Chapter 1259： Stand in line and fight one (1/2)
Slide 1259
”I am opposed to this kind of voting, especially in the voting process, there are some people who do not understand the Eastern Front. They are completely blindly commanding.” Mackensen, who has not spoken, first expressed his support for the prince.
”I personally don't know the situation on the Eastern Front, so I decided to abstain.” Duke Albrecht, who also sat on the left hand side, representing the Kingdom of Württemberg and commanding a group army, said afterwards. He did not stand with a clear-cut stand. The prince’s side, but this abstaining attitude itself is tantamount to reducing the influence of the German General Staff on the Western Front.
“It’s wrong for some people to forcibly pass through borrowing the name of the General Staff Headquarters without going through consultations. Now, it’s even wrong for some people to push the plan forcibly when the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front has deemed it inappropriate. Choice.” The Prince of Saxony also gave a similar statement.
”Especially, the person who promotes this statement is still the commander of the group army on the western front. He is neither a core member of the general staff nor on the eastern front. I now want to know that this is an unintentional move by some people. Or is there another arrangement?” The prince looked at Hindenburg in his eyes full of joking. After all, on this plane, Hindenburg's status is far not as high as in history, and there is no Tannenberg victory. There is no subsequent record on the Eastern Front, Hindenburg is only a commander of the group army until now, and he is at most attending this kind of meeting. It is enough to let you talk to give face, and you want to promote the general The staff voted forcibly? What do you want?
”Hindenburg should have the support or suggestion of some people. It may be Falkingham, Krueger, or even Moch. They want the Bavarian Army to assume additional obligations, and even want to force Vote to force, but now there is no certainty of victory, so I push out to test it alone.” The prince looked around and looked around all the people opposite, thinking silently in his heart.
”First temporarily dispatch the Bavarian Army deployed in Romania to Bulgaria, and then launch a limited offensive to obtain a better strategic posture. After the start of the Polish campaign, you will go north, and we will fill this loophole with troops on the western front. How?” Xiao Mao thought for a while, and said in a more relaxed tone.
”Do you think I'm stupid?” The prince didn't say it, but that was what he meant in his eyes... Now we go up, you will take over again when the time comes? Grasping the grass, cheating a fool? !
It is estimated that 80% of this matter will have to change. What if the reinforcements are not enough, or the reinforcements are temporarily moved elsewhere? For example, you suddenly intend to engage in trouble on the Western Front, and then the Bavarian regiment in the Balkans will be pitted? This is not a problem of one division and two divisions. Greece is also a country, and Serbia is also regarded as a regional powerhouse. Mackensen took 9 divisions to get Serbia back then, and the time spent was still calculated in months... Even if the Bavarian Legion is stronger, it has to deploy 6 whole divisions, probably more than 100,000 troops...
”Adjourn the meeting for now.” The Kaiser interrupted both sides of the dispute and said very simply. Ma Dan, the current situation is obviously unable to unify opinions. The Prussian generals on the Eastern Front didn't say a word. They obviously supported the prince's opinions, but contradicted the Western Front officers of the General Staff. Among the generals on the Western Front, the Grand Duke of Württemberg Albrecht and the Prince of Saxony were equally ambiguous, because they could feel that this was the Prussian faction in the General Staff who was preparing to gain military dominance.
At this time, if Bavaria can't hold it, then Saxony and Württemberg can't hold it any more. Therefore, at least they will not support the General Staff to force a vote, or even have them on the side of the prince, as long as they abstain. Then the remaining Prussian officers on the Western Front definitely can't beat the Bavarian Army on the Eastern Front and Prussian officers on the Eastern Front... What a situation of holding grass and egg pain!
