In the battle for resources, the natural disadvantage of the mainland’s powerful navy, coupled with Heidi Selim’s departure from the country, has caused the cohesion and external influence of the Admiralty to drop sharply. The once-majestic blade of the ocean fleet has given birth to the martyrs’ breathing in the old age for no reason.
"Why don’t you invite Heidi Selim back from taranto!" Lieutenant General erich Lei Deer, Chief of Staff of the Navy, suggested.
In mid-1916, General Bohr had to resign due to the deterioration of depression, and erich Lei Deer, deputy chief of staff, took over the post of General Bohr as expected.
"West Lyme has just led the joint fleet to defeat the French, and the world is full of west Lyme’s commanding art and personal charm. Because the ocean fleet has been unable to open the situation, the country’s request for west Lyme to return to the navy is also very high. Since Friedrich Albert, the leader of the social í n zh incarnation party, can be released, we don’t take the opportunity to invite Heidi West Lyme back from taranto? ！”
Lei Deer suggested that almost every high-level meeting of the navy would be repeated by the navy. Navy Secretary Schell was grumpy, and Commander-in-Chief of the Ocean Fleet hippel was too calm. The Chief of Staff of the Navy, erich Lei Deer, had no experience in commanding the fleet, while the one-armed general, Wei Gena Yunge, was upright and talented, and bernhard von Oden was expected to be the leader of the Ocean Fleet. Unfortunately, he had already returned to the South Atlantic. Even though Heidi Selim had never obtained a very high position and rank, the navy still regarded him as the only flag of the Ocean Fleet, the most appropriate naval leader in a certain period in the
The navy has had enough. It is more and more urgent for Heidi Sillem Ri to recall the chic of the era of independence than for the lonely navy today to miss Sillem.
"Have to consider the emperor and the army against …"
Compared with Major-General haneke’s passive attitude towards Nuo Nuo, his officers in the army and German navy are generally deep and convergent. The Germans have repeatedly forgotten the emperor’s orders. The navy is uncompromising, but in fact, even in the era when Heidi Sillem had the strongest influence on the navy, the sailors were still ashamed to argue with their army colleagues or haggle over every ounce, and they rarely took the initiative to participate in politics. After losing the banner of Heidi Sillem, the navy seemed to have lost its due sea spirit and spirit, and it was more effective to resist the pressure of the army and the emperor.
"This matter directly to the navy law but we can count on the prime minister Mr Bateman …"
One-armed general Wei Gena touched him and deliberately grew a beard light way
The servants in the Imperial Prime Minister’s Mansion were busy cleaning the snow in front of the door. Several members went into the Prime Minister’s Room together. The ministers brought steaming coffee and slowly closed the door.
The room was quiet, and occasionally pine branches crackled, which was the sound of the fire burning in the fireplace. Bateman sat on the sofa and pulled out a case from the desk drawer and gave it to the owner for reading.
"In order to increase the number of soldiers and expand the production of war materials, the Army has launched the so-called’ Hindenburg Plan’, that is, the new national service law. According to the new policy, all men aged 17 and 60 who have not served in the empire are regarded as auxiliary logistics personnel, and they accept the jurisdiction of the army to implement a compulsory arbitration system for labor disputes in enterprises and factories. Workers’ committees are established in factories to assist in the implementation of the national service law."
While flipping through the case Bateman got up and turned his back on the wall, William I and William II busts said.
"oh! Mr. Prime Minister, although this plan was named’ Hindenburg Plan’ by Karl Heirlich, everyone knows that the army is behind it and that guy is ludendorff! "
The foreign minister was angry before he finished the "Hindenburg Plan". If careful people can find an interesting fact, there is a guy named ludendorff behind almost every naval political storm, and Heidi Selim of ludendorff first made contact with the Baltic Sea blockade fleet and gulf of riga to cover the landing plan. In the third naval political storm, Erpitz was outspoken. ludendorff was hiding y and n to seek a home, but now this careerist finally showed his fangs so sharp.
"Zheng f incarnation and the army didn’t pursue his negligence in the Paris War. ludendorff, this guy not only didn’t reflect on his impetuousness, but took advantage of Hindenburg’s prestige to make a comeback, under the pretext of naval competition for resources, to unite the army and hold a group to ask Zheng f incarnation for more administrative benefits. God, he is a soldier. What does he really want? ！”
After the end of the Paris War, ludendorff briefly stopped for a while. When Marshal Hindenburg succeeded Falkenhayn, he soon remembered his noisy but capable partner in the Eastern Command.
