The telegram from the German Emperor made some changes in Ruprecht's plan. After making some arrangements with Prince Leopold for military mobilization in Bavaria, the prince and his entourage boarded the special train to Berlin. Before the war began, the German Emperor believed that it was necessary to let the commander of the second largest state of Germany come to Berlin.

The meeting was held at the German General Staff. In addition to the German Emperor, the Prime Minister and himself, there were the senior executives of the General Staff, as well as the commanders of a total of 9 armies. Among them, the First to Seventh Army was responsible for fighting against France on the Western Front, while the Eighth Army was responsible for defending East Prussia. The Bavarian Legion was listed separately. What surprised the prince was that this time, the commander of the Eighth Army was Markensen, which was a good news for the prince. If he had such a teammate, he would probably have much less trouble.

The meeting first discussed the issue of the Western Front. Generally speaking, Moltke once again introduced the combat plan and the tasks of various armies to the big guys. This process was very fast, and it could even be said to be a formality. After Moltke finished speaking, the German Emperor spoke: "Ruprecht, do you have anything else to say about the Western Front?"

"Our army can do some proper rest after arriving at the Belgian and French borders, because the railway line will not help us from the border area. After we get off the last track, we can only rely on vehicles and legs to take the last distance, which is deadly for the exhausted legion."

"The French will not sit idly by and watch their territory be occupied by us. They will mobilize legions to counterattack. The French also have armored units. The British heavy artillery is also very powerful. It has no advantage for us to be tired of offensive operations. However, if the Belgian railway system is repaired and our air force and heavy equipment can be transported to the front line, then we will have an advantage again. As long as the front lines of both sides have not yet been solidified, we will always make a profit."

"If our legion is blocked in the direction of Paris, we can actually try to develop southward. In this way, the leader of the front line will be more and the strength density of both sides will decrease. This is a good thing for us who have air superiority and armored unit advantages." Ruprecht said.

This meeting was a mobilization meeting before the station. The prince naturally could not say that your plan would definitely fail, but he still tactfully proposed some plans that seemed quite conservative to outsiders. As for whether the other party listened or not, it was not something he could do.

"Do you have any new ideas about the battle on the Eastern Front?" asked the German Emperor.

"I can't control the Austro-Hungarian Army. I believe that the Eighth Army can still defend East Prussia. Within one month of war, I will defeat the two Russian armies opposite me. There is no problem. Then, depending on the situation, I may continue to attack east or go north." Ruprecht said.

"It seems that you have great confidence in yourself." The German Emperor said with a smile. "What do you think of the Austrians?"

"If you defend, there may not be any major problems, but if you want to attack, they are not the opponents of the Russians, especially the four legions in the north and the two legions in the Balkans are simply terrible." Ruprecht said.

"Your Highness, if you can, after you defeat the enemy in front, I hope we can cooperate to defeat the Russians' Northwest Front Army. We built a double-track railway in East Prussia. Your army can enter East Prussia smoothly and then launch an attack on the Russians from the flanks. And your army that attacks Russian Poland can also attack the rear of the Russians. If successful, we can include half of Russian Poland in our hands." Markensen said suddenly.

"This is a very attractive plan, but I cannot reply now, because we don't know the situation on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If our allies have no objection, we can cooperate." The prince said.

After the Army meeting ended, the Navy also held a pre-war meeting. After Ruprecht and the German Emperor left the Prussian General Staff, they immediately went to the Navy. There were also a lot of things waiting to be dealt with here.

Compared with the radical and proactive strategies and tactics of the Army, the Navy has to be more conservative. In Tirpitz's plan, the Navy's mission for the first two months was to send submarines to break through and to start defending and laying mines in its own waters. Subsequently, the main fleet will conduct limited attack actions. Of course, how to do it depends on the situation...

"This plan basically means there is no plan!" Ruprecht said with some dissatisfaction.

"I still think that the two warships produced for Argentina should implement Plan B. Although it is a bit risky, the benefits are huge. Even if we can only succeed once, it will be enough."

"Secondly, we must take action on the North Sea blockade line. Even if the risks are relatively high, we will do whatever we want to fight in the long sea. Not only do we need to use submarines, but also the main ships must be dispatched. Of course, the navy can collect intelligence in the first two months, but then the blockade fleet must be attacked."

"Don't always think about bombarding a few unguarded cities. The damage we cause to them may not be greater than the loss and fuel consumption of our warships. And doing so will also have great risks. In the long sea, our maneuver space will be greater."

"As for the direction of the Baltic Sea, we must take offensive mine laying and submarine warfare. Lay the foundation for large-scale operations in the Baltic Sea in the future. Long-term burnout will cause an extremely fatal blow to morale. Only continuous victory can keep the army high in fighting spirit."

Although Germany took the lead in this plane, the gap between the fleets between the two sides was still very huge during the war. At present, in addition to the two super fearless ships built for Argentina, there are a total of 18 main battleships in the German High Seas Fleet. However, three of them are preparing for the dock, so the number has further declined. The British main battleships now have more than 2 dozen, and various armored cruisers, light cruisers, and front dreadnoughts are larger in scale. Therefore, even if there are major actions, we have to wait for the three battleships prepared for the dock to come out and talk.

However, even so, the prince believed that small-scale high-speed warships were needed to attack, especially to break the blockade, the shipping companies registered overseas by the German Empire and Americans would transport materials to the Allies as much as possible, but the premise was that the German fleet would weaken the British maritime blockade line as much as possible.

"This suggestion is very good. Tirpitz, you should consider it carefully." The German Emperor said at last.
