The news of the victory of the German 8th Army Corps in the annihilation of a Russian army group and the destruction of more than 150,000 enemies in the Battle of Tennanberg was immediately reported to the German General Staff, the War Department and Kaiser Wilhelm II.

When the news came up, Wilhelm II was listening to the progress of the war at the General Staff. Falkenhain is also here. So, the three of them knew the news almost at the same time.

The current war situation, on the whole, is still relatively favorable to Germany, and the German army has made a breakthrough on the Western Front. The Belgians, while still resisting, opened the passage. The main forces of the German army could pass through Belgium, attacking France from the north of France. Although, it took a lot of time, and it also lost a lot of troops. But the Germans still firmly held the initiative in this war.

Therefore, Wilhelm II was still in a better mood. Moltke Jr., the chief of the General Staff, also further expanded his power during the war. This also made him very satisfied. If he could command the Germans to win this battle, then he would have been promoted to field marshal. Even if he retires from active service, he still has a high status. Even if Qin Tian succeeded to the throne and became the emperor of the empire, he couldn't do anything with him.

"What? The 8th Army won on the Eastern Front and destroyed more than 150,000 enemies? My God! How is this possible? "Wilhelm II himself could not believe it. You must know that in this war, what he is most worried about is that the 8th Army will not be able to withstand the attack of the Russian army. In that case, it would inevitably have a great adverse impact on Germany's overall strategy. But now it seems that the 8th Army undoubtedly gave him a great surprise. Not only did he resist the attack of the Russian army, but he also won the battle, which was really surprising to him. It also made all the doubts in his heart disappear at once.

Little Moltke's face changed several times, originally he also thought that the 8th Army Corps on the Eastern Front would probably fall into a bitter battle, even if it barely resisted the attack of the Russian army, but it would also suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, he can let the prepared troops enter the Eastern Front battlefield and appear as a savior, thus taking over the Eastern Front battlefield and exempting Qin Tian from controlling the army.

It can be said that Moltke conceived everything very well. However, the current result is a slap in the face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's victory on the Eastern Front undoubtedly means that the Russians pose very little threat to us. We can confidently and boldly attack France with the main forces. "Feng? Falkenhain said. He had also been worried about the Eastern Front. Although, Qin Tian was very confident in the war. But these old people, who have experienced countless wars, are not so optimistic. Now, Qin Tian's 8th Army Corps has won on the Eastern Front, and the heart that has been hanging on him has finally been put back in his stomach.

"Humph! Your Excellency the Minister of War, it's too early to say this. I very much doubt that the 8th Army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could have won so easily? You know, the Northwest Front used by the Russians to attack East Prussia had more than 500,000 men. Even if the Russians were too poor in combat to win easily, it would be impossible. Moltke shook his head.

Wilhelm II and von? Falkenhein's face became not very good-looking. Little Moltke is simply openly questioning Qin Tian for lying about the military situation. This is almost a very big crime in Germany, where military law is severe. If Qin Tian really did this, Wilhelm II could even use this to depose Qin Tian as the crown prince.

However, Wilhelm II still believed in Qin Tian very much. He believed that Qin Tian would not deceive on this issue. Once detected, the consequences will be very serious.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, you are slandering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do such a thing? "Feng? Falkenhein accused.

"Your Excellency, I have not slandered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I have raised suspicions. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be suspicious? Moltke said strongly.

Wilhelm II took a deep look at Moltke, and he now believed that the contradiction between Moltke and Qin Tian had become more and more acute, and had even had an impact on the ongoing war in Germany.

"Looks like it's time to fix this!" Wilhelm II secretly made up his mind.

"Someone, go and find out the truth about the Battle of Fort Tennan." Wilhelm II gave the order with a black face.

When Moltke saw Wilhelm II's face, he couldn't help but regret it in his heart. It's just that things have happened, and no matter how much he tries to make up for it, he can't make it up. Therefore, he can only bite the bullet and go all the way to the dark.

Wilhelm II used the royal intelligence system and it only took half an hour to find out the details of the Battle of Tennanberg.

After reading the detailed report, the anger on Wilhelm II's face finally dissipated, and there was even a hint of a smile.

"Let's all take a look!" Wilhelm II handed the report to Moltke Jr. and von ? Falkenhein.

After Moltke read the report, his face was already dark, as if it was the bottom of a pot. He also regretted it a little now, and he had jumped out to question Qin Tian if he knew it. Now, how can I take back what I said! Moreover, this time Wilhelm II was offended, obviously the gains outweighed the losses!

Feng? Falkenhein burst out laughing.

"Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, what else do you have to say at this time?" Feng? Falkenhein looked at Moltke defiantly.

"Your Excellency the Minister of War, it seems that I am indeed the fault of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, the 8th Army Corps was nothing more than the 2nd Army, which defeated the Russian army, and the 1st Army, which was even stronger. In addition, the Russian army will inevitably send additional troops to the front. Therefore, the pressure on the 8th Army Corps is still very great. Moltke was still stubborn.

Feng? Falkenhayin smiled and said nothing more.

Wilhelm II shook his head: "The battlefield on the Eastern Front, don't pay attention to it for the time being." I believe that Oscar will win on the Eastern Front. All the troops that were originally reserved should be used on the Western Front. The Western Front is the point. ”

Wilhelm II did not want to waste any more time on this issue and made a decision directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although Moltke was a little unwilling, he nodded and no longer objected.

Moltke himself knew that because of today's incident, Wilhelm II's dissatisfaction with him increased. But he didn't find the reason in himself, but attributed everything to Qin Tian, and he became even more resentful of Qin Tian.
