"Yes, it's waiting for us here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The Kaiser glanced at Moltke with some helplessness. This is the tacit understanding of the top. According to the original plan, the Bavarian Army did not have to go to the Western Front to fight, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and after the Western Front was blocked, the Bavarian Army came to the rescue, sent almost all the air force and army mechanized units, opened the gap, and paid a heavy price, which had to be repaid. There is credibility between kings, especially between the number one king and the number two king of a country. It is impossible to just take benefits and not give them. What's more, the prince is really reliable, and the battle objectives in front of him are really attractive.

"After the situation on the Eastern Front is stabilized, the Bavarian Army can transfer part of its forces to support the Western Front again, what do you think?" The prince said. The so-called there are contacts and contacts, and it is not difficult to borrow again. When the battle line is completely leveled, the defensive line is short, the defensive force will be much smaller, and it is possible to transfer part of the troops to the Western Front before accumulating the next wave of offensive forces.

"This is okay, but before calling, I hope that His Highness can submit a report a month in advance, and we need to readjust the deployment." After receiving the Kaiser's signal, Moltke nodded and agreed in principle.

"The movement of the High Seas Fleet is theoretically possible, but it also needs to be deployed in advance, and the General Staff will assess the feasibility of the campaign according to the situation at the time, and we will only agree if the top management thinks that the probability of success is relatively high." The Kaiser said.

"So how long will this battle, which concentrated the main forces of millions of German troops and the High Seas Fleet, last?" Moltke asked again.

"At least 40 days!" The prince thought to himself. The German High Seas Fleet had to stop the Baltic Fleet, sweep away the minefields of batteries and ports along the coast, and then occupy the landing grounds, as well as load and unload the cargo and personnel of at least half of the army. This is obviously not good for preparation. And then the troops had to go deep into the rear of the Russians. Russia is so big, it is difficult to say where it goes, this is a ....... So it's nice to be able to do it in 40 days.

If it were for historical conditions, the prince would definitely not dare to play like this, but now it is different, Germany is much stronger than it was historically, Italy. Romania and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were still on the sidelines, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was stronger than it had ever been, so it was not a big problem to meet all these conditions, so the prince naturally hoped that he could quickly cut through the chaos and defeat Russia first, or let Russia break out into civil strife as soon as possible. If it is really possible to defeat the Russian army of about 5 group armies, then maybe the progress of the end of the war will be greatly advanced.

"When did your campaign start?" Moltke continued.

"It will be in May next year at the latest, and if I can, I hope to launch it in April." The prince decided to set this time after fully considering all aspects of the situation, and the freezing period of the Gulf of Riga is from December to April of the following year, and it is naturally impossible to launch a campaign when it is frozen, otherwise the prince will want to advance.

"Can't it be any later?" Moltke asked.

"No, any later, the Russian army will be much larger." The prince said. Now there were 8 Russian armies on the Eastern Front. After half a year, it is possible to reach 10. Historically, in 1916, Russia had 12 armies on the Eastern Front, and if Russia had been continuously mobilized, the impact of the same heavy defeat on the Russian army would have been reduced.

"Your plan is a bit overbearing." Moltke said with some embarrassment. The time and troops are very demanding, which makes Moltke feel a little unhappy, but unhappy is not happy, in wartime, being able to fight is everything, and Moltke will never be able to say half a word against the prince's previous record. It is true that Moltke Jr. is the chief of the General Staff, and it is not wrong that the General Staff is indeed in power, but he is not alone in the General Staff, and under normal circumstances, Moltke Jr. does not have enough time and energy to manage the Eastern Front.

"But it's realistic, and the probability of success is very high, even if there are some deviations, it's much better than our normal progress." The prince said earnestly.

There are enough reasons for the Kaiser and Moltke Jr. to refuse, but when it comes to this, it is actually enough, and not to mention that the Kaiser has also reserved a way back, when the prince launches a campaign, he needs to be approved by the German high-level, and this matter is also half a year later, so there is no need to be too anxious.

"So on the Army side, is there anything else to say?" Moltke thinks that he has talked enough today, so let's ask politely at the end.

"On the Western Front, it's better to focus on defense, it's been a long time since the last battle ended, the French should have recovered somewhat, and after my corps withdrew from the Western Front, I think we should first stabilize and do a good job of defense."

"As for the other aspect, I will launch a limited offensive in the Balkans at the right time, Serbia is a very nasty country. At the same time, this operation was used to deter Greece and Romania and make them see the situation clearly. The prince didn't see the politeness of little Moltke, or he saw it, and he had to let himself say everything he wanted to say, as a crown prince, he naturally didn't need to look at little Moltke's face on this kind of issue related to the future of the country.

Although the armies of Greece and Romania are very soft, Romania has made up the so-called 4 group armies of 600,000 troops in history, and then it was cleaned up by Mackensen, but after all, it is 600,000 people, so if you can have less trouble, you can have less trouble, as for Greece? Originally, the current king of Greece, Constantine I, was intended to be neutral, but later, with the support of the Entente, Constantine I was ousted from power and succeeded by his son Alexander, which led to the final direction to the Entente.

The Balkan states were not very effective, but they could still hold back the attention of the allies, and the prince needed to maintain a land route to Turkey in order to obtain grain and oil from the Turkish Empire. In order to prevent these two countries from turning to the Entente as much as possible, timely deterrence by force was still needed.

As for why not take action against Italy? Come on, Italy is also a man with the hat of a great power! Although it was soft, it was also defeated by the local natives of Abyssinia. But people are also a bit of a pound, and it is definitely not enough to be scared, and what Italy wants is not something that the Allies can easily give, so all the prince can do is to stand by and watch.
