"There are so many people coming today. It seems that this time I really have to be serious." When Ruprecht stepped into the gate of the Wuyou Palace again, the prince was also secretly amazed at the lineup of the meeting. Before that, although the prince had communicated with the German senior officials, the scope of the exchange was not very large, and he was more in a private identity with the emperor. But this time it was different. The major states and the senior military leaders of the Prussian military came. This is the official occasion. Every sentence and every decision must be made, recorded, and then executed.

The prince who had already sat down began to observe the others in the venue, sitting on the left hand of the German Emperor, opposite to him was the German Crown Prince William (well, the same title as Emperor William, and the Crown Prince was referred to as the later one.)**** As the representative of Germany's second largest state, he sat on the right hand of the first row.

On the left side of the second row is Albrecht, the Duke of Württemberg. He represents the Kingdom of Württemberg. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Fourth German Army in history, responsible for the army of the Kingdom of Württemberg. On the right side of the second row is the representative of the Saxony royal family. The prince is not very familiar with this person. (Okay, the author cannot find it.)

The representatives of the four kingdoms are located in front, and behind is the representative of the military. Moltke Jr. sat on the left hand of the third row as the Chief of Staff of the Prussian General. He was the developer and implementer of the Prussian war plan. Opposite is the Minister of State Tirpitz, who represents the German Navy.

On the left side of the fourth row is General Helingen, the Minister of the Prussian War. He was also the commander of the Seventh Army of Prussia. On the right side is General Von Boer, the commander of the German High Seas Fleet. The two came from the front lines of the army and the navy respectively. Among them, General Helingen was the commander of the Seventh Army of Germany in history.

"Everyone, everyone knows the reason why I call you here, right? Just yesterday, the Russians betrayed the covenant with the German Empire. They threw away the treaty of the Three Emperors like a rag and threw it into the arms of Britain and France. At this point, a noose that strangled the German Empire had been put on our necks. We had no choice but to fight back in such a situation! So, from today on, we must prepare for this war." The German Emperor's opening remark set the tone of the entire meeting.

This meeting was definitely not something that everyone had discussed, but it was more like everyone was discussing it, and then the prepared plan was published and implemented. Before the meeting, the prince did not attend many meetings on various rights distribution within Germany. **** could feel that the German Emperor attached great importance to core rights. Even if he had a good personal relationship with him, the German Emperor still had to exclude himself from the highest level at this critical moment.

"In the eyes of the German Emperor, I can serve as the commander of an army or front army, but my position in the General Staff is still far behind!" said the prince in his heart.

"First of all, I need to emphasize that the German Imperial Army was still too small to cope with the needs of future wars. Once, General Hellingen was unwilling to expand his army because he was worried about the decline in the proportion of nobles among officers. But now, I want to say that the decline in the proportion of nobles is still tolerated compared to the danger of defeat. Therefore, in the future, the German Imperial Empire must establish an imperial army system based on the establishment of nine armies. At the beginning of the war, we must be able to mobilize more than 1.8 million troops! Among them, seven armies will be concentrated on the Eastern Front, while the other two armies will be used to guard the eastern border and support the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The specific expansion plan and organization will be responsible for the Prussian Chief of Staff, Moltke Xiao."

"Second, the Imperial Navy may need to be expanded. The current fleet size is not enough to be under the pressure of the British Royal Navy, nor is it enough to ensure the safety of the offshore security of the German Empire and the completion of the task of controlling the Baltic Sea. In the future, the fleet size needs to be expanded. The specific shipbuilding plan and naval strategies and tactics are responsible for Tirpitz and Ruprecht." The army is the foundation of the military power of the German Empire, and Prussia is very arrogant about its army and thinks that it can be done well without others' intervention. However, William II is not so confident about the navy, so they need to cooperate with the prince.

"Third, regarding the issues of armored vehicles and the air force, in order to ensure the consistency of equipment and logistics supply, all German troops except the Bavarian Legion should purchase armored vehicles from arms companies such as Krupp and Rheinmetall, and in terms of aircraft, each state can freely choose."

Although the newborn beasts have not yet sharpened their minions, they have already made people feel their strength. It has become a consensus among the top leaders of the German military that a large number of armored vehicles are equipped with reconnaissance and attack tasks. However, who will produce those vehicles is not a simple question. The large number of chariots produced in Bavaria that are slow, heavy, have better performance but are expensive are not suitable for the Western Front in the German Emperor's opinion, because the German army on the Western Front is larger in scale. If these chariots are all equipped, the cost will be astronomical. What's more, the German Emperor was also uneasy about this very important equipment being held in the hands of a country.

Therefore, taking advantage of the reconciliation between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Imperial arms enterprises and reaching an agreement, the German Emperor decisively demanded that all German military equipment besides the Kingdom of Bavaria be produced by the Prussian company. For this reason, the German Emperor did not communicate with the prince at the beginning. According to the prince's idea, at least the Kingdom of Württemberg should have the right to choose independently, right? But it is obvious that the German Emperor did not give it to him this time.

Regarding the aircraft problem? At this time, the German senior management did not realize the importance of the aircraft. In the eyes of the German Emperor, this war machine that broke away from the constraints of the earth and could fly in the air was a good accessory for the army. With the idea that meat should be eaten by itself and soup could be distributed to other countries, the German Emperor decisively let go of a hole in the aviation industry.

"It's true that being a king is not as comfortable as an emperor." Ruprecht said in his heart.

"That's good, do you have any questions now?" After a moment, the German Emperor politely asked, and seemed to be asking everyone for their opinions.

"What should we do if the command of the Eastern Front is? If the Russians launch an attack on the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bavaria, the Bavarian Legion and the Austro-Hungarian Empire military can coordinate and then perform combat missions independently. However, if the Russians choose to put the breakthrough direction in East Prussia, what should we do?" At this time, the prince naturally cannot be entangled in the issue of military product share, and this issue is not important compared to the command of the Eastern Front.
