just been free to regain control of the intelligence department.
"How many troops can we mobilize now?" Albert asked.
"There are still 30,000 troops that can be mobilized, but these troops are about to be deployed to areas close to East Prussia to deter Mackensen. He is loyal to the German Emperor. If he does not have enough troops to block the main artery leading to the Eastern Front , God knows what Mackensen will do. Coupled with the troops used on the southern front to fight against Little Mochi, it will be very difficult for us to concentrate our mobile forces now. But there is an exception. His leader is trying to fight We contacted and reached some agreement!” At that moment, Barthes, the representative of the Social Democratic Centrist, said.
"The other force? Who are they? What are the conditions?" Albert frowned. He didn't remember that Germany still had such an armed force system outside of the army, navy and air force of various kingdoms.
"It's a Polish! Or Piłsudski, the commander of the Polish Second Army. He expressed his willingness to support the parliament and can concentrate at least 50,000 troops to help us fight the Kaiser." Barthes said.
"50,000 troops? Just kidding, according to my understanding, he can have up to 20,000 is not bad!" Scheideman snorted. After the Allies took control of the Polish region, the German military once formed a Polish army to fight against the Russians. Although the Poles had hatred against Russia, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they hated the Russians the most. At that time, there was also talk of making Poland an independent nation. Therefore, some Poles were willing to help the Germans beat the Russians, which is why the so-called Polish Second Army appeared.
Of course, such an army certainly cannot be compared with the regular army of the Allied Powers. According to the intelligence collected by Schedman and the information inside the German Army, although the Poles cannot know their exact level of equipment because of the large number of captured Russian weapons, The total strength of the entire Polish Army is only about 70,000, of which at least 40,000 are on the eastern front. The number of Polish armed personnel in the entire Prussia and Bavaria area does not exceed 30,000. Therefore, Schedman’s figure for 50,000 is I definitely don't believe it!
"Then what are their conditions?" Albert asked. "Let Russian Poland become an independent country? I don't have this ability, even the previous Kaiser could not do it."
"This, their conditions are even more excessive. They want parts of Silesia and Posen Province! Plus Prussia and Bavaria controlled areas. In this case ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ they have at least 100,000 square kilometers. Countries, they require this country to have the same independence as Bavaria." Barthes said.
"Are they crazy?!" Albert said in shock. "This is simply unacceptable! Does Prussia have to divide another piece to reward them for their speculation?!"
"They can ask for prices, and we can also pay back. Mr. Albert must not forget that before this, the Kaiser was planning to establish a Polish state. This matter is rooted in Kaiser's fault. "Hasai, another bigwig from the Social Democratic centrist on the side, said.
"You and I know that it is just a cover to weaken the Kingdom of Bavaria. And even if the Kaiser finally fulfills its promise, it will only be the former Russian Poland controlled by Prussia and Bavaria. The territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not move. It will not be separated from the provinces of Posen and Silesia, which Prussia has ruled for hundreds of years, to give them." Albert said.
"So, if the Kaiser is willing to keep his previous promises at this time, whose side will the Poles stand?" Hasai asked.
"If the Kaiser is willing to establish a Polish state subordinate to Berlin, even if it does not include Bavarian income, even if it is only tens of thousands of square kilometers, then do you think the Poles will be on our side or the Kaiser’s side? , If they accept the order of the Kaiser, then how do we resist these Poles?" Hassy's words hit everyone's hearts like a hammer.
