However, even though he was unhappy, the Emperor of De could no longer remove the Chief of Staff, who had just taken office for a few days, because this was a slap in the face and a trampling on the dignity of the royal family of Emperor of De. No one likes an emperor who changed his orders every day. Regardless of whether the emperor is really capable, the superstructure needs stability. Only when it is stable can one do things, or people have the mood to do things. Therefore, even if he is dissatisfied, the Emperor of De can only be expressed in his face, and cannot be implemented in reality.

Therefore, the German Emperor thought about it repeatedly and rejected the proposal to increase the allocation of materials for domestic military manufacturers, but agreed to Hindenburg's request to equip the new army with heavy weapons in advance. At the same time, the first batch of troops transferred from the Western Front to the Eastern Front were approved.'

So, after the meeting, the entire German Empire began the largest military mobilization in this winter! According to Hindenburg's plan, at least 5 Prussian troops with 200,000 troops would be transferred from the Western Front in stages to the Eastern Front. At the same time, the six newly formed divisions obtained 30% of heavy equipment in advance so that they could form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. With the mobilization and new construction of the troops, a large number of personnel positions followed, and the German Emperor naturally could not do everything personally, and Hindenburg would be responsible for most of the work.

When the statement made by the German Emperor and the Ao Emperor on helping the Ukrainians to establish the country was issued, the additional month's supplies that the German Emperor had promised began to be transported to Bavaria. The prince did not delay and dispatched a batch of new troops from the Bavarian and Bohemia Kingdom to start to go to the Eastern Front. At the same time, the General Command of the Bavarian Legion also went directly to Lviv, which means that the huge Bavarian and Bohemia Leopold had begun to focus on the Eastern Front. In Lviv, the General Command of the Legion, Prince Leopold, the former commander-in-chief of the Bavarian Eastern Front Legion, also began to transfer power to the prince. After a simple ceremony, all the rights of the entire Bavarian and Bohemia Legion were re-concentrated in the hands of Crown Prince Ruprecht.

At this time, Prince Leopold, who was temporarily unofficial, was drinking afternoon tea with the prince in a well-decorated house while watching the information collected from various channels. After a rough glance at the content of the information, Prince Leopold's face changed very wonderfully!

"Ruprecht, there is something wrong here!" The prince frowned and pointed to the stack of documents on the table. Although in history, Prince Leopold and William II have also won the Iron Cross that represents the highest honor of the German military, this level is obviously much worse! Prince Leopold was truly defeated by his ability! As the only marshal who received this honor as a non-Prussian identity, his ability is definitely the top state in Germany. This is different from Hindenburg, Rudendolph and others in the German General Staff. Like Markensen, he fought one after another on all fronts!

And what about William II? Well, to put it bluntly, for the sake of your boss, I will bring you an iron film and pretend to be a fool! You know, William II cared about this back then. Back then, William once wanted to ask his uncle, King Edward of the British Army Marshal's dress, but the other person didn't give it, which made William feel quite angry. So, in order to take care of the German Emperor's emotions, the German Emperor got himself a big iron cross medal...

"What are the uncle's ideas?" The prince took a sip of green tea, then looked at his uncle with a smile on his face.

"I don't know what Hindenburg thought, nor do I know how the German General Staff passed this resolution, but I can see one thing, that is, if this mobilization is completed, the Prussia will be empty! The truly capable troops will not exceed 200,000! Moreover, the legions on the Eastern Front are too large, and they are actually a bit rich, while the legions on the Western Front are a little nervous!" Prince Leopold made a problem with the incisive effort!

"Haha, exquisite!" the prince nodded with a smile. On the surface, mobilizing 200,000 troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front was about one-fourth of the total number of troops. Logically speaking, Germany is currently in a defensive state, and the impact of the troops taking this point should not be very big, but in fact, the deployment of the German Western Front troops is basically a carrot and a pit! According to the data provided by the German General Staff, the German Western Front reserve division now has no more than 25 divisions, which means less than 400,000! After leaving, the reserve unit has left half!

Well, maybe you said that Britain and France are also using a large amount of troops in the Balkans and Asia Minor, and it takes time for them to shrink their troops, so it doesn't matter that the German army, which is temporarily on the defensive, temporarily left some reserves. On the surface, this is also the fundamental willingness of the German Emperor to finally agree to mobilize troops, but in fact, is this really the case?

After all, the German Emperor did not directly lead the troops! Therefore, some of them were far inferior to Ruprecht and Leopold. Although in Prince Leopold's view, Hindenburg's actions were very inaccurate, Hindenburg must understand the problem! That is, if these 200,000 troops left, they took away not only the troops and equipment, but also a large number of auxiliary personnel!

For example, during World War I, how many people were there at the peak of the Russian army? The highest in history was 7 million! How about it? Look at the number is very large? But in fact, how many troops on the front line are there? The maximum is not more than 3.5 million! This includes all the troops on the front line! In other words, in Russia, the ratio of their front line troops to the rear auxiliary personnel is 1 to 1!

Of course, on the Western Front, the efficiency of German logistics auxiliary personnel must be much higher, but even if the efficiency is high, with the advance of 200,000 German troops eastward, at least tens of thousands of auxiliary personnel need to follow up. In addition, don’t forget that on the Eastern Front, the traffic environment is much worse than the Western Front. Consider the cold winter in northern Russia, the difficulty of logistics supply has risen sharply! When the entire Markensen Legion increased from 450,000 to 650,000, I am afraid that for Markensen, the most worrying thing is not how to defeat the frontal enemy of Russia, but considering the food problem of more than 650,000 troops?

And to be honest, even if there were no problems in the mobilization, all mobilizations were carried out in an orderly manner, and the loss of Germany's national strength would still make Prussia even weaker. This was an obvious inappropriate mobilization. In the era of Little Moltke, such a problem would never occur!!