Of course, Marshal Hindenburg, who is also the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Army, can’t rely on ludendorff. The Paris War consumed a lot of imperial materials. In the first half of 1916, Germany was not at the beginning of the war. It was difficult to integrate and restore resources. Not many people can play with this rotten stall except ludendorff.
Ludendorff’s position is no less than that of General Falkenhayn, but he wants to be a good soldier. Heidi Selim has greater ambitions than ludendorff, and in front of him is the longest prime minister besides the old prime minister, Bateman Hollwich.
"It’s not ludendorff’s fault that our general Falkenhayn made a bad start. In German history, no one has ever held the positions of secretary of the army and chief of staff at the same time. After all, this uncontrolled monster was released by the emperor himself. Falkenhayn is a standard soldier. The problem of Falkenhayn’s main army’s benefit is not obvious. Marshal Hindenburg gave ludendorff the opportunity after the marshal’s weakness. After all, there is something wrong with our system!"
Different from the imperial foreign minister’s anger facing ludendorff’s pressure, the Prime Minister Bateman Hollwich showed a little light wind and clouds, and the Prime Minister Wen, nicknamed tinker by foreign colleagues, faced him practically.
"Mr. Prime Minister, we can’t continue to back down, otherwise zhèng fǔ incarnation will be framed by the army …"
In the previous step, the foreign minister focused on Bateman’s old face and urged
Over the past month or so, ludendorff has repeatedly interfered in administrative affairs under the pretext of material production. Obviously, the "Hindenburg Plan" is a step by step to kidnap all members of the entire empire, and to infiltrate the industry through compulsory arbitration system and workers’ committees, so as to control industry and crack down on society.
Falkenhayn’s similarity is not his bottom line, and his ambition may be much bigger than a German imagined.
"Once ambition is no longer necessary, where is the limit?"
Imperial Prime Minister Bateman Hollwich sat back on the sofa, dizzy, leaning against the sofa and tapping his fingers on the table. The drafted resignation was a sigh of a retired politician.
It’s not that Bateman doesn’t want to deal with ludendorff, but that he has lost the ability because he has repeatedly resisted the emperor’s militaristic policy, repeatedly criticized the emperor’s foreign policy, and repeatedly defended Heidi Selim, who kept the emperor awake at night. Bateman Hollwich was finally tired of being responsible for the emperor. Once the emperor’s care was gone, it was only a matter of time before the imperial prime minister added troops to oppose Taiwan.
"ludendorff’s radical policy has won over many war maniacs, and the emperor believes in him. Honestly, I have no way to stop him."
The foreign minister wanted to continue to persuade Prime Minister Bateman to work hard, but Bateman waved his hand gently,
"I don’t know what you mean, I want to say …" Bateman raised his head and looked through the half-closed curtain until the Mediterranean Sea was warm. "I want to say that if he can’t be stopped, then end this war. If this war can’t be stopped, then I will definitely set him a terrible opponent who will never die!"
"I’m a soldier and the empire needs to be a politician now. If I don’t want to be regarded as chess, I’d better stay in taranto, even if the Mediterranean powers think I’m an eyesore …" Wang Haidi unconsciously looked up and looked north.
With the declassification of the details of the naval battle in Ustica, the world’s sense of identity with Wang Haidi’s command ability has been further strengthened. It seems to them that Wang Haidi is an artist who can handle the naval battle with ease. After the naval battle, he looks as if he were separated from the top three Mediterranean allies. They don’t know if they should stamp their feet like this, and the Mediterranean will tremble with him.
"What if you return to the Iron Cross Flag warship?" Fresi, the old navy, asked himself to renew a cigarette.
After a moment of suffocation and silence, the old navy son touched the cigarette case and giggled.
"Haha, let me be a chess player …" Welcome, your support is my greatest motivation …
The second gun Chapter 20 Return to castle wolfenstein (3)
At the beginning of December, Berlin’s munitions director, the Prime Minister of the Empire, finally got a look at the political decision-making. In this protracted tug-of-war, ludendorff once again had the last laugh, but the Prime Minister Bateman Hollwich was defeated.
