Chapter 280: We have a traitor!
"This plan needs to be revised, and there are many details that need to be improved. You pointed out some problems in the plan, I am very grateful, but at the same time, I think the loopholes in the plan are not insurmountable, and you are not giving us a problem to change. Are you thinking about it? Use motor vehicles to ensure the mobility of the troops after they are separated from the railway." Schlieffen obviously doesn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
Now he is not in the Prussian General Staff, and he can use his power and prestige to suppress the opposition of others. After all, he is the biggest in the General Staff. The only person who can change the plan is the Kaiser. But unfortunately, he can meet in person. The Kaiser, there are too few people who can influence the opinion of the Kaiser.
But the sad reminder this time is that the two people on the opposite side can do this, know how to deal with the military, and at the same time have a high position. In the absence of military power in peacetime, the Bavarian Legion does not bird the Prussian General Staff. And because of the relationship between the prince and the Kaiser, there is no difficulty in poking him to the Kaiser.
There are many problems with his plan. Schlieffen is very clear about this, so he admits it. After all, denying it has no effect, but it is impossible for him to give up this plan. After all, he has been preparing for this for several years. , And more importantly, he thinks this is the only possible plan to succeed!
Since you said that I lacked sufficient capacity, then increase it. You said that my judgment of material consumption was wrong, then I should be fine. Before all the dust settles, you can only say that there is a problem with my plan. But my plan cannot be rejected because of this.
"I also think that Earl Schlieffen was biased in formulating this plan. The right wing has too much force. In fact, we simply cannot maintain such a large army to advance more than 500 kilometers. We can appropriately reduce the right wing and strengthen the left wing. Avoid war with the Netherlands."
"In addition, our appetite is a bit too big. According to the plan started by the Earl, the entire Westward Army Corps will attack as large as possible. Even the troops will go to the beach and then move south. In this way, the farthest legion will be The distance of the army will be 600 kilometers. If we modify the plan so that the troops will head south after occupying Brussels, the distance of the farthest legion will be reduced to about 450 kilometers. This will help reduce logistical pressure and plan better. Operability."
"I rub! What's the situation? Loyalty? The internal conflicts of your Prussian General Staff directly tell us that these Bavarians are really okay? Little Maoqi, why are you so NB, in front of outsiders against the plan of the leader?" Little Moqi's words surprised Prince Leopold and the prince.
"And I don't agree with this improvement plan." Schlieffen looked at the little Maoqi next to him, and didn't seem to be surprised by what the other party said, at least frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with the latter.
"Unexpectedly, now Xiao Moqi is already preparing to revise this plan. The purpose of this plan is exactly the same as the revised Schlieffen plan that was later implemented in World War I." Any organization may be monolithic internally, and as Schlieffen's successor. , Xiao Moqi also criticized Schlieffen’s plan, so after Schlieffen stepped down, Xiao Moqi modified the Schlieffen plan when he came to power. In addition to the left wing to lure the enemy into the right wing to raid, many things were changed, including Schlieffen’s obsession to strengthen the right wing. ....
But what the prince could not imagine was that the current little Maoqi dared to oppose Schlieffen in public. It really surprised the prince, but think about it, the current little Moqi is equally high and has a good relationship with the Kaiser. He may have discussed this matter with the Kaiser more than once, and it may even be caused by him. The occurrence of this incident.
The prince really has no plans to overthrow the Schlieffen plan now. The purpose of his exercise is very simple, that is, to tell the Prussians about the importance of cars, and then prepare more cars, even if the Schlieffen plan still fails, then it will be during the Marne River. Less losses, while ensuring smoother supplies on the eastern route. ,
The prince was aware of the problems with Schlieffen’s plan, but at the same time, under the current conditions, Germany also had a fast-fighting curse. Under the constraints of this curse, God could not help it. The Germans could not solve it quickly. Any country in France or Russia....... Therefore, in this case, even if he was asked to make a quick plan, it would be useless....
"Relatively speaking, I think General Xiao Moqi's opinion is closer to reality, reducing targets, saving troops, and then making up for the lack of transportation capabilities. Under the premise that transportation difficulties cannot be completely resolved, it is a good solution." Leo After a moment of meditation, Prince Pod expressed his support for Xiao Maoqi, and this statement made Count Schlieffen's face tightened!
"Isn't this a prelude to tearing up?" The prince said while looking at the suddenly tense meeting place. This is not the same as the script I set out. Besides, it's still too early to tear up. "We are only discussing this plan from a tactical point of view. Regarding the formulation of the strategy, we must consider a long-term plan. Now that everyone has discovered the problem, we can discuss how to solve it."
His Royal Highness quickly set the tone for this memory. This meeting is just to discover and solve problems. As for whether to modify the Schlieffen plan and how to modify it, that is your business. Of course, the Bavarian side may also intervene on the Kaiser route, but let's not talk about it for now. Let’s take a look at my Bavarian Mobile Corps first, and hope to give you some enlightenment.
His Royal Highness's words took into account the face and needs of all parties. It’s very common for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to have problems. Just solve the problem. Don’t go online. Well, now we discuss the problem to be solved. On the huge large-scale map, the prince stroked with a pencil and appeared before everyone along the curve of the road.
"Three days! We spent three days not relying on railways, but relying solely on roads and vehicles to travel 110 kilometers! The whole army was fully loaded with ammunition for battle." This exercise is simply an armed training. Test the ability of the army to mobilize under combat readiness conditions.
The original plan was like this, but suddenly I didn’t know whether it was Schlieffen’s earlier plan or a temporary intention. Suddenly asked for an additional exercise: "The Bavarian Army's field defense in the Far East is very good. I wonder if a field offensive and defensive battle can be arranged so that we can observe it?"
"Hey, aren't you looking for trouble?" The prince said in his heart, but although it is a bit tricky, it is not impossible. After all, except for the regular legions, it is difficult to mobilize in a short period of time. The two guards of the Bavarian royal family are always ready for combat. State, arranging an offensive and defensive warfare exercise is not a problem.
