"Actually, if His Majesty the German Emperor did not let me ask Prince Ruprecht for his opinion, the situation would be better." After the meeting, Moltke said to himself. What is the current situation? The German Emperor already had an idea, but because of the involvement of allies and the indecisiveness of the German Emperor himself, he did not use this as a basis for formal contact with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The German Emperor was the kind who wanted to promote this but wanted others to take the blame... and then the blame was naturally the best for Prince Ruprecht, who is the son-in-law of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after all, they are a family...

In fact, as the heir to Bavaria, the prince is not a king at present. It is barely reasonable for the German Emperor not to seek the prince's opinions. After all, this is more inclined to diplomacy and politics. Although the prince has military positions in the German Empire, he does not have diplomatic or government positions. Of course, the latter's unhappiness and resistance will definitely be, but it will never make things so far.

The German Emperor solicited the prince's opinion. If the prince objected on the first day, and soon, the German Emperor expressed his willingness to accept Italy's opinions and formally negotiated with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this would undoubtedly be a slap in the face. Then the prince should think that since you have made the decision and you also know that this matter is embarrassing Bavaria, then he still pretended to ask me what I was doing? Just to let me take the blame? Why?! It is predictable that if this matter really happens, then the equipment originally planned to be transferred from the East Line to the West Line may have problems. As for the reason? The Bavarian staff members will assign 100 of them in a minute! The reason is the most valuable!

Therefore, the current situation has become that the German Emperor must temporarily suspend this plan to ease the relationship with Austro-Hungary and Turkey, and at the same time give the prince a face. As for how long it takes to be suspended, this is not accurate... A considerable part of the prince's words may not agree with what the prince said, but one thing is right, that is, as long as Italy remains neutral, it will be fine for the current situation.

In fact, it is not only the German Emperor who is worried about this matter at the moment. Austria-Hungary, as the potential bleeding party, has also been depressed by this matter recently. The German ambassador to Vienna has raised this matter to Austria more than once. However, Fritz has not given a positive reply and hinted that he is very dissatisfied with this transaction! Because Germany has made the allies pay unnecessary price for their own interests! However, neither side has spread the matter out of the matter, so it is temporarily put on hold.

However, shelving it does not mean solving the problem. Therefore, so far, Emperor Fritz must also consider that when the German government formally proposed to him that it was a matter of using Austro-Hungarian territory to exchange for Italy to join the Allies, his attitude was questioned. To be honest, Fritz was really unwilling to throw his land to the Italians who were a feud......

My family knows his own affairs, and now Fritz finally understands what Prince Ruprecht said to him at the beginning - we must know how to start the war, and even more so how to end the war! At that time, I was very dissatisfied with the son-in-law's speech. The implicit meaning of this sentence was that Austria-Hungary knew to provoke a war and then make a profit, but did not know how to win and end the war. To put it clearly, I did not know that the war was dangerous! I had great ambitions, but my teeth were not good...

Now, although the war has only been going on for a year, the front-line troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have almost changed... The consumption and losses of the world war are indeed far beyond Fritz's expectations. After the rapid war cannot be reached, Austro-Hungarian and other countries were actually trapped in the quagmire of war. For Britain, France and Germany, which have deep internal strength and strong family, after the war in the first year, everyone ended the warm-up and officially started fighting. However, for Austro-Hungarian, the current situation is already a bit bad. As a country with an area larger than Germany, the population is only 40 million. And it is also an underdeveloped industrial country, with millions of troops fighting on the front line. Not to mention the losses, the ammunition, food, and various equipment needed alone would be enough to make the Austro-Hungarian Empire vomit blood. If it weren't for Bavaria's support, Fritz really didn't know how he would persist!

If the people in China are under increasing pressure on survival and the battlefield is consumed greatly, and the people know that the empire will still give some territory to their former enemies as a price, then Fritz may be scolded to death by the whole country. Once this is used by people with ulterior motives, Fritz may have to face a political situation worse than losing to Prussia! However, Fritz cannot easily say no to the fear and dependence on German power. In this regard, Fritz is not even as tough as Ruprecht...

"The biggest failure in my life is that I always politicize all problems. I have always believed that a king should be a qualified politician. He can use his outstanding skills to balance the forces at home and abroad to maximize interests. But I was wrong. As an emperor, the power you can master is the most critical. Austria was sent to Germany because of insufficient strength. Now, because of insufficient strength, we also have to face the persecution from allies and blackmail from the Italians."

"So, Princess Mary, the future Empress of Austro-Hungarian Empire, you must remember this lesson. Ruprecht is reliable and the last hope of the empire. I hope that after the end of this war, when you are crowned as emperor, the empire will not do anything with the expression of looking at anyone!" Fritz said to his daughter like this when he was alone.

Objectively speaking, because of this incident, Fritz finally strengthened his mind to pass the throne to Princess Mary. Subjectively, any king hopes that his kingdom will be strong. This is also the most important criterion when choosing an heir. It can be expected that if the heir is not Princess Mary, then most of the cooperation projects between Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will probably be invalidated. At least Ruprecht will never care about the issue of rewards Italy needs.

On the side of Karl, because this has no benefit to Bavaria, and he offended the German Emperor for no reason! To put it bluntly, if Karl was in power, Ruprecht might also hope that chaos would occur in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then naturally he would put Bohemia, Moravia and even more places into control! You should know that even according to the German Emperor, Bavaria's national strength, which obtained additional territory after the war, would be up to the next level!
