1496 Conflict for interests 2

Such a thing would never be an isolated incident in his own control area. The prince believed that the political situation in Germany, especially in Prussia, may have changed. On the one hand, it is naturally because of the rapid progress of the Allied Legions on the Eastern Front, which allowed everyone to see the dawn of victory. They could not wait to pick up the knife and fork and prepare to divide some interests. On the other hand, it may be that the German Emperor took action...

The prince has not yet received the exact news about this, but, based on Ruprecht's understanding of William II, this guy who likes to play some tricks, after getting the news that he is about to provide help, he is not William II. He must be trying every means to consolidate his rights and control over the parliament, which must be true! As for how to do it, the prince still needs time to collect information.

"Mao Dan, you can't make a big news at this time!" His Highness muttered in his heart. The prince wanted to make trouble, but the premise for Ruprecht to do something was that foreign troubles had been almost done, so he would not kill himself. But just Prussian guys...... Let's not talk about it, the Social Democratic centrists and rightists held large-scale strikes in Berlin, Hamburg and other areas two days ago, demanding the abolition of the third-level elections and requiring the Prime Minister to be responsible for the Parliament...

To be honest, the prince always believed that the German government's control over the big bourgeoisie was not strong, and it was quite reasonable in one battle, at least it could be considered honest production. In the second battle, Germany's national control ability was simply garbage! The efficiency was the second most among the major participating countries! Military production can be described as chaos! The government was completely infiltrated into a sieve by capitalists. The prince's opinion on such teammates was also clear! Those who could be defeated and those who were unsatisfied! Now in the national war, these political parties can still do these things. Isn't it too much to put treason on the crime?

Prince Leopold also sent some war reports on the Northern Line, which naturally involved the battle between the Markensen Legion and the Russian Baltic garrison. Overall, after some troops were transferred to the west, Markensen's legion's strength remained at around 350,000 to 400,000, while the Russians' forces in this direction were about 600,000. Therefore, the overall situation was that Markensen had more than enough defense, but lacked offensive capabilities. The two sides had been engaged in tug-of-war, and the German army was advancing very slowly, but the pressure on the Russians was not small!

Now, with the help of the German High Seas Fleet, Markensen has reached Tallinn, but in the final siege stage, the two sides fought very stalemate. Markensen has surrounded at least 100,000 Russian troops and paramilitary units. However, in the ruins of the city, the Russians' resistance is very tenacious. Even though they have lost most of their foreign aid, they are still struggling to resist in streets, barricades, and even ruins.

Such resistance is not worthless. Just when Markensen was sieging the city, the Russians mobilized troops from Ukraine and the Transcaucasus and established a new line of defense with the original troops. At the same time, Germany and Finland also began to contact. Germany expressed their willingness to support Finland's independence and provide supplies and weapons, but the premise was that they had to participate in the war against Russia. The plan was currently going smoothly. So far, Markensen still hopes that his troops could enter St. Petersburg this year!

Judging from the news sent by the German Emperor, someone has returned to his motherland and started his work. The work is progressing smoothly, and the dissatisfaction in Russia is increasing rapidly. Fortunately, the supplies obtained by Russian civilians can barely ensure their lives. If the war is delayed until winter, Russia may not be able to hold on, right? The prince said in his heart.

"Actually, if possible, I hope that Markensen's offensive will not be too aggressive. The attack target can be adjusted and shifted from St. Petersburg to other regions." The prince raised his pen and wrote on a letter. On the eve of Russia's collapse, the prince believed that there was no need to put too much pressure on it. The troops should move towards Belarus and occupy more territory, rather than be entangled in occupying the capital, because the attack on the latter will make the Russians' resistance surprisingly fierce. This is not a good thing for Germany. Relatively speaking, it is more important to occupy more territory and prepare for future negotiations.

After roughly understanding the situation on the entire Eastern Front, the prince began to adjust his deployment. Since the situation in the Balkans has been greatly alleviated due to the surprise attack of the Spee fleet, in a short period of time, we will continue to concentrate a large number of troops here, especially the air force, which has become inappropriate. After all, the prince’s attitude towards the Allies is not completely based on the enemy beyond Asia Minor. It is never as good as a timely help. The prince needs Britain and France to board the land of Asia Minor. Only in this way can Turkey realize the importance of Germany, so we must create this "opportunity" for Britain and France!

It is predictable that the Russian Army seems to be planning to launch another large-scale attack in southern Ukraine. This may be the last large-scale attack of the Russians in the Ukrainian region. If this can hit the opponent hard in the field, then it is probably that the attack will be quite smooth whether it is to march into Donetsk or to go further away - the lower Volga River. The reason is very simple, the Russians have no soldiers.

Therefore, the prince planned to mobilize some troops from the Balkans and replenish most of the newly added equipment to Prince Leopold. His mission was to take advantage of the situation to cross the Dnieper River when Russia launched an attack on the Hungarian army in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River, the Bavarian army in the north could take advantage of the situation to force the Dnieper River and then quickly move south along the confluence, and carry out a large-scale confluence!

As for how to fight after this battle? Is it necessary to say? I pushed it directly. In order to ensure the speed of advancement, at the right time, Ruprecht would ask the army and the Allied Mediterranean fleet to cooperate with each other to land on the coast of Ukraine and the Caucasus. If possible, after Russia falls into civil unrest, see if it can take down Sevastopol at a lower cost and remove the last nail. In this way, a large amount of supplies and troops can be transported by sea, the logistics pressure will be reduced a lot, and the speed of advance will be increased a lot. The prince's purpose is to occupy Baku this year!
