The Rise of the Empire

Did the Kaiser know about the private meeting between the Grand Duke of Baden and the Crown Prince? That is naturally known, but the experienced Kaiser didn't tell this matter, what's the use of telling it? Directly intensify the contradiction between the two sides? Indicates the poor environment of the Kingdom of Prussia now? If Prince Albert wanted to tell the crown prince about this to alert the other party, and if the crown prince knew about this incident, he might go berserk, then what the Kaiser thought about was how to calm down the dissatisfaction from his allies and cover up this incident.

Before the crown prince met, the Kaiser told the Prince of Baden that the Grand Duchy of Baden could not participate in this action against Turkey. This was actually a gesture of favor. On other occasions, the Kaiser also hinted that the crown prince's personal behavior did not represent the Kaiser, and the Grand Duchy of Baden could ignore it. Of course, it is not convenient for the Kaiser to speak out directly about the subsequent behavior. After all, the Kaiser still has a certain degree of confidence in the crown prince and does not want to bring too bad influence.

In fact, the Kaiser made a lot of preparations for letting the crown prince lead a team to visit Bavaria this time. Before that, the Kaiser had confirmed through his own channels many times that Ruprecht did say that he could give up his dominance of the Middle East. Quan, when the last crown prince said that as long as the crown prince is "not excessive". After the crown prince would not attack the crown prince on certain matters, the Kaiser finally decided to let the crown prince go. The so-called pity for the parents of the world, the Kaiser has done a lot on this issue.

Of course, there is one problem that the Kaiser ignored, that is, in these letters, the Kaiser did not elaborate on what he would do. Because the Kaiser also felt that this matter was not difficult. However, in the memorandum of this meeting, it is stated that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, the Crown Prince needs to consult Crown Prince Ruprecht on the plan!

"His Royal Highness, the Berlin side has sent a note, and a delegation led by His Royal Highness Crown Prince William will arrive in Munich in two days to contact us on the issue of handing over Middle Eastern affairs." Earl Schelling told Crown Prince Ruprecht report.

"Understood, get ready for work. This time, a crown prince from Prussia, a powerful prince, and a prime minister are here. This standard is very high." The crown prince nodded and said.

"Your Highness, I really don't understand why you gave up your dominance over the Middle East at a critical moment. We have been preparing for this for several years and paid a huge price. We helped Kemal escape from death for the sake of the Middle East. For his family to leave safely, we paid hundreds of millions of marks in arms, isn't it just to shape a new Turkey according to our wishes? But now, when we are about to reap the fruits of victory, you have given up , Seeing the Kaiser destroy the previous plan, and then come up with a plan that can be described as rough. This is a shame for me!" Earl Schelling said heartbrokenly, and the words were rare and radical .

"I gave up the plan?" Ruprecht put down the book in his hand, then looked at the somewhat flushed subordinate in front of him with interest and said. "Everything is in progress. If I remember correctly, according to our plan, Marshal Kemal should come to Munich within a week, right?"

"However, we have declared to the outside world that we have given up our dominance.

Some preparations are indeed going on, but I don't know what the point of these things are! As long as we declare that we agree to let the Kaiser lead this matter, even if we join, we will only be given some symbolic rewards in the end. Instead of this, we might as well not participate, anyway, the Kaiser has guaranteed our previous interests. said Earl Schelling.

"I just temporarily gave them the dominance of the Middle East. Believe me, the things I have spent so much trouble arranging cannot be solved so easily. Why did I plan for more than 2 years before finally launching it? The plan is only 80% certain, but the plan made by the Kaiser in a hurry will succeed?" The crown prince asked with a smile, his words were full of confidence.

"But if your plan has such a high probability of success, why don't we carry it out ourselves, and let the Kaiser temporarily? This doesn't make sense logically." Earl Schelling said.

"When doing anything, I attach great importance to cost. In fact, this plan is a bit huge. It may be risky to rely solely on our family's investment. You know, we cannot fail, and the empire does not allow failure. So we have to prepare more, and the Kaiser is unwilling to join us, so what should we do? Naturally, we must find a way to get them in."

"There is an idiom in the East that invites you to enter the urn. We all understand that the Kaiser is actually very jealous of Turkey's resources and markets. The only restrictions on them are investment and share. They want to get the biggest piece! So they give us in the center. Set up obstacles. Well, now, we give them the initiative and let them do it first. The Kaiser’s level is limited, but some preliminary work can be done well, such as dealing with the rebels, to stabilize the situation in Asia Minor It’s still okay. In this way, they are doing things for us, because they are destined to fail to do the most important things!”

"The so-called "half of a hundred miles" means that the Kaiser's actions will eventually fall into a difficult situation in Turkey. This dilemma is not determined by the military, but by the political and domestic environment. On the surface, the Kaiser has gained an advantage. But he couldn’t fundamentally solve this problem, and then there was a long period of fighting and attrition. You can compare it to the situation during the Boer War. It belonged to that kind. Great wars almost never happened, but guerrilla warfare was endless. In fact, the Boer War The stage of the Great War was just a few months, but the whole war dragged on for 2 years, and the British spent 200 million pounds on the military! And the Americans just want us to fall into this state!"

"However, people may go to extremes when they are in a hurry, and so is the country when it is in a hurry. Therefore, the Kaiser's army may adopt some very bad methods in Turkey. The final result may affect the relationship between the two countries for the next ten years. But this can't solve the problem. When the Kaiser realizes that the contribution is not proportional to the return, he will consider giving up, and we can jokingly call it "cutting the flesh!" Speaking of this, the Crown Prince smiled slightly.

"So, after the Kaiser has done most of the work, we will regain control of things in the Middle East in the face of an unresolvable impasse?" Count Schelling asked. "Then I want to know, where is our hole card?"
