Chapter 2340: Qunhao IV

"We are all businessmen. We all know a truth. If only one side of a transaction is profitable, then this transaction cannot go on. Because no one will make any more transactions. This is also the case in this war. Old Prussia from the East The front line has achieved far more than what it paid for, so isn’t it normal that the difference in the indemnity of the Western Front is used to pay for these victories? We all know that the empire’s share of Austria-Hungary is a mere five percent, with 2 More than 100 million pounds directly buy land much larger than the entire old Prussia, this business is really profitable!" Arnold said with a smile.

"But we give Bavaria up to 15%! Whether you admit it or not, Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are one family, and they receive a total of 20% of the war reparations. Isn't that enough?" Gustav said.

"Bavaria deserves to receive 15% of the war reparations from the Western Front! The reason is very simple. Whether it is in terms of military strength or equipment input, not to mention Bavaria's investment in the Eastern Front, it is purely from the investment in the Western Front, the Balkans and Asia Minor. The combat power of the Bavarian Legion is more than 15% of the entire German army! The effort should be directly proportional to the return. Your Excellency should understand this, right?"

"Whether it is the Prussians, Bavaria, or Austria-Hungary, or even the enemies of the empire, they all admire the talents of Crown Prince Ruprecht. Is this true? Well, no matter if you look at past experience Still looking forward, shouldn't we listen to Crown Prince Ruprecht's opinion on this incident? Isn't that too much to ask?" Arnold said.

"That's right. Whether it's in the Imperial Parliament or the Federal Parliament, even if it's a representative or the smallest state, the empire has no reason to prohibit it from speaking. What's more, the most powerful state in the empire and its Heir," said Dr. Felix.

"So, Arnold, tell me your purpose, the crown prince must have asked you to do something?" Gustav said.

"That's right, in the next week, Ruprecht will invite everyone, as well as senior officials of the imperial government and parliament, to a meeting. In this meeting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will express his views. You can refute after listening, you can Protest, you can also express your opposition with practical actions. But before that, we should not give up the last chance for reconciliation." Arnold said.

"Can I refuse?" Gustav said.

"It's completely voluntary, but as a person who wants to enter the game, I feel that you should listen to the opinions of the other party, even if you know the future enemy." Arnold said.

"Gustav, even though Bavaria and us are competitors, we also have a cooperative relationship. From a fair point of view, the weapons designed and produced by Bavaria are indeed better than ours. Moderate competition is important to us. Favorable, we like competition because it makes us stronger. Competitors are not necessarily enemies, but they may also be friends. Of course, we understand the special relationship between Your Excellency and His Majesty the Emperor, and the resulting tendency to choose, but since Representatives of His Majesty the Emperor will attend, so Your Excellency should attend even out of courtesy," Heinrich said.

Heinrich's words can be regarded as smoothing the field for Gustav. After all, this meeting is considered semi-public in nature, and Gustav and the representative of the Kaiser will naturally not arouse random guesses from others. As the most powerful person in the entire empire, Ruprecht and the Kingdom of Bavaria must also give face. What's more, everyone goes to discuss and solve problems. Whether it's the Kaiser, Bavaria or the Parliament faction, they don't want to make things too big. Ruprecht has listened to the opinions of the Kaiser and the Parliament faction once, so in turn,

As a reciprocity, the Kaiser and the parliament faction should also listen to Ruprecht's opinion.

"Heinrich, I am very disappointed with your attitude today." After a while, Gustav, who was no longer in the mood to continue the conversation, was ready to see off the guests. Dr. Felix left very simply, and Arnold Siemens followed Leave, and when Heinrich was about to leave, Gustav stopped the latter.

"I always think that you who support the parliamentarians should hate local forces and nobles the most, and Bavaria has both of them. Don't the parliamentarians and their supporters have two original intentions? The first is that the national center controls Power, weakening the power of the state, the second is to abolish the monopoly of the Junker nobles within the empire on the high-level." Gustav said.

"I support them because I think they may make this country better, and I think the two things they advocate can make the country stronger. But in fact, what they did in the process disappointed me too much." Hein Rishi said.

"Disappointed?" Gustav asked.

"That's right, it's disappointment. You guessed it right. I do have an unusually close connection with the Parliament faction, so I know a lot of things. I know their decision-making and psychological process during the turbulent period. They are even prepared to fight against the rebellious Poland. Man made peace! And in the end, it was a soldier who stopped it all, a former Army Colonel named Buller. He stood up to the pressure of his morals and his duty. He was a hero and the others were Clowns. This is absolutely unforgivable in my opinion."

"I thought they were a group of people who were brave enough to pioneer. They had ideals and means, but in the end they only had power in their hearts, and their means were not good. Their thinking was still on how to govern a country of 500,000 square kilometers, but It cannot adapt to the current powerful empire of more than 1.5 million square kilometers."

"As a leader, you can be cunning and treacherous, because in politics this word is synonymous with wisdom. But you must have persistence and a bottom line! Can't be weak! No one wants to see their boss or deputy is a soft-headed! Understand me Do you mean Gustav?" Heinrich said.

"Okay, I'll pretend that you even scolded His Majesty the Emperor." Gustav smiled wryly. Regarding the choice of the Kaiser at that time, Gustav was very clear, he was very complaining, even when he first agreed to the establishment of a state by the Poles, Gustav was very dissatisfied. He believes that in order to strengthen centralization, what we need to do is not to pull in a new state like Bavaria as a check, but to directly and simply strengthen ourselves and weaken our opponents. Gustav knew the Kaiser's abilities and personality problems, but it was a pity that it was not convenient for him to speak out directly. Or it's useless to say it.
