Chapter 1745: Concatenation Three
However, Ruprecht did not categorically reject Little Maoqi's request. What does it mean to be lenient in anticipation of the enemy? Just don't give up any chance to strengthen yourself and disintegrate your opponent. It is true that Moltke is loyal to the Kaiser, but at the same time, the two parties have a common purpose in fighting the Social Democratic Party, and even if Bavaria has good hands and eyes, it is impossible for Moltke to be clear about the internal situation in Germany. He is now able to find himself in an emergency, which also shows that the internal situation in Germany may be worse than he imagined.
The crown prince wants to speed up the layout, and now, the navy that makes the crown prince most disturbed is the navy. On the one hand, most of the German naval generals headed by Scheer are inclined to the Kaiser, but how many social democrats have infiltrated the middle and grassroots of the German navy? It's hard to tell when you come in. The prince needs to get Scheer ready. On the other hand, if there is a chaos, who can directly control the German ports, then it must be the navy. If Scheer can take active actions and control the materials in all ports and warehouses, then at least the supply of the western front can be guaranteed. Stable, after all, even if the railway fails, Germany still has inland waterway shipping. The crown prince is really worried about playing too big!
However, although Crown Prince Ruprecht is the highest in command theory, but now, he must rely on Scheer to do things. Hipper has agreed to help the crown prince persuade Scheer, but he still lacks enough convincing. Then at this time, Xiao Mao Qi delivered it to your door! Therefore, Crown Prince Ruprecht persuaded the last fuse of the navy to be completed! Then, after Hipper had a reliance, he decisively went up!
It has to be said that Little Moltke's reputation and loyalty are indeed trustworthy. When Scheer confirmed that Little Moltke was joining forces with Bavaria, the conversation between the two parties was much more convenient. After all, trust is the foundation.
"So, what does His Royal Highness want our navy to do?" Although his face was still very formal. But the tone has softened a lot.
"First, the fleet cannot attack, and combat readiness cannot be abandoned. At the same time, the stability of the fleet must be ensured. We have already discussed this point, so I won't say more."
"Secondly, the navy must control the material warehouses in all coastal port areas. You and I both know that the materials arriving at the port have to stay for about 20 days on average before they can be shipped out. The crown prince believes that in the next month, the North Sea blockade It will be a little more relaxed, and the supplies coming in at this time are very important, especially food. We must not let them fall into the hands of some people, call it a tool for profiteering or do something worse." Hipper Said.
After a large number of vehicles and personnel are recruited, the turnover rate of materials in the port area will definitely decrease, so this also makes the port hoard a large amount of materials. It is very important who owns these things. And before, Scheer did hear about some people hoarding money to make huge profits. In the past, he could turn a deaf ear to it, but now he absolutely can't!
"Thirdly, prepare some transport ships, icebreakers and a large number of inland watercraft. We must do a good job in using inland watercraft to maneuver in case of problems with the railway system." Hipper said.
"No problem." When Hipper said the third point, Scheer really believed that Bavaria and himself were comrades in the trenches, because he knew who these preparation transport ships were for! Naturally, it is to prepare for the callback of the Mackensen Legion on the Eastern Front. Don’t even think about taking the road, it’s a snail crawl, and the situation of the railway is hard to say, so taking the sea is definitely the fastest!
"All of these can be done, but how can we persuade the Kaiser not to let the navy attack? Marshal Tirpitz and Ludendorff will be here soon. They are holding the Kaiser's letter this time." Er said.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with us.
The specific operation is not something we can interfere with, even the Prussian side can interfere from time to time. His Royal Highness is doing it, you just need to give this letter to Marshal Tirpitz, and this time, no matter what the result is, Marshal Tirpitz will definitely see the Kaiser when he returns, so even if the Kaiser doesn’t want to , he will definitely read the prince's handwriting. Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Hipper sent a letter from His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht to Scheer.
That's right, Ruprecht personally wrote a letter to the Kaiser. Of course, there must be no problem with Hindenburg in the content. Be careful, nonsense. The crown prince still hopes that there is something wrong with Prussia. Why? This question will be raised at this stall again, and even if the prince said it, the Kaiser would not believe it! The Kaiser would think, how could there be a problem with the chief of staff he had just promoted so quickly? This logic is similar to the fact that Mao Qi did not directly sue Hindenburg. Because this thing is misaligned at best. And more importantly, the transfer has already begun, and the emptiness inside Germany has been created. If you want to reverse it, you don't have to withdraw people!
The content of the prince's letter is very simple, how to stabilize the situation on the Western Front. Of course, the specific content is something for later, so I won't mention it for now. As for whether you are worried that the Kaiser will show his power and directly shoot the jumping Social Democratic Party to death? Hehe, the prince is not optimistic. After all, there is still a pro-social democratic Hindenburg as the chief of staff. With this guy, the efficiency of the Kaiser's faction will not be much higher! Therefore, the prince is now constantly adding and subtracting weights on a balance to ensure that the final situation develops in the direction he expected!
"Do I need to tell Ludendorff about this matter? After all, he is in charge of military supplies now." After hesitating, Scheer asked.
"We can't be sure whether he is on our side. The materials we control the port can only work without external force. If the General Staff intervenes, we have no way to stop it." Hipper thought want to say.
"Very well, I will keep it a secret, and I will remind Marshal Tirpitz." Scheer nodded. He now understands his current situation very well. As for who is his own and who is the enemy, asshole, who knows? ! I am a navy general, not a spy!
"The Bavarian personnel in the navy still need you to work hard to stabilize it. I guarantee on my reputation that the Imperial Navy will never let anyone down," Scheer said.
"Everything is for Germany." Hipper nodded and said.
"It's all for Germany." Scheer was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it, because, with regard to the current relationship between Bavaria and Prussia, it is absolutely impossible for Hipper to say something for the Kaiser. possible.......
