The Rise of the Empire

"Unexpectedly." The Grand Duke said in his heart that the Russian Polish region is relatively developed, and it is relatively close to the German mainland, which is naturally a popular product, while the Russian hinterland is a bit worse than the Polish region, and the distance is far, but it can be divided into territories. There are many. If you don’t choose a place, Württemberg should be able to divide the territory area not less than the mainland. As for the Transcaucasian region, the most valuable oil field is the oil field. In this regard, it seems that Bavaria can share the profit but will not hand over management. In addition, a large number of troops are needed. How many troops are there in Württemberg? This is a game of great powers, obviously not something Wurttemberg can easily participate in.

　　 "It's not in a hurry, your Excellency, we still have enough events to think about this issue. I hope that the Grand Duchy of Württemberg can continue our traditional friendship between the three countries of South Germany." Auguste III said. "If you don't mind, I still have something to do, leave it first."

"You are at your disposal, and in addition, please convey to the King and Crown Prince of Bavaria the gratitude of the Kingdom of Württemberg for the assistance of the Kingdom of Bavaria on your behalf. We will continue to unite for our common interests." Grand Duke Albrecht said .

While the representatives of the two kingdoms of Württemberg and Saxony were communicating, in another room, the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Albert of Prussia, and Grand Duke Friedrich of Oldenburg were also discussing how to In response to this meeting, Prussia and the two Grand Duchy constituted the core force of the Kaiser faction. They also have their own demands.

　　 "I would like to ask a question now. In this meeting, is the Kingdom of Bavaria our friend or our enemy? Or is it just a neutral character?" Prince Friedrich asked.

"It's hard to say. In fact, we are still uncertain about the attitude of Bavaria so far. Before the incident, Crown Prince Ruprecht reminded us to strengthen the management of supplies to deal with unexpected events, but now? They have not accepted us. According to the opinion, Bavaria seems to keep weakening our attitude and help the parliament in certain matters.” Grand Duke Baden said.

　　 "But even if Bavaria is not friendly, we still can't take revenge, is that right?" Prince Friedrich asked.

"That's the case. This meeting will only solve the problem of sharing the interests of other states except Prussia. The new territory assigned to Prussia will belong to us and the parliament in the future. However, the specific division is still full of variables. Therefore, we cannot target Bavaria at this time." Grand Duke Baden said.

　　 "So who are our allies this time? What are the attitudes of others?" Friedrich asked.

"As for you and me in the Grand Duchy, the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the two Mecklenburg Duchys tend to be Bavaria, and the Saxony-Weimar attitude is unclear, but it seems that they have reached some tacit agreement with the parliament. As for the other small states , They are more to follow the trend. The parliamentarians may get the support of the three free cities and the Alsace-Lorraine region. Generally speaking, we are evenly matched with the parliamentarians, but not as good as Bavaria." Grand Duke Baden thought for a while and said .

　　 "This time, after all, it's a cake distribution event, don't the Grand Duchy of Baden have any ideas?" Friedrich asked.

"What we want is the area around Vilnius (located on the border between Lithuania and Belarus in later generations), obtained from the area controlled by His Majesty the Emperor, with an area of ​​about 30,000 square kilometers. I intend to call it the Second Baden. ." Grand Duke Baden said proudly.

　　 With the power of the Grand Duchy of Baden, a Grand Duchy with an original territory of only 15,000 square kilometers, and almost never participated in the Eastern Front. To obtain such a place on the Eastern Front is regarded as the Emperor's favor. After all, this place is completely separated from the control area of ​​Prussia. The Kaiser is still very good with his absolute iron. As for more places? The Grand Duchy of Baden itself can't support it either. You know, the Grand Duchy of Württemberg has almost one legion's strength. With twice the size of its territory, it can only obtain such a large area in the Russian hinterland.

　　 "That's really congratulations, your Excellency." Friedrich said with a smile.

　　 "If you have any request, you can also say it." At this time, Prince Albert, who had not spoken, spoke.

"His Royal Highness should be very clear that Oldenburg is not too strong in the Grand Duchy, so we don't have too much hope for the territory, but if we can give us a port on the Baltic Sea coast, we will be satisfied." Derich thought for a while and said.

　　 "This is not a problem. You can choose anywhere else except Riga Bay." Prince Albert said.

　　 "Why can't Riga Bay choose?" The old man frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Because ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has been booked by the two Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg. Their family suffered heavy losses in this turmoil, so they need some compensation. Bavaria supports these two Grand Duchy, and the parliament has Express understanding. What's more, the Mecklenburg-Schmerlin Grand Principality has also paid a lot in this war." Prince Albert said in a tone as softly as possible.

　　 "It seems that this time, Bavaria used Prussian interests in exchange for others' loyalty to him? It's really... not very good." Friedrich said dissatisfied.

　　 "Sometimes you always have to give in. Your Excellency can think about what you want. His Majesty the Kaiser can always meet your needs." Prince Albert said.

"This is not in a hurry. The key is that this time the emperor's authority must be maintained. I will contact the leaders of other states. I think they will make a choice that satisfies us." Duke Friedrichcha The topic was opened. Obviously, continuing to bargain at this time is not a good choice. Since he decided to take the side of Prussia, he must do something to get the benefits. The Grand Duke still understands this well, so he decided not to negotiate terms. work!

　　 If Bavaria is using the exchange of interests to unite its allies, the Kaiser’s side is entirely an alliance drawn up by marriage. Then the parliamentary party is truly party politics! Outside the venue, Albert met with representatives of other states in Prussia in a villa far from the city. Most of these representatives are leaders of small states.
