In fact, as a long-time general, Markensen did not ask for so many troops. After Hindenburg issued a military transfer order, Marshal Markensen, who learned the news, immediately demanded a reduction in the scale of reinforcements and at the same time required some reinforcements to be replaced. He asked for a more elite force, rather than a large number of troops with average combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, this request was rejected by Germany from the General Staff! Or by Hindenburg, Ruprecht even believed that the German Emperor had not seen Markensen's report at all!

The report of the commander of the Front Army cannot be heard. Is it surprising? Is it surprising? Is it surprising? In fact, there is nothing. Do you think you can chat with the German Emperor? In fact, think of Bismarck's era, when the German Chief of Staff was as strong as the old Moltke, and when he met the German Emperor, he had to say hello to Bismarck first, and at the same time chatted with the German Emperor in the presence of the Prime Minister. It is normal for Hindenburg to suppress a report of a certain Front Army as the Chief of Staff. Not to mention that Markenson cannot return to Brussels and Hindenburg's top bull now. Even if he can come back, the German Emperor can meet as you want?! What a joke?!

"William is so wise and ignorant, a series of bad chess!" Prince Leopold did not hide his contempt for the German military talents in his words. "And, I feel that there is something wrong with this Hindenburg!" After saying that, the prince stopped talking, looked at the prince, waiting for Ruprecht to make an idea!

"From a military perspective, this is a very bad move. The so-called reason can only convince a rookie like William II, uncle, let's see what happens after the transfer is completed." After Ruprecht finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the putter and walked to the front of the huge map hanging on the wall.

"The troops on the Western Front are a little nervous now. If Britain and France launch an attack, then all the reserves on the Western Front will probably have to take over and cannot deal with other things. What about the Eastern Front? Although the troops are very sufficient, the excessive size and the poor environment on the Eastern Front have reduced the reaction speed of the Markensen Legion. Once the Markensen Legion launches an attack on Russia, it will be like a train that cannot stop the brakes, and it will be no problem to directly hit it, but it will be difficult to brake and turn a corner."

"Then we are there. At least on the surface, we have only 80,000 troops in Bavaria, which ensures that our own stability is fine. However, if we want to interfere in Prussia's internal affairs, we have no problem! This at least makes the German Emperor feel at ease on the surface and makes others feel at ease. Therefore, in the eyes of some people with other ideas, the whole of Germany is now real on the outside and empty on the inside. If they can control part of the newly formed troops, then they will really control the domestic situation. If we think about Hindenburg's idea of ​​equipting heavy weapons to the newly formed troops, the result will be obvious!" The prince originally had a smile on his face, but now it has completely become cold and serious! Because Ruprecht knew that the time to determine his destiny has come!

"Whether Hindenburg has reached an agreement with the Social Democratic Party or maintained so-called goodwill neutrality, at least Prussia's influence on the first half of our plan has almost zero. If nothing unexpected happens, we can calmly take away Hungary. Then, my wife becomes the queen, and the direct descendants of the Vettelsbach family will become the next crown prince." The prince said.

"However, I have never understood that Hindenburg has become the chief of staff, why can he reach an agreement with the Social Democratic Party?" At this time, Prince Leopold, who is also half a politician, had already thought that Hindenburg had this possibility, but he was still confused. After all, he was already a great minister. If you don't want to break the ground and become king, as a Prussian, why should he take huge risks to reach an agreement with the Social Democratic Party? Leopold couldn't figure it out.

"First of all, the first point is that Hindenburg can be a half-unexpected luck from the Chief of Staff. If it weren't for Xiao Moltke's open communication with the Grand Duke of Baden and said a lot of topics that made the German Emperor afraid of it, the German Emperor would not have removed Xiao Moltke. Before, you and I knew what Hindenburg did, but just took care of logistics. At this time, if the Social Democratic Party put forward an attractive condition, Hindenburg could have turned against him. After all, he and the noble officers' group were not the same."

"Secondly, Hindenburg is also very clear that the German Emperor wants to be the chief of staff to be just a puppet. Now it's just an emergency. I guess after this period of time, the German Emperor will immediately change people. Let's say a joke, if Bavaria goes to the Western Front next year and I go to the German General Staff, my uncle thinks, who will the command of the Western Front fall into?" the prince said with a smile.

"Damn, I have never seen such a shameless person. Even if it is true, you can't say it yourself! I don't have you, your nephew!" Prince Leopold was shocked by Ruprecht's face! But the prince was right. With Ruprecht's record, he must have the final say when he arrived at the Western Front. Even if he did not have the rank of Chief of Staff, this command has nothing to do with Hindenburg, and the German Emperor will recognize the prince, because war is really an honest thing!

As for the third point, the prince did not tell Prince Leopold that in history, when Germany launched a revolution when internal and external difficulties, even though some officers in the military were willing to suppress it, Hindenburg, as the chief of staff, did not agree, but instead persuaded the German Emperor to abdicate. Not to mention Hindenburg's true thoughts, his behavior clearly showed that even when the German Emperor fully trusted him and gave him heavy responsibilities, he still chose to stand by. This shows that in essence, Hindenburg and the German Emperor, as well as those who only depended on the imperial power, were not the same!

Now, Hindenburg is much worse than in history. He has no military achievements. He has a very low status and is the kind of person who can consider retirement after the war... He is even less likely to be loyal to the German Emperor. Moreover, his class and the people around him have no direct relationship with the German noble officer group. Therefore, whether for personal purposes or the interests of his own group, if the German officer group led by the German Emperor can go down at this time, he will undoubtedly make a profit.
