Chapter 139: Assassination of the Duke of Bavaria
The Duke of Bavaria wanted money, and it was millions. To this, our reply is that the empire has burned too much money here, and now it is still burning a lot of tickets here every day. So, let's invest 100,000 or 200,000 first. First helped the Duke of Bavaria to restore agricultural production. In two or three years, we will continue to invest in Bavaria. Two million such investments were given in batches. Of course, having accepted the wealth, we will set up a committee in the Duke of Bavaria to oversee the use of the money. At the same time, we will have a permanent army here in the Duchy of Bavaria, and the Duchy of Bavaria will be responsible for all supplies. Moreover, considering that the Duchy of Bavaria was ravaged by the French and the country's strength was damaged, we built the Duchy of Bavaria to bring in the population from the Duchy of Hesse, or to lower taxes and attract immigrants.
As for the proposal to buy iron ore from Prussia and Austria at parity, and war horses from us, what we ask of the Duchy of Bavaria in return is that the Duchy of Bavaria must raise the import and export tariffs on France after the war and limit the inflow of perfumes, silk, wine and porcelain from the French.
Actually, we are not wasting time here now, after all, most of the bills we put forward are indeed to be implemented in the Duchy of Bavaria, and all the proposals are to tie the Duchy of Bavaria to our belts. If it weren't for the Duke of Bavaria marrying Lori from Austria, and that Lori peeping at my wife. In addition, the Duke of Bavaria himself is really ambitious, and he wants to be a wall-riding faction. We don't need to kill him.
The Duke of Bavaria hesitated in the face of the provisions that we really wanted to implement in the Duchy of Bavaria, which were not based on reality like his proposals that the lion pulled out with his big mouth, and as long as we were not stupid, we knew at a glance that we were going to continue to bind the Duchy of Bavaria to our alliance. For the Duke of Bavaria. In order to obtain these benefits, they had to surrender their diplomatic freedoms, and from then on they had to confront France. Obviously, I've always wanted to play two tigers. The Duke of Bavaria, who reaped the benefits of the fisherman, was very reluctant to see such a situation.
But he didn't have a choice, did he, and if a tariff blockade was imposed on the French. The Duchy of Bavaria was completely dependent on imports of luxury goods and many goods from Austria and Rome. In other words. The money we gave to the Duchy of Bavaria went into our pockets. So, no matter how you look at it, we took the lion's share of this clause and agreement.
After throwing out the real conditions, the fake conditions that we had negotiated behind our backs also began to play.
As a sign of our respect for the Duke of Bavaria, we released a chest of gold that we had brought with us, which in addition to showing that we would have meat to eat, as well as personal compensation for the destruction of the French in the Duchy of Bavaria. The money. In fact, we melted down the gold and art that we had seized from the other German princes, and it was worth about 100,000 Dutch guilders. It is different from other financial subsidies. We won't ask where the Duke of Bavaria spent this money.
Bribery?
The Duke of Bavaria was no ordinary official, he was an ambitious man, and this money would certainly not be exchanged for his nod. We did this to show that we are good allies and that the Duchy of Bavaria has a future that follows us and eats meat. And this money is only a small part of that meat.
And what about that big part?
After the Duke of Bavaria had taken over the box of gold, we spoke very solemnly about Austria.
First of all, we first put forward the situation in Austria after the war, that is, after this battle, the position of the eldest princess should be relatively stable internally, after all, Austria brought us Rome and used Prussia, although the two sides only fought a draw, and also lost half of Aragon, but in any case, in all senses, the road to the future enthronement of Her Royal Highness the princess will be paved. Provided that Her Royal Highness the princess does not want to elevate the status of their Austrians, and then annoy us Romans.
It's just that, sadly, we found this to seem impossible. Because Her Royal Highness the princess, regardless of the overall situation, is bent on hooking up with the prince of Prussia, we all know it. Faced with this high probability of breaking the alliance, we Romans decided to support the Duke of Bavaria even more, and then let the Duke of Bavaria succeed in seizing power in Austria, kicking the Austrian princess who did not understand the affairs of the state at all.
This condition was put forward according to the ambition of the Duke of Bavaria, you know, the Duke of Bavaria knew that he would be beaten by France for his marriage to Austria, and then led the Duchy of Bavaria to be violently beaten by France? Of course, he coveted Austria's territory. However, it is clear that the marriage between the Duchy of Bavaria and Austria should be a joint rule between the Duke of Bavaria and the Princess of Austria. However, the Duke of Bavaria will not cross the line in the future, and reach out where it should not be touched. And if the Duke of Bavaria wants to take power in Austria and truly become the lord of Austria, the support of external forces, especially ours, is very important, even more than the support from within Austria.
Now, as soon as we set this condition out, then with our support, the Duke of Bavaria is basically half of the Austrian crown. The price paid is a drop in the bucket compared to the gains. As for the suspicion that our Rome is going back on its word, and the Duke of Bavaria is not stupid, can't he see that we are choosing the lesser of two evils? No matter how difficult he is, he is also a person who can negotiate, and if we promise to support him, we will naturally do our best. And the Austrian princess, hehehe, I guess everyone won't talk about it together. So, for a careerist like the Duke of Bavaria, would he not agree to such a sure-fire deal? and if Austria was acquired, wouldn't he have more capital to swing between France and Rome and become a wall-rider?
Although the Duke of Bavaria was very reserved in saying that the Austrian princess made such a mistake at a young age, and that he was a typical Western European nobleman with a very high moral level, in the end, he chose to agree to our proposal. Prepare to launch a bottom-up revolution in the future and seize the rule of the Austrian princess.
Sure enough, it is a very typical European aristocrat, and it is typical to take the archway if you want to make a watch.
However, what really taught me and my friends the discipline of the Duke of Bavaria was that this great loss was very quickly "reluctantly" and "very considerate of us Romans" and made a proposal: "Let me rape the Austrian princess, and then I can train her from now on." ”
Reason?
The Duke of Bavaria said that when he played that loli badly, "we" would be able to take power from within Austria more smoothly.
As for how to play that Lori?
Have we forgotten that the Austrian loli was in love with Feletria?
Lori is lost, and the Duke of Bavaria uses this grip as a handle, if Lori doesn't want Feleteria to know about it, then obediently be a cute little [] dog.
Yes...
This big loss of a festival actually talked about how to break the Lori in front of me and my friends.,And while talking, my eyebrows fluttered.。
In the face of such a perversion, I am even more sure that we did not kill the wrong person, but we have never heard that the Duke of Bavaria is such a person, is it because the resentment is too deep, so that the Duke of Bavaria is middle-aged and goes crazy?
There seems to be a possibility.
I thought back a few times about my meetings with the Lori and the Duke of Bavaria, and how the Lori described the Duke of Bavaria.
"Old things", "fat people", "bald heads" are endless, and ordinary people will probably be very angry when they hear it once, let alone for several months in a row... (To be continued......)
