To make these ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria aware that the more people intervene in the choice of the new Dukes of Bavaria, the more disadvantageous it will be to them, and we throw our olive branch to the henchmen of these Dukes of Bavaria.

We will join forces with the ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria to block the news of the Duke's death, and then, as much as possible, peacefully take the position of Duke of Bavaria.

The reason for the partnership is simple for us.

If the French had heard the news of the death of the Duke of Bavaria, they would have been overjoyed. Who allowed the Duke of Bavaria to overturn their good intentions some time ago, but "swallowed" the gift they sent? Then, perhaps, the negotiations that had been negotiated a few days ago would be overturned.

Our army of more than 100,000 has been confronting the French on the German border for so long, that the Duchy of Hesse is almost exhausted by our local grain requisition, and if we stay any longer, we may shake the capital of Austria and Bavaria. And this is definitely not what the ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria want to see. You know, the French ravaged Bavaria three years ago. If they play again, even if the ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria finally manipulate the Duke of Bavaria as a puppet, their Duchy of Bavaria will have long been made to the point that they are not even scum. In the face of ruins, such a emperor is interesting to play?

In order to make us appear to these Bavarian ministers that we are good people worthy of being issued good people cards, and very worthy of cooperation, the treaty we had negotiated with the Duke of Bavaria was taken out again. What is expressly signed, we will find the new Duke of Bavaria to continue to carry it out. The conditions that had been agreed behind the scenes were changed from the guns and horses of the Duke of Bavaria and the support for Austria to the financial support of the Duchy of Bavaria.

Ostensibly, we are at a loss. The Duke of Bavaria died. Not only did the plan to control the Duchy of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Austria completely bankrupt by relying on the Duke of Bavaria, a loyal and staunch ally. It also made Bavaria, which was originally able to stand firmly on the side of the empire, have a very big situation for a while, and it will be out of our control at any time.

But in reality, as long as we do it right, we don't have to fulfill all the conditions we promised to Bavaria. Because, to help the Duke of Bavaria to control the Kingdom of Austria, these are the big heads! We spend twice as much time negotiating on this issue than on other fronts! And if we want to realize all kinds of plans, the money burned is simply measured in the number of tons. Same as what we did in the Duchy of Bavaria. The bribes made to the ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria are simply not comparable.

Fortunately, the Duke of Bavaria died, and for the moment these Bavarian ministers. Their best bet would be to cooperate with us and help us take control of the Duchy of Bavaria. Therefore, without the Duke of Bavaria, we and the ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria are another grasshopper on a rope in the joint control of the Duchy of Bavaria. They can't do without us. We can't do without them. As long as more benefits are given to each person, the cost will be reduced in an instant.

How to block the news of the death of the Duke of Bavaria and the accession of the new Duke of Bavaria. We were prepared. First of all, I have to attend the armistice signing ceremony, where one of the Duke of Bavaria's confidants will be in place of the Duke of Bavaria, while we are in the process of signing the treaty. Valence and Constans, the two henchmen who took the rest of the Duke of Bavaria's henchmen to control the army of the Duke of Bavaria and the Duke of Bavaria's distant relatives and close neighbors within the Duchy.

Although the number of troops in the Duchy of Bavaria is not more than 10,000, and the combat effectiveness is good, most of the members of this army are nobles. Accused them. It is equivalent to gaining the approval of most of the nobles of the Duchy of Bavaria. This is very important for us who try not to make a big deal out of it.

Only, before that. Which of the Duke's relatives of Bavaria would be more worthy of discussion with the ministers of the Duchy of Bavaria, even if we already have a suitable solution in mind.

Regarding the puppet, choosing children may be the first choice for most people, who makes them easy to control, and in the process of growing up, as long as they don't make mistakes in training, they will generally raise a submissive waste. Well, that's what I told Constans and Alexander. And the basis of my remarks, I won't sue them, it's all kinds of anime from the 21st century.

It's just that, after our investigation, in addition to the fact that the Duke of Bavaria has no sons, his brothers and sisters are also early, and the children born are basically adults.

What to do?

Originally, we had a headache about which one to choose, after all, there were so many brothers of the Duke of Bavaria, and we fancy it, and the legitimacy is not necessarily much higher than others.

And then, Morris shines a little bit here. He said that he would come as he pleased, and anyway, when the time came, when the Duke of Novobavaria came to the throne, he would beat and intimidate them until they were afraid.

Seriously, a few of us immediately raised our hands and feet in favor of this mention. No matter who it is, if you are caught and beaten, until you are afraid, until you dare not do anything, you will be fine, right?

So, when it came to asking the Bavarians, we generously gave the Bavarians the right to choose the building.

As expected.

The grandson of the third son of the Duke of Bavaria's father, the son of the younger brother of the Duke of Bavaria, came into view.

It doesn't matter who this is or what it's called, the important thing is that he has a very good quality as a puppet.

23,4 years old, reputation includes the following, lazy, reckless and robbing people's daughters, as well as often going to gambling, chaotic private life, often unable to make ends meet.

Caught and made a duke, and sent Morris to train for three or two months, it is estimated that he will be able to take on the role of holding the puppet and eating the golden rice bowl for a lifetime.

Of course, it is not enough for us to have people, and the French, when we are about to elect the duke of Novobavaria, will naturally arrange one or two people to be double-faced agents. In the meantime, let Valence and Constans investigate the Bavarians.

It took more than two days to discuss the matter, and in the meantime the messenger I sent brought me a huge mass of cavalry, and I began to return with the henchmen of the former Duke of Bavaria to the place where the treaty was to be signed.

That's right, I'm just afraid of death, afraid that the little Condé, who was so stunned that he was compared to two hundred and five, would come out with a few infantry cannons to bombard me, so I found thousands of cavalry to do a large-scale reconnaissance to pave the way for my return.

Condé Jr. really thought that my death would lead the Empire to declare war on France regardless of the situation, so when the contract was signed at Straburg, the goods never appeared.

From the Duke of Luxembourg, I found that the goods had gone to Metz.

Well, if the prince of the Great Condendé had known, he would have been very angry with such an unseeded son, and if he had, he would have probably led his troops out to fight Alexander and them with him while laughing loudly.

Of course, I secretly wrote down all these French generals who were surprised to see me, and if nothing else, they at least had a part in the assassination of "me".

I had toured the scene and investigated the testimony of the people at the scene.

The group of French who assassinated me, probably killed half of them because of a round of shelling, and obviously rushed out half of them, beating the Bavarians to the ground, and then inexplicably laughed and shouted "This is the punishment of the French", and then not only ran away without even examining the corpse, but also threw down the infantry guns printed on the French arsenal on the spot, for fear that we would not know that it was the French who attacked me this time.

It's just a pity that the French didn't succeed in their idea of being able to get the living people to run back to report the news, and indirectly, the "conspiracy" of the French who had reached the extreme of 25 naturally did not succeed.

We signed an armistice with the French on the same day.

Whew, the battle that has been fought back and forth for almost five years is over. (To be continued......)
