And now? The proportion of officers from Junker's nobles in the Prussian Legion decreased, which made the noble officers dissatisfied, but at the same time it made the civilians and petty bourgeoisie very satisfied because they obtained more channels of promotion. If this is reflected in the parliament, it is that the relationship between the emperor and the parliament is more harmonious. On this issue, the German emperor, the civilian class, and the Bavarian kingdom are all beneficiaries, but the Junker nobles and capitalists are at a disadvantage! Therefore, it is normal for some people within the General Staff to be somewhat hostile to Bavaria. The same is true, including Hellingen.&1t;/p>

However, there are many types of hostility. Some people want to eat meat and sleep, such as some capitalists, while others are alert or slightly hostile. They will try every means to weaken the power of the Bavarian Legion while taking into account the overall situation. General Hellingen even thinks that Moltke wants this to some extent.&1t;/p>

"So why is Chief of Staff of the Little Moltch so ambiguous about this matter? If as we had expected before, then Chief of Staff of the Little Moltch should be tougher even if he does not pass the vote of the General Staff. For example, by reducing the forces originally used to support the Polish Pocket Campaign, Bavaria will make concessions." Hindenburg asked.&1t;/p>

"Because this is not a political issue, but a military issue! There is no right or wrong in politics, only win or lose, while military is an objective issue. The interests of political parties or factions must not be above military victory, otherwise there will inevitably be problems." General Hellingen said.&1t;/p>

This seems difficult to understand, but to put it simply, it is like this. The political issue is a struggle between different factions. Can you say who is right or wrong? No, people will only remember the final winner, but the military issue is an honest issue. You cannot ignore the victory of the war because of your political likes and dislikes! This is going to happen!&1t;/p>

"Including the German Emperor and the Chief of Staff of Moltke, they all lacked understanding of the prospects of the war. They did not know how to end the war successfully. At the beginning, we thought we could mobilize quickly and then throw away France, and then turn back to fight the Russians. But the facts proved that our plan was a failure, and we were struggling even before the Bavarian army advanced westward. However, the strategy of concentrating efforts to fight Russia, which was advocated by Prince Ruprecht, had good results. In the absence of a better way, the German Emperor and the Little Moltke naturally believed in the Bavarian prince who had never disappointed, and thus agreed to his strategy, that is, to collapse Russia this year!"&1t;/p>

"And because this strategy has become the only strategy we can adopt at present, the entire Prussian General Staff has no way to force the prince to do anything. Because if this plan is not successful, our situation will be very bad! No one dares to take this risk." Hellingen said.&1t;/p>

"But everyone has never thought about what would happen if Prince Ruprecht's plan followed and ultimately failed? Who will bear this responsibility?" Hindenburg asked.&1t;/p>

"If the plan fails, then he will naturally bear the consequences. The German Emperor will not show mercy. He will lose command of the Eastern Front and may even take his corps to the Western Front. However, this is a future, and we cannot make decisions now."&1t;/p>

"So what are the criteria for victory and failure?" asked Hindenburg.&1t;/p>

"In the near future, the five armies in Poland will naturally be destroyed. In the long run, they will enter the Ukrainian Plain and even the Transcaucasus region. At the same time, they will push the front to St. Petersburg in the northeast. At the same time, Russia has lost the ability to counterattack the large army. The Prussian army deployed on the Eastern Front can be transferred to the Western Front, and the Bavarian army can completely control the situation on the Eastern Front and the Balkans." General Hellingen said.&1t;/p>

"Aren't the Russians surrender?" Hindenburg said in surprise.&1t;/p>

"How is it that easy? It would be nice to do this." General Hellingen sighed. "The prince said it very clearly at the meeting that we can occupy these areas and get the supplies and supplies needed to put Russia in hunger. This can already change our situation well. Believe me, this is our best result now. Before the Bavarian Legion arrives on the Western Front, we cannot break through the defense line of the British and French forces."&1t;/p>

"We seem to have won this game?" After the meeting, Baron Schmidt, who accompanied the prince in his study, asked tentatively after listening to the content of the meeting.&1t;/p>

"Of course not, it's just a temptation. The bargaining with the German Emperor has not yet begun, but fortunately, the German Emperor will no longer borrow the General Staff to suppress us. If you can't get on the table, you can also say it in private." The prince said with a smile.&1t;/p>

"So do we have the ability to suppress the Balkan Allies while completing the mission on the Eastern Front?" asked Baron Schmidt.&1t;/p>

"No sure." Ruprecht said with great certainty. Putting aside the Battle of Dardanelles for the time being, just from the Polish pocket encirclement and annihilation plan, the prince estimated that this battle was completely in scale, and it was definitely unprecedented. The prince's goal was to come from the five armies in his pocket! With some fortress garrison troops, it was estimated that millions! The Russian army was surrounded and annihilated in the largest encirclement and annihilation battle in the Kiev battle in history. There were only 60,000 troops! Nearly 30 years earlier than in history, and under the conditions of World War I, a battle larger than the historical scale, was quite huge. If the battlefield was not very close to Germany and the power in the prince's hands was indeed strong, the prince would not even want to try it!&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, even if you have 10,000 pigs, it will take you a hard time to catch them! Think about it, when the Russian army of these five armies realizes that they are going to be surrounded, how terrible it will be to fight back before they fight to the death. After all, they have thousands of artillery, sufficient ammunition and troops like tides. Sometimes, when the number exceeds a certain limit, there is really nothing we can do. For the specific situation, please refer to the movie "The Fall of the Black Hawk"...&1t;/p>

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the prince not only concentrated all the forces he could mobilize, but also reaped troops from the German Emperor as much as possible. This is definitely not private, but if it can be done, the strategic prospects are too tempting! Even if it cannot be done, the losses of the German Legion will not be great.&1t;/p>