It’s like ludendorff didn’t want to pull him out of the stage with Falkenhayn at the end of the Paris War. He couldn’t wait to see the emperor speak frankly. If Falkenhayn was not deprived of his post, the morale of the army would collapse in a few months. This time, ludendorff moved out of clausewitz to prove that Prime Minister Bateman would bring the military law into full play.
Ludendorff won, and General Max Hoffman, commander of the Eastern Command, called him "an emotional, stubborn and J Ο ng tough member". ludendorff has a military command base and once again gained the right to intervene in matters of labor policy, food and raw materials. General ludendorff can intervene in all important aspects of civil affairs. He will replace this politician in a decent way in early 1917, and he will be a mediocre Prussian bureaucrat Michaelis.
In this tug-of-war, Emperor William played a disgraceful role. The Prime Minister of the Se Empire was in the hands of the Emperor. The Prime Minister of the Empire, who had a mixed history, would not have been defeated so quickly, and German history might have been rewritten. However, as historians have classic commented, "If the great Kaiser does not do something that harms others and does not benefit himself, he will not be our Kaiser."
Learning that Bateman decided to resign, Kaiser Wilhelm didn’t realize that he had loosened the shackles by himself. The last floodgate, the uncontrolled but ambitious scourge, Emperor Wilhelm naively revoked Falkenhayn’s post, which was widely expected. It was decided that Hindenburg and ludendorff would be Germany’s best military partners. Marshal Hindenburg hoped for dignity and unity, while ludendorff’s vigorous J Ο ng force and great drive. Setting up a headquarters at the front line could help him control the army well and avoid being left behind. His confidant Albert Bahrain was complacent.
"Thank God that old man who is always in the navy, Heidi Selim, is finally going to Taiwan!"
The news from Bateman Taiwan was very small, and the members of Liuge were concerned about the strength of the soldiers and the fatuity of the emperor. Only Foreign Minister Von Kuelman was unable to support himself, but Bateman Hollwich quickly made a fierce counterattack against the careerists.
I don’t know what you mean. I want to say that half a month ago, the angry foreign minister Von Qur Mambert Mann raised his head and looked through the curtain of the Prime Minister’s residence until the Mediterranean Sea was warm. I want to say that if he can’t be stopped, then the war will be ended. If the war can’t be stopped, then I will definitely set him up a terrible opponent who will never die!
(Gorgeous dividing line)
In December, Germany added a new term, peace, to the streets and lanes of Berlin, in addition to suffocating and the memory of the war that lasted for almost three years.
In the last two months of 1916, J Ο ng, the so-called last pure land on earth, sent a "peace messenger". Exhausted, Europe set off a whirlwind of American diplomacy, which was mired in Monroe Doctrine. American cowboys frequently visited allies and allies to seek the possibility of peace.
The real allies are more eager for war than people, but whether it is the French rooster or the British gentleman, they are all duplicitous and lead them to expand their troops and prepare for war while making wild demands on the Allies, which is even harsher than the Allies’ defeat and surrender. This is not to mention the Allies’ politicians. They also asked the Chinese media reporter Gao jǐng to pour the sewage that undermined the peace negotiations on the Allies at any time.
After a series of briefings, Americans were surprised to find that the Russian diplomatic stage was far more pure and lovely than that of Britain and France. Tsar Nicholas II never concealed his claim that he would make another personal expedition in early 1917 after the victory of the Eastern Front Campaign.
It has always been an eternal theme in the diplomatic circles to ask for exorbitant prices and pay back money. The American envoy turned to the Germans for negotiations because of hysteria. Although German Chancellor Bertman Hollwich and Foreign Minister Von Kuelman are both difficult angles, they will not make people crazy.
So the funniest scene in the diplomatic history of the war gap happened so openly. In the American Chapter 252, the Supreme Command of Military Command and Political Decision-making or the partner Hindenburg ludendorff, no one there thought whether ludendorff’s forcing politicians to submit to the will of the army really conformed to clausewitz’s famous saying that "war is political continuation"
"Then negotiate," said Wang Haidi, righting some dizzy heads.
