The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1720 Meeting with Austrian Emperor 2

"Any effort should be rewarded! The German Empire, Austria, Bavaria, and Hungary all participated in this war as independent or semi-independent forces. Then they should take a share of the spoils, and if they follow this In principle, as the Grand Duke of Bohemia and Moravia, Princess Mary and her offspring should also be given their own trophies. Do you agree with this matter?" The Austrian Emperor said with a serious face.

"Fuck!" Grand Duke Baden really didn't know what to say about this. He knew what the Austrian Emperor meant by independent or semi-independent power. Powers such as Württemberg, Saxony, and their own Grand Duchy of Baden are definitely not counted, not only because these kingdoms or duchies are too weak to be considered a number, but more importantly, within the entire German Empire, except for Bavaria Besides, all the armies of other kingdoms or principalities were supported by the German central government. This is also the fundamental reason why in history, when describing the German military power, only the Bavarian Army can be named after the Bavarian First Army and Second Army, while other kingdoms cannot.

And if it is based on the standard of owning its own army, then the Bohemia-Moravian Legion is really a prince... Because the military expenses of this corps are at least on the face of it really counted as Grand Duke Mary herself! When I think of this, the Grand Duke of Baden feels depressed. Everyone is also a Grand Duke. This Duke himself is also very famous in Germany. It is also regarded as a top noble in Europe, but compared with Duke Mary, hey, this gap It's really big!

"But you didn't mention it before. During the negotiation between the three companies, there was no grandfather. If you are willing to compensate your daughter, you can take some of the spoils of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Grand Duke Baden said.

"However, when the Prussian side first violated the results of the negotiation, do you still expect others to comply? Don't you find this idea very ridiculous? In terms of morality, you and the Prussian behind you have no reason."

"Now, it is completely legal and reasonable for Bavaria to dispose of its own territory. After all, the so-called Kingdom of Poland has not yet been established. The occupied area on the Eastern Front should be under the control of the Eastern Front. Ruprecht is willing to give , We obey the order, there is no problem. As for the Kaiser thought that we provoke his dignity, I can only say sorry, because he broke the rules of the game in the first place. What we do, after all, needs to be endured! "Ao Huang said.

Although the relationship between Austria-Hungary and Germany is generally good recently, there are still some problems between the two sides, especially during the Bismarck period, when the German Emperor also vetoed the requirements of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and as prime minister Bismarck is constantly restricting the ambitions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the interior of Bar. This is what it means to not let the powerful Germany be kidnapped by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And now, the Austrian Emperor had already admitted that he was on the side of Bavaria in this matter, and at the same time found a reasonable reason.

After all, when it comes to fighting in the Polish region, the Bohemia-Moravian Army’s contribution is definitely much greater than the 200,000 troops started by the East Prussian Army. As a relatively independent military force, you really can't say anything if people want a piece of the pie!

Of course, the most critical point is what the Aohuang said just now, since everyone has broken the rules of the game and lost the previous trust, then it depends on how much you can get! Prussia wants it, but Bavaria will not give it. What can you do to me? !

"This attitude is very unfriendly!" Grand Duke Baden said in his heart. However, at this time, the Austrian Emperor dared to showdown on himself, which shows that he has this confidence. I came here to reconcile conflicts, not to create conflicts. Grand Duke Baden knew that he could not tell the Kaiser what he said just now. It would only make the relationship between the two parties more tense, and to be honest, even Tell the Kaiser about this, what can the Kaiser do? When most of the generals in the General Staff did not support the Kaiser, the Kaiser had lost the ability to use powerful means to solve problems. At this time, the Grand Duke believed that even Prime Minister Holvig in Berlin would not dare anymore. What is promoting Polish independence!

"Your Majesty, believe me, if things develop, this result is definitely not what you and I want to see." Grand Duke Baden's expression was already a little anxious.

"If you want to solve the problem, you should not come to me, but to the Lord. Prussia is trying to win by digging a wall. This is originally full of hostility. Just now you said that everyone wants A negotiated settlement, and the prerequisite for a negotiated settlement is mutual goodwill, and there is absolutely no goodwill when you come to Vienna instead of Saint Sophia?" The Austrian Emperor asked rhetorically.

"This is the rhythm of throwing the pot!" Grand Duke Baden could obviously feel that it was the Austrian Emperor who asked him to find Ruprecht to solve this problem. However, he really didn't want to face this Bavarian. The crown prince, because the opponent looked more determined than the Austrian emperor, and could not solve the problem....

"I will go to Saint Sophia, but before that, I would like to remind your majesty that you should stay out of the affairs of Germany~www.wuxiaspot.com~. And now, the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are enough for you to keep busy. Now." Grand Duke Baden said with a deep breath. "In addition, as an ally, I really want to know how you really want to deal with Hungary. We don't mean to interfere in your internal affairs, just want to know."

"Is this another mission for you?" Ao Huang said with a smile. "A centralized and efficient country is the same as the German Empire. Hungary will be weakened, but it will still exist. The empire will become a federal system, and Austria will become the strongest existence in the confederation, and it will have an overwhelming advantage over other states. In addition, the Grand Duchy of Bohemia and Moravia will be hereditary. This can be regarded as a father giving his daughter a little selfishness. After all, you know that, I have found it in the Habsburg royal family. There is no right person! I always have to leave something."

"Huh?!" Unexpectedly, it made sense! How can you have no selfishness as a person? The Austrian emperor dealt heavily with Hungary in order to centralize power, while at the same time supporting Bohemia-Moravia, obviously for his daughter. The eldest son of Princess Mary is now the nationality of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It stands to reason that in the future, the throne of Bavaria should be inherited by another son. In this case, it seems very good!
