"I really didn't expect Fritz and Wilhelm II to question Bavaria at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is a provocation to the kingdom! Especially Fritz, who we kindly reminded and helped him, only to get their suspicions. Ludwig III said to his eldest son and younger brother with some annoyance.

"Unexpectedly, and reasonably, we have more resources and power than one state, we account for a quarter of the army in the whole of Germany, and we also have a plan for the construction of an Austro-Hungarian corps, and it is normal for them to have ideas." Prince Leopold said.

"Is it worth it? Ruprecht? What we are doing has been met with suspicion from all sides, and wouldn't it be better if we only did our own thing and didn't care about it? Ludwig III turned his head to look at his eldest son, who was now increasingly unable to understand his son, who in general had no ambitions, but his son did not seem to think so.

"With more power comes greater responsibility, and I think that's good. Father, don't you think that Bavaria is a little too small if the German Empire expands again? We now have one-seventh the size of the empire, but if the empire were doubled, would we be one-fourteenth? The prince said with a smile.

"You're thinking a little too much." Ludwig III said that this was the first time that the prince had made it clear that he wanted Bavaria to get a piece of the expansion.

"We don't have a choice, we have to keep our weight in order to maintain the independence of the status quo in the future, and this big war is an opportunity! We must tell Wilhelm II and the old Fritz that the Bavarian Legion was an indispensable force and that their interests should be respected! The prince said calmly.

"I also agree with Ruprecht that Bavaria should play a more important role in the future, and not just a follower, and we have been preparing for more than ten years, isn't it for today? Let them face up to our power. Prince Leopold said.

"Since you all agree, then I have nothing to say, I will write back to William, but the rest is up to you." Ludwig III said. Then the king of Bavaria was ready to go back and write a strongly worded reply.

"Undercurrents, Ruprecht." When there were only two people left in the house, Prince Leopold also said with some concern, it is reasonable for the Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor to put forward such an opinion, after all, Bavaria has invested a lot, if it were not for seeing what his nephew had done, he would not have supported it, and now, if he takes a slight wrong step, I am afraid it will lead to unpredictable consequences, after all, no one wants to let tens of millions of marks go down the drain like this.

"It's not about winning or losing, it's about how much we can win." The prince had a breezy expression. "This time, I'm going to do it myself!"

"You're too confident, aren't you?" The prince glanced at Ruprecht and said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"The facts will tell." Ruprecht still didn't care.

Things continued to develop, beginning with a personal letter from King Ludwig III of Bavaria to the Kaiser, expressing his dissatisfaction with this abrupt arrangement, expressing his dissatisfaction with Prussia's suspicion of Bavaria, and stating: "The Kingdom of Bavaria has no plans for this year, and if the Prussian General Staff insists on doing so, it will be responsible for all the consequences and costs incurred thereby." ”

And the content of Prince Ruprecht's letter to the Kaiser is simpler: if he wins this time, what benefits can the Kaiser give Bavaria?

"That's up to you." The Kaiser threw aside the prince's reply, and then said to Moltke Jr.: "Bavaria has agreed, you and your delegation can go to Munich at any time to discuss this matter, I repeat, this time I don't want to lose, you must deal with it well!" The thought that he was about to witness a top-notch, unplanned campaign was a belligerent nature in the Kaiser's heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will arrange a foolproof plan to prove the strength of the German Legion. Yongchang of the German Empire. Moltke replied.

"Very good, it's interesting to do this, what's the point of a country's military always directing and acting? What does it do? The Kaiser nodded in satisfaction. You know? I've been watching the same thing for ten years, and now it's just more trucks, heavier artillery, nothing new, whoever wins this time will get a great reward, go don't let me down. ”

"By the way, there is another point, Emperor Fritz is also back, and Archduke Ferdinand also hopes to participate in this exercise, of course, you are still the master, but you must also take care of the face of this archduke." The Kaiser said.

"It's a bit complicated. This is the first large-scale exercise between us and the Bavarian Corps, and the strength and disposition of both sides need to be negotiated, and it is not advisable to over-strengthen. The other side can object. "Moltke now understands a little bit of what the Kaiser meant, testing the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian Legion is one aspect, and there is also a little bit of meaning to let the other party understand the situation. The Kaiser wanted to win.

"Rest assured, this won't be a problem, because Ruprecht also treats us as a whetstone, and he will never be afraid of a challenge! Nor will it shy away from various issues. You know? This time you're meeting a samurai who wants to push his limits, so he won't object to us adding to his limits. The Kaiser said.

"Think of us as whetstones? Isn't this prince a little naïve? When Moltke heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he was a little annoyed. Do you really think that after spending some money and having some new toys, you can be called a strong army? The German Legion was fought! And this time, Moltke automatically ignored the fact that decades had passed since the last war.

"Very well, I look forward to the news of the victory of the Prussian regiments." The Kaiser said.

After leaving the palace, Moltke Jr. immediately rushed back to the General Staff and began to consider the question of how to fight the German troops. After all, those iron bumps do look pretty good. It posed a great threat to the current German firepower configuration. The front of the Hu Feng assault gun is almost immune to more than 9% of the firepower of the German army, how can this thing hit?
