Chapter 1756: Sher's Thoughts II
"General Scheer, you were promoted from the commoner class. You should be able to understand how much it takes for a commoner to stand out in this society ruled by the emperor and Junker nobles! And we All you have done is to change this situation, and now is the last chance. Once the war is over, the empire will return to its original state. For the sake of the navy and the country, you should also make a correct choice. And we also Not hesitate to use some drastic means," Knowles said.
"A drastic means? More drastic than strikes and demonstrations?" Scheer asked rhetorically.
"It will be more intense. We are fully sure that there are also many people in the army who oppose the dictatorship of the Junker nobles, and they also want to change this country." Knowles said.
"Under the current situation, when the empire is still at war and almost all troops are fighting, you actually choose to do this? Is it really appropriate? Are you not afraid of the collapse of the battlefield as a result?" Scheer couldn't believe it Said.
"We have considered this point. The war on the Eastern Front has actually come to an end. The Empire has huge advantages on the Eastern and Western Fronts. We just forced the Kaiser to accept our conditions and establish a parliamentary government so that the parliament, the representative body of the people, is no longer Someone's tool. It's a perfectly just cause," Knowles said.
"So, our navy and army have spent so much effort, with millions of casualties, our army is fighting on all fronts, and you are far away from war, well-dressed, enjoying special rations, talking loudly in parliament every day, even If the guy who has begun to consider distributing the loot is justice, then what are we?" Admiral Scheer was already disgusted by the so-called "justice".
Admiral Scheer does not deny the disadvantages of the Junkers in power, nor does he deny that the parliamentary system has injected fresh blood into the German government. However, as a soldier, he hated the fact that a group of people hiding behind stabbed him behind him when he was fighting on the front line! Even if it was the army that stabbed it! If we say before, Admiral Scheer thinks that the Social Democratic Party is at most a strike or a demonstration, but now, I am afraid that the Social Democratic Party is really planning to use force! Reminiscent of the previous transfer of the General Staff, which was called Liao Zhai....
"Ma Dan, you are just uniting a group of nobles to overthrow the Kaiser and another group of people. What are you pretending to be noble? What are you talking about justice?" Admiral Scheer believed that Knowles and the Social Democrats behind him were already in the army. They found an ally in the middle, otherwise, they would not dare to move! After all, inciting riots in times of war is treason! No matter who it is, once it is charged with this crime, it will really be dead! Therefore, combined with the previous events, Scheer has almost estimated the situation!
"I'm a soldier, and I don't care about politics. Right now, the internal affairs of the navy are very busy. I only have one request. The empire must not be defeated." He said he had reported it. After all, he had no evidence. Knowles would never admit what he said when he went out. The so-called empty words are nothing to do. And looking at the outside now, there are many differences within the navy, and there are many supporters and sympathizers of Knowles among them. If this really gets bigger, the German High Seas Fleet may have to fight first!
As for this battle, Scheer is really not optimistic at the moment, not to say that the officers and soldiers of the High Seas Fleet and the armed personnel assigned to the navy can't do anything against those at the land base. With Scheer and Hipper's prestige in the fleet and the resources the fleet possesses, it is not a big problem to win, but if the blood of the real killing is like a river, then the British can only benefit in the end! Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he is unwilling to directly use violence to solve the internal problems of the navy.
And if peaceful means are used to solve the problem, it will take time to work slowly, and foreign aid will also be needed! That's right, foreign aid is needed. As a soldier, when he realizes that certain problems must be solved, he will use all methods to solve them!
In a very short period of time, Scheer has defined Knowles as half an enemy, and the first thing he wants to do now is to allow himself to control the entire navy at a critical moment. As for the next step? That depends!
"My fleet will stay in the port for two weeks, and then the entire High Seas Fleet will enter the Baltic Sea for a long military exercise." Scheer said after thinking for a while. Everyone is a veteran, and no one will easily trust their opponents. Scheer does not trust Knowles, and Knowles will not trust Scheer.
"The fleet is going to sail for training? In this case?" Knowles said, frowning.
"Yes, under such circumstances, even if the Kaiser has reduced our supplies, the combat training that should be carried out still needs to be carried out. I will submit this report to the Ministry of the Navy and the General Staff." Scheer said.
"Hehe, it seems that Scheer really intends to stay out of it." Knowles said in his heart after thinking for a while. Scheer is going to lead the entire fleet to leave the port for training. This is a big event, and the General Staff will definitely know. Through the inside line, Knowles can easily judge whether what Scheer said is true or false.
After the fleet goes out, information exchange will definitely be difficult. What's more, the Social Democratic Party's power in the German Navy is mainly based on port personnel. If something breaks out, the German High Seas Fleet in the Baltic Sea will definitely not be able to respond immediately. Therefore, In Knowles' view, Scheer decided to lead the fleet out after knowing his purpose, which means that he is more inclined to remain neutral. And this result is acceptable to me, because if the navy does not help each other, it will be difficult for Mackensen's troops to come back in time, and if they can't come back, the troops loyal to the Kaiser on the Eastern Front can be temporarily eliminated!
"Admiral, leading the fleet to sail is probably a wise choice. I fully understand your feelings, and I don't expect you to get involved in this matter too much. What I want to say is that if you can lead the fleet to the Baltic Sea for training If so, then everything we talked about before is still valid." Knowles said after thinking for a while.
"If there is nothing else, then our conversation will end here? I'm a little tired." Admiral Scheer directly issued an order to evict the guest.
"I know that you will be very disgusted with such things, but many things in this world will not be diverted from our will. You have made the right choice, and I am looking forward to our next meeting." Noel S said with a smile.
