Now the situation is clear, and Prussian companies share the market with the Bavarian royal family in the name of joint research and development. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info and in return to give Bavaria some help and support in terms of reserve army and financial financing. With armoured vehicles alone, Bavaria can get a slightly more than one-third of the profit. And then it will lead to the development of other industries, such as trailers, engines and machinery manufacturing, if there is a real cooperation, then these aspects have to be discussed. On the whole, the prince is relatively satisfied, but in some aspects, the prince still wants to fight for it.

To be honest, since the prince decided to let Bavaria take a share of the fruits of the victory on the Eastern Front in the future, the prince has been making preparations in all aspects, wanting the Kaiser to acquiesce to the expansion of Bavaria, and let his wife ascend to the Austrian throne, it is not possible to have enough strength, not to rely on the Austrians alone, and the original size of the Bavarian army, after all, it only accounts for less than 2% of the imperial army. This weight is still low!

For example, an armored battalion in Prussia has 45 tanks and fighting vehicles of various types, and the prince can get 60 ...... in Bavaria.

This seems to be a bit excessive, but in fact, it is normal for the troops to be overnumbered or absent, for example, most of the German armored forces in World War 2, and the overstaffed, such as the Greater German Division during the Battle of Kursk, if I remember correctly, all the Leopard tanks were incorporated into the Greater German Division. So now the question arises, why did Prussia have to accept a small establishment and let Bavaria remain large?

Originally, it was very simple, in terms of the current size of the army and the economic level, the situation in Bavaria was much better than that of the German central government, except that Prussia fed the larger troops with a small proportion of funds, the German navy was almost all built by the German central government, and the other German kingdoms invested very little in this regard, so Bavaria could give each army as many armored units as possible, and Prussia could never do it.

To give an example of a figurative point, for example, Prussia raised an army of 500,000 with 1 million marks, while Bavaria raised an army of 100,000 with 30 marks. The prince had always intended to do some ...... in the formation.

"I want to take the lead in the construction of armored forces." The prince thought for a moment and said.

"What do you mean?" Arnold. Siemens suddenly became alert, although the rise of the Siemens family is closely related to politics, and Arnold himself has no less dealings with politicians, but he only knows that there are some things that they cannot touch!

"Now Prussia has not done any research on armored forces, and the Kingdom of Bavaria has undoubtedly gone to the front. Therefore, I hope that our opinions can be followed in the preparation and construction plan. The prince explained.

"It's none of our business, we're just businessmen." Arnold itself is like a refusal. "And the Kaiser himself will be very resistant to this kind of thing."

"Some of the things you have done are already very resistant to the Kaiser. Or rather, what we are talking about now is very dissatisfying to Germany, your purpose is to make money, and use the name of military expansion to put the country's funds in your pockets. Those Juncker practices are wrong, but at the same time, your actions are not right. Is that so? ”

"Well, if you go down to the Siemens family, you haven't been very clean since the first telegraph line was laid, right? You're familiar with this. What's more, I think what we are doing is in the interests of the empire, and we can't let the layman lead the insider, right? The prince said, half-threatening and half-admonishing. The prince did not dare to overestimate the temperance of the German capitalists, but it was also good that it provided some convenience for his own actions.

"I need your help, and I'll give something in return. What do you think? It's a collaboration between you and me, and nothing else. The prince said.

"You're looking too highly of me." Arnold. Siemens did not answer directly.

"Think about it, we still have a lot of time anyway, we can take our time, we have a good start, we have reached a certain understanding with each other, although no agreement has been signed, but future discussions can be based on that." The prince seemed to be a little tired of what he said, and he was already preparing to give the eviction order.

This time the spy was for Arnold. Siemens has gained a lot, but may not have gained anything, after all, the two parties have only reached an intention, and there is no written agreement! In other words, now both the Bavarian side and the Prussian side have the opportunity to renege, but it is clear that the possibility of Prussia, as the active side, renegotiating is almost zero, but the Bavarian side will decide whether to implement this agreement based on what the other side has done.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Arnold. Siemens said after bowing slightly. Before leaving the door, he turned around again: "I will consider your personal advice to me, because I also think that laymen are not suitable for leading insiders. ”

"Your Royal Highness, your discussion with the Siemens family about these things is somehow beyond the normal scope of commerce, right? If the Kaiser were to know about this, it would be very disadvantageous to us. After the meeting, the prince told Count Schelling part of the meeting, and asked him to take charge of liaison with Prussian industry, which he was very busy. But the latter is clearly a little worried about the content of this meeting!

"First of all, the Kaiser wants us to share the big cake of the German military industry with the Prussian industrial enterprises, and many of the things we are discussing today are at the behest of the Kaiser. As the head of Siemens said, it is impossible for us to eat all the orders by ourselves, and it would be nice to be able to take a little more than a third. Even if we don't agree now, the Kaiser will force us to comply, by other means. Just like this Navy order. ”

"What's more, those Prussian industrial giants do have interests with us, we want to expand the army, and they want it too, so we aim our knives at some Junker nobles, the more chaos in Prussia is actually better for us, for the future, we also need to find some other powerful allies within the empire. As for the Kaiser's blame? They are not afraid of this group of businessmen, so what are we afraid of? Ruprecht said with a nonchalant smile.

No matter how good the relationship between the two sides is, that's it, no matter how bad the relationship is, can it be worse than history? Historically, Friedrich III (the prince's father) and the Kaiser did not even fight each other when they met, and the prince was not also the imperial marshal in the end? Isn't his uncle also the commander-in-chief of the German-Austrian Eastern Front? It doesn't matter!
