Austria-Hungary also attached great importance to this marriage, not because it would bring Germany and Austria-Hungary closer together, because both the Kaiser Fritz and other high-ranking officials knew that the Kaiser did not want to see this marriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoThey saw the marriage as the key to rebuilding the friendship between Austria-Hungary and the former South German states.

The Austrian emperor knew very well that now Austria-Hungary could only deal with the threats from its surroundings by relying on Germany, and that Austria-Hungary, which was in a weak position, was a bit like Germany's little brother rather than an equal ally. And if it could establish more than ordinary ties with an influential state within Germany, it would be undesirable for Austria-Hungary. Moreover, Austria has benefited greatly from the long-standing economic and military cooperation between Bavaria and Austria-Hungary, and this time, the Austrian Emperor sent Count Taaffe, known as the "Iron Ring", to further enhance the cooperation between the two sides.

His father, Ludwig III and Count Schelling, were in charge of the specifics of the marriage, and the prince just had to follow their plan and go step by step. Of course, regarding the cooperation of Bavaria and Austria, it also needs to be handled by the prince himself.

"The Imperial Government has agreed to the proposal of the Turkish Government to join the Allied system, and as long as General Shevkai and the Young Turks succeed, then the Imperial Government will have no objections." Earl Taaff said.

Accepting a country that was originally a prey as his ally, Emperor Fritz was still very entangled. Austria-Hungary and Austria in particular had an interest in the Balkans, not only in the small countries of Serbia, but also in Turkey, the sick man in Eurasia. If it weren't for the fact that the two sides weren't next to each other, Austria-Hungary would have preferred Turkey over Serbia, which had a boss named Russia and Turkey alone.

In order for Austria-Hungary to accept this proposal, the prince had to cede some of his interests, for example, agreeing to give Austria-Hungary a 20% share in the export of arms to the Turkish army. At the same time, Turkey will be persuaded to give Austria-Hungary certain preferential policies in the fields of trade and agriculture.

"I am very satisfied with this result, and Turkey's accession will make the Allies stronger." The prince said with a smile and a nod.

"But there are three countries in the Allies, and it is not enough for Germany and us to accept, and Italy must also express its position, although it will not sign the relevant treaty now, but at least show some goodwill to Turkey." Earl Taaff said.

"I understand what you mean. Do you want Germany to step in and subjugate Italy? Your country is still not worried about Italy, right? A simple statement was not what the count needed, although after the prince's "visit" to Italy . Italy said nothing more on the German-Portuguese question. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Italy is not happy with this. Austria-Hungary, which had never had a good relationship with Italy, hoped to further suppress this dishonest ally.

"To be honest, we do lack control over Italy, they are self-centered. And the diplomatic approach is relatively flexible. However, I would ask the Kaiser to send a note to Italy and ask them to take a stand on the Turkish question. It's just a statement, and it shouldn't be that hard. The prince said.

"I heard that you and the Kingdom of Württemberg have signed a new cooperation agreement, and in the future, some of the car engines of both sides will be imported from the Kingdom of Württemberg, is this the case?" Earl Taaff said.

"That's right." The prince nodded and said.

"So why? Is it the lack of technical strength in Bohemia or the lack of production capacity? Or is it a financial problem? Earl Taaff frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

The prince's future industrial layout is such that Bavaria is responsible for the final assembly production of motor vehicles such as cars and tanks, as well as the future aviation industry. The Bohemian region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, later known as the Czech Republic, was responsible for the production of engines and some components, which had an advantage over Bavaria in terms of labor costs.

But for some historical reasons, the prince is very jealous of the Czechs who have independent tendencies, in line with the idea of not putting eggs in one basket, the prince decisively wants to share the risk, and the best sharer is the Kingdom of Württemberg, which also belongs to South Germany, as a brother who once worked with Bavaria and the central government, the relationship between the two sides is still very good, it turns out that Bavaria is poor, naturally can't give anything, but now it's different. Bavaria, which has become rich, can use money to take the relationship between the two sides to the next level.

And if you think about the famous companies such as DaimlerChrysler and Porsche, everyone knows that the industrial capacity of the Kingdom of Württemberg is absolutely just, and it can definitely complete the tasks entrusted by the prince.

"Mr. Earl, we can assure you that our orders from Austria will not be reduced, and we will also cooperate with the Austrian government to set up a new pharmaceutical factory." In order to appease the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the prince threw another olive branch. And this so-called new drug is the famous arsenic vanamin in later generations, and he has another new name called 606. (As for what to do, you can look it up on the Internet.) ）

The prince has invited the inventor of the drug, Paul. Ehrlich joined the newly formed Nuremberg Pharmaceutical Group, where he had already found the drug and was now in short supply. And such a huge cake prince wants to swallow alone, naturally it is more difficult. Therefore, it is better to cede benefits to Austria-Hungary than to give Prussia a "supply". After all, the former has become the "prey" of the prince.

Of course, the profits of drugs like 606 can be shared, but another drug that is more difficult to extract, has better effects, and is more important can only be exclusive to Bavaria, penicillin! When it first came out, the all-purpose elixir was not something that could be obtained by simple chemical synthesis, and it took time to select and cultivate the strains, and the initial yield was very small. The price is more expensive than gold! This kind of thing, the prince doesn't plan to throw it out now, at least until others can't take care of it, for example, before the outbreak ......of war.

"We can understand that." A simple exchange of interests. The interests of Austria-Hungary were not damaged, and a new peripheral member could be added to the present Austro-Hungarian-Bavarian Alliance, and the Count of Taaffe would naturally not object to such a bargain.
