Finally, Germany was unified just a dozen years ago.

But within the alliance, there have always been different opinions.

Especially the eldest Duke of Winter in Bavaria, he actually has the possibility of becoming the emperor of the empire.

if only……

Frederick held his breath, knowing that Duke Winter's purpose would not be so simple.

But he was also helpless, because what Duke Winter said was very reasonable.

Spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of lives for an attack that was destined to be unwinnable was a disaster for the imperial armed forces.

What's more, even Moltke, the organizer of the battle, had no confidence in victory.

"I agree!" Duke Winter said reluctantly.

"For such a battle that was almost impossible to win, the Prussian Empire spent a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources!

The number of Prussian soldiers gathered on the front line reached an unprecedented number of 1.5 million.

This was the largest army Prussia could muster in a single battle.

But what did we get?

A shameful failure!

There is also a situation where we are unable to advance or retreat!

Who is responsible for this? Who is responsible for the 100,000 fallen soldiers?

Who is responsible for poor Rundstedt?" Duke Winter roared like a tiger.

His words were so loud that the entire conference room could hear them.

Bismarck squinted his eyes and smelled something unusual.

No one spoke, everyone looked at Duke Winter.

This is a showdown between big guys. If the little guys get involved rashly, they will be crushed into pieces.

"Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, can you tell me who is responsible for this damn, doomed battle plan?"

Duke Winter looked at Moltke with a sinister look, like a bad wolf looking at a dog.

Moltke's teeth were almost in his mouth, but he could not argue.

The empire lost 100,000 elite men in World War I, not 100,000 pigs. Of course, someone must be responsible.

Although he was prepared in his heart, Moltke did not expect that Duke Winter would personally jump in and take charge.

In terms of status and position, Moltke was not qualified to integrate with Duke Winter.

But when Duke Winter pressed him, he couldn't pretend to be an ostrich.

Frederick and Bismarck wanted to help him, but there was no way out.

"I am responsible. I will resign from the post of Chief of the Imperial General Staff." Moltke reluctantly submitted his resignation at the Supreme Council of the Empire.

"Very good, you are very responsible. But this is not enough. You and your staff have to leave the empire's general staff.

We cannot allow a group of incompetent people to lead our military and control the life and death of those poor children on the front lines."

Duke Winter is relentless and pressing forward step by step!

"Uh...!" Mao Qi gritted his teeth and said nothing.

If he resigns, he can be replaced by another general.

But if the entire staff is purged, the northern forces will be forced out at the top of the military.

Those guys from the south will have the highest authority in the military.

"Duke Winter, I think...!" Bismarck felt that things could not continue like this.

If the Bavarians from the south take control of the army, what will happen next is really scary to think about.

"Before the war broke out, we and the Ming Dynasty were still quasi-allies.

With the help of the Ming Empire, we have airship manufacturing plants, and we can produce train heads.

Even in Hamburg we have the ability to build boiler ironclads.

Hamburg Shipyard has grown from a second-rate shipyard in Europe to a top shipyard in Europe.

Until now, Hamburg Shipyard is still one of the few shipyards in Europe that can build warships.

Why?

Why do we want to go to war with the powerful Ming Empire? Why? Why?

His Excellency Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck, can you tell me why?"

Duke Winter interrupted Bismarck's speech rudely, and even called out Bismarck's full name at the end.

Bismarck's expression changed. Sure enough, Duke Winter was going to cause trouble today.

"This is the resolution of the Imperial Parliament!" Bismarck said without much confidence.

The war with the Ming Dynasty was pushed through by him and Frederick through strong push.

In order to eliminate any resistance, Duke Winter was not even waited for to attend the meeting.

"Imperial Parliament? Why didn't I know? Did I participate?

When did you kick Bavaria out of the Reichstag?

Your Majesty, do you think you want to kick Bavaria out of the empire?"

Duke Winter's spearhead was directed at King Frederick.

"Duke Winter, the situation was urgent at that time. This is in line with the empire's emergency response methods...!"

"Then please explain, Prime Minister, why we want to go to war against the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the war has become like this, how are we going to end it?

He is the prime minister and he has this obligation and responsibility."

Duke Winter spread his hands, looked at King Frederick and said.

"That's enough Winter, are you talking to His Majesty the King?" Bismarck stood up and stared at Winter.

"Then tell us, what is the reason for all this?

How did the empire, under your leadership, reach the embarrassing situation it is in now?"

"I said, this is the resolution of the Imperial Parliament." Bismarck roared like an old lion.

"I'm asking you what do we do now?

Finding ways to solve problems is what your prime minister should do."

"Everyone is here just to discuss and solve problems."

"As the prime minister, you should come up with reasonable plans.

Let me say it again, this is your responsibility and your responsibility."

"...!" As eloquent as Bismarck, he had nothing to say at this time.

Because this is indeed his responsibility, and he does not have a solution.

"Why don't you say anything, Bismarck? Could it be that you have led the empire on the wrong path, but now you are unable to lead the empire on the right path?"

"That's enough Winter!" Frederick slammed the table and stood up with a whoop.

"Your Majesty the King, I just want the Prime Minister to fulfill his responsibilities. Is this wrong?

If he cannot come up with good solutions, then he is an incompetent prime minister.

I want to initiate a motion to remove Bismarck from his position.
