The generals of the army were stunned, they didn't expect that Wilhelm II would give such an order, wouldn't this be to hand over the eight main army corps of the Western Front, as well as the two corps that were immediately transferred to serve as reserves, to Qin Tianlai to command? In this way, it is almost equivalent to putting the entire German Army under Qin Tian's control. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

You know, Wilhelm II was very conceited and suspicious, and he didn't trust anyone but himself. To be able to make such a decision for him to be able to do that is undoubtedly very incredible.

Of course, with Qin Tian's identity and influence in the army, it is undoubtedly very appropriate for him to command this Western Front War. Even if Qin Tian is still very young, even those veterans have to be convinced of his achievements.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has completely determined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will succeed to his throne, and nothing will change in any of this." Almost all the generals have such thoughts in their heads.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will definitely fully cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Everyone replied.

In such a situation, naturally no one would be stupid enough to object. Even among those generals, some of them had a very close relationship with Crown Prince William. However, in the case of Crown Prince William becoming a vegetative person, Qin Tian's ascension to the throne is already inevitable. Now, Qin Tian is even more fledgling, even if Crown Prince William wakes up, he will no longer be able to prevent him from ascending to the throne.

"Father, I will definitely lead the army to defeat the British and French forces and defeat France!" Qin Tian also assured Wilhelm II.

This was an opportunity for him to establish a leading position in the army, and he would not be stupid enough to refuse. Qin Tian faintly believed that after this battle was over, his position would be truly unshakable.

With the German Empire already having a great chance of winning this world war, Qin Tian naturally didn't want to give up the opportunity to take control of this powerful empire. Power is so intoxicating, after tasting the taste of power, no one will take the initiative to give it up.

Wilhelm II nodded: "Well, very good, then the next battle plan will be discussed by you, and I will go back." ”

After Wilhelm II finished speaking, he left the war room. Now Wilhelm II is not young, and his energy is a little insufficient. And Qin Tian's performance was extremely excellent, which naturally made him feel at ease and boldly hand over the empire to Qin Tian to command. He can use this time to take care of other matters.

You know, ruling a vast empire like the German Empire is undoubtedly very busy. All sorts of things lay on his shoulders. Now that someone can share some of the pressure, Wilhelm II naturally couldn't ask for it.

After the departure of Wilhelm II, the battle meeting continued. It's just that the eyes of these Imperial Army generals who looked at Qin Tian have also undergone some changes. Previously, they regarded Qin Tian as the prince of the empire and treated Qin Tian with great respect. However, Qin Tian was not able to truly decide their fate. Unless it was Qin Tian who really inherited the throne from Wilhelm II one day. But now, an order from Wilhelm II directly made Qin Tian the top boss of their group. Naturally, they needed to obey Qin Tian's orders.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask you to support my work in the coming period!" Qin Tian looked at the generals with a smile on his face.

"Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, you are the prince of the empire, and now you are the commander of the Western Front, we will definitely do our best to assist you!" The speaker was the commander of the German 6th Army, General Ruprecht, who was also the crown prince of the Kingdom of Bavaria and Qin Tian's brother-in-law. For Qin Tian, of course, he has to support it wholeheartedly.

The other generals also expressed their full support for Qin Tian. Whether they really want to it or not, at least on the surface, they still need to make it look like this.

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the Chief of the General Staff, Feng Tian? Falkenhein: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, let me introduce the battle plan to you!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Feng? Falkenhayn nodded.

As Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff, von ? Falkenhain is a man of Qin Tian. If it weren't for Qin Tian's support for him, it would have been impossible for him to squeeze out Little Moltke and concurrently serve as the chief of the General Staff. Of course, one of the main reasons was that Moltke Jr. made a command error on the Western Front, which led to heavy losses for the German army on the Western Front, but it was not able to achieve the predetermined combat objectives. This caused the dissatisfaction of Wilhelm II, and with the help of Qin Tian, Wilhelm II finally removed Moltke Jr.

Even if Feng? Falkenhayne concurrently served as the chief of the general staff and became the first person in the army, but he was still loyal to Qin Tian. In his opinion, Qin Tian has achieved his current achievements at such a young age, and he will inevitably be a great emperor in the future. If you follow Qin Tian, you will definitely be able to go down in history.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present we have assembled 8 legions on the Western Front. With the exception of the 7th and 6th Corps, the remaining five regiments were assembled north of the Marne. Therefore, our first goal in this campaign is to cross the Marne, defeat the Anglo-French army, and then attack Paris to defeat the French in one fell swoop. "Feng? Falkenhain said.

"The specific battle plan was as follows, the 1st Army Corps and the 8th Corps, forming a right flank group, starting from Amiens, attacking Rouen, crossing the Seine there, and then attacking Paris to the east. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Army Corps attacked the Anglo-French Marne Line head-on, supporting the 1st and 8th Army Corps. The 6th and 7th Legions, attacking Verdun from the east, and after taking it, attacked all the way to the west, together with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Legions, to attack Paris. In this battle, our main strategic objective will be to wipe out the main forces of the Anglo-French forces in Paris and on the Marne front. "Feng? Falkenhain said.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, if you start from Amiens, capture Rouen, and then turn back and attack Paris, the distance is almost two hundred kilometers. This is undoubtedly extremely difficult for the large army. The commander of the 1st Army Corps, Admiral Crook, questioned it.

"General Crook, we will prepare a large number of trucks for the 1st and 8th Corps to guarantee the supply of war materiel. At the same time, it was possible to transport troops and war materiel with the help of trucks, as well as the railway network of the French. If it goes well, there will be no problem in advancing to Paris within half a month. Qin Tian said.

Admiral Crook nodded and said no more.
