Chapter 1717: Grand Duke and Little Mao Qisan (1/2)
Slide 1717
”Could it be that we watched the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria continue to approach, even threatening the results of the Austro-Prussian War?” Grand Duke Baden asked rhetorically.
”It is impossible for Bavaria to separate from Prussia. If Bavaria makes a move to split the country, then the German military is duty-bound. However, if there is no definite evidence, or if the other party has not taken action, then sorry, your Excellency, the German military Will not take an offensive.” Little Moqi is tantamount to giving the Baden Bus a bottom. That is, you can play politics, you can also weaken Bavaria through parliament or other means, but don't always think about relying on the German military to force your opponent to yield, because this threat is too great and accidents will happen....
”Your Excellency, I hope you can seriously consider the balance between the General Staff and the two kingdoms. If we can ease the contradiction with Bavaria, then as long as Ruprecht successfully commands the troops to enter the Western Front, then the whole battle will The overall situation is settled. We can mobilize troops on the Western Front to the Eastern Front, and then gain more territory. We can have an overwhelming advantage over Bavaria, but now it’s not the right choice to force our opponents too much. What's more, we have done recently. These things have made the Polish independence forces very active, which is very bad for the empire.” Little Mochi said at last.
”But what use do you tell me about these words?” Grand Duke Baden asked.
”If I'm not mistaken, you will serve as the special envoy of the German Emperor to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, I hope you can ease the relationship between the two parties and not overly intensify the contradictions. At the same time, you can persuade your Majesty.” Xiao Maoqi sincerely Said.
”Hehe, General, don't you think that as a soldier, your behavior has been a bit arrogant?” Grand Duke Baden did not say yes or no, but took the topic in another direction. He wanted to know, what is the purpose of Xiao Maoqi doing this?
”Have you overstepped?” Xiao Maoqi smiled bitterly. ”In this palace, our every move will not hide from your majesty's eyes and ears. You are your majesty’s in-laws and the prince of the empire. This is nothing to you. Isn’t it for me? .”
”I just do something that should be done. Even if it is arrogant, even if I lose my current position and power, but I do not regret it. I believe that if this problem can be solved, let Crown Prince Ruprecht command the Western Front. The battle will be better than me.” Xiao Maoqi smiled slightly, with a relief on his face.
Grand Duke Baden suddenly felt that this topic could not continue. Prince Baden did not doubt the loyalty of Little Mochi. The direct result of this incident is very clear. Xiao Moqi met with the Grand Duke of the Empire in a public contract and discussed a very sensitive issue. With the German emperor's belly, he will definitely hold a grudge. It is entirely possible to find a reason to replace Xiao Maoqi.
In history, didn't Mochi, Falkingham, and Tirpitz all be taken directly by the Kaiser? Therefore, whether it is from ability or procedure, the Kaiser wants to win a chief of staff. As Xiao Moqi said, the Kaiser would not do anything to himself. Let alone the relationship between them, since the establishment of the German Empire, the Kaiser has never interfered with the leadership of any country! Because doing so is illegal!
