1262 Game 1
"If this is the case, Little Moltke, look at our reserve team on the Western Front and the troops resting in the rear, and draw up a table." The German Emperor said to Little Moltke.
"Holvig, please contact Bavaria and let Prince Ruprecht prepare for it. We need to talk about something." The German Emperor turned around and said to his prime minister.
"It seems that I still need to talk to Ruprecht about some issues." The German Emperor said in his heart. He now enjoys this feeling. If people of different forces can sit together to discuss major military affairs, then what is the use of asking for an emperor? This feeling of centralized balance and arbitration of everything is great! At present, the Junker nobles in Prussia control the Western Front, and the troops dominated by the Bavarian Legion control the Western Front. This layout has reached a military balance, and will not make one of them bigger or let themselves be undermined.
Long before Ruprecht came, the German Emperor had already considered the issues that needed to be discussed when meeting between the two sides. While ensuring that the strategy of the Eastern Front remains unchanged, it was not impossible for the German Emperor to temporarily draw some troops from the Western Front to the Balkans. In fact, the pressure was not great. After all, during the Battle of the Dardanelles in history, Markensen led the German army to deal with Serbia. In this plane, Germany was in a better situation. To put it bluntly, if the Turks really couldn't withstand it, it would be fine to send 15 divisions in one go.
Well, why did the German Emperor have to make such a big battle when there was an answer to this question? The reason is very simple. The German Emperor needs to let Prince Ruprecht understand that there are many people within the General Staff of the Prussian General Staff who don’t like you. Therefore, you must rely on the German Emperor and the royal family, which is also a disguised attack. No one will remember your benefits if you add icing on the cake, but it is different if you help in time!
Look, when everyone asks the Bavarian Legion to bleed, it is Brother who helped you withstand the pressure and make your plan complete. You must repay kindness! You must be around the group with the German Emperor as the core of leadership, otherwise, be careful that the Prussian Junker nobles settle the score for you in the future. Well, that's it!
Of course, another purpose is to understand the family background of the Bavarian Legion. How strong is the prince's legion? It is estimated that people, including Moltke, can only answer strongly. However, they will definitely not be able to come up with a specific and convincing information. Although the prince's equipment and equipment report of the prince's army are in line with the facts. Bavaria's military production is also controllable.
However, the German Emperor is unknown to the situation of the Bohemia-Moravian Legion, another legion of the prince, and the German legion is not even aware of the General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because the prince's wife, Princess Mary, is the female grand duke of Bohemia-Moravian. The army belongs to her in name, so Germany will definitely not be able to obtain relevant information directly. As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
How can I say it? The German Emperor could feel a little chaotic situation in the Vienna court at present. Grand Duke Ferdinand has been assassinated for a year, but Fritz still has not confirmed his successor, and several grand dukes from the distant branches are eyeing him. At this time, Princess Mary, the female grand duke of Bohemia and Moravia, and the Bavarian princess, are naturally the key to winning over all aspects, so no one will investigate the former that he is unwilling to explain clearly!
The German Emperor felt a little uncomfortable about this incomprehensible situation. Or to put it clearly, if you know that these forces are held in the hands of the prince instead of using them, the German Emperor would feel even more uncomfortable. So the German Emperor arranged all this. And as usual, the arranged things have no effect on Ruprecht, a person who has reached a certain level of hardship.
"That is, in the month, the landing war in the Gulf of Riga will begin, and at the same time, the Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian Legions deployed on the north and south sides of the front will be put into battle. Our troops in the winter will work hard to form two blockade lines to prevent the Russian army from retreating, is that true?" At the beginning of the conversation between the two, the German Emperor once again listened to the prince's report on the Polish Pocket Battle.
"It's like this. The entire battle will last from one month to one and a half months. During this period, we will encircle and annihilate nearly one million Russian teams. We will mobilize at least more than 00,000 troops to conduct long-distance interspersed combat. The materials and logistics they need will be astronomical, but for the upcoming victory, it is all worth it." The prince said.
"If this battle goes well, then after encircling and annihilation of the Russian Polish front, the Eastern Front will enter a long rest period, right? Considering the traffic conditions in Poland, if the troops want to continue to advance, they need to set up stations in the newly occupied areas and repair railways and highways, which may be longer. Moreover, because of the front leveling, you will accumulate a large amount of mobile troops in your hands. If these troops are left unused, it is a waste, isn't it?" the German Emperor asked back.
"Before the Pocket Battle in Poland and during the process, the Bavarian Legion will not intervene in the Turkish war. But if the battle can be completed smoothly, then my legion can permanently house no less than 6 divisions in the Balkans." The prince naturally knew the German Emperor's opinion. He was not unwilling to take responsibility, but a matter of primary and secondary. After the German Emperor signaled that the deployment could be suspended, according to the principle of negotiation, the prince's appropriate concessions were also necessary. The 6 divisions had nearly 100,000 troops, and whether it was the pure blood Bavarian Legion or the Bohemian Legion who drew, it was a powerful force.
"However, these forces are not enough to solve the problems in the Balkans." The German Emperor shook his head and said. "Although the Serbs were backward in equipment, they were very capable of fighting. They were completely different from the Romanians you face. Now we have to add a Greek and a large number of British and French coalition forces, by the way, there are also Japanese! After the war is over, I will definitely find an opportunity to deal with the dwarfs in the Far East."
The power provided by Japan in this war has been sent to the fourth place in the Allies, and the lack of more than 100,000 Japanese army and the Mediterranean fleet in Japan has caused some trouble to Germany. This is enough to make the German Emperor disgusted, and as a backward country in the Far East, the German Emperor actually intervened in Europe, which made the German Emperor feel that Japan is unforgivable.
