The Rise of the Empire

Therefore, Ruprecht asked the Kaiser to immediately step up its control of domestic materials, especially to strengthen the crackdown on the hoarding profiteers, to ensure the stability of domestic material supply, and claimed that even if it cannot be spread across the country, at least The management of the Rhine-Ruhr area must also be strengthened, and at the same time, food must be held in particular!

　　 For this suggestion, the Kaiser would naturally agree with it. When Ruprecht finished writing this letter for Prince Leopold to read, the old prince was still puzzled. He realized that he could not understand why Ruprecht would help the Kaiser to stabilize the situation at this time. ? It is a consideration to ensure the stability of the western front and prevent the collapse, but if this is all considered, it is impossible!

"The telegram that Hipper sent me mentioned that the Kaiser might reduce the rationing of the High Seas Fleet. Doing such a thing at this time will undoubtedly make many people chill. There are not many Junkers among the commanders of the High Seas Fleet. , They themselves are in a state of swing, so at this time, in order to balance the strength of both sides, I need to give William II some weight."

"The other purpose is to make Albert and others act quickly. They have been waiting until the situation in the country is most favorable to them before launching. When they discover that the Kaiser has begun to control Germany with powerful means, they will Forced to launch, according to our timetable, Hungary will also be fast, so there can be no delay in Germany," the prince said.

　　 "But, in this way, will William II have too much advantage?" Prince Leopold asked.

"Hehe, let alone the limited talents of Wilhelm II. The current German army is already in a mess. Some of them were bought by Albert and others. Some were originally loyal to the Kaiser but are now dissatisfied with the recent actions. Of course , The most are still the fencers. The Kaiser’s basic set is already very small. Wilhelm II can play a full hand of good cards like this, I also admire.” Ruprecht said with a smile.

　　 However, it doesn't matter how Ruprecht and Prince Leopold think about this issue. Anyway, the Kaiser agreed with the proposal of the crown prince. In the current situation that the navy is unable to break the blockade, this plan is considered a good result. However, the only thing that dissatisfied the Kaiser is that in this letter, Ruprech Te didn't show any intention of reconciliation, it was all business affairs.

"So, did Hipper mention anything else? Did Ruprecht do anything else recently? Tirpitz, you don’t realize that the relationship between Ruprecht and the navy is too close. Is it?" It seemed that something suddenly occurred, and the Kaiser brow wrinkled.

　　 "His Royal Highness is the Marshal of the Navy, and before your appointment is revoked, His Highness is free to ask anything about the Navy." Tirpitz said.

"Haha." The Kaiser sneered. The expression on his face was a bit unkind, as if his favorite toy was suddenly taken away by others. From the Kaiser's point of view, the German High Seas Fleet could have today is entirely the result of his operation. , But there is a meaning of looking forward to Ruprecht. It's a ghost if the Kaiser can be happy.

"Someone suggested to me that if the High Seas Fleet is unable to attack, then the rationing of the High Seas Fleet should be appropriately reduced in order to save materials for more needed places. I thought about it and it made sense. Now the whole country is a little nervous. You should also pay attention to it."

"Not only the high seas fleet, but also the personnel on the shore, also have to be reduced. For this matter, I will let Ludendorff draw up a plan for you. You can discuss some details with him." The Kaiser seemed to feel that he was not strong enough. So I added another sentence.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Although Tirpitz was mentally prepared for this result, he was still shocked when Wilhelm II uttered these words. The Kaiser handled this matter to him. It feels like a wayward bear boy, and the bear boy breaks something at best, but if the Kaiser is wayward... Tirpitz could already imagine the reaction of some members of the Navy.

　　 "The army is reducing rationing on all fronts, why can't the navy reduce it? Except for the submarine unit, most of the remaining units have no combat missions!" the Kaiser asked rhetorically.

　　 You cannot say that what the Kaiser said is unreasonable. However, after excluding various military problems, there is an unavoidable political problem, that is, the navy is not more stable than the army if it is based. The position of the navy puts them in a very important position in the future domestic struggle, so Ruprecht will not hesitate to move Little Mochi out to persuade Scheer. Unfortunately, the Kaiser did not fully realize this.

"Okay, Tirpitz, go and do your business. Recently, there have been too many annoying things. I want to be quiet." The Kaiser waved his hand, indicating that there is no room for maneuver on this matter. , And in desperation, Tirpitz could only leave with a look of worry.

In any case, this letter from Crown Prince Ruprecht still gave the Kaiser a glimmer of hope~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and also gained a certain understanding of his own crisis. There is no problem blocking the British attack on the battlefield. Facing the British attack, the Germans on the Western Front prevented them from advancing with only one hand. After the initial stability of the front, the Kaiser began to strengthen the military police, and at the same time began to strengthen the management and control of the western German theater.

After this action, it did receive a certain effect. A group of hoarders or other people's intentions were hit, but don't think that this kind of thing can be cured, because the Junker aristocracy and the bourgeoisie in Prussia have been integrated. It is quite deep, and the right wing of the Social Democratic Party led by Albert and others will not give the Kaiser so much time!

　　 "It seems that the Kaiser has realized something. Some of our actions have to be accelerated." In a villa in Berlin, Albert said to Nosk, the head of the Social Democratic Party of Kiel.

"The fleet has been training. They are offshore. It is difficult for our people to contact the fleet personnel, but the activities of the base personnel are still smooth. Now, the Kaiser has decided to reduce the ration and treatment of the navy. I think this It's an opportunity." Nosk said.

　　 "So what about your plan?" Albert asked.

　　 "I want to see Scheer," Nosk said. "And to bring them the goodwill of our Social Democratic Party, we can use a part of the materials in our hands for the labor force. At the same time, test Scheer's attitude." Nosk said.

　　 "Will we be exposed if we do this?" Landsberg asked on the side.
