Chapter 1710 Berlin Conspiracy 3

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Bavaria is still our potential ally. To be honest, I have always wanted a unified Germany with complete political decrees, not a country that is scattered. I have always believed that after the establishment of the German Empire, other kingdoms should be retained. And giving considerable independence is a very wrong thing!" Albert said with some displeasure.

"However, this is a historical issue, and it is not something we can solve or change. I think our plan needs to be changed. It is enough to obtain the central power of Prussia and Germany. For Bavaria, it is best not to do anything in this operation. Touch,” Landsberg said.

"Don't most of the factory owners and financiers in Prussia want Bavaria to be weakened?" Albert said with some surprise.

"A philosopher once said that if the profit is as high as 300%, the capitalists will trample all laws in the world. And if the price is right, the capitalists will sell the rope to hang themselves. The Prussian industrial giants have never been one. They are Either they have a cooperative relationship with Bavaria, or they are afraid of the prince, so a considerable number of people will choose to wait and see," Landsberg said.

"How much does it cost to buy these guys? Can Bavaria afford it?" Albert asked.

"The oil in the Baku oil field is enough to buy off a considerable number of investors, and the farms in Ukraine are enough to make the land-hungry Junker nobles bow their heads. The former is an almost monopolistic interest, but what about the latter? The post-war empire has a population of hundreds of millions, and they The food problem is a very big cake! Even the Essen-Krupp family is negotiating with Bavaria on related matters," Landsberg said.

"Haha, it's hard to say who owns that place. The Kaiser has not promised it, and we can take it back after we take control of the power!" Albert said disdainfully.

"If you take power, it will be impossible to obtain this oil field from Bavaria." At this time, Buhler, who had just rested for two minutes, spoke again.

"Why?" Albert looked at the other party with a complicated expression.

"Because no one, including me, will ever start a civil war with Bavaria over the ownership of an oil field! You cannot convince the General Staff, let alone the right to order! Believe me, Mr. Albert, After this revolution, maybe the Kaiser's imperial power will no longer be there, and maybe you will become the real chancellor of the empire, but the officer corps will still be the officer corps, and the Kingdom of Bavaria will still be the Kingdom of Bavaria." Bühler faced Albert with confusion and even some disgust. With a look in his eyes, he said without hesitation.

"And you join our team to change the German military." Albert said.

"Yes,

But this is a very long process. This kind of class change will even take longer than overthrowing a dynasty. Moreover, all of us here want a better tomorrow for the German Empire, so military means are not an option. And through economic or other means, Bavaria has passed the most difficult period. After acquiring Bohemia and Moravia, Bavaria's comprehensive national strength is no longer weaker than Italy. After gaining more territory after World War I, its strength may reach a standard close to France. And when there is still Austria-Hungary outside as Austrian aid, this is not a question of whether it can be defeated, but a question of absolutely not being able to defeat it. "Buhler said.

"Is Bavaria really going to fight to the end?" Wells asked.

"You didn't understand me. Whether it's the officer corps or other kingdoms, unless the Kingdom of Bavaria declares independence or treason, they will not fight at all. Because this is a zero-sum result! People with weapons in their hands don't want to fight , then in Germany, others simply can’t get them to fight.”

"And, believe me, Prince Ruprecht is a decisive, strong, and wise man. He will never give in. He will use all his means to win, and this is even more true when it comes to the distribution of benefits. !" Buller said.

"You seem to admire your Highness very much," Wells said.

"I'm just stating a fact. We have to distinguish between primary and secondary goals. It's already very difficult to take over the Prussian government, and setting two goals at this time can easily lead to a fight. The fundamental reason for our success is Prussia’s internal problems, while Bavaria is a seamless egg, we can’t find an entry point, and if we start from the outside, the cost is too high and the danger is too high,” Buhler said.

"Okay, I will deal with the relationship with the Kingdom of Bavaria carefully. Now let's discuss the next issue." Albert thought for a while and said: "At present, the best result the navy can guarantee is to remain neutral. However, This neutrality may not take direct military action against us, so what should we do if the Mackensen Army on the Eastern Front uses civilian ships for transportation or asks the navy to provide them with transportation capacity?" Although Albert was facing everyone present. Said, but obviously, everyone knew that this was said to Buller.

"Two years have passed. Except for the merchant ships that are still used to transport iron ore to Norway, most of the merchant ships are in the port. They lack maintenance and sufficient crews, and it is not easy to mobilize them in a hurry. Although the Russian Baltic Fleet has It's over, but there are still some submarines surviving, and it is still very dangerous without the escort of the navy. Therefore, if he wants to leave the navy and do it alone, Mackensen has to bear considerable risks." Buller thought for a while and said.

"But it's still possible. We can't gamble. After all, we only have one chance." Albert said.

"The best way is to wait and see what happens. After the revolution breaks out in Russia, the Kaiser will definitely order the Mackensen Army to launch an attack at this time, because this is the final harvest period. And if Mackensen's army is deployed on the front line If so, then under the current circumstances, it will not be so easy for him to shrink his troops," Buller said.

"It seems that we have to wait until the conflict between the two kingdoms of Prussia and Bavaria reaches a fever pitch, until the revolution breaks out in Russia, and the Kaiser puts his last mobile power into the Eastern Front?" Albert asked.

"Yes, we have completed the layout, and the rest is just waiting." Buller nodded and said.

"We now need to control more troops, personnel, equipment, and sufficient supplies. Let's work hard in these directions in the future. As for military matters, please leave it to Mr. Buller." Albert finally said .
