Iron Germany

In the German Empire, Qin Tian has undoubtedly become a legend. From an ordinary prince without a penny, he became the crown prince of the empire in a very short period of time, and I don't know how many people looked at him. What really makes people talk about is undoubtedly Qin Tian's talent in business.

From the earliest established Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company to the present huge Deutsche Industrial Group, Qin Tian's personal assets have exceeded 500 million marks. Such assets may not be considered the richest man in Germany. However, Deutsche Industries Group's ability to make money makes everyone jealous. From the German Welfare Lottery, which seems to be stealing money, to the Daimler Motor Company, which is popular all over the world, the annual profit is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

In the capitalist world, the importance of money is self-evident. Even the emperor of the empire has to worship under the beauty of money. Qin Tian, ​​the crown prince, has a large amount of funds, which naturally gives him an advantage in many issues.

For example, now, Xiao Maoqi wants to use military expenses to pinch Qin Tian's neck. Qin Tian said that the extra military expenses can be borne by himself, and he can push him back with a single sentence. Anyway, for Qin Tian, ​​paying the extra military expenses of the 8th Army was nothing more than a trifle.

Little Mao Qi and Prittwitz stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths, but they couldn't say anything.

"Damn it! Damn Oscar, don't think he can do whatever he wants with a few filthy money!" Little Mao Qi was furious.

"His Royal Highness, you are rich, that's right. However, if you invest in military expenses privately, it may not be very good." Little Maoqi said.

"That's right! How can private money be confused with military spending?" Prittwitz also yelled.

"Your Highness actively supports the development of the army. What's wrong with that?" Von Falkenhain immediately stated.

"Okay, since Oscar is capable of supporting the construction of the army, let him do it!" William II finally expressed his opinion.

Little Mao Qi and Plittwitz were very unwilling, but that was the end of the conversation, and it was useless for them to say anything else. In addition, the two are not fools, and they can naturally feel the attitude of William II. Obviously, William II was inclined towards Qin Tian.

"Damn it, His Majesty obviously supports Oscar. If this continues, even if the investigation results are not good for Oscar, I'm afraid he won't be able to drive him out of the Eighth Army." Prittwitz was worried.

At this moment, little Maoqi gave him a wink. Prittwitz hesitated for a moment, but he still bite the bullet and opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, although His Majesty has the money to support the construction of the army. However, the reforms he implemented in the Eighth Army cannot be determined to be correct. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. According to our battle plan, after the outbreak of war, The absolute main force of the Army is used on the Western Front. The Eastern Front is only supported by the 8th Army. Once the 8th Army is unable to resist, the entire Eastern Front will collapse. This will lead to the overall strategy of the empire A major mistake made the empire lose the war. Therefore, I don’t think we can take such a risk. At least, we can’t take risks until the war is won.” Lieutenant General Prittwitz said.

Such a remark was obviously not what Plittwitz could have imagined, but it was what Little Maoqi told him. When necessary, let Lieutenant General Plitvitz raise it. Of course, Lieutenant General Prittwitz also knew that after saying these words, he would undoubtedly offend Qin Tian to death, and even make William II hate him. However, because of the hatred for Qin Tian in his heart, Lieutenant General Prittwitz no longer cared about thinking about those things.

"My reforms will not cause the Eighth Army to collapse, but will only further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Army. By then, the Eighth Army will be able to withstand the Russian attack and buy more time for the Western Front. "Qin Tian said confidently.

"His Royal Highness, of course you can say that. However, there is no basis for words. How can others believe this? After all, once defeated, the consequences will be too serious, and no one can afford such consequences." Xiao Mao Qi also said darkly.

Suddenly, Qin Tian was cornered.

Although Qin Tian firmly believes that his military system reform can make the 8th Army more powerful, this cannot be proved. After all, it can only be proved by passing the test on the battlefield. And the war has not yet broken out, so naturally there is no way to prove it.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you have gone too far. How can the Crown Prince prove this?" Von Falkenhain said angrily.

In his opinion, the two Lieutenant Generals Mo Qi and Plitvice were really shameless. Actually, on this issue, he couldn't let go.

"If you want to prove it, it's actually very simple. Wait until the reform of the military system of the Eighth Army is completed, and then conduct an exercise." General Waldsee suggested.

"There is an essential difference between drills and actual combat. The results of the drills are also unreliable." Little Maoqi shook his head.

William II frowned tightly. Xiao Maoqi's aggressive attitude made him very dissatisfied. One is his playmate, the other is his son, which makes it difficult for him to make a choice. On the other hand, there is a huge difference in the power of the emperors in the East and the West. Western emperors seem to have a lot of power, but a lot of power is restricted and they cannot do whatever they want.

Qin Tian's complexion was not very good-looking either. He knew that little Moqi would make trouble for him, but he didn't expect the other party to be so persistent.

After being silent for a while, Qin Tian smiled: "Well, I guarantee that in future wars, the 8th Army will resist the Russians' attack and buy time for the Western Front. Of course, according to the Schlieffen Plan, the 8th Army will The 8th Corps only needs to last for six to eight weeks. I think there should be no problem with that."

"Your Highness, what guarantee do you have?" Xiao Moqi asked with narrowed eyes.

"If I fail to do so, I will voluntarily give up the right to inherit the throne. In this case, you should be satisfied, right?" Qin Tian looked at Xiao Maoqi and said coldly.

"what?"

Everyone was stunned, including William II. Everyone did not expect that Qin Tian would even block his crown prince position. This is too crazy. If you lose a promise made in front of so many people, you can't go back on it.

Even Xiao Maoqi and Prittwitz did not expect Qin Tian to say such a thing.
