1614 The Eyes Behind 2

"Mr. Albert, Mr. Bourle has arrived. Is it convenient for you to see him now?" The servant's words rang out outside the door, causing the leader of the right-wing of the German Social Democratic Party to jump slightly in his heart.

"Come here? Let Mr. Buller wait a moment, and I'll prepare to see him." Albert put down the pen in his hand, stood up and tidyed up his clothes, took a deep breath, calming himself down. The person he was going to meet was not a high-powered official or nobleman. For the latter, Albert had seen too much and could deal with any type of people. For a senior politician, talking with these people, making scenes or even intrigues was a kind of instinct that penetrated into the bones. Even now, Albert has been addicted to it and felt the fun in it. But this time, the person he wanted to meet and what he wanted to talk about was different! It was a field he had never touched, so he needed a team led by professionals to help him solve the problem!

"I think Mr. Bulle has come here, I think you already know what we want to do and what consequences may be?"

Without politicians, Albert said straight to the point, because the person sitting opposite him was a soldier, a soldier who had participated in the battles on both the Western and Eastern Fronts and was transferred to the second line due to injuries. Colonel Buller once served as a staff officer in the Royal Crown Prince William's army, and also stayed in the Prussian Observation Corps on the Eastern Front. He had a certain understanding of the situation on the East and West fronts, as well as the Prussian and Bavarian armies. His military level was also very strong. If he had not retreated to the second line due to injuries, he would have probably already taken the general star!

Of course, this is not the decisive reason why Colonel Bühler could sit opposite Albert. There are not many such people in the German army. The fundamental reason why Bühler came here is that he was tested by the Social Democratic Party, tended to parliament, and hated the tyranny of the Junker nobles. Before Shederman was imprisoned, Shederman recommended this person to Albert, but Albert did not intend to take this step at that time. However, now, if the Social Democratic Party wants to truly control the core of German rights, then this step will be inevitable.

The risks are very high, but the benefits are also great. So great that Albert needs to participate wholeheartedly in this matter! And today, Buller came here to explore the probability of success of this matter from a military level!

"First of all, as a soldier loyal to the German nation, I personally would never tolerate the entire Germany being in a state of doom due to domestic reasons. I hate the autocracy of the Junker nobles and the blocking of the channels for the rise of the people, but I love this country, so I think that if it comes time to rely on military means to deal with the problem, I hope that in the end, everyone will only use the sword in their hands as a threat, rather than really wielding it to fight with the house." Colonel Buller once again expressed his principles.

Albert was not surprised by this. Even because Colonel Bühler once again reiterated his principles, his favor and new position were taken to the next level. This matter was not to be a life-and-death one. To put it bluntly, it was a question of how to cut it when distributing the cake. If the German Emperor agreed to the constitutional monarchy and gave up most of his rights to the parliament, then that would be fine. No one wanted to lose this war, and even the Social Democratic Party was unwilling to really completely eliminate Germany's "feudal remnants".

"Secondly, the advice you gave me last time is impossible. The recruits from the second line and the hasty so-called national armed forces are completely vulnerable to the formal German army." Buller took out a document Albert gave him before and said.

In this document, the author proposed to mobilize the masses, seize the armed forces and then overthrow the rule of the German Emperor with the army that tends to the Social Democratic Party. This suggestion was naturally not written by Albert, because in essence, he just wanted to make Germany a constitutional monarchy, rather than really having to abolish the German Emperor. So where does this document come from? It is naturally from Karl Liebknesi and others on the left side of the Social Democratic Party!

"In other words, no matter how hard we try, we cannot lead an army comparable to that of the German Emperor? We need to figure out one thing, that is, we do not have to resist the entire German army. On the Western Front, there are not many reserves of the German army, at most 30 divisions. Even if the German Emperor ordered to quell the rebellion, there were probably no more than 15 divisions, and there were probably even fewer ones who could arrive immediately. After all, we could control the railway quickly." Albert said.

"As long as there are only 5 divisions, the front-line combat troops can have 70,000 people, so even if we concentrate all the combatants, we will definitely not be their opponent." Buller's words smashed Albert's fantasy.

"Is it okay even if some troops were withdrawn from the Western Front? As far as I know, many of them are used to be the skeleton of the army, and their combat effectiveness should not be very low." Albert asked unwillingly.

"It's not just a matter of people, but more of an equipment problem. Before all troops retreat, they will hand over almost all heavy weapons, vehicles and a large number of machine guns and other automatic weapons to the neighboring forces. This is to ensure the equipment level of the front-line troops, and at the same time reduce the pressure of logistics transportation. The equipment of the rear troops is very poor, and there is a lack of ammunition. Even if you can obtain some weapons from some military factories, it is not possible, because the final finished weapons are only available in the assembly plant, such as a tank, you can find artillery in Krupp, engines in Daimler Bengsha, and vehicle bodies at Rhine Heavy Industry, but it is useless to get these things."

"And it should be noted that there are not many heavy equipment that are actually completed in the assembly plant, because almost every other week, these assembled weapons will be transported to the front line. As for the speed of the German troops on the front line? This is another cognitive misunderstanding. Even if there is no railway, in terms of the current number of cars in the German troops on the front line, if they want to move, it will be possible to quickly transport 7 and 8 divisions back to Germany without any problem." Colonel Bühler's words completely made Albert feel nothing to say.

"If we cannot use force to force the other party to surrender as you said, then why do you still come here? Just telling me that I cannot use force to solve the problem, and let me give up?" Albert said with some dissatisfaction.
