Chapter 360: Strategies to Break the Game 2

"What, now that you know you're scared? It doesn't matter, we still have time to change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Princess Mary whispered softly in the prince's ear.

"As long as your Bavarian Legion is stronger, and I have some influence in the Austrian military and the upper echelons, and when the empire collapses, your legion can take advantage of the situation to enter Austria, then everything will have a turnaround." The princess said.

"Hehe, you still say that I am naïve, and you are even more naïve in this regard. Leave this kind of thing to the professionals. The prince said in his heart. I finally found a sense of balance, although my wife can foresee something, but if you really want to do it, it depends on me!

"If you can squeeze out the other Habsburg heirs and ascend to the throne under the bayonets of the army, then there is a real chance. But this is quite difficult, first of all, we have to make sure that there are a large number of supporters in the upper echelons of the army, that the army is not swayed by the growing sentiment for national independence, and of course, more importantly, that the Austrian Germans believe in us. The prince said.

"I always feel that you have long thought about getting a piece of the wreckage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because you have been emphasizing the position of the independent German Legion in Austria, and if something really happens to Austria-Hungary, the only country that can come to quell the civil strife as soon as possible is Bavaria, and I don't believe that you will be a good person for nothing and take nothing in return, am I right?" The princess had a look on her face, you know.......

"It's ......." The prince really didn't have the idea of overthrowing Prussia at first, or sharing the hegemony with Prussia, but it doesn't mean that he really watched the division of Austria-Hungary, when he was fine, the prince would also look at the map, look at the area called Sudetenland, and then look at the Czech Republic, sometimes drink high, and imagine the Austrian ...... in later generations.

The prince had the idea of getting a piece of the austro-Hungarian empire when it collapsed. And now, in the face of the potentially grim reality of the future, the prince quickly turned the idea out of the corner of his mind .......

On the whole, whether it is the Germans or the Czechs in Austria, the upper echelons are more inclined to the kingdom, because they are nobles and vested interests, and if they are given a choice, they should be inclined to a person who can bring them greater benefits, and Princess Mary is better than Archduke Karl. (As for Ferdinand?) The prince had tacitly tacitly agreed that he had died under the gunman's bullets. )

The former is backed by the Kingdom of Bavaria, and in terms of economic power it is not even much worse than Austria. And what about the latter? It was just a grand duke who hastily obtained the prince in World War 1, and what is even more incomprehensible is that he actually wanted to be the king of Hungary in history....... The prince even thought that maybe he didn't have to do it himself, so this guy ran away to Hungary......

Before doing anything, it is necessary to consider the risks and benefits, the biggest risk comes from the opposition of Prussia and the dispute within Austria, if it is peacetime, it may be difficult for Bavaria to get a piece of the pie from the collapsed Austria-Hungary, and it can even be described as dangerous, because Prussia has sufficient strength and reasons to stop Bavaria's actions.

However, once the war broke out, most of the German forces were deployed to fight on the eastern and western fronts, and only mobilized troops remained in the country, if the support of some Austrian officers and top brass could be obtained, then there should be no problem in suppressing the rebellion. In fact, history has already given the answer to the question of how much internal military power there was when Austria-Hungary collapsed, and Jordi, a naval general, succeeded in gaining the ...... of power in Hungary with a few thousand sailors.

And if the prince was in charge of the movement in World War 1, then after the settlement of Russia, a large number of Bavarian legions could also rush to Austria-Hungary immediately, and it should not be a problem to suppress the local rebel forces and national independence tendencies. After all, in Austria, although there are quite a few ethnic minorities, their population is not large, and the armed forces are even more scum! And without unity, the scattered independents will soon collapse under the intimidation of machine guns and artillery!

As for Prussia's opposition? Please, this is a time of war, if Austria-Hungary withdraws from the war after the collapse, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Germany, and it is already a great achievement for Bavaria to send troops to help you stabilize the situation, can you still say that you disagree? And what if Prussia did not agree? Can you still move troops from the Western Front to the near and far? Aren't you afraid that the daylilies are cold?

So, whether Prussia really wanted to or not, if Bavaria really acted against Austria-Hungary, the former would not have prevented, and even helped was possible, after all, the consequences of Austria-Hungary's withdrawal from the war were not something Germany could bear!

Well, if the royalists in Bavaria and Austria had succeeded in suppressing the uprising, not to mention eating all of Austria, and only taking control of Austria and the Czechs, then there would have been 160,000 square kilometers of land and a population of almost 18 million! If at this time, his wife can take the throne again and become the empress of the new kingdom of Austria, (why is the prince so uncomfortable when he thinks of this..... Then the Bavarian-Novo-Austrian alliance system will not be able to stop!

Think about it, a family, the husband is a Bavarian ****, and the wife is the newly appointed Austrian empress, their children will definitely inherit these two kingdoms, and definitely not one child will inherit Bavaria, and the other will inherit Austria, in this case, the merging of the two kingdoms is only a matter of time! Moreover, the main ethnic groups are all Germans, and there are very deep civil and government exchanges with each other, and everyone is jointly subordinated to a crown, and there is no problem with internal integration, of course, the premise is to look at the Czechs!

One Bavaria, the Prussian government can crush, but what about 3 Bavaria? Faced with a coalition with a territory of more than 200,000 and a population of almost 30 million, what confidence did the Prussian government have that it could easily be annexed? And this alliance is still the lowest grade, and does not take into account Austrian Poland, Croatia, Bosnia, etc. Maybe it is still inferior to Prussia in terms of strength, but if it really does it, Prussia will also have to break its muscles and bones, and if it does it to its own brothers, what will Saxony think, what will Württemberg think?

Simply one Bavaria is not good at fighting, and the other two principalities can't see any hope of resistance, so they will naturally not join forces, but if Austria and the Czech Republic can be brought in, although it may not be able to compete with Prussia, Prussia will definitely not dare to come hard! The Kaiser's best option is to keep his independence high in exchange for the crown on his head!
