Chapter 1751： Letter (1/2)
Therefore, Ruprecht asked the Kaiser to immediately step up its control of domestic materials, especially to strengthen the crackdown on the hoarding profiteers, to ensure the stability of domestic material supply, and claimed that even if it cannot be spread across the country, at least The management of the Rhine-Ruhr area must also be strengthened, and at the same time, food must be held in particular!
For this suggestion, the Kaiser would naturally agree with it. When Ruprecht finished writing this letter for Prince Leopold to read, the old prince was still puzzled. He realized that he could not understand why Ruprecht would help the Kaiser to stabilize the situation at this time. ? It is a consideration to ensure the stability of the western front and prevent the collapse, but if this is all considered, it is impossible!
”The telegram that Hipper sent me mentioned that the Kaiser might reduce the rationing of the High Seas Fleet. Doing such a thing at this time will undoubtedly make many people chill. There are not many Junkers among the commanders of the High Seas Fleet. , They themselves are in a state of swing, so at this time, in order to balance the strength of both sides, I need to give William II some weight.”
”The other purpose is to make Albert and others act quickly. They have been waiting until the situation in the country is most favorable to them before launching. When they discover that the Kaiser has begun to control Germany with powerful means, they will Forced to launch, according to our timetable, Hungary will also be fast, so there can be no delay in Germany,” the prince said.
”But, in this way, will William II have too much advantage?” Prince Leopold asked.
”Hehe, let alone the limited talents of Wilhelm II. The current German army is already in a mess. Some of them were bought by Albert and others. Some were originally loyal to the Kaiser but are now dissatisfied with the recent actions. Of course , The most are still the fencers. The Kaiser’s basic set is already very small. Wilhelm II can play a full hand of good cards like this, I also admire.” Ruprecht said with a smile.
However, it doesn't matter how Ruprecht and Prince Leopold think about this issue. Anyway, the Kaiser agreed with the proposal of the crown prince. In the current situation that the navy is unable to break the blockade, this plan is considered a good result. However, the only thing that dissatisfied the Kaiser is that in this letter, Ruprech Te didn't show any intention of reconciliation, it was all business affairs.
”So, did Hipper mention anything else? Did Ruprecht do anything else recently? Tirpitz, you don’t realize that the relationship between Ruprecht and the navy is too close. Is it?” It seemed that something suddenly occurred, and the Kaiser brow wrinkled.
”His Royal Highness is the Marshal of the Navy, and before your appointment is revoked, His Highness is free to ask anything about the Navy.” Tirpitz said.
”Haha.” The Kaiser sneered. The expression on his face was a bit unkind, as if his favorite toy was suddenly taken away by others. From the Kaiser's point of view, the German High Seas Fleet could have today is entirely the result of his operation. , But there is a meaning of looking forward to Ruprecht. It's a ghost if the Kaiser can be happy.
”Someone suggested to me that if the High Seas Fleet is unable to attack, then the rationing of the High Seas Fleet should be appropriately reduced in order to save materials for more needed places. I thought about it and it made sense. Now the whole country is a little nervous. You should also pay attention to it.”
”Not only the high seas fleet, but also the personnel on the shore, also have to be reduced. For this matter, I will let Ludendorff draw up a plan for you. You can discuss some details with him.” The Kaiser seemed to feel that he was not strong enough. So I added another sentence.
