1500 Undercurrent surging 3

Compared with history, General Erich von Farkingham was very bad. This guy got into the Prussian Minister of War in history and served as the Chief of General Staff. He initiated the famous Battle of Verdun in history. After the final failure, he was drawn to the Eastern Front to serve as the commander of the group. Although the later days were not very good, they were at least glorious.

But in this plane, General Erich von Farkinhan was not so satisfied. Let’s not talk about his first peak in life - the Prussian War Minister. After the war started, he did not become the Chief of Staff. Because with the help and coordination of Prince Ruprecht, Xiao Moltch was very steadily in the position of Chief of Staff. So naturally he would not have anything to do.

What's even more tragic is that this guy had a bad relationship with the Bavarian royal family, but this time he was sent to the Eastern Front again. Farkenham felt that this was the case in his life. After all, the highest commander on the Eastern Front was Prince Ruprecht, and Markens directly commanded the German army in East Prussia. Although Farkenham was treated as the commander of the army when he arrived on the Eastern Front, he worked more under the leadership of Markens.

"Here, I suddenly felt like fighting on the Western Front. The soldiers on both sides were fighting wildly among the ruins, and the artillery was roaring. We had to pay a heavy price for every step forward. We used a small number of troops to attack the outer area of ​​the capital of a European power, while the most powerful legion on the eastern front was conducting an armed parade in Ukraine, thousands of miles away. This was simply incomprehensible." Outside Tallinn, after scanning the city of Tallinn, which was still fighting fiercely in the distance, and putting down the telescope in his hand, General Falkinhan said to Makenson next to him.

"Wars all come at a price, and others cannot deliver what you want to your door automatically." Markonson said with a frown slightly.

"I mean, it might be better if the Bavarian Legion came to attack the tough, they had more heavy weapons and more troops. Now, they threw this hard bone to us. They ran to Ukraine to enclose land. They divided the territory that originally belonged to us with Austro-Hungary." Fakinhan felt that Markens was a little misunderstood, so he said more bluntly.

"I understand it right. I know what you want to say." Markensen naturally knew what Fakingham meant, and what he said just now was not wrong, but Fakingham understood it wrong: "There are some people in the German army and the top leaders who have a good idea. They always want others to do things well and then come up to share the fruits of victory themselves, such as asking the Bavarian Legion to clean up the Russian army outside St. Petersburg, and then let the Prussian Legion capture the city. This idea is understandable, but it is not realistic! No one will make wedding clothes for the other party in vain. Every inch of land under our feet must be obtained with our own saber!"

"But the elite of the Prussian Legion are concentrated on the Western Front, and we have taken most of the pressure from the Allied forces, so we deserve to get most of the benefits of this battle! They are more like a group of speculators!" said Farkinhan.

"However, Bavaria has never intended to occupy most of its interests. Judging from the current occupied areas controlled by Prussia and Bavaria, we are not at a disadvantage. You can't let Bavaria conquer the entire Eastern Front, but we take away all of its interests, right?" Markens asked back.

"If I can, I don't mind doing this. The empire can only have one voice. The weakening of Bavaria is good news for the smooth flow of German government orders, and it is also very important for consolidating Prussia's position in the empire." Farkinhan said without hesitation.

"So, your political tendency is more like a politician than a politician. The former is just about how to divide the largest piece of cake under the current situation. The latter is about how to make the cake bigger so that you can divide more. The weakening of Bavaria is indeed meaningful for the consolidation of Prussian rights, but have you ever thought that if Bavaria is like Saxony and Württemberg, can we still stand here and watch Tallinn make a big talk today?" Markens asked back.

Markenson explained why so far, most of the senior officials of the empire, including the German Emperor, the imperial prime minister, and the chief of staff, have acquiesced to the development and growth of Bavaria, because the latter's growth is also the growth of Germany. If the current Bavarian Legion and the Bohemia Legion account for at least about 30% of the total German Legion in terms of combat effectiveness! It is also because of the strength of Bavaria that Germany faced the two-line dilemma before has been greatly alleviated. If Bavaria weakens, then today's strategic advantage will definitely not exist! And if the war fails, then everyone will be done together!

"From the moment, our cooperation is very good. The Bavarian Legion has provided us with their extra heavy equipment and some heavy artillery troops. I don't want some words to leak into my army that affects the cooperation between the two sides, so please be careful." Markens pointed out to Farkinhan. He would not take the initiative to report the inappropriate remarks of this subordinate, but he would never let it go.

So, the so-called "no speculation" was said, and in the end, General Farkingham was arranged by Markensson to Konesburg, responsible for the logistics supply of the Prussian Legion on the Eastern Front and the army's supplement. It was considered to be half idle. And because of this arrangement, Philips Shederman had the opportunity to contact Farkingham!

As an important figure in the parliament, Shederman naturally could not have gone to Farkingham at the beginning and said, "You don't like Bavaria, I don't like them either, so let's work together to suppress it, that's too low!" Shederman first made some East Prussian groups, such as the East Prussian Lutheran Church and the German Colonial Association, through his own relationship, the former Protestant tendency made them naturally hostile to the Catholic countries of southern Germany, and even held a similar view towards the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He claimed that their existence directly threatened the interests of Protestants.

Needless to say, Prussia had just occupied some areas, and some colonists wanted to obtain land and resources with hope. As one of the heads of the occupied military control, it became natural for them to contact Fakinhan. And when these groups figured out Fakinhan's ideas and routines, it was time for Shademan to take action personally!
