Chapter 300: last effort
??The German General Staff, Xiao Moqi is still the chief of the German General Staff, so he still stays here to work. However, because the Battle of the Marne failed to achieve the expected results, Germany became more and more dissatisfied with Moltke, and even William II's attitude towards Moltke had undergone a fundamental change. This made many people feel that Xiao Maoqi's chief of staff might not last long.
??Even Xiao Maoqi himself has no confidence in the future. Before launching the Battle of the Marne, he undoubtedly had great confidence in this battle, thinking that he would definitely be able to take this opportunity to defeat the British and French allied forces and achieve a major breakthrough on the Western Front. But I didn't expect that it would end up like this.
??However, Little Moltke did not submit his resignation to William II after the Battle of the Marne like in another time and space. Because, in another time and space, the heir to the empire is still Crown Prince William. The relationship between Little Maoqi and Crown Prince William is very close, which makes Little Maoqi not worried about how much impact he will be affected after resigning.
??However, this space-time is completely different. In this time and space, Qin Tian, ??the fake Prince Oscar, became the crown prince of the empire. And the relationship between Xiao Maoqi and Qin Tian is like fire and water. Xiao Maoqi has no doubts at all, once he loses the power in his hands, Qin Tian will definitely not let him go. Therefore, the current little Moqi doesn't want to lose the power in his hands. Besides, he was originally a person who missed power very much.
?? "Your Excellency, General Prittwitz is here." The secretary reported to Little Moltke.
?? "Well, let him come in." Little Moqi nodded.
??Although Plittwitz's ability and character made Little Moltke very despised, but also as the favorite of William II, the relationship between Little Moltke and Plittwitz is still very good. What's more, they all have a common enemy, that is Qin Tian. The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend, which makes the relationship between Little Mao Qi and Plittwitz very close.
?? "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff." After Plittwitz entered the office, he saluted Little Mao Qi.
?? "Sit down, General Prittwitz." Little Moltke said.
??The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and after Little Mao Qi's secretary left, Prittwitz immediately stopped the topic just now.
?? "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Oscar is back," Plittwitz said.
??Little Mao Qi nodded, he knew the news. The 8th Army won a brilliant victory on the Eastern Front. Kaiser Wilhelm II summoned Qin Tian to report to Berlin. However, this is not good news for him. The better Qin Tian and the 8th Army performed on the Eastern Front, the more he consigned his incompetence. This also made his situation even more precarious.
??Of course, Qin Tian and the Eighth Army's achievements on the Eastern Front, even Xiao Maoqi, Qin Tian's enemy, had to admire them. Originally, because of the defeat on the Western Front, Germany's situation became very critical. Even Xiao Maoqi asserted that Germany might have lost the war. However, the dazzling performance on the Eastern Front enabled Germany to once again gain the upper hand. Even, there may not be no chance of turning defeat into victory.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, why are you not in a hurry at all! That guy Oscar is in the same situation as you! When he returns to Berlin this time, he will definitely take the opportunity to speak ill of you in front of His Majesty. At that time, you How can you be the chief of the general staff! If you are replaced by His Majesty, the consequences will be unimaginable." Prittwitz was a little out of breath.
??Plittwitz knew that there was no room for maneuver in his relationship with Qin Tian. Therefore, he has always looked down upon Qin Tianhao. Now, Qin Tian's performance is already too dazzling. If Xiao Maoqi loses power again, no one will be able to check and balance Qin Tian. At that time, it would be easier for Qin Tian to deal with him than to crush an ant to death.
?? And this is not what Prittwitz wants to happen. He still wants to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, and even climb to a higher position.
?? "Whether I will continue to serve as the Chief of Staff is not decided by Oscar, but by His Majesty. His Majesty's attitude cannot be influenced by anyone." Xiao Maoqi said.
"However, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff. Today's Oscar is different from the past! His words carry a lot more weight. If he doesn't think about it, His Majesty may really be deceived by him." Prithvi Ci tried hard to persuade.
??After listening to Prittwitz's words, Little Moltke hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
?? "Okay, I'll go to see His Majesty right away. Make another effort. If Your Majesty has already made the final decision, then there is no other way!" Little Maoqi said.
?? "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, His Majesty will forgive you for the sake of past friendship." Prittwitz beamed with joy.
??When little Maoqi arrived at the palace, William II had just finished his official duties and was resting. When the waiter told him that little Maoqi asked to see him, William II hesitated. In fact, he had already made a decision to replace Little Mao Qi. However, when he thought of the friendship between him and Little Maoqi, he still felt a little guilty.
??When he was young, he had a very good relationship with Little Mao Qi. The two even supported each other. Now, this friendship is finally coming to an end.
?? "Let him in!" said William II.
?? "Yes, Your Majesty."
?? Soon, Little Moltke walked into William II's office.
?? "Your Majesty!" Little Maoqi saluted King William II respectfully.
"sit down!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is back? The performance of His Highness the Crown Prince and the 8th Army on the Eastern Front is really amazing and unbelievable. The 8th Army alone has less than 200,000 troops , can wipe out the four armies of the Russian army, nearly 900,000 people, and the crisis on the eastern front of the empire has been resolved for the most part. It also makes the unfavorable situation that the empire is now facing a fundamental turning point." Little Mao Qi He spoke highly of the performance of Qin Tian and the 8th Army.
??King William II shook his head involuntarily. He was very clear about the relationship between Mao Qi and Qin Tian, ??and the relationship between the two was almost on fire. Now, little Mao Qi was able to say such a thing, what his purpose was, William II also knew clearly. However, even if Little Maoqi had such a change, he would not change his decision.
