Chapter 1752 Seeing the Poor Dagger One
"We don't have time to worry about these things. The best opportunity is coming. There may be major events in Hungary recently, and the Bavarian Army is likely to be involved. The force we are most worried about can already be removed from this game. Even if Scheer knows So what? He has no evidence! We can deny it at all." Albert said indifferently.
"So under what circumstances are you going to meet Scheer?" Albert asked.
"At the Navy Club in the Port of Kiel, where we will arrange for personnel to distribute condolences and preach our proposition to the personnel of the Navy, in this case, Scheer absolutely dare not do it." Noske said.
"What's more, I won't tell him anything that can't be told. We just insist on universal suffrage, insist on limiting the power of the emperor, and insist that the parliament is higher than the Kaiser. Haven't we always been like this? The old imperial system is no longer suitable for the new one. Empire." Knowles said meaningfully.
"So do you think Scheer will accept our offer?" Landsberg asked.
"It's hard to say. I didn't have much contact with Scheer before, but I always have to try it. If we can master the fleet, then many things will be easier to handle. Now Scheer not only has the fleet, but also the fleet. The control of the port seems to be stretched a little too far by the Navy," Knowles said.
"Do our best, we have waited for the best time, we can only succeed but not fail." Albert said with a glance at Knowles.
Five days later, more than a dozen trucks full of various food and daily necessities drove to the Navy Club in Kiel, the German Navy. The head of the Navy Club personally welcomed Knowles. The head of the Kiel region of the German Social Democratic Party has a very high reputation in the local area. Both the city and the navy welcome him very much. This is not a one-day effort. He is a senior member of the German Naval Association, and he shouts for the construction of the German Navy. Although it may not have much effect, a considerable number of naval personnel still have a certain affection for him.
But this time, when the rationing and welfare of German naval personnel were cut, Knowles' arrival aroused high welcome from the navy. And it just happened that Scheer returned to the port with the first and second battleship detachments of the High Seas Fleet. At the request of the base executives, seeing dozens of tons of various food and daily necessities, Scheer couldn't bear it, so he could only Met this Mr. Knowles.
At this time, in an office of the Navy Club, Scheer looked out at the square outside the window. In the center of the square, the man in the top hat was directing the distribution of supplies, and at the same time was preaching something loudly. Cheers broke out in the square from time to time, and the scene was very enthusiastic.
"These politicians can always confuse people with the lowest payment at the most appropriate time." Rear Admiral Trota, the chief of the Navy's general staff, said with a look of disgust.
"But it's a pity that some people like this, and don't be so stupid as everyone thinks. I don't believe it if some high-level people don't benefit from these things." Scheer said calmly. "But one thing I admit, these guys do a good job of putting on a show."
Dozens of trucks and dozens of tons of supplies seem to be piled up into a hill. In fact, let alone the entire navy, how much can this be distributed to the High Seas Fleet? Honestly! During wartime, the High Seas Fleet, in addition to the normal rationing, the most "foreign aid" received by the fleet personnel was the additional assistance provided by Bavaria. Let alone the supply of the Naval Air Force affiliated to Bavaria, simply speaking of the fleet, each Bavarian There are about 500 tons of daily necessities and food given by Moonlight! This is not to mention the additional fuel, spare parts and other supplies allocated! How much help do those Social Democrat guys help?
What if it helps in naval construction? The Warship Design Bureau under the Kingdom of Bavaria almost contracted the warship design of the entire German fleet.
Even the kingdom paid for the expansion of the submarine force, which is much better than those who can only talk about it, and even stumbling the navy's expansion within the parliament. Scheer is very uncomfortable with someone's show, but somehow, some people like it, even if they have received extra rations from Bavaria for more than ten months before, the total value is a few dollars of the labor force this time. ten times. But it still does not prevent some people from having a strong affection for the right wing of the Social Democratic Party!
"Okay, I'll meet with that Knowles in a while, and see what they want to do by the way, you avoid it." Admiral Scheer said. Although Scheer is a soldier and likes politics, he is not alone now that the domestic political situation is changing. He must find a way out for his subordinates and the navy. If it is loyal, then now, this loyalty will have to be discounted!
This is not because the Kaiser cut some rations and supplies to make Scheer feel dissatisfied. In fact, since the start of the war, the treatment of the German Navy has actually declined. This time the decline may be a bit much, but it is not unprecedented. Once, the key is that Scheer felt that the Kaiser was simply out of his mind when making some decisions! The Kaiser is asking for trouble by doing this kind of thing at this sensitive time. This makes people think that because the navy could not do what the Kaiser asked, the Kaiser directly chose revenge.... But what is the use of such a thing? No use other than to increase the displeasure of the Navy! The navy is not afraid of war, it just thinks the time has not come. And the Kaiser's disposition seems to be punishing a fear of war! How does this make people inside the Navy think?
If you consider the fact that the conflict between Prussia and Bavaria was brought to the navy, not to mention the intensification of the internal conflicts in the navy, the Bavarian navy officers and soldiers will be very distrustful and even disgusted with the Kaiser. Even with the help of Hipper, these problems have not been settled yet.
Therefore, Scheer is very dissatisfied with William II now, thinking that he is a person who has deviated in handling things at critical moments, and at the same time does not understand the navy. They do not understand the difficulties of the navy, and they are arbitrary without considering the actual situation. The demands of the Navy to perform the impossible. For this kind of boss, everyone will not have a good impression.
And now the first thing in Scheer's mind is Germany. What he cares most about is where Germany will go after this incident. Will it fall into endless internal struggles or become a real empire? And the second place is the navy and its officers and soldiers. Scheer would like to know who can bring a better future to the Navy, the Social Democrats or the Kaiser!
