Germany, Berlin, Imperial Conference.

Today's participants included the Crown Prince, Prince of East Prussia, Secretary of the Army Falkenhein, Chief of General Staff Moltzer, Deputy Chief of General Staff Waldze, and Army generals Cluke, Bilo, Hausen, Mawitz, etc.

"Everyone here is the pillar of the Imperial Army!" The emperor's first words made the atmosphere on the scene look very solemn and dignified.

"We have always tried to win respect for the nationality and spirit of Germany throughout the earth, which it deserves, but has not been given to it so far! To achieve this goal, only one method is allowed to be adopted, that is, to show our strength to gain respect from all people. We praise 'blood and steel', we praise 'shiny armor', and we must use 'fists wrapped in iron armor' to obtain the territory under the sun!"

When the German Emperor said this, the generals present tried their best to applaud, and some even began to shout slogans of iron and blood. It took a while before the emperor could tell everyone to calm down.

"The French were defeated by us in 1870. They were humiliated on their own land, but continued to expand their territory all over the world. People who worship art in the world still worship at the feet of Paris. This is unfair! The soul, strength, energy, hard work and national morality of our Germans are outstanding. We are the leader of Europe. The great cause will be completed when the color is the one that will be done!"

The whole hall finally boiled, and the generals shouted, "France must be turned into dust, so that it cannot surpass my thunder again", "It must be a devastating blow to never become a powerful." Lian Chentian felt a sense of passion, and this was indeed a nation that never gave in.

After the emperor's speech, Chief of General Staff Moltke Jr. began to announce the newly revised Schliffen plan to everyone.

"Once the war between the Empire and France breaks out, we will mobilize 2 million troops and start war against France on the Western Front and Russia on the Eastern Front. On the Western Front, we will invest 35 corpses about 1.5 million troops to attack France, while the four corpses of the East Prussian Legion on the Eastern Front are responsible for defending the Russians. On the Western Front, the left wing forces plan to invest 8 corpses 300,000 troops to guard positions in the Alsace and Lorraine areas south of Metz; the middle route arranges 11 corpses 400,000 troops to attack France through Luxembourg and Arden; the right wing arranges 16 corpses 800,000 troops to attack Liège and Namur fortresses, cross the Maas River and enter the wilderness area, and go straight to the remote straight road. On the Eastern Front, the East Prussian Legion guards the eastern border to fight Russia until most of the troops can be transferred to meet the second enemy."

The little Moltke is tall and burly, and is the nephew of the veteran Moltke in the French-Prussian War. This man is always frowning and melancholy, and is called the "pathetic Caesar". Relying on his uncle's protection, his military post has been promoted continuously, first as Schliffen's assistant, and then as Schliffen's successor. The little Moltke does not have the courage to concentrate on his full efforts in one battle. Schliffen was "to be bold, be bold", but he "don't be too bold". He was worried that his left-wing power on the Western Front could not resist the French attack, but he was afraid that he would be left to defend East Prussia.

The troops were weak and could not resist the Germans. Schlieffen's plan was preserved, but for the sake of foolproof, Moltke had to attack Schlieffen's last resort every year and borrow troops from the right wing to strengthen the left wing. Chen Tian was extremely dissatisfied with this, especially when Little Moltke planned to draw four corps from the right wing to strengthen the Eastern Front, Chen Tian even had a big fight with him, which forced Little Moltke not to pull troops from the poor right wing again. However, this modification, he actually canceled the invasion of the Netherlands, which would force two armies on the right wing to pass through the narrow Liege Fortress area.

"Your Majesty!" When Chen Tian stood up, the generals present frowned and started quarreling again! They all felt very strange why the Prince of East Prussia always had one or another opinion on the Schlieffen plan revised by the Chief of General Staff.

The emperor also looked like a headache, but he still waved his hand to signal Chen Tian to express his opinion.

The little Moltke on the side was eager to try and was ready to jump up and refute Chen Tian at any time.

"I object to the Chief of General Staff's cancellation of the details of Schliffen's plan to bypass the Netherlands' attack on Brussels, so that the Belgians are likely to use the Liege Fortress to drag our main force and at the same time shrink the army and defend Brussels with all their strength. In that way, we must divide our troops to attack Brussels again after the next day!"

