"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Ruprecht just sent yesterday. In the telegram, he explained in detail the strategy that the Bavarian Legion will adopt, and said that the defeat of the Hungarian Legion is not important to the overall situation. On the contrary, under his command, the Bavarian Legion and the Austrians can take advantage of the opportunity of the Russian Legion's elite to completely capture the entire Ukraine." said Markens, who had not spoken on the side.

"In the plan of Crown Prince Ruprecht, he decided not to reinforce the Hungarian army for the time being, but to target the attack target as the rear position of the Russian army. In the northern line, Prince Leopold's troops will launch a battle aimed at breaking through the Dnieper River soon, and after the breakthrough, the Balkan front, commanded by the prince, will directly break through the Azores Strait with the cooperation of Earl Spee, land in the southwest of Donetsk, and then launch an attack, and then completely resolve this important Russian industrial base." Little Moltke paused and continued.

"If this plan can be realized, then the Russian army in the entire Ukrainian region will now be in a catastrophe, their rear will fall, unable to obtain enough food and supplies, and without reinforcements, even if their offensive is good, it will not have any effect. In the end, it will be just a reappearance of the Polish Pocket Battle."

"But the Hungarian Legion is over like this?! Didn't Ruprecht always take good care of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Didn't he just watch the main force of a kingdom's army be defeated?" William II pointed to Ukraine on the map and said loudly: "Why, they did not land on the west side of the Dnieper River, but chose the east side?! He intended to destroy the Hungarian Legion!"

"Your Majesty, landing from the east is more beneficial to the situation of the war. We are attacking the Russians' most fragile abdomen, and there is no need to face their fists directly." The little Moltke on the side could not stand it anymore. He could feel that Prussia and Bavaria had some differences in dealing with Grand Duke Carl and the Hungarian Legion. He could also think that the German Emperor had tampered with it. However, the current situation exists objectively. It is the most efficient way to avoid the Russians' attacks directly. If it were him, he would do this!

For other generals, they thought less than the little Mao Qi, who was the chief of staff. As long as they did not draw troops from them, they could solve the Eastern Front problem, it would be better. As for how to solve it, what is the price? They really didn't care at all!

So, invisibly, William II, his marshals and generals also formed an analysis on this issue. The starting point of both sides' considerations was different. William II thought about how to protect the Hungarian Legion and Grand Duke Carl, while the latter thought that no matter what, as long as he could get the Russians down. The two sides' thinking was not on the same line at all!

"If Crown Prince Ruprecht can guarantee that this plan can be implemented, then it is acceptable to have a severe blow to the Hungarian Legion at the cost. And in fact, as a European country with an area of ​​more than 200,000 square kilometers, Hungary's troops are far more than this. According to my understanding, the Hungarians deployed the main force composed of their own nation in Romania to suppress local resistance. In the absence of clarity in the war, this approach is obviously inappropriate." Kruger, who served as the commander-in-chief of the First Army Group, almost said that the Hungarians were responsible for their own fault!

"As a comrade-in-arms fighting under a banner, does Austria have no indication of the Hungarian Legion's defeat?" William II asked.

"How to say this, the Hungarians were defeated too quickly. In less than 10 days, the retreat of the Hungarian Legion added a 230-kilometer front to the Austrian Legion located in the north. The Austrian Legion is doing its best to ensure the safety of its flanks, while the Bavarian and Bohemia are preparing the prince's plan, so there is not much dynamic." Xiao Moltke said.

"So what about the attitude of the Austrian Emperor and the Hungarian government?" The German Emperor continued to ask. He no longer regarded this matter as a military issue, but as a political issue. After all, although he had many dissatisfaction with the prince's actions, he could be sure that Ruprecht was definitely not the kind of person who played with fire and burned himself! He said that if he could stabilize the situation, he would definitely stabilize it!

"The Hungarian Prime Minister has gone to Vienna to meet with the Austrian Emperor. Marshal Conrad, the commander-in-chief of the Austrian Legion, said that he had not received the new order from the Austrian Emperor. Moreover, because Prince Ruprecht is the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, except for the Hungarian Legion, as long as the Austrian Emperor does not issue new orders, everything will be done according to the prince's wishes. And here, I need to make it clear that before the Russians launched an attack, Prince Leopold had issued a warning to the Hungarian Legion and General Sector, so I think His Highness Ruprecht has no responsibility in this battle." said Moltke.

"Damn it! Which side are you standing on?" William II felt so depressed. The so-called stabbing of his own is the most deadly. Once Moltke, as the chief of staff, said this, it means that no matter what, the German Emperor could not hold the prince accountable in the military, because you have no reason and there is no appendix from the General Staff.

However, what surprised the German Emperor was that the attitude of Austria toward this matter was really intriguing. Although the German Emperor knew that there were internal and external closeness within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a binary country. However, if this kind of thing was done so explicitly, would Austria not worry about the Hungarians being disunited? Is this still good during the war?! Even he must try his best to maintain the relationship within the German Empire.

"If it really doesn't work, just wait first? Let's see the situation?" So the German Emperor said in his heart. This time, the Hungarian Prime Minister went to Vienna to meet the Austrian Emperor. At this critical moment, the discussion between the two sides will definitely be the core issue. After the news leaks, the German Emperor will know what the Austrian Emperor is fighting, and what the three kingdoms of Austria, Bavaria and Hungary think!

"No, this is not enough. I have to send a special envoy to the Balkans. I need to know what Ruprecht really wants!" The German Emperor immediately rejected his opinion, so he wanted to find someone with the right status as his special envoy and give him the opportunity in person!
