Chapter 1911: The Real Enemy One

"However, as long as we can defeat the French, we can end the war. When our military boots are on the ground in Paris, the French will surrender, just like they did when the empire was founded. At that time, even if the British are stronger. We also have to admit the fact that the continent of Europe is ours." Hellingen said dissatisfied.

"General Herlingen came up with a solution to the problem, which was very good. By hitting the French and making the British feel that they could not win and were forced to compromise, then we won the war." Ruprecht said: "But That doesn't answer my question. Well then, let me talk about our previous views on this issue."

"The feud between France and Germany can even be traced back to the Napoleonic period. The French helped the Poles restore their country and established the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. A considerable part of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was separated from Germany. Some of the land, such as Warsaw, is ours. Recently brought back, of course, in the years that followed we also avenged our opponents, with a great victory at Sedan, followed by a parade on the Champs Elysees and a coronation at Versailles. The military prestige of the Empire reached We reached the top. And we have a bloody feud with the French."

"In the ensuing decades, we fought openly and secretly with the French, but the empire has always held the initiative, because our power can easily crush the French, not even the whole of Germany, Prussia is enough. For this reason, the French did not hesitate Pay for the Russians, use money and loans to tie Russia to the French chariot. If you count from the French President's visit to Russia in 1890, it has been more than 20 years, but how can it be so? The Russians are a Clay-footed giants, but they are not useful. Their army is no stronger than the French."

"The French are not stupid. They know that uniting with the Russians is just to make them safer, but revenge is impossible. The French have always been cautious. Even when things like the Tunisian crisis occurred, the French chose to compromise In this way, the empire has passed through decades in a stable manner. To be honest, we are not afraid of France and Russia joining forces at all. We are really not afraid. However, all this has changed after the intervention of a new power!" The prince's voice suddenly Raised one degree.

"If you think about it, the British and the French only reached a diplomatic understanding in 1905, and the British and the Russians put aside their differences only after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, in 1906. However, that's it. France and Russia, which have been afraid to do anything under the pressure of the empire for decades, have the confidence to fight us in a full-scale war after just 6 years after joining the United Kingdom! If the Russians did not recover too quickly, This war will never be as smooth as it is now."

"The British provided maritime superiority, air power comparable to Germany and Austria, and most of the supplies and funds. Coupled with millions of well-trained troops and hundreds of millions of colonial populations, all of these constituted a powerful The British Empire! And all this has turned into countless ammunition and armies, and the empire has paid a heavy price." Ruprecht said.

To make an image metaphor, among the three main countries of the Allied Powers, the Russians are in a defensive war with limited output, but they are very large and very resistant to beating. The French army is smaller in scale, but its combat effectiveness is relatively high. It belongs to the thin-blooded high-output melee unit of thieves, while the British have two professions, mage and priest, at the same time. The British navy and air force provide "long-range output". Abundant resources, manpower and funds continue to support France and Russia in fighting like blood bottles and blue bottles! And the most hateful thing is that this mage also has a "refrigerator" skill that is difficult to break, that is the English Channel and the world's largest fleet! If the Grand Fleet cannot be killed, then even if France fails, the British will sue for peace,

But it may be very difficult to hurt the UK! Because your threat is not enough!

"So, you mean that the British are the culprits. And this time, if we can't inflict enough damage on the British, then even if we kill Russia and France, we still can't count as a complete victory?" General Howson said.

"That's right, that's what it means. We received a lot of land and population from the Russians, and the French are about to lose, but what about the British? If the British don't feel the heart-wrenching pain in this war, the empire If we can’t get compensation from the UK, then our victory in the war will lose half of its meaning! Even if we can wipe out the British expeditionary force, so what? On the islands across the channel, the British are still British.” Ruprech Te said.

"However, that's a matter for the navy and has nothing to do with our army," General Hellingen said.

"It's true that there is no direct military relationship, so you don't have to think about it. But from my point of view, as a military commander and the supreme commander of the empire's current army, I have to consider these issues. I made The decision must also combine many factors in military, political and diplomatic aspects. Therefore, some of the decisions I have made may seem unbelievable to you, but please believe me, my decision is almost the best choice for Germany at present. said Ruprecht.

"Honestly, I am not interested in the objective of the campaign you mentioned, whether it is to completely kill the French, or parade in Paris to celebrate our victory, in my opinion not only has very limited meaning, but is also a very dangerous move! " Ruprecht said sharply.

If it is someone else, even if the Kaiser is here, these proud generals will definitely refute. For German soldiers, the most intolerable accusation they can tolerate is criticism and questioning by others in the military field. However, this time, they are facing Crown Prince Ruprecht, who has the most brilliant record in the entire German army, and can even be said to have built the existence of the current German navy, land and air force system! The idea of ​​a soldier is very simple, if you can fight, then you are right!

"The number of engagements between me and the French is no less than yours. I have engaged in large-scale army-level engagements with the French on the Western Front, in the Balkans, and in Asia Minor. To be honest, if you put aside the hostile position, I want to say The French Army is a respectable army, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is second only to the German Empire's army on this planet," said the prince.