"Dear Prince, do you think those Belgian sheep really dare to fight our powerful German army? Even if they dare to resist, we can destroy them in a very short time!"

"His Excellency Chief of Staff, don't underestimate a nation's determination to resist. We must extinguish their hopes at the fastest speed, that is, to attack them on both sides of the Derby border and the Holby border!" Chen Tian stood up and refuted Xiao Moltke's words in a tit-for-tat way.

"Your Highness Prince! Don't forget that our army attacked Belgium has 34 divisions, and there are only 6 divisions in Belgium. We can even trample them with our feet!" Little Moltke was already a little excited, and he began to slap the table and increase the volume of his speech.

"Yes! Invasion of the Netherlands will give our enemies another excuse to criticize us. Besides, I also think the Belgians will give up the passage obediently!" The emperor jumped out and declared that Chen Tian's opposition was invalid.

Oh my God! This group of people was so confident, just to the point of being conceited! Chen Tian sat back on the chair depressedly. He didn't want to see many German soldiers with no war experience sacrificing themselves in Belgium before they even set foot on the land of France. Belgium's tenacious resistance came from the firm belief in defending neutrality by the king and the people, as well as the commitment from Britain and France to them.

"Your Majesty, there is still a little more..." Xiao Maoqi glanced at Chen Tian, ​​and could not help but suggest to the emperor that he would dispatch 1-2 corps from the right wing of the Western Front to strengthen the Eastern Front.

"Oppose!" Seeing this guy getting more and more aggressive, Chen Tian jumped up again.

"Your Highness, are you really sure to use 200,000 troops to resist twice or even three times your attack?" Xiao Moltke was afraid that Chen Tian would drag the plan down.

"Of course! You should believe in the strength of me and the East Prussian Legion. My Legion has excellent aircraft troops and the only thousands of veterans in Germany who have practical experience at present!" Chen Tian sometimes really wants to send a sniper to kill this timid guy, but it is unreasonable for a prince to kill the chief of staff of his country due to differences of opinion.

"Can those toys stop the crazy Cossack cavalry? Practical experience? After the war begins, we will soon have a large number of outstanding soldiers with practical experience!" Little Moltke looked disdainful.

"You...the actual combat experience is exchanged for soldiers' blood and lives!"

"Okay, don't argue anymore! One is the prince and the other is the chief of staff. The two of them have to argue constantly every time. What does it look like?" The emperor couldn't stand the quarrel between them and slapped the table angrily.

The whole world finally calmed down. After a while, the emperor sat down and told Chen Tian in a more relaxed tone that his objection was invalid again.

"Jiji, the Chief of Staff's words make sense. Your legion is indeed a little weak. We need absolute security on the Eastern Front!"

"Yes, your majesty! But I don't want to draw troops from the Western Front. I suggest that a 50,000 armored force will be formed in the East Prussian Army, which will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Front. In addition, I suggest that half a year later, the Chief of Staff will lead the 500,000 troops to exercise with my East Prussian Army. If he can win, I agree to mobilize troops from the Western Front to strengthen the defense of the Eastern Front."

"Okay, just exercise. I don't believe that my 500,000 unit will lose to your 250,000 unit!" Before the emperor could speak, Xiao Moltke was in a hurry to take on Chen Tian's challenge. The continuous quarrels made him feel angry.

"Okay! I agree to allocate special funds to establish armored forces in the East Prussian Legion!" Although the emperor was not very clear about the power of the armored forces, there was no harm in adding a regular force of 50,000 people. More importantly, the quarrel could finally be calmed.

50,000 armored troops, hum! Let’s see how I can rush you to the end! Chen Tian looked at Xiao Maoqi proudly.

One week later, when the emperor saw Chen Tian’s report on the armored force formation plan, he was really shocked, because the cost of forming an armored force was almost five times that of an infantryman of the same number, and the amount of daily expenses was even greater. However, he knew that a gentleman could not pursue a word, so he had to bite the bullet and approve it.

The 50,000 fast armored troops spent millions of marks of military spending in the Army Department, which also made the Secretary of the Army Falkenhein complain. However, half a year later, when he saw the huge power of the troops, he knew that the money was worth it.
Chapter completed!
