The German army won a great victory in France, inflicting heavy losses on the Anglo-French forces in one fell swoop, and even occupied the French capital Paris. Of course, this plunged the entire German Empire into a carnival. But at the same time, it is not that no one is unhappy in their hearts.

For example, Moltke the Younger, the former chief of the General Staff of the Imperial German Army, who has retired, is one of them.

When Moltke Jr. was Chief of the General Staff of the Army, he personally commanded the battles on the Western Front. Even more self-righteous made changes to the Schlieffen plan, believing that he had corrected many of the mistakes in the Schlieffen plan. However, when the war began, he found that the Schlieffen plan, which had been modified beyond recognition, could not succeed at all.

In the end, the German Army suffered heavy losses on the Western Front. Although they also inflicted heavy losses on the Anglo-French forces and captured large swathes of northern France. However, it was not possible to achieve the intended strategic goal, which was to capture Paris and force France out of the war. In this war, Germany fell into the crisis of protracted war. After all, in the case of Germany, once it is mired in a protracted war, it is very difficult to win. Therefore, Germany must avoid this as much as possible.

Of course, none of this is entirely Moltke's fault. Of course, he bears most of the responsibility for this. But others are also responsible. For example, Wilhelm II, and those German generals at the front. If it weren't for Wilhelm II's blind unrealistic demands. If the front-line generals did not listen to Moltke's orders in the war, the outcome might not have been the same.

It's just that it's too late to say that. Moltke Jr. has been relieved of his duties and retired from active duty. This is undoubtedly a shame for Moltke Jr. You know, his uncle Moltke the Elder, but in the war of unification of the German Empire, the chief of the general staff who commanded the German army to victory. Moltke Jr. always believed that with his talent, he would be able to surpass his uncle and build a greater career. But I didn't expect that this would be the result in the end.

When the news of the German conquest of Paris came, Moltke sat in his office and remained silent for a long time. His back looked so bleak and lonely.

"Alas, is it really because of my personal inadequacy? Why was that guy Oscar able to succeed so easily, but not me? Little Moltke looked jealous.

Indeed, little Moltke was very jealous of Qin Tian. Thinking that Qin Tian's luck was too good. Although Qin Tian was the crown prince of the empire, at the age of twenty, he almost started from scratch and established such a big foundation, and he also won the love of the imperial army and navy. It's almost unimaginable.

Originally, there were not too many grudges between Little Moltke and Qin Tian. It's just that Moltke has always been good friends with Crown Prince William, and after Qin Tian became the crown prince, he blindly resisted Qin Tian and suppressed Qin Tian. In the end, the contradictions between the two sides deepened and deepened.

However, in their struggle, it ended in the defeat of Moltke Jr.

"It seems that no one can shake that guy's position. The future throne will definitely be his. Even Wilhelm II may not be able to remove his throne again! Moltke sighed.

Although, he was very unwilling in his heart. However, he seemed to have no other way.

Also unhappy was Lieutenant General of the German Praetorian Guard, Prittwitz. Before the outbreak of the war, he also wanted to compete with Qin Tian for the position of commander of the 8th Army Corps. However, in the end, Wilhelm II transferred him out in order to make room for Qin Tian. This made Lieutenant General Plitwitz very dissatisfied. Even though Qin Tian was the crown prince of the empire, he also had a grudge against the person who robbed him of his position. Especially after the German 8th Army Corps won a series of victories on the Eastern Front, it made Lieutenant General Plitwitz even more angry.

He was paranoid that if he was the commander of the 8th Army Corps, he would have been able to lead the 8th Army Corps to these glorious victories on the Eastern Front. In that case, with those exploits, he could even be promoted to marshal. It was precisely because of that that that he regarded Qin Tian as his great enemy.

Later, he actively joined forces with Moltke and wanted to bring down Qin Tian. But unfortunately, in the end, it was not successful.

Now, Plitwitz is still a lieutenant general of the Praetorian Guard, and his position has not been promoted at all. Especially after Moltke Jr. was dismissed, he had no hope of promotion at all, and it was already God blessed to be able to keep his current position. Originally, the personal relationship between him and Kaiser Wilhelm II has also faded. This made Lieutenant General Plitwitz very unwilling.

"That damn guy, he actually won the battle again. He must have been like God in the minds of the German people and the military. In that case, who else can deal with him? Could it be that he just watched him become the emperor step by step? When the time comes, will I still have a way out? I'm afraid there is no other way than to be dismissed! Lieutenant General Plitwitz was very upset at the thought of this. He is a man who is very greedy for power, and he dreams of continuing to climb the ladder. Whoever stands in the way of his ascent is his enemy. Even if that person is noble.

"General, someone wants to see you." The adjutant suddenly came in and reported to Lieutenant General Plitwitz.

"Tell him I'm not available!" Lieutenant General Plitwitz said angrily, now he is in a state of anxiety, where is he in the mood to meet guests!

"What? General Plitwitz, even I'm gone, aren't you? A voice rang out.

Lieutenant General Plittowitz looked up, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and then, a smile was piled up on his face: "It turned out to be Prince Friedrich, how did you have time to come to the Praetorian Guard?" ”

Someone who came was Etter? Prince Friedrich, the second son of Wilhelm II.

"General, I'm here this time because someone wants to see you. So, I came here to invite the general. "Etter? Prince Friedrich said.

"Who wants to see me?" Lieutenant General Plitwitz was a little confused.

"You'll find out when you go!" Ettel? Prince Friedrich said with a smile, looking mysterious.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince." Lieutenant General Plitwitz nodded.

Lieutenant General Plitwitz changed into civilian clothes, and Etter? Prince Friedrich left the Praetorian Guard headquarters and went directly to a manor in Potsdam by car. In the manor, after a full two hours, Lieutenant General Plitwitz left. It's just that when he left, he had a smile on his face.
