"I thought I would talk to Scher on the flagship of the High Seas Fleet, Bavaria." After climbing the ladder, Admiral Markens said to the naval officer who came to greet him. This time, Markens was already very tolerant. In order to meet with Admiral Scher, Markens agreed to the request to meet on the naval warships, and there were few entourages, and he fully took care of the navy's face. However, what he could not imagine was that this time, the warship used as the negotiation site was not the flagship of the High Seas Fleet, but the backup flagship Saxony.

"Genius, the conference room of the battleship Bavaria is prepared for Crown Prince Ruprecht. It will only be opened when the Crown Prince comes to the Navy in person and presides over the meeting. Generally, even General Scher holds a meeting, it will only be held in the officer's restaurant." said a accompanying naval officer next to him.

"Okay, I accept this explanation." If General Scheller held a meeting and used a flagship conference room to welcome Markens with a spare flagship conference room, even if Markens didn't say it, he would definitely be very dissatisfied. But now, since only Crown Prince Ruprecht can use this conference room, then there is nothing to complain about. There is no way. In terms of status and achievements, why should Markens with Crown Prince Ruprecht be compared with Crown Prince Ruprecht? And as a comrade-in-arms on the Eastern Front, Markens was very respected and admired by the other party's abilities and people. After hearing this explanation, he naturally had no dissatisfaction.

After entering the conference room of the battleship Saxon, only General Schell and Major General Bainke, the commander of the Third Battleship Detachment. This was very different from what General Markens imagined. He felt that with the status of both sides and the content of the negotiations, the podium should be bigger? Even if the commanders at the military level had to sit at least two sides to get a dozen people together, right? Now, in the entire conference room, there are only four people except the secretary... including the Chief of Staff who is playing soy sauce on his side.

"In this meeting, because the discussions are very sensitive, it is better to know that the fewer people, the better. After all, a considerable number of people in the entire fleet are sympathetic to the parliamentary faction," General Schell explained.

"Okay, I understand this very much, and I am very grateful to the Navy for its efforts and contributions to the soldiers on the Eastern Front in winter." Markenson now truly realized that the army and the Navy are really different, not just the arms, but also the technology, and the spirit and system of the troops are different, I don't understand it.

Although Admiral Schell did not agree to use naval ships to transport Markensen's Eastern Front Legion back to the land, he used naval warships to supplement the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Front with a large amount of supplies and winter clothes. The Eastern Front Army was pretty good this winter. So, no matter what, the Navy really helped Markensen. For these helps, Markensen should at least express his verbal thanks.

"General Scher, I think you should have understood the main purpose of our meeting this time. The disputes in China have been delayed for a long time, and the empire has bleeded in the internal struggle. It has greatly affected the situation of the war. Now, as the weather gradually warms up, I think it is time to completely resolve the domestic rebellion. My army has gathered part of it from the front line, and on the Western Front, the offensive of the British and French coalition forces is coming to an end. Your Majesty's army has been free from the constraints. At this time, you and the Navy should also make the right choice." Markenson said.

Why did Markens again mention this after General Schell rejected Markens' request to fight a sailboat? Isn't it just that the battle situation has eased and the front-line army has the remaining strength, and the German Emperor has the strength to push back? In Markens's opinion, the current situation is completely good news for the German Emperor. At this time, the navy should choose to take sides?

"The attitude of the Navy is still neutral. We have done our best to ensure the training and morale of the Navy, and ensured the supply of troops on the east and west fronts. As for the Berlin matter, it has little to do with us. No matter who comes to power, we still have to fight with the British fleet in the vast North Sea." Admiral Schell said after thinking about it.

"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty the Emperor will blame him?" Markens was a little unbelievable. It was time for this. Why should the parliamentary faction fight against the German Emperor? Once the German Emperor gains power, with William II's temper, he will definitely retaliate against all those who are not on his side.

"If the Emperor's advantage is really as big as what you said, then tell me why there is still no movement on the Western Front now? Needless to say, each army will draw a division of troops, and the military forces sent by the parliament will be completely suppressed. However, until now, the generals on the Western Front have not issued orders." General Scher paused and continued: "And I also heard that General Hellingen seemed to be preparing to suppress the rebellion in the country, but the middle and low-level officers did not want to do this, and even almost caused a mutiny. It was General Crook who came forward and calmed the mutiny on the condition of not participating in the civil war. Therefore, I feel that the entire army may not agree with the orders of the German Emperor."

"Even if some officers and soldiers of the army do not agree with Your Majesty, I feel that the Navy should stand on Your Majesty's side. After all, the large-scale expansion of the Navy was personally presided over by Your Majesty, and you were promoted by Your Majesty the Emperor. You should stand on Your Majesty's side in terms of emotion and reason." Markson said with some confusion. In his perception, the Navy, as the beneficiary, should be a die-hard supporter of the German Emperor.

"I need to explain, first, His Majesty's expansion of the navy is a need of national strategy, not to satisfy some people's personal desire to be promoted. Expanding the navy and His Majesty's award of medals to certain nobles are completely different concepts. We cannot be confused. In the case where the Imperial Navy cannot meet the needs, anyone will choose to expand the navy. This is a public heart, not a private favor."

"Secondly, the praise received by all the soldiers in the navy is the result of our struggle. We paid, so we got what we deserve. This is equivalent, nor is it personal favor."

"Third, as soldiers, we are loyal to Germany first, then the nation, and then the government and the emperor. We will not use force without voluntarily to be loyal to someone." General Schell explained.

"But according to the information I have received, you obeyed the orders of Crown Prince Ruprecht. Whether it was rejecting the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to attack or subsequently adhering to neutrality, there was the influence of His Royal Highness in this." Markenson said.
