So this caused such a result. The German Emperor considered political purposes, while the soldiers only considered military operations, and there was a very serious misalignment between the two sides. Therefore, the German Emperor wanted to take action against the German General Staff, but the premise for the operation was that someone could do this well.

William II and Prince Ruprecht have a good relationship! And we are both kings or king reserves, and they have a common language. Sometimes the two sides will talk about other things. Are kings and nobles the same class? If it is indeed the case in feudal society, the king is one of the nobles, relying on nobles and providing protection for nobles.

But the situation is different now. As the boss of a country, in addition to the original military aristocrats, there are capitalists in the ruling class. The former is a gun, and the latter is a wallet! The kings are naturally wary of capitalists who control their own wallets, and William II and the prince are not so relieved about the Imperial Army officers who control the army.

The loyalty of the officers is one aspect, but more importantly, these officers only care about military matters without considering the conflicts of their so-called military preparation and political needs! The army is used as a national tool, and the king representing the country needs an obedient sword, not a weapon that may affect their own judgment.

This kind of thing happened in history. Around 1890, the German General Staff tried to formulate a deployment against Russia. However, it was then stopped by Bismarck. Now, with Bismarck leaving politics, there is no one in the German government who can form a stable and deterrent force except the emperor. Although the emperor has the right, he has limited understanding of the military.

Already before ascending the throne, William II was considering how to use the sword of German military power after he came to power. If he wanted to solve this problem, the first thing he had to do was to reorganize the General Staff! In the past, the General Staff of the Prussian General Staff was almost the private area of ​​the officers' corps. Most of these officers who came from the Junke nobles controlled the military affairs of the kingdom during peacetime and directly commanded the armies of four states during wartime.

In this plane, the relationship and cooperation between the kingdoms in Germany are far better than history. Prussia and Bavaria are becoming increasingly close, and Saxony has long been defeated. When Württemberg saw that the bosses from South Germany were like this, he naturally put aside some small thoughts. In addition, the emperor and the prince have a good personal relationship, as well as the absolute advantage of Prussia, the emperor began to consider allowing the Bavarian military forces to enter the top leadership and turning the Prussian General Staff into the Imperial General Staff!

Some people may say that this would weaken Prussia's dominance in the German army? That can only be said that such people have a problem with their vision. First, William II was first of all, and enjoyed supreme military orders during the war. The army of the Bavarian Kingdom obeyed the orders of the German emperor during the war. It was wrong to equate the German army with the Prussian army in itself.

Second, it is normal for the Prussian army to be commanded by nobles of other German states during the war. In history, in addition to the strong Bavarian army and enough to form an independent army, it is very common for other nobles such as Prince Wurtem and Saxony to command Prussian army. It is normal for a certain strategic direction to be handed over to the Gentiles. The resistance received by military personnel from other kingdoms to enter the management level is not great.

Third, the German Emperor had the idea of ​​making the Bavarian army bear more obligations. This plane of Bavaria was very strong, with independent military power in peacetime and powerful economic and industrial power that could support more troops, which forced the German Emperor to pay attention to this little brother.

So this time he had to look at Bavaria and see what the Bavarian army, which had sufficient funds and was quite independent, had made in recent years! If these things were really good, then he could promote them. In addition, if possible, the size of the Bavarian army could also be expanded to a limited extent. Anyway, the Bavarian army was the kingdom's own expenses and increased its military strength, and it would not cost a cent more to the imperial central government! Even if one extra army was added, it would not affect the dominance of the Prussian army in the empire.

It has been more than a day since the German Emperor had this idea. He once mentioned this issue with Prime Minister Karipme. The latter did not object after a brief thought. On the one hand, Prussia and Bavaria worked under the same crown and their partners could not believe it, then everything would be over. On the other hand, Bavaria is no longer just a state behind it. If nothing unexpected happens, the Vettelsbach family and the Habsburg family may marry again!

It is impossible for the marriage between these two royal families to say that the German Emperor is not worried, but the key is, so what if you worry? The German Emperor can still give a decree to say that the two families cannot marry? The German Emperor does not have this right and dare not do this! When can the German Emperor be involved in the internal affairs of other royal families? Is the political marriage a big deal or small? Maybe it is simply a marriage, but after the German Emperor struggles, it leads to some unexpected consequences.

Now that the German Emperor suddenly proposed to let the Bavarian army play a more important role, how dare Karipme speak easily? He didn't know whether the German Emperor was sincere or tempted. If he was not careful, he would be kicked away. So, he simply expressed his acquiescence and did not make any substantial statement.

The German Emperor believed that Karipme had acquiesced to his decision, so he decided to take the first tentative step. However, just before making the decision, Karipme also talked about the issue of the marriage between the Bavarian royal family and the Habsburg royal family, and pointed out that this marriage may lead to some changes within the German nation.

Prince William is naturally very concerned about this issue. He has talked with Ruprecht several times indirectly, and even said that if the prince is unwilling, he can help solve the problem. However, the prince did not express his opinion, but he just said he is willing to obey the family's arrangements.

After ascending the throne this time, William, who had become emperor, wanted to discuss with the prince the future relationship between Prussia, Bavaria and Austria. What exactly Bavaria wants to do in the future? This cannot be fooled by just a few words. He hopes to know what the prince wants to get.
