"So who should I look for?" The German Emperor fell into deep thought. As the prime minister of the empire, Holvig had to go, but he could not be a special envoy. Why? Because his status is not enough! I really think that Bismarck and Holvig are both prime ministers, and their status is the same? What a joke!

Bismarck was regarded as a partner of the German Emperor when he was William I. His power was not only in administration, but even the Prussian General Staff under the leadership of the old Moltke, who had to walk according to Bismarck's baton. When the German Emperor was crowned, Bismarck stood next to the German Emperor, and if the Chief of Staff wanted to meet the German Emperor, Bismarck would also have to agree. And when the audience was met, the Prime Minister must be present. Think about what a NB character he was. He could flatten France on the battlefield, but he could not suppress Bismarck in China...

Look at Bismarck's final title, Prince Bismarck, Duke of Raunberg! Think about it, how many non-royal blood in Germany can finally get the title of prince? Is the title of prince valuable? It is not valuable to say that it is not valuable. As long as you are from a regular royal family, it is not difficult to get the title of prince, such as William II's younger brother Prince Heinrich and Prince Leopold, the prince's uncle. But if you don't have this bloodline, you can still get the title of prince in the end. This is much more difficult than adding Feng to your name!

If the German Emperor and the Prime Minister were co-governing this country during the Bismarck era, and the German Emperor had full trust in the prime minister and gave the latter enough rights, then at this time, Holvig's rights were too small. To use later generations, Holvig was a senior professional manager who worked on the board of directors of Germany Limited. Prussia and Bavaria were all members of the board of directors. Moreover, the prime minister could directly command the only branch of the Prussia Limited Liability Company, and he could not control too much of the business of the Bavarian branch... Look at this identity, tragic...

So, the German Emperor now wants to find a relatively NB and reliable existence as his special envoy. Well, don't think about his own sons. The status of the crown prince is enough, but this guy feels that he is still very immature in politics and is too impulsive. This time he went to negotiate, not to quarrel. If the heirs of the two countries conflict like this, that would be too bad. Except for the crown prince, others are also not politically capable and have no equal status.

In Europe, the difference between the views of the crown prince and the prince is very big. Generally speaking, as the second son of non-heir, there are few particularly outstanding people. William II is the emperor. Although his younger brother Prince Heinleich holds the rank of marshal, the fleet he commands is just a former fearless fleet. The identity of the royal family gives him more nominal respect. (Of course, social status and salary are still objective)

As for the prince's uncle, Prince Leopold, what do you think? This is an exception. This brother is really capable of fighting. He participated in the Pratt-Austria War and the Franco-Prussian War. Later, he was also the commander of the front-level army. He was the second-in-commander of the Bavarian Legion. In history, he was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front. He signed the Treaty of Brest. One of the five winners of the Big Iron Cross. Except for the German Emperor who made up the numbers, there were only four. The status and ability of this guy can be imagined.

Since your immediate family is not good and the prime minister is not qualified, how can you find someone? There is no suitable existence in Prussia. This person's domestic status must be very high (not only political status), but also has certain rights, and his political level must be high, and he must also be on the same mind as himself! So good, is there such a person? There is no such person in Prussia, but there is really in Germany!

So, William II thought of his cousin, Friedrich II, the Grand Duke of Baden! You should know that most of the royal and royal views in Europe are blood-related. In the era of Bavaria and Austria, Emperor Fritz had half of Bavarian blood, and his wife was a Bavarian princess. I really thought that only the Habsburg dynasty played political marriages? Prussia would do the same!

The current Grand Duke of Baden is William II's cousin, because his mother is William I's only daughter, and his father, Friedrich I was the uncle of the German Emperor. This person is the best choice in terms of status and political inclination!

First of all, Baden is the fifth largest shareholder in Germany Co., Ltd., and Baden is the highest among the second-class country - the Grand Duchy! It is second only to Prussia, Bavaria, Wurttemberg, and Saxony in terms of political rank. If you want to talk about the land area and population, Baden is actually no different from Saxony. Even during William I, Baden wanted to upgrade from the Grand Duchy to a kingdom. However, what is unexpected is that this plan was stranded. As for the specific reasons, everyone understands...

Then, let’s talk about political tendencies, there is no need to mention the cousin relationship between the two sides. Looking back, when Versailles Hall of Mirror was crowned, Grand Duke Baden was the most honorable guest of William II. It was not that there was no more noble person in Germany. However, no king of the other three kings at that time... (From this perspective, the German Emperor was tragic enough). This attitude and the continuation of political tendencies made William II trust Grand Duke Baden very much. (The last prime minister of the German Empire in history was also the heir of the Grand Duke Baden, which also shows how close the relationship between the two countries is.)

If you talk about political level, you are a person in your 50s and have been a grand duke for 5 years. You are always much better than your son and others. It can be said that this person has equal political status, political loyalty can be guaranteed, and his political level is also good. He is definitely the best candidate.

So, after thinking for a while, the German Emperor decided to write a letter to his cousin, asking him to go to the Balkans to talk to Ruprecht on behalf of the German Emperor, the German Empire and the Grand Duchy of Baden to talk to Ruprecht about what the other party wanted to do?!

As for why Ruprecht was not allowed to come to Brussels, Belgium, the reason is very simple, it is not justified. The prince is now the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, and the battle is about to begin. How can the supreme commander be easily allowed to leave at this time? Second, although the prince has real power, the king of Bavaria is still Ludwig III after all. If such a thing is to be discussed with great fanfare, the king of Bavaria can go without the prince.
