The Rise of the Empire

It can be expected that even if Bavaria is really merged with a part of the Kingdom of Austria, even if all difficulties and dangers are excluded, then in name, the status of my wife is still higher than my own. Don't think that a country can only have one king , and don't think that a royal family can only have one king. On this issue, the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself has a precedent!

And this precedent is the father and mother of Princess Mary! Dad Fritz is the Emperor of Austria-Hungary and King of Austria, and mom Sissi is the titular Queen of Hungary! The fundamental reason why Fritz was able to suppress his wife was that the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Princess Sissi were the titular queen. But this matter cannot be set on Prince Ruprecht!

First of all, even if all interference is finally excluded, the Kingdom of Bavaria successfully merged with parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is impossible to say that annexation is impossible, and Bavaria is still too small. What Prussia couldn't do back then, Bavaria couldn't do either.

Then the situation in this kingdom is likely to be like this, Prince Ruprecht will be the king of Bavaria, and his wife Princess Marie may be crowned queen of Austria. The Germans in Austria would rather accept a member of the Habsburg family as their king than a Bavarian, even though the member of the Habsburg family may be closer to the Bavarian royal family in terms of blood!

Well, the current situation is that there are two kings in this new kingdom at the same time. This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that these two kings have real power! Needless to say Bavaria, the prince is absolutely unambiguous, but at the same time, if the prince wants to expand his influence to newly added regions, it is absolutely impossible without the help of his wife! After all, the Austrian nobles are more likely to be loyal to Her Royal Highness than they are to themselves!

If you think about it more, the new kingdom will definitely establish a parliament. According to the rules of the Germans, the number of representatives may be determined according to the population of each region. If this is the case, then Bavaria is a complete tragedy! This parliament is not the Wittelsbach family's final decision, it is the Habsburg family's final decision! My wife has more influence than me, can I bear this?

This is only a political issue, and it will be even more chaotic if it involves other aspects such as economics and ethnicity. Germans in Bavaria think differently from Germans in Austria, Germans think differently from Czechs, and these two peoples and other minorities also think differently. Well, how much cohesion this freak with all kinds of things will have, and how much authority the central government will have, is worth debating! Anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince will never allow Bavaria to become another Austro-Hungarian Empire! Absolutely not!

If there is any hope for the situation to improve, then of course there is. If the prince and princess do not have any troubles, then the German side is considered stable. It would be even better if the descendants directly inherit the throne. The bloodlines of the two families were completely merged into one. The two nobles and high-ranking allegiances became one. At least more than 20 million Germans can be integrated at a high level. In this way, the contradictions within the nation will gradually give way to the contradictions between the nations, and the Germans, who have an advantage in population, are likely to seize the dominance of the country. Then the cohesion will definitely be much stronger than that of Austria-Hungary.

Generally speaking, the risks are huge and the difficulties are insurmountable, but the prospects are still bright! Well, it's a bit fanciful. From the overall point of view, if the Prussian royal family is weak enough after World War I, it is also possible for Bavaria to incorporate a small part of Austrian territory.

In other words, it is not merged into Bavaria in name, but exists as an independent state, but if Princess Mary is the leader, that is fine.

Prussia will never want Austria, the reason is very simple, a simple religious issue will make him sad. Naturally, Austrians who believe in Catholicism will not get together with Protestants. Geographically speaking, if these regions after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire want to join Germany, then Bavaria is undoubtedly the best choice. recently! And the Germans in the Sudetenland region will probably be more inclined to Germany than to the Czech Republic, right? If the country still exists.

Although he was a little bit unwilling about his arranged marriage, it was just unwillingness. From the perspective of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the family, this politically charged marriage is still very useful, both now and in the future.

From the current point of view, the forces of the Kingdom of Bavaria can enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire more conveniently, and can improve the country to a certain extent in terms of politics, economy, and military. These changes cannot ultimately save this doomed country. Empire, but make him stronger, at least he performed better in World War 1! His Royal Highness the Prince intends to fight on the Eastern Front, and the only country that can be relied on on the Eastern Front is Austria-Hungary.

Helping Austria-Hungary to train a relatively capable army is of great significance to Bavaria and even Germany, and it would be great if some troops can obey their own orders. Well, the more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that this marriage was not something unacceptable. Apart from the fact that the princess is more fierce, other problems are fine, at least they have common ideals and common pursuits.

"I need to confirm this matter, and even if the elders have this intention, I need to adapt to this process. We were originally just partners. In addition, I think I am still young, and it is not appropriate to talk about this issue." In the end, The prince almost couldn't say it, he was 28! Although in history the deity was married at the age of 30, but now this age will be an older unmarried man after 100 years!

"Of course, we have enough time to get to know each other. I think His Royal Highness will gradually change his opinion of me." Princess Mary said indifferently.

"Sister, you are really too powerful. If there is such a day, I really can't be sure whether the power is in the hands of the Bavarian royal family or the Habsburg royal family. I am not too greedy for power, but because I think you can't control it." .” The prince finally said.

"Our Ruprecht didn't like a strong partner, no wonder he has a good eye for the Ukrainian canary." Princess Mary suddenly realized.
