"But the biggest question now is, can you guarantee the absolute loyalty of the entire fleet and the navy's affiliated agencies to the German Emperor? General Liaole once complained to me that some departments of the navy have been infiltrated by the Social Democratic Party very much, and they even have private association movements." After that, Tirpitz looked at Schell and others, hoping that they could give an answer.

"We are just commanders of the naval fleet, and we can't control the people on the land." Schell frowned. Then he said: "And, it's a bit difficult to convince officers and soldiers to fight for the German Emperor when His Majesty has just reduced our treatment and supplies. I even doubt now whether this guy Rudendolf really has contact with those guys from the Social Democratic Party. They should be thrown into prison and be imprisoned for the rest of their lives!"

"Did the Emperor of Democracy not consider the possible problems in the army when he realized that there was something wrong with the mobilization?" Hippel asked.

"Actually, at the beginning, His Majesty the German Emperor was preparing to deal with the Social Democratic Party with Bavaria. Moreover, the two sides did cooperate very happily in the last conflict in Poland. But then, you can say that the German Emperor's confidence was a little inflated, thinking that after hitting the Social Democratic Party, they dared not cause trouble anymore. Perhaps they believed that Bavaria's excessive strength was also not good for Germany, so a series of things that we are familiar with happened, so that it has reached its current state." Tirpitz sighed and said.

This is a matter that cannot be both fish and bear's paw. If the German Emperor wants to simply restrict Bavaria or simply deal with the Social Democratic Party, but if he wants to deal with both sides at the same time, it will not work. From the perspective of an outsider, you can find this problem, but it may not be possible to be in a mystery. Even when the German Emperor was preparing to establish the "King of Poland", almost all the Prussian senior officials believed that Bavaria would not have a falling out with the German Emperor for tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, and the situation would not be out of control, but in fact...

It would be better if you don't say it, now is not the time to worry about this. "To be honest, I really don't know whether what I'm doing now is right or wrong. I always feel that everyone in Germany knows what they are doing, but the German Emperor doesn't know what he is going to do or what he is going to face." Tirpitz said to those present.

"So now, I'm particularly wondering, do you think the Social Democrats want to do something extreme in this situation? Or is there a real motivation?" Tirpitz said with a frown.

"I once discussed this with General Moltke by phone. He believed that if the Social Democrats still adhere to their policies, establish a parliamentary government, and restrict imperial and aristocratic rights, then this path would be the only choice. When Prussia was at its weakest, it would force the German Emperor, at least the people around him, to surrender." General Schell said.

"Do they know what they are doing? This is playing with fire!" said Tirpitz.

"General Moltke doesn't think so. At least from a military perspective, he believes that the German army is now considering when to take Paris, rather than whether to win or not." Hippel said.

"No?" Tirpitz was a little surprised. He suddenly felt that the German army was stronger than he thought!

"I was also surprised at that time, but General Moltke said that if there was not so much internal friction within Germany and the Central Committee of the Empire and Bavaria could reach an agreement, the number of German troops on the Western Front could increase by at least 900,000! The combat effectiveness of the 900,000 Bavarian Legion and the Bohemia Legion is at least equal to 1.2 million Prussian Legion. With such a great advantage, it is enough to just go directly to the insects without any tactics." Schell said.

"There is such an operation?! Is it that Moltke is too confident, or is the French weaker?!" Tirpitz was a little messy, but even though he felt different from what he imagined, the marshal was really not qualified to question Moltke. After all, he is professional, and after fighting on the Western Front for nearly two years, he can definitely be called knowing himself and his enemy! As a minister of state in the Navy, please don't worry about this matter with Moltke.

"So who do you plan to go back with me to meet the German Emperor?" Tirpitz asked.

"I need to sit in the port of Kiel and control the fleet. General Hippel was originally a good candidate, but now, I don't think the German emperor wants to see any senior Bavarian officials, otherwise let Major General Trota go. He is the chief of staff of the High Seas Fleet." Scher thought for a while and said.

"What about your opinion? Major General." Tirpitz asked.

"No problem, Mr. Marshal, I have prepared for the relevant aspects." Major General Trota said.

"Okay, everyone, we will set off soon. General Scher, the fleet has taught you, so I'll ask you for the rest of the matter." Tirpitz said.

"Everything is for the Empire," said Admiral Schell.

"Hmm?!" Hippel looked at Scher, who looked calm, and was very surprised, because just a few days ago, Admiral Scher said: "For the Emperor of Germany"! Could it be that Admiral Scher's political tendency has changed some times now? Hippel couldn't understand, but when he thought that the Emperor of Germany would most likely cut the military expenditure and budget of the navy, Hippel also understood it because this was definitely a problem of treatment from time to time. As a result, various things made Admiral Scher feel very embarrassed!

"Scher, what if something really happens that we don't want to see, then what should we do? Should we reduce the training level of the troops or find a way to fill in the loopholes?" Hippel asked after Tirpitz left.

"The training level cannot be reduced. We have not had much time left. The decisive battle with the British is imminent. We must not lose the big picture because of the small. Moreover, if the people below relax, it will not only be a problem of combat level, but may also cause other things." Schell said after thinking for a while.

"So how do we make up for the loopholes? The officers and soldiers of the High Seas Fleet, as well as base personnel and employees, have a population of more than 100,000! It's not enough to sell our funds!" Major General Trota said on the side.

"I think His Highness Ruprecht should have already thought about this for us?" Schell said meaningfully at Fisher.

"Damn, why don't I know?!" Hippelmond circled.

"Okay, for the high seas fleet, please trouble you, General Hippel." Schell said with a smile. To put it bluntly, this time, Schell planned to ask Hippel to help him get things! After all, in this era, except for Prussia, only Bavaria had its own independent supply system!
