Jagged Germany

  The news that the German 8th Army annihilated a Russian army group in one fell swoop in the Battle of Tannenburg and wiped out more than 150,000 enemies was reported to the German General Staff, War Department and Kaiser Wilhelm II immediately.

  When the news report came up, Wilhelm II was listening to the progress of the war at the General Staff, and the Minister of War von Falkenhain was also here. Therefore, the three of them knew the news almost at the same time.

  The current battle situation is generally beneficial to Germany. The German army has made a breakthrough on the Western Front. Although the Belgians are still resisting, the passage has been opened. The main force of the German army can pass through Belgium and attack France from the north of France. Although, it took a lot of time and lost a lot of troops. But the German army still firmly holds the initiative in this war.

   Therefore, William II is still in a relatively good mood. Xiao Maoqi, the chief of the general staff, had his power further expanded during the war. This also made him very satisfied. If he can command the German army to win this battle, then he will definitely be promoted to marshal. Even after retiring from active service, his status is still lofty. Even if Qin Tian succeeds to the throne and becomes the emperor of the empire, nothing can be done to him.

   "What? The 8th Army won on the Eastern Front and wiped out more than 150,000 enemies? God! How is this possible?" William II couldn't believe it himself. You know, in this war, what he was most worried about was that the 8th Army would not be able to withstand the Russian attack. In that case, it will inevitably have a great adverse impact on Germany's overall strategy. But now it seems that the 8th Army has undoubtedly given him a great surprise. Not only resisted the attack of the Russian army, but also won the battle, which really surprised him. It also made all the doubts in his heart disappear at once.

  Little Maoqi’s face changed a lot. Originally, he also thought that the 8th Army might be caught in a bitter battle on the Eastern Front. Even if it barely resisted the Russian attack, it would suffer heavy losses. At that time, he can let the prepared troops enter the Eastern Front battlefield and appear as a savior, thereby taking over the Eastern Front battlefield and exempting Qin Tian from controlling the army.

   It can be said that Little Maoqi imagined everything very well. However, the current result gave him a slap in the face.

   "Congratulations, Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won on the Eastern Front, which undoubtedly means that the threat to us from the Russians is minimal. We can boldly use the main force to attack France." Von Falkenhain said. He had also been worried about the Eastern Front. Although, Qin Tian is very confident about the war. But these old people who have experienced countless wars are not so optimistic. Now, Qin Tian's 8th Army won the victory on the Eastern Front, and the heart that had been hanging over him was finally put back in his stomach.

"Hmph! Your Excellency the Minister of War, it's too early to say this now. I doubt very much how the Eighth Army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won the victory so easily? You know, the Russians used it to attack the northwest of East Prussia. The front army has more than 500,000 people. Even if the fighting power of the Russians is too poor, it is impossible to win easily." Little Maoqi shook his head.

  The faces of Wilhelm II and von Falkenhain have become unsightly. Xiao Maoqi was simply questioning Qin Tian's lie about the military situation. This is almost a very serious crime in Germany, where military laws are strict. If Qin Tian really did this, William II could even use this to depose Qin Tian from the position of crown prince.

  However, William II still believed in Qin Tian. He believed that Qin Tian would not cheat on this issue. Once found out, the consequences will be very serious.

   "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you are slandering His Highness the Crown Prince. How could His Highness the Crown Prince do such a thing?" von Falkenhain accused.

   "Minister of War, I didn't slander His Highness the Crown Prince, I just raised doubts. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince can't doubt it?" Xiao Maoqi said forcefully.

  King Wilhelm II took a deep look at little Maoqi. He now believed that the conflict between little Maoqi and Qin Tian had become more and more acute, and had even had an impact on the ongoing war in Germany.

   "It seems that it's time to solve this problem!" William II secretly made up his mind.

   "Come here, go and find out the real situation of the Battle of Tannenberg." William II gave the order with a dark face.

  Little Maoqi saw William II's face, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. However, things have already happened, no matter how much he can make up for it, he can't make up for it. Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and walk all the way to the dark.

  William II used the royal family's intelligence system to find out the details of the Battle of Tannenberg in only half an hour.

  After William II read the detailed report, the anger on his face finally dissipated, and even a smile appeared on his face.

   "Let's all take a look!" Wilhelm II handed the report to Little Moltke and von Falkenhain.

  After Xiao Moqi read the report, his face was already dark as if it was the bottom of a pot. He also has some regrets now, he jumped out to question Qin Tian if he knew about it. It's all right now, how can I take back what I said! Moreover, offending William II this time is obviously not worth the candle!

  Von Falkenhain laughed out loud.

   "Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, what else do you have to say now?" Von Falkenhain looked at little Mao Qi provocatively.

"Your Excellency the Minister of War, it seems that I was wrong to blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, the 8th Army is just the 2nd Army that defeated the Russian Army, and there is also the 1st Army that is more powerful. They sent additional troops to the front line. Therefore, the pressure on the 8th Army is still very high." Xiao Maoqi was still stubborn.

  Von Falkenhain smiled and said nothing more.

William II shook his head: "Let's ignore the Eastern Front for the time being. I believe that Oscar will be able to win on the Eastern Front. The originally reserved troops should all be used on the Western Front. The western front is the key."

  William II didn't want to waste any more time on this issue, and made a decision directly.

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Although Xiao Moqi was a little unwilling, he still nodded and stopped objecting.

  Little Mao Qi knew it himself, because of today's incident, William II's dissatisfaction with him has increased. But he didn't find the reason on himself, but attributed everything to Qin Tian, ​​and he hated Qin Tian even more.
