The Rise of the Empire

Although His Royal Highness may not be able to swallow Hungary as a whole, but for areas beyond the control of the Hungarian government, His Royal Highness still considers eating some at the right time! And if there is no accident, the Hungarian government will definitely lose a lot of territory. Even if there are no external reasons such as Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia, Hungary, which does not even have half the population, will absolutely not be able to control so many places. For the leftovers, **** is still grateful and insensitive.

It’s hard to say how much territory Hungary will occupy after independence, but one thing is certain is that they will never participate in wars again. Unlike Austria, Hungary’s power is weaker, and the domestic situation is more complicated. They can’t handle domestic affairs by themselves. How to continue the foreign war? Therefore, if there is no accident, Hungary will withdraw from the war, and His Royal Highness is willing to accept this result. After withdrawing from the war, His Royal Highness will not have to worry about feeding the tens of millions of people in Hungary.

Of course, after withdrawing from the war at this time, it is absolutely impossible to participate in the distribution of war dividends, at least the important parts cannot participate in the distribution, such as Russian Poland, Belarus and other places. However, if Hungary has spare capacity, it is okay to get a share from Yugoslavia. For a fanatical country like Yugoslavia, the prince has no idea in a short period of time. It's not that he can't beat it, but it's too troublesome... Think about Yugoslavia's extreme violence that defeated Austria-Hungary in World War I, and Tito in World War II, you don't want to touch these troubles.

For the prince, the future Kingdom of Hungary is a neutral country that poses no threat at worst, and at best an ally that can add icing on the cake. This is determined by the tragic national conditions of Hungary. Poor, and these industries are mainly concentrated in Austria and the Czech Republic. Hungary is more of an agricultural country, and such a country is destined to not be able to play much role in future competition. Except for manpower, resources are very limited.

"Aren't you afraid that what I said tonight will leak out?" Countess Laura said meaningfully.

"I can guarantee that during my absence, at least ten reports on Bavaria's preparations for rebellion were piled up on Kaiser Wilhelm's desk. In other words, some people in Prussia have always been dissatisfied with us, but what is the result? For us It doesn't have any impact on you. You can say it." Ruprecht said indifferently. "And have you ever thought about this question, if the members of the Imperial Parliament or those capitalists know about you, what will they do? To a certain extent, I just followed the trend, and even in some respects, I share the same aims as those Prussian capitalists."

"And I think, apart from me and Concubine Mary, I'm afraid you can't be loyal to others. Your family and the Hungarians are not willing to accept you, because your actions in recent years have been tied to Austria. At the same time, it is impossible for Prussia to offer a higher bid. From a rational point of view, you will not get a higher position and power elsewhere than here. What's more, we have no essential conflicts, Hungary wants independence , I can allow it, and I even wish for Hungarian independence."

"If there are no accidents in this matter, after ten years, I may have to call you King of Bavaria and Regent of Austria? By the way, maybe a guardian of Ukraine will be added, isn't that right? ?” Countess Laura said in a joking tone.

"What do you mean?" His Royal Highness blushed slightly and said.

"In the future, wouldn't it be in your best interest to have Countess Adelina control Ukraine? Germany can't eat the entire Ukraine, so the best result is naturally to choose someone you can trust to help you control it The most important area in Eastern Europe. Don’t tell me you didn’t arrange it that way.” Laura paused and continued, “Have you not discussed this issue with Her Majesty Mary?”

"Change the subject!" Ruprecht said decisively with a tense face.

"Alright, if you can figure this out, I hope that one day, I can also get an unbetrayable guarantee. Compared with Her Royal Highness Mary and your descendants, I can get Bavaria and Austria, as well as you and Adelina. The descendants of the count can get Ukraine. My request is actually not high." Countess Laura smiled charmingly.

"I will consider your wish." Ruprecht blushed slightly.

"Well, what are you going to do next?" Countess Laura did not continue to dwell on this issue, after all, it is not the time to discuss these matters.

"We have money now. In Prussia, William II naturally decides how to spend it. We also have a plan in Bavaria, but Emperor Fritz does not seem to have a relatively complete plan. I think that as His Majesty the Emperor Son-in-law, and the most recognized ally, we should help the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially Austria, to improve its combat effectiveness." His Royal Highness said without hesitation. Although Bavaria is doing very well now, far exceeding the level of the same period in history, it is not comparable to Prussia, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If you want to quickly solve the Eastern Front, the power of Austro-Hungary is still needed.

Of course, you can also get reinforcements from Prussia, but these Prussian troops are not easily controlled by the **** after all. If Prussia wants to transfer these troops, His Royal Highness has no choice. The number of troops that Bavaria can explode is limited by the population. Historically, there were more than 200,000 troops at the beginning of the war. Referring to the ratio of less than 4 million troops in Germany to a population of more than 60 million, Bavaria can save 600,000 troops. . It is obviously impossible to rely on this force to push Russia away. Therefore, enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Army has become an inevitable choice.

In order to achieve this goal, Ruprecht needs to do two things. The first is to persuade the Kaiser to let Bavaria be responsible for the liaison work of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the second is to ask King Fritz to agree to send at least one Army Group fought side by side with Bavaria. The latter received temperance from the Kingdom of Bavaria.

To an outsider, the first point may seem more difficult. However, considering that Bavaria has relatively independent diplomatic and military power, it is not illegal to do so, and because of geographical reasons, once a war breaks out, only Bavaria is the most suitable to help the Austro-Hungarian Empire. So the first requirement is reasonable and legal.

The second point is troublesome. After all, it involves the issue of wartime command. Although historically, the German military advisory group stationed in Austria finally mastered the Austro-Hungarian Army, but after a series of battles, the German army told the truth with practical actions. The Austrians themselves have a big enough fist. And when this plane war started, Austria might not be willing to hand over military power.
