"Welcome, Ruprecht!" When the prince once again stepped into the German base camp in Brussels, the Kaiser himself stepped forward and gave the latter a kind hug!

"Although we were not able to parade again on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, I believe that these days will not be long, so let's put aside the pressure of war for a moment and enjoy tonight!" With that, the Kaiser pulled the prince into the middle of the banquet hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"To be honest, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with this environment. All kinds of socializing and vanity and grievances. After a long day's work, the king was finally able to sit aside and rest, and it so happened that in the rest area of the senior officer, he saw little Moltke.

"Your Highness, your life is truly the same as that of a Puritans." Moltke said half-complimentingly, half-seriously. "After seeing the extravagance of the Prussian aristocracy, you showed me the attitude and principles of a true German aristocracy. I always thought that you would succumb to the pressure of the Kaiser and the General Staff and let us run headlong in Paris. ”

"But fortunately, instead of mentioning it on the iron plate, we took a bite of the French." Ruprecht stretched his arm and said comfortably. "By the way, I will resign to the Kaiser in 2 days, and my troops will gradually withdraw from the Western Front in 1 week. I have already told the Kaiser about this, and he has agreed, so I will tell you about it. ”

"Well, it's a little quick." Little Moltke was stunned for a moment, and then said with some concern. He knew what the prince meant by his words, and the so-called evacuation included, but not only armored forces and aviation forces, but also a large number of transport units, artillery and technical support units. At this time, the withdrawal of the Bavarian Army still had a relatively large impact on the Western Front, not to mention anything else, the Air Force was equal to at least thirty percent!

"The Eastern Front can't wait, the Austro-Hungarian corps has completely retreated to the border, and the Russian offensive has not yet reached its peak, and this time Fritz will shed no less blood. The loss of hundreds of thousands of troops is difficult to make up for in the short term, and we may have to bear most of the pressure. Although the prince drank some wine, he was still very clear in his heart at the moment.

"Since Your Majesty has agreed, then I have no opinion." Little Moltke said helplessly, the Kaiser agreed, and he couldn't help it if he had an opinion. And judging by the current situation, Germany is indeed at its best, and the French have suffered 2 heavy losses. Now that they are fully on the defensive, both sides have begun to repair their defensive lines at the same time, and within three months, it is estimated that there will be no large-scale battles.

"Is there anything else you can help with? I have already said hello to Mackensen, he will fully cooperate with your actions, if it is not for His Majesty Fritz has not yet spoken, then you are the future commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Central Powers. Moltke said.

"There's something in the words here." The prince smiled and did not speak.

"So when you go back, where are you going to start first? Was it from East Prussia, or from the middle line controlled by the Bavarian corps? Or help the Austro-Hungarian Army hold the southern front? When Moltke saw that the prince did not answer, he made the question more direct.

"My plan was to attack from the northern and central fronts first. The Russians have advanced to the Carpathian Mountains, and our attack surface is relatively small, which is not suitable for the deployment of troops. However, I will detach some troops to help the Austro-Hungarian Empire defend itself. Prince Leopold is ready,"

"You're still so sane." Moltke Jr. was relieved to hear the prince's future arrangements for the Eastern Front. From a purely military point of view, it was most realistic to cooperate with Mackensen, who was a master of sports warfare, and the fighting qualities of the Eighth Army could also be guaranteed. Moreover, the front was relatively short, and the Germans could draw a considerable part of their mobile forces to launch a counterattack. It is undoubtedly the safest thing to do.

But from an emotional or political point of view, helping Austria-Hungary is undoubtedly a good plus in these two areas, after all, Austria-Hungary is an ally of Germany and is in a difficult situation, and Fritz is also the prince's father-in-law. On that day, from a military point of view, this was undoubtedly bad, the Austro-Hungarian and Russian defense lines were too long, this time, the Austro-Hungarian corps had retreated from all directions, after the Russians launched a general attack, the entire defense line was bound to be full of loopholes, and it was obviously taboo to use valuable mobile forces to defend the defense line, and to scatter forces.

And the prince's approach was obviously the safest, Prince Leopold led part of the troops to defend key nodes, stabilize part of the front, and then the prince led the main force and Mackensen to launch a new offensive. So Moltke's answer was actually a very appreciative response to the other party. But soon, the prince's next sentence made little Moltke very uncomfortable.

"If nothing else, Bavaria's military production needs to meet the needs of the Eastern Front in the next two months. All I can say is sorry. The prince said.

"Can I take back what I said?" Moltke said with some embarrassment.

"Speaking with my conscience, I have suffered the greatest losses in this battle among the various armored units! My battle losses must be replenished, and the two sides have just ended the fight on the Western Front, and there will be no more major battles in a short time, so the military industry will naturally lean towards the Eastern Front first. The prince said with some displeasure. In peacetime, it is unsympathetic to compete for budgets within the army, and in wartime it is even more necessary to do everything in the struggle for supplies. At such a time, the prince naturally could not be soft-hearted, and the General Staff had no reason to veto, either from the point of view of reason or from the point of view of demand.

"And we are not only replenishing the losses of the Bavarian Legion, we also have to replenish the lost materials and equipment of the Austro-Hungarian Legion, in fact, you can completely adjust and improve the military-industrial enterprises in Prussia. After all, Bavaria is just a state. The prince said earnestly.

"Do you have any advice or advice on the Western Front?" Moltke the Younger was clearly reluctant to entangle with the prince over supplies and supplies, as it would lead to nothing. The prince will not give in, and if the lawsuit is brought to the Kaiser, the Kaiser will not be able to kill the donkey so quickly even if he wants to. So little Moltke decided to ask for something nutritious.

"On the Western Front, in fact, according to what I mean, until we solve the Russian problem, the front on the Western Front can be maintained by the current standard. With the current level of troops and equipment on the Western Front, we should focus on killing and injuring British and French personnel and depleting their strength. The prince thought for a moment and said.
