Chapter 1908 Do Your Own Thing
"Fuck, is it true or not?" Albrecht's words surprised everyone. To be honest, Crook and the others were ready to slap their butts and leave. You know, they are now But there is a feeling that people are not human inside and out, almost everyone is at odds with some of the Big Three, and now, when Ruprecht takes over the German military power, he must have reached an agreement with the Kaiser and the Parliament faction. According to the agreement, in the face of huge political interests, will anyone care about the fate of an admiral?
There are many excellent officers in Germany, and Crook and others are very clear that even if they replace themselves, as long as Ruprecht is willing, they can find a replacement, and they can even directly transfer generals from the Bavarian Army. Prince Leopold is a handsome man who can command a strategic direction, even if Caliput and others serve as an army commander, it is more than enough.
And what if you don't change it? Then you must bear a certain amount of political pressure. If your family knows your own affairs, if Crown Prince Ruprecht blocks the knife for him, is it worth it? You know, if at the end of the war, Crook and others are still the commanders of the group army, then the aura of victory in the war is almost equivalent to giving them a golden body, as long as they are not too deadly, whether it is the Kaiser or It is not easy for the parliamentarians to vent their anger on themselves. After all, Crook and others commanded the German army on the front line to win the war!
"Your Majesty Ruprecht's business is a bit of a loss this time." General Howson said meaningfully. After speaking, he relaxed his tense body and leaned back on the chair behind him. When the judgment of fate was pronounced, he was quite nervous.
"General Howson, when you see His Highness the Crown Prince, you can talk to him about this matter, and then listen to his opinion." Grand Duke Albrecht said with a smile. His main task is to appease these people, not to explain to them. That's the business of Crown Prince Ruprecht, he just needs to tell everyone here that things are not that bad for you. Reduce the possibility of the opponent's rampage or disobedience. However, everyone held back their strength and beat the English and French well, um, that's it, no problem!
"Then I can rest assured. At least for the rest of my life, I can bask in the sun quietly in my manor and write memoirs. I am already very satisfied. The result is already very good." Crook said, and Concealedly said that he only needs to be a rich man after the war. After all, Crook was born in 1846, and he is almost 70 now, so he should retire.
If it is someone else's promise, even if it is the Kaiser's promise, Crook and others will have reservations, but Ruprecht's character is excellent, as long as he says you are fine and protects you, he will definitely be able to do it arrive. As long as it is under the protection of this prince, so what if the Kaiser or the parliament faction want to make trouble? The Prussian judicial system has no law enforcement power in Bavaria!
Therefore, after receiving the crown prince's guarantee, Crook and General Howson were relieved, but Pinov and General Hellingen were still a little nervous.
"By the way, General Herlingen, General Pinov, here is a letter written by His Majesty the Kaiser, I hope you can read it when you go back. If you are still loyal to His Majesty, then follow the instructions above. Do." After speaking, the Grand Duke handed the two sealed letters to the two Prussian generals.
"What is written in the letter?" General Herlingen asked.
"I don't know about that. This is the royal seal on it. It can be confirmed that His Majesty wrote it to you personally. In addition, after 9 o'clock tonight, General Moltke will come to the Western Front first. As the Kaiser's representative, he I will discuss some things with you, and if you have any questions, you can communicate with him." Grand Duke Albrecht said.
"It seems that from now on, the officer corps of the German Army is no longer a whole." Crook could not help lamenting after watching the Grand Duke deliver the Kaiser's letter to Herlingen in person. In the past, although Crook and Hellingen had differences on some issues, for example, the latter belonged to the Kaiser faction, and Crook was relatively neutral, but at some critical moments, the two sides could still stand together. For example, when facing Prince Leopold and Little Mao Qi.
But now, the Kaiser only gave letters to Helingen and Pinov and not to himself, which obviously excluded himself, General Howson, and those army commanders who did not attend the meeting. Because Crook represents these people!
"After the war, it seems that my best result is to become a rich man. Even leave Prussia and go to Bavaria to spend the rest of my life." Crook said. And his words caused Helingen's embarrassment. To be honest, although Helingen and Crook had great differences in political views, just a few months ago, Crook visited his own army to help calm down Without the turmoil in the army, Herlingen owed Crook a huge favor forever. The Kaiser is still writing to himself now, which means that Heringen's status after the war is guaranteed, and for Crook, hey, it's fine not to say it!
"Okay, everyone, everyone still has a few days to prepare for your work. Don't worry about your future. Anyone, as long as they don't do anything out of line, will have a good home. The Bavarian Legion and the Austrian Army The heavy artillery units of the Hungarian Empire and at least 1,500 aircraft will fill the entire Western Front. We have a great advantage this time, and we will use iron and fire to rewrite the new world order." Albrecht said.
"How long do we have to prepare this time?" Crook's mentality changed quite quickly.
"It won't be very long. It will start after the reinforcements enter the Western Front, and it will not exceed 5 weeks at most." The Grand Duke said.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete all our efforts in one battle. The British and French winter offensives have also put a lot of pressure on us, and the logistics supply was not smooth a while ago. In addition, so many troops are going to enter the Western Front. It will take a long time to prepare for it," General Howson said.
"Let's talk about the specific situation when His Royal Highness Ruprecht arrives in Brussels. Some things are not purely military issues." Grand Duke Albrecht said. In fact, the Grand Duke already knows that the German army may not enter Paris this time. It is not a matter of strength but a political and diplomatic issue. The land attack is more of a restraint, but facing these veteran army generals, you may not be able to do this Tell me, otherwise, half of the morale will be lost before the fight starts.
