Chapter 1844 Let's See
Crook's attitude is already a little close to Scheer. The parliamentary faction is certainly not a good thing, but the Kaiser? After some blind operations, the high-level army was also very worried about the Kaiser's ability. After all, the Kaiser has been really stunned recently, and his majesty's bad temper was already very bad. Therefore, most of the top military officials believe that if they go back to the past and work under such an emperor, it would be a very bad feeling. , His Majesty's brain is obviously not enough!
"So, you agree with this negotiation?" Pinov said.
"The contact between the two parties has already begun. It is not a secret at all. It is just that the price gap between the two parties is too large. His Majesty the Kaiser expressed his willingness to give up the title of the Kaiser, but the real power of the King of Prussia must be guaranteed, and the Parliament stated that the government must give up the title of Kaiser. The parliament is responsible, the Kaiser cannot dissolve the parliament at will, and the executive power, judicial power and legislative power must be separated, and the hierarchical parliamentary system must be changed to a system of universal suffrage," Crook said.
"The conditions are too much. I don't believe that Bavaria and the southern states will accept such conditions." Pinov sneered.
"The parliamentarians said that their reforms were only within Prussia and would not involve other states. They also said that the Social Democratic Party would never establish branches in Bavaria and Württemberg." Leichter said.
"So, you are somehow staying out of it?!" Pinov couldn't believe his ears! And he felt a little bad in his heart, the parliament faction had already released goodwill to other kingdoms. In this case, the probability of other states helping the Kaiser will be even lower!
"We can't even handle domestic affairs well, so we don't have time to take care of external affairs." The Grand Duke of Württemberg sneered. To be honest, the contribution made by the Kingdom of Württemberg in this war is not small, at least Among the legions under the Grand Duke, more than half of the personnel came from the Kingdom of Württemberg. You must know that the area of this kingdom is only more than 30,000 square kilometers, and the total area is less than one-fifteenth of Germany. However, they also gathered more than half of the army's strength, which can be considered as due diligence.
And because a large number of troops were on the front line, when civil strife broke out in the kingdom, there was not enough troops to suppress it. At the critical moment, Bavaria pulled a hand. Therefore, the relationship between the two kingdoms is very good now. For Prussia, the Grand Duke is really a theater attitude! After all, in the view of the Grand Duke, without these bullshit things that William II did, the situation would be as complicated as it is now?
"We should discuss this matter with Prince Leopold," Admiral Howson said. "If necessary, we need to send a reliable person to test Bavaria's attitude at the conferment ceremony of Princess Mary this time."
Unlike what the Kaiser thought, the Kaiser was overconfident in his own strength, so he wanted to try his best to exclude the influence of Bavaria and handle everything by himself. But the officer corps is not. On the one hand, they have opinions on the Kaiser's approach, and they don't want to participate too much subjectively. On the other hand, it was because the officer corps was a little unconfident after the Herlingen Army's accident. Of course, as for the idea of the Kaiser and the officer corps, who is right? This is really hard to tell, after all, nothing happened. Of course, once it happens, it might be too late! Crook can suppress it once, but he really doesn't have the confidence to suppress the entire middle and lower ranks of the German army. Therefore, conservatism is the inevitable choice for Crook.
What Crook still thinks now is that if he uses the power of the Kingdom of Bavaria, then no matter who comes to power, at least Germany will be stable and there will be no problems on the front line. After all,
The current Kingdom of Bavaria and the Austrian Empire behind it are really big. For the current Prussia, as long as it swings there, it will be a posture of surrendering without fighting! Therefore, the opinion of Crook and most of the top army leaders is to get Bavaria involved, and then solve this problem as soon as possible!
"Little General Moltke also wants to participate in this meeting. If we invite Prince Leopold to attend the meeting, then Little General Moltke should also be able to participate. After all, he used to be our chief of staff." Seeing what Crook and the others thought The idea of asking the Kingdom of Bavaria to intervene in Prussian affairs has begun to be implemented. General Pinov, who knew that it would be of no benefit to carry on, finally made the most correct choice after he came to Brussels. At the critical moment, he brought General Moltke over!
This is really a good move. After all, little Maoqi has been the chief of staff for nearly 10 years, and he has the halo of old Maoqi himself, so it is logical for this former military tycoon to participate in the military meeting. Moreover, the most important thing is that Moltke himself is a die-hard supporter of the Kaiser. Pinov is no longer alone.
"We sympathize with General Moltke's experience, and we agree with General Moltke's participation in this meeting. However, after all, he doesn't know the movements and thoughts of the grassroots officers and soldiers on the front line. Therefore, General Howson, you are responsible for talking to General Moltke. Tell me about the recent frontline military situation." Crook said calmly.
His attitude is very clear, it's okay to attend the meeting, but the attitude of little Maoqi is not important! Agreeing him to come is to give him face! Moreover, letting General Howson get in touch with little Mao Qi instead of letting General Pinov get in touch, gave the latter a soft nail!
"By the way, there is one more thing to explain. Admiral Prittwitz will come here on behalf of several other army commanders, and he will also attend the meeting." Admiral Howson added.
"Damn it! Let this cowardly guy come to such an important meeting!" General Pinov cursed in a low voice. Prittwitz is also relatively famous in history. This buddy served as the commander of the East Prussian Eighth Army at the beginning of the war. Faced with Russia's strong military advantage at the beginning of the war, this buddy was persuaded and then dismissed by the Kaiser. Then Hindenburg came to East Prussia with reinforcements and launched the Battle of Tannenberg.
As for this plane, this buddy is also very cautious on the western front, but the defensive battle is really good! However, because of his conservative and cautious personality, this guy is not friendly to the Kaiser. In his opinion, the most important thing is to first stabilize the situation within the Army Group. He is also the first to publicly promise to his subordinates that the Germans will not fight Germany. People's army-level commander.... Therefore, Admiral Pinov had a very bad impression of him.
"I hope that before meeting Prince Leopold, we can give General Moltke half an hour. After all, this is our internal matter." General Pinov said.
"I agree." Crook nodded.
