"Overall people believe that the determination of the internal status of the three kingdoms of Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Saxony in Prussia was the result of mutual political compromise between the kingdoms within Germany after the founding of the empire. This statement makes sense, or because of this, the war between the German countries was avoided and the tragedy of being taken advantage of by the French or other countries."

"But then, we entered a period of peaceful development. Why did Prussia, which had unprecedentedly powerful strength, still guarantee the rights of the three kingdoms and the main grand priests? Are they powerless? Is it because of estimating the external environment? These are hard to say, but the most important point is that the king of Prussia and the emperor of Germany, believed that such a situation was the most beneficial to him and the best way to maintain the monarchy! Because he limited the power of the bourgeoisie!" Ruprecht explained with a smile.

"Prince Holvig should be troubled by the capitalists within the Imperial Parliament all day long, right? I can only say that you are very lucky now. If it were the European Revolution in 1848 or the military reform in 1861, you might not be facing the accusations of the capitalists in the parliament, but their bullets!" said the prince.

"You should know that in the European Revolution in 1848, the rebels were spread throughout Germany, Prussia, Austria, and most states. It was a storm that swept across the entire Central Europe. If you were not careful, the crown would be knocked down to the mortal world. The military reform in 1861 was also a critical moment for His Majesty William I and the Iron-blooded Prime Minister to confirm the monarchy. In other words, before Prussia moves towards German unification, they will first fight in the country!" The prince paused and asked Holvig to continue to digest this information.

"After experiencing these things, whether it is His Majesty William I or Prime Minister Bismarck, they realized that it is possible to destroy the German states. After all, in the process of the unification of the German Empire, countries such as the Kingdom of Hanover also disappeared. However, they also realized that one thing was that they could not destroy the parliament forever. They always had to fight with the parties in the parliament. This was a war that could never stop, right? It has been continued since the parliament had been there until now!"

"The military power of Prussia allowed him to unify the entire empire, but he was a little weak when dealing with parliament. After all, domestic affairs cannot be solved by violence. Well, in order to ensure the stability of the monarchy, they must come up with a solution."

"And this method is to continue to retain most states in the German system! Because only in this way can there be a federal parliament above the Imperial Parliament. The federal parliament is controlled by the state and can be used as the last fuse to ensure the monarchy and the status of the nobles!"

"What about the bourgeoisie? Because of the existence of various states, it is difficult for them to form a unified national party. The so-called largest party, how many people are in the Social Democratic Party? It is only more than 1 million. The existence of states weakens the emperor's rule, but also weakens the power of the bourgeoisie. Therefore, a balance was formed within the German Empire, and the German emperor could also obtain help from Bavaria when dealing with the bourgeoisie."

"Then the final political model of the German Empire was born. Prussia had an overwhelming advantage, but it guaranteed the rights of other states, and the latter helped Prussia restrict the internal bourgeois power and avoid the occurrence of the Great Revolution such as in 1848. Therefore, although Prussia would weaken the privileges of some kingdoms for domestic development, it definitely did not fundamentally abolish the kingdom. Do you understand?" the prince said with a smile.

"Damn, this water is so deep?" Prime Minister Holvig looked at Grand Duke Baden next to him, and suddenly felt that in some things, Grand Duke Baden and Ruprecht were all the way... Grand Duke Baden on the side had not spoken, and his default attitude was actually equivalent to admitting what the prince said.

"So, let's change the topic. Why is Austria capable of eating Hungary in this situation? Although I understand your ideas to some extent, I lack sufficient reasons and evidence." asked Grand Duke Baden.

"The situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is different from that in the German Empire. Their ethnic conflicts are even greater than class conflicts. After the Pakatan Harapan War, Austria's reputation fell to a low point. But why is Hungary, which has 300,000 ordinary kilometers of land, still willing to be under the rule of the Habsburgs? Because, within the Hungarian territory, there is not even half of the proportion of Hungarians. Whether it is the bourgeoisie or ordinary people, they all know that without Austria's support, it will be difficult for the Hungarians to rule such a huge country! And Austria is the same."

"But what's going on now? The situation is different. If the Austrian Germans did not have enough control over the Bohemia before the birth of the Austrian Empire, but now it is different. Now, the integration of the Austrian Germans and the Bohemia people has accelerated. This trend has led to unprecedented unity in Austria. In addition, it has its own industrial and economic advantages. In the binary empire, Austria's advantage is already great!" said the prince.

"Haha, Bavaria and Your Highness, you have made great contributions to this point." Prime Minister Holvig said half-seriously and half-jokingly, and there seemed to be some sarcastic elements in it.

"That's right, so we have gained control and inheritance from Bohemia-Moravia. My eldest son, Albrecht, will inherit the rule of Crown Princess Mary in the above areas." The prince said proudly.

"Damn it! What's the situation?!" This time, not only Prime Minister Holvig was shocked, but even Grand Duke Baden was stunned. After all, the previous treaty signed between Austria and Bavaria only made Princess Mary have the power of governance as the grand duke of the two places, but did not talk about the issue of inheritance... Although they were both grand dukes, in the face of the grand duke of Bohemia-Moravia, the land owned by a small European country, was much tougher than his grand duke...

"Three days ago, I think the German Emperor should have known about this now. After all, if the Ao Emperor wants to do such a big thing, how can I not have reliable foreign aid?" the prince said with a smile. The so-called political transaction cannot be without reward. Moreover, the prince said that he was out of the political struggle between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and probably no one believed it. So since that is the case, the prince might as well admit it openly that he took the benefits given by the Ao-Hungarian Empire and then helped the Ao-Hungarian Empire settle some things.
