The next morning, Moltke Jr., von? Falkenhein and Waldzer went to the palace together to show Wilhelm II the attitude of the Army to the Marines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Your Majesty, the Navy's attempt to form a ground force is absolutely inadmissible, breaking with long-standing conventions. For a long time, the ground forces of the German Empire were formed and managed by the army, and if the navy intervened, it would inevitably lead to confusion in management. This will not only cause a waste of resources, but will also make the army very dissatisfied with it. So, I beg your Majesty to veto the proposal of the Navy. Moltke Jr. spoke eloquently, enumerating the disadvantages of forming a Marine Corps, and asked Wilhelm II to directly veto the proposal to destroy the Navy.

Wilhelm II's face also became serious, although he had already guessed that the attitude of the Navy would be very tough. However, he found himself underestimating the Army's resoluteness in this regard.

"Is this the opinion of the entire Army?" Wilhelm II asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Moltke replied immediately.

Wilhelm II looked at von? Falkenhein and Waldzer.

"Your Majesty, I also do not see the need to create marines." Feng? Falkenhain said.

"Your Majesty, landing wars are no stranger to the Imperial Army. We can train specifically on this aspect. Therefore, the Navy does not have to go to such trouble to create a new force on its own. General Waldzer said.

Wilhelm II nodded, he had an intuitive understanding of the army's opinion. Since these important leaders of the army have already put forward their opposition in a clear-cut manner, this undoubtedly represents the opinion of the entire army.

However, Wilhelm II also had his own ideas. Little Moltke and Qin Tian, the current contradictions have become more and more acute, which is very unfavorable for gathering Germany's strength and winning future wars. What's more, Wilhelm II didn't want to be supported by the army when he died in the future, and Qin Tian would succeed to the throne. Wilhelm II was also able to understand Qin Tian's mood, and it was precisely because of this reason that Qin Tian would find another way, hoping to expand his influence in the army.

When little Moltke saw this, he couldn't help but smile on his face. In his opinion, with the unity of the army, even Wilhelm II would not object. After all, the German Empire was built on a strong army. The Army's influence in the Empire was the greatest. Even the emperor had to take into account the opinion of the army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand your feelings. However, it seems to me that the Navy does not mean to challenge the Army. The Navy hopes to establish a professional landing combat force so that it can minimize casualties when landing on British soil in the future. This is undoubtedly very advantageous for the Empire. Kaiser Wilhelm II said.

After Wilhelm II's words, Moltke Jr., von? Falkenhain and Waldze, their faces changed suddenly. Before, they thought that with the unity of the army, Wilhelm II would be on their side. But now it seems that Wilhelm II's attitude has changed, and it is clearly in favor of the navy. And this will undoubtedly make things very variable.

"Your Majesty, if the Navy has the funds to form a Marine Corps, it is better to invest these funds in the construction of warships. After all, it was necessary to defeat the British Royal Navy before there was a chance to land on British soil. Now, the navy has not even done this, and has begun to talk about preparing to land on British soil, which is too arrogant. Moltke thought about it for a moment and blurted out.

Wilhelm II's face suddenly became a little unpleasant. The German Navy, which can be said to have developed and grew in the hands of Wilhelm II. He has always regarded this as one of his greatest achievements. But now, Moltke actually mocked the German Navy for not being able to defeat the British Royal Navy, which was undoubtedly unacceptable to Wilhelm II. If Moltke had not been his best friend, Wilhelm II would have turned his face long ago.

After Moltke said this, he also realized his mistake. But the words spoken are like spilled water, how can they be recovered?

Feng? Falkenhein and General Waldzer also secretly screamed in their hearts.

"Let's listen to the opinion of the navy first, and then talk about it!" Wilhelm II said with a blushing face.

When the three of them went to the palace, Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz also received the news, and they also rushed to the palace. Both knew that whether the Marine Corps could be established or not depended on the decision of Wilhelm II today. After receiving the order to summon Wilhelm II, it took only a few minutes for the two to arrive at Wilhelm II's office.

"Tirpitz, the Army strongly opposes the creation of a Marine Corps in the Navy, do you have any opinion on this?" Wilhelm II asked expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, the formation of the Marine Corps is the Navy's own business, and it seems that there is no need to listen to the opinions of the Army." Tirpitz was also very tough.

"Tirpitz, how can you say that? You're breaking the rules. What will the Navy think if the Army also builds a fleet? Little Moltke was furious.

"Is the army going to build a fleet? Then the Navy will not refuse, and we will raise our hands in agreement. Marshal Tirpitz replied directly.

Little Moltke was immediately speechless, how could the army build a fleet? Warships, that's money-burning! A capital ship can cost tens of millions of marks, and if the army has so much money, it can go and form an infantry division.

"Tirpitz, is the Navy trying to provoke the Army?" Moltke Jr. was furious.

"Little Moltke, the Navy has no intention of provoking the Army, we are doing this entirely for the sake of the Empire." Tirpitz said.

"Alright, two. Stop arguing, all of you. The Navy will not compete with the Army for power and gain when forming a Marine Corps. The Marine Corps will not form as many troops as the Army, with a maximum of five divisions. Moreover, five divisions will be formed in the next few years, not all at once. I promise that the Marines will never pose any threat to the Army. Qin Tian said.

Moltke still wanted to object, but Wilhelm II had already made it clear by this time.

"In that case, I don't think the Army has any reason to object!" Wilhelm II said.

In such a situation, in addition to Moltke Jr., von? Falkenhein and Waldze immediately said they had no objections.
