1758 Crossroads 2

"Okay, let's not say it anymore. I admit that I am not honest on this issue. I hope you can accept my apology. I do not regard His Highness Ruprecht as a politician. He will always be my most respected Marshal. If it is a war, I am willing to accept any orders from him. But for some political matters, please forgive me for my caution and caution." Schell looked defeated.

"But what you said is indeed correct. The attitude of Crown Prince Ruprecht really made me a little worried. Because I don't know his tendency. If it were before, then in order to ensure Bavaria's independence and monarchy, Ruprecht would definitely help His Majesty the German Emperor. But now, if the Social Democratic Party gives the prince some benefits, will the prince change his mind considering the previous conflict with Prussia? It is hard to say these, and what is even more terrifying is, if Bavaria gets involved in this incident, will the entire German country become uncontrollable? After all, Prussia and Bavaria are two kingdoms!"

In fact, Scher was not worried that Bavaria would take advantage of the civil strife in Germany (mainly Prussian civil strife). After all, although Bavaria is the second largest kingdom in the country, it is actually too far from the first... This idea is completely impossible to achieve. I believe that the Crown Prince is also very clear in his heart. Ruprecht's current attitude also made Scher a little confused. The simplest point is that now the storm is about to come and the wind is full of wind in Germany, and the prince still brings a large number of legions to knock on the Russians on the Eastern Front... What does this mean?

"You said, the Crown Prince, would he also have a neutral plan? Or maybe he was waiting for a price?" Sher asked with some confusion after thinking about it.

"You can actually call and ask. Compared with those politicians, His Royal Highness is still very frank and has a great view of the overall situation." Hippel thought for a while and said.

"Is this really good?" Sher said hesitantly, touching his chin.

"Are you worried that some people would report to the German Emperor or be deceived by His Royal Highness?" Hippel asked back. "If these two concerns are really that terrible, then you can't ask me, and then we will temporarily exclude Bavaria's influence from this incident. Don't worry, I have sufficient confidence to ensure that the Bavarian air force does not participate in this incident."

"It's a pity that I don't want to take my destiny into the hands of others. Without extra strength, we can only go with the flow." Scher's attitude has been significantly loosened.

"How long does it take to prepare if I want to talk to His Royal Highness on the phone?" Schell asked.

"Then you may have to go to the base of the Bavarian carrier-based aircraft fleet. They have a way to transfer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's office. The incident will be relatively long. If you count the appointment, you may have to wait 2 days." Hippel thought for a while and said.

"2 days?" Schell said in surprise.

"Two days have been very fast. Your Highness has arrived in Kiev now." Hippel said. It is very troublesome to transfer calls between different systems in this era. And one thing to note is that the German Emperor is very busy, and Ruprecht is not easy either. If you make a call, people will be waiting next to you? What do you think?! Who do you think you are! The German Emperor and Ruprecht have to make an appointment with both followers in advance.

"Okay, then that's it. I'll use this time to think about this issue carefully." Admiral Schell said after thinking about it.

"Do we need to contact General Moltke?" Hippel asked again after a while.

"I don't think this is necessary. After all, even if we can fully trust General Moltke, General Moltke may not trust us at this time! And the most important thing is that as a general of the German Army, especially in this case, he is likely to have his own plans. Until now, he has not contacted us directly, which shows that he does not want the navy to get involved in this matter for the time being." Schell thought for a while and said.

That's right, Moltke must not trust the Navy so much, because even if Moltke was deposed by the German Emperor, he was still a hardcore royalist, but what about the Navy? Even if Moltke trusts Schell, Moltke will definitely have doubts about the navy as a whole. After all, the composition of the navy gives the Social Democratic Party a natural advantage in propaganda. Schell, the admiral, has been in the navy for 20 years and dare not say that he can completely listen to him. Why should Moltke believe that the Navy stands on the side of the German Emperor at a critical moment?

Perhaps in the opinion of Moltke, the Navy is the best result if it remains neutral and at least not on the side of the parliament? Of course, there is another possibility that Moltke and the Army are too busy with things, let alone the Navy...

Of course, there is another problem that Scheller was unwilling to say, that is, if this incident could loosen the original structure of the Junker nobles controlling the German regime and give people of better channels for growth in other classes of society, it would be a good result. In fact, although Scheller did not agree with Knowles' approach, some of the latter's ideas did affect him. After all, Scheller's origin determined that there was a certain distance between him and the Junker nobles!

In the end, Hippel's work was quite reliable. His crown prince there gave Sher face and did not ask him to wait for two days. He agreed that the two sides could have a phone conversation in one day and a half to see the time, which was about 3 pm the day after tomorrow.

So in the remaining time, in addition to the necessary rest, Admiral Scher took a small notebook and a pen to consider what to say about this telephone conversation. Similar to the three famous philosophical issues, Admiral Scher also listed three questions, namely, Bavaria's attitude towards this political event, what do you want to do, His Royal Highness, and what do you plan to do.

Then he will consider whether there are some common ground between the two sides based on the answer of Crown Prince Ruprecht, and then discuss whether he can get the help of the latter. You must know that General Scher has always been an independent person and will never use it as a knife for others!

In the last half day, Schell was still wondering whether to tell the Crown Prince Ruprecht about the conditions offered by the Social Democratic Party representative Knowles to himself. After all, Knowles' conditions are indeed very attractive. Schell, as the commander of the navy, must consider the future of the navy. If the German Navy may obtain the support of the Crown Prince after the war, it would definitely be much better. Moreover, compared with the moral integrity of the politicians of the Social Democratic Party, General Schell still recognized the prince's character.
