Chapter 2534: Negotiation One
God, is this what you mean by low status negotiators? Korninov whispered to Denikin when he learned of the representatives of the German and Austrian side.
On the way to the negotiation site, the Germans finally reported the situation of the Russian negotiators. The Bavarian Army General Caliput will serve as the German envoy, and General von Seeckert from Prussia will serve as the deputy envoy! Needless to say, Kaluputt served as the chief of staff of the group army at the beginning of the war, and then became the chief of staff of the Bavarian Army, with a very high status.
And von Seeckt? This person was relatively unfamiliar to Denikin, but Korninov made it clearer, because when the Brusinov offensive was launched, Korninov's unit had exchanged with von Seckert. Hand over, that's right, von Seeckt was the commander of the German army that the Kaiser deliberately pulled out from the Western Front to aid the Hungarians!
These two people are now in very high positions. Caliput is in charge of the military affairs of the entire eastern Bavaria region, while von Seckert has transferred from the Prussian army to the Bavarian Army and served as General Caliput chief of staff. Is it strange? A former Prussian general ended up serving in the Bavarian Army?
This, actually, is unexpected and reasonable. First of all, in terms of relationship, von Seeckt is not liked by the high-level army of the Federal Prussia and the Kingdom of Prussia. Naturally, the former needs no explanation. He will be appreciated by the parliamentary faction, so if it is impossible for him to hold a position in the current parliamentary faction.
Well, he is more politically inclined to the Kaiser, will he be appointed by the Kaiser? From a political point of view, there is no problem, but from the perspective of the relationship within the army, it is not the case. Von Seeckt was related to Falkenhayn, the German infantry general. And Falkenhayn's popularity within the imperial army is relatively poor. First of all, he and Little Mao Qi don't deal with it very much. Secondly, when fighting on the Eastern Front, he was independent of Mackensen's East Prussian Army, and had nothing to do with the high-level German Eastern Front Army. Later, he was assigned to the Bavarian Army and fought in Turkey. That said, von Seeckt wasn't exactly the kind of guy to like.
Little Mao Qi and Mackensen will not cause trouble for von Seckert. It is not possible to force him to retire after the war, but because the number of troops has been greatly reduced, it is obviously inappropriate for him to continue to serve as a front-line leader, so he was given a slack position.
However, von Seckert is naturally unwilling to continue being a salty fish. He always believes that his strengths lie in leading the army and establishing a complete military system, rather than sitting in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers. Therefore, von Seckert, who wants to realize his own value Seckert thought of the Bavarian Legion that he once fought with. So, he began to try to establish contact with Crown Prince Ruprecht through private channels.
As for the "father of the 100,000 National Defense Forces" in history. Ruprecht is still very important, after all, he still has abilities,
Especially in the establishment of a complete military system, as well as a high level of execution. His ability may not be of much use to Bavaria, but it can definitely make him play a role in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After all, except for the Bohemian Army, the quality and ability of the officers of the other armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are somewhat poor. It would be nice to have von Seeckt in charge of them.
Of course, it might be troublesome to just plug him in. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Legion is used to obeying the command of the crown prince, but not the command of the Prussian officer. Moreover, von Seeckert was only an army commander in the end of the war, and the experience of the manager was still limited. Therefore, he was called He was temporarily assigned to General Caliput as chief of staff of the military region.
But this time, the fact that Caliput and von Seeckert personally participated in the negotiation is enough to prove how much the German military attaches importance to the negotiation, which surprised and delighted Denikin and Korninov. , I was surprised because I didn't expect to be able to face such a heavyweight at the beginning, and I was happy because the Germans valued them, of course, maybe they valued the gold they owned!
"On behalf of the Russian Provisional Government, I would like to express my gratitude to your country for your goodwill. I hope that both of us can reach an agreement in this negotiation and fight side by side to deal with the common enemy." At the beginning of the negotiation, Cole Ninov first stated his position - this is an equal negotiation between the two governments. In order to equalize the status of both parties in name! This is what Denikin specifically emphasized before!
"Sorry, our government has not recognized the legitimacy of the Russian provisional government, and even now, we have not recognized any government in Russia. We can represent the German government, but you can only represent your army and the people who follow you, your honor Fang is just a group, a group that needs the help of the German Empire, not the government. The content of our discussion is the help provided to you, and the price you need to pay, not the negotiation between the two countries.” von Secke Te said.
"We have been recognized by all countries in the world, the British, the French and the Americans, they all recognize the legitimacy of our government..." Korninov emphasized.
"But unfortunately, the German government did not admit it. And judging from the current situation, can your so-called government fulfill the rights and obligations of the government? It is squeezed into a corner by the enemy. If it is not afraid of us, I am afraid the opposite side Has the enemy launched a general attack?" Von Seeckt's words were full of sarcasm.
"I hope you don't get entangled in this issue, otherwise our negotiations will definitely break up! Even if the negotiations are successful and your side enters the territory of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Ukraine, you will also enter as refugees , does not represent any government status. This is a premise, a premise that cannot be changed. We can have cooperation and transactions, but if you cannot face up to your own status, then nothing will be possible!" Von Seeckt emphasized.
The Russians struggle with the status of the government in order to obtain equal negotiating status, so why should the German government do this? First of all, the German government has never recognized the legal status of the Russian Provisional Government, so it is naturally impossible for Caliput to make such an opening. And even if he admits it, so what? The German government does not recognize it!
