"I am opposed to this kind of voting, especially in the voting process, there are some people who do not know the Eastern Front, who are completely blind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info" Mackensen, who has not spoken, first expressed his support for the prince.

"I personally don't know much about the situation on the Eastern Front, so I decided to abstain." Duke Albrecht, who was also seated on the left-hand side, representing the Kingdom of Württemberg and commanding an army group, then said that he did not stand clearly on the side of the prince, but that this abstention itself amounted to reducing the influence of the personnel of the German General Staff on the Western Front.

"It is wrong for some people to want to force the plan through the name of the General Staff without consultation, and it is even more wrong to force the plan forward when the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front has already decided that it is inappropriate." The Prince of Saxony made a similar statement.

"In particular, the person who is now pushing for this statement is still the commander of an army group on the Western Front, who is neither a core member of the General Staff nor has been on the Eastern Front, and I am curious now to know if this is an unintentional move by some people, or is there another arrangement?" The prince's eyes were full of banter when he looked at Hindenburg, after all, in this plane, Hindenburg's status was far less than in history, and there was no victory in Tannenberg. Without the subsequent achievements on the Eastern Front, Hindenburg is still only a group army commander, and he is at most a non-voting member at such a meeting, and it is enough for you to talk to give face, and you still want to push the General Staff to force a vote? What do you think?

"Hindenburg should have the support or hint of some people, it could be Falkingham, it could be Kruger, it could even be Moltke Jr., they want to make the Bavarian legion take on additional obligations, and even want to force it by forced vote, but now there is no certainty of victory, so bring in someone to test it." The prince looked around at all the people on the other side, and thought silently in his heart.

"First send the Bavarian Corps deployed in Romania to Bulgaria for the time being, and then launch a limited offensive to obtain a better strategic situation, after the Polish campaign begins, you go north, how about we fill this hole with troops on the Western Front?" Moltke thought for a moment and said in a softer tone.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" The prince didn't say it, but that's what he meant in his eyes...... Now we're going to go up, and then you'll take over? Hold the grass and lie to the fool?!

It is estimated that 80% of this matter will change. What if there are not enough reinforcements, or if the reinforcements are temporarily moved elsewhere? For example, you suddenly plan to make trouble on the Western Front, and then the Bavarian corps in the Balkans will not be pitted? This is not a matter of one division and two divisions, Greece is also a country, and Serbia is also a small regional powerhouse. Mackensen also took 9 divisions to get Serbia that year, and the time used was still ...... months. Even if the Bavarian Army is stronger, it must be transferred to 6 whole divisions, and the troops of more than 100,000 people will .......

"Adjourn for now." The Kaiser interrupted both sides of the dispute and said very dryly. The Prussian generals on the Eastern Front did not say a word, they obviously supported the prince's opinion, and contradicted the officers of the Western Front of the General Staff. Among the generals of the Western Front, the Grand Duke of Württemberg, Albrecht, and the Prince of Saxony were equally ambiguous, because they could sense that the Prussian faction in the General Staff was preparing to gain military dominance.

And at this time, if Bavaria can't bear it, then Saxony and Württemberg can't bear it, so at least they won't support the General Staff to force a vote, and they don't even need to stand on the side of the prince, as long as they abstain, then the remaining Prussian officers on the Western Front will definitely not be able to overwhelm the Bavarian Army on the Eastern Front and ......the Prussian officers on the Eastern Front. What a situation of grass grip and egg pain!

However, in the Kaiser's eyes, this situation seems to be good! Because it's a reflection of political correctness. It is true that the presence of the armies of the three kingdoms was unpleasant to Prussia, but if the outer kingdoms were weak, and the Junker nobility within Prussia were strong, then the Kaiser would also be uncomfortable. Only when there is some minor friction when the two sides maintain a balance of power and can do their own thing, and the Kaiser is needed as an arbiter, the Kaiser's rights and prestige are the most stable!

"I don't know why, His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff is reluctant to use the power of the General Staff to force the Bavarian side to accept our plans, and His Majesty seems to be very indulgent to those southern guys." After the meeting, Hindenburg went to the house of General Herringen, the former Prussian Minister of War, and said very angrily.

"What do you think of the Bavarian prince?" General Heilingen did not answer Hindenburg's words, but directly asked rhetorically.

"A very capable, but at the same time very ambitious, I can't see what he thinks, but he is definitely different from his father and grandfather, he is not a man who rests with the status quo. He always wanted to break through, not only within the German system, but also on the part of Austria-Hungary. King Fritz never decided on an heir, and I think there's something wrong with that. Hindenburg said.

"You are discussing this more from the point of view of the Chief of the Prussian General Staff than from the point of view of the commander of an army group." General Heilingen said with a serious face. "Don't let anyone else know your point of view, otherwise, no one will help you if you have the right opportunity."

"Is His Majesty the Emperor indifferent to the semi-independent state of the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Hindenburg said it was incomprehensible.

"His Majesty the Emperor does not fully trust the General Staff, and if you talk about it further, he does not have absolute trust in the Junker aristocracy, and compared to the Junker nobility's control of the army, His Majesty the Emperor feels that his power is not stable. He wanted to play a balance, and it just so happened that Bavaria had another amazing heir. They all have ambitions to change the world and change empires. So they hit it off, and because they are very rational with each other, they formed a tacit understanding. ”

General Heilingen, who once served as Prussian Minister of War, was naturally aware of some of the pettiness and filth at the top, and although he could not publicly explain it, it was an indisputable fact that the Junker aristocracy controlled the grassroots power and army of the Kingdom of Prussia. This made the Kaiser feel very dissatisfied, even uneasy, so in the past, the Kaiser tolerated the expansion of the Bavarian Army to force the Prussian General Staff to make concessions in the army establishment, and used the Bavarian military industry to stimulate the progress of military factories such as Krupp and Rheinmetall.
