The Rise of the Empire

"Maybe I should consider allowing him to stay in the Baltic Viceroy?" The crown prince's thoughts changed again.

"Yes, I wrote it myself, because I think the planning 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 time to think about it. There is no such thing as giving it to someone else or a typewriter. This effect, sometimes too convenient tools will shorten our thinking time." Prince Albert said.

"It's a good habit." The crown prince was also embarrassed to just glance at the dozen or so pages written by his younger brother. He started to browse, focusing on the places that he hadn't paid attention to in his plan, and it didn't matter if he looked at it. He found that Prince Albert did have very unique ideas in some aspects. For example, the proportion of logistics and road troops in Prince Albert's plan was very high, and the road traffic situation from Asia Minor to the Fertile Crescent was analyzed. Very well planned.

"This content is very interesting." The crown prince pointed to the part of the document about logistics and transportation.

"Well, I completed this piece of content with the help of Marshal Mackensen. During the war, the main force of the Prussian army was on the western front, where the traffic conditions were very good. But on the eastern front, the logistical supplies and traffic conditions were different. The second largest enemy outside the army, and the traffic situation in the Ottoman Turkish Empire was even worse. If we want to fight in this country with a vast territory, the traffic problem must be taken seriously.”

"And after I read the plan formulated 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 into the depths of the Turkish Empire. Deploying forces and advancing The time will exceed our expectations, so it will be difficult to end the war in three months. At least Marshal Mackensen thinks so." Prince Albert said.

"As for it, Turkey is only a third-rate country, and it is enough for us to solve it in three months. What's more, we have internal support." The crown prince said with some dissatisfaction.

"If it was that simple, Crown Prince Ruprecht would have done it long ago," Prince Albert said.

"He is just a state, but this time, we cooperate with the Prussian Federation, and our strength is stronger." The crown prince said.

"The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bavaria will be stronger together. If this is not enough, he can also contact the Federal Prussia. In terms of mutual relations, we and the Prussian Federation are the worst. The Crown Prince is not stupid. He has always asked the Central Decentralization, and then his unified command is not only a matter of interests, but it is indeed difficult." Prince Albert said.

"Maybe they want to coerce us?" The crown prince frowned, and he also felt that Bavaria's performance this time was very unusual.

"However Bavaria has said many times that we can do it,

Even the handover has been arranged, so considering what the crown prince did before, I think he has already thought about what to do next. said Prince Albert.

"What's next?" the Crown Prince asked.

"Yes, jump out to clean up the mess when we are stuck in the quagmire. This trick is called post-strike. The empire does not allow failure, and if it is in a stalemate, then naturally it can only be handed over to capable people. Marshal Mackensen 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 the most outstanding campaign-level commander in the entire Prussian Army is Marshal Mackensen. We Respect his opinion," Prince Albert said.

"Hiss..." The Crown Prince gasped. "Is this a trap?"

"No, this is a conspiracy. It's a very simple multiple-choice question. The Middle East issue must be resolved. Either we will do it and do it well, or Bavaria will take the lead and we will fully cooperate. That's it. There is not much about this matter The key is to do a good job.” Prince Albert said.

"It seems to make sense." The crown prince said with a sigh.

"Then shall we transfer Marshal Mackensen from the Baltic Viceroy? Then make a new plan?" Prince Albert said.

"It's too late." The crown prince said very sincerely to his younger brother in a rare way: "Politically speaking, we are about to have a showdown with Bavaria. We have no choice. The time for the visit has been set. There is no possibility of delay. This is a secret that the whole country knows. This is the first time we have led such a large-scale operation after the Great War. This operation is of great significance. Even if there are problems, they can only be corrected slowly during the operation. From a military point of view , Once the mobilization starts, everything will be as precise as a machine, and it will undoubtedly be a disaster to re-plan at this time."

"We cannot fail. Although the original plan cannot be changed, we can increase the troops deployed later. War is ultimately a matter of iron and blood. I believe that the warriors of the German Empire can easily solve these problems." The crown prince finally said.

"Okay, let's change the question. What do you think about our trip to Munich?" The crown prince didn't want this cloud to continue to hang over his heart, so he decided to change to a more realistic topic.

"If you just look at the handover of the incident, it should be very smooth." Prince Albert said.

"I thought there would be some twists and turns in the middle, so that's good." The crown prince said, the question just now was just to change the subject, he didn't care about the prince's answer, after all, who knows what will happen to the actual power holder in Bavaria choose it.

"But it will be very difficult to do this well." Prince Albert said: "We need his help, and help comes at a price."

"Yes, there is a price." The crown prince said. "We have considered the price to be paid. Of course, after your reminder, we will inquire about related matters. I think Crown Prince Ruprecht will give us some advice even from the perspective of the empire?"

"I think you should show your kindness to the Bavarian side in a private name first. In order to prevent the relationship between you and him from causing bad results due to some misunderstanding." Prince Albert said hesitantly.

"What kind of misunderstanding is there between me and him? I was the governor of the Polish governorship and had little contact with the south." There was a little bit of unnaturalness in the crown prince's words.
