"In addition to using the power within Prussia to suppress the Kingdom of Bavaria, we must seize the time to connect with some people in the army. Without our army, we cannot speak out our ideas loudly in the parliament," said Albert.

"But the top leaders of the army are Junker nobles, and they have already been connected with the German Emperor. In the eyes of Junker nobles, the German Emperor gave them privileges, and it is natural for them to be loyal to the German Emperor. It is difficult for us to change this situation in a short period of time, but as the war continues, the scale of the troops continues to expand, and more and more civilian children have entered the army, and they have also begun to serve as officers. These middle and low-level officers will be our good help." Shederman thought for a while and said.

"Not only them, but also the navy! The proportion of Junker nobles in the German Empire's navy has been further reduced, such as Reinhardt, Schell and Hippel, who are all civilians and can also serve as senior generals. Their headquarters are in Port Kiel. If they can obtain support from the navy, it may play an unexpected role for us." Albert said.

Albert's analysis of the German Army is very reasonable. The army was expanded too quickly during the war, which indeed caused many non-Junke nobles to enter the leadership of the army. Moreover, because of the cruelty of the war, the previous Junke noble officers also suffered heavy losses. In the four-year World War I, 4,500 to 4,800 German noble officers died in battle, which was almost equivalent to one-quarter of the population of the entire German male young and middle-aged nobles! Such population losses were undoubtedly a heavy blow to such a noble class. And because of this, people from other classes have broader channels for the rise in the army!

This does provide the Social Democratic Party led by Albert, which can influence the second-tier troops stationed in the local area, because a considerable number of the latter are from other classes and are relatively close to the Social Democratic Party in terms of attributes. Historically, both the right wing of the Social Democratic Party and the extreme left Spartacus regiment have done some work in this regard.

But what surprised Eberhard was that the navy, whose class attributes were closer to the Social Democratic Party, was not as he imagined. In addition to going out and competing for world colonies, in addition to releasing excess industrial capacity and satisfying nationalism, another very important purpose was to provide other social classes with an ascent, thereby alleviating social conflicts, and to some extent, it can be said that people's lives are more promising...

(The proportion of Junker nobles in the navy is very small, even senior officers. Take a picture of the German organization chart in the Battle of Jutland, and you can find that there are very few officers above the general, with the word Feng. As for General Feng, this guy was added later, and he was not from a noble family. This is why on the eve of the collapse of Germany, the navy was the first to cause trouble, rather than the army that fought to the death with the Allies. Of course, Hippel's order also played an "important role" in the Kiel Sailor uprising.)

The previous derivation process is very correct... However, the final result is very different. If even the Junker nobles in the army still dislike Bavaria and have opinions about the prince, then in the navy, from top to bottom, we will not talk about the Bavarian senses, but we generally admire Prince Ruprecht! It can be said that apart from the German Emperor's administrative orders, the prince's speech is the most effective! And if it is to fight, the German Emperor's speech is not as good as Ruprecht...

This involves very deep issues. First of all, it can be seen from the establishment of the German Navy that the German Emperor is responsible for allowing the parliament to pass the naval construction plan and provide funds. Almost all the tactical and strategic systems of the German Navy were established by Ruprecht. Now all the top naval leaders and a considerable number of middle-level leaders who take the lead have had experience in cooperation with the prince. Whether it was the naval battle outside Dadonggou, the later naval battle against France in Africa, or the series of battles after the outbreak of World War I, Ruprecht used his record to push his position in the navy to the peak!

How to say something like prestige? It is a very mysterious thing. It is invisible and intangible. You say it is not important, sometimes it is true, but if you dare to underestimate it, it will definitely cost you a heavy price! And Ruprecht's majesty in the navy is enough to make him almost completely obey his orders except for treason.

In addition to military achievements, the prince also played a crucial role in helping the navy. To be honest, through his own channels, the prince can get more supplies. While meeting the needs of his own army, the prince did not forget to take care of the navy under appropriate circumstances. After all, he was half of his subordinates. Therefore, after the prince used his prestige to win over middle and high-level officers of the German High Seas Fleet, he used various supplies to capture the belly of middle and lower-level officers and soldiers...

The situation of the German navy in this plane is surprisingly good. Not to mention that there is no need to die, and now the German navy is planning to directly overturn the British fleet at a suitable time! Moreover, the supplies themselves are in place and morale is strong. So they have no reason to rebel. Of course, even if there is really a problem in Germany, they will be more inclined to obey the old boss Ruprecht who is good to them, rather than believe the promises of some politicians.

Of course, Albert can understand the twists and turns, or understandable. If you want to talk about politics and argue in parliament, Albert's skill is almost max, but if you want to talk about military affairs? Let's forget it? Historically, if there was no support from the German military's "Free Legion", Albert's military power would probably not be able to handle even the Spartacus regiment!

So Albert was confused and buried a time bomb for his future failure. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. But I have to say that after Albert set this policy, he did find a group of supporters in the army, including not only other grassroots officers, but also some Junker nobles also chose to cooperate with the Social Democratic Party. And soon set off a trend within the German political arena!

"So do you have a goal to cooperate now?" Shederman asked.

"Of course, General Falkinhan is a good candidate. He is a senior officer and has a great influence in the army. And now, he has been transferred to the Eastern Front and has troops in his hands. Of course, the most important thing is that this person is very unfriendly to Bavaria!" said Albert.
