Chapter 2899： Brother Three (1/2)
”Maybe I should consider letting him stay in the Baltic Governorate?” The crown prince's thoughts changed again.
”Yes, I wrote it myself, because I think the plan outline must be taken seriously. It is the framework of the whole thing. It will be slower when you write it yourself, and it will give you the last time to consider, but it will not be given to someone else or a typewriter. This function is effective, and sometimes a tool that is too convenient will shorten the time we consider.” Prince Albert said.
”This is a good habit.” The crown prince was too embarrassed to directly glance at what his brother had written more than a dozen pages. He began to browse, focusing on areas that he hadn't paid attention to in his plan, but it didn't matter. He found that Prince Albert did have very unique ideas in some aspects. For example, Prince Albert’s plan had a very high proportion of logistics and road troops, and he also carried out a detailed analysis of the road traffic from Asia Minor to the Fertile Crescent. Very good planning.
”This content is very interesting.” The crown prince pointed to the logistics and transportation parts of the document.
”Well, I completed this content with the help of Marshal Mackensen. During the war, the main force of the Prussian army was on the Western Front, and the traffic conditions there were very good. But when it came to the Eastern Front, the logistics and traffic conditions were in addition to Russia. The second enemy outside the army, and the traffic situation in the Ottoman Turk Empire is even worse. If we want to fight in this vast country, the traffic issue must be paid attention to.”
”After reading the plan made by the General Staff, I think this plan is a bit optimistic, because it is a waste of time for us to effectively project our forces to the depths of the Turkish Empire. Deployment and advancement are required. Time will exceed our expectations, so it is difficult to end the war in three months. At least Marshal Mackensen thinks so.” Prince Albert said.
”As for, Turkey is only a third-rate country, and it is enough for us to solve it in three months. What's more, we still have internal responses.” The crown prince said with some dissatisfaction.
”If it were that simple, Prince Ruprecht would have done it a long time ago.” Prince Albert said.
”He is just a state, and this time, we cooperate with the Prussian Federation, our strength is stronger.” The crown prince said.
”Austro-Hungary and Bavaria will be stronger together. If this is not enough, he can also contact the Federation of Prussia. To talk about the relationship between us, the Prussian Federation is the worst. The crown prince is not stupid. He has always asked for the center. Decentralization and then unified command by him is not just a matter of interest, but it is indeed difficult.” Prince Albert said.
”Maybe you want to hold us?” The crown prince frowned, and he also felt that Bavaria's performance this time was very unusual.
”However, Bavaria has stated many times that it can let us do it, and even has arranged the handover. Then considering what the crown prince did before, I think he has already thought about what to do next.” Prince Albert said .
”What to do next?” the crown prince asked.
”Yes, when we are stuck in the quagmire, we jumped out to clean up the mess. This trick is called late attack. The empire is not allowed to fail, and if it is deadlocked, then naturally it can only be done by a capable person. Marshal Mackenson I don’t know the political situation in the Middle East, but from the perspective of military logistics alone, he is not optimistic about our plan. You should be very clear that Marshal Mackensen is the best commander in the entire Prussian Army. Respect his opinion.” Prince Albert said.
