"I personally don't know the situation on the Eastern Front, so I decided to abstain."

The prince looked at everyone on the opposite side and thought silently in his heart.&1t;/p>" />

1259 Standing in line and fighting in the dark 1

"I object to this kind of vote, especially during the voting process, some people who don't understand the Eastern Front participated, and they are completely blindly commanding." Markenson, who had not spoken, first expressed his support for the prince.&1t;/p>

"I personally don't know the situation on the Eastern Front, so I decided to abstain." Duke Albrecht, who also sat on the left, represented the Kingdom of Württemberg and commanded an army, then said that he did not stand clearly on the side of the prince, but this abstention attitude itself was equivalent to reducing the influence of the German General Staff on the Western Front.&1t;/p>

"It is wrong for some people to force their plans by borrowing the name of the General Staff without consultation. Now, it is even more wrong to force the plan when the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front thinks it is inappropriate." Prince Saxony also made a similar statement.&1t;/p>

"Especially, the person who is promoting this statement is still a commander of the army on the Western Front. He is neither the core member of the General Staff nor has he been on the Eastern Front. I really want to know now that this is an unintentional act of some people, or is there another arrangement?" The prince looked at Hindenburg with jokes. After all, in this plane, Hindenburg's status is far less than that of history, and there is no great victory in Tannenburg. Without the subsequent record on the Eastern Front, Hindenburg is still just a commander of the army. He is at most attending meetings. It is enough to give you face to speak. Do you still want to push the General Staff to force vote? What do you think?&1t;/p>

"Hindenburg should have received support or hint from some people. It may be Fachingham, Kruger, or even Moltke. They want the Bavarian Legion to bear additional obligations and even want to force the pressure through forced voting, but now there is no certainty of winning, so I will launch one person to test it." The prince looked at everyone on the opposite side and thought silently in his heart.&1t;/p>

"First, the Bavarian Legion deployed in Romania will be sent to Bulgaria, and then a limited offensive will be launched to obtain a better strategic situation. After the Battle of Poland begins, you go north and we will use the troops on the Western Front to fill this loophole?" Xiao Maoqi thought for a while and said in a more gentle tone.&1t;/p>

"Do you think I'm stupid?" The prince didn't say it, but that's what he meant in his eyes... Now let's take over, and then you will take over? Holding the grass and cheating the fool?!&1t;/p>

This matter is probably going to change. What if there are not enough reinforcements or the reinforcements are temporarily moved to another place? For example, you suddenly plan to cause trouble on the Western Front, and then the Bavarian army in the Balkans will be cheated? This is not a problem of one division and two divisions. Greece is also a country, and Serbia is also a strong regional force. Markensen also brought 9 divisions to deal with Serbia, and the time spent is still calculated in months... Even if the Bavarian army is stronger, it will still draw 6 complete divisions, which are about 10,000 troops...&1t;/p>

"Let's go on for the time being." The German Emperor interrupted the dispute and said very simply. Ma Dan, the situation is obviously impossible to unify the opinions. The Prussian generals on the Eastern Front did not say a word. They obviously supported the prince's opinion and were in conflict with the Western Front officers of the General Staff. Among the generals on the Western Front, Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg and Prince Saxony were also ambiguous, because they could feel that this was the Prussian faction in the General Staff was ready to gain military dominance.&1t;/p>

At this time, if Bavaria could not withstand it, then Saxony and Württemberg would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, at least they would not support the General Staff for forced votes, and they would not even have to stand on the side of the prince. As long as they abstain, the remaining Prussian officers on the Western Front would definitely not be able to defeat the Bavarian army on the Eastern Front and the Prussian officers on the Eastern Front... What a situation of grip and pain!&1t;/p>

However, in the German Emperor's opinion, this situation seems to be good! Because it reflects political correctness. Indeed, the existence of the army forces of the three kingdoms made Prussia unhappy, but if the external kingdom was weak and the Junker nobles within Prussia were strong, it would also make the German Emperor uncomfortable. Only when the two sides maintain a balance of power and can do their own things well, and when the German Emperor is required to be the arbitrator, the German Emperor's rights and prestige are the most stable!&1t;/p>

"I don't know why, the Chief of General Staff is unwilling to use the power of the General Staff to force Bavaria to accept our plan, and His Majesty the Emperor seems to be very indulging in the group of southern guys." After the meeting, Hindenburg came to the house of General Hellingen, the former Minister of Prussian War, and said angrily.&1t;/p>

"What do you think of the Bavarian prince?" General Hellingen did not answer Hindenburg's words, but asked directly.&1t;/p>

"I can't see through a person who is very capable but ambitious, but I can't see through his ideas, but he is definitely different from his father and grandfather. He is not a person who is content with the status quo. He always wants to make a breakthrough, not only in the German system, but also in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. King Fritz never decided to succeed, I think there is something wrong with this." Hindenburg said.&1t;/p>

"You are more like discussing this issue from the perspective of the Chief of Staff of the Prussian General Staff, rather than from the perspective of a commander of the army." General Hellingen said with a serious expression. "Don't let others know your point of view, otherwise, no one can help you with just a suitable opportunity."&1t;/p>

"Does His Majesty the Emperor ignore the semi-independence of the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Hindenburg said it was difficult to understand.&1t;/p>

"His Majesty the Emperor does not fully trust the General Staff. If you want to say something, you do not have absolute trust in the Junke nobles. Compared with the Junke nobles' control of the army, His Majesty the Emperor feels that his rights are not stable. He wants to play a balance, but it happens that Bavaria has another amazing heir. They all have ambitions and hope to change the world and change the empire. So they hit it off, and because they are very rational, they form a tacit understanding."&1t;/p>

General Helingen, who once served as the Minister of the Prussian War, naturally knew some of the tricks and filthiness of the senior management. Although it could not be explained publicly, it was an indisputable fact that the Junker nobles had mastered the grassroots regime and army of the Prussian Kingdom. This made the German Emperor very dissatisfied and even uneasy. Therefore, before, the German Emperor tolerated the expansion of the Bavarian legion to force the Prussian General Staff to concessions in the military organization and use the Bavarian military industry to inversely stimulate the progress of military factories such as Krupp and Rheinmetallurgical.&1t;/p>
