The German Emperor stopped and continued, "As for you to defend against the Alsace-Lorraine region, the distance is indeed close, but this is a huge waste of resources. We let Ruprecht stay on the Western Front, but what about the Eastern Front? Do you have to use several armies to make up for the gap left by the Bavarian Legion westward? What if there is really a big problem with the Eastern Front? And if the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot get the support of the Bavarian Legion, will he still help us watch the Eastern Front? No! Therefore, the Bavarian Legion can only reach the Eastern Front, which is the best choice!"

This is the difficulty of a ruling man, especially a relatively smart man. Between rationality and willfulness, the German Emperor can only choose the former. If it is a 25-year-old, Ruprecht would have no choice, because the ruling man does not understand these, and your threats will not play any role in him! From this aspect, it can be seen that William II's ability is quite good.

"Then why do we still have to put our strength on the Western Front?" the crown prince asked again.

"Because the German Empire would never be safe if it did not defeat France. Britain and France pose too great a threat to us. This is a strategic goal. In fact, although Ruprecht believed that the Western Front could not be pushed away, he also believed that the Western Front should be placed in the most important position. Even if we couldn't fight and wanted to negotiate, we would have an advantage. After the end of the French-Prussian War, after France recovered its strength, the empire wanted to launch a war of prevention, which was for this purpose. As the main body of the empire, we must also bear this responsibility."

"This seems to be an excuse." The crown prince frowned slightly and questioned the German emperor's words.

"You finally got to know, yes, that's an excuse!" The German Emperor nodded with satisfaction. "Do you know? Although Ruprecht is very good, we do not agree with his inference on the Western Front. We believe that there is still a chance to kill France, but I have to say that Ruprecht has indeed provided us with a lot of advice and useful things. We are indeed improving our strategy."

"Maybe you don't know yet. Now the Prussian General Staff has begun to plan new plans. As a supplementary product of the original plan, we call him two strategies! The first step is similar to the original plan. It is necessary to launch a blitzkrieg at the beginning of the war. If France can be defeated, it will be better. If it cannot be defeated, it doesn't matter. We can try to push the front line forward."

"The second part of the plan is related to Ruprecht. In fact, I am very satisfied with the results of this exercise, and can even be described as ecstatic, because we finally have a way to break the trench defense war! In the early stage of the war, we could not transport a large amount of heavy equipment, but once we entered the stalemate stage, we could transport it and break through the French defense line! Ruprecht did not trust this, but we believed it was OK, so we wanted to try it."

"The benefits of killing France are too great. Ruprecht can only get some leftovers on the Eastern Front. He can naturally get benefits when he works on the Eastern Front. However, if he did not participate in the Western Front, it would be impossible to get benefits from the Western Front in the feast after the war. Think about it, the French opened their horizons in Africa and the Far East, as well as the Belgian Congo Basin. Although Ruprecht used some tricks, as the main body of the German Empire, we will always benefit the most!"

"We should provide some support and tolerance to such capable, responsible, and mentally unhealthy people, especially now, when people who really can fight. Think about it, when Prussia's Teutonic Africa plan can be realized and a large area of ​​colonies including Congo can be included, it is not so unacceptable to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire pay some benefits to Bavaria."

"In fact, Ruprecht's sense of sensibility is here. While seeking his own interests, he also takes into account the overall situation. He can use such powerful equipment when fighting enemies like Russia? These things are actually largely prepared for the Western Front. The Bavarian Kingdom has made these things out of its own pocket, and its attitude and sense of responsibility are better than those of more than 90% of the Prussian soldiers and capitalists! Just for this, we should feel glad. Finally, our teammates are more powerful." The German Emperor said with some self-deprecation.

"As for what you said about arranging a Prussian commander-in-chief on the Eastern Front? Not to mention the lowest level and the easiest thing to do. Judging from the results of this exercise, anyone who knows a little about military will become a puppet of Ruprecht when he arrives on the Eastern Front, because he is powerful! The power formed in repeated confrontations is sometimes more useful than official positions and status. And even if there is the so-called commander-in-chief of the German army on the Eastern Front, how can you order the Austro-Hungarian Empire?"

"So what is our strategy? Watch the deal between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Bavarian Kingdom be completed? If the Vettelsbach family expanded their territory and strength in this operation and the other two kingdoms also wanted to replicate the former's actions, what should we do?" asked the crown prince.

"No, their strength is far less than Bavaria. It is not just military power, but also economic power and population do not allow them to do so. Bavaria's population is now more than 12 million, and the GDP accounts for more than 20% of the country, and the government's income is more. So they have money to build new territory and manpower to manage and use it, but other kingdoms cannot do it. There is no need to worry about this." The German Emperor said.

"But we should always put some restrictions, right? For example, in terms of funding, scale, or other fields?" the crown prince said unwillingly.

"The restrictions on economy and scale are absolutely not possible. Old guys like Hellingen restrict the expansion of military forces for the interests of the nobles, and those of the Social Democratic Party restrict the increase in military expenditure. We finally have a way to increase military power. How can we cut off our own martial arts? Everything I told you today is to let you know the domestic situation and know the priorities of the matter. Ruprecht is a partner who needs attention, but not an enemy." The German Emperor shook his head and said.

"This time, the fundamental purpose of calling Biaoluo is to first divide the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the future Eastern Front! Don't forget that it was me, the German emperor who agreed to the Bavarian army to assist the Austro-Hungarian Empire. For this reason, the Austro-Hungarian Empire should give certain transfers in interests!"

"As for calling Moltke over, it is very simple. We need to learn the tactical system of the Bavarian Legion, but it is definitely not a simple replication. We have our national conditions. This issue needs to be discussed carefully and the German military command system is re-formulated. By the way, this time we have to finalize the command, logistics and cooperation issues with the Austrian Emperor. Finally, the three leaders of the Eastern Front are together, and I don't know when the next time will be." The German Emperor said.
