Chapter 1720 Meeting the Austrian Emperor II

Chapter 1720 Meeting the Austrian Emperor 2

"Any effort should be rewarded! The German Empire, Austria, Bavaria, and Hungary all participated in this war as independent or semi-independent forces, so they deserve a share of the spoils, and if according to this In principle, as the Grand Duchess of Bohemia-Moravia, Princess Mary and her descendants should also share their spoils, do you agree with this matter?" Austrian Emperor said seriously.

"Damn it!" Regarding this, the Grand Duke of Baden really didn't know what to say. He knew what the Emperor Austria meant by the so-called independent or semi-independent power. Powers such as Württemberg, Saxony, and its own Grand Duchy of Baden are definitely not counted, not only because these kingdoms or duchies are too weak to be counted, but more importantly, in the entire German Empire, except Bavaria Besides, the armies of all other kingdoms or principalities are supported by the German central government. This is also the fundamental reason why in history, when describing Germany's military power, only Bavaria's legions can be named after the Bavarian First Army and Second Army, while other kingdoms cannot.

And if it is based on the self-support of its own army, then the Bohemia-Moravian Army is really a prince... . Because the military expenses of this legion, at least on the surface, are really paid by Grand Duchess Mary herself! Thinking of this, the Grand Duke of Baden felt depressed. Everyone is also a Grand Duke. His Grand Duke is also well-known in Germany, and he can be regarded as a first-class nobleman in Europe, but compared with the Grand Duke Mary, hey, there is such a gap It's so big!

"But you didn't bring it up before. During the negotiation among the three families, there was no grand duchess. If you are willing to give your daughter some compensation, you can take some from the spoils of the Austro-Hungarian Empire." The Grand Duke of Baden said.

"However, when the Prussian side violated the negotiation results first, do you still expect others to abide by it? Don't you think this idea is ridiculous? On the issue of morality, your Excellency and the Prussia behind you have no reason."

"And now, Bavaria's desire to dispose of its territory is completely legal and reasonable. After all, the so-called Kingdom of Poland has not yet been established, and the occupied areas on the Eastern Front should be under the control of the Eastern Front Command. Ruprecht is willing to give , We obey orders, there is no problem. As for the Kaiser thinking that we provoked his dignity, this, I can only say sorry, because he was the first to break the rules of the game. What we do will eventually have to be endured! "Ao Huang said.

Although, generally speaking, the relationship between Austria-Hungary and Germany has been pretty good recently, there are still some problems between the two sides, especially during the Bismarck period, when the Kaiser also vetoed the demands of the Austria-Hungary Empire, and as Prime Minister Bismarck is always restricting the ambitions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Bar's domestic area. This is what is meant by the so-called not allowing the mighty Germany to be kidnapped by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But now, the Austrian Emperor has already admitted that he is on the side of Bavaria in this matter, and at the same time found a reasonable reason.

after all,

If we want to say that during the war in Poland, the contribution of the Bohemian-Moravian Army is definitely much greater than the 200,000 troops that the East Prussian Army started. As a relatively independent military force, you really can't say anything if they want a piece of the action!

Of course, the most important point is what Ao Huang said just now, since everyone has broken the rules of the game and lost the previous trust, then how much you can get depends on your ability! Prussia wants it, but Bavaria just refuses to give it. What can you do to me? !

"This attitude is very unfriendly!" the Grand Duke of Baden said in his heart. However, at this time, if Aohuang dared to show his cards, it showed that he had the confidence. I came here to coordinate conflicts, not to create conflicts. The Grand Duke of Baden knew that he could not tell the Kaiser exactly what he just said. It would only lead to more tension between the two parties, and to be honest, even Tell the Kaiser about this, what else can the Kaiser do? With most generals in the General Staff not supporting the Kaiser, the Kaiser has lost the ability to use strong means to solve problems. At this time, the Grand Duke believes that even Prime Minister Holwig in Berlin dare not Promote the independence of Poland!

"Your Majesty, believe me, if things go on, this result is definitely not what you and I want to see." The Grand Duke of Baden's face was already a little anxious.

"If you want to solve the problem, you should not come to me, but to the Lord. Prussia is trying to gain victory by digging the wall, which is full of hostility. You also said just now, everyone wants to Negotiation and settlement, and the premise of negotiation and settlement is the goodwill between each other, and you come to Vienna instead of Saint Sophia, it is definitely not goodwill, right?" Austrian Emperor asked rhetorically.

"This is the rhythm of throwing the pot away!" The Grand Duke of Baden could clearly feel that the Austrian Emperor asked him to find Ruprecht to solve this problem. However, he really didn't want to face the Bavarian The Crown Prince, because the other party seems to be more determined than the Austrian Emperor, and even less able to solve the problem...

"I will go to St. Sophia, but before that, I want to remind Your Majesty that you should stay out of the affairs of Germany. Now, the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are enough for you to be busy." Grand Duke of Baden He took a deep breath and said. "In addition, as an ally, I really want to know how you want to deal with Hungary. We have no intention of interfering in your internal affairs, but just want to know."

"Is this another mission for you?" Austrian Emperor said with a smile. "A centralized, efficient state, like the German Empire. Hungary would be weakened, but would still exist, the Empire would become a federation, and Austria would be the most powerful presence in the federation, overwhelming the other states In addition, the Grand Duchy of Bohemia-Moravia will be hereditary. This can also be regarded as a father giving his daughter a little selfishness. There are no suitable people! I have to leave something behind."

"Huh?!" Unexpected, but reasonable! How can a person be selfless? The Austrian emperor dealt heavily with Hungary in order to centralize power, and at the same time supported Bohemia-Moravia, which was obviously for his own daughter. And Princess Mary's eldest son is now a citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It stands to reason that in the future, the throne of Bavaria should be inherited by another son. In this case, it seems very good!
