Chapter 1712 Response 2

However, this will inevitably lead to tight supply in Germany. As for whether this blockade can be broken? Ruprecht believes that if he waits until the High Seas Fleet completes all preparations, he is 70% sure that he can break it, and even if he cannot break it, it doesn't matter. He can rely on national control to survive this winter and defeat Ukraine's military in the spring of next year. Shipping a batch of grain can also solve the problem. But it is a pity that the Kaiser chose to fight. In this case, Prussia did the first grade of junior high school, so we cannot blame Bavaria for doing the fifteenth grade!

Of course, the prince will have a certain degree of control, and the German high-level officials can be a little more chaotic, but the army still has to be able to withstand it on the front line. As for the German navy? The prince thought it necessary to send a telegram to Scheer, asking him to proceed with caution. It's not that the prince wanted Scheer to cooperate with him in seizing power. The most important thing was that he was worried that the High Seas Fleet, which launched a forcible attack under the Kaiser's order, would suffer. If the High Seas Fleet suffered heavy losses, the prince's future plans might suffer some setbacks.

And it can be expected that once the conflict between Prussia and Bavaria becomes public, at least half of the German naval land-based aviation will be abolished, while the carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carrier formations will be almost completely abolished... The reason is simple, these troops belong to the Kingdom of Bavaria. Although the German General Staff enjoys the power of military orders during wartime, in this world you will never issue an order and others must execute it. There are countermeasures from above and methods from below. If Prussia thinks it's okay, then go ahead yourself! Look at how many carrier-based aircraft pilots the Prussian aviation force can produce now!

To be honest, the prince is really public-minded when it comes to persuading Scheer not to act rashly. Although Scheer is a very good battleship commander, it is really not right to want him to command a fleet mixed with a large number of aviation forces. He can do it. The prince thought that maybe even Scheer himself didn't have this confidence, right?

Ruprecht started hoarding supplies more than half a year ago just to passively respond to the Kaiser's possible actions. In fact, this was just a catalytic effect on the changes in German politics. Such a move alone was not enough. The prince believed that the contradiction between Prussia and Bavaria could now be made public.

"Order that the Bohemian-Moravian Army begin to gradually replace the Bavarian Army in Poland, and at the same time tell His Majesty Fritz that the performance of the Bohemian-Moravian Army in this war is also good. Very outstanding, and as the owner of the legion, Archduchess Mary should participate in the distribution of territory after the war." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

"Do you think His Majesty Fritz will support this plan?" Count Schelling said with some worry. This is actually a trick of changing the left hand to the right hand, and the right hand to the left. Is it different whether Bavaria, commanded by Ruprecht, acquires Poland, or Archduchess Mary? Anyway, they are all under the control of the Wittelsbach family.

Despite the change of name, the Kaiser's plan to establish the so-called Kingdom of Poland might be aborted, or at least the effect would be greatly reduced. After all, the so-called Kingdom of Poland was based on territory due to Germany,

Rather than including the entire Russian Poland, no less should be given to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

However, an unresolved issue now is how the warring parties will divide Russian Poland. Originally, everyone's tacit understanding was that Prussia, Bavaria, and Austria would each get one-third, and the actual garrison management situation was also the same. But after all, this thing is not included in the treaty. Between the three parties, if one party is willing to give it and the other party is willing to accept it, then the third party has nothing to do...

Therefore, the prince's countermeasure is to give part of the area bordering Bohemia directly to the Bohemian Legion while the territory is still in his own hands. In this case, after the control is transferred, even if the so-called Kingdom of Poland is adopted within Germany What about the bill? As long as Fritz can withstand the pressure, can Germany really take back the territory that Bavaria handed over to the Archduchess? What are you thinking about? !

As for whether King Fritz can withstand the pressure? Lord Schelling thought it was a bit suspenseful. However, Ruprecht believed that Fritz could definitely withstand it! After all, under pressure from the Western Front, it was impossible for the Kaiser to take radical measures against an empire. From a diplomatic perspective, everyone is an empire, so who is afraid of whom?

And does this even count? Think about what Ruprecht and Fritz want to do, whether it is to make Archduke Marie become Queen Marie or to confound Prussia, these things are much bigger than the so-called Bohemian Legion entering Poland! Fritz planned to blow Prussia in half, so what did this matter?

"Don't worry, His Majesty Fritz will cooperate with us, and he is smart enough to deal with the Kaiser's envoy. In addition, he can do some things in Poland. For example, Polish independence elements launched an attack on the German or Austrian troops. Like this, we want to create a public opinion in Germany and tell all the people that those Poles are restless again!" the prince said.

In fact, although the overall situation has been very stable since the occupation of Russian Poland, in fact, the Poles have caused some trouble for the Allied forces. If we say that the most resilient and independent nation on the European continent, the Poles are definitely one of them. There are still various independent factions existing today. Some pursue complete independence, some are willing to be attached to Germany, and there are also anarchists. Anyway, there are many political demands.

Therefore, the prince just picked out these things and then amplified them appropriately. Let the North German Protestants feel that the Poles are not good! Although this may not fundamentally veto the proposal of the Kingdom of Poland, both the Social Democrats and the Junkers need to consider this matter carefully when voting in parliament. After all, parts of East Prussia still come from the former Poland , if a Kingdom of Poland appeared at this time, would it be asking for trouble for Prussia itself? ! This question is worth pondering!

"At the same time, we will also reduce the transportation of resources from Turkey to Germany, as well as the transportation of grain from Ukraine. As for the reasons, you can find it yourself! Road problems and insufficient supplies, I don't need to teach you about this. "Ruprecht thought for a while and decided to go to this step. In fact, in a short period of time, these things were reduced and their impact on Prussia was limited. Of course, it would be different after the North Sea blockade was officially closed. The prince did this more to express an attitude!
