1745 Series 3
However, Ruprecht did not flatly reject the request of Moltke. What does it mean to expect the enemy to be lenient? It means not giving up any opportunity to enhance his or her chance to dismantle his or her opponent. Moltke is indeed loyal to the German Emperor, but at the same time, both sides have a common purpose in fighting against the Social Democratic Party. Even if Bavaria has a clear hand and eyes, it is impossible for Moltke to be clear about the internal situation of Germany. He can now seek medical treatment in a hurry and find himself, which also shows that the internal situation in Germany may be worse than he imagined.
The crown prince wanted to speed up the layout, but now, the most uneasy thing about the crown prince was the navy. On the one hand, most of the German naval generals led by Schell were inclined to the German emperor, but it is hard to say how many Social Democratic people infiltrated in the middle and grassroots of the German navy. The prince needed to make Schell prepare early. On the other hand, if anyone could directly control the German ports, it must be the navy. If Schell could take active action and control the supplies of all ports and warehouses, then at least the stability of the supply on the Western Front could be ensured. After all, even if the railway was not good, Germany still had inland shipping. The crown prince was really worried about playing big!
However, although Crown Prince Ruprecht is theoretically the highest in command, now, he must rely on Scher to do things. Hippel has agreed to help the Crown Prince persuade Scher, but he still lacks sufficient conviction. Then, at this time, Moltke was delivered to the door! So, Crown Prince Ruprecht persuaded the navy to fill the last fuse! Then, Hippel decisively stepped forward after reliance!
It has to be said that Moltke's reputation and loyalty are indeed trustworthy. After Scher confirmed that Moltke's teaming up with Bavaria, the conversation between the two sides was much more convenient. After all, trust is the foundation.
"So, what does Your Highness the Crown Prince want our navy to do?" Although his face was still very formal, his tone had softened a lot.
"First, the fleet cannot attack, and the combat readiness work cannot be given up. At the same time, the stability of the fleet must be ensured. We have discussed this point, so I won't say much."
"Secondly, the navy must control the material warehouses in all coastal port areas. You and I know that the materials arriving at the port will last for about 20 days on average. The Crown Prince believes that in the next month, the North Sea blockade will be a little looser, and the materials transported in at this time are very important, especially food. We must never let them fall into the hands of some people, called tools for huge profits or do some more terrible things." Hippel said.
After a large number of vehicles and personnel are recruited, the turnover speed of the material in the port area will definitely decrease, so this also makes the port stockpile a large amount of materials. It is very important for whom these things are in the hands of them. Moreover, before, Schell did hear about some people hoarding for huge profits. In the past, he could turn a deaf ear, but it is absolutely not possible now!
"Third, prepare some transport ships, icebreakers and a large number of inland ships. We must use inland ships to maneuver when there is a problem with the railway system." Hippel said.
"No problem." After Hippel said the third point, Schell indeed believed that Bavaria and himself were comrades in the same trench, because he knew who these ships were prepared for! Naturally, they were preparing for the callback of the Markensen Legion on the Eastern Front. Don't think about walking on the highway. It was a snail climbing, and the situation of the railway was hard to say, so it was definitely the fastest to go by the sea!
"All these can be done. How can we convince the German Emperor not to attack the navy? Marshal Tirpitz and Rudendolf will come soon. They are holding the German Emperor's handwriting this time." Schell said.
"Actually, this has nothing to do with us, and the specific operation is not something we can interfere with, and even Prussia can interfere from time to time. His Royal Highness is doing it. You just need to hand over this letter to Marshal Tirpitz. This time, no matter what the result is, Marshal Tirpitz will definitely meet the German Emperor after he returns. Then even if the German Emperor is unwilling, he will definitely read the prince's handwritten letter." When Hippel saw that the heat was almost the same, he delivered a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness Ruprecht to Schell.
That's right, Ruprecht personally wrote a letter to the German Emperor. Of course, there is no problem with Hindenburg in the content. Be careful, nonsense. The Crown Prince hopes that there are some problems within Prussia, so why would he raise this question at this stall again? Moreover, even if the prince said it, the German Emperor would not believe it! The German Emperor would think, how could the Chief of Staff, whom he had just promoted, have problems? This logic is similar to that of Moltke who did not directly sue Hindenburg. Because this thing is considered to be inappropriate in the transfer. And more importantly, the transfer has begun, and the emptiness within Germany has been caused. If you want to reverse it, you can't just withdraw your individual!
The content of the prince in the letter is very simple, which is how to stabilize the situation on the Western Front. Of course, the specific content is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now. As for whether the German Emperor is worried that he will directly slap the jumping Social Democratic Party to death? Haha, the prince is not optimistic. After all, there is a pro-social Democratic Party Hindenburg as the chief of staff. With this guy here, the German Emperor’s faction will not be much more efficient! Therefore, the prince is now constantly increasing and decreasing weights on a scale to ensure that the final situation develops in the direction he expected!
"Does this matter need to be told to Rudendolf? He is now in charge of military supplies." Sher asked after hesitating for a moment.
"We cannot be sure whether he is on our side. The materials we control the port can only work without external force. If the General Staff intervenes, we have no way to stop it." Hippel thought for a while and said.
"Very good, I will keep it a secret and I will remind Marshal Tilpitz." Schell nodded. He is now very familiar with his current situation. As for who is his own people and who is the enemy, Madan, who knows?! He is a general of the army, not a spy!
"You still need to work hard to stabilize the Bavarian personnel in the navy. I guarantee with my reputation that the Imperial Navy will never let anyone down." Schell said.
"It's all for Germany." Hippel nodded and said.
"Everything is for Germany." Scher was stunned at first, with a little dissatisfaction in his heart, but he did not show it, because it was absolutely impossible to make Hippel say for the sake of the German Emperor...
