The Rise of the Empire

"If you take the train, you will come to Vienna faster and more comfortably." Looking at his future son-in-law, Fritz said somewhat complicatedly. Regarding what the prince did, Austrian Emperor thought it was both a show off and a statement. The train could have achieved the goal faster and better, but he insisted on organizing a large-scale convoy to run from Munich to Vienna. It doesn't seem to be good, either financially or temporally. \u003c/p\u003e "After all, the railway can't go anywhere." The prince's answer was very vague. People can't figure it out. \u003c/p\u003e "How does it feel along the way?" Austrian Emperor asked. \u003c/p\u003e "It feels a little confusing. I can clearly distinguish Germans, Hungarians, Czechs and Magyars on the road. This is a country full of various ethnic groups. All ethnic groups have not merged with each other, but retained Your own independence." The prince thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e "And this kind of independence can become very dangerous in some cases, isn't it?" Ao Huang Zhengse said. Of course, he knew what the prince implied. This was actually an allusion to the struggle for imperial power between Austria and Hungary after the defeat of the Prussian-Prussian War. The seeds of it have been buried deeply, and I don't know when it will burst out suddenly. \u003c/p\u003e"Okay, don't go around the corner, you just want to say, what do you want to do, and then what can you get?" King Fritz said with some dissatisfaction. Give Austro-Hungarian face, but it is undeniable that most of the German states have been brought under the control of Prussia, and the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has become a thing of the past. This knot is not easy to untie. One of the more important reasons is to rebuild the connection between Austria-Hungary and the states of South Germany. But obviously, the Bavarian prince in front of him doesn't seem to buy his own account. \u003c/p\u003e"Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire became a 2-yuan empire, the Habsburg royal family's ability to control has declined greatly, and now even the royal family's basic disk-Bohemia has problems, and the current policy To a large extent, it is to appease the Bohemians, isn't it?" The prince continued unmoved. \u003c/p\u003e"What you said is the truth, you ruthlessly exposed the scars of the empire. Well then, tell me, what do you want to do?" Austrian Emperor asked for the second time, there was already a trace of anger in his words ! \u003c/p\u003e"A chance to re-establish the authority of the central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a chance to reunite the Germans and Czechs under the banner of the royal family, isn't that enough?" the prince said with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e"Why didn't I know there was such an opportunity?" Austrian Emperor sneered. \u003c/p\u003e"Wouldn't His Majesty the Emperor be willing to take revenge on Italy? Now there is an opportunity before us, and William II has already planned to punish this disobedient guy." The prince said. \u003c/p\u003e"Although we hate Italy, we have no reason to deal with Italy in order to help Turkey, and there is no need to obey the Kaiser's arrangement. We are allies, but not vassals. It costs a lot of money and manpower If you can’t get enough benefits, no one will do this kind of thing. I advise you not to do it. It’s not good for Bavaria, not to mention, although Italy is a weak country, it’s not something Bavaria can deal with.” Austrian Emperor refused. \u003c/p\u003e "Payment and return are directly proportional. Germany helped Austria-Hungary to compete with Russia in the Balkans. Then, when Germany is not able to directly come forward, can't Austria-Hungary help teach a certain old enemy? After so many years After that, is it true that the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire still has not come out of the shadow of defeat and dare not show their swords?" The prince asked rhetorically.

\u003c/p\u003e "The German government is not convenient to come forward, and the Austro-Hungarian government is also not convenient to come forward, and how to solve the military expenditure problem? Turkey cannot afford our war expenses at all. More importantly, they will not be able to provide enough compensation in the future! What does Turkey have? What can it give us?"\u003c/p\u003e "Rupprecht, you will be the future King of Bavaria and my future son-in-law. As an elder, I need to remind you not to act recklessly, especially With your personality and temper, it is a miracle that you can accomplish these things smoothly, but you can’t always expect miracles to be with you all the time, can you?” Austrian Emperor’s attitude is very firm, at least from now on. Look, there is no room for maneuver! \u003c/p\u003e "Your Majesty, no matter whether the Austro-Hungarian Empire will support this matter or not, I will proceed according to the plan. I persuade you not only for our benefit, but also to give the Empire a chance, but unfortunately, you do not If you want, then I hope you will not regret it in the end." The prince said before leaving. \u003c/p\u003e "Your Majesty, this meeting does not seem to be pleasant." When Ruprecht was leaving, Grand Duke Ferdinand saw the gloomy prince, and after talking a few words, he could feel the dissatisfaction in the other party's heart Needless to say, the future Weng and his son-in-law must have had a quarrel, and when he later had an audience with the Austrian Emperor, the Grand Duke decided to ask tentatively. \u003c/p\u003e"He is even more difficult to deal with than William II. He can be a good ally, but he is definitely not a suitable son-in-law." Fritz shook his head and said. "He is more difficult to deal with than Bismarck."\u003c/p\u003e"We rely on Germany to better realize the interests of Austria-Hungary. We have been trying to make the German government understand the importance of Austria-Hungary to Germany. Bismarck tried his best when he was in office Avoid that. By now, we could say we have kidnapped Germany to support our actions in the Balkans, but I didn't expect that this time, it would go wrong for Bavaria. They are too independent."\u003c/p \u003e "Actually, it's okay to help the Turks. Bavaria will give us some benefits." Archduke Ferdinand thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e "So he is suitable as a qualified ally, not an obedient son-in-law." Fritz emphasized again. \u003c/p\u003e"So what should we do now?" Archduke Ferdinand was not worried about the other party's cancellation of the engagement, because this marriage was beneficial to both parties politically and economically, and a little dispute would not affect the basic situation of both parties. . \u003c/p\u003e"Since he wants to do it, I will go and see what the result is. In addition, there should be the Kaiser's attitude behind this. I want to know what the relationship between Bavaria and Prussia is now." Fritz thought want to say. \u003c/p\u003e"This is also a way. Let's wait and see." Archduke Ferdinand thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003eThanks to the book friends of the First Guards Tank Brigade, Song of the Lost, Fly Doomhammer, 2013, Wu Yue, Sea Boundary\u003c/a\u003e~~~!
