In Sanssouci Palace, a tea party at the highest level of the Allies is being held, with Kaiser Wilhelm II on the throne and Emperor Fritz on the throne. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Kaiser is the Crown Prince of Germany, and the Austrian Emperor is the Archduke Ferdinand. Well, at this level, the Bavarian king can participate, and Ruprecht is a bit empty when he plays.

"This is the first time Ruprecht has led the army, right? He's so bold. The Kaiser put down the teacup in his hand, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

Will the Kaiser be satisfied? Isn't it just a drill? What airfield to occupy my hunting grounds! The place is still so big! Is it true that Lao Tzu has never seen an airplane? Originally, the Kaiser did not intend to agree, at least to be embarrassed. But who knows, when Moltke's telegram came up, Emperor Fritz was next to him, and if people wanted to see it, he couldn't help but give it, and after giving it, he had to agree.

In the final analysis, King Fritz himself was half Bavarian in blood, and Ruprecht was still his son-in-law, but also an important partner. If this is denied on the spot, it will be embarrassing for the two to meet! Therefore, the Kaiser could only pretend to be happy and nodded in agreement on the spot.

"Actually, except for those old guys, most of the new generation has not participated in actual combat, but fortunately, Baron Schmidt and Calyput are also experienced, and it is enough to deal with one exercise." Emperor Fritz said.

"To be honest, I think Ruprecht is a little too arrogant, they want to use more than 20,000 people against more than 30,000 of us, and one reinforced division against our two divisions." The Kaiser said as he picked up the document in his hand. "I think he should take a hard wrestle and learn some lessons." The Kaiser has already taken a stand.

"The purpose of the exercise is to find out each other's problems. There is no point in determining in advance whether you will win or lose, the exercises have not yet begun, and we say that there is no need for any of this. Emperor Austria said that the Emperor was in the way of Emperor Austria's face, and Emperor Austria was also in the way of Emperor Germany's face, so he didn't want to express his position.

"None of us can say anything if Prince Ruprecht is only to integrate the Bavarian Legion, but I don't think it makes sense if his methods prove unsuccessful and give him so many resources at his disposal." The Emperor didn't say anything, but Archduke Ferdinand jumped out at this time. His statement that Ruprecht had so many resources at his disposal was inappropriate, naturally referring to the fact that the Kaiser had entrusted the matter of military assistance to Austria to the prince. As the prince of a country, as the second leader of the army. He naturally wants greater power, and it has nothing to do with likes and dislikes. It's because of his position.

"If it turns out that Prince Ruprecht is right, then Austria-Hungary will also fully support it." After saying that, Emperor Fritz glanced at Archduke Ferdinand with dissatisfaction. Even if there is a contradiction between Austria-Hungary and Bavaria, it can't be said in front of the Kaiser, is this a contradiction within the family? The future heir to the Kingdom of Bavaria and the heir to Austria-Hungary are not on good terms now, which is really nerve-wracking.

"Is there any news from Albert?" The Kaiser asked.

"Prince Albert has been in charge of the Bavarian liaison recently, and the Bavarian side has done a good job of preparations, they have gathered the troops that are ready to participate in the exercises, and they are ready to get on the bus and go to East Prussia, father, if you simply talk about the speed of concentration, the Bavarian Army is indeed the best in the world. A large number of vehicles equipped with them used the road and even maneuvered in the field, and quickly arrived at various stations. Some routes, which seem to us almost impassable, are not a problem at all in their eyes. "Crown Prince Wilhelm said fairly.

"So what do you think of the situation in this exercise?" The Kaiser asked.

"We have a good chance of winning, but it's definitely not an easy fight. Prince Ruprecht is still very strong, although he miscalculated the situation, but the Bavarian army is also piled up with real money, if we can really open a gap in the defensive line, it will still be difficult for us to do. At least General Moltke Jr. did not intend to attack at the beginning. The crown prince replied.

"Really? In that case, let's wait and see. The Kaiser decisively gave up the topic and discussed with Fritz how to beat his son-in-law, which is obviously not a good thing. If you say more, it will hurt the harmony.

Two hours later, when Emperor Fritz returned to his accommodation, the first thing he did was to bring Archduke Ferdinand over. To tell the truth, he was not very happy with the Grand Duke either, as can be seen from the fact that after the latter married a wife, Fritz deprived his descendants of the right to inheritance. And today, he is even more dissatisfied with the performance of the Grand Duke. "You are obsessed with power, I can understand it, but first you have to make sure that you can get people who have the ability to do things well."

"Everybody thinks Ruprecht can't win. His hubris devoured his talent, and I am very uncomfortable with such a partner. Archduke Ferdinand argued.

"But Moltke Jr. and others still formulated a battle plan as if they were facing a great enemy, and it can be seen that Moltke Jr. and others attach great importance to this exercise, you can't think that all the people in the Prussian General Staff are mediocre, right?"

"Look at Prince Albert and Ludendorff, I have read all their correspondence, and in these correspondence, neither the prince nor Ludendorff has the slightest contempt for the Bavarian Legion, and between the lines there is an admiration for the fighting qualities of the other side, and it is not easy to get the Prussian top brass to give a well-trained comment. Not to mention the victory or defeat, it is not easy to gather a force from Munich to East Prussia within the specified time, you know, this is not wartime, a lot of artillery and supplies are transported by road, you know very well how fast the Austro-Hungarian regiment is mobile by road, right? "Fritz is, after all, an old man, and he can see the problem in some clues.

"You may not be convinced, it doesn't matter, let time test everything, I have a hunch that this time Ruprecht will not disappoint us, if his tactical system is really successful this time, then it will also be a golden opportunity for Austria-Hungary, and our territory will have the opportunity to expand a little more to the east!" Fritz finally said earnestly.

"Do you think Ruprecht will win?" Crown Prince Ferdinand raised his eyebrows.

"As long as you don't lose badly, you win." Emperor Fritz replied.

If at this time Berlin was discussing the question of how to win the Prussian army, then Ludendorff and Prince Albert, who were far away in Bavaria who participated in the preparations, were not so optimistic, they saw what a strong army that Prince Ruprecht had accumulated for more than ten years was like, and the giant beast of the Bavarian Army finally showed its sharp fangs!
