"In terms of diplomacy, how did the Austro-Hungarian Empire respond?" asked the Grand Duke.

"Fritz said that this is a normal military mobilization at the request of the Supreme Command of the Eastern Front. Let us coordinate with Ruprecht. Now, I think you already understand very well. Moltke and others are unwilling to sign the order to let the Prussian army enter the Bavarian controlled area, and even Markensen was retreating. I think that now, some people in the General Staff should be replaced!" The German Emperor said angrily.

"Do you have a suitable candidate? Your Majesty?" After hesitating for a while, Grand Duke Baden still planned to help Xiao Moltke excuse him.

"How do you think of Hindenburg?" The German Emperor thought for a while and said.

"He has no ability to convince the public. He has never independently commanded army-level battles. Even Kruger is a better choice than him. Markensen is a good choice, but he is now staying on the eastern front. If possible, we would better tolerate the little Moltke. After all, in the German army, the south rarely gives people face, but the little Moltke is an exception." said Grand Duke Baden.

"Can the candidate for the Chief of Staff of the German General Staff also depends on the attitude of the Catholics in the south?" However, what Grand Duke Baden did not expect was that his words were like a fuse, which directly stimulated the sensitive German Emperor. The German Emperor said angrily, if the person in front of him was not his cousin, maybe the German Emperor's cane would have been greeted. (William II did have a record of beating people in history)

"Then how are you going to face Bavaria in the south? The empire needs his strength. Even if we win this time, what should we do on the Western Front? In the event of a complete stalemate between the two sides, can the General Staff mobilize nearly one million troops of the Bavarian Legion and Bohemia?"

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to offend you, but now, Prussia and Bavaria must at least ensure an open and reasonable relationship. On the Western Front, Britain and France are watching us, and on the Eastern Front, there are dying Russians, and in Berlin, there are all politicians, they are all staring at us!" Grand Duke Baden said earnestly. As the most iron ally of Prussia, Grand Duke Baden's words are still useful. At least this time, the German emperor did not be as furious as his subordinates!

"They must give in!" The German Emperor said word by word.

"This is natural, the emperor's dignity and dignity must be maintained." said Grand Duke Baden. "What about us?" Although Prussia is much stronger than Bavaria, in this confrontation, they are equal to each other, and everyone has the ability to turn the table up!

"You can do this by yourself." The German Emperor was obviously not willing to consider these things. "In addition, I want to know what Fritz's attitude was between Prussia and Bavaria, and I also want to know what he wanted to do to Hungary!"

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the German Emperor could no longer continue after realizing that he had lost the support of the military in this matter. Instead of letting the Austro-Hungarian Empire gradually replace Bavaria and letting this territory flow out of Germany in vain, it would be better to see if there is a way to recover it.

Another thing was that he wanted to know what kind of Austrian empire Fritz wanted to establish. In the previous impression of the German Emperor, Fritz was a very political person. Although he was easily pressed to the ground by Prussia during the Prussia-Austria War, Fritz's series of actions in the country were classic, allowing an empire that was already on the verge of falling apart to survive successfully. Although various internal problems were internally injured, it was quite difficult.

This time, Fritz tried to complete centralization, and after a European power with the second largest area regained its vitality, this not only scared the hostile countries like Britain and France, but also made Germany an ally uneasy! You know, in history, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also had a warlike master like Prince Eugen. Judging from the initial rise of the Habsburg dynasty, people also fought all the way. From the beginning of the battle against Turkey, the huge territory was not achieved simply by political skills and marriage! Although there were failures, it was not embarrassing to lose against opponents such as Napoleon and Bismarck!

"Okay, I will do my best to do these things well. In addition, Your Majesty, it seems that the supplies we have received from overseas in the past two weeks have dropped a lot?" After a moment, Grand Duke Baden seemed to remember something and said.

"It seems that the British's North Sea blockade has been restored. This time they are very efficient. The amount of supplies we have obtained in the past two weeks has decreased by 50% compared to normal. I have asked the navy to investigate. This order has been issued for a week, but it has not yet been achieved!" The German Emperor's words were full of deep dissatisfaction and a hint of uneasiness.

"If the North Sea blockade is restored, will the High Seas Fleet attack?" asked Grand Duke Baden.

"I don't know, let's take a look at the situation first. The navy cannot have any trouble. Scher obviously does not have the level of Crown Prince Ruprecht." Even though he is dissatisfied with his former friend, the German Emperor still admires the other party's talents and also has the most basic respect for the prince!

"Then for General Moltke..." Looking at the time, the meeting was about to end, and before leaving, Grand Duke Baden wanted to win a fight for the German Army Chief of Staff, who was finally royal.

"He must get off the position of Chief of General Staff, and must leave the General Staff. I can put him in a group of troops on the front line. Well, that's it." The German Emperor made another concession, which was to give Baden a face and a step for Little Moltke. After all, although Little Moltke was a bit overbearing this time, the German Emperor also knew that Little Moltke was loyal to him, but it was just a conflict between his ideas and practices!

"Where is the candidate for the Chief of Staff?" Grand Duke Baden asked again.

"Hindenburg." This time, the German Emperor seemed to be planning to stick to his own opinions.

"Is this span a bit too big?" Grand Duke Baden said in his heart, but he did not say it again. After all, Hindenburg in this plane does not have the victory like the Tannenburg victory as a footnote. Therefore, Hindenburg seems to be somewhat different from the requirements of the Chief of Staff in terms of status and military achievements.

"I need an obedient chief of staff." The German Emperor looked at the frown-frowning grand duke and finally expressed his fundamental purpose! The German Emperor had already understood what he said. The little Mocha had a deep foundation and had a large number of iron players in the army. Therefore, if he wanted to refute the order of the German Emperor, it would be difficult for the German Emperor to do so. Now, after replacing with a Hindenburg, the new chief of staff had too shallow foundation, so he could only rely on the emperor's majesty.
