"Everyone, I don’t have time to wrestle on this issue. I need to discuss a result before 3 o’clock this afternoon, and then I’ll get on the train to Kiel Harbour at 4 o’clock! Okay, everybody, start publishing yours Comment! My Chief of Staff and my Minister of the Navy." William II said.

"If Prince Rupley does not need to command the Bavarian Army, then my colleagues in the Admiralty and I are willing to work under his command. In fact, if possible, I think Prince Leopold will command the Bavarian Army and the prince will come. It would be better to command the navy.” Tirpitz said first.

"This is really a terrible idea. The Bavarian royal family will not agree, and Prince Leopold may not be able to command the entire power subordinate to the Bavarian royal family." Xiao Maoqi said with a glance at Tirpitz.

Is Prince Leopold honorable? Sure, the younger brother of the current King of Bavaria and the uncle of Ruprecht. Old fritters who participated in the Austrian-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War. The German marshal, the second person in the proper Bavarian army. However, such a number one person can command other legions of the empire, and can assist the prince in commanding the Bavarian legion, but he cannot command the Bavarian legion with full authority!

This is politics! The crown of Bavaria can only be inherited directly. Therefore, only Ruprecht can command the Bavarian Legion. Prince Leopold can command the Eastern Front in history, but when can he command Ruprecht? No such record, right? What's more, the current Bavarian Legion is composed of two parts. The direct allegiance of the Bohemian Legion is Princess Mary. Working for Ruprecht can also be understood as working for the grandfather’s husband, but there is absolutely no reason to follow Leo. Order of Prince Pod!

"This is indeed a very bad suggestion. I suggest that all the participants in the meeting forget about this matter." The Kaiser said with a gloomy face. Now William II can't understand why Tirpitz, who has always had a keen political sense, put forward such a suspicious suggestion at this time?

If this is to be stabbed, nothing else, the Bavarian side must think that the Kaiser instructed to divide the interior of Bavaria. Let the prince command the navy, gradually dilute its influence, and then let the side branch assist the Bavarian military power. This is obviously two cores! Do the kings and princes of Bavaria hate the Kaiser? In peacetime, the emperor did not dare to do this. Now, in wartime, it is not to cheat yourself!

"Your Majesty, I don't mean anything else. I just think that there is no one in the German Navy who can compare with His Royal Highness. We need such a leader." Tirpitz also suddenly realized the political problem, so Then immediately explained. Don't forget that besides Prussia, there are also people from other kingdoms and principalities.

"This question will stop here. What you think is not important, what is important is what the other party thinks." The Kaiser's tired expression indicated that this topic could not be continued.

"Marshal of the German Empire?" Little Mao Qi said tentatively.

"This, in fact, the prince already had the title of Marshal of the Kingdom of Bavaria before this, and according to the current trend, kings and generals of various kingdoms can obtain this rank, which is very limited." Prince Maximilian of Baden was a little embarrassed. Said.

The rank of Marshal of the Second German Reich is not only officially awarded to warriors who can fight and resists, but also an honorary title. The first and second commanders of the major kingdoms can basically get a marshal's hat. For example, in history, the kings, crown princes, and princes of Bavaria were all marshals of the German Empire, and the kings and dukes of Württemberg were also marshals of the German Empire, and even foreign monarchs, not to mention the Greek kings, the Ottoman Turkish emperors, and Austria-Hungary The emperor of the empire and even the king of England have won this honorary title...

For soldiers, the gold content of this hat is not bad, but for top nobles, how can this be nothing? You can get it sooner or later! Maybe Kruger and his like are a bit difficult, but for Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg sitting in front of his right hand, this hat is really not a problem. One's own blood and status in the kingdom are the guarantee.

"You can grant the title of Marshal of the Navy at the same time." Compared to the Field Marshal, the Marshal of the Navy is still very precious. At present, it seems that Tirpitz himself has it, and this time he won the naval battle. Naturally, the title of Marshal of the Navy is more appropriate. So Tirpitz made this suggestion.

"Marshal of the Navy can give this." William II nodded. "If I remember correctly, then Ruprecht will become the first dual marshal in the empire, who has the titles of both navy and field marshal." Compared to the large number of field marshals in the empire~www.mtlnovel. com~Marshals will be less, currently there are two, one is Tirpitz, the other is Prince Heinrich Wilhelm. Tirpitz is worthy of the name, but the latter one is actually based on the relationship...

"So apart from honorary rewards, what about other aspects? The future Eastern Front battlefield and naval command power, what do you think?" The so-called reputation is only an addition. The real division of rights and interests is the key, Prince Always an actual person. The Kaiser also really needs a figure who can be optimistic about the Eastern Front and can always maintain the vitality of the navy.

"I once asked General Mackensen. He has no objection to the prince's command of the Germans on the Eastern Front. In the future, once the prince returns to the Eastern Front and commands the Prussian Army including the Eighth Army, this is also the general trend. We can give This status. Of course, the only problem is that the two armies have different equipment systems. It is very troublesome to always provide two kinds of supplies." Xiao Maoqi said.

During the war, everything was dominated by war. Xiao Moqi himself still recognized the prince’s abilities and skills, and hoped that the prince would be awarded this status. But now, it has been delayed for Xiao Maoqi and the senior staff of the German General Staff to issue this order. The fundamental reason lies in the recruitment of soldiers and equipment on both sides. Bavaria and Bohemia are in charge of the prince, while Mackensen's troops are in charge of Prussia, and the equipment is the same. If you can't communicate with each other, then this will be a very troublesome thing.
