"Uncle, are you ready?" Crown Prince Ruprecht asked respectfully. This respect is not only because Prince Leopold is his elder, but also because the Prince is his comrade in arms. He is the one who has always firmly supported him. Even when the crown prince’s father was skeptical, Prince Leopold still had full confidence in him and gave him a lot of support. And this time, Prince Leopold took on the task of sending "notices" to the Kaiser.
What notification do you send? Naturally, it was the notice of the ceremony that Prince Mary is about to become the crown prince. If no German representatives were present at this ceremony, then the crown prince canonization ceremony was too shabby? Well, in addition to the matter of face, it is more important to give the Kaiser a "vaccination" to prevent the other party from doing any "irrational" behavior. Therefore, we must send a weighty and capable person to do this. Things.
Originally, this matter was intended to let Earl Schelling go, but Prince Leopold thought that Earl Schelling’s status was a little low, and he was afraid that he could not live in the place. This so-called unattainable place did not only mean facing the emperor and Pakistan. Duke Deng is a noble man in these days, an earl obviously lost some points, and more importantly, this time, he must be able to control the Prussian army! After all, the latter is the holder of the Prussian gun!
The prince will definitely meet these people when he goes to Brussels. Prince Leopold needs to tell them that after Princess Mary becomes the crown prince, Bavaria will remain in the German Empire and Ruprecht will still be the king of the German Empire in the future. . Changes in the status of family members will not affect changes in the Empire's territory. Although Ruprecht will intervene in the administration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the crown prince has actually intervened in the administration of Bohemia and Moravia, so this matter is not too big a problem.
As for the question, what if Prince Leopold goes to the Kaiser and prevents him from meeting with the officers? The crown prince Ruprecht can only say that this possibility is unlikely, because once Prince Leopold arrives at Brussel, even if the prince himself does not find the commanders of the armed forces, those people will also Those who took the initiative to find the prince, because the prince's statement will be the basis for their next action. And at this time, the Emperor, who is difficult to protect himself from the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, would naturally not refuse the "little request" of the group army bosses!
Even if there was an accident, the German Emperor was too resolute, or Prince Leopold failed to reach an agreement with the top German army for other reasons, then the crown prince also arranged a remedial plan, which is to use the Prussian Army still on the front line. The high-ranking Bavarian military officers in combat contacted them, clarified their views and attitudes to them, so as to gain mutual understanding. After all, as long as the political ownership of the Kingdom of Bavaria does not change, the officer corps will not have to fight to the end. What's more, in the future of the German army after the war, the Kingdom of Bavaria will still be needed for help.
Although the officer corps is powerful, it is only possible to subvert the power when it is truly capable of subverting the government. It is absolutely impossible in peacetime. In peacetime, it is the Federal Assembly that really determines the fate of the empire, which is the votes of all the kingdoms, grand duchy and free states of Prussia. Therefore, from this perspective, if you don't want to be uncomfortable after the war, the top German army still has to establish a good relationship with the Kingdom of Bavaria.
After all, if you want to pass a bill, it's not the Prussian family that has the final say, but a bill to be rejected? The Bavarian family is almost enough! The high-level Germans can understand with their knees that in the future, the Kingdom of Bavaria and its allies will inevitably play a very important role in Germany and can determine government affairs! After the war, in terms of population, land area, and industrial power, Bavaria has clearly exceeded a quarter of the ratio required to veto the resolution! (The number of votes in the Bundestag is generally based on the proportion of the population, but each state is guaranteed to have at least one vote. The votes of these small states are actually squeezed out of Prussia and Bavaria.) And even if it is a little bit, the Bavarian family did not get enough vetoes. With regard to the number of votes for the proposal, the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Southern States of Germany can absolutely veto any proposal!
If you look at it from your own point of view, if certain senior personnel do not want to be liquidated by the Kaiser or parliament after the war, then it is necessary to have a good relationship with Bavaria. After all, if something really happens. Going to Bavaria, as long as the crown prince is willing to provide asylum, Prussia can't help it. Perhaps in terms of legal provisions, the Prussian courts and police have law enforcement powers in Bavaria, but in fact it is another matter. As a Bavarian kingdom that can set up foreign agencies in other countries in history, there is still some judicial independence!
As for how to escape to a foreign country? This is somewhat suspected of treason, as a senior general of the German military suddenly ran abroad? Let alone whether you are justified, from the perspective of ensuring national security, the German intelligence agencies have 10,000 reasons to deal with you! After all no one guarantees that you will not leak state secrets at critical moments, and no one is willing to do so as a last resort! Not to mention other external factors, the threshold in my heart will not pass! From a practical point of view, it is more convenient to go to Bavaria than to go abroad. After all, there is no need to apply for a visa between the two countries, and they just wandered down a certain country road in a car... After that, there is no need to be afraid of the Kaiser or Albert's autumn queens.
"Get ready, you can set off tomorrow." Prince Leopold said.
"Don't wait two more days. You can take my guards. Your personnel, equipment and supplies are brought from Bavaria, so it is safer." Crown Prince Ruprecht was a little worried. Said that in order to ensure the safety of his uncle this time, he hopes to plug all possible loopholes.
"I think it's not enough to have a guard regiment alone. Should I bring an armored battalion? Then I will be assigned to an air force ground liaison team so that when necessary, the Bavarian air force on the western front can be directly mobilized?" Leopold The prince said jokingly.
"Forget it, believe me, no matter whether it is the Kaiser or the officer regiment, they will not let me have an accident. The guards are just guards of honor. One company has a few companies, and one regiment is the king's level. A battalion just suits me. "The Prince said with a smile. (Historically, there were 6 regiments of the Imperial Guard in the 1890s. In peacetime, the Bavarian Guards consisted of two regiments. One was owned by King Ludwig III of Bavaria, and the other was owned by Ruprecht. Crown Prince.)
