1717 The Grand Duke and Little Mao Qi 3

"Can we just watch the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Bavarian Kingdom continue to approach, and even threaten the results of the Pakatan-Austria war?" asked Grand Duke Baden.

"Bavaria cannot leave Prussia. If Bavaria makes a splitting move, then the German military will have no choice. However, if there is no definite evidence or the other party has not taken action, then sorry, Grand Duke, the German military will not take the offensive." Little Moltke is equivalent to giving the Baden bus a bottom. That is, you can play politics, and you can also weaken Bavaria through parliament or other means, but don't always think about relying on the German military to force the opponent to surrender, because this threat is too great, and something will happen if you are not careful...

"Hisser Grand Duke, I hope you can seriously consider the balance of the General Staff over the two kingdoms. If we can ease the contradiction with Bavaria, then as long as Ruprecht successfully commands the troops to enter the Western Front, the overall situation will be decided. We can mobilize the troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front and then gain more territory, and have an overwhelming advantage over Bavaria. Now it is not the right choice to force our opponents too much. What's more, these things we have done recently have made the Polish independent forces very active, which is very bad for the empire." Xiao Moltke said at last.

"But what use do you say to me?" asked Grand Duke Baden.

"If I guess correctly, you will be the Austro-Hungarian Empire as the German Emperor's special envoy. Therefore, I hope you can ease the relationship between the two sides, not to intensify the conflicts too much, and at the same time persuade Your Majesty." Xiao Maoqi said sincerely.

"Haha, General, don't you think that as a soldier, your behavior has become a bit overwhelming?" Grand Duke Baden did not agree or object, but instead led the topic in another direction. He wanted to know what the purpose of Moltke doing this was?

"Has it been a traitor?" Xiao Maoqi smiled bitterly. "In this palace, our every move will not avoid His Majesty's eyes and ears. You are Your Majesty's in-laws and the great master of the empire. This matter is nothing to you. Is it for me? At worst, you can go home to take care of your old age."

"I just do something I should do. Even if I am a transgressor, even if I lose my current position and power, I don't regret it. I believe that if this problem can be solved, it would be better for Crown Prince Ruprecht to command the Western Front than me." Little Moltke smiled slightly, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.

Grand Duke Baden suddenly felt that this topic could not be continued. Prince Baden did not doubt the loyalty of Little Moltke. The direct result of this matter was very clear. Little Moltke made an appointment with the Grand Duke of the Empire in public and discussed very sensitive issues. With the German Emperor's belly, he would definitely hold a grudge. It would be perfect to find a reason to replace Little Moltke.

In history, weren’t Moltke, Farkingham, and Tirpitts all directly taken by the German Emperor? So it is still possible for the German Emperor to win a chief of staff in terms of ability and procedure. As Moltke said, the German Emperor would not do anything to him. Not to mention the relationship between them, simply since the founding of the German Empire, the German Emperor has never interfered in the leaders of any country! Because doing so is illegal!

Now the Grand Duke of Baden admires Xiao Moltke a little. Xiao Moltke uses his political life to persuade him to ease the conflict between the two countries, and at the same time uses his political life to give the German Emperor an explanation. The German Emperor's authority must be maintained. If the policy changes, then the German Emperor can also find someone to take the blame. This person is Xiao Moltke. The weight is appropriate, and no one can say anything. Xiao Moltke certainly opposed the German Emperor's opinion, but he used his stepping down to save the German Emperor's face and maintain his dignity. This matter can be considered over.

In fact, if Xiao Moltke considers himself, he will not have anything to do with him in a private situation. So what if the German Emperor knows? There is no handle. And he will not say bad things to the German Emperor. He can deny the meeting between the two. However, this time, in public, Xiao Moltke gave the German Emperor this handle. As a general, he finally sighed with such a result. In fact, Xiao Moltke's starting point and practice were for the German Empire, but the result was that the empire punished the loyal general. Thinking of this, the Grand Duke Baden felt a little uncomfortable.

He was a little moved now. As the top noble of the empire, he knew very well about the various forces within the empire. Although everyone is usually harmonious, how many people are truly loyal to the royal family? Bavaria is an alien, almost as solid as the top to the bottom, but in Prussia, I'm afraid that a considerable number of Junker nobles have been knocked down by the capitalist's sugar-coated shells? How many people will this situation make me feel disappointed? However, without the support of these people, is the German crown really stable?

"I will do my best to do my best to the German Empire. Take care of you." Grand Duke Baden said. Then he stood up and left the house. The moment he closed the door, he saw the little lonely Moltke. In the hour just now, the German chief of staff seemed to have grown much older in an instant, like an old man in his twilight years. Maybe he would go back tonight to prepare for his resignation. When the German emperor's people came to question, he would directly submit his resignation.

"Today, did you meet Moltke?" Sure enough, after meeting the German Emperor, William II's first words were the problem.

"Yes." Grand Duke Baden was very upset and his answer was very simple.

"What did you say?" William II said, staring at the Grand Duke with his eyes.

"Little Moltke hopes that the relationship between the two countries can be eased. We did not say anything big. Moreover, Little Moltke has considered the consequences and is willing to bear them. There is no need to hold on to you." Grand Duke Baden's answer was a bit thorny! The German Emperor also realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong... Naturally, the German Emperor could not take the fifth major family of the empire for this trivial matter, and his cousin started the operation, so he decided not to talk about this matter.

"Okay, let's not talk about him." The German Emperor closed his eyes and calmed down his emotions. "We need to discuss things in Poland with Fritz. We want to let him know that on the Polish issue, standing on the side of Bavaria will lead to very serious consequences. When Hungary has not yet been solved, I really want to know where the Austrian Emperor got the confidence and energy to get entangled with the German Empire on this issue!"
