The Rise of the Empire

The Austro-Hungarian Empire also attached great importance to this marriage, not because it would make the relationship between Germany and Austria-Hungary closer, because whether it was Emperor Fritz or other high-level officials, they all knew that the Kaiser did not want to see This marriage. They saw this marriage as the key to rebuilding the old friendship between Austria-Hungary and the former South German states. \u003c/p\u003eThe Emperor of Austria knew very well that the Austro-Hungarian Empire could only deal with the surrounding threats only by relying on Germany. And if it is possible to establish an extraordinary connection with an influential state in Germany, then it is naturally a dream for Austria-Hungary. What's more, the economic and military cooperation between Bavaria and Austria-Hungary has a long history, and Austria has benefited a lot from it. This time, the Austrian Emperor sent Count Taft, who is known as the "Iron Ring", to further strengthen the relationship between the two sides. cooperation relationship. \u003c/p\u003e His father Ludwig III and Earl Schelling are in charge of the specific matters concerning the marriage, and the prince just needs to follow their plan and follow the steps. Of course, the cooperation between Bavaria and Austria needs to be handled by the prince himself. \u003c/p\u003e"The imperial government has agreed to the proposal of the Turkish government to join the Allied Powers system. As long as General Shefkai and the Young Turk Party can succeed, the imperial government will have no objections." Earl Taff said. \u003c/p\u003eEmperor Fritz was still very entangled in accepting a country that was originally a prey to become his ally. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially Austria, is interested in the Balkans. This interest is not only for small countries such as Serbia, but also for Turkey-the sick man in Eurasia. If it weren't for the fact that the two sides were not next to each other, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be more likely to choose Turkey instead of Serbia. After all, the latter has a boss called Russia, and Turkey is alone. \u003c/p\u003eIn order for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to accept this proposal, the prince had to transfer some of his benefits, such as agreeing to give the Austro-Hungarian Empire a 20% share in the issue of arms exports to the Turkish Army. At the same time, Turkey will be persuaded to give certain preferential policies to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the fields of trade and agriculture. \u003c/p\u003e"I am very satisfied with the result. The joining of Turkey will make the Allies stronger." The prince smiled and nodded. \u003c/p\u003e"But there are three countries in the Allied Powers. It is not enough for Germany and us to accept it. Italy must also express its position. Although it will not sign the relevant treaties now, it must at least show some goodwill towards Turkey." Earl Taft said. \u003c/p\u003e"I understand what you mean. Do you want Germany to come forward to further subdue Italy? Is your country still worried about Italy?" A simple statement is not what the earl needs, although the prince "visits" After Italy. Italy said nothing more about Germany and Portugal. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Italy is very dissatisfied with this. And Austria-Hungary, which has always had a bad relationship with Italy, hopes to further suppress this dishonest ally. \u003c/p\u003e "To be honest, we do lack control over Italy. They pursue egoism. And the foreign policy is more flexible. But I will ask the Kaiser to send a note to Italy to let them express their position on the Turkish issue. It's just that It's just a statement, it shouldn't be difficult," said the prince. \u003c/p\u003e "I heard that you have signed a new cooperation agreement with the Kingdom of Württemberg. In the future, part of the car engines of both parties will be imported from the Kingdom of Württemberg, is that true?" said Earl Taft. \u003c/p\u003e "That's right." The prince nodded and said. \u003c/p\u003e"So what's the reason? Is it because of the lack of technical strength in Bohemia, or the lack of production capacity? Or economic problems?" Earl Taft frowned slightly,

Said with some dissatisfaction. \u003c/p\u003eThe future industrial layout of the prince is like this. Bavaria is responsible for the final assembly of automobiles, tanks and other motor vehicles, as well as the future aviation industry. The Bohemian region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, later known as the Czech Republic, was responsible for the production of engines and some parts. The labor cost of the latter had an advantage over Bavaria. \u003c/p\u003eHowever, due to some historical reasons, the prince is very afraid of the independent Czechs. Based on the idea of ​​not putting all eggs in one basket, the prince decided to share the risk, and the best sharer is the Czech who belongs to the South. The Kingdom of Württemberg in Germany, as a brother who once fought against the central government with Bavaria, the relationship between the two parties is still very good. Bavaria was originally poor and naturally could not give much, but it is different now. The wealthy Bavaria can use money to bring the relationship between the two parties to a higher level. \u003c/p\u003eAnd think about the famous companies in later generations such as DaimlerChrysler and Porsche. Everyone knows that the industrial capabilities of the Kingdom of Württemberg are absolutely new, and they can definitely complete the tasks assigned by the prince. \u003c/p\u003e"Mr. Earl, we can guarantee from the person in charge that our orders from Austria will not decrease, and we will also cooperate with the Austrian government to establish a new pharmaceutical factory." In order to appease the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the prince threw another olive branch. And this so-called new drug is the well-known arsenamin in later generations, and it has another new name called 606. (As for what it does, you can check it online.)\u003c/p\u003eThe prince has invited the inventor of this drug, Paul Ehrlich, to work in the newly formed Nuremberg Pharmaceutical Group, and has found Without this kind of special drug, now there is no industrial method. And it is naturally more difficult for the prince to swallow such a huge cake by himself. Therefore, it is better to transfer the benefits to the Austro-Hungarian Empire than to "offer" to Prussia. After all, the former has become the "prey" of the prince. \u003c/p\u003eOf course, the profits of drugs like 606 can be shared, but another drug that is more difficult to extract, has a better effect, and is more important can only be exclusive to Bavaria, penicillin! The universal elixir when it first came out, this is not something that can be obtained by simple chemical synthesis. The selection and cultivation of strains take time, and the initial output is very small. The price is even more expensive than gold! This kind of thing, the prince doesn't plan to throw it out now, at least wait until others can't take care of it, such as before the outbreak of war... \u003c/p\u003e "We can understand this." A simple exchange of benefits. The interests of Austria-Hungary have not been damaged, and a new peripheral member can be added to the current Austro-Hungarian-Bavarian alliance. Naturally, Earl Taff will not object to such a cost-effective transaction. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friend z911, the First Guards Tank Brigade, good books are hard to find, 2013, Wu Yue, slowly traveling k, little people follower, sea bounds~~~!
