The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1780: Let's start first

"Your Majesty, you are not a truly outstanding leader. Germany was able to win this war because of its strong national and military power! The current way of ruling is not suitable for the future empire. We have won this war, but we have not Not ready to receive the fruits of victory. In my opinion, your plan is terrible, whether it is to allow the Poles to establish their own kingdom or support the formation of satellite states in the Baltic region, this is a huge harm to the cohesion within the empire! Your grandfather has created a Bavaria with a big tail, and now, how many Bavaria do you plan to create?" Hindenburg asked rhetorically.

   To be honest, Hindenburg can finally come together with the Social Democratic Party, and the personal benefit factor is at most less than 30%! In fact, as a senior official of the German Army who climbed up from the grassroots level, he has his own views and opinions on the entire German society. First of all, the first point is that he doesn't like the current domestic political system in Germany. What he prefers is a centralized state system that breaks the barriers of religion and state. Because he believes that only in this way can the power of the empire be concentrated, so when he started, he could not be said to be full of hostility towards the Kingdom of Bavaria, but it was certain that he was quite critical.

   So simply to say that the Social Democratic Party has always emphasized the need to strengthen the power of parliament, which is very in line with Hindenburg's political aspirations, and changing the composition of the German bureaucracy is also very attractive to Hindenburg. Especially at the beginning, Albert, who was in contact with Hindenburg, intended to continue to weaken the boundaries of the states and eventually integrate all states into one. (Of course, the current strategic goal has been changed to only fight for Prussian rights) These places are in line with Hindenburg's political demands and ideas, so Hindenburg's instigation has become a matter of course!

  Of course, the Kaiser did not have the time and energy to discuss the future of Germany with Hindenburg. He has a lot to do now! Although Wilhelm II's perception is very slow, but now, he also knows that a storm is about to sweep across Germany! His imperial power is at stake! This time, the Kaiser took a rare decisiveness and decided to take a series of drastic measures to stifle the storm!

He first wanted to stabilize the army on the western front. At this time, he turned out Ruprecht’s telegram again and found that the latter’s vision was so accurate. He began to do his best to collect supplies and to check the western part of Germany near the front. Under military control! At the same time, he sent a telegram to Ruprecht, in which he rarely asked the Bavarian Army to assume the responsibility of safeguarding the monarchy in a "pleading" tone.

   And this time, the prince had to deal with the Hungarian problem because of his lack of troops, and he was unable to mobilize enough troops. The Kaiser hit a soft nail! In his reply, Ruprecht was full of dissatisfaction with the Kaiser’s “treacherous” before, and pointed out that such a telegram was “insincere”! Did not admit the previous mistakes, and did not make any compensation. The prince clearly stated in the letter: The Bavarian Legion will never go to the battlefield for a mere telegram!

   If this letter is sent under other circumstances, then for the Kaiser, it can already be regarded as a rebellion! But now, the Kaiser really can't do anything to Bavaria! And more importantly, if he can't quickly put down the rebellion, then Bavaria is still the bargaining chip to decide the outcome! He knew that Bavaria might be up for sale in this political turmoil in Germany! But no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

At this time, the Kaiser was loyal to remembering the loyal little Moqi. He wanted to recall Xiao Moqi as chief of staff, but the latter rejected the Kaiser’s kindness. Xiao Moqi believed that he would stay in the country at this time and be ready to suppress the possibility. The mutiny would be better, and in the letter from Xiaomoqi to the Kaiser, he asked for more troops and equipment. He also suggested that the most important thing is to ensure the stability of the Western Front at this time! He believes that General Crook, commander of the First Army Group, is a good candidate to succeed the chief of staff.

   This time, the political and military wisdom of the Kaiser emperor broke out once in an extremely crisis domestic political situation! With his efforts, military forces loyal to the royal family quickly controlled important areas in western Germany, at least allowing the German Western Army to maintain it for a while! At the same time, the German emperor’s response to the country was correct in principle, concentrating its forces to prepare for a forced suppression, and sent a telegram to Prime Minister Holvig to prepare for the offense!

   But what is there a saying? The plan can't keep up with the changes! In other words, the Kaiser is still too optimistic about the domestic political situation!

If it is said that the rejection of the request for help from Bavaria is still expected by the Kaiser, after all, all the senior German officials know that the Bavarian crown prince is not a master of complaints against Germany, and at the same time knows that Prussia has lost the use of violence. Ability to solve domestic problems. Without the help of powerful measures, the only way to gain support from the other party is to use benefits or so-called "favors"~lightnovelpub.net~. Before, the Kaiser’s reckless actions almost reduced the relationship between the two It's freezing!

  The next thing is hard to understand for the Kaiser! The Kaiser asked Tirpitz to immediately return to the Port of Kiel to mobilize the fleet to prepare to transfer Mackensen’s army from the ice and snow on the Eastern Front to the country! The Kaiser’s order was passed to Tirpitz smoothly, and Tirpitz went to the port smoothly. However, some naval personnel in Kiel Port were very uncooperative, and some troops were also faintly unstable!

  The most terrible thing is that the main force of the German High Seas Fleet at this time is in the Baltic Sea! Fleet operations require icebreakers, and almost all advanced icebreakers in Germany are now accompanied by fleet movement! In other words, even if Tirpitz could bring in enough transport ships from other sources, he would never want to take Mackensen's army back on the ice of the Gulf of Riga...

This was particularly serious for the Kaiser. This not only caused the Kaiser to lose the last large corps that could be used in domestic political storms, but also made Wilhelm II not understand why the German High Seas Fleet he created with all his heart. Will abandon yourself at a critical moment? ! Could it be because of the previous reduction in naval treatment? However, no matter what, the navy's non-cooperation also made the Kaiser lose the last opportunity to solve domestic problems in the overall situation!

   In this case, it also caused the Kaiser's tendency to let the Prime Minister Holvig take advantage of the strategy! He intends to let Holvig take the beheading method to destroy the command system of the Social Democratic Party! Disintegrate opponents from within!
