Chapter 2355: The Night Before the Storm One

"But unfortunately, given the physical condition of the two generals, they may not be able to work with us for too long. General Pinov's influence is limited, and he has a prejudice against us." Earl Schelling said. Admiral Crook himself is old and injured, and his physical condition is indeed not good.

"Someone will make it up." The crown prince said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Buller is here." Not long after Crook returned to his mansion, a guard who had followed him on the Western Front for two years reported to him, although the war was over. , although he is no longer the commander of the First Army Group on the Western Front of the German Empire, but this little guy of his own is still used to calling him Your Excellency Commander, and this title also allows Crook to recall his glorious days on the Western Front. Years and experience of blood and fire.

"Okay, let him wait in the living room." Crook thought for a while and said. For Buhler, Crook didn't have a good impression at the beginning. After all, Buhler was a colonel in the German army. During the civil strife in Germany, he was the one who served as the military side of the parliamentary faction and fought against Moltke. One point, Crook was definitely not friendly to him, and the first few talks often ended badly.

But with the deepening of exchanges, Mr. Buhler, who is currently serving as a liaison between the parliamentary faction and the military, really intends to do some practical things. He is also really concerned about the placement of military personnel. It can be considered as trying his best, so Crook's attitude towards Buhler began to change. However, the communication between the two parties is limited to work, and there are very few personal contacts. Like this time, when Buhler took the initiative to come to the door, it was the first time!

"Mr. Buhler, it is not a good thing for you and me to come to my private house on your rest day. If possible, I hope that the communication between us will only stay at work and in the office." After meeting Buhler After Le, Crook said. Obviously, Crook does not want to have too many personal interactions with Buller. Even if the latter works well with him.

"There is one very important thing I need to tell you in advance. You and the military must be prepared." Buller didn't care about Crook's attitude, but directly explained his intentions: "Five days later, The state government will pass a resolution that they will further cut military spending, I calculated that if the army is to function normally, the number of people must be reduced by about 120,000 in a week. You have to take into account the personnel Placement issues."

"Are you kidding me? Resettle 120,000 people within a week? Do they think that resettlement means driving officers and soldiers out of the barracks? Because of funding problems, each of our previous resettlements failed to meet the expected plan. They always criticize us for doing things It is inefficient, but I will never let my soldiers enter the society without guarantee of life! This is an insult and mutilation to those soldiers who fought for the empire!" Admiral Crook's words were full of anger.

"It's impossible." Crook emphasized again.

"This resolution will definitely be passed. The state cabinet has made a decision, and the state parliament will pass it. It is completely legal from a legal point of view. I have considered the difficulties of the army, so I ask the parliamentary government to pay in advance for the next Quarterly military veterans deposit." Buhler said with a sad face.

"They're not willing to pay?" Crook frowned and said.

"Mr. Hussey agreed, but Mr. Abbott asked for part of the security deposit to be paid in the form of food and supplies," Buller said.

"Pay in the form of materials? Ha ha." Crook sneered. The tricky Crook naturally knows that the so-called material payment is just to deal with the surplus war materials of the army and the government.

For example, canned food, various rusks, and dried vegetables. These things are definitely not as real as Mark who got them directly. This approach is good for the government because they get rid of the surplus and save money, and it's good for the capitalists because the government helps them get rid of their stocks. The only ones who suffer are those officers and soldiers waiting to be resettled. For this kind of behavior, Crook naturally hated it!

"Your Excellency, we must be prepared. Even if everything is implemented without problems, we are just using tomorrow's resources to make up for today's shortfall. If possible, I hope you can worry about the work of soldiers. Once hundreds of thousands of people go to society with resentment, it is definitely a very unstable factor. I will find a way to get some funds." Buhler said.

"First of all, Mr. Buhler, I am very grateful. You took the risk to inform me of this matter. On behalf of all the soldiers who fought for the German Empire, I thank you for your concern and dedication."

"Secondly, if possible, I hope that you will resign from all military-related duties before this resolution is issued. This is for your own good." After a full three minutes of silence, Admiral Crook said very sincerely to Buhler. Any government will not allow internal personnel to communicate with relevant parties before a major resolution is issued, and it is at a very sensitive moment in the internal politics of the German Empire. Therefore, it is really necessary for Buhler to do this kind of thing courage. In this regard, Crook is very respectful.

"General, I don't understand what you mean. Overly violent actions at this time will only cause chaos within the empire." Buhler heard some deep meaning in Crook's words. Obviously, this time the military is preparing to launch a counterattack, and it is a very violent counterattack! And Buhler believes that the army has this power, because the foundation of the parliamentary faction is not solid, and because the army has just ended the war, the old generals still have an overwhelming advantage in controlling military power.

"General, I hope you can calm down. If you insist on your opinion, then I may inform you when necessary. The empire has finally stabilized. From the overall situation, we must not experience another turmoil ’” Buller warned.

"Inform me? Then throw me in jail? Then you guys need to move faster because you have too many people to catch. And, how do you need to make charges? What did I do? Just because of what I said ?” Crook said with a smile.

Crook dismissed Buhler's warning. After all, even if the parliament faction could take him down, how could it be possible to cleanse the entire army? And at this time, if the parliament faction acts rashly, the result will definitely be a more violent counterattack from the army!
