It is not just the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the Ottoman Turkey was also very nervous after learning the news. They were even less confident than the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If Fritz gritted his teeth and could say no with the support of Prince Ruprecht, would the Turkish Empire have a choice? Libya is now occupied by the Allies. If it is to retake it back later, it will require the help of Germany and Austria. More importantly, Britain and France are now concentrating their troops on the Balkans and preparing to capture Constantinople in minutes...

To put it bluntly, Turkey is now at a critical moment of life and death, so how can there be so much capital to bargain! The Austro-Hungarian Empire is just a little uncomfortable when it comes to opposition. If Germany does not help Turkey, then Türkiye may really have to consider a retreat.

However, after hearing that this time the Bavarian Legion would concentrate its efforts to reinforce the Balkans, and through private channels, the Turks learned that Prince Ruprecht also refused to compromise in Italy, the Turkish leadership finally put his heart back in his chest.

Compared with Germany, the credibility and ability of the Bavarian crown prince is also a well-known signboard abroad. At least in the war, the Bavarian army is invincible, and Prince Ruprecht is famous for his words. The representative of the Bavarian Kingdom to Turkey. (This is true. Historically, the Bavarian Kingdom has foreign institutions in some countries...) has also made a special trip to express his position to the Turkish government. The actions of the Bavarian Legion directly deployed in the border areas between Turkey and Bulgaria made the little brother even more grateful. At present, the two sides are having a deeper discussion on the economic cooperation issues between the two sides after the war is over...

Of course, the German Emperor was also very confused about this issue.

"This is the first time Ruprecht disobeyed my will, and it is difficult for me to distinguish whether this is his true intention or his care for his father-in-law." William II said unconcealedly at a royal meeting. Although he was very dissatisfied, this matter could only be concluded. After all, it was not only the Prussians who attended the meeting, but also the Grand Duke of Württemberg, the Prince of Saxony and the heirs of the Principal of Baden. Overall, it is better to say less about this kind of influence on domestic unity.

"Ruprecht wants my Prime Minister to see him?" William II said to Xiao Moltke.

"It's like this. Some political matters need to be negotiated with the minister you trust the most." Little Moltke nodded and said.

"Haha, do you know? Our Bavarian prince can always find sufficient reasons for everything he does, which makes you very dissatisfied, but you can't vent." William II said, touching his chin. "Well, Prime Minister Holvig, do you think it's necessary for you to put down your work and meet the Bavarian prince?"

"Hold the grass! How do I know if it is necessary!" Prime Minister Holvig said in his heart. "This tm is offending people from both ends. Let's say go. Judging from the current attitude of the German Emperor, he seems to be very dissatisfied with the prince. He said no, isn't this obviously taking the blame for offending Bavaria on him? To be honest, as a kingdom, Bavaria is not something he is willing to offend. Ma Dan, the German Emperor has no choice. What should you do if you let me be the Prime Minister?!"

"Aitel Fredrich, what about your opinion." It seemed that the German Emperor realized Holvig's dilemma and (maybe) said to his second son beside him.

"This, since you think Prince Ruprecht said something is reasonable. And there seems to be something else to say. If letters and telegrams cannot be explained clearly, I think it is necessary to send effective people to communicate with the Crown Prince of Bavaria. We should at least let that prince finish his words." Prince Eitel Fredrich said.

"Very good. Since everyone thinks that what the prince said makes sense, then, Holvig and Fredrich, you two go together to see what kind of rhetoric the prince can finally come up with. Don't let others say it, I didn't give him a chance!" The German Emperor had a mysterious expression on his face. Originally, it would be more appropriate to let his prince go like this, but Prince William is now also the commander of the army and cannot be pulled away. Therefore, William II planned to let his second son be the royal representative and then go to see Prince Ruprecht with the Prime Minister.

"Actually, I think that if Italy is willing to maintain its current neutrality, we can also drag it down." said Albrecht, the Grand Duke of Württemberg. "Italy will definitely not participate in the war now. They are speculators. Before the situation is clear, especially when Russia has been severely damaged, they dare not join the Allies rashly. Otherwise, joining the Allies at the beginning of the war poses greater threat to us than joining now, but their failure to do so means that Italy is also very guilty!"

"However, we need to come up with a plan after all, and procrastination cannot solve the problem. We must decide on the attitude towards Italy." The German Emperor said with some dissatisfaction. "Of course, we must respect the opinions of the allies. Some of them think that we are using their interests to exchange for Germany's interests. This statement is absolutely wrong. We prosper and lose with each other. We are just an objective and fair discussion on this issue, that's all!"

William II also knew that his opinions were very hatred, and just temptation, they were met with fierce reactions from other allies. For Germany, which had only three allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Turkish Empire had already expressed dissatisfaction, which also made the German Emperor uneasy. After all, both Austro-Hungarian and Turkey are indispensable parts of the current strategic system of the allies. If they were shaken, the losses caused were not recoverable by Italy's joining!

"Prince, what is your opinion on this matter?" After the meeting, Prince Fredrich followed Prime Minister Holwig in a few steps and said.

"This, actually, I don't have a final judgment on this matter, but I think, no matter what, at least now, when Britain and France are about to take action against Turkey, we must at least put Turkey first! Stabilize the entire Balkan situation. If the Balkans are stable, then our chances of winning will be very high." Prime Minister Holvig thought for a while and said.

The so-called governance of a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. It is not good to easily change national policies or make major adjustments. This is too turbulent, so Prime Minister Holvig also focuses on stability!
