1744 Series 2
In Scher's opinion, throwing so many people into the Eastern Front with harsh logistics supply conditions is a terrible move. Originally belonged to the army, but some army logistics units that helped the navy were also requisitioned. So, Scher now must draw a group of people from the fleet to perform these tasks. These things made Scher's manpower a little tight. Although Scher didn't know how many troops there were in Germany now, he could also feel that if he tossed like this, the troops would be under great pressure. This is why he began to strengthen the security work within the fleet. Since the army was not reliable, then do it yourself!
Influenced by Hippel's words, Scher, who was a little stiff in his head or unwilling to think about things in that direction, finally smelled a trace of conspiracy. Madan, do you really think that people are fools? The German Emperor doesn't understand military affairs. Don't the generals of the General Staff understand?! So, even if Hippel doesn't say it clearly, Scher knew that there were some problems within the German General Staff!
Now, Scher can understand why Hippel didn't tell the German Emperor about this. Because his report or documents could not be sent to the German Emperor.
"It is said that General Markens personally reported this to the German Emperor, but after the report was sent, there was no following." Hippel said.
"Who did you hear about this?" Schell said with a frown.
"You can testify with General Moltke. By the way, General Moltke no longer serves as the logistics work of the First Army and is about to retire and return to his hometown." Hippel said.
At this time, Hippel, who was afraid of doing things inappropriately, finally took out the fuse prepared by His Royal Highness for him. If there was only one person in the Prussian army that could not betray the German Emperor, it must be Little Moltke! His family and his relationship with the German Emperor for decades made it impossible for him to choose to betray him. The effect of this and the fuse was indeed great. Even if Scher had doubts about Hippel's motives, if he could contact Hippel and prove it, then Hippel's loyalty could still be trusted!
Although there is a saying that the tree falls and the money is scattered. There is also a saying that the centipede worm dies without being stiff. With the status and reputation of Xiao Moltke and his family in the army, as well as the connections and skills accumulated by the German army for nearly 10 years as Chief of Staff, although he cannot influence the final decision, it is still okay for others to get some news. This channel and channel have nothing to do with his identity. Whether Xiao Moltke is the Chief of Staff or not, or even whether he is a soldier or not, he has this ability!
Although Xiao Moltke decided not to be the chief of staff, it was impossible to say that he was like an old monk entering into meditation and ignoring civil affairs. As an old fox in the army, after seeing the transfer order from Hindenburg, he naturally found that there were too many inappropriate places. Unfortunately, he was powerless now. The German Emperor would not meet a former chief of staff who had just been driven away by him, and he had no tangible evidence to accuse Hindenburg of hiding evil intentions. At most, it would be a work mistake!
Moreover, with Xiao Moltke's political vision, he knew that he could see inappropriate things, others could see them, but not many people could speak in front of the German Emperor, and could make the German Emperor believe and revoke the order. First of all, the front-line generals in Prussian could only question but not reject this order, and your doubts could only be reached through the General Staff. This order was issued by the new General Staff Hindenburg. So, everyone knows what the result will be. Secondly, Xiao Moltke could clearly feel that there are not many people in the current army who really support the German Emperor, and some people might pretend not to know even if they know it. Xiao Moltke expressed his understanding of this kind of self-protection person... After all, when he was "chatting" with Grand Duke Baden, both sides talked about this issue.
After realizing that the situation was wrong, Moltke was also doing some remedial activities within his ability, but unfortunately, he is not the Chief of Staff now, and whoever is around him can explain what he is thinking? Of course, another important reason is that neither the generals of the Western Front nor the Eastern Front would have enough troops to change all this when the sudden change comes! The troops on the Western Front were nailed to the position by the British and French coalition forces and could not move. On the Eastern Front? Makinson wanted to come back, but how could he come back?! You must know that Moltke was very clear about the current traffic conditions on the Eastern Front!
So, you can say that Moltke had a big brainstorm, or you can say that he was seeking medical treatment in an emergency, but no matter what he thought at that time, in the end, Moltke found Ruprecht...
Moltke thought so, Prussian troops must not be mobilized, it can be said that they have solidified to various battlefields, but the Bavarian legion is different. Even if the Bavarian legion in Ukraine cannot be recycled, the Bavarian legion in the Balkans and Asia Minor can be mobilized. In terms of strength, Ruprecht can completely affect the domestic situation.
In terms of will, the Social Democratic Party and the King are actually inherently opposed. Even if there were some differences between the German Emperor and the Crown Prince, the Little Moltke knew that the German Emperor just didn't want Bavaria to become so strong and had no idea about the crown of the Vettelsbach family. And what about Bavaria? In the Little Moltke's view, it was just a dispute over interests. To put it bluntly, the two major shareholders within the German Liability Company had some differences when cutting cakes. Once the Social Democratic Party came to power, it would definitely be more harmful than good for the Crown Prince, so the prince should stand on his side.
As for the last point, it is very realistic, because, now, the highest-ranking people who can find and directly contact the people are Crown Prince Ruprecht and the Bavarian royal family behind him. After all, it has been the chief of staff of the German General Staff for so many years, and his relationship with Bavaria is also acceptable, so Crown Prince Ruprecht can still find someone to inform the Crown Prince. The first person he found was Bismarck's son, who once served as the representative of the German central government in Bavaria. Then, through this count, he found Earl Schelling, and Earl Schelling also passed the news to Crown Prince Ruprecht.
"Damn, this world is really wonderful. The weasel greeted the chickens with New Year's greetings." After seeing the handwritten letter from Moltke, Ruprecht felt a little dazed and insane. "Please, just a week ago, we had a big fight with Prussia. How big is your brain to think of asking us for help!"
