It would highlight these main ideas:

- Convince Italy to join by promising Provence and Corsica, along with African colonies
- Hold France on the German border
- Take out Russia and Serbia with the help of relatives in Romania
- Once Russia was defeated, annex the Baltic states, free Finland and Poland, and promise Nicholas II military help against revolutionaries
- Only once Russia was defeated call in Italy
- Get Luxembourg to agree to military access
- Flank the French through Luxembourgian and Italian borders

This keeps the French occupied, allows for a stable Russia, and prevents the U. K. from getting a legitimate cacus belli for entering the war. What German general would have been likely to propose something like this?
