The Rise of the Empire

"What you did in the Governor-General of Poland has aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and the confrontation between religious believers and Catholics you provoked has made Crown Prince Ruprecht's opinion of you worse. And you are in Some tricks done by the imperial government and the colonial department also caused some losses to the southern states. Do you think the crown prince will give you a good face when they meet?" Prince Albert said.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. What's more, some of the things the crown prince did made the archduke of Baden feel disgusted by the hardcore Kaiser. And turned around and told Bavaria. In fact, many high-level German people knew about the behavior of the crown prince, and even some people knew about the Black Wing Knights. It's just that due to various reasons, everyone refrained from having an attack. The Kaiser could not easily express dissatisfaction with the crown prince, because such dissatisfaction would be interpreted by people with ulterior motives, and even lead to political turmoil in the kingdom. The Bavarian side is because in the south, most things have nothing to do with themselves, and they are too lazy to directly conflict with the crown prince at the highest level.

But this so-called peace is not stable. Once there is such a chance, some people get hold of it, then this matter may be revealed! For example, this time, the Kaiser handed over this matter to the Crown Prince. If Bavaria caused trouble for the Crown Prince, the Kaiser might understand, but other high-level German officials might not understand it. They would think that the Crown Prince was not reliable. , or interpreted as a serious confrontation between Bavaria and the crown prince, and this interpretation is terrible for the crown prince whose position is not stable. After all, Bavaria now has the ability to influence the succession of the throne. And that prince is also famous for revenge!

Facing his younger brother, the crown prince would not evade saying that he did not do these things, or that it had nothing to do with him, because it was useless to say so! Let’s not say that the other party must have obtained conclusive evidence. More importantly, sometimes, the truth of the matter is not important. Even if the crown prince really did not do these things, the Bavarian side felt that the Kaiser did not like it, and then decided to Give you some stumbling blocks and troubles. how can you There's no way to do this!

"I will do some preparatory work. Some misunderstandings need to be clarified. Some people who use my banner to benefit themselves will inevitably be warned and punished." The crown prince said with a complicated expression.

"Brother, logically speaking, I shouldn't say the following, but I want to say that some of your practices in the Governor General of Poland are very bad. You are using interests and power to forcibly separate a country and a society. You put people according to Religion, ethnicity, and wealth are divided into ranks and ranks. This is a very terrible class antagonism. You may indeed please some people and gain their support, but you will turn many more away from you. You The power and power gained from this is unreliable, and the damage to the country is obvious, and many people, many people close to us, have expressed dissatisfaction with you, they are very important and have great influence," Prince Albert said.

"Enough! I don't need you to teach me how to do it! Everything I do has its own reason and purpose. We are different. You will become a powerful minister in the future, but you will not be an emperor. You don't know a What should the emperor think and do! Your ideas are so ridiculous and childish in my opinion! Want to rely on your own ability, rely on ideals and beliefs to unite a group of people to achieve it? Don’t you think it’s too difficult? Politics The most important thing is the benefit and efficiency! Before that, I thought you might become my opponent,

But now I don't think so, because you underestimated the darkness of human nature too much! Most people in the world live for profit. Therefore, the small group of people you unite will always be a minority! "The crown prince said loudly, his language was also full of aggressiveness and sarcasm!

He already hated other people's preaching to him, especially the one who preached to him was the competitor in his heart, his younger brother who might compete with him for imperial power in the future!

"It seems that it really doesn't work to discuss ideas with him." Prince Albert said in his heart. He was a little lucky that he didn't tell all he knew. Just a few weeks ago, Prince Baden had specially discussed some I have communicated with Prince Albert about a very common question, and it seems that there is a good intention in it, which surprised the prince. After all, when I was in Berlin, the Grand Duchy of Baden kept a certain distance from me, and even belonged to that The kind who can say a word but never say two! There was no animosity between the two sides. Even before the war, the Grand Duke of Baden praised himself for doing things properly. But as he became one of the candidates for the throne, the Grand Duke of Baden quickly distanced himself.

But now, Prince Baden's goodwill behavior made the prince a little confused, because he couldn't figure out what caused the Grand Duchy of Baden to change its attitude towards itself when the political situation of the empire had not changed much. There is no reason for this!

Therefore, Prince Albert decided to investigate carefully. However, by chance this time, when he was chatting with Marshal Mackensen, the marshal seemed to mention that the Baden brothers had gone to Munich together, and that the prince and the Grand Duke had talked alone. a period of time! If someone else said this, the prince was noncommittal, but Mackensen was different. He was not only the marshal of the empire, but also maintained his friendship with Bavaria. After all, whether it was the cooperation between the two parties during the war or the neutral attitude of the marshal after the war, Bavaria had a good impression of him. And this signal of talking alone makes people have to pay attention to it. You must know that Prince Albert has never talked with the Grand Duke alone!

And then, considering some of the actions of the Grand Duchy of Baden, Prince Albert could feel that the Grand Duke of Baden was really disappointed with the crown prince! If only from the perspective of the throne, Prince Albert should be happy, but considering that the crown prince's actions even disgusted the Grand Duke of Baden, he even did not hesitate to communicate with Bavaria, which was not close to him, on some issues. The prince was a little unhappy. After all, if the Grand Duchy of Baden took refuge in the south, then the Kingdom of Prussia would really become a lonely family. So he really wanted to persuade his brother, but looking at the situation today, it seems that doing so might be even worse!

"It seems that we only have time to talk to my father." Prince Albert said in his heart.

The meeting between the two actually couldn't go any further. Two sharp conflicts broke out between the two sides, and the perception of each other was a bit bad, so after chatting about some other things hastily, the two ended the meeting!
