Chapter 972 - Coaxing and Deception 2
And the saddest thing is that this matter finally leaked ....... The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this made his reputation not only a huge blow in Germany, but also in his own country!
And what is even more unbelievable is that the political wisdom of this grand duke is so low, he actually wants to be the emperor of Hungary, at that time Hungary was already controlled by Horthy, and the regent of the family was so good, why should he put a tight spell on his head? This can only be said to be crazy about the throne! And extremely apolitically minded!
Therefore, for such a competitor, the prince can only say that he is too embarrassed ...... identity. Even if he doesn't have the political skills of Bismarck and others like a dragon, he is at least a tiger, but his opponent is a rabbit .......
If Crown Prince Ferdinand doesn't have a problem, then the prince will not dare to plot against the Austro-Hungarian throne, after all, this is unacceptable to both Germany and Austria-Hungary.
If a person comes up, if he has some level, then he is still not good, but he is too poor to come up and others, is he not able to govern the country, and he can't fight a war, and he is still a mess politically, so this person gave the prince courage and confidence.......
Of course, with the ambition and ability of the prince, and the level of security of the Austro-Hungarian royal family, ....... If Archduke Ferdinand doesn't die, why don't you give him another "accident"?
As for what if the Emperor asks the prince for evidence? Isn't that easy? Give it directly! The previous things are all evidence, and the Austrian emperor will never dare to ask the prince for evidence of the relationship between Archduke Karl and the British, because, after all, the previous thing is an internal problem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the latter thing involves relations with Germany!
What if the prince does come up with evidence? Do you deal with it or not? Now Karl is just an ordinary Grand Duke, such a character has access to foreign countries, you still don't care? But how do you get it? Captivity? Or pull it out and get killed? This man is still connected to the Hungarian high-level, and if you kill him, what will the Hungarians think? People are also worried about the Autumn Queen's accounting! And if it didn't happen, if the Kaiser knew about it, the situation would be ....... It's so beautiful, I dare not look at it! So this is a dead end, a dead end where Fritz does not see a solution for the time being!
Therefore, the prince has already guessed the possible choice of the Emperor, that is, to investigate the affairs of the Archduke Karl at home first, and as for the affairs of the British, take it slowly, and it will gradually weaken the power of the Archduke Karl, making him an insignificant role, after all, this is the safest and safest. And the Emperor Ao must also come up with some benefits in order to "appease" the prince, so that everyone will be .......
And the prince can still guess the choice of the Grand Duke Karl, and in the case of realizing that he is getting farther and farther away from the throne, the Grand Duke may really take a risk, and if so, it will really be done! The prince couldn't help but praise his belly and political talents!
"I always thought it was impossible to contact the British, maybe it was just some chasing after the wind." Fritz said with a frown.
"I'm just kindly reminding you that it's really not good to poke this thing out, after all, it's a heavy blow to the reputation of the royal family and the relationship between Germany and Austria, but this kind of thing can't continue, and I'm not just talking about the connection with the British, but also with the Hungarian side! This was a heavy blow to the Empire, which fueled the national separatist tendencies within the Empire! The prince said.
"This matter still needs to be investigated, and if that's the case, I know what to do." Fritz naturally wouldn't have dealt with Archduke Karl because of the prince's words, he naturally needed to investigate it himself, but this was enough, because Karl did have some deals with the Hungarian side, and he did it before he came to power, or even before he became the crown prince, where did he put the Austrian emperor? So, if you want to get rid of Carl, you need to take it step by step, and this time, the prince's purpose has been achieved.
At this point, Fritz knew that today's conversation could not continue, and if Archduke Karl really did what the prince said, then Austria-Hungary would definitely not let him inherit, otherwise, not to mention what the prince would do, Prussia would have dealt with him first, ....... And if you don't choose Karl, then who can get on? It seems, maybe, maybe it's just Princess Mary? But what will Prussia do? What will be the attitude at home? Even if Fritz really plans to pass on the throne to Princess Mary in the end, then there is still a lot to be done.
"Okay, that's it for today, as for the naval issue, you and Admiral House can talk more, you decide these things yourself, in addition, I can order the Austro-Hungarian Legion to cooperate with you, and there will definitely be no more accidents in materials and other aspects, I am serious." Emperor Ao said.
"That's better." Ruprecht said. "Would you have a problem if I were to transfer two Super Dreadnoughts away?"
"If Mary becomes empress, then you will also be regent of Austria. What to do you should know yourself. You're fighting very well, both on land and at sea, so even if I can't understand it, I still choose to believe you this time. After a moment of contemplation, Fritz finally delegated the command of the Mediterranean Fleet to the prince. And this time, the basic purpose of the prince's trip to Vienna was also half achieved!
"Besides, Mary needs to know something, and she needs to do something. If one day, my empire really reaches the point of no return, then at least Austria must be kept, Munich is your home, and the future Vienna, Hoffmann Palace, is also your home. When Ruprecht was about to leave, Fritz finally said.
"Okay, I'll do my best Father, for our own sake and for a better tomorrow for our kingdom." Ruprecht turned his head and said as he looked at the already haggard monarch.
"Ruprecht, how is my father?" As soon as the prince came out, he ran into Princess Mary, who was waiting beside him.
"He's tired and a little emaciated." The prince looked at the concerned look in his wife's eyes, and instead of talking about military and political matters, he changed the subject. "Let's go again tomorrow, and don't talk about those troublesome things these days. Leave the military affairs to me. ”
