Dear friends, if you have a recommendation ticket, please support it!

……

The reality of the First World War was that the armies of the Second German Reich did not find themselves in a very dangerous situation on the frontal battlefield, on the contrary, the German armies were in a favorable position on both the Western and Eastern Fronts.

However, the war was not fought only by armies, and the long-blockaded Second German Reich was first starved of internal resources, and then various movements were born.

Some intelligent people decided that almost the whole world could no longer lead to the final victory of the Second Reich, and they began to think about their own future. There is a special term for this group of people, and that is opportunists.

In addition to the opportunists, Wilhelm II himself set a fire to the Tsarist Empire, with the result that the flames spread to the Second German Empire, and then burned the throne under his ass.

In fact, Richie was also an opportunist, and he was always planning how to get a place to stay in Germany after the defeat of the war, and that "land" should be large enough for him to show his skills.

As a soldier, it was not only Litchie who was planning what to do after the defeat of the Second German Reich, but a large group of people of higher rank and high positions than him, who were already working on plans in 1916.

A group of generals, mainly from the General Staff, were formulating a plan on how to preserve the strength of the Second German Reich as much as possible if it could not escape the fate of defeat. It seems to be called the Green Plan or something, but it doesn't matter what the name is, the important thing is that the Plan, as the ruler of the Second German Reich, that is, Wilhelm II, did not know about its existence at all.

"There are a lot of pessimists." Hans. Feng. Seckert kept his expression unsmiling for a long time, but there was a hint of worry on his face at this moment, and he said, "You may not know that we have lost the naval battle at Jutland. Now it is no longer possible for the Entente to lift the blockade of the sea against us, it is a complete blockade. ”

Of course, Litch knew about the Battle of Jutland, but he did not remember when the battle took place, but he clearly remembered that the Battle of Jutland ended with the defeat of the German Navy, after which the German High Seas Fleet existed in name only, and more warships could only be stopped in the harbor and dusted. Since then, there have been basically no German warships on any ocean, and only the Baltic Sea can still play happily with the Russian navy.

The train was making a "boom-boom-boom" sound, and they had left the Somme front two days earlier and had arrived in Cologne by car before switching to the train.

Hans. Feng. Seeing that Li Qi looked thoughtful, Seckert didn't know what the purpose was, but he actually asked: "Do you think we will win the war?" ”

Li Qi, who was originally looking at the scenery outside the car window in a daze, looked at Hans in a daze. Feng. Seckert. It took him more than ten seconds to react, and he hesitated before he spoke: "According to the current situation, France can be forced to sue for peace, and there is still hope of winning the war, but if France does not sue for peace, the war will become more and more difficult." ”

Hans. Feng. Seckert didn't speak, he took a deep look at Richie, and then turned his head to look out the window.

Li Qi was replaced by Hans. Feng. Seckert's deep glance was a little hairy in his heart. He doesn't call "Obey. Rich: "I've seen some information before, and Hans. Feng. Seckert was one of the main planners of the Green Plan. It is because of Hans. Feng. Seckert was fully involved in the Green Plan before he was eligible to become commander-in-chief of the Army during the Weimar Republic.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and in the carriage there was nothing but the sound of the train moving, and the small sound of some officers in the same carriage talking.

Litchie received orders to go to Berlin, and there were no small number of people who received orders, including all the officers directly involved in operations behind enemy lines, as well as a number of non-commissioned officers and soldiers who were considered to be excellent.

In the selection of non-commissioned officers and soldiers, Crown Prince William intervened, so that Li Qi had greater rights to participate in the selection of the list, and Li Qi naturally would not be indifferent with such a convenience, and added all the people who did excellent in his team to the list. Then, after seeking the consent of Crown Prince William, Richie and Wah ~ Er~ T. Von Braucić made the necessary communication before the list was confirmed.

Li Qi is choosing the person he thinks he should pay attention to, Wa~Er~Te. Feng. Brauchitsch is naturally doing the same.

Actually, Wa~er~ter. Feng. Brauchitsch was very dissatisfied with the fact that Li Qi had chosen nearly ten candidates, and he always believed that the Guards to which he belonged were the main force of the operation, and in addition to Li Qi's dominance in formulating the plan, the reason for the success of the operation should be that the Guards action team accounted for the largest proportion. Since he felt so, he naturally felt that he was sincerely dissatisfied with only 60% of the members on the list.

Now, Wah ~ Er~ Te. Feng. Brauchitsch sat quietly in the corner of the carriage, looking from time to time with Hans. Feng. Rich, who sat next to Seckert, then looked at some of the German generals around him, and thought to himself, "Why didn't I get the Blue Max Medal?" It's just so unfair! ”

Oh, and when they arrive in Berlin, Wilhelm II will personally give a message to Richie and Ewald. Feng. Kleist awarded the Order of Blue Max, and the rest of the people who traveled to Berlin were to be received by Wilhelm II, albeit by other dignitaries. It is from the Iron Cross of the 1st degree to the Iron Cross of the 2nd degree, and of course there will be no shortage of Red Eagle medals of the 1st to 4th grades, including the Grand Cross Red Eagle. However, the Grand Cross of the Order of the Red Eagle is still only available only to Litchie and Ewald. Feng. Kleist obtained.

"God is so unfair to Germany." Hans. Feng. Seckert broke the silence, and he let out a rare sigh, not knowing whether to say it to Richie or to himself: "We have the largest population in Europe, the first industrial power in Europe, and the first powerful party, but there are too few of us." ”

Li Qi was silent, he was almost sure of one thing, about the legendary Second German Reich in the First World War, when there were signs of defeat, a group of generals led by the Junkers, they had indeed begun to formulate a plan to protect themselves, but they did it very secretly, so secretive that Wilhelm II, as the emperor, did not know.

[Juncker? The air hole really won't come to the wind! In later generations, there was a group of people who satirized the Junkers, who dragged the Hohenzollern family in the First World War and the Führer in the Second World War. 】
