Chapter 1615 The eyes behind the back 3

"You and your comrades do not really intend to overthrow the Kaiser. You just want to obtain more political and economic benefits for the party. The so-called force and army are just chips in your hands. They are tools rather than purposes. This Just like when we face a tiger, even if we hold a dagger in our hands, we will still lose, but if we use it properly, we can at least force the opponent back." Colonel Buller said with a smile.

Buller's words made Albert a little happy, but within a few minutes of being happy, Buller's next words made his heart skip a beat. "Of course, even so, we must choose a good time, otherwise, the duration of our uprising may only be calculated in hours."

"It is already very difficult for us to deal with the German army on the Western Front, but if the layout is proper, we can barely deal with it. But if the Bavarian Army also returns to the country, then we have almost no chance of winning." Colonel Buller said calmly.

"And relatively speaking, the Bavarian Army is more difficult to penetrate, and they are most likely to return to the division." Colonel Buller added. This problem is easy to explain. The Western Front will not be able to solve it for a while, so the main force of the German army will naturally be unable to do anything. The Bavarian Army was different. The war on the Eastern Front was actually over, and they were just waiting for the Russian regime to be finished. Although the Bavarian Army is now contained in three areas at the same time, after all, there are still several months to go. Who knows whether Britain and France can hold it in Asia Minor?

"What's your opinion?" Albert asked.

"If, before this winter, the British and French forces can still gain a foothold in Asia Minor, then the possibility of mobilizing the Bavarian Army will not be very high. Traffic on the eastern front is poor and troop mobilization is difficult. In order to ensure the stability of the occupied area, Ruppresch His Highness must leave enough troops. Asia Minor will contain about 200,000 Bavarian troops, as well as the troops confronting the British in the Balkans. Counting these three places, the combat strength of the Kingdom of Bavaria has almost been exhausted. "

"Of course, even this is not necessarily a guarantee. If possible, the relationship between the Social Democratic Party and the Kingdom of Bavaria should be eased. We do not require the Bavarian royal family to be on our side, as long as they can be neutral!" Colonel Buller said while saying Bian calculated.

"Neutral?" Albert said thoughtfully. "Okay, it's okay not to cause trouble with Bavaria for the time being." After Albert saw it, the most important thing in Germany is Prussia. As long as we can win the power of Prussia, then everything will not be a problem. This is the most important goal. Others can only move to the back, and from the current point of view, there are still some conflicts between Prussia and Bavaria. If the Kaiser is going to be unlucky, I am afraid Bavaria will really remain neutral, right?

Of course, things like this are not something that can be discussed now. Sometimes it really depends on luck. After all, even if the Social Democratic Party can influence the political situation, and on a larger scale it can influence the German General Staff, it can't influence Britain and France, right? If the Bavarian Army really had the ability to drive Britain and France back to the sea within a few months,

Then this plan might really come to naught!

"If the external conditions are suitable, then what do we need to do?" Albert asked.

"First we must control major cities and industrial areas to use this as a bargaining chip to force the Kaiser to make concessions. In addition to direct military means, strikes and demonstrations are still very good methods. We must try to avoid completely coming to terms with the government. On the other hand, what happened to Mr. Scheidemann has already illustrated the problem. The people are eager to win the war. If we brazenly cut off all supplies, we will undoubtedly be playing with fire and burning ourselves."

"Important cities and transportation hubs need armed control, and sufficient material reserves must be established. The German army will not launch an attack on a city brazenly, because the result will be unbearable for both sides. How to quickly control a city and ensure that the people are at least It is undoubtedly very important to maintain a neutral attitude. We can open some warehouses and distribute the materials in them to civilians as welfare. This is the easiest way to win the hearts and minds of the people."

"We need to delay and slowly expand our influence by boiling frogs in warm water. If we directly cut off the supply to the front line, let's not talk about how to do this. Even if we can really do it, we will definitely face the German army on the Western Front. Counterattack regardless of cost, and the best result is that everyone is finished together." Colonel Buller talked eloquently. There was a convincing composure in his calm tone.

"Your plan is very good. It can achieve the goal while minimizing collateral damage." Albert nodded and said. "But some people may not like this plan. What they want is a complete change."

"Haha, isn't this what you need? We need someone to take on this responsibility. Since the left is so radical, let them take on this responsibility. I think that neither you, the right wing nor the aristocrats have a good impression of them. Colonel Buller said with a smile.

"Isn't it really nothing to have 1 million troops with a population of 20 million?" The prince said with a smile while looking at the legion organization list sent by Chief of General Staff Caliput.

Ruprecht is a cautious person, and can even be said to be conservative. Whether it is war or other aspects, the prince always leaves room for reserve. In the eyes of outsiders, the Bavarian Army's ability to occupy more than 30% of the entire German army's combat power has reached its limit. But in fact, how could the ambitious Ruprecht let his true strength be exposed to outsiders prematurely?

In fact, judging from the fact that Germany has an army of about 4.5 million for a population of more than 60 million, Bavaria, with a population of 12 million, produces 800,000 troops, which is actually a normal value. However, because Bavaria is responsible for more than one-third of Germany's military production, a considerable portion of the population's prime adults need to work in military-related industries. Therefore, it is not easy for a Bavarian population of 12 million to produce an army of 700,000.

The Kaiser and others still underestimated the capabilities of Bohemia and Moravia. Their industrial production capacity was equally terrifying, and after all, they had a population of 8 million. The Bavarian Army's current registered strength is about 750,000. Of course, this is all troops , the combat strength is definitely not that many. But as the actual controller of the Wittelsbach family, the prince can be sure that when necessary, the economy, military industry and population of Bavaria and Bohemia are enough to support an elite army of at least 1.2 million people!

And now, it’s time to reveal the internal affairs reform of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the power game within the German Empire. Who is the cicada, who is the mantis, and who is the oriole? It’s really exciting!
