Chapter 822 The End

"We are fighting on the Western Front, and the Kaiser will not miss our benefits. So on the Eastern Front, why does His Majesty Fritz think he can avoid this problem?" the prince asked.

"Hold the grass!" Conrad still overestimated the prince's integrity, or did he think that the Habsburg royal family's signature was too useful? It was obvious that the prince planned to make a deal before talking. Faced with this situation, don't say that he can't do anything, even the Austrian Emperor can't do anything! "I can't answer this question for you, His Royal Highness." Conrad was completely speechless. "You need to go to Vienna to discuss this." "No interest. I always thought that the failure of this battle would make His Majesty the Austrian Emperor realize the reality, but it seems that he has not yet. In my plan, Russia Poland will become a territory of the Allied Powers this year, but how it is divided between Germany and Austria will be a very interesting thing, isn't it?" The prince seemed to be talking to himself or to someone. "Okay, I'm very busy. If it's some minor issues, you can discuss it with my chief of general staff."The purpose of Conrad's personal visit to the prince is to ask the prince to station some troops To help the Russian defense in Galicia, we must at least hold on to the emerging salient. But now it seems that the prince would rather give up the acquired territory than disperse his troops. Conrad's plan had already failed, and he could also analyze from the prince's words that the Bavarian Army would not cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Army in a short time. This result was a bit bad for Conrad, but now in Between battles, it seems there is still time to convince the prince? "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rejected our suggestion. Their next attack will be in East Prussia." After Conrad returned, he immediately reported the matter to Emperor Fritz. "We must do something to change the relationship between the two parties. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer just the commander of the Bavarian Army. At the same time, he will also be the commander of Germany on the Eastern Front in the future." "Something needs to be done. Changed." As a military strategist, Conrad didn't quite understand the subtext of the prince's words, but as an emperor who had been in charge of the empire for decades, how could Fritz not know what Ruprecht was talking about? Woolen cloth? Russian Poland is a big fat piece of meat. Both Germany and Austria-Hungary want to eat it, but who eats how much needs to be discussed. Although there will be some concessions between the two sides, overall it is still Whoever beats him down is in charge! What you can’t get on the battlefield, you can’t get at the negotiation table. And why did the Austro-Hungarian Empire pay a huge price to "hire" the Bavarian Legion? Isn't it just for profit? "We still have time, don't we?" Emperor Ao said to himself. "I hope that our army can take over the salient that is currently being formed, and we can make some concessions for personnel replenishment and material deployment." Just when the Austrian emperor was preparing to further re-coordinate the relationship between the two parties, the prince I finally met my wife in Prague. After rejecting the others, the two began to discuss other matters. "Ruprecht, in fact, if possible, I hope that the Bavarian Army can launch an attack in Galicia instead of East Prussia. After all, whether it is in the Vienna court or in the army on the front line, the tendency is Our forces are all dominant." Princess Mary said. "Looking at the situation, you do have an advantage, but until His Majesty the Emperor makes an announcement, everything is still subject to change, and don't just limit your horizons to the court and front lines in Vienna. These are not big threats. Compared with these politicians, I think the tendency of separatism within the Austro-Hungarian Empire is even more terrifying. Once a problem occurs and the Bavarian Army does not have enough power to suppress it, the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire will eventually fall apart.

"

"This war is far more difficult than we imagined. Therefore, we must preserve our core strength as much as possible in order to cope with internal and external blows. If we can obtain the same results at a smaller cost If so, why don't we cooperate with the more reliable Mackensen? ”In the prince’s view, his wife’s ambitions are still a bit too big. Although the prince’s presence has made the battlefield situation much better, the Habsburg royal family’s control over the empire is really bad, and society will also suffer due to the protracted into turmoil due to the war, various nominal separatist organizations, and even the army may defect. At this time, what can the prince rely on? Only the legion in his own hands! What's more, from a military point of view, Mackensen is indeed It is more reliable than the Austro-Hungarian army. For the same two teammates, it is naturally impossible to choose pig teammates. "It is impossible to completely occupy Russian Poland in this battle. This time, William can only get the northern part near Prussia." Part of it, and the southern part will belong to the Austro-Hungarian Empire after our inheritance. In addition, I would like to remind you not to think that the overall situation is settled. There are still too many political variables, and Hungary may not like a strong Habsburg heir. . "The prince said. Taking a step back, even if there are no problems within the Kingdom of Austria, Hungary, as a unit of the dual empire, absolutely does not want Princess Mary to succeed. Because Princess Mary can also obtain the throne besides Austria. With the support of Bavaria, Hungary's domestic status will inevitably be suppressed. Therefore, Vienna may want a strong heir, but Budapest may not want it. So they may support Karl. "We must overcome the difficulties. If you think about it more, the Austrians are leaning towards us, but what is the attitude of the Hungarians, Magyars, and Slavs? It is not good to be too bold at this time. During the war, what we need is stability, not only political stability, but also military stability. The Czechs are not that reliable. Our most solid base is Bavaria, and for For a kingdom with only 13 million people, our human resources are very limited. So I decided to launch an offensive in East Prussia. "The prince finally explained. "Then if, one day, Hungary wants to break away from the empire, will you help me? "Princess Mary asked."If I and my legion still have strength and Austria can be stable, I will consider it. "The prince gave an ambiguous answer, because the prince didn't know how much power he would have in his hands when the internal conflicts in the Austro-Hungarian Empire broke out! If that time comes, although it will be impossible to keep the entire Hungary in the empire, , but there is still a chance to get more "family property" when the family is divided!The second update~~~!
