August 1, 1914, General Staff of the German Army. Kaiser Wilhelm II and Crown Prince Qin Tian www.biquge.info the General Staff Headquarters to listen to the operational deployment of the Army. Germany had already declared war on Russia and was about to declare war on France. Therefore, the war is about to begin.

The German Army has begun to fully mobilize, and a large number of reservists are being assembled. They will be divided into battalions and sent to designated areas for reorganization, forming one infantry division after another. With the population and industry of Germany, there is no problem at all in mobilizing more than three million land forces.

If Germany was a sophisticated war machine, it is now running at high speed. And, it will explode with incredible power.

"Generals, is the Imperial Army ready for battle? Are you ready for victory for the Empire, glory for you? Wilhelm II looked at the generals of the Imperial Army. In the entire conference room, it can be said that a large number of generals and lieutenant generals gathered here. The major general did not even qualify for this meeting.

"Ready! Fight for the Empire and defeat your enemies! All the generals replied loudly. Everyone's face was full of excitement and excitement. Germany had been preparing for this war for a long time. In the same way, these generals have been preparing for a long time. They desperately wanted to go to war, so that they could attain higher glory and the military merit needed for promotion.

These generals are also very optimistic that they will be able to win this war.

"Very good, the German Imperial Army, the first in the world. This time, we're going to teach the damned Russians and French a hard lesson. Wilhelm II said with satisfaction. It was as if he had also seen the day when the German* army defeated the Entente and ascended to the top as the world hegemon. When the time comes, he will become the most powerful man in the world, there is no one!

Next, Moltke Jr., Chief of the General Staff, began to introduce the operational deployment of the Army.

"Your Majesty, according to the battle plan we have drawn up before, the battle against Russia on the Eastern Front will be handed over to the 8th Army Corps at the initial stage. However, the Russians are mobilizing at a rapid pace. Russia's standing army, which is also massing towards the border, is expected to begin their offensive soon. Therefore, I propose to further strengthen the strength of the 8th Army Corps, from the current 10 infantry divisions to 18 infantry divisions. This, together with the Austro-Hungarian army, should be able to stop the Russian offensive. Moltke said.

"No, the 8th Army Corps does not need to be strengthened. With our strength, it is enough to resist the attack of the Russians. Use those eight infantry divisions on the Western Front! Compared with the battlefield on the Eastern Front, the battlefield on the Western Front is even more important. Qin Tian flatly refused.

Although, strengthening the forces in their hands, this is perhaps what everyone wants. However, for the sake of the overall situation, Qin Tian still refused. As Qin Tian said, the battlefield on the Western Front is the most important. If Germany had not been able to win a quick victory on the Western Front in this war, the war would have reached a stalemate. When the time comes, all hopes will be pinned on the Navy. This situation will be very unfavorable. Qin Tian hoped that the army could open up the situation on the Western Front, so that Germany's chances of victory would be greater.

"Your Royal Highness, now is not the time to be rash. I have already made arrangements for the battlefield on the Western Front. Now the situation on the Eastern Front is critical. If the Eastern Front is unable to defend itself against the Russian attack, we will not only lose East Prussia, but even our capital will be threatened by the Russians. In that case, we're going to lose all our work! Little Moltke looked angry, thinking that Qin Tian was deliberately making trouble.

"No, Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, this is not presumptuous, but I have full confidence in the 8th Army Corps. I believe that the 8th Army Corps will be able to withstand the Russian attack. In addition to the ten infantry divisions, we have one armored division. Qin Tian was full of confidence.

Moltke was furious and wanted to say something more. However, it was stopped by Wilhelm II.

"Oscar, are you serious?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Yes, Father. There will be no problems on the Eastern Front. The 8th Army Corps will teach the Russians a hard lesson. Buying a month for the Western Front, absolutely no problem. Therefore, the limited forces should be invested in the Western Front. A more adequate army is needed there. Qin Tian said with a serious face.

Wilhelm II nodded: "Well, generals, we should trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The 8th Army Corps will certainly have no problem dealing with those poorly equipped Russians! ”

"Haha! Long live the 8th Legion! The Russians are too weak. The generals laughed.

Seeing this, Moltke had no choice but to stop insisting.

Subsequently, Moltke Jr. gave a presentation on the deployment of the Western Front. But after Qin Tian heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

Moltke Jr. changed the battle plan left by his predecessor, General Schlieffen, beyond recognition. In particular, the essence of the whole Schlieffen plan undoubtedly consisted in the build-up of heavy forces on the right flank of the Western Front, bypassing the French lines and attacking from the weak areas of northern France. But now, Moltke Jr. has severely weakened the right flank and strengthened the left and center. That way, it seems a little safer. However, it will make the right flank insufficient to attack due to the lack of troops, so that they will not be able to accomplish the intended combat objectives.

In another time and space, the German Army missed the opportunity to take Paris because of such a deployment. At that time, the closest troops to Paris were only a few dozen kilometers away, and if they launched another attack, they might be able to take Paris. Once the Germans took Paris, it was possible that France would withdraw from the war. Maybe history will be rewritten because of this.

On this plane, Moltke Jr. still modified the Schlieffen plan. Although he was full of confidence, Qin Tian knew that if he made such a modification, the German army would not only fail to win, but would even fall into the quagmire of war.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, this does not seem to be the same as General Schlieffen's plan. I remember that when General Schlieffen died last year, he said that the battle must be fought, but the right wing must not be weakened! Qin Tian once again stood up and raised objections.

Suddenly, Moltke's face turned black as if it was the bottom of a pot. Qin Tian jumped out again and again to accuse him, still in front of so many army generals, which undoubtedly made him lose face! In addition, Moltke Jr. has always thought that he is stronger than General Schlieffen, but now Qin Tian accuses him of modifying Schlieffen's plan, obviously not taking him seriously!
