"Truth be told, Ruprecht, your words surprised me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info You see yourself as a savior and ignore others. If you want to do it, you have to do it. It's going to leave you starved of friends. The Kaiser said with a frown.

"Sometimes telling the truth is like that, but it's an objective world that doesn't change because it's subjective. Since Your Majesty does not believe it, let time test everything. The prince said indifferently.

"Well, it's a good idea to put the controversy aside for now. Also, I have one more question, Rupprecht, why are you so reluctant to go to the Western Front? On the Western Front, you can even command the entire campaign on the Western Front as the commander-in-chief of the front. The Kaiser asked.

At this time, the Kaiser naturally did not say, are you afraid of dragging your Bavarian army on the Western Front? The reason is simple, the prince is just resistant and unwilling. As the prince said, he was a materialist. Even if you don't want to, you will act when you need to, for example, last year the elite of the Bavarian Army went to the Western Front. The effort cannot be said to be small, and the cost cannot be said to be small. And the results are obvious to all.

"Because it doesn't make sense. At this time period, in such a situation, it is impossible for us to defeat Britain and France, and even if we can do it, the price paid is too great, the purpose of the war is interests, and there is an optimal balance between pay and return, and in my opinion, this balance point definitely does not include killing Britain and France! Believe me, Your Majesty, even if Paris is taken, France may not surrender. And the United States will directly become our enemy, a country that controls the European continent is too terrifying. The prince replied.

"So, to this day, you still want the status quo on the Western Front? Well, here's your opinion, I'll take it into account. The Kaiser said noncommittally.

"That is, the agreement we have now reached includes the following: first, the Prussian Corps will carry the Balkan war during the Polish Pocket Campaign, and the Bavarian Corps will gradually take over the Balkan theater after the campaign. Second, whether the Bavarian Corps will be transferred to the Eastern Front, we will discuss, depends on whether the Austro-Hungarian Corps will be heavily damaged by the Russians? Saying this, even the Kaiser smiled slightly. I think this condition is very interesting.

"The third point is the deepest line of our attack on Russia, you already plan to split Ukraine and the Caucasus from Russia proper, but what about in the north? Coercion of St. Petersburg, this is a very vague concept, is it a siege of troops, or is it just a situation on the periphery? The Kaiser asked.

The Kaiser was concerned about this issue for a reason, partly because the centers of Russia had historically been St. Petersburg and Moscow. If you want to push north, the resistance will be very high. In fact, before the revolution in Russia, the advance of the German army in the north was very limited. Of course, it will be different after the revolution....... On the other hand, Prussia's point of gain was on the Baltic coast and not in Ukraine, where Austria-Hungary was the trophy. After playing for a long time, there must always be a profit, right? Ironically, Prussia's gains were actually obtained by the Bavarian sword.

Of course, the Kaiser also thought about one day, transferring the Bavarian Army to the Western Front, and then the Eastern Front to the Prussian Army. But that's just thinking about it at best. The reason for this is simple: leaving aside the political problems, the problems of mobility, and the resulting estrangement between the two kingdoms, and finally reducing all problems to military problems, the Bavarian Army can supply the large number of cars needed for rapid penetration. Although Prussia has a large number of vehicles, it needs to bear more transportation pressure, and the number of surplus vehicles is not as good as that of Bavaria.

Even Mackensen mentioned in his letter to the Kaiser that without the large number of cars provided by the Bavarian Corps, the encirclement of the Eastern Front would have been impossible. In fact, the equipment system of the Bavarian Corps was supplied by both the Kingdom of Bavaria and Bohemia. As the most important industrial region in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, its industrial capacity is also not to be underestimated. And for these two industrial zones, Prussia could not directly intervene. Therefore, only the Bavarian Corps on the Eastern Front could fight a large-scale penetration and encirclement. The Kaiser didn't have any more products, and he couldn't transfer a large number of vehicles from the Bavarian Army to the Prussian troops, right? The army belonged to the kings, which was political correctness in Germany. The Bavarian army could obey the orders of the Prussian General Staff, but it absolutely did not include the free supply of its own equipment to the Prussian .......

"How's this line?" The prince thought for a moment, then compared the map in his mind after the collapse of the Soviet Union, picked up the pencil in his hand, and drew a line on the huge map. "If the Austro-Hungarian corps suffers another heavy defeat this year, then, without the General Staff transferring the Mackensen corps, I can push the front here!"

"Deal." After looking at the map, the Kaiser nodded, and Wilhelm II found that he had been with Ruprecht for a long time, and he also had a kind of businessman's style. And in the absence of outsiders, he also adapted to communicate with the prince with this attitude.

"Well, then, let's move on to the fourth question, if our front advances to where you and I intended, do you have any other ideas?" The Kaiser asked.

"In the third year, I want to be the Viceroy of Ukraine-Transcaucasia for a year." The prince said with a smile.

"That's a waste. You should go to the Western Front with an elite corps. Then together we will take out the Anglo-French forces. And not to waste life in Kyiv. The Kaiser shook his head and said.

"The collapse of Tsarist Russia will be followed by chaos, and the whole of Russia will be plunged into even greater turmoil, and this is an opportunity, an opportunity to control and consolidate the areas we occupy. I don't think the Junker aristocracy or the capitalist bureaucracy can handle these things. Of course, Your Majesty, if you are willing to send someone to take over control of the Baltic coast, then whatever you want. Give me a year, and the German Reich will be invincible. The prince said.

Historically, after the fall of the Normanov dynasty, the White Army, the Soviet Red Army, various ethnic and local forces surged. The national contradictions that Russia had accumulated for hundreds of years erupted at this moment, and this was the most unstable time for Russia, when various currents of thought and national independence movements made this vast country that had once fought with cavalry and artillery unprecedentedly weak. This is the best time to weaken the future superpower that once rivaled the United States, and in the prince's mind, it is better to have a role in Russia than to lead the legions on the Western Front.
