On September 21, Qin Tian's special train arrived in Berlin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Imperial War Minister Feng? Falkenhain personally went to the train station to greet Qin Tian.

"Your Highness, welcome back to Berlin. His Highness commanded the 8th Army Corps, which achieved a great victory on the Eastern Front. Your Majesty was very happy, and the whole German Empire rejoiced in the victory of His Highness! "Feng? Falkenhayne had an old face, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Of course, the current Feng? Falkenhein, there are plenty of reasons to rejoice. First of all, Qin Tian's 8th Army won on the Eastern Front, destroying more than 900,000 enemies. This was undoubtedly a great victory for Germany. Feng? As a member of Qin Tian's lineage, Falkenhay was naturally happy about this. Secondly, the Battle of the Marne was over. The Germans lost 220,000 men, but they were still unable to advance the front to the city of Paris, but on the contrary, the Anglo-French troops held out under the fierce attack of the German army, and made the Anglo-French forces more determined to resist Germany. It can be said that the plan to quickly end the war, has gone bankrupt. This is undoubtedly very bad news for Germany, but, for von? In the case of Falkenhein, this is different. This means that his old rival Moltke Jr. is in big trouble this time.

Feng? Falkenhain has always wanted to replace Moltke Jr. as chief of the general staff and become the first person in the military. However, he has always been suppressed by Moltke Jr. Now, Moltke himself has made a big mistake, which gives him a chance. What's more, with Qin Tian's big victory on the Eastern Front, this made Qin Tian's prestige in the country once again rise to a higher level. Even Wilhelm II had to pay attention to Qin Tian's opinions and attitudes. If Qin Tian fulfills his promise and supports him, Feng? Falkenhein believes that the possibility that he will succeed in squeezing out Moltke Jr. and becoming chief of the General Staff is undoubtedly very large. It can be said that he has already seen the post of Chief of the General Staff beckoning to him.

"Your Excellency the Minister of War, you are so polite, how can you bother to come to meet me personally!" Qin Tian's face was also full of smiles. For Von? Falkenhein's thoughts, he knew clearly. However, he is also willing to help Feng? Falkenhein got what he wanted. After all, Feng? Falkenhein took refuge in him. It is reasonable for him to let Feng? Falkenhein goes one step further.

"Your Highness, let's go to the palace, Your Majesty is waiting for you." Feng? Falkenhain said.

Qin Tian nodded.

Qin Tian and Feng? Falkenhein, share a car, and head to the Royal Palace.

The Great War has been going on for more than a month, and it has had some impact on Germany. Even as the capital of the Empire, Berlin was somewhat depressed. At least, there are not so many people on the street. Judging from what Qin Tian learned, because of the sufficient reserves before the war, there was no shortage of materials in Germany. However, if the war continues, this phenomenon will inevitably occur, and it will become more and more serious. It's just that there is no way around it, and that's one of the effects of war. The only thing Qin Tian could do was to try his best to end the war as soon as possible. There was no other way for him.

"Your Highness, the Battle of the Marne is over, and we have lost two hundred and fifty thousand men. The Anglo-French forces suffered a little more losses, albeit a little more than ours. However, our strategic objectives have not been achieved. Paris is still dozens of kilometers away from our front, and for us, Paris is so at our fingertips. However, we lost the opportunity to take Paris. "Feng? Falkenhayn sighed.

"Well, no one thought that the situation on the Western Front would become so bad." Qin Tian said. Although, he already knew, in another time and space, the German army still ended in defeat in the Battle of the Marne. No matter how hard we try in the next two years, we will not be able to make a breakthrough. But in this time and space, because of him, the strength of the German army has strengthened. Originally, he thought that maybe it would bring about some change. But I didn't expect that the inertia of history would be so strong, and the German army was still a failure.

Feng? Falkenhain nodded: "In this battle, we not only lost a large number of troops, but also consumed a lot of war materials. The soldiers, after continuous battles, were also very tired. So, in a short period of time, I am afraid that we will not be able to launch another attack. This war will inevitably fall into a protracted war. ”

"Your Excellency, don't be so pessimistic. Even this time, we didn't have a chance to take Paris. But that doesn't mean we'll never have a chance. The 8th Army Corps will continue to attack Russia. If we can bring about a fundamental change in the situation on the Eastern Front, we can put an end to the two-front war and concentrate our main forces against the Anglo-French forces. Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness, do you want to defeat the Russians with the 8th Army alone? I'm afraid it's very difficult! "Feng? Falkenhein frowned.

"Your Excellency, I won't say what we will do for the time being, and we need to keep it secret. However, the 8th Army Corps hoped to cooperate with Austria-Hungary in the next step and attack the Russian Southwestern Front. Have you discussed the matter of joining forces with Austria-Hungary? Qin Tian asked.

"This matter, the General Staff is advancing. However, because someone has been out of form lately, not much has been progressed. However, I don't think there should be much of a problem. Austria-Hungary suffered many defeats under the Russians' Southwestern Front. If they can join forces with us and deal with the Russian Southwestern Front, this will undoubtedly be a great thing for them. As long as the Austro-Hungarian guys don't have their heads caught in the door, they won't object. "Feng? Falkenhain said.

"Has my father's attitude towards Moltke Jr. changed?" Qin Tian asked.

"Because of the defeat at the Battle of the Marne, Your Majesty's attitude towards Moltke Jr. has changed a lot." Speaking of which, Feng? A smile appeared on Falkenhain's face. Seeing little Moltke lose power, he was undoubtedly very happy in his heart.

"That's good! Moltke Jr. was so talented that he arbitrarily revised the Schlieffen plan, so that the Imperial Army was in a disadvantageous position in this war, and he should be responsible for this. When the time comes, I will recommend to my father that Your Excellency take up the post of Chief of the General Staff. Qin Tian said.

"Your Highness Xie, I promise that in the future, I will definitely look forward to His Highness!" Feng? After Falkenhayne got Qin Tian's assurance, he was even more excited.
