"You want to summon Moltke Jr.? The exercise is not over yet, although he lost, but it is not appropriate to summon him at this time, right? And don't we already know the truth? These things can be dealt with until the end of the exercise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Crown Prince William said with some confusion.

"The outcome of the exercise, or the military reform, can be talked about later, after all, we still have more than four years, but there are some things that must come up with a result now, and Prime Minister Biaoluo will also come. Because right next door, Emperor Fritz was probably already discussing something with his close relatives. The Kaiser said.

"It's ....... What do you mean? The crown prince's heart tightened. Relations between Bavaria and Austria have always been close, both in terms of blood and relations between the two countries. Originally, with the reunification of Germany, after Austria chose to withdraw from the German system, this relationship became very weak, and it was inevitable that even if the two countries were divided and their interests were not close, no matter how good the relationship was, it would be diluted by time.

But with the re-emergence of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the re-establishment of marriage ties with Austria, the relationship between the two sides that went beyond friendship made the German top brass a little jealous. The relationship between the second child in his family and the next door is unclear and tugging, can he feel good sitting on the boss? But now the circumstances are different, and the German Empire, seeing that the Great War is about to begin, needs to unite all the forces that can be united to deal with the crisis. And you still have a good relationship with the next door, at this time for Bavaria, Germany can do very little, it is absolutely impossible to fight, that is tantamount to suicide. Then if you can't fight, you can only pull.

"Let me teach you a lesson, the current situation is the result of many promotions, war has a purpose, or a political purpose or economic interests, and everything can be explained by interests."

"We've had a lot of conversations with Ruprecht and he's never going to do anything he's not sure about, but if he decides to do it, he hasn't failed yet. That is, we can understand that as long as he decides to do something, there will be a benefit. The Kaiser spoke eloquently.

"Ruprecht thinks that it is impossible to win on the Western Front, but he is not against us going to war with Britain, France and Russia, so this shows a problem, we can make a profit, and if the Western Front cannot make a profit, then only the Eastern Front can! In fact, he has always insisted on fighting on the Eastern Front. ”

"If it's just his personal behavior, I can think that he avoids the important and wants to take advantage of something, which is normal and human. But it was different after the intervention of Austria-Hungary! They took on the pressure in the face of Russia, and in fact, what combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army, we all understand, if nothing else, Fritz was not a suitable commander-in-chief, he was a politician, or rather a careerist. But definitely not a military strategist. ”

"He has never been able to solve the two most serious problems faced by the Austro-Hungarian army, one is the problem of internal cohesion, and the other is the problem of equipment and system, Austria-Hungary is actually more suitable to call it Austria and Hungary, their army is not under the same system, and different nationalities and different classes within the army have their own ideas, such an army can fight a war!"

"They're under pressure on the Eastern Front, so they have to find someone who can fight to help them withstand, who is the best choice? It's impossible for us, we want to fight on the Western Front, then the only and most suitable option is Bavaria, we all know that Bavaria is very rich and can raise a lot of troops, and Ruprecht is indeed expanding its armaments all the time, he has the ability and ideas, so well, now there is only one question left, what kind of price will Austria-Hungary offer to make the Bavarian Army work for them! ”

Speaking of which, the Kaiser blushed, obviously a little excited, when the information is not equal, and when some stimulation, people may think about it, think a few brain holes, if this person is more stubborn, and then have some rights, then basically no one can change him, and the Kaiser happens to meet these requirements, and the Kaiser's inference is indeed reasonable, the prince helps Austria-Hungary for the sake of interests, of course, neither the Kaiser nor Austria-Hungary will think that it is for the Austrian throne!

"So what pay can make a country's army die for it?" The crown prince was also trembling.

"It's simple, territorial! Fiefdom! Although Ruprecht will be the king of Bavaria in the future, it is inconvenient for him to hold other royal titles, but his wife is a princess of the Habsburgs, theoretically, it is possible to get a fief, do not forget, Princess Mary's mother, Princess Sisi, is also the queen of Hungary, but the only difference between her and his mother is that the former can get actual control, while the latter is only nominal. ”

"The Habsburg royal family is in decline, but let's not forget that they once extended their bloodline to almost all European royal families, and as long as Emperor Fritz agreed, Princess Mary would have no problem obtaining fiefs in the new territories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." The Kaiser said.

"But the price is too high." The crown prince said, the matter of territory is definitely not a trivial matter, is it too much to exchange this for military assistance?

"Not high at all! Without the help of Bavaria, Austria-Hungary may not be able to hold out for even a year, and the wool comes from sheep, and the more the Bavarian army can fight, the more Austria-Hungary will profit, so it is understandable to create a kingdom subordinate to the Habsburg royal family at the right time. And for Austria-Hungary, if the empire changed from a dualistic empire to a triadic empire, and the new oneness was inclined to Vienna, then its stability would be higher, and the power of Hungary would be weakened in disguise! With such a big stake, why didn't Fritz do it? The Kaiser asked rhetorically with a sneer.

In fact, the history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has always had a plan to turn the dual empire into a ternary or even a quadruple empire, and the fundamental reason is very simple, because Hungary is really a bit big, in order to weaken his influence, Fritz does not mind turning the empire into a multi-level empire, but unfortunately, thinking that Hungary's opposition has not succeeded. After all, the place is so big, how do you divide it?

But this time, the Kaiser really guessed Fritz's hole cards correctly! Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being, and as for the reasons and practices, I'll talk about it in the next few chapters, well, .......
