Chapter 1512： Kaiser's Tactic One

Chapter 1512 The German emperor's plot 1

"Prime Minister Holvig has calmed down the riot easily. The Social Democrats have suffered heavy losses in this operation. For a long time, we probably don't have to worry about the troubles from the Parliament." William The crown prince said with some pride when he looked at the documents he had just sent.

"Well, that's it. The result is very good. After this incident, more Prussian nobles and soldiers will join the parliament, and we will better control the country's economic and military lifeline. It can be said that in the German system Internally, our rule is very stable." The Kaiser nodded in agreement.

"However, after the victory of this war, your prestige will rise to the next level, and the German Empire will truly rise and become the most powerful existence on this planet! And you will also become the emperor of Europe and the ruler of the world. "Prince William said with some excitement.

"Well, that's the case, and one day when my life comes to an end, you will eventually be crowned emperor!" William II said with some pride. However, as everyone knows, in this case, he set himself a great one!

"Since our domestic problems have been resolved, and victory is not far away from us, I think we should discuss some other issues, such as our ally-the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and our small partners in the south- —The Kingdom of Bavaria!" William II turned around and said.

"This..." The prince was shocked by the degree of the emperor's thinking. It was difficult for him to understand. Just now, less than a minute ago, the emperor and Bavaria dealt with the domestic parties together. Backhand calculating your allies? Didn’t your father also say before that the cooperation between Prussia and Bavaria can achieve the glorious future of the German Empire? Why are you preparing to start so early now?

"Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. Your reaction makes me very worried about your political ability." The Kaiser smiled and said: "I have a very good relationship with Ruprecht, whether it is official or private. It’s all like this. We are true and equal friends, even different from Xiao Maoqi. Because for the latter, I am his monarch and he is my knight. We are a master-servant relationship. When you choose to become the emperor, then you are destined to be lonely. Because everyone is your servant. You can hardly find a person who can be equal to you, like a friend, so from a certain To a certain extent, Ruprecht’s appearance is a blessing for me."

"However, good feelings are good feelings. Friendship belongs to friendship. Politics is not about friendship. Ruprecht is really talented. As the future king of Bavaria, he and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are so close to Prussia. A threat, a very big threat. The reason why I didn’t dare to move before the war was because the shadow of war lingered on our heads. I didn’t dare to move during the war because the war and the domestic political turmoil restrained me. His hands and feet. But this matter can't be dragged on endlessly. Otherwise, if the day when I can't govern, you won't be his opponent!" The Kaiser said with some sorrow.

Wilhelm II was ten years older than Ruprecht, so if he had to make time, the Kaiser did not consider himself an opponent of the prince. Therefore, he wants to settle these things for his son.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you plan to reduce the territory promised to Bavaria?" the prince thought for a while and asked.

"This is not a good choice. Believe me, at least it is not a good choice until the Emperor Fritz passes the throne to the heir, because it will bring Bavaria and Austria-Hungary closer. Such a blatant embezzlement of each other’s interests will It makes both feel uneasy, and Prussia has no reason or enough power to subdue this empire and a kingdom." When William II spoke, there was also a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, because he did not expect that his son would actually So not on the road.......

"Then what is the purpose of maintaining this relationship between Emperor Fritz and Bavaria? You said that Bavaria will not enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because it means that the two countries had war before, so why did the Austrian Emperor take the risk? At the risk of offending us to maintain this special relationship? Even giving the Bohemia-Moravia region to his daughter?" The prince did not understand.

"Because the strength and population of Bavaria can help them to subdue the Hungarians in the country! The purpose of political marriage is mutual benefit! With Bavarian industry as the backing, Austria can quickly develop its own industry, thereby enhancing the government's strength, and with Bavaria The flow of Germans in Austria can also allow the Germans in Austria to occupy a higher proportion, thereby subduing the domestic minorities. After having money and stabilizing the country, Austria will not have to worry about Hungary in adopting some policies. The so-called duality The balance of the empire has been gradually broken with the addition of Bavaria."

"Look at it. After this war, the Hungarians will never gain much benefit, and they can only pinch their noses to recognize it. This is not only because they have little competition with Austria, which is backed by Bavaria, but also It is also because of their economy and the population of Hungary that they cannot eat too much!"

"And Bavaria also got what they wanted Hehe, look at the title of Ruprecht’s wife, the Grand Duke of Bohemia-Moravia! That is nothing short of a piece. The land is in the area of ​​the Kingdom of Bavaria, and it is also one of the most industrially developed areas in the Austro-Hungarian Empire! With this place, the strength of the Kingdom of Bavaria has increased by at least 60%. The Wittelsbach family owned both a kingdom and a grand duchy . And because of this generous dowry, the foundation for the rise of Bavaria was laid! The teacher said that this kingdom is now very strong, not weaker than the second-rate European countries!" William II sneered.

"The key to weakening Bavaria is not that we act on him within the German system, but the periphery! Austro-Hungary! It turned out that when Grand Duke Ferdinand was the crown prince, I was not worried at all. Ferdinand was also a chest People with great ambitions will not allow an independent grand duchy to appear in his own country. I was thinking very well that after Fritz’s abdication, I would join forces with Grand Duke Ferdinand to gradually weaken Bavaria’s influence on Bohemia. Control, and then, only the local Wittelsbach family can make trouble. At that time, our struggle with Bavaria will be over, and it is not impossible to even give him the position of imperial prime minister. ."
