"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Schlieffen Plan was formulated ten years ago. The situation at that time was very different from www.biquge.info now. Therefore, the General Staff revised the Schlieffen plan according to the actual situation. The revised plan is more suitable for the current situation! Moltke retorted.

He could no longer remain silent on the issue. Otherwise, he would really lose his prestige.

"Humph! Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, the central thrust of Schlieffen's plan was to operate on the right flank in areas favorable to the offensive, with enough forces to encircle Antwerp, Namur and Paris. The left flank fought in areas favorable to the defensive, and the strength of its forces was limited to the extent that it could lure the enemy deep. But after the modification, the right flank was seriously underwhelmed and simply not enough to break through the French defenses. Once the attack fails, the consequences will be very serious! Qin Tian snorted coldly.

Moltke the Younger, like Wilhelm II, was a man of rigidity and conceit. Although, Moltke's plan inherited the core idea of General Schlieffen's efforts to defend the west. But in terms of specific plans, there is a big difference. And these differences are very likely to lead to the failure of the plan. Of course, Moltke did not allow others to question his plans, as it was a denial of his abilities.

"Your Royal Highness, the entire battle plan has been thoroughly demonstrated by the officers of the General Staff. Our plan will be successful. Little Moltke was a little annoyed.

The generals who participated in this meeting were eye-opening. Although they had long known that the relationship between Qin Tian and Little Moltke was very bad, they still didn't expect that it would be so bad. This was a battle meeting for a future war concerning the fate of the German Empire, and the two quarreled-for-tat, which was completely torn in the face.

"Alright, Oscar. His Excellency the Chief of Staff made changes to the Schlieffen Plan with my consent. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. The so-called things gather like and people are grouped. No wonder Wilhelm II and Moltke Jr. became very good friends. The two of them smell like each other!

Qin Tian no longer had much hope for the army's success on the Western Front. He only hoped that the 8th Army Corps would be able to defeat the Russians as soon as possible on the battlefield on the Eastern Front and beat the Russians to the bitter end. In this case, he may be able to transfer the 8th Army Corps to the Western Front as soon as possible, strengthen the attack on France, and strive for success.

Little Moltke glanced at Qin Tian, his eyes were full of contempt and virtue, as if he was a rooster who had won a battle.

Moltke Jr. divided the troops of the Western Front into 7 corps, namely General Cloke's 1st Corps, including 7 corps, 3 cavalry divisions and 3 national brigades, with a total strength of 320,000 troops; General Bilow's 2nd Army Corps, which consisted of 6 corps, 2 cavalry divisions and 2 national brigades, with a total strength of 260,000 troops; General Hausen's 3rd Army Corps, consisting of 4 corps and a national brigade, with a total strength of 180,000 men; The 4th Army Corps of the Duke of Württemberg, consisting of 5 corps and a national brigade, with a total strength of 180,000 men; General Dimlin's 5th Army Corps, which consisted of 5 corps, 1 infantry division, 2 cavalry divisions and 5 national brigades, with a total strength of 200,000 men; the 6th Army Corps of General Ruprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria, consisting of 5 corps, 3 cavalry divisions and 4 supplementary divisions, with a total strength of 200,000 men; General Shiringen's 7th Army Corps consisted of 3 corps, 1 infantry division, 2 supplementary divisions and 4 national brigades, with a total strength of 125,000 men.

On the entire Western Front, the German army amassed more than 1.4 million men, which accounted for more than 80 percent of the total strength of the German army. Of course, this was when Germany mobilized only fifty percent.

Wilhelm II stubbornly believed that the Germans only needed to mobilize 50 percent to defeat the enemy. Of course, another reason is the desire to die as few people as possible in the war. Although Germany has a population of more than 60 million, there are only a few young adults, and too many people have died, which will be very unfavorable to Germany's future development.

"Very well, generals. The units have been deployed in accordance with the battle plan. The war will begin soon. Once the order is given to attack, I hope that everyone will be brave enough to fight and win for the German Empire! Germany will win! Wilhelm II shouted.

"Germany will win!" Everyone is full of confidence in the future war.

In the evening of the same day, Marshal Count Tirpitz, Minister of the Admiralty, visited Qin Tian. The war is about to begin, and the tasks of the navy are very heavy. However, Marshal Count Tirpitz still wanted to hear Qin Tian's opinion.

"Your Royal Highness, you and Moltke Jr. quarreled at today's combat meeting?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked.

"Humph! The self-righteous, conceited guy. He changed General Schlieffen's plan beyond recognition, and he still looked like he was winning. I really don't know where he got his faith. Qin Tian said angrily. As soon as today's combat meeting rang, Qin Tian couldn't help but get angry.

Marshal Count Tirpitz also frowned, it was the first time he had seen Qin Tian like this.

"Your Royal Highness, will the army be a defeat in the next war?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked. If the army is not successful, the battle will be very difficult. If it doesn't work, Germany will be defeated.

"It's hard to say, but it's definitely not going to be too rosy. Even if we win, our losses will be very large. A pyrrhic victory, definitely not what we wanted. Qin Tian shook his head.

After passing through the Western Front, the troops were also equipped with thousands of tanks and other new weapons. However, whether these tanks can play a big role in the war, Qin Tian is not sure at all. After all, although the weapon factor is very important, in war, the most important thing is still people. What's more, the reliability of the current tank is very low. If you run a long distance, it is estimated that not a single tank will be able to drive to Paris.

"Your Highness, what should we do then?" Marshal Count Tirpitz asked.

"Do your best. However, if the army is unable to achieve victory, the task of the navy will be very difficult. When the time comes, the navy will have to find a way to defeat the British. Only then will we be able to continue the war. Otherwise, once the coastline is blocked and maritime trade is cut off, we will soon collapse. Qin Tian said.

Marshal Tirpitz nodded with a serious expression, and he also felt how heavy the responsibility was on his shoulders.
