2355 The eve of the storm 1

"But unfortunately, with the physical condition of the two generals, they may not be able to work with us for too long. General Pinov has limited influence and has prejudice with us." Earl Schelling said. Admiral Crook himself is old and injured, and his physical condition is indeed not good.

"Someone will make up for it." The crown prince said with a smile.

"Mr. Commander, Mr. Bulle is here." Shortly after Crook returned to his official residence, a guard who had followed him on the Western Front for two years reported to him that although the war had ended and he was no longer the commander of the First Army of the German Empire's Western Front, this young man was still used to calling him the Commander. This title also allowed Crook to recall the glorious years on the Western Front and the experiences of blood and fire.

"Okay, let him wait in the living room." Crook thought for a while and said. For Break, Crook had a bad impression at the beginning. After all, Break was a former German Army colonel. During the civil strife in Germany, he served as the military side of the parliamentary delegation and fought with Moltke. With this, Crook was absolutely not friendly to him, and the first few meetings often ended in disagreement.

However, as the interaction deepened, Mr. Buler, who is currently in the Parliamentary faction and the military, is really planning to do some practical things, and he is also really concerned about the resettlement of military personnel. Within his authority, Mr. Buler has tried his best, so Crook's attitude towards Buler began to change a little. However, the interaction between the two sides is limited to work, and there are few private exchanges. For example, this time, when Buler came to him on his own initiative, it was the first time!

"Mr. Buller, it's not a good thing for you and me to come to my private home on a holiday. If possible, I hope that our communication will only be at work and in the office." After meeting Buller, Crook said. Obviously, Crook didn't want to have too much personal communication with Buller, even if the latter cooperated with him at work.

"There is one very important thing I need to tell you in advance. You and the military must be prepared." Buller did not care about Crook's attitude, but directly explained his purpose: "Five days later, the state government will pass a resolution, and they will further reduce military expenditures. I calculated that if you want to ensure the normal operation of the army, the number of people must be reduced by about 120,000 within a week. You must consider the placement of these personnel."

"Are you kidding? Is it a placement of 120,000 people within a week? Do they think that resettlement is to drive officers and soldiers out of the barracks? Because of funding, every previous resettlement period did not meet the expected plan. They always criticized us for being inefficient in work, but I will never let my soldiers enter society without guaranteed life! This is an insult and harm to those soldiers fighting for the empire!" Admiral Crook's words were full of anger.

"This is impossible." Crook stressed again.

"This resolution will definitely be passed. The National Cabinet has made a decision, and the National Parliament will also pass it. This is completely legal in terms of law. I have considered the difficulties of the army, so I asked the parliamentary government to pay the deposit for the military retired personnel in the next quarter in advance." Buller said with a sad face.

"They don't want to pay?" Crook said with a frown.

"Mr. Hasai agreed, but Mr. Albert asked some of the deposit to be paid in the form of food and supplies," Buller said.

"Pay in the form of materials? Haha." Crook sneered. The trick among them was Crook naturally knew that the so-called payment of materials was just to deal with excessive war materials from the army and the government, such as canned food, various rusty bread and dried vegetables. These things are definitely not as good as Mark who got them directly. This method is beneficial to the government because they handled the excess materials, saved money, and also to the capitalists because the government helped them deal with inventory. The only one who suffered the loss was the officers and soldiers waiting to be resettled. Crook naturally hated this behavior!

"God General, we must be prepared. Even if everything is implemented without any problem, we are just using tomorrow's resources to fill today's deficit. If possible, I hope you can worry more about the work of the soldiers. Once these hundreds of thousands of people go to society with resentment, it will definitely be a very unstable factor. I will find some more money issues." Buller said.

"First of all, Mr. Bourer, I am very grateful. You can take the risk to inform me of this matter. On behalf of all the soldiers who fought for the German Empire, I would like to thank you for your concern and dedication."

"Secondly, if possible, I hope you will resign from all military-related powers before this resolution is issued. This is for your own good." After three minutes of silence, General Crook said sincerely to Bühler. No government will allow internal personnel to contact the parties involved in the resolution before the major resolution is issued, and it is at the moment when politics within the German Empire is very sensitive, so it really takes courage to do such a thing. Crook respects this very much.

"General, I don't understand what you mean. Overly intense action at this time will only cause chaos within the empire." Buller heard some deep meanings in Crook's words. It is obvious that this time the military is ready to launch a counterattack, and it is a very fierce counterattack! Buller believes that the army has this power because the foundation of the parliamentary faction is not stable, and the army still has an overwhelming advantage in controlling military power because the war has just ended.

"General, I hope you can calm down. If you stick to your opinion, then I may report to you when necessary. The empire has finally stabilized. In the overall situation, we must not experience another turmoil." Buller warned.

"Speak me? Then throw me to prison? Then you should move faster because you need to catch too many people. And, how do you need to make a crime? What did I do? Just because of what I said?" Crook said with a smile.

Crook disdained Buller's warning. After all, even if the parliamentary faction could take him down, how could it be possible to clean up the entire army? At this time, if the parliamentary faction acted rashly, it would definitely be a more fierce counterattack from the army!
