"We're just on secondment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter this battle, the Bavarian Army could return to the Eastern Front with all its strength. Moltke thought for a moment and said.

"After all, we have just finished a large-scale battle, killed one army group of the Russians, and inflicted heavy losses on another, so I have to repair it for a while. If the other party refuses, there is nothing we can do. Crown Prince William said.

"The key is the attitude of Austria-Hungary, if the Austrian Emperor suggests that the Bavarian Army go east, and the latter agrees, we have nothing to do." Kruger added. Although the Prussian General Staff had the right to command military in wartime, it was necessary to use this power wisely, and after a battle, it was no problem for the Bavarian Army to take a break.

You can transfer some of them, but if you want to transfer most of the elite, you can't. If it really reaches this level, the so-called centripetal force and cohesion will not be mentioned. A unit will be used to the death, and it will be passive and sabotage, that is certain. Moreover, this is not conducive to the restoration of the combat effectiveness of the troops. This way of quenching thirst is something that the German General Staff will never use. So, in theory, it is possible to forcibly transfer, but in practice it will not happen.

"The relationship between Rupresit and the Austrian Emperor has recently become a bit stiff over supplies, and Prince Leopold has gone to Vienna himself. It's hard to say later, but in the near future, with Rupresit's personality will no longer help Austria-Hungary. ”

"As for the restoration of the combat effectiveness of the troops? We can replenish them with troops, and we can also give them a moderate tilt in the distribution of supplies. It is also possible to put him in charge of the Eastern Front if necessary. I don't think Mackensen has any opinions, and their relationship is still very good. The Kaiser said.

If you take it in advance, you must give it first. The Kaiser wanted to transfer the elite of the Bavarian Army to the Western Front at this time, so it was impossible not to give compensation, so what compensation could be given? Then in wartime there are only soldiers, equipment and command.

The population of the Kingdom of Bavaria is indeed quite large, with a population of 13 million, but because it is already a very important industrial country, and because most of it is military and heavy industry, a large amount of manpower is used for military production, and the proportion of people of appropriate age who can be called up is relatively low. Therefore, the Kaiser's promise to replenish troops from elsewhere was very tempting for the prince.

What about equipment? Not to mention, the tilting of resources is naturally for equipment production, and the Prussian Legion's patience with the products of companies such as Krupp and Rheinmetall has reached the limit, and a large number of equipment from the Kingdom of Bavaria has entered the German Army. So this is beneficial both for the prince and for Germany.

As for the command? Rupresit also needs it, with this thing, he and the Emperor are on an equal footing, and if you negotiate in the future, the prince's waist board will be harder, and if you give the prince a group army at the right time, maybe he will fight better.......

"Little Moltke, you are responsible for negotiating this matter, but the offensive on the front line still cannot be stopped, and the follow-up troops are coming up, we can't give the opponent time to breathe, we must maintain the pressure."

"By the way, and send the intelligence on the Western Front, we need to let him fully understand the situation he is facing." The Kaiser thought for a moment and said.

At the same time, in the conference room of the Hoffmann Palace in Vienna, the Emperor Fritz and Prince Leopold sat opposite each other, next to Princess Mary and Archduchess Karl.

"Brother, I promise that something like this will never happen again. Moreover, this transfer was entirely due to military necessity, and we deployed four army groups on the southern front, and the daily consumption was very huge. Emperor Fritz said to the prince. In terms of seniority, Prince Leopold is the cousin of Princess Sissi, and it is not too much for Fritz to call him a brother, and this is a private occasion, so this title can bring the two closer together.

"Fritz, I'll just treat you as if you don't understand military affairs, I repeat, we are fighting on the outside line, the main means of transportation from the end of the railway line to the battlefield is the automobile, we need to support the operation of 2 army groups and a large number of mechanized corps, you are undoubtedly taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and what is worse is that you agree to our battle plan in advance, and only after guaranteeing it, we will launch the campaign. Therefore, someone must be held accountable for the unsatisfactory outcome of the campaign. ”

"Secondly, you are fighting on the inside line, although the scale is larger, but the supply line is shorter, and most of them rely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation, if you count the fuel you intercept, the fuel consumption per unit weight and unit journey you use vehicles to transport is 1.5 times that of me! Do you believe this? Is this what you call a hard need? "Prince Leopold was already very dissatisfied.

He realized that Fritz was just shirking! And in which Archduke Karl definitely played an inglorious role, if Fritz was soft. If you deal with a few more people, the matter will be settled in the eyes of the prince. But alas, now Fritz is not even willing to make this statement! It's so emotionally hurtful!

Does Fritz understand the military? Maybe he understands, but he must not be able to compare with Prince Leopold, or even with the princes in history, otherwise he can become the commander-in-chief of the Central Powers on the Eastern Front? Can he be like Hindenburg, Ludendorff and others to receive the medal that represents the highest glory of the Second German Reich?

And it is undeniable that Fritz is indeed a little cautious, or from a political point of view, he also wants to balance the two factions in the country. After Ferdinand's death, the position of Prince was vacant, which was to take care of Princess Mary and Rupresette behind him. But this time, acquiescing to the front's interception of supplies from the Bavarian Legion was also to balance the political impact and satisfy Karl and the other bosses. This is completely correct from a political point of view, and no one side should be allowed to make it bigger.

But militarily it's different! Soldiers are meant to win battles. If the battle should have been won because of the later reasons, or if the ending was not so perfect, then from the point of view of Prince Leopold, it must not be easily concluded. And it is precisely because politicians and military strategists have different perspectives on the problem that this matter is very stiff!

Of course, there was another reason that Fritz did not want to admit, that is, he believed that the Russian army was gone, and the rest could be left to the Austro-Hungarian army, and the Bavarian army was no longer so important at this time. And this Prince Leopold can also think of this, but in the eyes of real military experts, this emperor is too ignorant of military affairs, Too young, too simple Tucson ah! The Russian army has always been known for its resilience and persistence, and look at how badly the Battle of Borodino was fought on both sides, and what was the result? Didn't the Russians still push Napoleon back?
