Chapter 2394： Father and Son One

"What do you think? My child." The Kaiser did not comment. Instead, he asked Prince Albert, who was sitting on the left.

"Even if he comes from a humble background, he is still capable. What's more, his current status and power are relatively large. It is understandable to have Prince Ruprecht's recommendation to participate in this salon. After all, we want to give that person The crown prince of Bavaria has a face, but if Bühler participates, the nature of our salon will be somewhat changed. After all, representatives of the main states within the empire have arrived, two Prussia, four kingdoms, and heir and future of the Grand Duchy of Baden. Prime Minister of China." Prince Albert thought for a while and said.

"The analysis is right. Ruprecht used a small action to change the nature of the entire salon, but we can't say anything. In the past 20 years of history, he has used such small actions to profit and control the situation time and time again. , Until now! I hate these very much." The Kaiser said with some dissatisfaction.

"But wouldn’t it be a good thing to get the major states in Germany to agree on certain issues? And I think this topic is very deep, Europe! The center of the world is Europe. If you can solve the European problem, then We are tantamount to solving 70% of the world's problems." Grand Duke Baden said.

"Well, you are right. This is a very meaningful salon. Although there are some surprises, but the flaws are not concealed." The Kaiser finished speaking and took the cutlery in his hand. "So good, let's eat now!"

"If nothing happens, then I will leave first." After the meal, Grand Duke Baden got up and said.

"You do it yourself," the Kaiser said.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to invite Grand Duke Oldenburg?" Grand Duke Baden hesitated and said.

"Ruprecht said some very good ideas in his mind. I think we should think about it carefully, and it takes time. The date of the Salon has been postponed, and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg will return to the Principality recently. So, really It's a pity." The Kaiser thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Grand Duke Baden wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a while, and finally did not speak.

"Brother, you are the closest person to me. In the entire empire, if there is someone who can support me unreservedly, then it must be you. I hope that our friendship can continue to future generations. The Hohenzollern family and Lu The Dewig family can share fate with the breath. If you have any opinions, we can make it clear in person." The Kaiser stood up and said frankly to Grand Duke Baden.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Grand Duke Baden was a little surprised by the Kaiser's attitude. He really wanted to say something. But after thinking about it, he turned and left the restaurant.

"Albert, your road ahead is very long and difficult." The Kaiser said to Prince Albert beside him. "I personally created the gap between you and your brother. I know this is very bad for you, but I have to do it again!"

"You know? Every action and every action of Grand Duke Baden tonight has a very deep meaning. He has a prejudice against you, but I order you not to blame him. He is for the whole empire, but our starting point is different. , If you and the Grand Duchy of Baden are both in the future, then the Hohenzollern family will not be far from the crown landing!" The Kaiser sighed.

"I believe the Grand Duke's doing this makes sense." Prince Albert said.

"Do you know why I worked so hard to train you?" the Kaiser asked.

"In order for me to assist my brother. In the future, if the royal family does not have a reliable power in the hands, then the so-called emperors and kings are nothing more than pavilions on the beach, and now, outsiders cannot be trusted." Prince Albert Said. What the prince said was very measured. He tried to suppress the devil named desire in his heart. In his dreams, he could feel that he was not far away from the crown that symbolized the supreme power, but reason told him that this At least the crown has no chance with him now, not that he is no match for the crown prince, but the situation does not allow it!

"I have a hunch, I feel that the crown prince may not be able to become emperor smoothly in the future!" said the emperor. "He is even more unscrupulous than I was back then! Even more incapable! And now, the imperial power is unprecedentedly weak! He has no friends, let alone reliable allies. I am worried that the Hohenzollern family will wipe out the dust in his hands! Therefore, I need a backup! Once he cannot fulfill his responsibilities as a crown prince or emperor, you can take his place!"

Before World War I, was the German Emperor powerful? The answer is yes, but it does not mean that this power is completely unlimited. The Federal Parliament has the power to let the Kaiser step down! And in history, William II has indeed received similar threats! When the imperial power is in full swing, William II can be threatened, let alone the future crown prince? The eldest son did more than the Kaiser! Even worse! And the imperial power is weaker! So The Kaiser’s worries are completely justified!

After so many things, William II’s ability and political wisdom are also growing! So he must be prepared, at least, he must leave a back hand! He needs when the crown prince is deposed, the Hohenzollern family can introduce a person who can be accepted by all parties and has a certain ability to inherit the rights and status of the Kaiser! And Prince Albert is this successor!

Therefore, William II broke the taboo that non-heirs of the royal family should not have excessive rights! He began to train Prince Albert as a prince. He let Prince Albert deal with various things to improve his ability. He allowed the prince to deal with all aspects of the empire to manage his own network and relationship circle. What he did was so obvious that the Grand Duke of Baden and other nearby ministers doubted whether the Kaiser planned to establish another crown prince!

However, should I change to a prince? I'm sorry to do so now. Looking at the growing up of Prince Albert, the Kaiser didn't know if he was going to let the prince make a backup, or if he really planned to establish another crown prince! The Kaiser is very tangled! Also very depressed!

Fortunately, the Kaiser still has time. He estimates that he still has more than 20 years to reign, and he can always sort out these problems! But some things must be done now, for example, he can't let Prince Albert be suspicious of Grand Duke Baden! Because if there is a change of reserves in the future, the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg may not be reliable, and the only real iron for the Kaiser is the Grand Duchy of Baden!