"If I can stop the army from going crazy, I won’t let you come back to the muddy water easily." Bateman looked up slightly and continued with a wry smile. "There is no denying that ludendorff is an excellent strategist, a vibrant organizer and a tireless administrative official, but his ambition always keeps him from getting rid of extreme egoism and obstinacy. He can’t objectively evaluate the situation, but it happened that he has many supporters. I can’t stop his emperor William from weaving his own dream. The new prime minister, Michaelis, is Luden. Adorers of the theory of military strongman, the social ín zhǔ party is in a state of scattered sand. The empire lacks the will of the Supreme Command to fight against West Lyme. You are duty-bound! "
"Mr Bateman, I am a soldier!"
The Prime Minister pleaded that Wang Haidi almost jumped up from the sofa. Wang Haidi swore that he wanted to return to Germany to command the fleet to fight in the ocean. It was neither his long-cherished wish nor his ability to be a politician. Wang Haidi was destined to be a hero in his life, not a lean one!
The second gun Chapter 20 Return to castle wolfenstein (4)
Wang Haidi’s life did have some ups and downs in the last month of 1916.
First, Lei Deer and Berlin, Wei Gena, got drunk all night, but they were caught by Anne, the fierce wife. Although Wang tried his best to make a gesture of not being afraid of his wife, the room of Adelong Hotel played a bloody scene, but it completely confirmed Wang Haidi’s position in marriage.
The American delegation’s negotiation didn’t go well either. Roosevelt, the American naval negotiator, was not only a tough nut to crack, but also often engaged in unprofessional work. Most of Wang Haidi’s leisure time was discussed by the tireless J Ο ng, the powerful assistant secretary of the US Admiralty, such as building a "strong and capable navy".
Discuss what this does to build another powerful opponent for the ocean fleet. Wang Haidi is full of prison sā.
Roosevelt’s entanglement never stops. On Christmas Eve, a scene happened in the dry dock of kyrk Nuber Shipyard, which made Wang Haidi Yu Xian die. He couldn’t wait to cut off the emperor’s hand immediately with a ā knife.
On Christmas Eve, the Admiralty invited Wang Haidi, a veteran of the German Navy, to preside over the water ceremony of the Bavarian battleship No.3, mecklenburg. For some superstitious navies, the water ceremony of a new warship is not unimportant. Wang Haidi confidently delivered a toast to the wrong horse’s mouth, then grabbed the champagne and threw it at the bow of the mecklenburg. Perhaps Wang Haidi was too nervous and excited. The bottle always pinned the navy’s hopes and blessings on this warship. The champagne did not break, but rolled into the dry dock in an unusually gorgeous way.
Wang Haidi’s mistake made Se, the employee in charge of receiving this battleship, go through this accident. Everyone will think that this battleship was rejected by God. The fact also proves this point. The construction period of this expensive battleship was delayed again and again until the end of the war, and the outfitters failed to finish it. Finally, the slipway disintegrated on the spot and returned to the factory directly. Even after the "mecklenburg accident", even after Wang Haidi’s death, the head of the Navy Department of Guide did not invite Wang Haidi to preside over the new warship water ceremony.
After dragging the emperor’s hand to attend the Christmas Eve reception held at the Adelong Hotel near Paris Square, Wang Haidi took the military train to Kiel and went home to spend the long Christmas and New Year holidays with his family. Bateman’s political career has entered the countdown rhythm. Wang Haidi does not need to stay in Berlin to see the mystery and uncover the noisy scene.
Accompanied by the bell tower of the church near the seaside villa, it finally entered 1917, which made later historians crazy. 1917!
In January, there were still small snowflakes floating on the streets of Berlin. The snow on the road surface of Pushu Street in the black Se sedan drew two deep ruts and then drilled into Charlottenburg Palace.
This is the last time that Prime Minister Bateman Hollwich visited Charlottenburg Palace. Since 1999, the Prussian Prime Minister has finally ended his myth and submitted his resignation letter to Emperor William.
Emperor William’s room was wearing a marshal’s armband without epaulettes and his forefathers’ swords. As always, he was holding white Se gloves with his back turned to submit his resignation letter. The Prime Minister didn’t want to stay in a pretentious way. In the afternoon, Charlottenburg Palace suddenly became lively. After the grand banquet, the mediocre Prussian bureaucrat Michaelis Charlottenburg Palace was sworn in, so one era ended and another began.
