The Rise of the Empire

"You want to expand the territory of the Kingdom of Bavaria and get a share of the spoils? Yes! But it depends on the performance of you and the Bavarian Legion under your command. The imperial government will not treat anyone who has made meritorious service, nor will it let anyone go. Anyone who wants to split the empire, you are a smart person, you should be able to understand." Regarding this issue, the Kaiser really didn't think about it. He knew that he had to give Bavaria a suitable offer, but it was definitely not now . He wants to look at the offer to Bavaria based on Austria-Hungary's offer. Therefore, in this case, the Kaiser could only speak harsh words first.

"If there is nothing else, I think I can resign." Ruprecht said everything he needed to say. He had reassured the Kaiser and believed that he had no intention of splitting Germany, so all other issues would not be a problem. Even if one day, Prime Minister Blow was assassinated in Bavaria, it would be fine. After all, Bismarck had encountered it once, and I didn't see what happened to the Prussian government later.

"Remember what you said today, and what I said today." Before Ruprecht left, the Kaiser's deep voice sounded again.

"Bavaria, Bohemia and Moravia, haha, during the war, Ruprecht was really powerful." Crown Prince William sneered.

"I don't think the Austrian Emperor will agree." Prime Minister Biaoluo said cautiously while slowly wiping the cold sweat on his head with a towel. What happened today was simply too outrageous, so he could only express his position cautiously. Naturally, he could not afford to offend the Kaiser. Nor could Biaoluo afford to offend Ruprecht, a master who dared to bargain with the Kaiser. After all, you This Prime Minister cannot last a lifetime...

"Little Maoqi, what do you mean?" the Kaiser asked directly.

"From a military point of view, there is nothing wrong with Bavaria's actions. Facts have proved that the efficiency of the same money handled by Bavaria is much higher than that of others. After all, Bavaria is the size of a kingdom, and forming a group army is obviously beyond the standard. , but if it is used against Russia, a long war of attrition will probably wipe out all the wealth that Bavaria has saved for more than ten years. He is doing this as a precautionary measure." Xiao Maoqi's answer was very fair.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Emperor Fritz is already very old. Crown Prince Ferdinand will take over sooner or later. He is very dissatisfied with Ruprecht's behavior. Princess Mary's position as Grand Duke may not be stable. And if the war is over, Bavaria's military influence will be greatly reduced, and Ferdinand will naturally kick away things that are no longer useful," the Crown Prince said.

"It's not that easy. The central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has weak control over local areas. The trade links between Bavaria and Bomisia took more than ten years to establish. It's not just a matter of getting rid of it. From an economic point of view, the cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial. And after the war, Austria-Hungary, which has eaten too much, will definitely have indigestion, and he will even need to rely on Bavaria."

"Ferdinand is not the king now. He can have his own way with Ruprecht, but after becoming the king, he can't do whatever he wants. There are some things that you can't stand, but you have to endure it. You really treat me as a king. Is everything going as he wants? Is the Prime Minister of Bialuo relaxed? Or maybe Moltke didn't encounter anything maddening?" the Kaiser said with a wry smile.

"Remember one thing, the Prussian capitalists and bankers are more dangerous than Ruprecht. Because of Ruprecht, these guys will be efficient. It is also more convenient for us to do some things. Only the German aristocrats Unite with the army and your future crown will be safer.

Look, during the war, those guys in the Imperial Council will definitely make various threats. The military will inevitably be affected. But the Bavarian Legion will not be affected, because Bavaria does not have powerful capitalists and bankers. "

"Well, since Ruprecht has not done anything that harms the fundamental interests of the German Empire, and we will continue to cooperate in the future, then we just need to sit in the audience. Don't always think about taking all the benefits. That’s a robber, not an emperor, and the fate of robbers is generally not good,” William II said.

After the Kaiser finished speaking, he signaled for others to leave. Although the meeting process was a bit unexpected, the result was not bad. Bavaria's actions were within the scope of the German Empire's permission. What's more, Emperor Fritz gave his daughter Prussia really has no control over the status of a powerful prince...

"What do you think of this matter?" When Prime Minister Biaoluo and Little Maoqi walked out of the hall, the former looked around and said to Little Maoqi carefully in his ear.

"I can rest assured that the Eastern Front will be left to him." Xiao Maoqi's answer was extremely simple.

"Aren't you worried that Bavaria is too strong?" Biao Luo said with some surprise.

"I am a soldier, and soldiers should not get involved in politics. This should be your problem. What do you think? Mr. Prime Minister?" Xiao Maoqi asked.

"I...I haven't thought about it yet." Biao Luo said. He couldn't guarantee whether his statement would reach the ears of some people.

"Is it settled?" Ruprecht did not return directly to the training ground, but chose to meet his father.

"It's not bad, it just depends on how Fritz decides. He knows what we want. I also proved our strength. If nothing else happens, they will decide soon." Ruprecht said.

"Then you should prepare well. I can rest assured that you will do your job." Friedrich III said.

"According to our information, William II has summoned Ruprecht. Although no information has leaked out, frequent exchanges between the Prussian military and the Bavarian military have begun. From this point of view, it seems that they have reached an agreement What happened?" Two days later, Count Taft reported to Emperor Fritz and Crown Prince Ferdinand.

"It seems that the Kaiser agreed. It's time for a showdown between us and Bavaria." Emperor Fritz said. "Is General Conrad here?"

"The general has been here for three days and has made all preparations." Archduke Ferdinand said.

"Very well, let's get started, Count Taft. You can personally invite Ruprecht and the prince this afternoon. We will have a showdown at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" Emperor Fritz said.

"As you command, Your Majesty." Earl Taft saluted respectfully and then left.

"How many people do you think he will bring?" Emperor Fritz looked at Ferdinand next to him and said.

"He and Prince Leopold? Or Count Schelling?" Ferdinand said.

"No, he alone is enough. Because this is ultimately a military issue. And militarily, at least at the battle level, no one can match it." The emperor said.
