"This plan needs to be revised, and there are a lot of details that need to be improved. I appreciate that you pointed out some of the problems in the plan, but at the same time, I don't think the loopholes in the plan are insurmountable, and don't you give us an idea to change the problem now? Motor vehicles were used to ensure the mobility of the troops after they broke away from the railway. Schlieffen clearly didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer.

Now it is not in the Prussian General Staff, and he can use his power and prestige to suppress the opposition of others, after all, he is the largest in the General Staff, and the only one who can change his plans is the Kaiser, but unfortunately, there are too few people who can meet the Kaiser and influence the Kaiser's opinion.

But this time, the sad thing is that the two people on the opposite side can do this, deal with the military knowledge, and at the same time be in a high position. In peacetime without military command powers, the Bavarian Corps did not bird the Prussian General Staff at all. And with the relationship between the prince and the Kaiser, there is no difficulty in stabbing it to the Kaiser.

There were already many problems with his plan, and Schlieffen knew this very well, so he admitted it, after all, it would be useless to deny it, but it was impossible to get him to give up this plan, after all, he had been preparing for it for several years, and more importantly, he thought that this was the only plan that could succeed!

Since you say that I lack sufficient capacity, then increase it, and you say that I have an error in the judgment of material consumption, then I should be fine, before everything settles, you can only say that there is a problem with my plan, but you can't veto my plan because of this.

"I also think that Count Schlieffen was biased in formulating this plan, because there were too many troops on the right flank, and in reality we simply could not sustain such a large corps of more than 500 kilometers. We can appropriately reduce the right wing and strengthen the left wing, and at the same time avoid a war with the Netherlands. ”

"In addition, our appetite is a little too great, and according to the plan begun by the Count, the whole westward legion will attack in the largest possible frontal way, and even the troops will go to the sea and then move south, so that the distance of the farthest legion will be 600 kilometers. If we revise the plan, if the troops go south after the capture of Brussels, the distance of the farthest corps will be reduced to about 450 kilometers. This helps to reduce logistical pressure and make the plan more operational. ”

"I'm rubbing! What's going on? Loyal to jump back? The internal contradictions of your Prussian General Staff tell us directly that this group of Bavarians is really fine? Little Moltke, why are you so NB, in front of outsiders to oppose the plan to take the lead big brother? Moltke's words surprised Prince Leopold and the Prince.

"And I don't agree with this improvement plan." Schlieffen looked at Moltke next to him, and didn't seem surprised by the other party's statement, at least frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with the latter.

"Unexpectedly, Moltke is already ready to revise this plan. The thrust of this plan is exactly the same as the revised Schlieffen Plan that was later carried out in World War I. "Any institution may be monolithic, and as Schlieffen's successor, Moltke Jr. also has a lot of complaints about Schlieffen's plan, so after Schlieffen stepped down, Moltke Jr. revised Schlieffen's plan, except for the left wing to lure the enemy and the right wing to raid, many places have been changed, including Schlieffen has been thinking about strengthening the right wing.

But what the prince didn't expect was that Moltke now dared to oppose Schlieffen in public. It really surprised the prince, but think about it, Moltke is also in a high position now, and he has a good relationship with the Kaiser, he may have discussed this matter with the Kaiser more than once, and it may even be because of him that this incident happened.

The prince really didn't plan to overthrow the Schlieffen plan now, the purpose of his exercise was very simple, that is, to tell the Prussians the importance of cars, and then prepare more cars, even if the Schlieffen plan still failed, then the Marne River would lose less, and at the same time ensure that the supply of the eastern front was smoother. 、

The prince was aware of the problem with the Schlieffen plan, but at the same time, under the existing conditions, Germany was also strained by a quick and quick spell, and under the shackles of this spell, God could not do anything, and the Germans could not quickly solve either France or Russia. So, in this case, even if he is asked to make a quick plan, it is useless.

"Relatively speaking, I think General Moltke Jr.'s opinion is closer to reality, reducing the number of targets, saving troops, and thus making up for the lack of transportation capacity. Under the premise that the transportation difficulties cannot be completely solved, it is a good way. Prince Leopold pondered for a moment and then expressed his support for Moltke Jr., and this statement made Count Schlieffen's face tighten!

"Isn't that a prelude to tearing up?" The prince looked at the atmosphere and said in his heart. This is not the same script as the one I started setting, and besides, it's too early to tear it up. "We're just talking about the plan from a tactical point of view, and we have to think long-term about the strategy, and now that we've all figured out what the problem is, we can talk about how to solve it."

His Royal Highness the Prince quickly set the tone for this reminiscence, and this meeting was nothing more than to find problems and solve them. As for whether and how to revise the Schlieffen plan, that's your business. Of course, the Bavarian side may also intervene along the Kaiser's route, but let's not talk about that for now. Let's take a look at my Bavarian Mobile Corps, and I hope to give you some inspiration.

His Royal Highness's words took into account the face and needs of all parties. It's very common to have problems, just solve the problem, don't go online. Okay, now let's explore the problem solved. On a huge, large-scale map, the prince makes a pencil stroke that follows the curve of the road.

"Three days! We spent three days not relying on railways, but relying solely on roads and vehicles to travel 110 kilometers! The whole army was fully loaded and brought with them a battle load. To put it bluntly, this exercise is an armed training to test the army's ability to mobilize under conditions of combat readiness.

Originally, the plan was like this, but suddenly I don't know if it was Schlieffen's earlier plan or an impromptu idea. Suddenly, a request was made to add an exercise: "The Bavarian Corps is doing very well in the field defense of the Far East, I wonder if we can arrange a field offensive and defensive battle so that we can observe it?" ”

"Hey, aren't you looking for trouble?" The prince said in his heart, but although it is a little tricky, it is not impossible, after all, except for the regular corps, it is difficult to mobilize in a short time, and the two guards regiments of the Bavarian royal family are in a state of combat readiness at any time, and it is not a problem to arrange an offensive and defensive war exercise.
