Chapter 2345: Generals After the War One

"I didn't expect that after retiring, the crown prince of Bavaria would be the one who remembered me among the high-level officials." Once served as the commander of the German Third Army on the Western Front, Pinov, a retired soldier, was on the way to the crown prince's official residence in Berlin. Said with some emotion.

Pinov was miserable, really miserable. According to the final agreement, the Crook Group Army, the House Group Army, and the Third Army under the command of Pinov were finally assigned to the Prussian Federation. However, as a die-hard supporter of the Kaiser during the war, he was assigned to the parliamentary faction after the war. Can this be a good fruit for him? But there was no way, after all, this division was based on the origin of the army personnel, and Pinov's hometown happened to be within the control of the parliament. So, after the war ended, Pinov decisively became the first batch of retired personnel...  

Of course, although Pinov and the parliament faction are hostile in terms of political views, the parliament faction will not go to trouble with a retired army general at this time. One is that it is unnecessary, and the other is that it may cause fierce backlash, so Pinov can only go home and become a rich man. He is also very aware that his identity and status are embarrassing, so he is honest. It's just that I happened to be living in Berlin recently, so I was invited here.

"It's Kruck and Howson who know how to behave." Thinking of the two former colleagues who were also invited this time, Pinov couldn't help sighing that people are deader than people! Admirals Crook and Howson were almost neutral in the turmoil. The parliamentary party is not very hostile to the two, and now the army really needs veterans to sit in command, so they can't be assigned to the three army groups and their commanders sent by the parliamentary party. The parliamentary party will be replaced at once, right? After all, what the parliamentary faction lacks most is military talents. The only one in the core group who has served as a soldier is just a colonel. Forget it when facing a group of generals. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the army, the parliamentary faction only replaced Pinov, and the other two were still serving in the army. If nothing else happened, if these two guys survived, before retiring, they could still be honorary marshals? Thinking of this, Pinov became even more depressed.

In the end, the car of the three people did not drive directly to Ruprecht's mansion. Outside the door, Pinov and two other colleagues met. The three got out of the car and came to a restaurant. Sit down in your room, it is 1 pm now, minus half an hour to the Crown Prince's mansion, and minus a quarter of an hour in advance, there is still 1 hour and 45 minutes to talk. Thinking on their knees, they all knew that there must be something for Ruprecht to invite them at this time. And 80% will be linked to the issue of compensation that is now raging.

"To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in these things anymore." After seeing the two colleagues, Pinov said a little depressed. I'm retired, and I'm still involved in this matter, but can he not go? People invite you to save face. If Wilhelm II invited Pinov before the war, if Pinov dared not go, believe it or not, the Kaiser would beat you with a cane? This is true. In history, the Kaiser really played those veterans like a prank! And now, even though Ruprecht has a much better temper, if you ruin other people's face, even if Ruprecht doesn't care about it, the Kingdom of Bavaria might care about it, right?

"Hehe, what are you afraid of after retiring, old fellow? Isn't it just to attend a banquet?" Crook looked at his former colleagues and said, the haggard face on his face could not be concealed no matter what. Pinov was depressed because of his retirement, while Crook and others were exhausted because of their service.

Now, a series of issues such as the retiring and placement of soldiers, the construction of the army and the transfer of personnel are all on his head. Please, Crook was a front-line officer before, and he has never been a minister of war or chief of staff. Taking into account the official position of administration. But at this time, some of the people who used it well before him left directly.

This made Crook's difficulty in doing things soaring. He is really tired now, even more tired than fighting in the past.

"It's okay, old man. If there is something to do, we will do it. What are you afraid of now that you are unofficial? Crown Prince Ruprecht will not make things difficult for you." Admiral Howson, who was also haggard, also said. "Okay, let's get down to business. If there are no accidents, His Highness should be attacking the parliament this time." Among the commanders of the German Army on the Western Front, General Howson's political acumen is still very high. He will not do anything less politically related.

"Well, it makes sense, after all, we are all members of the Prussian Federation now." Pinov said. "But what does this have to do with me? I'm a retired soldier now!"

"This is also where I suspect. If you invite General Crook and me, I can understand the behavior of the Kingdom of Bavaria, but I really can't understand it if you bring you." Admiral Howson said something heart-wrenching ah!

But it’s heartbreaking, but the truth is right. As soldiers, they all know that some key things must be kept secret, and letting anyone who has nothing to do with them know may be fatal. If Ruprecht If they really talked about certain things this time, let’s not talk about whether Crook and General Howson agree, Pinov has no reason to attend the meeting! What can he do? He has retired and has no official position. Is it really good to let him, a person who has nothing to do with him, participate in this kind of meeting? Aren't you afraid of leaking secrets?

"Maybe, that crown prince just wanted to treat us to dinner today?" Pinov said with self-deprecation.

"It shouldn't be something too sensitive, or it doesn't matter if it is exposed." Crook said: "But no matter what, we must keep in mind two points. First, we are soldiers. We can be dissatisfied with the government. But it cannot be shown by violent means. Second, we are Germans, and what we do must be in the interests of the empire. Whether it is the Kaiser or Bavaria or anyone else, if their demands and actions endanger the empire, we must be firmly resisted.”

Crook set the tone for this meeting. After receiving the invitation from the crown prince, his first reaction was that the crown prince might persuade them to put pressure on the parliamentarians. Crook himself resisted this possibility. He can fight against Herbert and others for the benefit of the army, but he will never be used as a weapon for Bavaria. Not to mention that his actions would further deteriorate the already complicated internal situation of the empire.

"Agreed." Admiral Howson's answer was very simple.

"Me? Agree." Pinov was the most open.
