"Guys, I don't have time to argue on this issue, I need to discuss a result by 3pm today, and then I'll get on the train to Port Kiel at 4pm! Alright, everyone, let's start giving your opinions! My Chief of the General Staff and my Lord of the Navy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info," said Wilhelm II.

"If His Royal Highness Prince Rupre does not have to command the Bavarian Legion, then my colleagues and I in the Admiralty are willing to work under his command, in fact, if I can, I think it would be better for Prince Leopold to command the Bavarian Legion and the Prince to command the Navy." Tirpitz said first.

"It's a terrible idea. The Bavarian royal family would not have consented, and Prince Leopold was not necessarily in a position to command the entire forces subordinate to the Bavarian crown. Moltke said with a glance at Tirpitz.

Was Prince Leopold honorable? Sure, the younger brother of the current King of Bavaria and the uncle of Ruprecht. Old fritters who participated in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War. German Field Marshal, the number two man in the proper Bavarian Army. However, such a number one person can command other legions of the empire, and can assist the prince in commanding the Bavarian legion, but he cannot command the Bavarian legion with full authority!

That's politics! The Bavarian crown can only be inherited by direct line, so only Ruprecht can command the Bavarian legion, and Prince Leopold can command the Eastern Front in history, but when can he command Ruprecht? There's no record of that, right? What's more, the current Bavarian Legion is composed of two parts, and the direct allegiance of the Bohemian Legion is Princess Mary, who works for Ruprecht, and can also be understood as working for the husband of the Grand Duchess, but there is absolutely no reason to obey the orders of Prince Leopold!

"This is really a very bad suggestion, and I would advise everyone in the room to forget about it." The Kaiser said with a gloomy face. Now Wilhelm II could not understand how Tirpitz, who had always had a keen sense of politics, could make such a suspicious suggestion at this time.

If this is poked out, if nothing else, the Bavarian side will definitely think that the Kaiser has instructed it to divide Bavaria. Let the prince command the navy, gradually dilute its influence, and then let the side branches assist the Bavarian military power, this is obviously engaged in two cores! The Bavarian king and prince did not hate the Kaiser to death? The Kaiser didn't dare to do this in peacetime, and now in wartime, it's not his own pit himself!

"Your Majesty, I don't mean anything else, I just think that there is no figure in the German Navy who can compare with His Royal Highness the Prince, and we need such a leader." Tirpitz also suddenly realized the political problem and immediately explained. Do not forget that among you here are people from other kingdoms and principalities besides Prussia.

"This question stops, it doesn't matter what you think, what matters is what the other party thinks." The Kaiser's bored expression signaled that the topic could not be continued.

"Field Marshal of the German Reich?" Little Moltke on the side said tentatively.

"This, in fact, the prince already had the title of marshal of the Kingdom of Bavaria before this, and according to the current trend, the kings and generals of various kingdoms can obtain this rank, which is of very limited significance." Prince Maximilian of Baden said with some embarrassment.

In addition to being officially awarded to generals who can fight and resist, the rank of marshal of the Second German Reich is also an honorary title, and the first and second in command of the major kingdoms can basically get a marshal's hat in the end. For example, in history, the kings, crown princes and princes of Bavaria were all marshals of the German Empire, and the kings and dukes of the Kingdom of Württemberg were also marshals of the German Empire, and even foreign monarchs, not to mention the kings of Greece, the Ottoman Turkish emperors, the Austro-Hungarian emperors, and even the kings of England have all received this honorary title.......

For soldiers, the gold content of this hat is okay, but for the top nobles, this is nothing, and sooner or later you can get it! Maybe Kruger and his ilk had some difficulty, but for Archduke Albrecht of Württemberg, who sat in front of his right-hand hand, the hat was really not a problem. His own lineage and status in the kingdom are guaranteed.

"The title of Marshal of the Navy can be awarded at the same time." Compared with the field marshal, the naval marshal is still very precious, and it seems that Tirpitz has it himself, and this time the naval battle was won, so it is naturally more appropriate to give the title of naval marshal. So Tirpitz made this suggestion.

"Marshal, this can be given." Wilhelm II nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, then Ruprecht will be the first person in the Reich to have the title of double marshal and to hold the title of both naval and field marshal." Compared with the large number of field marshals within the empire, there are fewer naval marshals, currently there are two, one is Tirpitz and the other is Heinrich. Prince William. Tirpitz is worthy of his name, but the latter one is actually based on relationships......

"What about other than honorary rewards? What do you think about the future Eastern Front battlefield and the question of the command of the Navy? "The so-called reputation is just an addition, the real division of rights and interests is the key, and the prince has always been a practical person. And the Kaiser really needed a figure who could be optimistic about the Eastern Front and who could always maintain the vitality of the navy.

"I have asked General Mackensen that he has no objection to the prince commanding the German army on the Eastern Front, and that in the future, once the prince returns to the Eastern Front and commands the Prussian corps, including the Eighth Army, this is also the general trend, and we can give it this title. Of course, the only problem is that the equipment systems of the two legions are different, and it is a very troublesome thing to always need to provide two kinds of supplies. Moltke said.

During the war, everything was based on war, and Moltke himself still recognized the prince's ability and skill, and hoped that the prince could obtain this title, but now, the fundamental reason for the delay in letting Moltke and the top of the German General Staff give this order is that the replenishment of troops and equipment on both sides is the problem of replenishment of troops and equipment. Bavaria and Bohemia were in charge of the prince, and Mackensen's troops were in charge of Prussia, as was the equipment, which would be a very troublesome affair if they could not communicate with each other.
